Debating Program Will
Reach Number Students.
The policy to be followed by the
debating committee of the Greens
boro High School shall be the fol
lowing:
1. A continuance of the Debat
ing Club organized last year. The
aim of this organization is to do in
tensive work in the art of brief mak
ing and debating, as well as to train
its members in leadership. Through
this club we expect to produce some
capable debaters for the triangular
debate.
2. In the fall term the annual
Freshman-Sophomore debate shall be
held.
3. With the cooperation of the
History and English Departments a
monthly debate shall be held in each
History and English class. Inter
class debates will be developed in
this phase of the debating work.
4. The session room teachers are
asked to have occasional debates in
their own rooms. The committee sug
gests that these debates be held dur
ing the chapel period.
The debating committee is as fol
lows :
Kathryn Dorsett, chm; H; M.
Reaves, asst chm; Lillian Killings-
worth, Helen Robbins, Ada Viele, R.
C. Kiser and Hugh Lefler.
Publicity Committee
The purpose of the publicity com-
mittee is to see that each event or ac
tivity of the High School, which is
of any interest to the public, is report
ed to the local newspapers on time.
Through the secretary of each organ
ization the committee will be kept
posted.
The Greensboro Daily News has
offered space daily for High School
news. The Record will give in ad
dition a special space on Friday.
The High School is greatly indebted
to the local papers for this courtesy.

Social Committee Ideals
for 1922-1923
All normal people demand social
life. Hence the work of the social
committee is no insignificant task.
Recognizing the importance of this
committee, the need of worth while
and wholesom amusements for high
school boys and girls, the faculty
committee worked with a student so
cial committee. The work of the
ojint committee is stated in the fol
lowing aims and ideals for Greens
boro High School.
1. The social life is to be planned
so that each boy and girl may have
part in some social event during the
year.
2. Each social event with a list
of chaperones must be reported to
the chairman of the Faculty social
committee. This will prevent too
many socials coming together, and
will provide proper chaperonage.
3. Each sesion room may have
a party and a picnic during the year.
In each event, the session room teach
er will be responsible for entertain
ment and chaperonage.
4. Parties or entertainments may
be given to visiting teams, provided
the coach and a represenative from
the team notify the chairman of the
faculty social committee. This no
tice must be given at least two days
before. The student social commit
tee will be responsible for the enter
tainment of these events.
5. No party or social event shall
last longer than eleven o’clock.
6. The social committee 'shall
discourage mid-week parties, and
endeavor to have all social functions
come during week-ends. The com
mittee will not allow individuals or
groups leaving any school event be
fore it is over, to go any other place
than home.
7. Every social function coming
under the name of the High School
is to be held in the Y. W. C. A.
hut (which may be had every Fri
day and Saturday night) the school
building, or place approved by the
social committee.
Social Committee.
first thing we did was to go in swim
ming. After we had swum for about
half an hour all of us climbed up
a huge tree and had our picture taken.
After which we went in the woods
where we climbed trees. We brought
back wood for the campfire. About
6 o’clock the service girls prepared
the lunch while the rest roasted wee
nies. We started back home about
seven o’clock and after a day of
pleasure and fun we bade each other
good night.

Lee Street School Items
Ten forty-five in the morning is
the period looked forward to with
the greatest pleasure by the primary
children of the Lee Street School.
Unlike the recesses of a few years
ago, there are no stragglers hanging
around, no wall-flowers too timid tol
join in the activities of the more nor-[
mal children. No teachers are stand-!
ing about or sitting in the shade, j
waiting to settle the innumerable dis-!
putes, which are so inevitable under |
such conditions. j
Instead of such a scene of ques-'
tionable enjoyment by a few, every;
person on the ground is actively and |
profitably engaged in having a good;
time. Led by the teacher, each grade, i
occupying a different part of the [
yard, is vitally interested in putting i
into practice the games selected and i
presented by our play ground super-'
visor. I
In this way minds and bodies are,
not only being refreshed and invig
orated, but each child is learning to
participate with his fellows. He is
learning the laws, which are the bas
is for good citizenship, cooperation
and fair play.
Grirl Reserves Go to Camp:
Hicone j
The Girl Reserves of the West!
Lee Street School enjoyed a weenie}
roast at Camp Hicone Saturday after-1
non. Cars were provided for us, and
we got off prompt at 2:30 o’clock.;
The Chaperones were Mises Me-1
Auley, Boulwane and Barnet. We
were very glad to have Mr. and Mrs.
Williams go with us also. On the
way we told jokes and sang Girl Re-j
serve songs. After we arrived, the!
Lindsay Street School has begun
the new year with an enrollment of
553 pupils and (eighteen teachers.
We are fortunate this year in havin;
on our faculty two competent youn:
men, whose special field of work, out
side the classroom, will be with the
larger boys, inculcating the spirit of
fair play and training for the leader
ship.
One of the things of which Lind
say is proud is its auditorium. Here
the grammar grades meet twice a
week, and the primary grades once
a week, for opening eercises. On
Monday morning, an invitation is ex
tended to a minister or other person
of prominence to lead in our devo
tional exercises, which jt is the poli
cy of the school to hold daily, either
in the chapel or in each classroom
separately. On Wednesday morning,
after a devotional service led by Miss
Irvin, some grade gives a program
which shows some phase of its work.
Visitors are always welcome to these
exercises.
Great improvement has been made
in the library. Shelves have been
placed in the rear of the Auditorium,
and on them are 2,367 volumes. Some
of these form Lindsay’s quota of the
books given by Mr. Archer for a
school library. Year before last the
outgoing seventh grade donated $.30
to be spent for books. Last year’s
outgoing class raised $85 for the
same purpose. The Parent-Teacher
Association last year bent every ef
fort toward obtaining books, with the
result that approximately $450 was
spent by that organization to enlarge
our library. In addition to the
bound volumes, many of the leading
magazines and newspapers have been
subscribed for.
Desks have placed in the rear of
the Auditorium, so that the books and
magazines are now available for ref
erence use. We expect our library to
be a great aid to us in our work, and
any contributions will be gratefully
received. We hope for a material
increase of volumes when “Book
Day” arives.
The thrift banks are again in use.
The plan is to teach our children the
valuable lession of thrift.
October 2-9 is to be observed as
Fire Prevention Week. A committee
is at work planning a series of suit
able programs.
The Lindsay Street School Par
ent-Teacher Association has defin
itely set the first Tuesday in each
calendar month for its meetings. It
is hoped that the parents will meet
with the teachers; discuss with them
the child’s problems, progress, wel
fare, and n6eds. Parents and teach
ers will then have a mutual respon
sibility in making the school year
of 1922-1923 a worth while one in the
school life of each child. Visit the
schools frequently and observe the
work being done in the school room
and on the playground.
The teacher needs the parent’s co
operation, especially in' regard to
tardies, and absences. Our slogan is:
“Every child in school every day
and on time.”
Each student in High School has
forty-five minutes of ^recreation a
week. This period is devoted to
baseball, pin ball games, newcomb,
track and field, tennis and quoits.
Session rooms are assigned to the va
rious sports which are held on the
High School grounds and on the
Y. M. C. A. field on Washington St.,
under the supervision of H. W. Park,
assisted by some of the High School
teachers.
Mr. Phillips Gives Public
Plans
C Continued from pago 11
Since there are only six periods for
each student besides the chapel and
dinner periods, it is evident that a
reasonable amount of home study
is necessary. No student should get
up less than three subjects at home
each day. In some cases it would
be necessary to do more. Parents
should note this fact wdth care, con
stant vigilance in this respect will
tend to reduce failures.
Failures
The policy this year will be to give
students an opportunity to keep up
the work as they are now classified.
If, however, there is continued fail
ure, it will be necessary to take steps
to place the students where they can
do the work.
Boost your city, boost your fritnd-
Boost the lodge that you attend
Boost the street on which you’re
dwelling
Boost the goods that you are selling,
Boost the people round about vou
They can get along without you,
But success will quicker find them
If they know that you’re behind them.
Boost for every forward movement
Boost for every new^ improvement
Boost the man for whom you labor
Boost the stranger and the neighbor
Cease to be a chronic knocker,
Cease to be a progress blocker;
If you’d make your college better
Boost it to the final letter.—David-
sonian.
Monthly Reports
Each student is given a report for
the month on the 1st Wednesday af
ter the end of the school month. This
is supposed to be signed by the par
ent or guardian and returned the
next day. Parents should see that
their children bring that report in
promptly and that it is sent back.
Continued failures on this report
ought to bring about a visit to the
school for a conference with the prin
cipal and teachers who are anxious to
cooperate. The letter “D” is a fail
ure now instead of a “C—” as in the
past.

Care of Books
Each pupil is held responsible for
all books issued to him. It some
times happens that books are not lost
through carelessness, but in most
cases that is the reason. A lost book
must be paid for within three days
and the new book issued. It the
book is found later, a refund will be
made. Parents should impress upon
children the importance of caring for
school books and school property.
Complaints
While no one likes to hear com
plaints, the administrators ‘of the
High School are aware of the fact that
an organization of such size cannot
be operated without some mistakes
and misunderstandings. In view of
this fact it is very desirable that any
complaint of any nature should be
made to the proper authorities. The
Principal, through the very efficient
secretary in the office can always be
called about any matter of importance
to the pupils of the High School.
This secretary can in many cases clear
up matters with a very few words.
Communicating With Pupils During
School Hours.
Parents should not assume that a
pupil can be called to the phone at
any and all times of the day for va
rious matters. The school rule is
that no student may use the tele
phone m the office except in case of
an accident or other emergency, this
applies to both the matter of the stud
ent calling and to the parent calling
for the student.
Emergency messages only will be
tak^n and delivered by the secretary.
Section 3. Aivarding of Honors
1. Honors shall be awarded by
the athletic council and approved by
the scholarship committee.
2. Citizenship shall be decided
by the athletic council.
3. All star monogram must be ap
proved by the central committee
where the record is kept.

and a tournament held as a feature
of the Track and Field meet.
9th. Field hockey will be added
to the list of spring sports.
10th. In addition to the yearly
spring athletic meet a Tract and
Field meet will be held in November.
We challenge any school in the
State association to present better re
sults than ours from the training reg
ulations. The beneficial effects upon
the girls who w^re in training last
year has been a subject of comment,
both by the girls /.themselves and
their mothers, and a large number
have already signed up for training-
The association is pledged to main
tain the high standards of citizenship
set up by the council of last year.
No girl wdiose ideals are unworthy
can hope to be awarded honors.
In brief, the athlectic program for
the girls aims to reach each one m i
some way. It aims to develop whole- ,
some individuals, group and class
rivalry throughout the year, and when ^
wise, to use the skills’ thus developed .k
against schools in reach of Greens- ■j
(• •?
boro in clean inter-school contests.
