STATE MODERN LANGUAGE
CONFERENCE AT TRINITY
MISS COLEMAN ATTENDS
With Dr. T. W. Lingle of David
son College presiding, the Modern
Language Teachers from every cor
ner of our State met at Trinity
College, April 6th and 7th, to par
take of the valuable inspiration and
splendid instruction that the State
Modern Language Conference al-
tyays gives to those who attend it.
Although, perhaps more colleges
than high schools were represented
this year, the conference was devoted
almost entirely to the solving of
high school problems. Interesting
and instrdctive talks were made by
Dean Wannamaker of Trinity Col
lege, Miss Porter of Meridith Col
lege, Miss Eliza Poole of Raleigh
High School, Miss Inabelle Coleman
of Greensboro High School and
others. But the one we Greensboro
people are most interested in, is our
own Miss Inabelle Coleman. At the
first session of the Conference, which
was held Friday afternoon. Miss
Coleman very clearly and effectively
explained our four year French
course, and gave excellent reasons
for offering this course to high
school boys and girls who will never
enter college walls, as well as to
those who will continue the study of
French. In the open discussion
which followed. Miss Coleman’s
plan was approved by every mem
ber of the conference. Dr. Lingle
said: “This four year, course is
unique and will bear the serious
consideration of every high school
French teacher of the State.” The
college teachers especially approved
of this longer and more thorough
course in French that Greensboro is
offering to any student who wants
four years of French. Greensboro
high school is the only high school
in our state offering four years of
French, and in this phase of our

Our Principal:
AN APPRECIATION
Here’s to Mr. Phillips, the best princi
pal G. H. S. has ever had! Mr. Phillips
graduated from the University of North
Carolina in 1913. Afterwards he taught
Euglish in the Raleigh High School and
also coached athletic teams. One of his
football teams at Raleigh won the state
championship by the score of 117 to 0.
From Raleigh Mr. Phillips went to Oxford,
N. C., where he was superintendent of
schools for three years. He was made
principal of our high school in the middle
of the 1921 session.
Mr. Phillips is deeply interested in Ath
letics and has done much to stimulate in
terest in them. He is not so much con
cerned about winning as he is about devel
oping a spirit of good sportmanship and
fair play through our inter-scholastic con
tests. He is now president of the Girls’
Athletic Association of North Carolina.
His genius for organization has developed
the school into a smooth working machine.
Never before have our students shown a
better school spirit. They give their en
thusiastic support to all student activities
and co-operate heartily with the faculty.
He has also done much to enlarge and
standardize the course of study. Mr. Phil
lips is held in high esteem by the citizens
of Greensboro and all the boys and girls
of G. H S.
MOTHERS HONORED WITH
DELIGHTFUL BANQUET
Friday night, April 13, the school
cafeteria, which had been converted
into a beautiful diningroom by
the use of white bunting and flow
ers, was filled with one hundred
and sixty mothers and daughters.
This, the first Mother-Daughter ban
quet to be held in Greensboro, was
given for the purpose of honoring
the mothers.
After an opening prayer by Miss
Killingsworth, Dean of girls, the
daughters sang the old song “Our
Mothers Will Shine Tonight,” and
the mothers, not to be outdone, re
taliated with “Our Girls Will Shine
Tonight.”
Nancy Little, toast-mistress of the
evening, in a short speech gave the
mothers a cordial welcome to the
banquet, and Lucile Boon gave a
toast “To Mothers,” to which Mrs.
1. A. Shenck responded.
Two talks “If I Were in My
Mother’s Shoes” by Virginia Jack-
son and Rebecca Ogburn and “If
I Were in My Daughter’s Shoes”
by Mrs. Lamb, seemed quite ap
propriate to the occasion.

NEWSVYRITERS OlOB ENJOY
VERY SraSFUL YEAR
This Issue of High Life Fruit of
Its Efforts
The News Writers’ Club is one of
the many progenies from the brain
of W. A. Barton, Jr. Mr. Barton
felt the need for some such an organ,
ization so that some of the people
in G. H. S., who were inclined to
wards newspaper work, might have
an outlet for their pent up thoughts
and ideas. The pronounced success
which this group has enjoyed during
its short life manifests the absolute
truth of Mr. Barton’s theory. After
starting the ball Mr. Barton’s work
was completed and it was left to the
club and their able advisor, Miss
Edna Tyre to keep it rolling. Miss
Tyre has been very active in the
club and is greatly responsible for
the success of it.
The desired number of members
were soon signed up and the organ
ization of the club was duly affected.
Textbooks were procured and a
course of study was mapped out.
The date of meetings were arranged
and everything was “settin’ purty”
for a grand and glorious- career.
The Newswriters’ Club has had that
career and incidentally we have had
a good time in carrying it out.
It has been the purpose of the

The radio which Mr. Wells has

G. H. S. for it was then that
many of the long-worked-for mono

responsive readings led by Miss
Lucile Boone and followed by a

of the class of ’22, gave an interest- i
ing talk on sportsmanship. She |
said that the girls of G. H. S. were i
considered to be among the best'
sportswomen of the state.

the following girls: Virginia Jack-;

JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET
GIVEN AT N. G. G. W. MOST
DELIGHTFUL IN YEARS
On Friday night, April 6, the
Seniors were delightfully entertain
ed by the Juniors at the Annual
Junior-Senior Banquet. To quote
Miss Summerell “this was the best
Junior-Senior reception in many
years.” I’m sure every senior pres
ent at this delightful function fully
agrees with her.
While we were blissfully enjoying
our five course dinner the Juniors
pulled off some stunts which greatly
amused as well as pleased us. This
entertainment was in the form of
stunts representing each letter in
the word, “Seniors.” First several
of the Juniors Impersonated the
Seniors having their pictures made
for the Annual. After much primp
ing, powdering and combing, these
folks finally succeeded in having
their pictures made. Next, we thor
oughly enjoyed hearing our orches
tra, “Carolina’s Best” render a most
expressive piece. Not content with
this, their director, “Judge Adams”
had a solo rendered by Mr. Norman
Block. The “killing” part of this
masterpiece was the fact that it was
rendered on a red and white stick
of candy.
For athletics we have Norman
Block impersonating “the best short
stop in scholastic circles” as he de
livered his inaugural address. Then
we found in our midst a new cheer
leader, Charlie Watson, who imper
sonated our own “Jerry” to a “T.”
Next the Juniors surprised the
members of the High Life staff by
calling on them for impromptu
speeches. Although handicapped by
