F. R. CASPER SPEAKS
TO BAPTIST BOY’S CLUB
Mr. F. R. Casper made a very inter
esting talk at the meeting of the Eoys’
Club of the First Eaptist church, Mon
day, November 16. Mr. Casper’s talk
centered around the 36th verse of the
fourth chapter of Mark. The speaker
told the story of Christ casting the dev
ils out of the swine.
“We see,” he declared, “that sin in a
hog caused it to commit suicide, yet hu
man beings literally wallow in sin and go
on perfectly satisfied. Let us all try
to be better Christians and witness for
Christ each day. We may not see any
definite results at the time, but God
sees our efforts.”
The meeting Monday, November 23,
was arranged in keeping with Thanks
giving. At this time Mr. Casper con
tinued his talk of the previous meeting
of tlie organization. He stated that the
soul of the sinner was dead until it came
to Christ and believed on him. “Christ
makes of a dead sinner,” he asserted, “a
live and healthy Christian when that soul
comes to Him.”
A committee of four was appointed
by Mr. Casjier to distribute cards in
hotels. He also reviewed the history of
the cluh from its organization to the
present time. This meeting was one of
the best of the year and was attended
hy jiractically every member.
At 4 o’clock Friday afternoon a good
ly number of the Eoy Scouts of Troop
No. 5 assembled at the First Eaptist
church, each boy being accompanied by
a girl friend. There cars were waiting
to convey the boys and girls to the Scout
Reservation, some 12 miles from town,
where the picnic was to be held. Every
boy who took a girl with him had to
“tote grub” enough for both of them
and every fellow had to cook the sup
per for his companion as well as for
himself.
After the group arrived at the reser
vation Mr. Casper led the way in a gen
eral inspection of the scout grounds.
Next the suppers were cooked, or at
least attempts were made in that line
amid much laughter and merriment.
Some food was burned a little, but it
was evidently enjoyed for very little was
left. Then when all remains of the feast
had been cleaned up, Mr. Casper's whis
tle called everyone to the pavilion where
a general scout meeting was held and
two cups were awarded, one to Harry
Murray for winning the greatest num
ber of points in the individual contest,
and the other to the Rear Patrol. Sev
eral games were played and some jokes
were told.
The gathering was dismissed after a
sentence prayer and all started home
about nine-thirty, tired but happy. The
road was rough and bumpy but every
one arrived home safely.

“OUR OPPORTUNITY”
IS AYCOCK’S SUBJECT
Kiltie Klub Enjoys Mr. Aycock’s Talk—
“We Don’t See Far Enough Ahead,”
Speaker Asserts.
From the jiapers we learn that the
students of the negro high school of
Greensboro threatened to strike in order
that tliey might get new equipment for
their school. This might prove a capital
suggestion for G. H. S. in their proce
dure to get the long awaited, promised
and wished-for new high school within
the portals of which the pupils could
better follow in the footsteps of the
learned. Wonder what the school board
would say if the pupils of this institu
tion would deliver an ultimatum to that
effect.
Mr. W. R. Wunsch read the last acts
of the play “Fingers” at the meeting
of the Kiltie Klub of the First Presby
terian church, Wednesday, November
18. There were thirty boys present at
this meeting. Over half of the number
was present fifteen minutes before the
regular time that they might practice
songs for the Christmas program under
the supervision of Miss Evelyn Earnes.
After the assembly was dismissed the
membership committee met to decide up
on the admittance of several new mem
bers.
Mr. F. E. Aycock, Jr., a member of the
High School faculty, made a splendid
talk on “Opportunity” at the club, Wed
nesday, N'ovember 25.
“We all don’t take advantage of our
opportunities,” he declared, “but make
short cuts to happiness which eventual
ly harm us.” The speaker gave some
of the many advantages of education.
“We don’t see far enough ahead,” he
continued. “We don’t think of the con
sequences. A man who doesn’t take ad
vantage of all opportunities that High
School offers will regret it when he
goes to college.”
There were four new members pres
ent at this meeting.
Thursday night, Nov. 19, the Hi-Y
cluh held its reguular weekly supper
at the Y. M. C. A. about 25 members
of the club were present.
Members of the Monroe football
squad were guests of the club at supper.
No regular program was presented, and
all business was continued to the next
meeting, since most of the members had
to retiree early in order to be in shape
for the Greensboro-Monroe game the
next day.
“THANKSGIVING” IS
THEME OF PROGRAM
Carlton Wilder, Mr. Gildersleeve, Eu
genia Isler, Orden Goode and Sarah
Mendenhall Aid in Entertainment.
Tlie comjilete cast has been chosen for
“The Charm School,” to be given by
Mr. Wunsch's Dramatic class some time
the latter part of December.
“The Charm School” is a fascinating-
comedy by Alice Miller and Robert Mil-
ton. It relates the adventures of a boy,
who, having inherited a girl's college
from an old maid aunt, determines to
manage it himself on the principle of
“Charm.” It has the freshness of youth
and affords wholesome and pleasant en
tertainment. “The Charm School” made
its first appearance at the Eijou The
atre, New York, and then toured the
country.
The practices for “The Charm School”
are held every Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday in the basement of the New
Earn. The complete cast follows:
Austin Eevans, a young boy who is
managing the Girls' College on the basis
that a girl should be educated to be
charming—“Eunny” Wimbish; David
McKinsey, a law student—Finley Atkis-
son; George Eoyd, an expert account
ant—Phil Shelton; Jim Simpkins—Ver
non Patterson; Homer Johns, guardian
of Elise—“Pug” Solomon; Tim Simp
kins—Eob Caviness; Elise Eendotti,
president of senior class, Louise Mc
Culloch; Miss Hays, president of Girls’
College—Mary J. Wharton; Miss Curtis
—Sarah Mendenhall; Sally Eoyd—Mar
garet High; Muriel—Matilda Robinson;
Ethel—Glenn Eoyd MacI.eod; Alex—
Myra Wilkinson; IJllian—Ruth Ahhott;
Madge—Cynthia Vaugha n.
Cumtox, Eolton Higli School, Alex
andria, Louisiana. Your advertising
manager has certainly done a beautiful
piece of work on your ads. They are
neat and very well arranged. Your edi
torials are excellent but too few. We
are glad to note so much interest evinced
in your school publication. Cumtox is
full of real, live news.
The Needle, Atlantic High School, At
lantic, Iowa.
They’li. Acckpt All of Those
Ed Kuhl: I wrote sornetliing the
other day that I’ll bet The Needle will
accept.
E. Kleuver: What was that?
Ed. Kuhl: A check.
The appearance of your paper sug
gests that tlie students write other things
than checks that The Needle will ac
cept. Your “Needle Yarns” are very
clever.
The main building students enjoyed
a Thanksgiving Program Monday, Nov
23. Nell Thurman presided over the
assembly and the program was opened
with the hymn “My Country ’Tis of
Thee.”
Carlton Wilder related the origin of
Thanksgiving and reminded the stu
dents of the spirit of Thanksgiving. Mr.
Guildersleeve sang “Peace and Plenty,
and Eugenia Isler gave the reading
“Jerico Rob.” The Thanksgiving Pro
clamations of Lincoln and Coolidge
were read by Orden Goode. Kipling’s
Recessional” was sung by Mr. Gilder
sieve and Sarah Mendenhall completed
the program with the reading, “The
Eoy and his Stomach,” by Edgar A.
Guest.
At the beginning of the period, Mr.
Phillips made some announcements
about the Monroe-Greensboro game.

student body and publish it in our
monthly magazine. The Gazette, which
goes out over the entire United States.
And then,” he concluded, “ we will show
them what you are doing down here at
Greensboro High School.”
We are very much indebted to Char
lotte High School for the excellent sup
port they extended to G. H. S. at the
Monroe game. The enthusiasm displayed
by Charlotte High School cheer-leaders
and the Charlotte folks, whose hearts
were evidently out there on the field
with the Purple Whirlwind eleven, is the
sort that Greensboro High School would
like to boast of as manifested at all her
athletic encounters. Our boys won that
game fair and square, but to you, Char
lotte, is due some credit for your part
in the victory. We extend to you our
heartfelt appreciation and thanks for
the service rendered us. If ever the
opportunity jiresents itself for G. H. S.
to reciprocate, the Purple and Gold sup
porters will be right there.
Anybody who still hasn’t heard
“Freshie”? Wonder how some of these
little fellows would feel if tlie So2iho-
mores should jiut it to them that hard?
Football has made its exit from G.
H. S. for this year, but before we have
forgotten about it several things should
be mentioned. Gastonia High defeated
Greensboro, but when Greensboro played
Gastonia they were the nearest to the
Western Champ ionshiii of any team in
the history of Greensboro Higli with the
exception of the team of ’21, which did
as the team this year did. They also
came with two games of the state title.
Much credit is due to the two coaches,
Coletrane and Fordham. This is the
first experience that they have had along
this line and they took a team of green
material and started off the season with
what looked to be only a fair team and
one that was not considered by anyone
as having a chance at the chamiiion-
shiji. Rut when the first game of the
series started Greensboro went awmy
with a rush, and then showed that they
had • develojied from a weak team into
a strong and fighting one. Another thing
that this team accomiilished was defeat
ing High Point with a large score. This
was the first time in two years that
Greensboro has defeated High Point.
J. Norman Stone is no longer a stu
dent at this institution, and we are just
wondering who is the president of the
Roys’ Athletic Association? Has any
one heard?
Ee sure you are right, then go ahead.
—Crockett.
STUDENTS TOLD TO
PLAN SPRING WORK
Miss Mitchell Points Out That by De
ciding the Courses Early Much
Confusion Can Be Avoided.
Paper O’ Pep, Waterloo High School,
Waterloo, Wisconsin. “Waterloo Busi
ness Directory” is extemely clever and
attractive. If your iiublication is rep
resentative of your High School, then you
must be a “School O’ Pep.” Though
small, your staff is certainly efficient.
Sky High, Asheville, High School,
Asheville, N. C. You are to be congrat
ulated on twm things. First, and fore
most, that you have as your friend and
supervisor Mr. Lee H. Edwards; last
that your jiajier has such sidendid
supjiort that you do not have any ads.
Your jiaper abounds in real, live news,
which suggests that you rave a real,
live student body.
At a recent interview. Miss Fannie
Starr Mitchell, dean of girls, gave out
the following suggestions:
“Every jiiqiil should plan his or her
course of study for the spring term as
soon as possible so as to avoid the con
fusion and congestion which always fol
lows mid-term exams.” Miss Mitchell
suggests that the parents be consulted
as to the future they have planned for
their children, and that particular care
be taken in the choice of languages.
“All credit has been given on Junior
Fligh School work,” she stated.
“In about two or three weeks schedule
cards will be issued and I will help each
student individually in his choice of
subjects and all credits will be straight
ened up,” concluded Miss Mitchell.
DR. GOVE ADDRESSES
GIRLS FORUM ON HEALTH
Dr. Anna M. Gove, director of health
at N. C. C. W., addressed the girl’s for
um in chaiiel Thursday, Nov. 19. “My
job”, “is not to doctor the girls when
they are sick, but to keep them well.”
She stressed good posture as essential
to a good, normal, healthy girl, and
advocated several five-minute rest peri
ods during the day if it could possibly
be managed. Here at school five min
utes of the lunch iieriod might be de
voted to rest. Dr. Gove was delighted
with the interest shown in training here
and particularly with the statistics tak
en a few years ago showing the health
and attendance of the girls in training
as compared with those who are not.
She gave ten rules, the observance of
which would keep any girl healthy, hap
py and consequently wealthy.

On the second floor will be the gym
nasium with a gallery extending into the
third floor; a number of cla.ss rooms
as well as dormitory space will be on
the second and third floors. The rest of
the building will be devoted to living
quarters for young men.
Mount Airy High Spots, Mount Airy
High School, Mount Airy, N. C. You
take particular care in the headlines of
your pajier to let folks know where you
hail from, but we don’t blame you at
all. You certainly have a publication
of which any High School might well be
proud. It is attractively arranged and
full of news. The advice contained in
the box at the head of the joke column
is iiarticularly clever.
The Echo, Salisbury High School, Sal
isbury, N. C. It makes us “sort of”
homesick; but then, it’s like old times, to
be quoting “G. B.”
“I certainly believe that the newspaper
is the best kind of seshool publication,”
replied Guy E. Phillips, superintendent
of the Salisbury public schools, when the
question was put to him a few days ago.
In sujiiiort of his statement he pointed
out that it is the most representative of
any school jiublication in that it offers
chances to the students of getting their
work in print far beyond the opportun
ities presented by a magazine or other
purely literary journal.
The Optimist, Atchison High School,
Atchison, Kansas. We like your name;
it has such a cheerful ring. Your hu
morous column especially is very good.
We venture to suggest that you keep
your ads. off the editorial page, how
ever. They detract as much from its
dignity.
The Connecting Link, Kinston High
School, Kinston, N. C. You have a very
promising little sheet. It would be a
better plan, we think, to confine your
front page exclusively to news items.
Interary material, comment, etc., should
always be kept for the other pages.
The Review, Streator Township High
School, Streator, Illinois. We read your
paper with interest. Your front page is
nicely balanced; the news it contains
is “front-page news”, the mo.st impor
tant items of interest; and the articles
are well-written. We didn’t like your
other pages so well. Too many ads.
detract from the force of a paper. We
wish you had more editorials; those you
had were good.
The Hi Rocket, Durham High School,
Durham, N. C. You have a nicely bal
anced front page. We like your editor
ials. We were e.specially attracted by
your “Who’s Who” column; the idea
is original and attractive. Your paper
is one of the best that we have reviewed.
