Ned IJpscomb had on knee breeches and a very small head gear; however, he soon decided that he wasn’t as hand some as usual, so home he went and changed his outfit. Several other boys had short pants and blouses on, and they behaved as becomes a ten-year-old.

COLLEGE PAPERS CHOOSE NEW PRESIDENT MAY 7 Wednesday, May 18, the Greensboro High School Debating Club held its annual initiation ceremony. This year the affair, which has heretofore taken the form of a banquet, was changed to a picnic. Probably some three dozen persons, including members of the club, their guests, and the faculty advisers, attended. The picnic, held at the Doug las cabin on the Battleground road, be gan about five in the afternoon and broke up near ten. At this time, all members who have been taken into the club since the ini tiation banquet last spring were duly introduced to the secret solemnities of the organization, wTiich is, nevertheless, not of a fraternal nature. The substitution of a picnic for a banquet does not signify that such wfill always be the case, this being optional with the members. This is the last of the three entertainments held annually by the Debating Club, and among De bating Club functions ranks second in importance to the Triangular Debate Banquet.
