Our staid and business-like room has been trans formed into a Bohemian art studio, and anyone venturing into the sacred precincts has been seized and donated a paint brush, and aften under protest forced to dab around in an ocean of colors. Such has been the effect on the staff, on receiving the honor of being publicity committee for the Circus. JAMESON TALKS TO COMMERCIAL STUDENTS Practical Subjects Require As Much Brainwork as Latin or Math, Says Mr. Jameson BUSINESS PREPARES ONE FOR LIFE J. M. Jameson, a representative of the Southwestern Publishing Company, talked Tuesday, December 6th, to the commercial students of Greensboro High School. During his talk Mr. Jameson showed the great opportunities offered by the commercial departments in high schools. “These subjects,” said Mr. Jameson, “require as much exercise of the brain as Latin and math. Students do not seem to realize how much these commercial courses help in preparing for one’s life work. I am afraid, if we were left to care for ourselves by solving algebra or translating Latin, some of us would starve.” THE GIRL SCOUTS GET READY FOR CHRISTMAS The Girl Scouts of Greensboro are already busy getting ready for Christ mas. They are dressing dolls for the poor children of the city. They have also made red stockings to fill for the empty stockings fund. They will fill them at W. I. Anderson’s wholesale house as they diid-Jast year. • Last year the girls made wreaths to decorate the “white way” on Main street. This year they are making wreaths again. Now, children, go home and dust off the dictionary and look up that com- bustigation. ^jOmAlcrnJ C. H.

S.”—Many Students Present The Greensboro High school football team was the guest of the National theater Monday night, December 5. They sat in boxes at the request of the manager. As it was a special high school night many pupils were also present. The feature picture was “The College Widow,” with Dolores Costello as the leading lady. “Collegians” was the added feature, which was also a college picture. Besides some other songs the organist played “We’ve Got the Spirit of G. H. S.,” and the students showed how much spirit they had by singing it for the team. At the end of the picture Dr. John H. Cooke made a talk boosting the team. “The football team of Greens boro High School is the best it has ever had,” stated Mr. Cooke. After his speech Clarence Phoenix, the high school cheer leader le^^the audience in several yells for the team. WHAT IS MATH? “Friends, Romans, countrymen. Math is a bore.” This is what Mark Antony should have told the Romans. A famous philosopher once said: “If you ‘X’ me a math problem. I’ll “A”che all over, ‘B’ an angel, and ‘C’ stars.” Algebra is a pastime by which little boys are kept up until the “wee sma’ hours” of the night. Geometry is nothing but a collection of lop-sided figures that grin at you when you try to place them right. Trigonometry is a collection of rifle triggers, gun-holes, smoke, and disabled .cannon-balls. Quoting again my friend, Mark An tony, I say: “My mind is in the house doing Math, and I must pause till it comes back to me.” Schiffman's GREENSBORO COLLEGE Greensboro College is a mem ber of the Association of Col leges and Secondary Schools of the Southern States.
