Proofreader WESLEY JONES Circulation Manager EDGAR SNIDER Assistant Circulation Manager MISS HELEN DERRICK Faculty Manager M. L. PATRICK Faculty Business Manager * HONESTY ” * What is honesty? Someone ’* has said that it is truthfulness. ’’ Another writer has said that it ” is straight forwardness. Mr. ” * Webster defines it as freedom ” from fraud. Countless numbers ^ * of people, from all walks of life ’ have interpreted honesty to suit their own beliefs, and have practised it accordingly. And so it is with our school life. The word “honesty” im- * plies all the things just men tioned, and to us it should mean just what it implies. It is one of the greatest traits which humanity is capable of possessing, and one which acts as the deciding factor in the success or failure of every hu man being. Strictly speaking, it is the measure of good char acter, and character is worth striving for. Wilbur Hutchins, President of Student Council ***************** this year. They decided to get a blocked letter, which is a much newer type and is the one used in the larger high schools and colleges. The chairman then ap pointed a committee to decide the time and place of each club meet ing. On the committee were Cornell Johnson, Robert Hubbard, and Virginia Hunt. Another committee composed of E izabeth Ragan, Fred Thomas, and Alfred Moffitt, was appointed to decide what should be done about the people wearing monograms tha*. they have not earned. As there was no further business, the meeting adjourned. lEiYSON PLAY GIVEN BY El 2. Mother—Helen Wilson. 3. Gareth—J. T. Hensley. —Gareth Sees the King. 1. Director—Herman Yokeley. 2.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE WORKS EFFICIENTLY Basket ball season will soon be on the wing. Now, just think what we have to look forward to. Thanksgiving and incidentally the Thanksgiving holidays will soon be here. Don’t forget to include in the list of things to be thankful for the fact that reports go out AFTER the holidays. We understand that the lady members of the faculty will play the champion volley ball team some time this week and expect to win. What great truth does this illustrate? That we are all born optimists? Or that hope springs eternal in the human heart? A recent issue of the Literary Digest carries an article which says that the animal known in the United States as the bison is now on the decrease, and may m a few years be wholly extinct. We beg to disagree to the whole statement, and even more so if they are considering the kind known as the Black Bison. OUR HOCKEY TEAM Girls are as much interested in athletics as boys. And that is the reason we have girls’ basketball, baseball, track, and hockey teams The girls’ hockey team has played their first series of games this year. The team needs support to make it successful, and the varsity appre ciates all the boosting and cheering that the school gives them. Perhaps the school has not yet realized that we have a team that can hold down a five-year squad to a tie of 0 to 0. Anyway, the High Point high school squad feel that they need enthusiastic supporting as well as the foot ball boys do. DISPOSING OF LUNCH PAPERS Several days ago in chapel Mr. Johnston said that the disposal of lunch bags and papers in front of the school is presenting quite a problem It is certain that they cannot be thrown right down in the gutter or on the sidewalks for there they would make an ugly appearance anc detract greatly from the lawns and walks around the building. Neither are trash-cans very ornamental, especially when they are placed so near the street, as any to take care of this difficulty would necessarily have to be. Difficulty—that’s just what it is. Our principal said that if anyone had any suggestions to make he would be glad to hear them W’e are sorrv we cannot help m this matter as we would like to do but at least we hope that some students will have a “bright idea.” If you do, be sure to let it be known, and thereby help save the appearance of the grounds.
