f V' i-', I i-, ■ •1: Ir PAGE FOUR HIGH LIFE GREENSBORO ELIMINATED Playing a game somewhat be low their usual brand, Grenes- boro High School was eliminat ed from the race for state laurels by the steady Winston-Salem High School, at Guilford College, Friday afternoon. Due to eight errors piled up against Greens boro, the Twin-City lads won the afternoon tussle by a 7 to 4 count. Ike Wrenn and Fred Burroughs were the chief pill-punchers for the locals, while “Judge’’ Adams made several spectacular catches in the out field thus halting threatened rallies. “Buster” Swift was on the rub ber for Greensboro, and allowed but seven bingles, none of which counted for extra bases. Ford twisted gallantly for Winston- Salem and gave up only six safe ties, though two of them were double-deckers. The game marked the close of a fairly prosperous season for the Greensboro team, for the nine won ten games, lost seven and tied two. HI-Y HAY RIDE Saturday night, May 12th, the members of Hi-Y No. 2 and their guests enjoyed a very delightful hay-ride. The group went to Guilford Battleground. Here a fire was built, and around its cheery blaze, ice cream and cake were served. Then the merry crowd rode home. There were two unusual features to this par ticular hay-ride. One was the de lightful musical program render ed by Miss Marjorie Blair and, last but not least, was the peanut battle in which IMr. Charles Phil lips was the chief casualty. Chap erones were: Miss Ruby Hodgin and Mr. Charlie Phillips. A la Gastonia High A note to the school board. Dear Public Servants:— You know you have assured us that we are to have every possible convenience in our high school building. Every enterprise needs an informer who sees things from the inside, so, though vou think you know how to fit up a high school, there are some minor essentials that you are likely to overlook, when gome person like myself reminds you of a few of them. 1. See to it that there is a pipe line laid from the soup kitchen to each room in the building. Either a rubber tube attachment or a spigot will serve. This may keep a few people who are reckless enough to stand on the cafeteria steps, when the lunch bell rings, from being killed. 2. By all means provide a beauty parlor for faculty flappers and high school-woiild-be-flappers. 3. A complete vanity box with compartments for lipstick, eyebrow pencil, paint, powder, and a mirror is an elaborate necessity in each girl’s desk. These vanities need not be concealed; girls don’t object to publicity. 4. Please have concealed in the walls receptacles from which by placing a penny in a slot, we may keep in pocket a constant supply of chewing gum. 5. See that the new erasers are weighted: they will come much nearer hitting the mark in battle, any kind of brushable chalk w'ill do, but please see that no rulers are fitted with tin edges. 6. Several of the boys would like individual waste baskets for banana peelings. They sometime have to eat them to dispose of them. 7. Double-decked desks would supply a long felt need in G. H. S., for numbers of the boys have suffer ed from want of compartments for adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Snappy Stories, Life, Judge, etc. Some of the girls would like the lower deck as a peanut dispensary. 8. One other item that should not be annihilated is a limousine, to be kept at the disposal of some of our fastidiously inclined, that they may go up street at recess periods to re lieve a little of the energy produced by too much study. Some of these items may seem to you to be unessential but, I assure you that an inspection of this or any other up-to-date-school will con vince you of the increasing demands of civilization. And as Greensboro High has always boasted of her progress, you will not wish her to fall behind in any particular. Thanking you in advance for sup plying all our needs, I am, Yours Very Truly, A Student. —From Gastonia High Magazine. A kiss, a sigh, A fond good-bye— Arid she was gone. A smile, a curl, .Another girl, .And so the world goes on. —Ex. TENNIS TEAM LICKS B. H. S. On Thursday, May 10, the girls’ tennis team made a. trip to Bur lington and defeated the Burling ton girls for the second time this played a snappy brand of tennis throughout the entire afternoon, as can be redaily seen by the scores. Edna Cartland defeated Mable Thompson 6-0, 7-5. Helen Clapp defeated Willis Wood, 6-1, 6-0, while Louise Smith and Virginia Jackson downed Ola Thomas and Mable Thompson by a score of 7-5, 7-5. JUST FOR FUN “Buster” Swift: I think I would like to be a soft drink manufac turer when I grow up, Pop. Loving father; My son, ambi tion is made of sterner stuff. Norman Block (to druggist) : Will you give nie something for my head? Druggist: I wouldn’t take it as a gift. Mr. Lefler: Have you a stick of gum in your mouth? “Hec” Clapp: No sir, “Pete” wanted half of it. Waiter (in hotel): How will you have your steak, sir? Mr. Kiser (absent mindedly) : Well done, thou good and faith ful servant. . Soar: “Pete, where are you going?” “Pete”: ’’Crazy, do you want to go.” iNTiss Coleman: I’ve studied The Chardenal four years in High School and four years in College and have fought it over here three years. Vki. Jackson: .And they call it the New Chardenal? “Doc”: That girl . nearly drowned last night. ,, Mary: No! How’s that? “Doc”: A"ou see the pillow slipped, the bed spread, and she fell through the mattress into the springs. Caesar conquered many nations. .A mighty man was he; And in examinations Pie also conquered me. —Graham Crocker Lives of football men remind us That we, too, can write our names in blood. And departing leave behind us— Plalf our faces in the mud. Lives of seniors remind us That we should strive to do our best. And, departing, leave behind us Notebooks that will help the rest.—Ex, O. P. is an active boy. His jaws keep going some, For when he doesn’t chew the rag He works on chewing gum. . —Ex. He knew that she would thank him not. He cared not for her scorn; Pie offered her his street car seat To keep her off his corn.—Ex. Good boys love their sisters. So good have I grown, That I love other boy’s sisters Better than my own.—Ex. DURHAM HOST TO HIGH SCHOOLS (Continued from page 2) place in the first, second and third year contests. We do not know as yet the exact standing of G. H, S. as the report has not yet reached us. However, we do know that we did not win the cup, but even so, G. H. S. mav have the feeling that tve did not disgrace her. Variuos towns and cities of North Carolina were represented in the Contest. They were: Wil mington, Charlotte, Raleigh, Mt. Airy, Durham, Lincointon, Greensboro and Winston-Salem. After the contest was over automobiles carried us over the city. Lunch, in reality a second banquet, was served at noon at the school. For the rest of the afternoon, rve were left to our own devices. Some of us came home Saturday, and some stayed over until Sunday. All of us en joyed the trip and we.will always look upon Durham as a place of gracious hospitality. GLEE CLUB ENTERTAIN? (Continued from page 1) son, Elizabeth Causey. IX.
