JUDGE OF JUVENILE
COURT LECTURES AT
LAST P. L A. MEETING
Judge York Is a Former Facul
ty Member of G. H. S. and
Is Graduate of Harvard
ILLUSTRATIONS GIVEN
“If Civic Organizations of Greensboro
Will Support this Court, No Better
Work Can Be Done,” He Stated
Judge W. M. York, of the juvenile
court, talked to the Parent-Teacher
Association Tuesday night, March G, on
the work of the court.
Judge York, a former member of the
faculty, studied law at Harvard after
graduating from the University of
North Carolina. He accepted a position
as boy worker of the Juvenile court in
1924, and was later made judge.
In telling of the work of the juvenile
court he said, “It is of so confidential
a nature that it cannot be published.
To my mind the papers render an in
valuable service by helping to keep it
secret.”
To prove his statement Mr. York
gave the history of several cases han
dled by the court, omitting only the
names of the delinquents.
“I believe that if the civic organiza
tions of Greensboro will support the
juvenile court, no better work can be
done,” said Mr. York in conclusion.
According to Mr. York, the juvenile
court took its beginning in America.
The first one in North Carolina was
established in 1919. Greensboro has
had a juvenile court since 1924, but the
systme now in operation was estab
lished July 1, 1927, with five workers.
In order to remove the fears some of
the children have of policemen, the
workers are called commissioners.
MISS KATHERINE DENNIS
PLEASED WITH CLASSES
h
Two Period Sewing Classes Under Su
pervision of N. C. C. W.—Gives
One Point Credit
TWO DRESSES MADE BY STUDENTS
Miss Katherine Dennis, teacher in
Home Economics at G. H. S., states
that she is pleased with the Home Eco
nomics desses which she teaches.
Classes in Clothing I receive pne-half
credit each semester and spend 50 min
utes a day in the clothing course. Many
of these classes are under the super
vision of N. C. C. M"., especially those
taught by Miss Viva Playfoot and Miss
Dennis.
In the beginning of Clothing I, the
girls know very little about sewing. The
beginners study the simple technique
of pattern study and are allowed to
work on cotton and linen materials.
Two dresses must be made by each girl
before the close of the semester. The
sewing classes are limited to sixteen
girls as each needs individual atten
tion.
Clothing II is a continuation of the
previous course. Requirements for this
course are more difficult, as three
dresses, one a child’s dress, must be
completed during the semester. In this
course the girls work on silk and wool.
A high school girl’s budget is also
worked out.
M"ith between 75 and 100 Greensboro
High alumni numbered among the
over 2,800 enrolled in the university,
the Gate City High is well represented
on the Hill this year. Probably as
many outstanding men on the campus
are included in the Greensboro dele
gation as in those of any other cities
in the state.
Several ex-wearers of the Purple and
Gold are gathering considerable fame
to themselves in athletics. Jim Mans
and Nap Lufty, both sophomores, are
putting forth strong bids for berths on
the varsity baseball team. Jim is
slated for the catcher's assignment,
while Nap is going to give “Bear”
Webb, last year’s third baseman, a
strong run for his money for the hot
corner position. Billy Yanstory scin
tillated on the varsity basketball team
for his second season. Billy is a
senior. In football, Charlie Lipscomb
got into several games at guard. His
freshman brother, Ned, starred at cen
ter on the strong freshman team, while
Pete 'Wyrick and Phil Shelton also got
into a number of games as Ned’s
team mates. Ned has been showing up
unusually well in the winter practice
season, which closed last Saturday.
Bill “Plug” Homey will probably be
seen among the varsity track men this
year. Voige Gardner was elected cap
tain of the wrestling team at the close
of the season last year, but his work
in the med school prevented him from
appearing on the mat this season.
Harold Davis was manager of the mat-
men this year. Caesar Cone made the
tennis team for the second time.
In the publications field, former
Greensboro Plighites are also making
their mark. Bill Neal is business man
ager of the Tar Heel, “the south’s lead
ing collegiate tri-weekly,” while Guy
Hill is collection manager and John
Mebane and Glenn Holder are mem
bers of the reportorial staff. Guy may
be a candidate for the business man
ager’s job and John and Glenn for
managing editorships or the columnist
berth in the spring elections. John is
also a member of the staff of the Buc
caneer, the only college comic magazine
in the state.
Though Miss Wheeler claims to be
the particular protege of the mighty
juniors, we hope that they will not
raise objection to our including a para
graph of best wishes to her, in our
issue of High Life. From some of her
correspondents we learn, with regret,
that Miss Wheeler is not improving
very rapidly. We should like to send
our best wishes down to the Georgia
Peach country, where she has gone in
search of health.
Miss Alice Daw substituted for Miss
Jo Causey for several days while Miss
Causey was not able to be in school.

“The Mikado,” an opera by Gilbert
and Sullivan, will be presented by the
Glee Club of Greensboro High School.
The opera is being planned for near
May 30 at the National theatre.
Last year a similar opera was given
with great success, and even better is
hoped for this year.
Mr. Miller, the music leader, will
have charge of the singing, while
Louise Thacker and Mr. Joe Johnson
will have charge of staging and
chorus work. Louise, Ylr. Miller, and
Mr. Johnson had great success with
last year’s opera, and also with the
“Purple and Gold Review,” so the
school should feel very fortunate in
having them.
The work on the opera is now in
full swing, and will soon be ready for
Mr. Phillips and Miss Mitchell to pass
their opinions upon the work.
At the present two characters are
being chosen for the parts in order
that the students may receive more
training. Besides principal characters
and choruses there will be lots of
dancing full of pep and lovely music.

FRESHMAN ENGLISH CLASS
GETS NEWS FROM CALIF-
Esther Hobson Tells of Her Own School
and Asks About Greensboro
High School
IS INTERESTED IN GREENSBORO
A letter from Esther Hobson, a mem
ber of freshman English class of the
Shasta Union High School, was re
ceived by a freshman English class of
G. H. S. February 28. Esther, who
lives in Redding, Calif., told of her
own high school and asked for informa
tion about ours. The Shasta Union
High School is of Moorish architecture
with many rooms for the different sub
jects and a large assembly. Esther
next described the shop and the gym
nasium and concluded with the names
of three one-act plays which were re
cently given at the Shasta High School.
They are: “The Maker of Dreams,” “A
Night at an Inn,” and “Petticoat
Perfidy.”
This letter has been answered by the
members of Mrs. Mary Ashford’s Eng
lish 1 class. These freshmen in their
letter decribe the Greensboro High
School building and tell many interest
ing facts about the high school students.
Pomona
The most marvelous show on earth,
Clemen's Marionettes and Puppets, will
appear at Pomona some time in March
in a performance entitled “Hansel and
Gretel.” These puppets are operated
by string which make them walk,
dance, sleep, cry, eat, and all the other
various actions of a real person. They
are skilfully operated from behind the
stage and carrying out the story, “Plan-
sel and Gretel’’—just as human actors
might do.
Gollup ; Gollup! Gollup! Listen to
the little children chewing soup. Lick!
Lick ! Lick ! Hear the future postage
stamp lickers eating their cold ice
cream.
Crunch ! Crunch! Crunch ! All the
little “nuts,” eating nuts, and all the
future little soldiers eating kernels,
colonels kernels, to a measured time,
in a sort of rhunic rhyme to the dang
ling, and the clanging of the bells, the
poor, worn-out dinner bells who clang,
clang to the golluping of the soup, the
licking of the cream, and the crunch,
crunch, crunch of the nuts, in the cafe
teria.
Aycock
An athletic meet will be held at
Aycock some time during the next
month. The students of each room
have been divided into two groups, the
army and the navy, or the reds and the
blues. There is much rivalry between
these two teams, and many yells have
been made, cheer leaders appointed,
and all are looking forward with in
terest to the finals of the meet.
The next issue of the Aycock-a-Doo-
dle-Doo will come out in the next few
weeks. This issue covers the news of
the school, being arranged under such
heads as “Town Topics,” “Tid-Bits,”
“Poet’s Corner,” “Short Stories,” and
“School News.”
Mclver
Joe Dees, a member of the Mclver
School, is editor of The Broadcaster,
the new Mclver paper, which made its
first appearance in Greensboro on
Thursday, March 1. This paper is
published by the members of the Mc
lver Street School and breathes the
spirit of athletic encounters and school
news.
The paper consists of four pages
with three columns to each page.

habited planet; Mars, and theories
about life on the red planet; Jupiter,
the largest of the planets; Saturn, with
its beautiful rings; Uranus, and its

(Medieval Epistle of St. Patrick)
Bonny St. George for England and
Bonny St. Patrick for Ireland! The
seventeenth of March has come, and
with a shout of joy, ole Saint Patrick
his long robes flying, jumps from out
the briny deep and, brandishing his
scrawny arms skyward, shouts, “Hey,
ye wee bairns, turn back the clock; it’s
ole St. Patrick’s day.”
“Lawsa me,” he cries, “I’m hidden
in the misty pass’d, I and I’land. Ten
thousand leagues below the sea I lived
until Marsh the seventeenth. Then
grabbing up my toothbrush, I tell my
‘Pa’ L’ll do a ‘trick,’ and with my I’s
I’ng the shore, I watch the foam foam
ing and shout ‘Three in one!’ ”
The Creative English class recently
introduced at G. H. S., according to
Miss Laura Tillett, teacher of the
course, is progressing rapidly.
The first subject given the 20 stu
dents of the class was “The Real Me.”
This topic was developed in interesting
sketches, poems, and dialogues. On
February 2, sentences were formed
from a subject and verb, as “knigbt
galloped.” On one occasion themes
were written which conveyed a picture
of “cold.” The topic which perhaps
resulted in best work was “Romances
of the Old South.” Several times
pupils have brought their favorite
poetry to class and discussed it. Poetry
written by today’s writers has been
read on class. Alfred Noyes’ work
was studied and his style of writing
tried by the class. “Some excellent
work resulted from this,” Miss Tillett
said.
One of the most interesting topics
resulted from the finding of a little
pink handkerchief which was found in
the room and later lost to be found
again.
Limericks, short stories, sketches,
and poetry have been successfully at
tempted. Some unusual ballads have
been written by members of the class.
Quite often some member of the class
has been chosen to take charge of the
discussion.
During the next month several in
teresting projects are to be developed.
Chief among these is the “publishing’’
of a magazine, probably a “Homespun,
Jr.,” by each member of the class. A
collection of ballads recently written is
to be edited by a member of the class
who was elected by the students.
Miss Tillett says, “I am pleased with
the work done by this class, and I
believe there are many others in the
high school who should be taking this
course.”
