Lawrence AYeaver, «-ho appeared on the G. H. S. affirma tive debate team last year, is a mem ber of the AA'ake Forest group. The question was : “Resolved, that the Unit ed States should adopt a policy of re quiring one year’s active military train- ig for young men between the ages of 21 and 23.” Drivers’ Graduating Class Art Class Displays Exhibit For 'Better Homes Week' In connection with the “Better Homes AVeek,” held at the armory Alarch 24-29, Mrs. C. O. Braswell’s art classes sent a large exhibit of art work, consisting of weaving, three types of metal work, block prints, wood carving, and pottery. Another high school fea ture was the work of J.

Just re turned from a field camping trip held to get us hardened and used to sleep ing in the field under actual battle conditions,” read a letter received this week by Airs. Blanche Smith, from Fred Bray, Jr., 1940 graduate of Greensboro high school, who is now stationed with the United States army at Fort Screven, Georgia. Historical Pamphlets Includel “I am now a hardened soldier, ready to fight at the drop of Hitler’s hat,” continued Bray in his communica tion, which requested that folks at home write to “A lonesome soldier who always appreciates mail.” Enclosed in the letter were two pamphlets concerning Fort Pulaski, Georgia, which is located a few miles from Fort Screven, and which Bray felt would be of interest to bis former history instructor.

PECK’S BAKERY 330 AA’est AA’ashiiigtoii Street “AA'hy when I was j'oiir age”—and that’s what everybody always tells the young frj-—“you know how I picked up my movie and coke money?” —so runs the monologue of the pres ent Senior student fifteen years from now. Just how do folks get their extra change — allowances are never large enough. They woi*k—w’ork with their hands, feet, and even brains. Probably the best known job is the paper route, next comes clerking—^in local groceries, department stores, and "five and tens.” Of course, there’s the proverbial mowing of lawns and always the run ning of errands. Some of the boys step from the white-collar school duds into coveralls and help around filling- stations or at the airport. Nurse maiding has claimed the spare time of many of the modern misses. They tend babies for pocket-pepper-up pers. At any rate, when the old-timers say the 5'oung generation is headed for the dogs, they forget that some— a good many—actually work ! When Hungry THINK OF FS Talbert's Food Center Foolish Female Fashions As Seen By a Mere Boy In female fashions nowadays (as always) the ideal is to be as much like everyone else, only different, as possible. That possibly explains the current rage for middy blouses. Girls try to look as mature and ex perienced as possible (by waj' of lip stick, rouge, pan-cake make-up, and mascara), etc. and yet when a fad for middy blouses comes along, they all don the garments and look like first- graders. Not long ago when the rage for dirty saddle oxfords was in full blast, one pretty senior came to school with clean shoes. She ,was so em barrassed that she washed the polish off of them that night and returned next day with her shoes as gray and as fashionable as usual. Spring Brings, Alas! Hats Spring will bring, along with middy blouses, the usual collections of ab-h! —surrealistic Easter bats. This writer suggests as a possible way to attract attention in the Easter parade that some girl tie a candy-striped lamp shade to her head with her beau’s necktie, or balance a pot of geraniums on her head (which will add a touch of color, as well as help her posture), or possibly get out all her old dolls and have them marching around the edge of a wide-brimmed hat (mechani cal effects and noises may be added, but are apt to make the hat unwieldy). Then there’s the example of the fashionable lady who had the envious eyes of every woman in a restaurant fastened on her when she walked in for lunch wearing a plain, old-fash ioned straw bonnet. Madlin Takes Sledge’s Place During Absence Owing to illness, Miss Margaret Sledge, Senior high English instruc tor, resignel April 1 from her po sition at Greensboro high school. Miss Sledge, whose home is in Wel don, N. €., returned to teaching only nine weeks ago from a one- semester leave of absence. Mrs. Mary Madlin will take her place.
