Prize-Winning Essay
Captures Sdielarship
For J. H. Hattaway
“What the Greensboro Fair Means
to this Community” was the subject ot
the prize-winning essay for which Her
bert Hattaway will receive a $150
scholarship to the International Cor
respondence school.
Hattaway, circulation manager for
“High Life” and ex-student council rep
resentative, wrote the essay as an as
signment in Miss jMozelle Causey’s sec
ond period English class and entered
his paper in the local fair contest. Jane
Morrison, member of the same group,
received second place in the judging,
although no award was given for honor
able mention. According to Principal
A. 1*. Ilouth, 36 papers from Senior
high were entered in the competition.
To Be Annual Event
T. L. Davis, local manager for the
I. C. S., served as chairman for the
contest committee and supervised the
judging. Norman Y. Chambliss, director
of the Greensboro Fair association, or
iginated the idea of awarding a scholar
ship as an incentive to literary-minded
high-school students in Guilford county.
According to Chamblis, the contest will
be an annual event of the local fair.
At present, Hattaway has not selected
the course in which he will study. How
ever, he said this morning that he was
considering radio. He will graduate in
June.
All’s Fair in Love, War...
And Writing a Term Paper
“Lock all doors, bolt all windows,
nail all chairs and tables to the floor :
they’re here again!”
That is the current warning issired
to the patient workers at the public
library regarding the horde of students
that infest that institution from Octo
ber to May : terni-ites—beg pardon,—
terni-paper-ites.
Toward the end of September a few
lads and lassies wander through these
magic portals, the doors to learning—
in an effort to avoid the rush, and take
their notes early. But by the middle
of October, the invasion is in full force
with the mass army maneuvers being-
directed V.y the mighty heads of the
history and Fnglish departments.
However, Greensboro’s library cus
todians offer little resistance to the
occupation of their once peaceful do
main. They smile wanly, bring out
their lists of available information, and
resign themselves to another crop of
grav hairs—all for the sake of learn-
