THE CLASS OF ’25 PLANS
WORK OF FALL SEMESTER
. On Thursday, September 25, the sen
ior r class held a meeting to discuss the
wOrk for the fall. After the reading of
th e minutes of the last meeting by the
sejcretary, Frances Moore, Edgar Young
m'anager of the annual, read the ap-
po.intment of members to the annual
stti'ir as follows: Assistant business
Duanager, Elizabeth Darling; associate
editor, Charles Amole; art and humor,
Claude McTver; art editor, Maxine Fer-
ree; assistant art editor, Ida May Free
land; cartoonist, Alfred Dickson; ath
letic editor, Moyer Sink; society editor,
Frances Elder; snapshot editor, Helen
Forbis; Photograph editor, Clarence
Stone.
Sighs of gladness and sighs of woe
were heard when Edgar told them that
their pictures must be taken soon, to be
exact, on Saturday, September 27. De
Ovies was decided upon as the best pho
tographer.
“Not only do we want subscriptions to
High Tufi: but your co-operation in fill
ing its pages.” This was the message of
Byron Sharp, business manager of High
Life, after expressing his thanks for the
too per cent subscriptions.
Virginia McClamroch asked every
body to support the Senior Supply
Room, to buy their various articles
from it, and to make it prosper. With
a pladge to support their store the sen
iors adjourned.

have the best that we can have. We
must rather strive to make them bet
ter because in this way we will progress.
We will go on as we have started.”
Mr. E. D. Broadhurst, in introducing
Mr. Lee Edwards, acting superintendent
of the schools of Greensboro, and prin
cipal of the High School, gave a short
address on the need of a new high school
building. “I am crazy,” he declared,
“but it is a form of insanity that can
be cured by removing the cause. The
cause is the need of a new modern high
school. The factories and companies of
Greensboro do not exist for themselves.
When they are gone, and when we are
gone, all our hopes, plans and desires
will be left for our children. We must
do our best for them now. We exist to
make the next generation better. Wliat
is money compared to our children?” he
asked. “Think about this and talk about
this, he counselled the parents. “We
think that we can promise a new school
in two years and we want the best that
can be had. We must have that kind
and we will have it,” he declared.
In his address Mr. Edwards empha
sized the need of parents to cooperate
in getting instruments for a high school
band. “My greatest disappointment in
the six years that I have been here is
that we do not have a band or an or
chestra. We w'ant one and we will work
until we get one. We have devised sev
eral means of raising the money neces
sary and we need your cooperation. We
need .$3,000. It sounds large but we
need it and we are confident that we
^'dll get it some time.” The plan is
to buy instruments for the band and
keep them as the property of the school,
to be passed on from year to year by
the respective players. “We want them
us quickly as we can get them and it is
the first thing which I ask you parents
to do,” he told them. “On Sunday
utternoon the Greensboro Municipal
Band will give a concert at the Grand
Hieater. I ask you all to go and place
in the envelopes provided any amount
which you care to give us for this band.”
Mr. Edwards expressed his thanks to
the parents for attending the meeting
und for their help and cooperation in
those things which the faculty is doing.
the girls’ glee club from Junior High
School sang “Who is Sylvia?” and “Sere-
nade” from Schubert. Mr. Grady Mil-
er sang “Homing” and “Tommy-lad.”
A pleasant social hour followed the
nieetiug, and parents and teachers were
enabled to become better acquainted. Re-
reshments were served.
S.de-line Fashion Show: One non-in
flammable derby on a flaming head; and
a red tie to complete the color scheme.
We wonder why so many of the boys
pieferred to stand at the game
on Saturday?
Last year there were always two po
sitions that Bobby Wilkins, of ’24,
wanted to play. Saturday Fate allowed
him only the one in the grand stand—
but he was there—and supremely hap
py that there was no conflict of choice.
Mary Jerome, of ’24, came with the
Winstonites to see the game; but she
rooted for Greensboro.
Mr. Dorsett dreamed) that Greens
boro would win and came on to the
Gate City to see his dream come true.
David 'Fliomas, classman of ’24, is
still deeply interested in and devoted
to one particular part of High School.
He was at the game.
Walter Cox came all the way from
State to see the Purple beat Winston.
His trip was wmrthwfliile.
Johnnie Johnson Junior broke train
ing on Saturday. We saiv him drinking
a coca-cola.
Slick Charles Crawford attracted
much attention in a certain right-hand
section of the grand stand Saturday.
Why?
Twelve girls of ’24 have not los1
tlieir Flign School spirit, even if thej
are at N. C. C. W. They dotted the
grandstand Saturday and yelled anc
sang with pep. It was too bad thal
they had to leave at 5:30 and missec
the grand finale; but rules will be rules
even in college.
One of our “friends, Romans, and
countrymen”, Charles IJpscomb, was at
the game Saturday and seemed to en
joy it.
After Saturdays game we can easily
understand why our team is called the
“Purple Whirlwind.”
It s a good thing the games are not
closer together than they are; if they
were, the cheer leaders would drop from
sheer exhaustion after a few more such
strenuous games as that with Winston.
M e were at a loss to understand the
cause of the wave of excitement which
swept the grand-stand, taking the fair
sex by storm, until we discovered the
presence of Mr. Fulton.
M'ere thinking over very seriously the
‘’Oggestion to give Miss M^heeler and
Mr. Wunsch a try-out as cheer-leaders
next game. ^
Purple certainly lived up to its royal
tradition Saturday.
We’re constrained to believe that the
salutation, “Hey, Kirkey”, produced a
thrill in a certain jiart ot the grand
stand Saturday.
Saturday’s game reminds us of the
saying, “What has been done can be
done again.” A hint to the team is suf
ficient.
HALLWAY WHISPERINGS
Weakness on both sides is, we know,
le motton of all quarrels—Voltaire.
LE CERCLE FRANCAIS MEETS.
Fifty boys and girls of the French
department met Wednesday, October 1,
for the purpose of reorganizing the
h’rench Club. Much interest ruled the
election of the following officers: Presi
dent, Elizabeth Stone, of French V;
vice-president, Judah Shahan, of French
\ ; secretary, Mary Thurman, of French
treasurer, Marion Walters of French
HI; and press reporter, Elizabeth Rock
well, of French H. The faculty advisers
are: Misses Coleman, Causey, Kelly, and
Rankin. Every first and third Wednes
day afternoons of the school month were
the days chosen for the regular meet
ings.
“A qui veut, rien n’est impossible,”
which has been the motto of the circle
Francais since its organization three
years ago, will again lead and inspire
the club members.
It is the purpose of Le Circle Fran
cais to develop an interest in the life,
manners and customs of the French
people and to acquaint the students with
the songs, games, dramas and home life
of the French. Meetings of the club
are held semi-monthly, for which spec
ial programs are prepared by the stu
dents and faculty. The exercises are
conducted in the French language. Stu
dents who have had one year of High
School French are eligible for mem
bership.

“How far that little candle throws its
beams,
So shines a good deed in a naughty
world,”
—Shakespeare.
Go through the halls of G. H. S. any
time you please, you certainly will not
be bored; to the contrary, you’ll be ab
sorbed in what greets you for every
point of vantage in them is taken up
with wholesome and interesting things.
As one enters the front door he seems
to see the halls beckoning him. “Come
along with us; we’ll show you life,” they
say.
And indeed they will; for they have
the best known ways and means for do
ing so. They’ll show you how dearly
the classes long graduated and gone
have revered their beloved school, point
ing out to you the various statues by
which they have expressed their regard.
They’ll show you how nobly the ath
letes have worked for the old school,
the case of loving cups speaking more
eloquently than a guide might do.
Bulletin boards greet the pedestrian
warmly. Here is the senior board, there
the junior, there the one for the Latin
classes. On these are placed the sto
ries of the good deeds of which not only
the school but the whole world boasts
all told by pictures or newspaper
clipjiings.
Shakespeare spoke truly when he said
that a good deed shines in a naughtv
world. It shines like a beacon. Some
times people don’t realize the value of
it and criticize; but we feel,that criti
cism is one form of interest. These sto
ries in clipping form thrill us and in
spire us to noble deeds.
The old hall seems to smile at our
thoughts as we pass along in absorbed
silence, taking interested notice of the
news posted of the clean sports of col
lege and high school, of the pictured
places of interest in other parts of the
world, of the activities of high school
clubs, and of the doings of people who
have explored the realms of goodness
and helpfulness.
The students appreciate the fine feel
ing and patient labor that it took to ar
range the bulletin boards and show that
appreciation by lingering before them
after lunch.
MY are proud of our hall and the
things that it whispers.
1924 REFLECTOR BOARD
BEGINS WORK ON ANNUAL
“Every man at his best state is al
together vanity’'—Psalms.
The storm raged; the formerly semi
peaceful whirlpool became a maelstrom
of terrific force. It swept everything
away; there was no opposing it. Many
a brave sailor was lost in its rage.
The storm of vanity swept the ship
of high school from its moorings. Few
were the students in the senior class
who could or would resist its furious
lashings. Everyone was so excited that
he could not keep his bearings; and the
ship 6t state headed clear around in the
otlier direction.
“Which view of me is the best?”
“Do you prefer this or that?”
“Does this look very much like me?”
“Oh, how darling! I’m just crazy
about that one!”
“Hide it quick! There comes Miss—”
-all of which so confused the pi
lots that the ship came very nearly
running on the rocks.
SUPPORT THE ORCHESTRA.
Every high school that supports a
good orchestra has a very valuable as
set; one that may be used not only for
entertaining and keeping people to
gether, but for adding to the treasury.
But to make an orchestra a real asset,
we have to support it, mentally and ma
terially; mentally by not being antago
nistic towards it; materially by con
tributing to it. Even the nickels and
dimes count in buying instruments; and
that is what our high school orchestra
needs at present.
Little envelopes have been distributed
in which to place whatever contributions
you wish to make. Those who did not
go to the concert Sunday will still have
a chance to help buy instruments for
the orchestra. Mr. Edwards will be
glad to receive anything the students
desire to give for it, so do not lose
this chance to help a worthy cause.
The annual committee, determinec
that this year’s production shall be the
best ever edited, has already startec
work. Together with the faculty ad
visory board the editor-in-ch'ef and the
business manager have elected the fol
lowing staff:
Assistant business manager—Eliza
beth Darling.
Associate editor—Charles Amole.
Photograph editor—Clarence Stone.
Snap-shot editor—Helen Forbis.
Society editor—Frances Elder.
Wit and humor editor—Claude Me
Iver.
Cartoonist—Alfred Dixon.
Art editors—Maxine Ferree and Ida
Mae Freeland.
Athletic editor—Moyer Sink.
Many of the editors have already as
sumed their duties; but of them all the
photograph editor has attracted the
most attention. His management for
the taking of the senior pictures ha
caused the greatest excitement and fur
nished the chief tojiic of conversation
for the last few days. However, the
business manager has been working just
as hard; if not, harder, in an unnoticed
way. Together with the faculty advisors.
Misses Beckwith and Leslie and Mr
Wunsch he let the engraving contract
to the Bush-Krebs Company, of Louis
ville, Kentucky, and the printing con
tract to the J. P. Bell Company, of
Lynchburg, Virginia, the printer of last
year's annual and known through ex
perience to be capable and efficient.
These are the facts of the case; but
this isn’t the surest guarantee of the
best annual ever edited. Hush, that’s
a big secret—something altogether origi
nal and uniquely attractive ! Hurry up
annual board and clear up the mystery!
The curiosity of the student body is
keyed to a high pitch.

of Virginia McClamrock leading yells;
a semi-circle of green trees with here
and there an autumn frosted clump of
leaves; a young shiek with an embryonic
mustache and a new-model vest; lusty
voices from the grand stand—“Hoi’ ’em;
hold em”, a blue sky with a white moon;
feet tangled in chains as men raced
over the side-lines after the ball; white
clouds above the trees; pungent odor
of cigarette smoke; a newspaper re
porter taking notes; vigorous clapping
in the grand stand; a brown grasshop

Junior in pink rompers; boys on a roof
cheering; one Professor Strickland
sporting a derby and a red tie—and in
shirt sleeves and vest; congratulations;
the exodus through the gate; the speed
ing away of cars; the drooping colors
of Winston; cheers from cars carrying
G. H. S. rooters; twilight; memories.
SENIORS SHARE AUTOS
We don’t need revolutions and such
idlings to promote democracy. It can
be done in a more quiet way. This the
seniors have proven by going about
quietly, soliciting autos to carry people
to Saturday’s game. They had an
nounced previously to the students that
Ley would be at the school or at the
reshyterian church to take to the game
those who had no way to go, and were
on hand as planned. All this remember
was not broadcasted by blaring trump
ets but quietly and with fine spirit,
-hat’s the kind of democracy every
high school needs; and as the seniors
lave started it we want them to know
diat we are behind them. Moreover we
lope that democracy will be contagious
and before the next game that the sen
iors won’t have to bear the entire brunt
of the work, but that the other classes
will take it upon themselves to follow
this sjilendid example.
