FINE BRAND FOOTBALL
ON THEIR HOME HELD
Fayetteville Wins 12-0
On Friday afternoon, Sept. 29th,
at 3:30, the purple whirlwind made
its appearance against Fayetteville
for a friendly tussle over the “pig
skin,” which ended in a 12 to 0 vic
tory for Faye^teville. During the
first half is seemed that the purple
whirlwind would leave nothing but
devastation in its path. However,
the lads from Fayetteville managed
to receive new strength between the
halves and took a march down the
field for a touchdown.
Fayetteville’s end runs led by
Hull’s broken fiield running featured
Fayetteville’s attack.
Bobby Wilkins starred for G. H. S.
by his steady ground gaining and
spectacular tackling. Hull led Fay
etteville’s attack and was their star
ground-gainer, while Remsburg
backed his defense with amazing abil
ity.
Their second touchdown came near
the end of the game from a completed
forward pass and an off-tackle play.
The line-up was as follows:
G. H. S. Sellars, le; McIntosh, It;
Wrenn, Ig; Black, c; Hodgin, rg;
Jackson, rt; Burroughs, re; Swift, qb;
Harrison, Ihb; Wilkins, rhb; Green,

F. S. S. Barnes, le; Green, It; Shu-
ford, Ig; Harris, c; Caffee, rg; Aus
tin, rt; Fry, re; Hall, (capt.) qb;
McDiarmid, Vhb; JSfemsburg, rhb;
Brown, fb.
The time of the quarters was 13
minutes with 10 minutes between
halves.

LOIS DOBSON WINNER
Many Interesting Features
Mac Fadden, Davidson Star
Coaches Football Team
Mr. J. M. McFadden, coach of the
1922 football team, is a native of |
S. C., but after having lived at Dav
idson College for four years, is very '
much a North Carolinian.
While at Davidson, Meams Mac-
Fadden was not only a star football
player, playing for four years in the'
backfield on that always famous
fighting wildcat team, but along with
it, he was a real sport in playing the
game of college life as well as ath
letics. He made a letter in track,
went out for basketball and baseball,
was at one time president of the ath
letic assosiation and w'as, all in all,
a good allround student, averaging
92^/^ on all his work during the
senior year.
As for popularity, there were none
. in the class of ’22 who came up to
MacFadden. His start in Greens
boro is heralding that same position
here.
Mr. MacFadden almost signed to
teach at Winston this year, but
Greensboro is lucky to have the man
as its football coach who is going
to do all he can to beat Winston this
year.
In a swimming meet held at the
Y. W. C. A. Tuesday night, Sept. 26,
the honors were carried away by
Mis Lois Dobson with 49 points to
her credit. Miss Elizabeth Simpson
won second place with 27 points, and
Miss Eleanor Barton, third place with
20 points.
As this meet was the first of its
kind held for High School students,
it proved very interesting and ex
citing to both the contestants and
spectators, so splendid were the ex
hibitions of swimming and diving
that even the judges found it difficult
to name the winners.
A race the length of the pool and
back, starting with a dive from the
side, was the first event, the second
race on the back, the length of the
pool. These were followed by swim
ming for form. The side-under-arm
side over-arm. Old English over-arm,
trudgeon and crawl were skillfully
done. In the dive for distance Miss
Dahlia Schiffman, by plunging the
length of the pool for first place, won
much applause from the fans. The
last and probably most interesting
was the diving, in which each en
trant gave a standing and a run
ning front dive, a back and side
dive and two optionals.
The judges, themselves fine swim
mers and divers, were from the fac
ulty of the North Carolina College
for Women. They were Misses Em
ery, Campbell and Francis.
Winners of the individual events
were as follows:
In the race the length of the pool
and back, Dobson, first, 22 seconds;
Simpson, second, 23 seconds; Bar
ton, third, 24 1-4 seconds.
In the race on the back, the length
of the pool, Dobson first, 11% sec-
Since “High Life** has reach
ed the mature age of tivo years,
“the staff** feels that it should
be able to fill a larger place
than ever before, in G. H. S. and
in the State. It is our aim this
year to make “High Life** sur
pass former productions, to
make it so ivell balanced and
so progressive that it may be
used in coming years as a per
fect model—by which all other
papers may be judged.

“REELECTOR” AND "HIGH LIFE”
STAFFS ARE ALSO ELECTED
The first senior class meeting was
held in chapel Sept. 15. Miss Car-
lotta Johnson, who successfully lead
the class of ’23 through the junior
year, presided. The speakers for the
occasion were Mr. G. B. Phillips and
Miss Summerell. Mr. Phillips made
a speech which was very interesting
and to the point. He told the class
that many and great things were ex
pected of the seniors. He also pre
sented the following points, which,
if followed, would help fulfill the
many expectations of thjfc faculty,
school and community. His points
were to make the class a loyal, hon
est, happy, working, boosting and a
united class.
Miss Summerell, in her speech,
gave the duties of the different officers
as a whole. The meeting was then
turned over to the election of the of
ficers and a real, live, wide awake
election of the following offitcers
followed:

Purrington Back Again
The “High School Stringers” is
a musical organization composed of
pupils who play guitars, mahdolins,
banjos, ukeleles or other string in
struments. Much “pep” and a great
deal of interest is being shown by
the members. At the first meeing
fourteen students signed up.
Mr. Purrington was a visitor at'
G. H. S. Monday. The teachers and
pupils who knew him last year were
glad to see that he hadn’t changed
any, but was the same, from his cur
ly hair to his collegiate brogues. His
talk was the chief attraction of the
chapel.
Most of his speech was an exhor
tation to our dainty masculine ele
ment to exert their voices on the side
lines, if not their energies in the
scrimmage, and not leave the girls to
do all the cheering. He also told the
boys that he thought it was their
place to yell because theirs was the
right hand privilege to play that no
ble game, while the girls could only
look on.
He ended his oration by telling
everybody how glad he was to see
them and how sorry he was that he
couldn’t tell each of them “hello” in
dividually, but on account of his lim
ited time he couldn’t.
Mr. Purrington will be at Chapel
Hill this year where he will study
law. Part of his business will be to
lead the cheers on the side lines, and
we know that he could put pep in
even such an unenthusiastic vegetable
as a turnip.

COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT
OFFERS NEW FEATORES
Commercial Law Added
Under the supervision of Mr. Mu-
sick, who is the head of the Com
mercial Department, and Miss Scott,
his assistant, this department hopes
to advance more rapidly and put the
work on the map of the old G. H. S.
The commercial students have not
yet had their club meeting, but are
planning to do so at once. Through
this club we are endeavoring to build
up the standards of the Commercial
department.
The typewriting students have be
gun drills and tests preparing them
selves for the typewriting contest,
which is to be held some time in
May.. At the suggestion of Miss
Scott, they are also planning to ar
range for a shorthand contest next
spring. This is a contest we have
never had in the State.
There has been put into the course
of study, this year. Commercial Law,
which is taught by Mr. Musick. We
feel that this is a course that has
been needed for some time.
In the new High School building,
we expect to have a commercial de
partment unexcelled by any in the
South. During the current year a
thorough canvass of all the business
houses in the city will be made so
that the commercial department will
know just what machinery is being
used and just what the business man
may expect of a graduate of this de
partment. This will enable the de
partment to prepare its products to
become a vital part of the industrial
life of the city.
In addition to her regular train
ing, Miss Scott completed, in the
spring of 1922, an extension course
in typewriting at the College of the

HOLD BEST MEETING IN
ASSOCIATION’S HISTORY
Scholarship Founded
The High School Parent-Teacher
Association held its first meeting
Wed., Sept. 27, in the Auditorium.
In point of attendance it was one of
the outstanding meetings in the whole
history of this organization, there be
ing more than 'two hundred persons
present. Mr. Sprinkle opened the
Meeting with a prayer, after which
Mrs. R. Murphy Williams, the vice-
president, presided over a program
rich in interest. This included re
ports from various committees rela
tive to the plans for the year, a talk
by Mr. Phillips on the activities of
the High Schol, and a short talk by
Mr. Archer on the superintendent’s at
titude toward the moral and religious
training of our boys and girls.
In line with its interest in “all the
children of all the people,” the asso
ciation voted to establish a scholar
ship fund for the needs of any stud
ent who might be debarred from High
School for financial reasons.
The Social committee served delic
ious ice before the meeting, during
which time the mothers and teachers
renewed old friendships and formed
new ones through the tie of common
interest—the High School boys and
girls.

Grirls Show Up Well in
Tennis
High School Enrollment
Largest in History.
On the first of October, the enroll
ment of the High School was the larg
est of any previous year on that date.
All indications are that it will be the
largest enrollment for the year in the
history of the school. Already all
available space is filled and the
capacity of the school is taxed to its
I limit. There are 807 students regis
tered: 356 boys and 451 girls. The
I freshmen class, as usual, leads in
I numbers and the number in each
' class gradually diminishes as they
go up. Sophomores 255; juniors,
136, and seniors, 107.
Girls tennis at the High School
has been making remarkable prog
ress since the opening of school. It
is an established fact that several of
the girls from Greensboro are among
the best players in the State. This
fact was shown conclusively in the
recent state tournament held in;
Greensboro. The High School girls
who rhade a good showing in this
meet were: Elizabeth Simpson, Edna
Cartland, Helen Clapp, Carlotta John
son and Louise Smith.
Miss Adams has taken charge of
this branch of sport, and working
with her are several other High
School teachers. From all indica
tions, the High School team this year
will be eqqally as good as that of
last year.
The tournament, which has been
running for the past two weeks, has
been full of interest, on account of
its division into classes. The fresh
men and sophomores are in one fight,
and the juniors and seniors in the
other. In this way the class cham
pionship will be decided, as well as
the winners of the tournament.
Friday afternoon, by defeating Vir-
! ginia Jackson, ’2.5, 6-2, 6-1, Edna
; Cartland, ’24, became singles cham-
I pion of G. H. S.
1 Mr. Wells was the referee at this
i match.
AH sections of the United States
and many of the leading colleges and
universities are represented on our
faculty this year. With an unusually
large per cent of new members and
splendid ones back, who have taught
here before, we feel that our pros
pects for the coming year are bright
indeed. The Greensboro High School
faculty has a reputation to live up
to and we are sure that our present
one is as good as any in the country.
Of course, our old North State
heads the list in number of represen-
alives, having nineteen; Georgia
comes second with five and South
Carolina and Virginia have four each.

following teachers:
