OUR EATING PLACE
Since we have good service at the
cafeteria and plenty of time to get
our lunch and eat it, we should guard
against the confusion in the lines.
We should keep in mind that our
visitors take notice of the way we
conduct ourselves in our lunch room.
In the cafeterias down town we do
not find confusion or loud talking.
It is more like our homes. And,
after finishing our meal, we do not
find trays scattered over the floor.
Now that we have nice, new trays,
let’s keep them nice.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT
The one big thing that should be
in every high school in America to
day, is student government. Why
should it be necessary to debate and
argue whether it is best to have
student Government? It has ben
necessary heretofore to listen day in,
and day out to perpetual “don’ts”
There is no doubt that these “Don’ts”
have been necessary, but every stud

CHARLOTTE DEFEATS G.
31 to 36
H. S.
The Greensboro High School bas
ket hall quint lost to the Charlotte
team, Feb. 8, by the score of 31 to
36. The game was played in the
local Y. M. C. A. which was well
crowded. W. E. Giles’ All Southern
Syncopaters entertained before the
game and between the halves.
The game started off with Greens
boro rushing and all during the first
half it looked as though the Gate City
lads had the game. Daniels tallied
freqeuntly making 3 field goals dur
ing the first half. Henderson for
Greensboro made some pretty shots
from near the center of the floor.
Harrell for Charlotte did most of his
team’s scoring during this period
with 2 field goals and five foul goals
to his credit. Brown also showed ud
well for the Queen City Boys. The
first half ended with the score 19 to
13 in Greensboro’s favor.
In the second half the game took
on a different aspect with the Queen
City hoys playing aggressive ball-
The Queen City boys did some beau
tiful work during the last half and
due to their consistent shooting they
crept up and overcame Greensboro’s
lead and when the half ended they
were shown to be on the big end
of a 36 to 31 score.
Bill: I believe I will run for class
president next term.
Dick: Well you better go out to the
fairground race track and practice up.
In the tardy room.
Miss Wiley: Charley go see what
time it is.
Charley, after looking: Yes’m it’s
half past four.
^ Miss Wiley going to be sure: Why
its only four o’clock!
Charley: It doesn’t do any good to-
lie to that teacher.
