HIGH LIFE
226 Students Worked
During Yule Holiday,
Says Adviser Proctor
One would think that the pupils at
Greensboro hish school don’t get
enough work during regular school
days, for according to a report made
last Friday by A. S. Proctor, distribu
tive education adviser, approximately
22G students put in hundreds of hours
of manual labor in various local stores
during the Christmas holidays.
The average worker received •‘f.20 per
hour during his time of employment.
Some worked as sales clerks, others
as shipping clerks, and still others
iabored as package wrappers, mailing
clerks and mail carriers.
Woolwordi’s Employed Most
Woolworth’s, with .“Id students on its
payroll, boasts of employing the most
high schoolers, while Meyer’s, with 21,
gave ,iobs to the second largest number.
Although all the temporary em
ployees concede that it was hard work,
the great ma.iority thought it was a lot
of fun, and they found more' than
ample compensation in their pay
checks.
ISIany students will have part time
.iobs as a result of their Christmas
work.
The following chart shows the num
ber of students employed by each
store.
Woolworths, .13; Meyers, 21 ; Kress,
20; Silvers, 13: Belk’s, 1.3: Grants, 13;
Big Star, 4; Yanstory. 4; Post office,
2: A. & P„ 3; Guilford Dairy, 5.
There were a large number of busi
nesses that used only one or two stu
dents ; therefore they have not listed
each place individually. Approrimately
150 of these 220 students have regular
part time .iobs.

AYith the call to home defense ever
growing louder, the week of .Tanuary
11 has been set aside as Victory Book
week. The purpose is to supidy the
army camp libraries with books for
the fighting men of this nation.
“This is one of a few things we can
do to help our country,” declared Miss
Agnes McDonald, who is heading this
work at Senior high. Stating that Ac
tion and detective stories are the most
popular in the ranks, she urged all stu
dents to bring from their homes as
many of the books, no longer being
used, as possible.
These books can either be brought to
the school or taken to the public li
brary with the following note written
on the Ay leaf of each one : Donated
by , Greensboro Senior high
school.
Herbert Ilucks, who will report for
army duty shortly, requests that all
books be turned in to the book room as
soon as possible.

^^How To Be An Army Officer^^
The word defense is on the lips of
ever.vono in America today. AA’ays and
means of protecting our nation are be
ing discussed and followed. Tires,
among other articles, have been ra
tioned, and more G. 11. S. students will
walk to and from their destinations
in this time of war. But if you are
smart you will take your bicycle to the
AIcIA'ER LOCK COAIPANY and let
them repair it for your use in the
future when America will go almost
“earless,” or buy a new one from
AVESTERN AUTO STORES.
Have you .seen .lean Lowe wearing
her adorable new plaid suit from
BROAA'NIIILL’S? It’s the last word in
style, as are the lovely sweaters in
pastel shades, new long-sleeved jersey
blouses, and charming dickies which
can be purchased at this well-known
fashion center.
Orange Given to Royalty as Gift
A member of royalty in England re

was more thrilled with this gift than
any other. Oranges are a scarcity in
that country today. AA’e still have this
fruit here in America, and the best
place in town to get fresh orange juice
is KILL'S NEAA’S STAND across from
the STATE THEATRE. There, too,
you will And the latest magazines, com
ic books, and pocket book novels.
Even though Christmas is gone, there
are still presents to be boiyght for occa
sions STich as birthdays, anniversaries,
and showers. ELAAI DRT’G COAIPANY
has a lovely selection of Coty, Alax Fac
tor. and IludiuTt gift sets at reason
able prices. They can also offer PIol-
lingsworth and AA’hitman candies,
Sheaffer pen and pencil sets, not to
