GAME OE T«E
G. H. S. Makes Many Errors, But
Plays Fast Game. Cooper
Pitches Well.
Greensboro High School in prob
ably playing its best game' of the
season, held the Carolina Freshman
to the score of 4 to 2 Apr. 8, at
Chapel Hill. The G. H. S. infield
although making plenty of errors
played a fast game of ball repeated
ly catching men off the bays.
The Freshmen scored first in the
first canto by a double by McCauley,
a single by Gibson and eiTor on the
third baseman’s part which enabled
them to catch up 2 marches. After
this Cooper tightened up and they
failed totally again until the sixth
when they crossed the i*ubber once
on a triple by Starling and an error
by the rightfielder. They scored
again in the seventh on a single by
Glass and a double by Starling.
Greensboro got threes in the 2nd and
5th. They crossed once in the 2nd by
2 walks and a sacrifice hit by
Swift, and once in the 5th by a host
of errors by the Carolina third
baseman. After this Herebee tigh-
ened up as did his team mates and
Greensboro failed to score again.
Herebee for Carolina pitched brill
iantly letting Greensboro down with
2 bingles. He sent 12' G. H. S.
warriors back to the bench via the
strike out route and issued only
three free passes. Cooper for
Greensboro also pitched well while
Block for Greensboro got a single
out of two times up. Starling swung
a heavy bludgeon for Carolina con
necting up for a single, double, and
triple out of 4 times up.

EBESNMEN TO STAGE EATIN
The Freshman clasc is planning to
give a Latin pageant sometime soon.
The pageant is for the purpose of
showing how Latin has helped the
molei’n language, and to awake in
the pupils a greater appreciation of
that tongue.
The whole pageant is dramatized
around the one word duco (meaning
the leadj and its derivatives. It
begins with Mother ducere who re
views the history of Rome from the
beginning to the fall.
The pageant shows its influence
of Latin on the language of our
sister nations by giving us some of
the French, Italian and Spanish
words derived from Latin. Some
of the derivatives iised in the pa
geant are producer, educator, irre
ducible and educible. After the pa
geant the class will sing America
in Latin.
—Howard Rider.

For the first time in the his
tory of Greensboro High School
the Freshman class has put out
an issue of High Life. It was
not boldness or over-confidence
that made us do it; but simply
tha.t it had not been done before
and we were challenged. This
Freshman issue is our answer.
It may not compare ivith the
work of our elders; it may not
even represent the best that we
are capable of (though much
work has been done, and each
pupil's representation has been
dearly earned) yet it does re

veiy deep and wide branch.
We had more than we could eat,
but we felt that we could sympa
thize with the Ancient Mariners,
because there was, “Water! water!
everywhere but not a drop to drink.”
Two of the boys finally discovered
a small store where they obtained
a sufficient supply of cold drinks,
which we were all glad to get, for
we had been without for several
hours.
After taking several pictures we
turned our steps homeward.
Our only difficulty on the way
back was crossing the same branch..
Our hero, Rufus Hiatt, climbed up
the bank and began his task of
pulling them up one by one. Miss
Detwiler, the first one to be pulled
up was almost to the top when
Rufus’ foot slipped and down she
came, and all the work had to be
done over. One by one we reached
the top in isafety. There it was
Miss Roach’s turn. Extra help was
required for her but she got to the
top at last, thanks to the strong
arms of several of the boys.
Another disaster! One of the boys
ate too much and couldn’t come to
school next day!

of the pins.

been directed by Miss Kate Dorsett
and Miss Edna Tyre and the rates
are entirely by high school pupils.
Robert Irvin, of the High law-Jack-
and Game” of Swashbucklers, the re-
doubtible Miles himself is one of the
strongest chai'acfcers of t(he play.
Immensely proud of himself his
army, and Julius Caesar, The Cap
tain Miles Standish should be one of
the hits of the play.
Priscilla the beauty of old Plym
outh and intensely feared and bored
by the gruff old captain is por
trayed by Mildred Leak- . Priscilla
has a- will of her own when it comes
to the question of matrimony, though
she a.sserts this will in such a. quiet
way that it is scrrcely noticed at
fil’St.
John Alden is well taken care of
by Neal Jones. As the scribe and
wooer of Prscilla, John is booked
to be quiet, gentle, true. His fight
to shield himself and Priscilla, and
still remain true to his captain form
ore of the main interests of the
play.
Pete Pierce, as Elder Brewster
takes the part of chief Gloom pro
ducer and joy killer of the play.
He is the ruling Elder of the young
colony at Plymouth.
Erasmus, a soldier of the Caesar-
like captain coupled with his abso
lute desolute life'—he kisses a pretty
girl on her ruby lips—are the in
teresting qualities of Erasmus.
Katonka, a fair Indian maid who
is vamped by the neat Miles Stand
ish, is portrayed by Gray Fetter.
MissFetter has had experience in
Indian parts before having taken
part in an Indian show in the Mardi
Gras last fall.

father of the fair Katonka completes
the list of chief characters. In ad
dition, to these, there is a cast of
fifty more people in chorus and
maid and men of the colony.

furnished by a high school orchestra
composed of Mildred Little, James
Wilkins, Harld Grantham and Kathe

Miss Clegg’s fifth period English
class held a very interesting and
lively discussion, Wed. -Apr. 12, on
the subject of the New Station.
The majority of the pupils were
in favor of the station, and brought
up many interesting points. Among
the most important ones were these:
(a) That Greensboro needs the new
station and should take this op
portunity for getting it.
(b) that the Southern is one of the
greatest systems in our country
and that we should not be afraid
to lend them our money.
(c) Labor will be provided for men
now unemployed.
(d) A new attractive station will
make a good impression on peo
ple passing through Greensboro,
since a person’s first idea of the
town is gained by the appear
ance of the station. More peo
ple will make their home here.
Opposing points were.
(a) That the Southern is on the
verge of banknjptcy and that
such a loan would be a great
risk on one’s part.
(b) As for providing work for un
employed, quite as much labor
might be used to fix up the
streets and that this would be
more expedient at this time.
Many other interesting points were
brought up and altogether it was
an interesting debate and discussion.

R. D. DOUGLASS ON CITIZENSHIP
Mr. Robert D. Douglass made a
veiy interesting as well as helpful
talk in the auditorium last Tuesday
on Citizenship. He said although
we were not old enough to vote,
we should decide on which side we
would vote if we were allowed to, in
some of the big problems of today
that confronts our country. We
should be interested in such great
things as the Soldier’s Bonus, the
Textile Mill Strike and the Coal
Miner’s Strike, read up on them in
newspapers and current magazines
so we will be well posted. We should
always be informed on both sides
of a question too.
He made the point clear that
it is the duty of every man and
woman to vote and vote intelligently.
His idea was that if one didn’t
vote in one election they shouldn’t
be allowed to vote in the next. We
live in a democracy where govern
ment, is the people. They ought to
be interested enough to make their
own laws.
Mr. Douglass highly praised the
Civic Department of Greensboro
High School; saying that it was
here that the principles of good
citizenship were learned.
