“HIGH” LIFE’S NAME
“High” Life is indebted to Miss Thel
ma Floyd, of Room 203, for its name.
When it was decided to have the paper
the editorial staff offered a yearly sub
scription to the one submitting the best
name. As the staff felt that this was such
an appropriate one, it decided to give the
winner two subscriptions. We feel that
this name can mean many things. It is a
high school paper and the name suggests a
higher life in this kind of work.

ing of Football Squad.
Camp Hicone is siutated at Doggett’s
Mill, about ten miles from Brown Sum
mit. It is an ideal location for a camp,
elevated about fifty feet above the creek
As one approaches the site, one would not
suspect that a camp was near, but as you
wind in and out among the maples and
pine trees one sees that every one of the
seven tents are placed just right to form
a semicircle, with headquarters tent in the
center.
The camp was under the supervision of
Mr. Wm. York, Mr. R. E. Denny, Mr. Ar
thur Richter and Mr. Ed Woods. Three
of the four stayed at the camp aU the time.
Mr. York was the business manager, Mr.
Woods was in charge of the aquatics and
assistant director of the camp program,
while Mr. Denny and Mr. Richter had gen-

S. seemed to have a slight edge on her op
ponents all during the game, while Dan
ville showed lack of team work; G. H. S.
presented some fine team work and also
showed that they had profited by Coach
York’s good work.
Danville based her chances of gain on
line plunges and end runs, making three
end runs during the entire game.
A summary of the game is as follows:
Greensboro kicked off to Danville, 0 'Bricnt

Fine Year Exepcted
For High School
G. H. S. Captures First Two
Games of \920 Season
Largest Enrollment Recorded in Its His
tory.
Greensboro High School opened Sept.
13, with an enrollment of 60 Seniors, 108
Juniors, 167 Sophomores, 272 Freshmen,
and 125 in the Junior High, making a to
tal of 712 in the High School student body.
There have been several additions to
the faculty, making a total of 38 teachers.
The concensus of opinion is that the High
School has had a most auspicious opening
and everything points toward a successful
year.
There have been a number of improve
ments about the building and grounds dur
ing the summer. The most notable change
was the moving of the library to‘Room
102, thus affording the much needed space
for more bookcases and reading tables.
The consensus of opinion is that the High
have been enlarged and more apparatus
secured, making the work easier and more
effective.
All school furniture was gone over; all
old desks were planed and revamished,
and new ones installed. The pride of the
student body in school property has grown
a great deal and speaks well for this year’s
group of students.

Greensboro’s part, received the ball on the
30-yard line, and by powerful off tackle

only to be called back due to off sides.

pushing steadily toward the goal.

CENTRAL CAROLINA FAIR
The twenty-first annual fair of Central
Carolina promises to be one of the highest
merit. Rubin and Cheny Company, well
known amusers, have the Midway and side
shows this year, and they guarantee good,
clean, uplifting shows.
The exhibits consist of educational, live
stock, horticultural and domestic affairs,
fine arts and paintings. Prizes totaling up
wards of twenty-five hundred dollars will
be awarded.
Racing, fireworks and acrobats promise
a good time for the ones who care to at
tend. The Southern Railway has ar
ranged so that a train will be run between
Greensboro and the fair grounds every
thirty minutes.
All the schools will have Friday, the
15th, for their day. They will be given
free tickets to attend.
‘High” Life Dedicated
To a Greater G. H. S.
Its Aim to Keep Alive and Better High
School Spirit
In setting out on the first year of its
life “High” Life wishes to go on record as
dedicating itself to a greater and better
Green.sboro High School. It intends at aU
times to exert a strong influence in sehool
life for the “highest” things, the things
that count. It wishes to remedy a condi
tion which in the past has led pupils to go
off to prep schools for their last year or
two of High School education. It wishes
to unify the sehool and interest the stu
dents in it, so as to keep a class intact
from its Freshman year till its day of
graduation. And last and most impor
tant, it wishes to make the parents of
Greensboro realize that it is they who
make the schools what they are, by h
wide-awake interest in their management
and necessary appreciations, without
which the schools cannot be improved.
