u
Why Students Fail” Is Chief
Topic of Discussion—No Defi
nite Conclusions Reached
COMMITTEES APPOINTED
At the annual meeting of the mem
bers of the State Association of High
School Principals, held at Charlotte
Friday and Saturday, February 18 and
19, the subject of “Why Students Fail”
was chief among the discussions of the
conference The entire meeting on
Friday was devoted to the considera
tion of this topic. No definite conclu
sions were reached. However, it was
generally agreed that most failures are
caused not by lack of ability, but by
the students not being properly placed
in the classes.
Dr. E. Garringer, of Charlotte High
School, presided over the meetings.
The membership included the princi
pals of the eighteen double A-1 high
schools in this state. The conference
elected Mr. L. R. Johnson, of Fligh
Point, president, for the next year and
appointed Mr. L. H. Edwards, of Ashe
ville, and Dr. Garringer, of Charlottefi
to aid in the preparation of next year’s
program at High Point.
The conference appointed several
committees to study the question of
failures and to make reports at the
next meeting. It was also requested
that each principal present study indi
vidual cases and report his findings
at the next conference.
Dr. J. H. Highsmith, State School
Inspector, and Dr. M. R. Trabue, of
Carolina, spoke on various phases of
educational work. The subject of vo
cational training came in for a large
share of discussion.
State athletic eliminiation contests
were discussed. A committee was
named to study the question of sports
and make a report at a future meeting.
It was suggested that the present sys
tem is not advisable as it throws un
necessary financial strain upon the
community. Mr. C. W. Phillips was
appointed a member of this commit
tee.

“The Rehearsal,” a Short Skit Preceded
Main Play—Lily McLees Takes
Leading Role
Tuesday night, February 22, at Ay-
codi School, the public speaking de
partment presented its contest play,
“The Valiant.” Preceding the play,
members of the public speaking de
partment gave a short skit called “The
Rehearsal,” which was a play within
a play, and depicted the absurdity of
amateur rehearsals. Lily McLees was
^•ery good in the part of the old Irish
father.
“The Valiant” is a one-act play by
Middlemass and Hall. It requires a
great amount of acting and feeling on
the part of the actors, and was pre
sented with such Tuesday night.
The acting of Leon Wells as the
young criminal was excellent, as was
that of Hilda Davidson, the girl.
The parts of the warden and Father
Daly were well portrayed by Charles
McLees and Herbert Jones. The pre
sentation is one of the best, if not the
best, given by the high school this year.
The cast of characters was as fol
lows : The Warden, Charles McLees;
Father Daly, Herbert Jones; James
Duke, Leon Wells; The Girl, Hilda Da
vidson ; The Jailer, Ernest Scarboro;
The Attendant, Joe Mann.

This “IT”
By G. Todd
IlaAm you got “it?”
The jmung college graduate of the
present day isn’t asked if his “old
man” made an honest living, or if there
Avas insanity in the family before he
came along, but on the aboAm question
depends his future. If he hasn’t got
“it,” he is lost, and his ambitious limit
is reduced to the realization of a good
second-class ditch-digger’s job.
The young girl without “it” might
prepare at once for a house full of
cats, parrots and spectacle-cases, for
“it’s” all against her.
In her book, “It,” Madame Glyn has
AA'ell defined “it.” She says, “ Tt’ is the
third person singular neuter pronoun.”
Hoaa’ true. It could not have been more
truly and aptly described by George
’iVashington himself, so soon after his
birthday, AA'hich, by the Avay, comes
on a holiday.
It is being said around that some
girls haA’e “it,” and all the girls hope
they have “it.” As for me, gWe me
“it” or give me something else. That’s
hoAV I feel about “it,” because I’m no
girl AA"ho must depend on “It.”
The npanager of a ten-cent stqre
rushed out of his red “dime-snatcher”
the other morning and, accosting a
beautiful girl, said, “Did you get ‘it’ ”
“Oh, yes, I’Am had “it” for some
time,” she replied, shoAAung her igno
rance, because the manager had her ar
rested for shoplifting a rolling-pin.
The judge, hoAvever, let her go be
cause he could see that she had “it,”
and therefore AA'Ouldn’t have stolen it
for the AAmrld.
“HaA'e you got ‘it?’” I asked a lady
school-teacher.
“No,” she replied, “but I’m doing bet
ter Avith my correspondence course with
‘it’ ”
An old bachelor AAms asked, “Is it
that you don’t loA'e the girls?”
“Oh, no, ‘it’ is that I do loAm the
girls.”
And so “it” is that I’m almost ripe
for a padded cell. And I’ll haA’e cell
mates to share “it,” too, let me tell
you.
George ’Washington’s definition was:
It is time for action.

Subject of Talks by Stu
dents of Room 3
Is
HIS LIFE IS REVIEWED
Nation’s First President Not a Brilliant
Student—Was Human as All Others.
Was a Very Modest Man
George Washington, the real man,
was the theme of the chapel program
Tuesday, February 22. Room 3 had
charge of the program. Ethel William
son, chairman, said “We are going to
attempt to show the real George Wash
ington, the human being that he Avas.”
Billy Horton told about the small
boy. He said that Washington Avas
not a good English student, and that
all through life he had someone else
to write his letters. He mentioned the
fact that Washington Avas very modest.
“Washington loved Mount Vernon so
much that he Avas never quite happy
AA’hile he was away. He loved to dance
and did not stop until he was sixty
years old. In spite of the fact, Wash
ington AA’as very courteous to all people,
he enjoyed a good joke or funny story
on anyone. Sometimes he laughed al
most uproariously,” said Camille Ellis
in her talk on “ Washington, the Man.”
Llazel Rawlins shoAved a picture of
Washington as we generally think of
him. Stuart painted this picture.
