G H S
DESPITE HARD TUSSLE
Williams Kicks Field Groal
After displaying a rush that lit
erally swept W. H. S. off its feet
in the first half the Greensboro line
weakened in the second half and
Winston had scored three touch
downs before the local line could
hold them.
G .H .S . kicked off to start the
game; Winston was held for downs
and were forced to punt. Then—it
was that G. H. S. began a series
line plunges, end runs, and off-
tackle plays that carried them to
the 5 yard line. There, on the
fourth down, Williams was called
back to drop kick. He sent the ball
straight through the goal post for
three points that put G. H. S. ahead
in the score column with the score
3 to 2, Winston making 2 points
on a safety just a few minutes be
fore Williams’ drop-kick- Winston
then kicked off and Greensboro was
forcing its way down the field with
a powerful attack that the exper
ienced Winston line could not stop,
but here G. H. S. fumbled and Win
ston recovered. With the aid of two
forward passes and one or two line
plunges» Winston carried the ball
over for a touchdown. Hampton
kicked goal for the extra point. The
first half ended with the score of
9 to 3.
In the second half G. H. S. did
not show the fight ^ind attack that
Sf.- hud in the firsi part of the
game. Winston, through end runs
and forward pases, scored three
touchdowns, ending the game 29 to :
3.

MR. ARCHER INSPIRES FRESH- FIELD DAY BIG SUCCESS-
MEIUDYS AND GIRLS
; Speaks in Chapel Exercises
On Thursday, October 26th, the
Freshmen were glad to welcome
Mr. Archer to conduct their chapel
exercises. He chose as his Scrip
ture selection the story of the young
rich man who went to Christ .with
the question, “Master, what good
thing must I do to be saved?” and
in his talk Mr. Archer compared the
problem of the young man with
the problem of the boy today.
He said that he felt sure that
the young man was a counterpart
of a High School student who was
a leader among his fellow stud
ents—one with initiative, snice he
'vas willing to do something a lit
tle different from those things
which all the rest were doing;
one who was interested in doing
liie right thing, since he took tlie
trouble to come to Jesus with his
queslioii; one who was law-abiding,
since he had kept the command
ments from his youth up: and one
who was attractive in personality,
since Jesus, looking iqjon him,
loved him.
This young fellow’s question was
'he most momentous question wtiich
anv young man can ask of Christ—
‘What can T do to be like Jesus?”
and the answer is still, as it was
given to him hundreds of years
ago, that there i.s no short cut, but
t'uil the ten commandments must
be kept.
In speaking of Christ’s instruc-
ti. n the yoonff man to give his
all to feed the poor,^ Mr. Archer
I'longbt out the idea of unselfish-
scrvice, with the thought of olbets '
1 rst in mind.
In conclusion, he said that the
tiling which sent the young man
awav sorrowful was the same tiling
A-hich so often kept us from follow
ing cur hes. inelinalions—the fear
of not standing in wuth the crowd.
And in urged us to stand Uarless-
Iv lip !>t tl.c 'king which we know
to be right. :.nd against whuh we,
know to 1"' wrong.
A PARENT’S MESSAGE
NAOGHTY FACDETY BEAT UP
TIMID LITTLE SCRUBS
mW BY G .H. S.
“Dude” Sellars Plays Well
The purple whirlwind turned
loose again last Saturday and licked
the hefty Lincolnton bunch of pig
skin chasers 13 to 6. The game
was a scene of many fumbles for
both sides. “Dude” Sellars was the
unchallenged champion of the day,
playing at left half for Greens
boro .and although he made some
fumbles he played pretty football.
He was especially good at break
ing up passes. Kistler did the
stellar stunt for Lincolnton, pick
ing up a fumble and running 60
yards for a touchdown in the first
three minutes of play.
In the first quarter G. H. S.
made steady gains through the line.
Most of these gains were over left
tackle with Green and Burroughs
opening holes. Lincolnton soon
got on to this and reinforced that
point
The sensation of the day came
on the second quarter. “Ike” Wrenn
left guard, broke up a punt and
“W’illie” Green recovered and ran

To Faculty and Parents Phillips Brothers Heroes
On Friday, October 27, “Fathers’
night” was observed at G- H. S.
Mr. W. C. Jackson from N. C .C.
W. presided at the meeting.
The principal speaker of the ev
ening was Dr. N. W. Walker, dean
of education at the state university.
Mr. Jackson in a most gracious
manner presented Mr. Walker to
the large audience which was com
posed of the patrons of the school.
Dr. Walker in his speech stressed the
impartance of leadership of small
groups in the High School and
urged the fathers and mothers to
know beyond question the charac
ter of the leader of the groups of
which his or her child was a mem
ber.
The hearty applause which greet
ed our principal, when Mr. Jack-
son mentioned him as the next
speaker proved how glad the fath
ers and mothers were to have him
on the program. ‘ Mr. Phillips
spoke briefly on the aims and ambi
tions of G. H. S. He emphasized the
fact that the happy boy or girl in
G. H. S. is the boy or the girl
who is doing honest work.
Mr. Jackson closed the speeches
by urging the fathers to do as the
mothers had done by becoming
members of the High School Par
ent-Teacher Association.
A social hour then folowed. Ev
eryone everywhere was confronted
with a waiter of candy and apples,
•^re’'"'red by the social committee.
The waiters were mos. st^’^aetive
with the red apples decorated with
large sticks of candy.
“Fathers’ night” was a decided
success, and all are looking for
ward to the next one.
M. C. UULUIIH, UIOUUOO-,
ES NEAR EAST CUNDITIONS
On Monday, Oct. 30, the High
School enjoyed an unusual treat
when Miss Mary Channing t'olc-
inan, of N. C. C. W., related some
of her experiences in Germany and
the Near East.
Miss Coleman, who has recently
returned from an extended tour of
Europe, proved a. very interesting
and able speaker. In her talk she
laid special emphasis upon the eco
nomic conditions in the countries
mentioned, giving her very candid
opinion of the peoples.
First she introduced to us
Czehco-Slovakia, a most progres
sive young republic, in which thrift
and hard work seem the dominant
characteristics. Of Germany she
«poke feelingly as a nation in
which hard times are an exageration,
and courtesy to strangers an almost
negligible quantity. But of special
interest, at present, were her com
ments on the Near East. Con
stantinople, with its countless ref
ugees, its inadequate food supply,
its dire need, came as a revelation
to many.
We hope that very soon we may
again have the pleasure of hear
ing more of Miss Coleman’s trav
els.
Thursday, Oct. 26, a battle royal
’ took place between the handsome
faculty and the good old scrubs
of G. H. S. Such, a battle has
never before been seen in the an-
[ nals of Greensboro High. The fac
ulty has never won before, but be
that as it may, they did this time
with time with a large majority.
When every one reached the field,
the scrubs were warming up but
not one of the faculty was to be
seen. In a few minutes, though,
they pranced on the field and pro
ceeded to warm up; especially their
feet, which some of the students
imagined had become chilled due
to the cold.
After a few minutes of fumbling
and scrimmaging, the game was
called.
Mr. McFadden, former football
star, kicked off and the game began.
During the first quarter two touch
downs were made by the faculty,
one by Mr. G. B. and the other by
Mr. Charles Phillips. We thought
the Phillips’ were going to make
the gaining of touchdowns a family
affair until Mr. McFadden galloped
through the line of noble defence
and brought back another slab of
bacon.
This was the last time the fac
ulty scored and the third time the
scrubs didn’t score. As far as that
goes, the scrubs kept on not scor
ing during the game.
Much excitement was caused by
Mr. McFadden getting hurt, but
he didn’t have to be taken out. Much
• amusement was caused by Mr.
J Charles Phillips wrinkling his nose
I so much. Tile general opinion was
that he was making 32«age faces
‘ to scare unto death the poor^'Tils--
tle scrubs. However, they all sur
vived, the faculty the victory, and
the scrubs the defeat, and all the
students are laying two to one odds
in favor of the scrubs next year,
j The only other event this year
in which the pupils get a chance to
retaliate is the baseball game be-
I tween the girls and teachers-

AN APPRECIATION
Just as a matter of appreciation,
thus far in the football season, in be
half of the players, we wish to thank
j the people who have been kind
^ enough to furnish their cars whenever
called for, for trips to various
I places. At all times when the boys
and men connected with G. H. S. and
the town have learned of a need of
the team have responded promptly.
Recently, when it was planned
for all the squad to take a trip to
Oak Ridge to witness a game, enough
I cars were on hand at the right time
to take every squad member to the
game. Similar trips have been made
possible by the willingness of these
people to come forward and give their
time and the use of their cars. The
team and coaches thank you, car own-
. ers. J. M. McFadden,
C. W. Phillips.
Mr. Wells: Define space.
Penn McIntosh: I just can’t ex
press it but it’s something I have in
' mv head.
