* LIBRARY SERVICE
The Winston High’s football team
"was feeling very liberal last Thurs
day when they handed onr boys their
seventh football victor^ to the tune
of 27 to nothing Rt Welch field.
Winston’s gift was forced by! our
hard-hitting, sure-going team in an
•easy manner.
In the first quarter High Point
rushed Winston for three consecutive
downs. Our smashing attach result
ed in a tonchdown, Gleason carry

point was made good by Gernander.
After this first touchdown High

The library newly organized by
the librarian at the High Point high
school is open for daily use. For the
first seven days it was open there
were five hundred and twenty seven
books in circulation. The library was
given to the school by the senior
class of ,23. Miss Shover has a hel
per for each period in the day, so
that she may devote her time to stu
dents who need her help about their
reference work. The books are so
kept that any student in school can
find immediately the book which he
desires. The books of fiction are on
one shelf, essays on another, and
biography on another. So it is not
nfcessary for any student to ask Miss
Shover where any hook is. There is
a reading list posted in every ro'om
and in the library that shoavs what
books you can read to get credit
for. and the number of credits that
will be given on each. The present
system is striving to make the li
brary service as goed as any in the
state.

“The Bachelor’s Dream,’’ was given.

In his dream he saw his old sweet
hearts. First his little playmate,
Vera Smith, then Annie Payne acted
the shy country girl. After her

That on or around December first
the first revision of the new Y. M.
C. A. building would be ready for
opening was the interesting an-
noun'-ement made by Edgar Hartley,
Y secretary and director.
A program of development will be
worked out corresponding to the
verse in the Bible • wihch reads,
“Jesus developed in wisdom, stature,
and in favor with God and Man.”
Mr. Hartley explained and fliow-
fd the aiTangement of the building.
The swimming pool is regulation
size. 60x20. Starting off at the depth
of four feet and tapering doivn to
eight and one half feet. The water
will be running out and through a
filter and hack in at the other end
of the pool.
The pool and the walk around the
pool will be of white tile, wh'Te the
walls will show this up an elaborate
color-scheme. The older boys and
the men will have a dressing room
at one end arranged so as to step
oiit of the dressing room, under the
showers, and into the swimming poo'.
The same arrangemept will be used
for the younger boys.
The gymnasium will be as large
and will be arranged to compare
favorably with nrv in the south.
There will be ample room for a bas
ket ball game or indoor baseball
nr any other indoor sn^rt and leave
rcom for a gallery which will seat
800. Later on a track, oval in shape,
will be built around the wall.
