“OUR SCHOOL LIFE.”
When the age of six breaks over us
And we prepare to go
To the first grade of our school life.
Our hearts begin to glow.
We are frightened by our teachers,
Who are sometimes fond and dear,
They wrap us up on leaving
And di*y our salty tears.
When we reach the third stage.
We begin to realize, more and more
Ihat school life is not exactly
What it was—three years before.
When we get as far as grammar
school,
We think we’re the whole cheese;
But once we’re turned across the
chair—
We again get busy as bees.
When we get our diplomas,
And on to High School go;
We begin to realize, more and more,
That school life is better than the
years before
And when we get to be seniors.
All powerful, strong, and large,
We begin to look into the future,
For soon we sail away on life’s
barge.
EDITORIAL
So let us be up and doing,
All, as pupils, that we can;
Tc make our future, more successful,
And make for the world, a bigger,
better, man.
—Philip Jeffi'eys.
BOYS AND GIRLS OF THE CITY SCHOOLS

In our opinion it will pay you to investigate our Fall and Winter

and learn the prices which are just as attractive as the styles. No
use talking THERE IS NO BETTER PLACE TO BUY SHOES

DEATH OF MR. ALBRIGHT
Defects in the construction of the
compressed air tank caused it to ex
plode in the establishment of the
Dixie Sales Co. last Wednesday
morning which resulted in the in
stant death of Mr. J. Ed Albright, a
well known and beloved citizen of
this city.
He was a success measured by any
rule and standard. He founded a
happy home, supreme in his affec
tions and the live of his noble sons
and daughters.
He made himself a citizen with a
civic pride that found expression in
all forms of public betterment in
city and state. He created a busi
ness guarded it with his honor and
integrity, and his industry won for
him a tair competence of material
rewards.
He found his highest happiness in
Christian worship and his influence
will be felt for years among those
who knew him best.
Greensboro High School mourns
the loss of such a loyal friend, always
one of its most loyal supporters.
WAKE FOREST ORATIONS
As the time approaches for the
holding of the Annual Inaer-scholas-
tic Declamation Contest at Wake
Forest we should begin thinking
about the .boy that will represent
G. H. S.
Last year Hoyt Boone represented
us and made a very fine showing.
This contest is a big thing and the
prizes are worth working tor. Every
boy in the High School should try
for this contest and show his school
spirit.
BACK YOUR TEAM.
We can’t prophecy' just “to the
letter” what will happen tonight at
the y. M. C. A., but we can come
pretty near it. Friday night at
7:30 the girls’ basket-ball team of
the Greensboro High School will meet
two teams, one from Wir.ston and one
from Raleigh. This is a thing we’ve
never done before, have two teams
playing in the same night The
girls are in good trim although
they haven't had but one week of
varsity practice- If we don’t get beat
there’ll be a great victory for G. H.
S.! Get behind your team.
ATHLETIC CONFERENCE.
At the state school meeting held j
recently in Raleigh, groups of teach
ers interested in girls’ athletic ac
tivities met in conference. Mr. Phil
ips acted as the chairman of this
conference, and there was much heat
ed discussion. The main, topic dis
cussed was that of broadening the
athletic field of activities for girls.
A call went out for a detail discus
sion of this serious question. That is
why and how a group of about ten
people met in the High School build
ing several weeks ago. Seven schools
from over the state were represent
ed. Mr. Philips was chosen presi
dent of the convention, Mr. Mitchen-
er of Raleigh, vice president, and
Miss Morrow, head of our girls’ ath
letics as secretary and treasurer.
The first meeting of the conference
was held on Friday night and at
this meeting our point sistem, work
ed out so thoroughly under the
dilligent guidance of Miss Mary
Morrow, was read and discussed.
Our constitution was read also. Four
committees were appointed, one to
work out a point system for all
the schools, using our system as a
basis; second to draw up a general
constitution for all the schools; third,
to work out aa local constitution,
with oui; constituion as a guide
fourth to discuss and draw up some
state regulation rules for basketball.
At eleven-thirty on Friday night the
meeting adjourned with the deter-
minaiton to meet Saturday morning
and finish up everything.
Saturday morning after the com
mittees had met for some time the
conference was called together.
Each subject of each committee wa.s
discussed and decided upon. The
point system cannot be discussed in
detail here; the main thing decided
was that for the first two hundred
poi.'^s a school letter should be
awarded, and for the four hundred
a state letter. It may also be stated
here that our letter designs were
accepted. A general constitution was
accepted and our constitution was ac
cepted as the local constitution. There
was hot discussion over the basket
ball regulations but they were final
ly adopted. From now on centers
are not allowed to shoot,—two di
vision court must be used, and Spald
ing rules also; all inter-school games
must be completed at the beginning
of March to make way for the
championship series.
Girls, aren't you beginning to ap
preciate your instructors more anil
more each day? Such persons as
Miss Morrow and Mr. Philips are not
to be found in every school. Only
by whole-hearted determination to
help the girls in the Greensboro
High did Miss Morrow' put across
b.er point system. Only by his
unusual perseverance did Mr. Phillips
conduct those meetings as a credit
to the Greensboro High School.
FURNACE TROUBLE CAUSES DE
LAY IN OPERATLNCr SCHOOL
Probably the great misunderstand
ing about the delay of the grates or
the addition of three days to the
holidays *can be explained in a few
words.
The grates which we used the
first of the year needed a few repairs
so a plumber was notified at the
beginning of the holidays. He came
immediately and instead of repairing
the grates they were broken up.
These grates were not missed until
Thursday before school started on
Monday. A promise was given to
have the grates here by Saturday
night or Sunday morning and that it
w'ould take only an hour to put
them in. They were ordered to be
sent by express. On Monday the
grates had not come but a bill of
lading was received stating that the
gratqs had been shipped by freight.
A wire was sent again for the
grates were shipped by express.
These arrived at four o’clock Thurs
day morning and installed so that we
all found a warm building on Thui^-
day at 8:30.

"None,” said father decisively.
