‘‘Turn ha(;kvvard, turn backward, o
time in your flislit — ” Tlnimbing
tbrousli the files of IliKb lafo is tsjnal
to turning back the school calendar
many years. A satisfying remedy for
any curiosity as to what students were
doing ten years ago lies in the yellow
ed stacks of newspapers of years gone
by kept by the staff. What were the
boys and girls of Greensboro doing a
decade ago?
Hack in Carl Jeffress, now man
ager of the Daily News, was editor of
High Life, which then had a subscrip
tion price of bOc for outsiders, 25c
for students. In the first issue of that
year, Septemher K>, the front page told
of Miss Estelle Mitchell’s vacation
tour in Europe, of Miss Henri Etta
Lee’s art work at Columbia university
during the summer, and of the many
students coming back to resume their
studies.
Geniian Taught
Special emphasis was placed at that
time on such subjects as Latin VII
and A'lll. German (then taught by the
prt'stmt history tutor, Mi's. Blanche
Smith) and boys’ courses in home eco
nomics. At that time, tln^ sciiool boast
ed a larger (mrollment than that of
the two high schools in Kaieigh, as
vouched by an importee fi'om the capi
tal city. The advertising sections pic
tured ads by the same merchants who
now patronize the local journal — the
Criterion theatre announced movies,
‘hen cents, any day, any time,” Van-
story’s wanted to sell boys’ knickers,
Krt'ss, 80 sheets of theme paper for five
cents.
During the thirties, boys were at
tending AVoman’s college, which in
those days was known as North Caro
lina College for AA^omen. Some of the
other item.s gleaned from the old tiles

musical department was planning an
oiKU'ctta, C. AAL Phillips was principal,
A. P. liouth, athletic coach, the sopho
mores held socials, 71 students gradu
ated at mid-term, and everyone was
commenting on the architectural pat
tern of the school buildings, just re
cently completed.
Depression Then
In the editorials, features, and spe
cial stories, there is little difference
in the school of 1932 and now. Students
lost library books, were welcomed to
the school, were wished the best upon
graduiition, were interested more in
their football team than their scholas
tic activities, the editorials point out.
The only difference in the school, stu
dents, and newspaper of a decade ago
is the world situation: the class of ’32
had a depression; the class of ’42, war.
The students come and go, but the
school and its problems remain the
same.
