Brownhill's Favored
For NewesI Styles
Spring Election Dates
Announced By Stoffel
Highlights in the field of fashion this
week are the unusual and gorgeous
clothes found at Brownhill's. The dis
tinct characteristics of Brownhill’s
creations are found in the smart, chic
tailored or feminine styles worn by
many devoted customers from high
school. For instance, look at some of
Joan Ilollyman’s smart spring dresses
that always look so neat, and you will
j)e sure to find a Brownhill’s label in
the dress.
Speaking of dresses, you should see
some of the beautiful silks and silk
jerseys of large tropical prints in flat
tering styles. One particidaiTy out
standing creation is made in spun
rayon of eopen blue into a two-piece
swing skirt and torso style jacket ^vith
a large appli(iued flower of red and
yellow at the waist. A very outstand
ing outfit for ii?14.98.
Another ensemble worth some atten
tion is a pink flowered pique with a
blue pinafore and the apron inserted
in the shape of a full swing skirt!
This is also Jfl4.98.
Spring Dresses Are Very Popular
A very unusual, yet unique, dress
creation is one of a red and green
flower design in i)ique with a smart
apron of dark green sowed onto the
skirt; it is fitted in at the w'aist and
bloused at the top. The only dress of
its kind and it is priced at $14.98.
Other dresses made of chambray,
silk, cotton, silk jersey, spun rayon
and seersucker are designed into
smart, chic spring costumes! All pas
tel shades and bright colors are used
and the popular tailored styles are
used in making these numbers, which
are priced from $5.98 up to $14.98.
The ideal "heaven on earth” for a
normal high school girl would be an
afternoon of shopping in the sweater
and skirt department at Brownhill’s,
where so many of the new spring
plaids are found' You might find Ann
Thornton, Ann Kdmunds or Betty Jane
Boss at almost anytime selecting out
standing combinations for their spring
wardrobe. As an example, there is a
green, yellow and petunia plaid skirt
for .$5.98, matched with an apple green
short-sleeved sweater that is a dream.
You can pick out almost any color com
binations in a plaid skirt with match
ing or contrasting shade of sweater in
this outstanding store.
Incidentally, these popular short-
sleeve sweaters of peach, baby blue,
pale pink, petunia, red, black, white or
yellow can be bought for $1.98, $2.98
and .$3.98. All three are goqd styles
and very much in demand.
Sweaters and Skirts for Every Occasion
If it’s a jacket and skirt combination
you're looking for, go look at the Strook
jacket of 100% wool (priced at $14.98)
in pink, blue, beige and yellow that
can be matched with good looking
plaid skirts for $5.98 to $10.98.
If you have need for any other pos
sible kind of sweater or skirt, you
will find it at Brownhill’s, for they
specialize in the outstanding and un
usual, but popular, creations.
Blouses for all occasions in white,
l)ink and blue, or almost any other
color or style, can be bought for $3.98
and up. The popular silk jersey and
silk tropical prints, featured by large
patterns of lovely vivid and pastel
colors, are really the thing for summer
smartness, because these long-sleeved
blouses accent your shorts, slacks or
skirt in a “different” way.
Anything in the clothes line from
lingerie to lipstick can be found to
satisfy your desires, so in order to get
the best (piality for your money, go to
Brownhill’s and ask to be shown the
many colorful styles that can make
you a “fashion queen” this spring and
summer.
A’isit Brownhill’s, the store of distinc

Girl-Breaks Give Boys
Little Rest At Dance
■Whirling shirts, jitterbugs, girls
drooping from the heat, ping-pong
players, boys getting damper and
damper—all could be seen at the third
afternoon school dance Friday in the
gym. This was certainly one time the
boys couldn't complain, as there was
about two girls for each one of them.
And were those girls breaking fast.
All had fun. Those who did not care
to dance found plenty of entertainment
in the new ping-pong tables, bought by
the co-recreational committee from pro
ceeds of the two previotis affairs. The
ones who couldn't get near the tables
enjoyed “just watching.”

“U naccustomed
As I Am
To Public Speaking . /
“J/y friends, unaccustomed as I am
to public speaking . . .” 8uch wms the
by-word of the nine Greensburghers
who represented this school at the
fourth annual North Carolina speech
and debate tournament at AAMke Forest
college April 2-4. Full of surprises, un
expected joys and disappointments, the
group came back to Greensboro a
thoroughly weary and speech-worn but
happy group.
To start things off merrily, Jean
Glenn, w4io entered the contest as a
declaimer, wms forced to pinch-hit for
John Taylor, regular member of the
second team. One hour before the first
debate, the sponsor for the second
team, Bill llalladay, member of the
last year’s championship team, grilled
a ten-minute first aflirmative speech
into the bewildered girl's head.
Win Second Place
' And to top that off, the second team
tied Reidsville for second place, to the
surprise of everyone, including the
team itself!
One of the most exciting and yet
most disappointing sights seen by the
three girls and Aliss Alozelle Causey,
adviser of the group, was that of a
suitcase with the tag, “Lieutenant
Colonel Stone, U, S, A,” Later the
group was both amazed and chagrined
when it found the bag was the property
of the Colonel’s daughter!
Staggering home footsore and hoiirse,
the delegates had several thoughts:
there is no place like AA'ake Forest, a
speech tournament can be fun, they
were willing to argue with anybody,
now, and nobody cares what happens
to the proposal of a union of the west
ern hemisphere nations.

Red Goodman Joins
Canadian Air Force
Red Goodman, a former Greensboro
high school athlete, has joined the
Royal Canadian Air Force, while Bob
Rile.v, also a former senior high stu
dent and now a professional boxer, re
turned to school last month to receive
his high school record, a pre-requisite
to his induction into the United States
Air .Corps.
Circular letters to Principal A. P.
Routh as well as to principals of other
city schools authorized by C. AA". Alan-
gel, director of public works of the
city of Greensboro, instructed the
school principals to caution their stu-
d('nts about air raids and air raid pre
cautionary measures.
Tlie h'ttm- stated that the committee
on civilian protection, a national
agency, had prc'scribed school building
inspc(‘tion to determine the vulnerabil
ity of each school building to air
bombs.
Princi])als whose students are housed
in old, frame or wall-bearing buildings
will instruct their students to go home
or to slu'lters prepared for them, in
case of an air raid.
Air Raid Instrurtioiis Given
Studc'iits in modern school buildings
whose basic structure consists of steel
or mniforced concrete will be safer
if they remain in such buildings. The
Senioi- high plant consists of this type.
In modern three-story buildings such
as the main building, students will
come together in the hall of the second
floor, taking care to stay away from
all windows, if an alert is sounded.
4'he second floor is safest because the
third floor detonates the bombs and
prevents them from falling into the
second story. The first floor is unsafe
because it receives much of the shock
caused by bombs falling on the sur
rounding campus. Students are ad
vised to stay away from windows, as
splintering glass and bomb fragments
are common to windows in a raid, ex
plained the letter.
