Willis Hargrove Writes “Last Will and
Testament”—Annie Hogan Reads
Letter Telling Class History
The class day exercises of the mid
year graduates of Greensboro High
School were held in the Odell Memorial
building Thursday, January 27. The
exercises took the form of a play di
vided into two scenes.
The first scene took place in the hall
of Greensboro High School. The class
met for their final get-together, a pic
nic. Before going on such a danger
ous adventure James West took inven
tory of the things the class had to leave
their school and friends, while Willis
Hargrove wrote “The Last Will and
Testament.” They willed Miss Mitchell
a schedule which would satisfy all. To
the pupils of G. H. S. this class left
a tVestern Union clock, guaranteed to
keep the right time and not to ring
until every scholar is in his desk and
ready for class. George Donavant’s
“Baby Face” was bequeathed to “Pete”
tVyrick and “Chuck” Burgess. A let
ter, which Annie Hogan had written to
Elsie Palmer revealing their history,
was read by Annie. The lunch was col
lected, and they started for a picnic
place with Banks Simpson and Elsie
Palmer leading the way.
In the second scene they arrived at
the unknown spot. In looking over this
place George Dohavant found a mys
terious paper which disclosed the fu
ture of the class of ’27. Mildred Nash,
the class artist, drew a word picture
of each graduate. tVhen “all the good
things had been eaten” they sang their
school, class, and farewell songs before
returning home.

STUDENT COUNCIL GIVES
PROGRAM OF WELCOME
Visit Eighth Grades of Mclver and Cald
well Schools, January
26 and 27
PROGRAM VERY MUCH ENJOYED
In order to avoid confusion when the
students entering high school for the
first time came over, the Student Coun
cil of G. H. S. visited the eighth grades
of Mclver and Caldwell schools, and
gave a program both of welcome and
instructions, 'Wednesday and Thursday,
January 26 and 27.
Willard Watson, president of the stu
dent body, was in charge of the pro
gram, and after he gave a few words of
welcome and advice, Betty Brown
talked on “What You Can Mean to the
High School.” “What the High School
Can Mean to You” was the subject of
a talk by Henry Biggs, in which he
declared “The high school will mean
to you just what you mean to the high
school, plus just twice as much more.”
Zaidee Smith told the students about
the elective courses, and Walter Peter
son and Earl Harlee discussed the
music offered at G. H. S. Charles
Rives and Bill Petree told of the sports
of Greensboro High and the benefits
derived from them, and Mary Lynn
Carlson concluded the program by tell
ing the freshmen about the publications.

THE GROWTH OF MISSIONS
TOPIC OF KILTIE CLUB
History of Missionary Work is Dis
cussed By Entire Group—C. T.
Boyd Speaks
MARY ELIZABETH KING PLAYS
“The Growth of Missions” was the
chief topic at a meeting of the Kiltie
Klub January 26. Everyone joined in
this discussion. These were some of
the ideas brought out: The first great
movement of missionary work in mod
ern times was the colonization of the
new world ; the second was when the
individual began to declare himself, as
in the French Revolution; the third
was the industrial revolution. The men
who did the most for the development
of the cause were also discussed.
The meeting of the following week,
January 2, was a continuance of the
discussion on “The Growth of Mis
sions.” A talk was made by C. T. Boyd
on this subject, and Mary Elizabeth
King played several piano selections.
(I) How to Live Without Working.
This may be done in any one of many
ways.
You might marry a rich “old maid.”
Be sure she is ninety-three years old, or
older, that she has no distant relatives
to whom she may will her fortune, and
that a conservative estimate of her es
tate’s value after her death will be
$137,376.97.
At her death you should mourn very
loudly, tear your hair, and say that
you cannot live without your little rose.
Place an inscription on her tombstone
which reads, “Here lies my little tootsie-
wootsie, whom hath been taken from
me so soon.”
If, however, she lives six months
after her ninety-fourth birthday, the
rules say that she may be poisoned,
specifying that wood alcohol should be
used. Any policeman will direct you
to a wood alcohol station.
II
Another method, quite effective but
not quite so satisfying, is to stop work
altogether, and to cease taking any
pains to gain a living. Depend entirely
on charity. The one drawback in this
method is the fact that its executors
cannot eat.
III
Probably the easiest way to gain a
luxurious living without work is to
teach school in Greensboro High School.
There is no work to the job, pay is
extremely high, and a “dizzy” social set
of teachers set a pace which makes a
tutor’s life one gay round of good times
after another.
Since this subject is so very close to
all our homes, let me expound through
some hard and fast examples.
Mr. George Baker Wynne, (some mis
understanding pupil thought that the
“B” was “Bagga” ’Wind) on arriving
in our fair city, Avas nothing but a
bunch of skin and bone from the tide
water section of North Carolina. He
had been a member of the old southern
aristocracy who “tea-ed” in the after
noon and lived on crackers and water.
At present and ever since his school
teaching occupation was begun, he is,
and has been a natural jolly old rascal
of round proportions. His is a work
less exis'tence. He is envied from one
end of “campus” to the other.
■When Miss Mary Wheeler first came
to G. H. S., we even feared for her
life. Now her width exceeds even her
pulchritude.
Look around you—^there are other
illustrations of this astounding ease of
a school teacher’s life.
Minutes are to hours what pennies
are to dollars—and he who saves both
wins.—World Heirs.
