who has three charming daughters
and an old maid sister? Tax your
[imagination to the utmost and even
then you will not he able to
forecast the amusing situation in
the play “What happened to Jones.”

Spring is here and baseball is
going to hold the attention of
athletic lovers for awhile, and all
High School students are lovers
of athletics.
The baseball prospects are bright
for the year. The “hopefuls” are
certain, in their minds, that the
season is going to be a successful
one. The material is plentiful and
the spirit is fine. With good
weather and continual work, the
G. H. S. agate-tossers will have
glory this year.
The pitching staff with the ex
ception of Buster Swift is an in
experienced lot. Buster will bear
the brunt of the pitching in all
probability. Others who are out
for a place on the mound in
clude: Penn McIntosh, Mead Con
nelly, Lacy Wyrick, and Frank
lin Goodwin.
For the infield there are plenty
of prospects. Of course Willie
Green will have a berth there, with
possibilities for Fred Burroughs

Although the boys of the Gate
City track team did not cop the
highest honors, they deserve a great
deal of credit for the showing they
made on March 9th at Durham
whither they went with Coach Mc-
I’adden to take part in the state
track meet. Charlotte High School
won the meet with a total of 20
points. Our place can best be
shown by the record of each contest
ant.
David Thomas qualified for the
finals of the 50-yard and the 220-
yard dashes but was retarded by
.springing a “charlie horse.” Carnie
Wyrick was in the finals of the
220-yard dash and the relay. Egbert
Anderson came in fourth in the half-
mile race. M. C. Comer was in the
relay, high jumps, and hurdles.
Chas. Anderson ran in the relay
John Ford took part in the shot
put and relay. Herbert Coe came
in sixth in the half-mile race. P.
B. Whittington was in the high
jump and the hurdles. Herbert
Lewis entered the shot put contest
and the high jump.
The track team will participate
in a number of meets this spring.
Its schedule is as follows:
March 30—Dual meet in Charlotte
with Charlotte
April 6—Triangular meet in
Greensboro with Burlington and
Reidsville
April 13—State meet at Chapel
Hill
April 21—Guilford Collie at
Guilford College
May 5—Western Carolina Meet

The Commercial Department has
taken another step in securing for its
students necessary equipment. The
modern office is today provided with
time-saving, fatigue-reducing ma
chines, among which the calculator
is most extensively employed. A
course in the operation of the me
chanical calculator is now being
conducted in the high school, and
the students are taking on to the
work with pleasure and enthusiasm.
The course is given only to Jun
iors and Seniors of the commercial
course, and is being conducted by
Mrs. D. D. Peete, who had much
experience in this kind of instruc
tion during the war. The equip
ment used in this course was pur
chased in part by the school Board,
and part of it was furnished by
the Burroughs Adding Machine
Company.
The course promises to be a most
interesting and instructive one. The
calculator is used in practically all
business offices, and the knowledge
of its operation will be very valua
ble to those students who expect to
enter an office after finishing school.

SUPERLATIVE TYPES CHOSEN
In every school there comes a time
when the students seem to feel that
in order to be happy they must

The Girl’s Basket Ball Squad was
delightfully entertained Friday night,
by Miss Harnsberger, the coach.
The High School cafeteria was
decorated in green and white colors
of St. Patrick’s Day, and the three
course dinner which was served,
also carried out the color scheme.
During the evening the hostess
toasted the present captain, the
present manager, and Mr. Charlie
Phillips and Mr. MacFadden who
have helped with this year’s team.
The hit of the evening was, with
out a doubt, the novelty trio ren
dered by Miss Harnsberger, Mr.
MacFadden and Mr. Phillips. If
there had been any formality, it
w'ould certainly have disappeared
after this song.
Near the close of the evening,
Yvonne Stinnett presented a foun
tain pen to Miss Harnsberger, as a
token of the team’s love and affec
tion for her and her work.
After most of the fiin was over,
the members of the squad turned
their attention to a matter of a little
more serious nature, that of elect
ing the captain and manager for
next year. After the balloting was
finished, it was found that Margaret
Meyers would captain the squad and
that Patty Webb would manage it.
^ ith two such leaders, the only
possible outcome for next season
is. success.

There has never been a subject
which has called forth more discus
sion, both pro and con, than has the
Co-operative Organization idea.
When it was first brought up,
there were many “Doubting Thom
ases” who felt that such a big thing
could not be accomplished. But
their fears have proved to be ground
less, for after thinking and talking
the matter over, it was almost unan
imously adopted. The school is now
working under the Co-operative
Council. In order that every one
may read the constitution it is given

JACK BAXTER WINS
IN MUSIC CONTEST
At a meeting of the State Federa
tion of Music Clubs in Winston-
Salem on the 13, 14 and 15 of this
month, the contest of violin music
was won by Jack Baxter of the
Greensboro High School. This is the
second time this honor has come
to our school, Ashby Pamplin hav
ing won out in last year’s contest.
We are proud of our violinists of
course, but we are also proud of
our representatives in the piano
contest. Margaret Hood, Dorothy
Lee, and Philip Jeffries acquitted
themselves creditably on this occa
sion.
