WINSTON FACULTY GIVES
G. H. S. LITTLE END OF
A TEN TO EIGHT SCORE
Return Game To Be Played
Here
A new wrinkle, in the athletic
way, has been started by this
year’s faculty. Not to be outdone
by the students, they have organ
ized a cracker-jack of a basket
ball team.
The first game of the season
was played against the Winston
faculty, in Winston.
During the first half Greens
boro took the bit in her mouth
and got away with a fine lead.
She did not allow the enemy to
make a single field goal during
the initial period. The work of G.
Phillips and McFadden as guards
was good. The first half score
was (j to 3 in tavor of G. H. S.
At the beginning of the second
half the game started off with a
bang. The \\ inston bunch of
players were tired of looking
weak in the eyes of their ardent
supporters, so they immediately
began to toss the ball for goals.
Three followed each other in suc
cession. Then] a foul ^oal was
thrown through the hoop, mak
ing the score 10 to 8 infavor of
Winston,.
People who saw the game said
that all of the players ought to
make the football faculty team
next year if roughness and pep
had anything to do with it.
This Thursday a return game
will be played in Greensboro, and
Mr. Charlie Phillips, the big
Greensboro star, says that the G,
H. S. faculty are planning a no
ble revenge.

HISTORIAN AND HIGH LIFE
EDITOR ELECTED BY JUNIORS
The Junior Class met in room
101. Friday afternoon. The presi
dent was absent, l)ut the vice
president, Miss Edna Cartland,
ably presided. The purpose of
this meeting was to elect a class
historian. There were three nom
inees for this office. IMiss Isabel
Cone was elected.
As one of the Junior class edi
tors was unable to fill the duties
of that office, on account of her ill
health, a suggestion was made
from the chair, that some one be
nominated to fill the office. There
were three nominees for this off
ice also. Miss Elizabeth Thorn
ton was elected.
Miss Cartland brought before
the class the importance of class
unity in making arrangements
for the Junior-Senior reception.
In order to promote this unity, a
representative from each Junior
room was proposed to form a
committee to decide on commit
tees for the final arrangements
for the reception. The decision of
this committee will be brought
before the class at the next meet
ing, at which time further ar
rangements will be proposed.
The Poetry club held its third
meeting on Thursday night at the
home of Miss Lillian Clegg. At
this time the first regular pro
gram of the club was presented.
It consisted of talks, and after
wards a general discussion of the
following subjects: Imagination
in Poetry, led by Alice Thomp
son, The Charm of Poetry, led by
Katharine 'Gregory, Foetid Im
ages, by Elizabeth Transou.
Arrangements were made for
the study of certain poets and
their works, and the program was
completed.
The hostess served delightful
refreshments decorate in our
own purple and gold.
At each meeting the interest
and enthusiasm for this Poetry
Study club has accumulated.
Every member brings a poem
written by some contemporary
poet, and it is read aloud to the
other members. After all have
been read one is chosen to be pub
lished in High Life. The one se
lected for this week is the “Sea
Gull Song” by Mary Carolyn
Davies. It was published, at one
time, in the Saturday I'Evening
Post.
Sea Gull Song
My thought are mighty sea-gulls.
Shining out to sea
As white and strong as sea-gulls
As avid of the sea
They rest upon the green waves.
They mount up. one by one.
My thoughts are lordly sea-gulls,
My l)ody stays in bondage
I'pon the shore, I know;
But lazily float the sea-gulls
Like great flakes of snow.
I-azily, float the sea-gulls
Drifting in the blue
My thoughts are bright as sea
gulls .
Their flight as true.

Our basketball girls kept up
their string of victories by adding
to their list two more wins.
They defeated Reidsville, Fri
day night, Jan. 26, on their own
floor, (Reidsville) 3-10.
On Saturday night the team
met their old rival, Raleigh, at
the Y. M. C. A. of Greensboro.
The Raleigh girls sent our team
to defeat in the championship se
ries last year, consequently there
was a large number of students
from the school and many inter
ested fans of the city present.
The Capitol City girls were
handed the low end of a 26 to 18
score.
The Greensboro quint had no
individual stars for the game, but
they united their efforts in excel
lent team work, which proved
Raleigh's stumbling block. !

Mowery, Elizabeth Thomas andi
Doris De Lamater played excep
tionally well.

GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM
HONORED BY FOOTBALL BOYS
The Greensboro and Raleigh
girls’ basketball teams were hon-
orees last Saturday evening, Jan.
27th, at a delightful reception and
weinie roast given at the Y. W.
C. A. hut. The entertainment be
gan immediately after the
Greensboro Raleigh game.
The main feature of the eve
ning was a very graceful clog-
dance rendered by Mr. Charlie
Phillips and Miss Louise Smith.
Weinies ‘.with ’- mustard /were
served by Coach McFadden and
Dude Sellars. ^Marshmallows
were toasted over the fire in the
huge fireplace.
This was the first time in the
history of the high school that the
boys have entertained a girls’
team. It has always been the job
of the girls to provide for the en
tertainment of visiting teams.
For this reason and for the good
time had by all, the girls were
very grateful for their reception.
Mary had a little cat;
It swallowed a ball of yarn,
And when the little kittens came
They all had sweaters on.—Eex.
