PARAGRAPHICS
Our faculty has been increased
by one—White.
When the students ask for a
greater abundance of food in the
Cafeteria; the management always
responds, usually, by diluting the
dish water a little more.
From what we can pick up; the
Winston Boys are adept with young
crowbars and- lead stingers as well
as the basketball.
If hash were served in the Cafete
ria there would be a logical reason
for the cleanliness of the afore men
tioned institution, but as it is not,
varous other conditions might be
reached.
her life to the building up and
forwarding of our high school and
as it is customary to dedicate the
annual to the person doing the most
for the school, it was rightly placed.
She was, according to one of her
old students, a “sure enough pillar
of the institution.” She will always
be a model to the teachers who
came in contact with her and an
inspiration to every student who
knew her.
MANDOLIN CLUB
If we could have another snow or
two the baseball team would have
a lot of pitchers to pick from, crack
shots too.
The human irresistible desire to
punch something has netted The
American National Bank $718.14 up
to date.
We feel flattered that the chapel
authorities have adopted our sugges
tion concerning the conduct of our
daily battle field, namely, that the
students be over-powered or subdued
before the admittance of visitors.
We understand that there is on
foot in the school a movement to
organize a Mandolin Club. We would
like to say that we don’t believe that
it can be a success unless it co-oper
ates with the school orchestra.
Such a club is very likely to play
too much “rag” and drift away from
.school activities, and of course the
school could not sanction any move
ment in the school which does not
pertain to it. This club working with
the orchestra and pepping up basket
ball games would be of some real
worth and an asset to the school.

THE ANNUAL’S DEDICATION
The Seniors have dedicated the
annual of *22 to Mrs. J. B. Mills (nee
Miss Frances Sutton). We feel that
they have done exactly right. We
feel that only could the value of
the dedication keep its true worth
of meaning by being so dedicated.
Mrs. Mills gave fifteen years of
A few days ago both annexes were
surprised by the summons to come
to chapel. This surprise proved to
be a talk on “Figures” by Admiral
Wright of the Confederate Navy.
He declared that “Figures” was
a very dull subject, but before he
was half through, both annexes were
straining their necks to see and hear
better. First of all he showed the
progress of the development of
Roman figures and followed that
with unusual things about Arithmetic.
By the time he finished, his talk
had been so interesting that every
one entirely disagreed with him
in saying that “Figures” was a
very dull subject.
INTERCLASS BASKETBALL
All boys who are planning to be
in the class basketball series would
do well to begin right now. The
teams will be picked in a very few
days, and the series will probably
begin next week. Evei’y afternoon
at four o’clock, practice is going
forward at the tobacco warehouse.
If you are anxious to play, come out
or see Mr. G. Phillips and let him
know that you are planning to come
out. Awards for the members of the
class teams will be made, also, lists
are being made at present for the
awards in class football. These
awards will be made just as soon as
possible.
C. W. Phillips
Suppose some country boys com-
■' ing up to Hiram’s qualifications,
should start in to school here this
semester. What do you reckon his
impression or impressions would
be? Let’s take some rube, well, not
necessarily a rube, but a country boy
who has finished an average well
controled country school.
We'll suppose that he is just look
ing the school over,
i He begins in Miss Gressit’s room,
I expect a few students in the school
have heard of her. She is holding
a Trigonometry class, sitting con
fidently erect, directing each move
of a group of entranced pupils,
spell bound by the flashes of mag
netism from a mathematical brain
which has rendered her cold brown
eyes the source of rays of hyp
notism far exceeding those of any
wizard. The unsophisticated mind
of the gentle rube is unable to keep
its equilibrium under the powerful
rays. He turns his attention to a
student at the board who is rat
tling off punctuations and al
gebraic equations like a walking
trigonometry book. Having Jbeen
dazed by both teacher and students,
at least some of them, he staggers
, out of the room at the ringing of the
bell, with a prickly sensation up
and down his spine and the de
termination never to open a trig
onometry book.
He blunders next into the library
not altogether responsible for his
actions. Finding that he is in a li
brary he quite naturally expects
peace and quiet at least. Well, any
one who has been in the library
knows what happened to him if he
is not down in one of the chairs
put there to be not in;,'..the fellow
lying in the one behind immediately,
as if wishing to favor him, wraps
or entwines his legs around the
, said rube’s waist for a foot rest,
; producing a very comfortable effect
for the rube.
: Provided he has not been totally
blinded or asphyxiated by the fly
ing powder and vapors - irom ex
tracts of the Lord knows what,
which are emanating from a group
j of the school belles in front of him
he sneaks out.
Finally after having passed
through the trials and dangers of
a few more classes he winds up at
the last period in chapel in which,
I am sorry to say, is being held a
study period, I am sorry in that you
like to finish .any thing with a
pleasant taste in your mouth. As
he enters continuously through the
doors a piece of chalk zumes by,
but as he doesn’t recognize the
sound and as ignorance is bliss, cer
tainly in this case, he proceeds on
in and finds a seat. After hearing
some more zuming sounds and see
ing their conclusions in the fonn
of powdered chalk on the seat next
to him, he realizes what has been
missing him. However he spends
the rest of the period ducking and
praying for the luck to continue.
' Hearing a peculiar hee-haw proceed
from the mouth of a particularly
wise energetic looking boy he arrives
at the conclusion that he must have
been sti*uck in a vital spot. Desir
ing to tender his deepest sympathies
; to the holder of the study period
he inquires his name of the student
' adjacent to him. On learning that
the man’s name is White, he won
ders if it has always been that or
just lately changed to do away with
too much contrast.
This period finishing the day, the
.student,s head is filled with such a
conglomeration of ideas that he will
have to look over them to know what
he really thinks of the school.

OAK RIDGE OVERPOWERS
GREENSBORO 28 TO 25
On last Friday, Feb. 3, the Greens
boro High School basket ball team
' journeyed over to Oak Ridge for a
game of basketball with the Oak
Ridge quintet. Oak Ridge emerged
the victor by the score of 28 to 25.
Coach Parks ran his first string
men during the first half and Oak
Ridge was completely outclassed al
though the Oak Ridge lads never
' failed to fight. In this half Daniel
and Sebum deserve special mention.
Daniel did specially good foul shoot
ing, caging three out of three throws.
Sebum caged three field goals during
this half. For Oak Ridge the playing
of Wood stands out. This man shoot
ing over half of his teams total
. points in this half. The half ended
with the score 18 to 10 in Greens
boro’s favor.
In the second half the second team
; men were sent in. The scrubs could-
; n’t hold the Oak Ridge team and
: were snowed under by a large score.
In the last 2 or 3 minutes the first
string men were sent in to save the
(lay but were unable to overcome Oak
Ridge’s lead. Goodwin did good
work for the second squad scoring
I the 5 points that the second team
managed to make. Hood and Potts
' did good work for Oak Ridge during
i this period. The game ended with
the score 28 to 25 in Oak Ridge’s
favor.

FRESHMAN OFFICERS ARE IN
PRODUCED IN CHAPEL
PROGRAM
MISS LITCHFORD OF N. C. C. W.
OFFERS ART COURSE IN
G. H. S.
Among the other extra courses
• that are being offered this semester
i is the art course. Miss Litchford
of the N. C. C. W. has charge of the
classes which meet 3 times a week at
the first and second periods. This
art instruction is primarily offered
! to the Freshman class but exceptions
are made for those in other classes
especially desiring work in this
phase. It is stated that poster work
is to be one of the main projects.
The Freshman Class is quite
pleased with its staff of officers and
especially since it is now better ac
quainted with them. The means of
getting acquainted was furnished
when on Thursday, Feb. 2, the follow
ing officers were introduced in chapel.
President, Jack Causey; vice pres
ident, Wendell Clem; secretary,
Garnet Gregory; Treasurer, Eliza
beth Stone.
The progam started with a song
followed by a Bible reading and
prayer. The officers were then intro
duced and each declared his or her
intentions in fulfilling the duties of
a class officer and rendered thanks
for the election.
It seems that they have .started
out to reach the goal inasmuch as
they acted independently in getting
up their part of the program.
“Jimmy, can you give me a sen
tence with 'defense' in it?”
*'Yes’m,” answered Jimmy. "De
cat is on de fence.”

“Is your watch all right, now?”
“No, but it’s gaining.”
What became of that girl you
made love to in the hammock? We
fell out.
“Did you vote the Republican
ticket, last election?”
“No.”
“Well, somebody did.”
I took my mother-in-law to see
a funny comedy the other day, and
she nearly died laughing. (I’m going
to take her again tomorrow.)
When you were crossing the street,
did you ever stop to think?
Yse. and I went to the Hospital
three months for stopping.
I once had a rooster by the name
of Robinson, but I killed him.
Why?
Because he crew so.
Sam: I have got a brother that
played upon the Piano when he was
four years old.
Bill: That’s nothing, I played upon
the floor when I was a year old.
“And what did you most enjoy' in
France, madam?” he enquired of the
lady whose husband had made a
great deal of new money.
“Well, I think it was the French
pheasants singing the ‘Mayonnaise.’”
A farmers son who had gone to
college wrote back and told his father
he was learning how to fence. Wflien
the father received the letter from
his son he was overjoyed and said:
■’Good for Hiram, when he comes
back on his vacation I’ll have him
put a new fence around the barn.”
