CITY SPRINKLE SETTLES
DUST OF LOCAL GRIDIRON
Norman Cooper, the manager of the
football team, brought into play the re
sources of the city of Greensboro in order
to better the playing conditions of the con
testing gridiron warriors of the Chapel
Hill and Greensboro High Schools.
Owing to the long dry spell that Greens
boro and the surrounding country has suf
fered for the last month or so, Manager
Cooper deemed it wise to prevail upon the
city authorities to b]'ing out their sprink
lers and in this way settle the dust in Cone
Park, which would have obscured the plays
and stopped up the breathing passages of
both players and spectators. This act
showed great foresight and managerial
ability on the part of Mr. Cooper and is
only a speciman of the good work he has
been doing the whole year and which, we
feel sure, he will continue to do.

JUNIOR PRIZE HEALTH ESSAY
“Nor love, nor honor, wealth nor power.
Can give the heart a cheerful hour.
Wlien health is lost. Be timely wise;
With health all taste of pleasure flies.
We should all try to keep our body ma
chine in such good condition that, barring-
accidents, we should live to a ripe old age.
To do this, we should follow a few simple
health rules.
At least eight glasses of water should be
drunk daily, between meals. This is very
essential. Water is of the same importance
inside that it is without. Next to drinking
water, chewing our food is most important.
First, we should be sure that the food is
good food. We ought to eat a variety of
foods, for different foods build up differ
ent parts of our body. Our menu should
be well balanced and well cooked.
Eat what you need, no more. Then we
should chew' our food well. Masticate each
mouthful before you swallow it. This is
the cause of most indigestion.
Very important to our health is exercise
at least twenty-five minutes each day. It
is a fact familiar to all that the heart beats
more violently when -we are exercising than
when we are resting. Exercise in modera
tion is of undoubted value, because it sends
the increased amount of blood to such parts
of the body w'here increased oxidation has
been taking place as-the result of the exer
cise. The best forms of exercise are those
which give as many muscles as possible,
work-out-of-door .sports, especially when
your mind is tired it is a good thing to take
exercise.
We should ahvays exercise in the open
air so that you can fill your lungs with
oxygen.
The amount of sleep you should get de
pends upon your age, but all young folks
require a large amount. All youths of the
High School need from eight and a half to
nine hours, and ten hours would be better.
Everybody should sleep in a well-ventilat
ed room and still better, on a sleeping
porch. If you sleep well you are much
healthier.
Avoid excesses of any kind. Be temper
ate in all things.
Don’t worry. It is mostly a matter of
habit. Don’t get into the way of it. Wor
ry is the prime life-shortener.
Have some part of the world’s work to
do. Be intere.sted in some constructive and
useful activity.
Work at your life by the day and not by
the job. Be satisfied with each day’s re
sults.
Poor digestion is often the result of wor
ry. Be happy! Be healthy! Have a defi
nite occupation, work faithfully at it, do
your best, and don’t worry.
Marjorie Cartland.
FRESHMAN SESSION ROOM
ENJOYS HALLOWE’EN PARTY
On Saturday evening, October 29th, at
the Y. W. C. A. Hut the first of the session
room socials took place when Room 3B met
in a Hallowe’en pai-ty. The boys and girls
were in costume, any adventurous, unusual
dress being deemed suitable for the occa
sion, from Red Riding Hood to the circus
clow'n. There was much fun in guessing
who the masked ones were, especially in the
ease of one who would speak no word. A
number of games directed by Miss Detwiler
(who with Misses Wine and Clegg were
the guest chaperones) was greatly enjoy
ed.
The refreshments, cream, apples, cider,
were in true Hallowe’en fashion, even the
favors representing “spooks”.
It was a very enjoyable party and each
guest departing wished that it might soon
happen again.
