RED CROSS PLANNING
COURSE IN HYGIENE
As a cooperative undertaking by
Senior high school and the local Red
Cross, three classes in home hygiene
and care of the sick were opened Sep
tember 27 to the girls. L’nder the di
rection of Mrs. Grace B. Hatch, a Red
Cross nurse, the program being carried
out i.s a part of a health and pby.sical
education class which is to meet three
days a week, for approximately the
next eight to ten weeks. The classes
meet Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
n 10 to 11 o’clock, from 11:00 to
]2:r)0 o’clock, and from 2:30 to 3:30
o'clock,
Nursing of Sick Is Theme
Within these classes girls will be
taught the correct way to change a bed
when a person is unable to get out of
it, to bathe sick people and babies, and
to administer first aid to the injured
in any crisis that might arise.
Only those girls having study peri-
od.s were eligible. The maximtim num
ber of girls in each class has been set
at 20.
A similar class is to be started for
the adults in Greensboro and is to
work simultaneously with those at
Senior high. Due to the present regis
tration, tlie class will probably be at
night.
Oriental Draperies
Brighten Dark Lab
Hedy Lamarr has certainly had her
influence even at Senior high school, in
the way of the exotic, for, hanging in
room 12 i,s a tapestry (just as glamor
ous as the movie star), which comes
from Oriental Persia. Against a nat
ural background, the dominant colors
of reds and yellows stand out. The
designs for the most part are mythical.
A curious item is the liberty taken by
the weavers with the design. For ex
ample, if a figure would not fit in the
space allotted, it was distorted until
it would. The pairs of peacocks and
lions, however, have not suffered from
this change and appear most realistic.
The most remarkable thing about
the tapestry is the intricate designs,
for all were printed by hand with wood
en blocks and herb dyes. Miss Snowe
Bradley, member of the home econom-;
ies department, bought this oriental
art treasure at Seninian’s several years
ago.
Other Unusual Objects
Two other unusual objects are small
embroidered pictures which depict the
processes of making the famed Persian
rugs. One illustrates the manner of
weaving. Multicolored threads that
hang over the weavers’ heads are
plucked down and woven into the rugs
as the caller sings the design. This
caller, usually a man, sings out the
pattern as the women weave it. The
other depicts transportation of the rugs
from the desert to the coast.
All should be proud of our Oriental
treasures, for, though recently ac
quired, they have become so much a
part of the home economics depart
ment.

Council Launches
Visitation Plan
Home room council officers, who
have recently been e!eetel, are Rob
ert Glenn, vice-president, and Sarah
Armstrong, secretary. Because of
his office as vice-president of the
student body, Carlyle Groome auto
matically became president of the
home room council.
At the first meeting of the group,
which is comiM)sel of presidents of
the various session rooms, the first
big project of the year was launched,
visitation in the home of each new
comer to Greensboro high school
by a council member. In this way
the governing boly of the school
hopes to become better acquainted
with each new individual and to
make him feel really at home as a
member of this high school.
It Ain’t What You Do
IPs the Way That You Do It
Miss Harbison’s last period English
students came pouring into class last
Friday afternoon, gabbing and gig
gling as usual. Each glanced cautious
ly at the radio on teacher’s desk, won
dering if they would have to hear
some long oration in a nasal voice
pouring over the air waves.
But were'-these ambitious scholars
astounded when, right before their
very eyes. Miss Harbison casually
turned the radio dial and landed on
a “jam session”! The students began
to wonder if they were in “The Land
of Oz,” but, as they had suspected,
their dreams had not yet entirely ma
terialized.
When the class regained concious-
ness, Mias I-Inrbison was politely re
questing them to transpose a classical
poem Into well-written prose, during
the musical accompaniment.
Working on the classical selection
to the jaz^ strains of “Well, All
Right,” the students proceeded, onl.v
to find discouraging results. Finally,
the class pleaded with Miss Harbison
to cut out the racket in order that
their mental processes might operate
more efficiently.
In spite of remarks such as, “Shucks,
I can’t understand this stuff, now; I’m
all mixed up,” the experiment still
continnetl.
“And now, “Over the Rainbow,’ from
‘The Wizard of Oz,’ starring Judy Gar
land,” came the announcer’s romantic
voice in direct contrast to the pictur
esque language of the classic.
By this time, the almost frantic class,
wondering many times if they heard
sentence or had read it, their minds
being completely muddled, were willing
to believe with the instructor that the
be.st study habits are those practiced
with a silent radio.

BIRD NEARLY EXTINCT
DISCOVERED BY MILLER
A stuffed pileated wood-pecker, one
of the rarest birds in North America,
is on exhibition in the science depart
ment of Senior high school. This out-
.standing specimen was killed by Rudy
Miller, senior, when he was scouting
about two miles west of Greensboro,
off Friendly road, recently.
Saw Male and Female
A strange “caw, caw’, caw” attracted
his attention. I^pon close examination,
he discovered a pair, both male and
female, of pileated wood-peckers. Since
Rudy is a former member of Mrs.
Blackburn’s nature class, he was able
to identify his discovery, and knew
to shoot only the male, which has a
blackish - brown body, a white stripe
extending from his nostril down his
neck, and a scarlet streak across the
head down to the bill. The female
resembles the maie, except for the
amount of red on the head.
Bird Helpful to Man
This species is perhaps one of the
most helpful to man, as the muscles
of its neck are especialy developed to
allow it to strike hard blows, constant-
I.v, into decaying log.s, where insect
larvic are hidden.

. Makes ALL f^ods taste better
Because of the high rate of attend
ance for the month of September, Sen
ior high school, with a number of the
other units in the system, will be re
warded with a half-holiday tomorrow.
Mrs. Avery’s room, with an attend
ance average of 99.86%, topped the
list of home rooms. However, there
were many runners-up, some lacking
only a few hundredths of a point to
equal this record.
School officials are most anxious for
this record to he continued in order
that the students’ work may not suf
fer. In addition, it was noted that
the number of teachers allotted each
.school and the state funds allowed de
pend to a great extent on the average
daily attendance of the schools in each
unit.

Page to Lead Thalians
At their first regular meeting, the
Jlialian Dramatic club elected Dianne
Page to lead them through the coming
Four Tuesday-night .Collins festival
entertainments are to be given at Sen
ior high beginning October 31, under
the sponsorship of the Kiwanis club,
for the benefit of the Sight-Saving
classes in the city schools. The season
ticket cost of all four concerts, which
will start at 8 p.m., will be $1.25 for
adults and 65 cents for students.
The first program will be given by
the Mordelia ilerrj’makers, who play
a medley of folk songs, marches, and
American classics. Flora, daughter of
the famous Pietro Mordelia, will assist
her father. She graduated in music
at the Boston university and two years
ago won the all-Xew England Bee
thoven prize for sopranos. For nov
elty in the program, she plays the
piano and accordion and gives humor
ous impersonations.
The second program featm-es a well-
known musical trio, Doris Davidson,
a controlto singer; Mary Elizabeth
Guthree, a harpist; and Ruth Trump,
violinist.
Dr. Frank G. Sayers mil give an
address on the subject of “An Amer
ican Cavalcade” on the third Tuesday.
His speech is packed with illustrations
from the fields of history, science, tra
vel, letters, and sports. Widely trav
eled, Dr. Sayers is especially well in
formed and is well fitted to give this
address.
The last number of the program will
be a gripping drama, “Youth Carries
the Torch,” which shows the tangle of
love, human life, and iuternational in
trigue in the field of science. The
hero, David Chandler, discovers a death
ray that renders armaments useless.
Terrified at its power, he leaves home
trying to decide what to do with it,
when love finds him just in time. This
satisfactory show will end the novel
entertainments offered by the Collins
group.
