■HIGH” LIFE; JANUARY 28, 1921. PA&B THREE i CHAPEL SPEAKERS Ur. Jones, the jcounty health officer, talked to the Juniors and Seniors on the fundamentals of good health last Monday. He said, to be healthy we must be well nourished, get plenty of fresh air and rec reation. He especially stressed the fact that we must not over-eat as overeatmg dulled our minds. On last Wednesday one of our facult.7, Mr. York, spoke on “You.” In order to lead a life that is useful we must know ourselves. We must try to think of our selves impersonally, so as to !be alble to find our faults and weaknesses. The laws of nature know no exceptions, neither must we make exceptions to the great law that governs our daily life. Truth. January 19th, the birthday of Robert B. Leo, Mr. Jackson, Dean of history at N. ■C. C. W., lectured on the life of the great est confederate hero. He told many lit tle- incidents of Lee’s private life that were unknown to most of us, and brought out his admirable character. Mr. Jaek- ■tson is a delightful talker, and probably could have held our interest with a subject far less interesting than the life history of a true son of “old Virginia.” IN MEMORY Looking (back over our five years of re cent warfare; there looms before ns, cer tain figures whom we stop to honor. Joyce Kilmer, Rupert Brooks, and those grear leaders and statesmen who helped to lead us to victory, paint vivid pictures in our memories. Nearly a century ago America was In volved in another chaos of war and blood shed. Brother took up arm, against bro ther, father against son, and friend against friend. In this crisis rose two.figures, the fame of whom have spread around the world, and whose names every Southern heart thrills to hear. No knight of old who went bravely forth to champion a cause was more gallant and courageous than Robert B. Lee, or Thomas J. Jackson. No champions of national or religious liberties were more loyal or stead fast in their duty to their country than those men. The strong will-power and determniation of “Stonewall” Jackson, together with his dauntless courage, has placed him among the heroes to be remembered through the ages. He had, besides military power, a strong religious character. No battle was ever engaged without prayer and no vic tory without thanks to his guide and Help er. To him, we can pay no recommend- tion too high, for he was all that makes a gocd, true, man. Robert Edward Lee, his general, was tlir .sj;irit of Southern chivalry itself. He possessed a gentle nature and a devout sense of religious duty. Of the four great est men in our country’s history, Wash ington, Lincoln, Wilson, and Lee, he holds first place; because of his high ideals of lif(.-, his supreme loyalty to his own in a great crisis, and his genius as a leader. N.'-l merely military or political fame, but the ’lonor of a pure, wholesome character, was his So, great men come with every crisis and with each they go. In the firmament of fame and glory no brighter stars gleam than those of Lee and Jackson. And on the stars are five points toward which they strove—the points of a stainless character—good morals, loyalty, honesty, courage, and chivalry. No American gazes into that firmament that there does not swell in his bosom the true admiration for these two great Vir ginians—examples of true Americanism. Friday, January 2nd, the girl’s literary society, in room 203, held its regular monthly meeting. After announcements had been made Miss Parr gave some sug gestions to all who aspire to fjeeome de baters. After the business meeting, the following interesting and profitable prog ram was rendered: An Hour with Famous Artists, Talk—Michael Angelo—Cornelia Neal, Talk—Life of Jean Francis Millett. Mary Frances Keith. Paper—Descrip tion of Angelus—^Annie Lee Keith. Current Events—Margaret Meyers. Talk —Life of Thomas Ganesbury, Caroline McNairy. Jokes—Maude Jones. Critic’s Report: There was a little time left over so the chairman, Mildred Little called for a dis cussion of the programs rendered. Then Nancy Little and Lucile Pettit told some jokes and Estelle Mendenhall led the sing ing of several novel songs. THE WINSTON GAME On Saturday night, January 22nd, Win ston overwhelmed G. H. S., on the floor of the Winston “Y” by a score of 40-22. Although the locals put up one of their best fights, they were unable to stop the assault of Winston’s charge. The score was in Winston’s favor all during the game, but 6. H. S. kept plugging along in their effort to play a clean game against odds. Winston scored the first goal and G. H. In favor of Winston for fully five minutes;. ‘1. the first foul, the score remaining 2-1. But at the end of this period Winston be gan a fierce attack and succeeded in piling up a total of 21 points against 6 for G. H. S. team. During the second half the local team was unable to keep Winston from scoring. However, G. H. S. jumped from 6 points at beginning of half to 22 at close of halt. Although the game ended 40-22 in Win ston’s favor, the local team should be com mended on the clean fight they put up. Captain Poole, G. H. S., upheld his stana- ard for goal shooting, and the team work as a whole was good. For Winston the work of Connely and Hooper was of a high degree. Lineups were as follows: Poole, r. f.; Stafford, 1. f.; Daniels, Center; Ballard, r. g.; Transou, I. g.—for G. H. S. Substitutes were: Oden for Transou, Forsyth for Oden. W. H.

The most enpoyable of the Chapel pro grams for the Annex was—a talk on Proverbs. The book of study, by Mr. Hodgin, pastor of the Westminster Church. Mr. Countryman, champion walker of the United States, gave the Junior High’s a very interesting talk. Another talk by Dr. Jones, concerning health and hygiene, was greatly beneficial.
