You can certainly depend on this
fine senior boy! You want proof?
His class gave him the “depend
able superlative.”

won a prize some day! Gosh, peo
ple just don’t appreciate good
doodling' when they see it. That
was my best one. I called it ‘Geom
etry Six'! ”
But what is doodling, and why
is it so underrated?
There are two types of doodlers
—the circlers and the real-gone
squares. The designs of the first
somewhat resemble the “poodle”
hair cut as seen from the top. The
latter is precisely what it says—
a bunch of squares arranged in an
original-looking pile.
The really talented doodlers, but
unfortunately there are not many
of these around, are the eirsquares.
They artistically combine the cir
cles and crazy squares. Their fin
ished products are often called
modern art and even win prizes.
This, however, is a highly advanced
form of doodling.
Doodling has been termed by
some as a nervous condition. Could
this have been what ailed the
senior senator from Wisconsin re
cently? One of his doodles was
even published on the front page
of the GREENSBORO DAILY
NEWS. It was drawn at one of his
famous investigations. The style
was a rather messy stage of cir-
squares. Who dares to say that
doodling isn’t worthy?
So take heart, doodlers, and
don’t dispair. Your day will come.
And remember, the best modern |
art in the museum was probably
a doodle originally!

With all these outside activities,
Stewart still finds time to be en
graving editor for the WHIRLIGIG
and to make honor grades. He
started pla.ying the violin while in
the third grade and is still, and
he says it, trying to play in GHS’s
orchestra.
Evidently Stewart likes water be
cause he started swimming for
GHS while in the ninth grade at
Lindley and is still on the teanv.
Last year he received the swim
ming trophy.
His junior year he served as
vice-president of his class and his
home room elected him marshall, i
Also he was chosen president of j
the JCL. j
After graduation he hopes to j
attend Carolina.

Look’s as though this couple got
caught, in one of those unexpected
April showers, but, luckily, they
were fully prepared for it, um
brella and all.

way, are sophomores, met in a'

an excuse to meet this girl, who j
hails from Aycock. Well, anyway,
he must have made an impression
on her, ‘cause when Mr. X asked
for a date. Miss X accepted.
On their first date, September
12, something a little embarrassing
occurred. It seems that when Mr.
X started to introduced Miss X
to his father, he found that he
had forgotten the young lady’s
last name! i
The fact that Mr. X is a mem-1

time the band takes one of its
week-end trips, it means that Mr.
X will go along, leaving Miss X
behind.

Deacon Finds School
In State Of Confusion
Friends, I want to tell you about
how it was the other day when I
went over to this school. Well, they
was all going around there a look
ing and a acting kind of strange
like.
Some of them was muttering,
■‘Friends, Romans, and country
men, lend me your ears. I come
to bury Caesar, not to praise him.”
And friends, I’m telling you, they
kept on saying that over and over,
’til I was beginning to git wor
ried
Then there was these others that
was acting kinda peculiar, too.
They was all excited and they was
saying “Quick! Give me a plot. The
thing’s due tomorrow.”
Then I saw these others, and
they was looking mighty haggard
and pooped out like, and I seen
why it was when I heard ’em toll
in’ how late they’d sat up and
typewrited the night before.
Well, I went into this great old
long room there, and I seen some
of ’em a waving these little pink
cards under the teacher’s nose.
Then they was all goin’ through
this little bitty hallway there, and
I followed ’em and came out in
another long room—only this one
was a library. I know because it
had tables in it and a whole raft
of books a lined up against the
wall. But gettin’ back to those
people that had had the pink cards,
they would all go git a book or a
magazine and sit down and take
these little white cards out of
these little brown briefcases that
they had and start in to scribble
all over ’em. Well, they done that
’til a bell rung, and then they left,
but by this time I decided that if
this was all they did in high school,
I didn’t take to it so very hot

Spring has sprung, love has riz,
wonder where the weddins is?
They are just around the corner,

College. Sara Walters, ’53, was
elected president of the rising sen

was selected for the honor council.
Betsy Duke, another GHS’er, was
