FORMER G.H.S. STUDENTS
LINGER LONG IN HALLS
Has Greensboro High School suddenly
acquired a new charm? Is there really
something irresistible about this place,
usually considered by students as being
utterly devoid of anytliing interesting,
charming or fascinating? Perhaps some
person within the school holds the secret
of this magnet; perhaps a teacher (Mr.
Roe is quite popular with the girls, it is
understood) or some pretty blue-eyed
freshman maiden, or yet a big rough
football man. Whatever or whoever it
may be, the fact remains that there is
something here that has a pretty strong
power of attraction, for during the last
few weeks the school has been visited by
a great many of last year’s, and even
ycar-before-last’s seniors.
It is indeed strange that seniors of
past years, who have been so anxious to
leave High School, so hasty to speak of
the dullness of school life, so important
and self-centered, should be seen gazing
with longing eyes into the classes that
once they only tolerated. From all sides
the cry goes up, from mournful-eyed
girls and boys, “I wish I was coming
back,” or “Oh, you don’t know how I
wish I were going to be over here this
year.”
Think of it! They want to come back !
Is it possible that they really mean that
they would like to be going back to
High School? Yes, it is the truth; for
it is very hard, after being an all-su
preme senior, to have to become once
again a humble, ignorant freshman; to
have to be looked down upon when be
fore they have looked down; to have to
look up when they have had people to
look up to them; in fact, it is very hard
lo start from the bottom again.
So fair maidens of the blue eyed,
golden-haired variety, and big boys of
the brown-eyed, black-haired variety,
and teachers who resemble the highest
type of vamp or sheik, take a back seat,
as none of you alone hold the magic
magnet that is drawing those pupils of
old. All of you combined have a slight
influence in causing the return of the
finished; but the thing that draws them
most is what plain every-day people call
homesickness. Our one time joyful, de
fiant, happy-go-lucky seniors have been
tossed out on the cruel sea of life as col
lege freshmen; and, G. H. S., they are
at last really beginning to appreciate
PHILLIPS OUTLINES
POLICIES AT CHAPEL
New Principal Says Happiness Should
Be Paramount Among Teachers
and Students.
On T'uesday and Wednesday, Septem
ber 1.5 and l(i, respectively, the first
chajicl programs were lield.
Mr. Pliillii)s asked the ])upils not to
consider tliis as a regular j^rogram, but
just a meeting wliere lie could talk over
new rules and clianges. First he said
that lie wanted the students to be liapjiy
and that the faculty stood ready to give
all possible aid in furthering the hai)})!-
ness of all.
He emifliasi/.ed the fact that pupils
should not enter the building at the ring
ing of the 8:2.5 bell, Imt wait for the
8:80 bell.
'I’lie difliculty in changing classes w’as
next stressed by the jirincipal. ‘T.oafing
in the halls is the biggest difliculty,’’ he
said. “'I'liree minutes is sufficient time
in which to change classes and there
is no reason why anyone should be trod
den uj)on in the rush,” said Mr. Phil
lips.
“Much time and effort has been put
forth in making beautiful lawns in front
of the new building, and it w'ill be great
ly apiireciated if the ]nipils will make
an effort to w'alk on tlie boardwalk which
has been jirovided for that purpose,” he
continued.
In conclusion the jirincipal assured
the students that he considered charac
ter-building and doing the right thing
from impulse within the secret of all
liappiness. “I want you all to be happy
and satisfied,” he said, “and in doing
so, I w-ant you to be happy in doing
what is right because you know it is
right—and not because I said so.”
CHARLES W. PHILLIPS SUCCEEDS
LEE H. EDWARDS AS PRINCIPAL
P. T. A. WELCOMES NEW
TEACHERS AT STATION
AND SECURES HOMES
I Mad Rush Made for the Men
, Teachers—Are Distributed
“Quick as Hot Cakes.”
On the ’I'uesdtiy before school opened,
a committee from the Praent-Teaeher
.\ssociation met all of the teachers at
the station. Homes were secured for
the new faculty members, and the old
ones were carried to the doors of their
homes already engaged.
According to rejjorts, there were not
nearly enough teachers to accommodate
all the i)eople who desired to liave one
or two of these learned scliolars in their
homes.
A mad rush was made for tlie “men
teachers” and they were distributed as
“(piick iis hot cakes.” Many of the ])eo-
])le insisted that there were not enough
men teaching in Greensboro this year,
while still others remarked tliat men
were miglitj' nice things to have around
the house. T’hese remarks s])eHk very
well for our “men teachers.”
T'lie P. 'P. A. hopes that none of the
Jiew teacliers lost their way after arriv
ing in Green.sboro, as they did last year.
One exj)erienced teacher said: “It’s a fine
thing to have some one meet the new
pedagogues, for it is very easy to get
lost in a (Jreensboro.”
(Continued from page one)
cause of his wonderful disposition, was
demanded. He was also i)resident of the
Dialectic IJterary Society.
In the spring of the year 1921 Chas.
\V. Phillip.s graduated from the Uni
versity, receiving his A.B. degree, later
lie completed two of the four summers
work necessary for an M.A. degree from
Columbia University.
In the fall of 1921 Mr. Phillips became
a member of the English department of
Greensboro High School. He taught
there for two years and won the love and
admiration of all his students. After
this he was assistant to Miss Hunter
Irvin, principal of Aycock school. In
the year 192-1-1925, Mr. Phillips became
principal of the Caldwell school when
Mr. Edwards left to fill the vacancy
made at the High School hy G. B. Phil
lips. When Mr. Lee H. Edwards left
Mr. C. W. Phillips was elected princi
pal of the High School.

FIGURES ON HIGH SCHOOL
ENROLLMENT ARE GIVEN
'rhe pupils of Greensboro Central
Higli Scliool began the 1925-26 session
on September third when they came for
their book slijis. They reported again
on Monday, the seventh, for regular
work.
Forty-five teachers conqiose the per
sonnel of the faculty. Of the .students
ihere are 1-31 in the fir.st year (that is
including eighth and ninth grad«^), 129
Sophomores, 110 Juniors, and 125 Sen
iors, making a total of 795 registered.
It is expected tliat 850 pupils will be
enrolled within another w'^eek as new
ones arc coining in eiK'h lay.
Concerning ideals .set for the .school
l)y the aiithoritie.s, Mr. C. W. Phillip.s
made the following statement:
“'I'his year we want to do a little
better in everytliing than we have ever
done before. If High Life has been
good, we want it to be a little better. In
athletics, in dramatics, in deliating, and
in .scholarsliip we want to work a little
harder, go a little farther and accom-
lilish a little more. Particularly do we
want to stress literary work and scholar-
.shij). 'I’here have been three new classes
organized along literary lines: a class in
Creative English, one in Dramatics, and
one in .Tournalism. Our commercial de
partment will come in for a share of
improvement. We want to turn out bet
ter and more efficient students. The
kind that business men are demanding.
“It is our purpose to let the folks in
town, the parents and citizens, know
what we are doing through publicity,
through High Life, and through each
individual’s life, by his living the kind
of High School life we would like him
to.”
FIRST TEACHERS’ MEETING
HELD IN H. S. AUDITORIUM
(Continued from page one)
“There is too much standardization in
America. Every child is beginning to be
run through the same educational groove.
What will the nation do when its people
become alike? It would be a drab
jilace to live in,” the superintendent be
lieved.
Too much standardization — fathers
wanting their .sons to be ju.st like them
selves, going to the same church, at
tending the identical college, joining the
same fraternity, taking up the same
business or jirofession. “I don’t want
to teach my boy to be like his father—
be a University man—be a member of
my fraternity. I want him to be a bet
ter man, at least a different man, than
I,” he said.
“The mo.st important meeting is held
in the school room, and that morning and
that school room should be conducted on
a democratic plan with encouragement
for all, no matter in which direction they
are shooting.”

Among them arc Miss Coleman, Mr.
