ELIMINATED BY MONROE
IN CLOSE BATTLE
THIRTEEN MONOGRAMS
ENDS G. H. S.’ SEASON
Charlotte, Nov. 25—A swirling
dashing puple hurican from Greens
boro skooped down upon Wearn-
field Saturday afternoon and so
chilled and numbed the football
eleven from Monroe, that the
Union county aggregation had the
greatest difficulty in nosing out a
7-6 decision.
Greensboro scored at the begin
ning of the fourth quarter but
failed to add the extra point that
would have meant a tie. Monroe
followed in a few minutes with
a touchdown, and W. Fairley made
it seven with a neat drop-kick
that split the goal post.
Greensboro kicked off, held Mon
roe and started a steady march
down the field that nothing could
stop ’except the whistle. The quar
ter ended with Monroe backs
knocking, but the whistle turned
a deaf ear and denied it.
Monroe, entering the game after
a deadening grinding series with
Shelby, met a team that, although
to lose by no longer margin than
it did, was fresh and eager for
the clash and it was‘a long time
before the Union lads seemed able
to find themsleves. The first, second
and third quarters were clearly
Greensboro,’s but the last period
would be hard to figure.
Monroe then took the ball and
after a steady march toward the
opponent’s goal took it over and
Bill Fairley added the point.
From that time on Greensboro
out-played Monroe and was about
seven yards from the goal and
going like a house afire when
the whistle ended the game and
Greensboro’s ambition for 1922.

At the conclusion of the presen

with a handsome traveling bag.
The program was then turned
over to room 103 in charge of
Clinton Jackson. After the scripture
reading by John Sykes, the newly
discovered Caruso of 103, Robert
Irvin, favored us by “Smilin’ Thou.”
Elizabeth Simpson enumerated a
few of the things for which a
G. H. S. student should be thank
ful. And Catherine Cox read some
selected Thanksgiving poems.
One of the most enjoyable num
bers of the program was the two
songs, “The Waters of Mineonka”
and “The Cuckoo,” which Mrs.

SENIORS FOSTER PLAN
The idea of the students’ having
a share in the management of their
school is not a new one in the
Greensboro High School. For four
years the qestion has been discussed
from various points of view and
with varying enthusiasm and inter
est. At one time there was a strong
sentiment for a council whose func
tions should be chiefly judicial; at
another time there was a campaign
for a students’ government associa
tion modelled on systems existing in
colleges. Many reasons could be
assigned for the failure of these
plans to materialize: but the chief
reasons were these: The faculty
were not wholly in sympathy with
the movement; the students were
not united in supporting the move
ment; and the systems proposed did
not seem to meet with the approval
of those who favored the idea.
Recently there has come another
suggestion for a student council
which shall co-operate with the fac-
! ulty in the management of the high
school. The immediate functions
of this council shall be four:
(1) To elevate the standards of
honor and scholarship in our school.
(2) To foster a better type (if
that be possible) of school loyalty.

Monday afternoon, after school,
senesters three, four, and five, of
French, met in room 106 to organize
a French Circle. Miss Inabelle
Coleman presided over the first part
of the meeting and explained to
those present how much credit was
to be given. For each pupil who
attends ninety-five percent of the
meetings, five points will be added
to his grade; five points will also
be given each time a member par
ticipates in a program. After the
explaining of a few other points,
the rest of the meeting was devoted
to the electing of officers. Those
elected were: president, Frances
Thomas; vice-president, Harvey Ly
ing; Sec. adn Treas., Evelyn Trog-
den; High Life Reporter, Jennie
Adams.
The object of the club is to cre
ate a friendlier spirit between all
those interested in French, and to
stand for the higher ideals for
which we all strive. The club is not
only to be a great pleasure to all
who attend, but will also be very
instructive. For example of this,
when the roll is called each per
son is to answer to his name by a
French proverb, in French. All plays,
songs and poems given in the pro
gram are to be in French.-
At the next meeting, which will
he held Dec. 4th, at 3:45 p. m.
Miss Adams’ classes of French ITT
will have charge of the program.
They will present a play and manv
other interesting and worthwhile
features to which the club is looking
forward.

GLEE CLUB MAKES BOW TO
SCHOOL IN CHAPEL PBOGBAM
P. T. A. GIVE OYSTES ROAST
FOR TEACHERS ATY.W. HUT
The social committee of the
High School Parents Teacher Asso
ciation delightfully entertained tire
high school faculty and their young
men friends at the Y. W. C. A.
hut, Saturday evening, Nov. 18, at a
combination dinner and oyster roast.
The hut was decorated effectively
with autumn leaves and chrysanthe
mums, the large fire-place adding
much to the charm of the room,
in that it was a source , of heat as
well as of beauty.
Dinner was served in a very
unique manner. Forming a line,
each couple passed the table and
was given a plate with sandwiches,
which tasted like more, salad,
oysters, and the essentials of a
first-class meal.
After being served, a large semi
circle was formed in front of the
open fire-place where laughter wit
and fun accompanied the food.
During the evening, games were
engaged in by all present, lead by
Mr. Parks and Miss Edna Tyre.
Among the games were the aero
plane race won by Miss Gressitt and
the Marshmallows contest was won
by Miss Dorsett.
Doctor Williams and Miss Mor
row brought the games to a close
by the cleverest stunt of the even
ing, in which Doctor Williams
proved successful in the Baby Food
Contest.
The evening was a happy one
enjoyed thoroughly by the high
school teachers and their friends.
We shall always be indebted to our
High School Association for fur
nishing us such an entertainment.

AN APPRECIATION
The observance of “Better Speech
Week” in our school was very
successful. All the credit for this
a hieveme- t is due to the teachers
Avho planned the activities and to the
students who co-operated cheerfully
a d enthusiastically in rendering the
several programs. It is impossible
to express in person and to each
individual my sincere appreciation
of the good work done. Please let
this statement serve as a substitute.
Our next task is to conserve the
good influence of “Better Speech
Week.” T am sure that the school
can depend on each one to accom
plish this end.
This statement was written for
. the last issue of High Life, but
it was unavoidably omitted.
Sincerely.

die is cast. We have crossed the
Rubicon. The students are to have
a co-operative council.
After much heated discussion,
pro and con, the senior class has
finally decided in favor of a student
co-operative council. This council
is to work in close co-operation with
the faculty in any matter which may
involve, in any way, the student
body at large. The seniors feel that
this council will aid greatly in the
best development of the school, and
practically every member of the
class is whole-heartedly in favor of
it. A great many students have the
idea that this co-operative council is
for the express and only purpose of
stopping all dishonesty in the
school, but this is not the one aim
and ambition of the pre-mentioned
organization. There are many gen
eral questions of school interest
which call for a settlement in which
the students may have a part. This
is the purpose of the student co-
operetive council, and long may il
live to reign and rule in our be
loved school.

On Tuesday night, November 7th,
at 7:30 P. M., the Debating Club
met in the library of the high
school.
The meeting was called to order
by the president; Charles Lips-

ing was a debate on the query;

ton of the negative were victorious
over Robert Irvin and Kathryn
Manri who upheld the affirmative.
Those acting as judges were:
Thomas Shaw, Philip Jeffreys, and
Elizabeth Simpson.
The election of a critic. Dorothy
Albright was another feature of the
evening. Mr. Lefler then gave a
few points on debating and the
manner in which it should be
carried on. Mr. Reaves suggested
that each member prepare a brief on
the subject of debate for the next
meeting and have an extemporane
ous debate, the debaters being chos
en by chance.
Several new members were pres
ent and were voted into the club
unanimously. They were: Dorothy
Albright, Corinne Cook, Virginia
Jackson and Elizabeth Mann.
