MINUTE
The game of basketball between the
Greensboro Highs and Danville Highs,
Wed., Feb. 1. w’as probably the
greatest and most interesting game
that was ever witnessed by the
public. The game was played in
Greensboro and was witnessed by a
fairly large crowd. The game was
as close as it possibly could be,
Greensboro keeping the lead by a
point throughout the game until at
the very last moment when the game
seemed within our grasp—Bang! went
the whole works when one of
Danville’s guards rolled one basket in
and left the score 20 to 21 in Dan
ville’s favor.
The first half was a great exhibi
tion of basketball. Both teams dis
played some of the most beautiful
passing that can be imagined. Every
man played the game for all it was
■worth and they played it cleanly too
which fact can be seen from the
number of personal fouls made. Brit
ton starred for Greensboro in this
period, the fast little fonvard making
some beautiful plays. Williams for
Greensboro was the outstanding star
of th^ game. The little guard
seemed to put his whole self in tbe
game and when it seemed that one of
Danville’s men was about to shootl
a goal “Knot” would be on the spot
and the forward’s w’ell directed shot
was nipped in the bud. Enwvight
staiTed for Danville in this half
making several good plays. The
half ended with the score 11 to 12
in Greensboro’s favor.
The second half was just as good
as the first. In this period Greens-
loro continued to keep one point in
the lead and until the last half
minute the score w'as 20 to 19 in the
Gate City lad’s favor. Then came
Martin with his goal and put the
game over for Danville, for just then
the final whistle tooted. Daniels
siarred for Greensboro in this half,
tipping a basket in from a held ball
near the foul line, in one instance.
As was said before Williams con
tinued to cover himself wdtli glory
in this period. Martin and Emerings
starred for Danville.

In that attractively concise form of
' expression, which belongs to him
: alone, Dr. Moss of Chapel Hill, in
• his address to the High School Thurs-
: day, gave his ideas of what a man
j is and can be. “.A man is himself,”
he said, “plus his community. Every
. man has two positions—to be himself
and to build up his community.” His
belief is that the bigger man is the
man who can do the bigger thing—
give up himself for his community.
' He continued this thought with the
I .story of Edward Tilder Graham,
, “a real man,” he declared, “who gave
i up his individual choice cf each,
I to read, and most of all to write in
' order that he might lay down his
' life to make the world safe for de
mocracy.” Phillip Brooks w'as another
' of those men who accepted the big
ger call, to give up his desire to
■ stay with old Trinity and become
' Bishop. “Most of us” he said, “are
i one-talented folks. If you have
■ to be a hod-carrier in this work of
building your state, be the right kind.
: If you can only lay a few bricks,
I lay them well. And above all when
' you fall down or your project falls
I down, don’t be like them in the Gar-
1 den of Eden! Stop blaming the
j other person and put the blame
where it belongs—on yourself.”
Dr. Moss’s original expressions
have that adhesive quality that makes
' them stick in the minds of his
hearers—and we believe that the im
pressions left on one’s mind, shape in
I a large measure what we are in life.

BEFINITE ATHLETIC
P80GMM FOR GIRLS
Point System Adopted for Girls’
Athletics
For some time there has been felt
among high school authorities the
need for a more definite plan for
athletic activities for girls. There
have been more or less spasmodic
attempts at encouraging games for
girls. Each school proudly boasts
a few girls who go out for some
special form of athletics, but so far
nothing has b«len done to meet the
demands of the girls not on special
iteams, that is, a few get special
training, the mass have been left
without the needed encouragement.
At the Teacher’s Asseciation in
Raleigh in November, this need was
discussed and a committee was ap
pointed with Mr. G. B. Phillips, of
(Centinued on page 3)
The prospects for the coming
baseball season seem to be of the
brightest. The team has suffered
the loss of only 4 regular players
and these holes can be filled up by a
wealth of ready material. The pitch
ing staff has not been broken in‘o
by'gi’a'duation and the team bids fair
to have one of the best pitching
staff in years. Mr. Chas. Phillips, a
man who has had much experience
in baseball, has been decided oft for
coach. The whole school feels
that under the guidance of Mr.
Phillips and Bruce Green, who has
been elected captain, we will have
a team which will give anyfdn the
state a hard fight for the champion
ship. Mr, G. B. Phillips has ordered
a large amount of equipment and is
expecting its arrival in time for the
coming practice which will start about
March 1. Leonard Temko, as manager
has been working on a schedule for
the trips. He is planning a western
trip to Asheville which will extend
over a period of 5 days and also a
3 day trip to Charlotte. Summarizing
everything, the Greensboro High
School team seems to have every
thing necessary for the winning of
the state championship.
Of only one thing nothing has
been said and that is the school spir
it which has never been known to
fail and which everyone feels sure
will not fail in the coming baseball
season. So, everybody together and
push for another cliampiosship to
add to old G. H. S. laurels.

Debating Club of the Greensboro
High School enjoyed an interesting
^d highly instructive talk on the
League of Nations by Miss Harriet
Elliott of the faculty of the N, C.
C. W. The meeting was held in the
High School Library which was filled
with a goodly number of interested
participants of the coming triangle
debate of which the League of Na-
tion.s; is the topic.
Miss , Elliot took up the question
from both sides and although stress
ing the point that she was in favor
of the League of Nations she gave
same excellent points for both sides.
She said that the greatest point for
the negativ'e was the fact that the
entire League was an assumption and
that nothing could be proved about
it until it had actually come to be
a fact. She mentioned several points
for the affirmative but her discus
sion on this side was based on the
fact that the League of Nations was
sound in principle and necessary to
the welfare and peace of the world.
During the course of the address
several members of the debating
club brought up a discussion of the
question and after a short while the
meeting had turned into an open
forum with Miss Elliot at the head.
The whole Leagrue was gone over
and thoroughly discussed and at
about 9 o’clock the meeting broke up
with eack member feeling greatly

talk.

ENGLISH OEPI. ENTERFAINEO
BY MISS rJLLINGSWORIH
Miss Killingsworth. head of the
English Department, some days ago
invited her corps of teachers to meet
at the Guilford Soda Shop for a
social hour. The purpose was two
fold—a plan to combine business and
pleasure. The ground covered during
the term just passed was reviewed
and work for the coming semester
outlined. Each teacher gave some
personal experience and contributed
to the general plan for closer cor-
rellation of the work of the depart
ment.
Besides the English teachers,
Misses Dorsett, Russell, Killingworth,
Clegg, and Mr. Purrington, Mr.
Chas. Phillips, Mr. G. B. Philips and
Mr. Leonard were present.
The hot chocolate, sandwiches, and
wafers w'ere very much enjoyed.
The Greensboro High School quin
tet was beaten by the Woodrow
Wilson High School from Portsmouth,
Va., Thursday, Jan. 26, by the score
of 31 to 29 in Greensboro. The
game was exceptionally well played
on both sides, Portsmouth having the
edge on Greensboro for long distance
shooting.
The first half was a good exhibi
tion of basketball by both teams play
ing good ball, but Portsmouth putting
out a classier and fancier game.
Daniels and Sebum starred in this
period for Greensboro while Garrett
took off the honors on his side.
Greensboro played steadily through
out their half and showed that they
vere not at all outclassed. The
period ended with the score 21 to 15
in Portsmouth’s favor.
In the second half Greensboro out
played Portsmouth and scored 14
points to their 10 but Portsmouth’s
margin of 6 points at the end of
the fir.st half kept her in striking
distance and near the end of the
game one of her playei's caged a
long shot which gave them the game.
Greensboro was tied with Portsmouth
until that long shot which brought
the score from 29 to 29 to 31 to 29
in Portsmouth’s favor. The game
ended with the score in those figures.
Daniels and Britton starred for
Greensboro in this half while Perry
caged 2 field goals for Portsmouth.
Garrett shot 4 fouls out of 4 chances.

BANKING COURSE PLACED IN
SCHOOLS BVNATIONAL BANK
At the beginnning of the new
semester a banking course was put
into the high school. Representatives
fj’om the American Exchange Nation
al Bank are giving this course and
are furnishing all the equipment.
This course is principally for the
Juniors and Seniors and especially
for the commercial pupils. The
course should be very beneficial to
1he thirty pupils who have started
taking it. The first project they
are going to undertake is to organize
a first national bank in the high
school with a president, clerk, direc
tors, etc, Mr. Spradlin and Mr,
.Arrowood are teaching this course
and they think that anyone who
graduates from it ought to be able
to take a position in any of the
branch banks that are being organiz
ed in this state. We feel that this
course is going to be a great help to
the school and we hope that this U
just a beginning of a bigger coopera
tion with the various business con
cerns.
