J Library Is Inspected
The G. H. S. Library was in-
jpeeted March 1 by Mrs. Mary Pea-
^^ock Douglas, the State Library In-
^ppector.
The exhibit table attracted her at-
lention and she highly commended
X. She found tlie card catalogue
jabinet in a good condition.
=* Her chief criticism was the worn
Condition of the books. Most of them,
ihe said, needed rebinding. She
ihinks the library needs more equip-
nent, such as good fictions, biogra
phies, and books on special hobbies.

Old “Don’t Say Contests!” from the
I ebruary 12 issue.
The results of the contest will not
known until June.
I heard somebody say the first
President was a man and I tells the
world I hope to be a man some day.
I guess if a woman ever gits to be
president she’ll be a presidentiss,
’cause you know a woman heir is a
heiress. I heard that a guy named
Vergil that lived way back yonder
said that a woman is a thing of mood
and changes always. I don’t know
where that man learned that ’cause
I didn’t think the women had always
been that way. But I ain’t no woman.
So what does all that matter?
They say President Washington
was six foot and two inches tall. I
ain’t that tall but I hope to be some
day. I’d like to see a president bare
footed, specially President Hoover.
I heard tlie other day that all presi
dents was superstitious. I wondered
if that Avas so. They said they knowed
it was ’cause even President Hoover
spit on his bait when he goes fishin’.
T^ow I knows I’se just as good as
he is, ’cause that’s what I do when
I want to ketch more fish.
They say that one president, he
wore baggy clothes; well, that is just
like me, ’cause my clothes is dirty
and baggy most of the time too. I’m
a whole lot like all the presidents. I
was born of poor parents just like
Abraham Lincoln was too; so I guess
I’ll be president some day, ’cause you
know I’m fi whole lot like ’em.
Exhibit Table Is
Added to Library
A feature of much interest, an ex
hibit table, has been added to the
library. Iliings made by students
in different classes are on display.
Among the exhibits are a squirrel
mounted by the Taxidermy Club; a
box of mounted moths and butter
flies done by members of Miss Tay-
|lor’s Biology class; and a very at
tractive book on birds of North Caro
lina made by Helen Davis, a Biology
student.
A very original poster and four
jars of canned fruit were added by
Miss Sherwood’s cooking class.
Mr. Sansbury’s manual training
class has an exhibit, a small chair
fourteen inches in height.
Miss Koch’s sewing classes are
displaying attractive notebook cov
ers and several button holes.
The most original thing on this
table is Miss Roark’s scrapbook, con
taining the interesting happenings
around the school.
Miss Roark plans to continue hav
ing this display table during the rest
of the year. Each teacher is asked
to lend some of the interesting things
made by his or her students.
Alcohol is frequently found in the
brains of people who never drank a
drop of liquor.
Recipe for an Ideal Teacher
% cup of Miss Gordner’s knowl
edge of English.
1 cup of Miss Atkins’ thorough
ness.
2 cups of Mr. Helms’ ability to
teach science.
% cup of Miss Sherw’ood’s ability
to teach cooking.
3 cups of Mrs. Mi(klletou’s pa
tience.
1 teaspoon of Miss Cobb’s smiles.
4 teaspoons of Miss Currie’s ath
letic ability.
Y2 cup of Miss Ipock’s school pep.
Mix well Miss Atkin’s thorough
ness, Mrs. Middleton’s patience, and
Miss Ipock’s scliool pep. Then sift
the rest of the ingredients and add
to this. Pour in a pan greased with
Miss Beasley’s personality and
sprinkle Ipock’s with Mr. Bullock’s
humor. Bake 20 minutes. Then
turn out in a classroom. There is
your ideal teacher.
If I could only take an ideal sub
ject from an ideal teacher! Wouldn’t
that be heaven? The subject would
be one that didn’t require study, and
one that wouldn’t make me want to
look out of the window. I think I
would like for the textbook to be
orange colored with red dots on its
cover.
The teacher would have the eyes
and hair of Miss Koregay; the pro
file and figure of Miss Currie; the
complexion of Miss Purser; the hands
and nose of Miss Koch; the teeth of
Miss Ipock; the eyelashes of Mr.
Greene; the eyebrows of Miss Cone;
the personality of Miss Atkins; the
wit of Mr. Bullock; the intelligence
of Miss Beasley; the good nature of
Miss Gordner; Mr. Wilson’s ability
to do the impossible, and also his
good natured smile; the scientific
knowledge of Mr, Holms and Miss
Taylor; the athletic ability of Mr,
Salisbury; the likeableness of Miss
Roark; the sympathetic qualities and
cooking ability of Miss Sherwood;
the fairness of Mrs, Middleton; the
punctuality of Mrs, Cox; and the
kind heart of Miss Kellie.
O’Boy! What an Exam!
Gee! What a time'it was when
all the seniors were ready to take the
Statewide Senior Exam !
Of course there would have to be
a time limit on each page so that
when your pencil point broke you
would probably miss half of the page.
When the hands of Mr. Wilson’s
watch pointed to 9 ;33 the work be
gan. What! We were first to be
questioned about history. We really
knew a lot about it before the exam,
but our minds seemed to go blank
all of a sudden. Why, some of us
actually thought Brandis was the
world’s heavweight wrestling cham
pion. Wonder what elimmy Londos
would think about that.
After a hard struggle of 10 min
utes, Mr. Wilson gave the command
to “move on!” Our eyes then beheld
a science quiz. Really, I couldn’t
figure out the dift'erence between an
animal and a plant. What was the
trouble? I am sure I was in bed
the night before by 10 o’clock.
But alas! The commanding offi
cer said “time up,” and we moved
on to that page on which everyone
excelled—Math !!! I know Miss
Janie Ipock taught me the root of
X“, but I couldn’t even think of that!
I believe I finally said it was X'*.
When the time limit was up, it
wfis a great relief to feel that my
eyes could gaze at something other
than figures.
English, with all her children—
grammar, punctuation, and litera
ture—loomed before our eyes.
Cousins participle and gerund were
dressed so nearly alike that I thought
they were twins and called them the
same. Gee! What will my English
teacher. Miss Gordner, think about
such an unpardonable sin ?
The minute hand on Mr. Wilson’s
watch pointed to 11:20. We know
it was all over, but to come down
to “brass tacks,” it wasn’t so bad
after all.
CRACKLINGS
The “French Toast” a boy in the
Home Economic Club cooked was so
neatly browned that if black shoo
polish had been smeared on it, it
would have left a white streak.
Two boys in the Junior Class like
the same girl. These triangles usu
ally end up in wrecktangles.
Sammy Carr threw a fit of anger
at the blackboard, was trying to con
vince Miss Ipock that liis way of
working an example was right. After
he had attained the peak of redness
in the face, he yelled out, “Oh,
Mamma!”
Fish Gilliken said, “Boy, I really
scaled that English exam.”
I wins during the present depres
sion have but one pair of eye glasses.
These short circuited (near sighted)
youths really have a hard time get
ting uj) home work.
A boy by the name of Gary Gable,
who is a good bet for the boy with
the most beautiful complexion in the
“Who’s Who” contest, says, “I eat
3 yeast cakes a day.” Simply look
ing at his shapeless, puft'ed up, over
grown stomach will verify the fact.
Miss Atkins was caught reading an
article in the Golden Book Magazine
titled, “Women and Marriage.” I
wonder.
(I received the latter from a per
son who said lie wouldn’t tell.)
