VERY ACTIVE DURING
MARCH
Unusual Interest for Boys
Shown Throughout City.
Much Good Done
NEW RECORD IS MADE
Mr. Wiener Getting Everything Ready
For Boys Camp Site—Is Planned
in Rockingham County
Sixty-two new members in the boys’
department for the month of March is
the record at the local Y. M. C. A., ac
cording to the report of E. D. Yost, sec
retary. More than 8,000 boys used the
privileges of the Y. M. C. A. during the
first three months of the year.
In March a total of 531 boys met in
41 different club meetings, compared
to 340 boys in 30 meetings in February.
The Hi-Y clubs held 20 meetings, dur
ing the month, with an attendance of
284 boys.
Mr. Yost says that unusual interest is
being shown throughout the city in the
work for the boys. The association j
officials hope that the Y. M. C. A. will '
become the headquarters for all agen
cies and organizations dealing with
youth. Much has been accomplished in
this line for the past month. The
equipment is adequate for any program
desired, and it is believed that the as
sociation stands in a most strategic po
sition to render this service.
Mr. E. D. Weiner, the boys’ work sec
retary, is lining up his boys for camp.
A site has been secured in Rockingham,
county for this season. It is thought
that many boys will attend the camp
under the leadership of Mr. Weiner and
his co-workers.

ing produced by standardization of edu
cation,” the Council of the American

neering is not in favmr of setting up
an approAmd list, of chemical engineer
ing schools.” He declared also, that
such a list was bound to result in dis
cord, personal animosities, and worst of
all have a tendency to stifle individual
initiative, and standardize the teaching
of chemical engineering through out the
country.
Choosing as his subject, “Practicing
Evangelism by Friendship,” Reverend
Dwight Chalmers, from the Church by
the Side of the Road, spoke in chapel,
Tuesday, April 19. After reading a few

dren to live in a way that Avould influ
ence their friends to live for Christ.

The third annual Gold Book day
was celebrated by the students of
Greensboro College at a special chapel
exercise on Monday, April 11, at nine
o’clock. At this time the girls who had
made a record for scholarship and
good conduct signed the book and re
ceived privileges accompanying this
honor. The book is called “Gold Book”
because it represents truth, utility,
beauty, and permanence, all of which
are found in gold. Each girl pledges
to follow these ideals as she signs her
name. Miss Elba Hennenger, of the
department of English spoke on “What
the Gold Book Should Mean to Us as

A funny little man told this to me:
I fell into a snowdrift in June, said he,
I saw jellyfish float up a tree
I found some gum in a cup of tea.
I stirred my milk with a big brass key,
I opened my door on my bended knee.
I beg ypur pardon for this, said her.

For it only Jieeds punctuation, as you

Semester six juniors had a short class
meeting April 13 at chapel period to
discuss a few things in connection with
the famous frolic they are giving.
Dick Douglas, president, called the
meeting to order, then turned it over
to Miss Mary Wheeler, the faculty ad
visor. She told of ways of advertis

that of having juniors dressed in cos
tume ride down main street in a wagon
drawn by a horse.
There was a discussion as to what
kind of drinks were to be sold at the
frolic. Finally bottled drinks and pink
lemonade were decided upon, and the
meeting was adjourned.
Never kiss a girl and tell the world

Catastrophe
As I stepped across the threshold

Lead me to the dirty villian
Who left soap upon the floor.

IT’S SOME JOB
Getting out a school paper is no pic
nic.
If we print jokes, folks say we are
silly.
If we dont, they say we are too se
rious.
If we publish original matter they
say we lack variety.
If we publish things from other
papers, we are too lazy to write.
If we stay on the job we ought to be
out rustling news.
If we are out rustling news we are
not attending to business in our own
department.
If we don’t print contributions, we
don’t show proper appreciation.
Like as not some fellow will say we
swiped this from another paper.
So we did.—^ilfarooa and White, Get
