Wunsch Faculty Adviser Miss Geraldine Kelly Faculty Adviser Miss Mary Wheeler High Life is the best high school paper in North Carolina—at least it was last year. We know, because to the High Life was given the George Stevens lov ing cup. It has just reached us, and we are proud of it. To a man who is interested enough in school newspapers to offer a loving cup for the best one, we are very grateful. He has given it through the University of North Carolina, and to that institu tion we are, also, grateful. Perhaps most of all we appreciate the work of last year’s High Life staff. They worked faithfully and hard. They did the most to make High Life an ex cellent paper. Let us, too, do our part. Let’s make our paper better, even, than it was last year. If everybody will not be bashful, and will contribute his best, we are sure to do it. of promise, on that eventful night three wise men carried to the lowly bed their gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh. With reverend adoration they knelt be fore His simple throne, worshipping in silent awe the ineffable gift of God’s only Son, sent as the Redeemer of all man kind. Upon this Christmas day, like those wise men of old, we too approach our Lord with sacred gifts. Before His glor ious throne with reverential awe we place the frankincense of our affections, the myrrh of human kindness, and the precious gold of our lives and our hearts. As thus Thy courts we tread, look down, oh. King of Men, and search our hearts! Accept these gifts, we pray, in the name of Him who gave His life for us; Whose birth we lovingly commemo rate upon this Christmas day. Elizabeth Smith. Honor is the best government. All the relations of man involve honor. With out it, business on the present great scale could not exist, without it we could depend on nothing. The alternative of honor would be force. No government by force could be just. Therefore, hon or must be the best government. But could people live in their proper rela tions or their own honor? Some people have none. Honor could not be tbe only ruler of a people. Our government must have something besides honor. It must provide for the honor lacking in some people. It is like the theory that an archy is the best government depend ing solely on the honesty and honor of its people, without power, would be about as practicable as one depending on the good citizenship of its people, with out laws. THE HOLIDAYS Friend, Romans, countrymen and fac ulty, lend me your ears (clean ones pre ferred) ; being this the holiday season, in which everybody enjoys the holidays, I will, to the best of my ability, slip you some plain and fancy advice on where and how to spend the aforesaid holidays. Well, to begin with, if you are count ing on spending the holidays away from your domicile, always pick an uncle or aunt or some other relative who pos sesses a lot of jack and who is free with it. This always makes the stay interesting. Now, if you prefer to hon or your own home by your honorable presence (this is best in case your sis ter is entertaining some swell college girls) you may do so. Next, what you should eat during the holidays. Well, I most always introduce a large number of groceries to my face during this period but this year I plan not to eat so much. Now, my dear reader, if you wish to get a more de tailed knowledge of what I am going to eat, just take yourself around to Louie’s place, the Oh Henry, Hank’s Hash House and other eating places, read the menu, and double it. That is all I am going to eat, just a light lunch, you know; but I shall eat a big supper as per usual on Christmas day. Then what you should wear during these days of rest. Not to be too radi cal, I would advise you to wear your clothes, but for goodness sake don’t wear any of the gifts you get for Christmas, as this is a serious matter, and someone may shoot you for disturbing the peace while wearing some of the neckties you may receive. Also, I hope you will get the holiday spirit—not spirits—and enjoy yourself to the fullest extent, and don’t get into any trouble sucb as marrying (Miss K. please notice!) or get drunk, which some times gives the individual a very nice chance to get inside information on the system of jails of the country, and to make friends with the cops. Do your Christmas swapping early, and I wish you one and all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Alfred Dicksox. Good citizenship is not a matter to be taken into consideration only by grown people. It concerns us, girls and boys very vitally. We should be good citizens in school for two reasons. First to train us to take our responsibility when we leave school; and second, to make school a better place in which to live. CHRISTMAS Christmas is a time of gay festivity when, for the s^iace of a few hours, the world forgets all petty anxieties and decks herself out for one grand holiday. Now care-free laughter echoes from every side, as impatient hands untie the knotted cords about mysterious boxes, spilling forth their unex^iected contents amid exclamations of joyous surprise. The windows of each happy home are garlanded with fresh green wreaths and here and there from behind drawn cur tains peep Christmas trees in all their splendor. But Christmas means far more than this. On December the twenty-fifth, over nineteen hundred years ago, there was born in a lowly manger, a Savior which is Christ the Lord. Guided by the star SENIOR APPRECIATION The Greensboro Daily News declared that the Senior plays madq a “hit”; everybody said they were a “howling suc cess”; but all of this praise should be divided by long division in order for a fair distribution of it to be made to the many kind friends who helped the Sen iors to accomplish the task to which they set their hands, heads and hearts. To Mr. W. R. Wumsch, Miss Iona Gro gan, and Miss Mary Wheeler, the faith ful, patient and efficient coaches, the Seniors express their deep appreciation for making such success and praise pos sible for arriateurs. With such meager equipment as the high school possessed, it was impossible to present even the simplest play; much work and planning was necessary. And with no “wherewithal” stored away in a dramatic treasury, the necessary prop erties could not be purchased and held at the high school property. It was onlj^ through the kindness of the citi zens of Greensboro that the Seniors could set up a stage at all. From Bloxton Furniture store the stage furniture was secured; Van Lindley supplied the brid al bouquet; the Southside Hardware com pany made the rooms complete by lend ing a mantel; and the Gladys Shoppe HONOR ROLL FOR NOVEMBER Cex^tral High Elizabeth Smith, Elizabeth Stone, Virginia Jackson, Bob Stone, Mar tha Broadhurst, Lois Dorsett, Vir ginia Bain, Maxine Ferree, Betty Harrison, Elizabeth Cartland, By ron Sharpe, Marion Shaw, Ethel Morgan, Frances Elder, Marshall Camjibell, Helen Felder, Margaret Hood, Dorothy Lea, Dorothy Mayes, Mary Lyon, Edward Men denhall, James Tidwell, Margaret Ferguson, Glenn Boyd MacLeod, Katie Stewart, Weldon Beacham, James Robinson, Louise McCul loch, Helen Stockard, Marguerite Mason, Hilda Smith, Elizabeth Campbell, John Mebane, Elizabeth Rockwell, John Thornton, Luna 'Bj^rd, Mary Price, Irene Hester, Gertrude Hobbs, Pauline Medearis, Thelma Sherrell, Frances Johnson, Mary McCollum, Lois Mitchell, Annie Young, P.

The footlights and floods were the results of Mr. Comer’s labors. Miss Coleman, as faculty adviser of staging and business management, helped in a fine way to make the produc tion a success. Miss Wilma Green made the programs; other necessities were fur nished by Senior mothers. It is to all these and to all the other faithful sup porters that the Seniors express thanks and gratitude. The proceeds from tlie two presenta tions of the trio of comedies will be used to defray some of the expenses nec essary for producing the 1925 Reflector. Now, fellow students, when May brings an Annual into your possession, you will happily remember that you had a part in producing it, for the student body was a group of loyal supporters in buying and selling tickets, and after all the large audiences was the most out standing proof that the plays were a success. The Sexiors. NEW YEAR One more year draws near to the end of the course. Before we return from the gaieties of the holidays, another year, with all of its glory, will have risen on the horizon—a year with all of its golden opportunities waiting to be seized by eager hands. As you stana on the brink of this New Year, think not of the days that have gone. They have been finished; that record book has been closed forever. No use thinking of the past; the future is before you. Look at the glorious days that are to come. They are filled with wonderful possibilities, each crowding and pushing to reach the front and be undertaken first. A clean page! A new chance I How shall we use it? How will the daily pages of our biography for 1925 read? Shall we be proud or ashamed of them? The usual idle resolutions are a stand ing joke. They are made one day and broken the next. That is worse, even, than not making them at all, because it shows so plainly a weakening a will power. Real resolutions, and the kind we will make, are character-building! Let’s resolve right now to strive to keep those pages free from all blots; to snatch each opportunity and possibility that presents itself; to make our life really count for something worth while, and to make the chapter of the coming year the best, in every way, that we have ever written. Garxett Gregory. ► When night has set her silver lamp on h igh, Then is the time for study. —Bailey. Zeal is very blind, or badly regulated, when it encroaches upon the rights of others.—Quesnel. Know then this truth (enough for man to know), Virtue cdone is happiness below. —Pope. December 18, 192j^ CHRISTMAS COMES BUT ONCE A YEAR When the roll is called at I^yons, N. C., Christmas day. Miss Inabelle Coleman will be there to answer “present!” “Whe7-e are you going, my pretty maid?” “Home to dear Beaufort, sir,” she said. ■‘And may I accompany you, dearest mxiid ?” “YovAl have to, hubby dear, or I'll crown you on the head!” (So says Mrs. C. W. P. to Mr. C. W. P.) All late parallel readings must be sent to Miss Beckwith at Rosemary, N. C. • High Lights On ‘‘Hi” Edited by Helex Felder M V V T V Another Christmas approaches, anoth er “Junior’Senior,” another New Year' Hail to the Holidays! Misses Grogan and Lottie Morgan have just stepped over to Reidsville for the holidays. Moravian Falls, N. C., claims Mr. Far thing this Christmas. “His Master’s Voice” is calling, so Mr. Pultz obeys Harrisonburg, Va., in its call. If Santa were to check up on absen tees from Greensboro this year, he’d find that Miss Glenn is setting out for At lanta, Ga. Mr. Comer does the thing up in style, too. He’s going home to North Wilkes- boor for a while; then he’s going duck hunting in South Carolina. Miss Causey is one of those who are proud to call Greensboro home. She lives on Asheboro street. If one asks Miss Hall where’s she’s going, she says: “Rougemont, N. C.” ♦ “Say it with holly.” Mr. Edwards will be at Holly Springs at least part of the time. Raleigh is honored. Miss Tillett will be there for Christmas. Concord beseeches; Miss Dry responds. Miss Moore hasn’t decided whether to “sink or swim,” but she knows one thing —as soon as school is out she beats it for Burgaw, N. C. Miss Walker gallavants around some these holidays. She’s going swimming Christmas day, and then is later to fly away to Goldsboro. Ah! Something’s in the air! Mr. Ed wards has other interests besides those in school. It has to do with the old old story—love. Imve for what, you say= Love for poultry—not for eating pu^. poses alone, but for other ones, too. He proudly admits that his chickens recent ly won four ribbons in a poultry show High Life editors and advisers have had their heads in the clouds for the last wmek. Have they had reason or not? Judge by the George Stevens Cup repos ing in the hall of G. H. S. High Life won that cup for being the best publi cation of its kind in the state. Hiss Coleman had to be drawn away from it inch by inch when it first came, because of its attraction. Has the earning of the holidays acted as an exhilirating stimulant on some of the faculty? From appearances, it would seem so. Just the other day we found one of the fairer sex of them walking the fence by the barns. We wonder if Mr. Wunsch dreams about his work in his sleep. If he does, he probably sees about a thousand peo ple calling, “Page Mr. Wunsch! Call for ‘Bobbie’!” He always has something to do and does it. He is a valuable asset to the school and is always readv to do for others. Here’s to an author, poet, musician, playwright, actor, teach er, and willing helper! The pageant at the P. T. A. meeting came out fine. It was an excellent in spiration, too, since it presented a deep look into school life to the parents. Miss Kelly is “on the fence.” She hasn’t decided what to do yet. “Mica, mica, parva stella.” “Twinkle, twinkle, little star.”—Latin. This time, however, the star is at the top of a Christmas tree, not in a Latin book, and gazing at it are Miss Martin and her two little nieces. The scene is laid in Newnan, Ga. What on earth wfill Christmas seem to Greensboro, since Mr. Wunsch is in Mon roe, La.? Little as he is, he fills a big place, and his talents are missed here. Dear Students and Teachers: Here I am in Fremont, N. C. Hope Santa will bring me something good. I’m going to hang up my stocking and you’d better do the same. Frank B. Aycock, Jr. Miss Killingsworth seems to think that Santa Claus won t come to her unless she’s at home; so back at Abbeville, S. C., she goes for the holidays. Seniors, Seniors, Seniors ! Everywhere you go, it’s Seniors! Miss Killingsworth is proud of them, you may be sure— she feels she can trust them. At eighth period the study hall in Miss Grogan’s room is conducted by the students them selves, who are sixth, seventh and eighth semesters. Sales sound like common things just in themselves, but they are anything but common when conducted by Seniors. Miss Blackmon declares that all Christ mas gifts this year must be addressed to Dunlap street, Lancaster, S. C. Miss Bush will be right “on deck” when old Santa strikes Greensboro. “Back to the old red hills of Georgia” sings Miss Mercer at Bradley. Miss Wine is spending Christmas at Culpepper, Va. Here’s your chance, Miss Wine, to stir up the suffragettes. Mr. Fred Archer will receive Santa Claus at 435 West 119th street. New York Citv. Miss Mary Wheeler says that she fears she is not well enough known in Farm- ville, N. C., so please address her care of Superintendent Wheeler. Mr. Johnston is at Wake Forest this Chiistmas. Some people seem very anx ious to know, so this is for their benefit. Today industrial conditions favor the college mnn.—Charles M. Schzvab. MISS BECKWITH RECEIVES FRUIT SHOWER “T es, we have some bananas, apples, oranges, and everything else that’s good to eat!” Such must hav'e been the ex clamation which Miss Beckwith uttered when she walked into her session room on Tuesday, December 16, and beheld the scene before her. Her desk was bounteously covered with fruit, and in the heart of each gift was written a mes sage of love and gratitude to her. This year a new plan is being tried. The sixth semester entertains the eighth at the annual banquet before Christmas, and the others follow after Christmas. This is to prevent such a great crowd at one banquet. The semester six class, under the direction and aid of Misses Killingsworth and Tillet, are ready to set the precedent. They staged their jollities Thursday, December 18, 1924, so “Then heigh ho, the holly, This life is most jolly!” —Shelley. The only thing lacking in G. H. S. dramatics is a good curtain for the audi torium. We hope Santa Claus peeped in on the Parent-Teacher Association meeting the night of the pageant. At least a hint to the wise The South has another benefactor in Mr. James B. Duke. Education in gen eral has a champion in him and it will not forget his bounty soon. A well-wisher requested that the fol lowing be published in High Life: “No serious injuries were caused by the crowds that rushed to the High School Friday and Saturday nights in order to secure just a small taste of the exquisRe candy which Maurice Turner made and presented to the booth. Keep up the spirit, Maurice! You're doing fine!
