WE SATISFY 212 Corcoran Street Durham, North Carolina DRAMATIC CLASS IS GREAT SUCCESS Particular Phase of Work As signed for Each Day After Pattern of Prof. Koch. JOKES EDITED BY Claude Sykes The course in Dramatics, one of the new features of the High School sche dule, is proving very successful under the direction of Mr. W. R. Wunsch. The class, consisting of thirty members meets daily at the eighth period in 106. The chief text book for the year is Hamlet’s “Speech to the Players,” which is taken up and studied in detail. The class is paterned after the course oifer- ed by Mr. Koch at U. N. C. On Mondays, the mechanics of the stage are studied. These include the theatre staff and each officer’s duties, the conventional, cyclorama, and Port manteau stages, the uses of conventional scenery, stage directions and plans, lighting and the stage of the future. The different kinds of plays, with each defined, is the theme for Tuesday’s les sons. The parts of a play, enter and exit, the roles in a play, the one act play and how it differs from the longer ones, are all discussed in full. The study of plays such as comedies, folk type, historical, fantasy, morality, force, tragedy, and satire with examples of each come under the study of plays also. The class reports at least one, one-act play a week and this is usually done on Tuesday. In connection with composition and creation, the Wednesdays lessons are used. These include the dramatic situ ation, dramatic monologue and dialogue, the meaning of drama and reporting on plots. Each student works up his plot, then submits it to the class for sugges tions and then writes his play. For Thursdays acting is the topic of interest. Four lessons are given on the body, six on the voice, including laugh ing, crying, dialect and enunciation. Characterization also plays a large part in the course. During the year every pupil is given an opportunity to coach a play therefore learning something of productions. Laboratory study is the general lesson on Friday. The class makes miniature stages of scenes with lighting and prop erty included. Also scene painting and make-up are parts studied on Friday. As a climax of this year’s work the three best plays written by members of this class will be produced to select the best. The scenery will be painted by the class, the play will be coached by members of the class and all arrange ments made by classmen. MR. WUNSCH MAKES TALK AT BOYS’ CLUB ^ Boys Urged to Secure Outside Men to Come and Make Talks—Many New Members Present. “Trying and succeeding and making mistakes is the only way to succeed”, declared Mr. W. R. Wunch, in a talk before the Boy’s Club of the First Pres byterian Church at it’s weekly meeting, Wednesday, October 7. The theme of Mr. Wunch’s talk was “Making Mistakes”. “What are you worth”, continued Mr. Wunsch. “What is your name worth? What does it mean when you say that you will meet a friend at the post office at one minute past three?” The speaker cited the case of Fannie Hurst who once worked in Child’s res taurant in New York. She wrote many stories and sent them off to be pub lished ; but each time they were re turned. One day a story of her’s was accepted. Now she receives twenty- five cents for every word that she writes because she was willing to make mistakes and try again. Mr. Wunsch closed his talk by say ing, “Every stream in looking for the ocean. Everyone of us is looking for a bigger life. Our degree of willingness to do and dare determines our degree of success”. Mr. Wunsch expressed the hope that the club could secure outside men to come in and give talks. Mr. Williams: “Athletics are all right in their place, but Ernest must give more time to his studies.” Mrs. Williams: “Now don’t be too hard on Ernest. Why he just wrote me he had received two beautiful lamps in boxing. When he gets rewards like that it would be a shame to stop him.”— Cougar’s Paw. Mr. Goode (over long distance): “Hello, Sammy. Why didn’t you make better grades?” Sammy: “Can’t hear you, father.” Mr. Goode: “I say, couldn’t you make better grades?” Sammy: “I can’t hear you, father.” Mr. Goode: “I say, Sammy, do you need any money?” Sammy: “Yes sir, send me fifty dol lars, father.” J. Watson: “I’m leaving for Colorado next week.” J. W. Stone: “T. B.?” J. Watson: “No—Grand Canyon.” Mrs. Ridenhour: “Billy are you teach ing that parrot to swear.” Billy R.: “No mother I’m only teach ing him what* not to say.” Frosh: “We have the biggest drinker in the U. S. in our Class.” Soph: “And who is he?” Frosh: “The chap who drank Canada Dry.” P. Wyrick: “What makes you say Alice is catty.” M. Burroughs: “Why she’s ruined nine lives already.” Weldon B.: “I bought a car of you several weeks ago and you said that if anything went wrong you’d supply the broken parts”. Dealer: “Yes”? W. B.: “I’d like to get a nose, a shoulder blade and a big toe then.” A Brewer: “What makes you think you are smarter than your teacher?” B. Fife: “Well, doesn’t she always ask me questions so I can tell her.” M. Tilley: “What were Columbus’ rea sons. for discovering America?” Mr. Aycock: “He wanted to find a short route to the Indies.” M. T.: “Why didn’t he wait till they finished the Panama Canal.” “DR.

BOYS RETURN FROM LONG TRIP AT LAST Dick Burroughs and Ed Davant Arrive Unexpectedly After Traveling Fourteen Days. At 12:45, Thursday, October 15, two of Greensboro High’s prodigal sons, namely Dick Burroughs and Ed. Da vant, finished their “Coast to Coast trip. Two sun-tanned, tired and happy boys ■—rich in experience, too rich maybe they’ve worked in western wheat-fields, they’ve bummed rides all over the coun try, they’ve tramped highways over the mountains and hoboed freights across the deserts. Of the original group of four that left for California last summer with a skeet- er, the skeeter was the first companion to part from the rest. It was sold to raise money. Next was Clarence Phoe nix, who decided to stay over in Cali fornia and return by boat through the Panama Canal. The remaining trio met a man who was driving east and wanted one boy to help him drive. So Austin Comer came home first. He arrived a week ahead of Dick and Ed. Dick and Ed proceeded as before, com ing all the way home in fourteen days, bumming rides from passing cars. They are planning to re-enter school after Christmas, and to use the time until then in getting back to normal. ARCHER SEES NEED OF INDIVIDUALITY Greensboro Ranks First in the North Carolina Schools Because She Has Good Library Facilities. Before two full houses, matinee and evening, in both of which G. H. S. was well represented, Edward Waldemann, well-known New York actor, assisted by a cast of local talent, presented “Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde” at the Grand Theater, October 9. The play pleased both audiences greatly. Miss Mary Green, member of the fa culty of Aycock School, headed the cast of home talent as the fiancee of Dr. Jekyll. The other members were chosen from various walks of life in the city. All performed very capably, showing marked ability for amateurs. The audiences were especially thrilled by Mr. Waldemann’s vivid portrayal of the two characters, Jekyll and Hyde. They felt an intense sympathy for Dr. Jekyll in his misfortune, and horror gripped them when the repulsive Hyde appeared upon the stage. The situations in the play requiring the most delicate handling—those in which the identity of the leading char acter changes upon the stage—were es pecially well done by Mr. Waldemann. In all his acting he maintained complete freedom from artificiality. The proceeds from the play went to the Y. M. C. A. camp. “The reason for the fact that Greens boro has a higher educational rating than other North Carolina cities”, said Superintendent Fred Archer, in an in terview, October 13, “is, I think, that our schools have better equipment, es pecially library facilities. “Our students are as good as tbeirs; we have, on the whole, as good teachers; but when it comes to our libraries, and buildings, and supervised playgrounds, we have the edge on those folks.” Mr. Archer went on to state that he had listened to the speeches of the stu dent council members in the High School x\uditorium that morning; he had been impressed by the four principles which they discussed—loyalty, honor, co-op eration, and scholastic attainments. “It seems to me that those four things are really the main requirements for a successful high school. There is, how ever, a troublesome element in most schools,” he declared, “which must be eliminated for the development of those principles and for a school’s success. This Bolsheviek element—probably just three or four unruly spirits—will keep the whole school in a continual garage state if it has a chance. Now, we don’t want any garage at Greensboro High School. Mr. Phillips is no garage man; he is paid for something better than that.” “But, today, in America especially, we have another great need, which the schools must meet—the need for indi viduality. There is a tendency to standardize; most Americans are built after the same pattern, and the next generation is. going to be just like them, if standardization is not eliminated in the schools. When I heard those mem bers of your council stand up before the assembly this morning and explain the four principles on which a schools’ suc cess is laid, I felt we had taken a great step toward the development of indi viduality. But we must do more. I want to see the day when every boy and girl in Greensboro will be unafraid to stand up on his own feet and state his opinion on any question in clear, straightforward terms.” B. Wimbish: “How much is a hair cut?” Barber: “Fifty cents.” B. W.: “A shave?” Barber: “Twenty-five.” B. W.: “Shave my head.” ^ President: “The chair does not recog nize you. Miss Thurman, sit down.” N. Thurman: “Oh you stuck-up thing! 1 was introduced to you last week” Bradley Sweaters JUST pull it over and you are ready to go! That’s why most young fellows want one of these Bradley Shaker-Knit Pullovers. Come here for a real Bradley. Get the close- hugging “V” or cricket neck that sets so well.
