The meeting was opened by John Betts, president of Hi-Y No. 2. Following the opening Mr. N. M. Cates, a former High Point Hi-Y man but now with the Greensboro Daily Record, gave an account of the organi zation in his home town and what great results came from his Hi-Y. After Mr. Cates, Mr. F. R. Casper, the daddy of Hi-Y, gave an interesting talk about the first club that was organ ized. He pointed out the differences in the boys in school and in the Y. M. C. A. since the Hi-Y was formed. Mr. Casper showed the members what great work ought to be accomplished by the pres ent one, too. To the new members Mr. C. D. Yost gave the formal welcome and stressed the fact that the new members should carry on the work that has been started by the clubs. Mr. Yost urged the mem bers to be careful when electing mem bers and to elect those boys who were known to live up to the fine Hi-Y stand ards of clean speech, clean sports, clean living, clean scholarship and contagious Christian character. After Mr. Yost’s talk it was agreed to combine the two Hi-Y clubs into one and have Mr. C. W. Phillips as the lead er. A limit of 25 members was agreed upon. Lots of Hi-Y clubs for the fresh men and sophomores will be started in order that the present club will be main tained as the members graduate from High School. Mr. Phillips ended the ])rogram by giving a short synopsis of the conference at Camp Herman, also discussing the plans for the coming year. A good lunch was given to the 15 boys who were present, and a delightful evening was had by all. New members are Ned Lipscomb, Pete Wyrick, Guy Hill, Howard Wimbish, and Eugene Cox. Thursday night, September 10, the men of the faculty of G. H. S. gave a sup per at the Y. M. C. A. for the boys who are going off to college. Mr. E. D. Yost, of the Y. M. C. A., told briefly why the ^*Y” did this kind of thing, and that it loved the boys and would miss them. He also said that boys belonging to the “Y” at college would have free membership to the “Y” in their home town during the summer. Mr. Aycock made a short talk in which he told the boys that if they won any honors in scholarship or athletics, to keep right on working and not think that that was all that was necessary. Start ing right was the point stressed by Mr. Atkinson. Mr. Phillips told the boys that they were entering a new environ ment which was practically a change of life, and that they must keep themselves in hand. “Greensboro High School has always been interested in you boys and will continue to be so; it will follow your careers in college with interest,” said Mr. Phillips. C. C. Fordham, J. A. Farthing and Homer Coltrane also made short talks. Several of the boys also made short talks. The following are the members of last year’s class who were present: Fred Burroughs, Arthur Davant, Robert Stone, Lacy Andrews, Lacy Wyrick, Edgar Young, Bill Scott, James Caudle, Worth Ferree, Julius Witten, Connie Wyrick, Roger Haller, Curtis Wilson, Mead Connelly and Stanley Sturm. MR. WUNSCH, TOM RING, TROY ZIGLAR, GEORGE NEWMAN TOUR NORTH Visited Washington, New York, Quebec, Montreal, and Other Points of Interest. During the past summer Mr. W. R. Wunsch, Troy Ziglar and George New man, Jr., of the High School, and Tom King, of Oak Ridge, made a trip through the eastern states and part of Canada. The tourists left bright and early on the morning of August 1 in a Ford car stripped down to a front seat and the gas tank, refurnished with lock-boxes for clothes. The boys took turns at driv ing and each had his daily duties of cranking, folding bed clothes and strap ping the two pup tents on the sides of the car. The boys slept on the ground nearly every night. The first day the boys reached Rich mond. Washington was reached the next day. Two days were spent there, with pup tents pitched in the tourist camp on the banks of the Potomac. Gov ernment buildings and Arlington were visited; then an airplane ride was taken over the city. From Washington the boys moved to ward the north, through Baltimore to Philadelphia. There they slept in a field and were drenched by a midnight rain. Atlantic City came next on the schedule. A mid-day swim in the ocean increased the tan and the blisters, while an hour on the famous board-walk make them envious of those who could afford to loaf there. Edited by Elizabeth Rockwell Ye exchange editor wishes to thank the different High Schools and Colleges for so generously contributing toward the filling of the exchange box. Owing to the fact that I have been literally swamped with exchanges, and having but one column in which to re humble criticisms and sincere appro bations. High Midway Stude iit—Charlottesville School, Charlottesville, Va. Your enterprising paper reflects cred it upon your equally enterprising ad vertising staff. But the scribe in charge should know that it is really bad form to publish a football schedule on the front page. Why not consolidate your “ads” on the back page, and reserve the first three pages for news? Sure ly, articles as well written as yours de serve better location. YELLS Greensboro Rah ! Rah ! Greensboro Rah ! Rah ! Who Rah? Who Rah? Greensboro Rah ! Rah ! Team—Team—Team. When you’re up you’re up When you’re down you’re down But when you’re up against Greensboro You’re upside down. Mute Yell 15 Rahs for Team. Gr-een-sb-oro Gr-een-sb-oro That’s the way to spell it Here’s the way to yell it Greensboro !! Greensboro ! Greensboro ! “Beans, beans, everywhere, and not a one to eat!” HENRY BIGGS PRESENTED WITH SILVER LOVING CUP At the chapel assembly Tuesday, Sep tember 22, Mr. Phillips presented Henry Biggs with a silver loving cup which he won for the High School in the National Good Roads essay contest. The cup was given by the University of North Caro lina for the best essay submitted by a High School pupil of this state on the subject, “Economies Resulting from Highway Improvement.” More than 70 schools competed in this contest. Henry’s essay has been for warded to Washington to represent this state in the national contest for the Harvey S. Firestone scholarship. The winner of this scholarship will have all expenses paid in any college of his choice for four years. Rifty, Rifty, Riff-Raff Chifty,Chifty, Chiff-Chaff Riff! Raff! Chiff! Chaff! ^ Let’s give ’em the horse laugh Heeeee—Haaaa ! Winston!! P. H. 8. Noise—Fairfax High School, Fairfax, Oklahoma. Congratulations upon your new, beau tiful building. Do you not think though, that such a building should house a bet ter publication? Perhaps, if your items were printed on a different grade of paper you would achieve better results. You should be proud of your adver tisements. Hit ’em high! Hit ’em low Come on Greensboro let’s go!! Bang! (Everybody whistle) Boom! Greensboro—Team! Team! Team! School Song- Tune: “Washington-Lee Swing.’ Rip ! Raaaay ! Rah ! Rip! Raaaay! Rah! Team! Team! Team! Ga te Ci ty Ga te Ci ty Ga te Ci ty Ga te Ci ty Ga te Ci ty Greensboro. Team! Team! Team! From Atlantic City up the coast by night to Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, where the quartet camped for a week and made daily ferry boat trips to the great city of New York. The boys tramped the streets until their feet hurt, looking at the wonderful lights, the in teresting people, and the new sights. They went to see the renowned Ziegfeld Follies; dined one Sunday with Mr. Ed wards and Misses Killingsworth, Beck with, Grogan and Martin, who were at tending summer school at Columbia; took in Coney Island, China Town and Greenwich Village. From the New Jersey Cliffs the fliv- mer moved up the Palisades into the Adirondacks and the beautiful Lake Region. Here the quartet toured the region near Plattsburg famous for its natural scenery. On August 17 the quartet got pass ports and crossed into Canada. New scenes, new people, new customs! They were impressed by the evidences of the Catholic, religion everywhere; roadside shrines and little metallic figures of the Virgin Mary worn around the neck. From Montreal the boys went north to Quebec, through territory that might have been European, judging from its looks. From Quebec the boys went to St. Anne de Beaupre, then back to Que bec and across Canada to Ottawa, the capital. Thence they journeyed to^ Nia gara Falls, where they crossed back into the States and were glad to get there. They saw the wonderful sights to be be held here and again turned their faces to the South. They came through Mary land into Virginia, where they camped near New Market and toured the fam ous Endless Caverns. Then on back through tlie Shenandoah Valley, down by Lynchburg, and arrived in Greensboro on the 30th, as tanned as Indians, but happier and wiser than when they left. Roosevelt News—Roosevelt High School, Seattle, Washington. Your paper is a credit to your school. Every article was well written. The exchange editor read your paper from beginning to end, and anxiously awaits future issues. The Vindex—Elmira Free Academy, El mira, N. Y. Hello and Welcome!! The neatest bit seen to date. Don’t fail to keep us on your exchange list. Your inspiring edi torial had the “Dr. Frank Crane tinge to it.” Every article was complete in structure and thought. The only fault the exchange editor could find (and that was over-shadowed by the rest of the paper) was the advertising layout. Don’t spread your “Ads” so much. All considered, you have a paper to( be proud of. Keep up the good work. The Raleigh Student—Athletic Number, Raleigh High School, Raleigh, N. C. Congratulations upon your new High School building. It is worthy of such a well written paper. But, don’t you think that a school of your calibre should have more news? HIGH LIFE WORK SHOP IS OPEN TO ALL EDITORS Inez Murray was elected head of Field Hockey for this years team at the first meeting, September 26, held in Room B-8. Miss Causey, the coach, gave a brief outline of her plans for the team. A large enthusiastic group of girls were present. The out-look for this year’s team is exceptionally good. Louie’s place has some good eats. Freshmen, but have you tried Mrs. Co mer’s hash house? The room across from Office No. 10 is now open for business. All editors may feel free to come in at any time during the day to work on High Life. They will find the long table especially useful in making up the paper. Besides the table, there are two desks and a cabinet in which shears and paste are kept. There are also many useful books ready for use. A good typewriter that is easy to operate is available for the use of the editors. All issues of High Life are on file for reference. There is a file for jokes and one for paragraphics on the main desk. Every body in school is urged to contribute to the contents of these files. B. H. 8. Life—Beloit High School, Be loit, Kansas. The exchange editor thoroughly en joyed reading your paper. Your editor ial box is unusually clever and the edi torials terse and to the point. How about letting us know where you are lo cated? You might impart this infor mation in your heading. More variation in the type of your headlines would im prove your paper. G. H. S. GLEE CLUB BEGINS YEAR’S WORK The opening of school called together the old members of the Glee Club and quite a few new ones to begin their work for a new year. The club meets every day at the fourth period. During this period new songs are learned and old ones being thoroughly practiced so as to be perfect when the club is called on to sing. The Glee Club of this year is quite an improvement over that of last year. More voices have been added and greater effects may be obtained. Mr. Gildersleeve is the director and promises a bright future for the club. “If you wish to belong, come and join before it is too late,” is Mr. Gilder- sleeve’s advice. CLUBS SUBSCRIBE TO LE PETIT JOURNAL Le Petit Journal, a little French news paper printed in Garden City, N. Y. has been subscribed to by the French 3 and 4 students of Miss Coleman, Miss Mitchell, and Mr. Rowe.

Over tens of thousands of college and high school students used this pa per last year. The French teachers are going to have Le Petit Journal studied in classes ev ery Friday. “Forward March!” “Hold my Hand!” “You hold my comb and I’ll hold your vanity.” “Shew! Shew!” said Mr. Charley and away went the student body with Mar guerite leading the snake dance on the Gridiron.
