FACULTY ADVISERS Faculty Advisers Mrs. Olive Betts, Miss Emily Harris Financial Adviser Miss Dorothy McNairy A Defining of Authority The student council has frequently declared tliat it is I'cady at all times to receive any sugges tion for operating or im'proving the student gov ernment. But, according to the news High Life has been able to gather, very few constructive suggestions liave been received, and tlie ones which have l)Gen secured have dealt not so much with Ihe problems of student government .as with prob lems of administration. Tlie council, as it has many times said, is only too happy to receive new ideas, but these should be eonstnietive and should be in the council’s juris- diclion. Gone With the Bell Of course it may be imperative, but some stu dents deem it necessary to leave the buildings at tlie close of school at least forty-eight seconds before llie rest of their classmates. This is accom- plisliod by closing all books and leaning slightly forward in the seat (in correct racing form) about (ifteeii minutes before the end of the last period vlass. When the boll rings, a dash is made for the door, which all racers usually reach at the same time. The strongest manage to prevail and find l.liemselves in the hall, through whieli they speed after the fashion of the Lone Hanger and Tonto, However, unlike the Lone Hanger, they are not out to rid the world of villains and scoundrels, but they do manage to take a few scalps and to de prive the rest of the students of the pursuit of happiness for a few minutes each day. Just as a more hint this organ would like to suggest that these iiieonsiderate souls confine their da.shes to the children’s hour of the aforc-mentioned bakery program or to the “Gallup” poll. Talking It Over By Mrs. Christine Florance Death—to the Killer! High School students are not too young to buy their Ghri.stmas seals this year compassionately, sympathetically, and nnderstandingly. We can do it because we know tliat our few cents will total enougli finally to enable modern medical science to salvage some life ravaged and wrecked by the deadliest, most incipient killer of them all— Iniherciilosis. Let us give, and let us do it warmly, and cheerfully and joyfully—in keeping with the Oliristmas spirit. (iet Your Selling Jobs Now Right now is the time to apply for selling .jobs in (lime stores, (now known as “junior (lepartnient stores”) grocery, drug, and de partment stores. Most store owners and man agers begin lining iip their Christmas extras early in November. The majorit5' of the ex tras, both boys and girls, are paid on an hourly basis and average from 22 to 28 cents an hour for their work, though a few sell on commission. Inexperienced boys and girls have better luck getting their first jobs in the dame stores and grocery stores. If they do well on these jobs, they may continue to work on ►Saturdays after Christmas is over and throughout the summer if they are needed. Training thus secured through part-time or seasonal employment will be a definite asset in getting and holding future jobs. ITigh-school-age sales people should be at least 16 years of age, neat and attractive in personal appearance, and should have pleas ing, friendly personalities. Some Tips to Help You Out 1. Apply where other people your age are frequently employed. 2. Look your most business-like best when applying. Omit hair ribbon, chewing gum, excessive make-up, and wear hat and hose. 3. Find out before time what questions you are likely to be asked in an interview with an employer and think out your an swers carefully but do not memorize them. Alert, intelligent answers help to establish a favorable impression. 4. Get a social security number, and, if you are under 18, you will need a work per mit. You may get your social secixrity num ber from the social security office in the Guilford Bank building. Application for a work permit is made to Lester Sides who has his office in the Coixnty "Welfare department on 303 West Sycamore street. 5. Place your application for Christmas work at the employment office in the Guilford building. This will strengthen your chances of placement. G. H. S. Girls Take Selling Tests Approximately 85 G. II. S. girls took tests in vocabulary and store arithmetic on No vember 14 for work in the local five and ten cent stores. The tests were those constructed by the federal bui*eau of employment se curity for the selection of variety store work ers. Miss Frances Brisendine, Junior Counselor fx‘om the North Carolina State employment service, administered these tests, and she plans to select the high scorers for recom mendation to local store managers.

Poefs Corner SONG Down thrix the city, down thru the slums, past all the shopkeepers, past all the bums, up where the shadows checkered the ground, that's where I thought that my Love could be found. Once I bad seen Love, standing by a bouse, but I was in the dusty road, frightened as a mouse. Still I am searching, up thru the stars, back in tlie misty past, looking at scars. Out of the houses, past every wall, so I shall come to Love if Love will ever call. —Gene Thornton. Murder in Cold Blood Or Death Drops Dunstan By ELAINE MILLER Editor’s Koto: The journalism 1 students' “power for detail” is de veloped every year, for the group is required to “write up” this fear some episode in the host feature style. Advanced journalists now take the satne delight in presenting the act that sophomores take in initiat ing freshmen. It was a dirty trick to pull on an unsus pecting journalism class! All was going fine when loud noises, Eleanor Taylor and Rachael Whiteside, were heard in the hall. Bursting into the room, the two members of the IlrGH Life staff argued violently about some mislaid, or stolen, money, which had been placed on the instructor’s desk. As the quarrel waxed louder, Aurelia Dunstan came upon the ghastly scene and interfered in the fight, only to be stabbed by Rachael. The villain made her escape through the back window, as Eleanor di*ag- g('d the limp body from the room, assisted by those strong, gallant gentlemen, Douglass Hunt and Solomon Kennedy. Soon after this, a cry was sent out for type four blood for a transfusion, but since none was offered, Aurelia died a lonesozne death. Any one should know’ by now tliat it was only a skit to develop the journalism 1 students’ eye for detail and an incitation for further borne work. is • PP*. Record roenmmendations for November are headed by Bing Crosgy’s “You Made Me Love Yon.’’ Tliis is an upper-comer that is making its xvay along with “Special Delivery Stomp,” specially delivered by Gene Krupa, and another Krupa disc, “The World Is In Jly Arms.” “I’ll Get By,” with Charlie Barns conduct- ting, is a current for that fast -growing col lection, and if you’re out of ready cash to buy another, “Pompon Turnpike” can be heard on any drug store nickleodeon. “When I Saw You” has been vocalized by Bob Eberley for Jimmy Dorsey to bring this number one band back into the spotlight again. Classics and Albums For the patriotic album collector, Robi son’s “Ballad for Americans” comes first on the best-seller list. Next comes “Concerto No. 3 in 1). Major,” played by Sergie Rach maninoff at the piano, with the Philadel phia orchestra. A new album that should be interesting to operatic followei*s is “Lily Pons in Operatic Selections and Songs,” album M-702. Lily Pons outshines herself in an amazing col lection of records. ‘Aloonlight Sonata—Adagio and Minuet in (t. Jlajor” is remarkable because of .Tan Paderewski, who makes this last but per haps the most enchanting of any recent classical recording. ‘Florian Pictures Story of Pre-War Austria “Florian.” written by Felix Salten, is the story of another epoch—the Austrian empire before the World war. This empire, ruled by Franz .Joseph, emperor of Austria, w’as peo pled by fun-loving, decadent aristocrats and simple illiterate peasants. Although these groups were the extremes, it was between them that Florian, a beaufi:ul stallion from the Emperor's stud-farr.i iu Lipizza, spent his career. Knowing nothing of rank and social order, Florian was the oh’^ct of great admiration by Franz Joseph nid by Archduke Franz Ferdinand, but it waS| only Anton, the stable boy who cared ■’’or him, that he xvorshipped. His world ended with the war in 1014, for Austria no loi ger had time to remember the old order of which he was a part. Perhaps I' elix Salten made of Florian a symbol of j:l\Q old Austria iu which he was born. He, ilumself, was forced to leave his native lanjfd in 1034, for the words he wrote iu “Florian” and “Bambi” and all his other books seamed to hold dire significance for the conqijierors. Faculty I*iin Miss IMims would like to take the credit for this pun which teachers pulled when discussing the Navy-Yale football game, “I think the Navy will win by Gobs and Gobs!” Well, Could He? When a Salisbury player punted the ball into the Greensboro bench during the recent Boyden high game, Sarah Holmes kept in sisting that Joe Winner, then out of the game, take it up and run. Heavy studies. Heavy date; Heavy heart, No graduate Shrinking Violets? Currently almost all English 7 classes are wilt’n from Milton. Figurative and Litteral Miss Katherine Thompson, Greensboro col lege practice teacher, in speaking of the French revolution to Miss Blackmon’s second period class, declared, “Everyone just lost their heads!” What’s In a Name? Di-ane go to heaven— Be-a-man, Oliver! Flying High Miss Wall’s latest: “Every time I see these sweaters turned backwards, I think of ‘Wrong Way Cardigan.’ ” Pouring rain Ain’t soi merry; Need goloshes? No,—a feriY- —R. W. You Don’t Say? What original history student declared that, after the constitution had been written, it shouted, “Help, I’ve been framed I” Glamor-pants and Dazzle-Dish Riding in a coupe; Movie? Dancing? Sights? Romancing? Fair and Loop^le-Loop? A Football Game? A bit of Swing? Or Gazing at the moon? Nope: You haven’t guessed it yet: “Spring Fever’s” coming soon. —A. T. Y'ou’re the One That’s Off! For the benefit of those who think the slogan declaring, “Education for Common De fence” wasl misspelled; Webster gives it as a proper spelling! P. S. That’s the way it was used—so there! Playmaster tiyouts. Ambitious neophytes; Old members lose bouts, New ones gain lights. Have a Seat In iliss Smith’s English 7 class, Virgil Schenck gave as the definition of a chair; a wooden, metal, or stone objeci that rests the back of the lap! This column is getting a reputation for its “Jlisspellers” but here’s one just too good to leave out. Bill Hodgin’s latest is: ditfy-“lidy”. Eeek! Martie McLeiuiaii timidly confesses that xvheii Ed Allen, playfully put a harmless Avhite rat on her head, she shrieked bloody murder and made her exit from F, E. Thomas' history class. What Do You Think? Following xvith more feminine foibles, Wil lie Mae King may be seen at almost any hour sporting a huge silver pen that looks like this:? Introduction, Guess who? Nancy Cowherd, Moo-moo! Happy Birthday The ladies have the fun all to themselves this week, it seems. Miss Gertrude Farlow was most pleasantly surprised when her sec ond period Latin class gave her a birthday shower of fruit last week.
