Johnson to Enforce
Lunch Room Rules
“Students who l)reak in line will have
a hard time doing’ so this semester, for
Stanley Johnson, physics teacher, will
he in the cafeteria both Innch periods
to see that the students wait their
turn in getting their Innch,” stated Miss
Elizabeth llarvell, school dietitian,
yesterday.
Miss llarvell declared: “The Innch
room will be nin on the same basis
that it was last semester, bnt the cold
Innch connter will not be continned.
I gave the connter a two-weeks trial,
hoping that it would eliminate some of
the confnsion in the Innch room, bnt
it did not. In addition, the students
did not get the hob Innches they need.”
Miss Harvell said that a great deal
of silver is missing from the Innch
room since school began last fall. She
stated that she had the garbage checked
each day to see that none went ont
that way, and asked that stndents be
more carefnl in this matter.
Girl Scouts Begin Courses
In National Defense Work
For the first time in 20 years, the
girl scouts of Greensboro and Gnilford
county have been challenged to nse
their well-known motto, “Be Pi-epared,”
by showing that they are prepared to
take an active part in national de
fense work.
Thronghont the state, troop leaders
are having meetings to discuss the part
that girls can play in defending their
nation.
First of all, the scouts will learn,
and in turn teach, individual health
and safety. Next comes a course in
home making and the conservation of
food. Also offered will be courses in
child care, first aid, and better knowl
edge of the community.
Music (lass Begins Work
On Operetta for Next Fall
“Pirates of Penzance,” one of Gilbert
and Sullivan’s most colorful operettas,
will be presented by the music depart
ment next fall, Ilaymond .Brietz, di
rector, stated this week.
Members of me .pmior class will
portray the nia.ior roles and compose
the chorus. Costumes and scenery will
be furnished by the Boston Theatrical
Supply CO.
The operetta contains two acts and
12 speaking parts.
Seven New Students
Join D. E. Program
Bringing the total membership of
the class to 17 students, seven new
pupils .ioined the distributive educa
tion program this semester. Alvis S.
Proctor, adviser, announced this week.
The new student workers are Laura
May Ingram, Evelyn Davis, Nellie
Kanoy, Bob Boaz, Ralph Kay, Eugene
Ivey and Leo Showfety. These stu
dents have been placed on local .iobs
and will serve as part-time students,
Mr. Proctor said.
Three former distributive education
stxidents, Ben Richardson, .Toe Kelly
and Clifford Adams, who graduated in
January, have secured permanent work
at Meyer’s department store, where
they worked during the fall semester
in connection with the distributive
education class.
Would You Guess it!
Since physical education is such a
far cry from staid girls customary
schedules at Senior high, a High Life
reporter peeped through a crack in the
wall to spy upon the agony that was
expected after three days of the newly-
recpiired sub.iect.
AVhat’s this? Instead of long, grouchy
faces she saw a flying ring of toes
skip to the old .iingle, “I’op Goes the
IVeasel!” As dignitary, flirt, scholar,
wit and cocpiette whirled by. Miss
Doris Ilutcbinson, their director, pilot
ed them into a winding spiral, then
unwound the chain with breathtaking
speed.
Meanwhile, fingers strained to retain
their grip, hearty laughs echoed
through the gym, but turned into ga.sps
for air as the dash continued. A whis
tle blew. The trample of feet was hush
ed, as all the crimson-faced girls fought
to regain, their breath and their poise.
As all the panting girls grinned at
each other over their common plight,
physical exertion proved to be the lat
est popular pastime.

IVhen the M’oman’s College Play-
likers present the opening play of their
spring season, “Lady Precious Stream,”
’38 graduate, Mary Frances Cox, will
take the part of Silver Stream.
By SHANNON SCIIPMANN
As their first production of the year,
Playmasters, Senior high dramatic so
ciety, i)resented “Second Fiddle” in the
school auditorium, Friday night, Jan
uary 30. The play, a, fast-moving com
edy, brought laughs and much applause
from the appreciative audience.
Virginia LIunter, in her role as “Min
nie,” gave a realistic ix^rformance. The,
fact that Virginia’s true personality is
so different from her role proved her
success in portraying the role of the
clever, “not-thinklng-before-she-spoke”
Minnie.
Bob Perry, cast in the male lead,
also turned in a fine performance. An
old hand at the game. Perry went from
scene to scene with confidence and tal
ent. He did a commendable job of
presenting "falls” and “lines” that were
not in the script bixt which added en
tertainment to the plot.
Substitutes for Bond
Substitutin,g at the last moment for
Barbara Bond in the role of Dorothy
Van Straaten, .loyce Pope turned in a
good job in her portrayal of Harold
Werple’s rich: young fiancee.
Sheila Kaplan and Alice Trosper,
both still rather new to the stage,
should be praised for their part in
making the play a success.
Mervine Merritt as 'Wilbur, the slow-
moving butler, was responsible for a
number of the audience’s laughs be-
caxxse of his slow, fun-provoking speech
and sleepy, ruddy-cheeked appearance.
Another newcomer to the stage, ,Iean
Dinwiddle, did a good piece of work in
her role of .Janet.
Since the play as a whole flowed
smoothly from laugh to laugh, one knew
that behind the production was much
hard technical work. A fine presenta-
; tion of teamwork , was displayed, and
cooperation seemed to be the basic as
set responsible for the fast pace of the
performance.
According to word received this
week from Superiuteudent Ben L.
Smith, occupants of the new’ .$60,-
000 vocational building will move
into their new (juarters on or be
fore March I,*).
All materials necessary for the
completion of the structure have
been secured, and no immediate
shortage is expected to hinder the
workmen. The only real hindrance
to progress on the building has
been bad weather, Smith said.
State District Music Contest
To Feature Piano Clinics
This year, for the first time, piano
clinics will be held in each district of
the North Carolina high school music
contest and festival, according to Mark
Hofl’man. head of the Greensboro music
department and district chairman. This
addition is in keeping with the feeling
among teachers that such clinics pro
vide a great opportunity for raising
standards of performance and teaching.
In this part of the state, Greensboro,
High 1‘oint and Winston-Salem lie in
the Winston-Salem district. 'I’he clinic
for this district will be held at the
High Point Senior high school audito
rium fVednesday, February 18, under
the direction of Mrs. Sidney Gayle, of
High Point.
