BANNER CLASSES IN PHYSICAL
TRAINING
During February competition in
exercises was strong in grades four
through eight. The classes under
Miss Plowden and Mrs. Park making
the most progress were to receive
a banner for their rooms. When
inspection was made, banners were
awarded to Miss Milner’s 7th grade
in Lindsay and Miss Bouleware’s
7th grade in West Lee. Both grades
do exceptionally fine work. Honor
ary mention was given Miss Bing
ham’s 8th grade in Asheboro and
Mr. Hooper’s 6th grade in West Lee.
At the end of each month inspec
tion will be made and banners
awarded to the classes making the
best demonstration for the month.
HIGH SCHOOL SECOND TEAM
LOSE TO POMONA
Many good hours for basketball
practice have been spent by the
second squad on Wednesdays and
Fridays for the past three months
and some good material has been
developed for the next season. Dur
ing the course five games were
scheduled. The team won two games
from the Faculty and one from
Whitsett by default, and lost one to
Buffalo and one to Pomona.
The season closed March 14th
with the game with Pomona at the
y. W. C. A. The first half the
visiting team broke away and seem
ed to make goals from any angle.
The score at the end of the first
half was 21-8. In the second half
Greensboro played a better guard
ing game and held the hoop for one
more point than Pomona. The
final score was 31-19 in favor of
Pomona.
WHAT SHALL WE DO ABOUT A SUMMER CAMP?
Spring is here and plans should be made now> if a camp is to be conducted at Hicone this summer.
History of Camp
The camp was first conducted during the summer of 1920, when some ten thousand dollars
worth of equipment was secured, and a Boy Scouts’ Camp was opened during the month of June.
Later in the summer a community camp was conducted.
Last summer, the Scout Organization made other plans, and the season was divided between
camps for boys and camps for girls.
Leadership
At all times, the Executive Committee has exercised the greatest care in the selection of leaders
for these camps. These leaders have been among the most successful of our teachers and workers
with young people.
Camp Programs
The most careful thought has been given to planning a program of activities at each camp in
order that wholesome sports may be indulged in and wholesome ideals may be upheld.
What Experience Has Taught Us
We have made some observations through our three years of experience and believe:
1. That a group of campers should be of approximately the same age.
2. That it is a mistake to try to make boys and girls or their parents take an interest in Camp
Hicone against their will.
The Question
Shall we have a camp at Hicone this summer? If so, the Directors must know by April, so that
plans may be made. The Directors feel that the boys and girls and their parents must let their wishes
be known promptly. If a sufficient number, say about sixty, sign up for each of the ten day-
periods, beginning about the first of July, then camp leaders will be secured; if there is no demand,
then the camp will be discontinued. If you are interested, use this
AGREEMENT BLANK
I want a place at Camp Hicone this summer for one period of ten days. I promise my deposit
of one dollar, part payment of the total charge of .$7.50 for the ten day period.

THE TRAGEDY OF “GETTING BY
i^Copied from the Autobiogra
phy of an “Almoster”)
'"Were I to pass judgment upon
myself,” writes the author of this
Autobiography, “I would say that
I have been the victim of the state
of affairs w^hich confronts the aver
age American youth today. I never
climbed to great heights because
half-w ay up the mountainside there
always appeared a shady dell where
I was content to linger, while others
continued the journey.
“I have managed to ‘get by’—the
most regrettable condition into;
which man may fall. An occasional
stinging defeat would have been in
finitely better tor me than the
even tenor that has marked my
course through the years. My earlier j
successes, such as they were, came
under the uyge of youthful enthusi
asm. or often under the spur of
necessity. The minute the lash
ceased to crark I settled back. My
onward mar-h came to a sudden
end.
“There never was the opportunity
confronting \oung America that
there is today. True competition
is keener, because demands are
greater, just as the rewards are
richer. But opportunity is for him
who will wholeheartedly appW him
self. But we siiy at anything sug
gesting physical or mental exertion
bevond a certain point.
“What’s the use? We ‘get by,’
don’t w’e? Why worry?
“And that is why we are Almost-
(rs!”

Why I Like High Life
I like High Life because our
teacher writes such interesting pieces
in it. High Life is the most inter
esting paper I have ever seen. I
like the High Life because it has
large print. I like High Life be
cause you can get so many nice
ideas in it.

Why I Like High Life
Why I like High Life is because
you can learn the news all over the
world. You can tell where to buy
your best clothes and where to go
to get them. It tells how the
schools work and the schools hand
in many interesting stories. It tells
where the best shows are going to be
at. I think the High Life is
very interesting paper.

Why I Like High Life
I like High Life because it is
so interesting. It has poems and
good stories. It has good lives to
read about people. It has about
people who died from serious dis
eases. We also hear about famous
men. I like to hear stories which
other children have written.
Mr. Lefler: “Why do so many
Italians come to this country?”
Thelma Floyd: “To raise Spa
ghetti.”
