C. W. PHILLIPS MAKES
TALK, ™ NEW YEAR’
Advises Everyone to Begin Earnest
Work—Asks Aid of Students in
Keeping Grounds Clean.
“With the New Year we have a clean
sheet before us,” Mr. Phillips stated dur
ing a short talk made at Chapel Wednes
day January 6. “If we have fallen
down in the past, we now have an oppor
tunity to begin again. Some of us may
have stained our record since school
began Monday. If so, we cannot remove
the blot but we can strive to make
amends by starting to work now.”
Mr. Phillips added that one of the best
ways to begin keeping the record clean
is to keep the class rooms and the cam
pus free from trash. The janitors work
ed during most of the holidays cleaning
up and now it's the pupils’ job to keep
things that way.
“In his sermon the other night Dr.
Meyers said that the best New Year’s
resolutions were those which we resolved
to do something rather than refrain from
doing something," ilr. Phillips further
stated, adding that it would be well for
G. 11. S. students to follow Dr. Meyers’
suggestion.
CAROLINA ALUMNI
HAVE BANQUET
{Continued from page one)
Following a short talk by Mayor E. B.
Jeffrcss, in which he urged the alumni
to back the proposed extension of the
city schools district and the adoption of
the standard nine months school term so
as to “bring education into the touch
of every child in Guilford county,” a
resolution was presented by Legislator
Clem G. AVright that the alumni stand
solidly behind the extension. The reso
lution was unanimously adopted.
Mr. Frederick Archer, superintendent
of city schools, expressesd the hopes and
ideals of the school authorities. He
complimented the high school boys on
their achievements. Incidentally he dis
closed the shocking information that he
was a student in Greek I for four long
years without passing it off.
Mr. Charlie Phillips, G. H. S. princi
pal, stated that there were nine Caro
lina men in the high school faculty. “We
have the Fetzers in Fordham and Cole-
trane, Charles Woollen in Herbert John
son, and Professor Koch in ‘Bobbie’
Wunsch,” he declared.
Dr. Turrentine, Jeff Fordham, C. G.
Wright, and E. S. Parker also made
short talks. Music was furnished by an
orchestra composed of Lorraine Kellar,
Haywood Gathings, Homer Chamblee,
Maddrey Simmons, Doc Wilson, and J.
D. Cole.
Sammy Goode, on behalf of the boys
graduating at the end of the first semes
ter, and Weldon Beacham, for those
graduating in the spring, expressed the
appreciation of the G. H. S. contingent
to the alumni for their hospitality, and
the high regard which the University is
held in at the High School.
Man who drove down Elm street during
the Saturday evening rush hours at fifty
miles an hour claims that he was moti
vated by God. We hate to think what
would have happened if His Satanic
Majesty had been behind his actions.

My Diary !

„ H. UK M gg .g gg iig >4
Today—
I ain’t a goin’ to describe jes how I
felt when I ariz becuz I always feel the
same way and I git tiarred uv hearin
the same thing day after day. I et the
same things fer breakfast. I don’t like
schule so I won’t attempt to write about
it. After schule I bought a dorg whut
wuz made out uv rubber at the five and
10 cent store. As soon as I paid fer it
I blowed a liole in it and my ten cts.
wuz done already in the woman’s hands
whut takes up the money. I don‘t never
expek to by no more nohows. I wuz in
vited to a party that night and when I
got home I found that my pants wuz at
the laundery. I couldn’t go without
no pants so I wore my old wuns. When
I wuz there I drawed a slip whut said
for me to do whut little Jack Horner
done. But I didn’t have no pie to put
my thumb in to pull out so I used a can
dlestick fer a pie and pulled out my
thumb covered with dust. When they
served dessert I wuz scared to eat my
cake becuz I wuz afraid they might be
a safety pin in it and I had just finished
reading a article about the sufferins of
a baby whut et one. Then we played a
game whut wuz called Marching to Jeru-
slum but I didn’t see where the Jeru-
slum part came in cuz they marched
round and round in a circle. On the way
home I seen a water tank burn. It wuz
a wonderful spectical but I would have
rether saw Rome.
Tomorrow—
I woke up and went to schule. To
night I went to a Epworth League So
cial. We played that game whuts called
marchin to Jeruslum again. I couldn’t
git no cents out uv it becuz the wuns
whut didn’t set down when the music
stopped had to quit playin. So I always
jerked somebody’s seat out from under
them and set on it myself and they set
on the floor. But setin is setin so whuts
the differunce? Then we played drap
the pocket hankecheif. When somebudy
drapped the hankechief behin you you
had to run around in a circle till you
run into them. I run into a post and
got the headache and had to go home.
I don’t never expek to go to no more
Epworth League Socials nohow.
The End.
GIIEEN - ROOM
Gossir
About the first week in February the
Seniors who graduate at mid-term will
present “Seven Chances,” a comedy in
three acts, by Roi Meagrue. In this
production Chester Strader will fill the
leading role and the opposite part will
be taken by Elizabeth Umberger. It is
interesting to note that every senior
who tried out got a part and for the
four who lacked lines, roles were written.
About two weeks later Bunny Wim-
bish and Louise McCullock will star in
“The Charm School,” also a whimsical
comedy in three acts by Alice Miller and
Robert Milton.
Mr. Wunsch states that the next num
ber on the dramatic program is a bill
of three original one-act plays: probably
a comedy, fantasy, and tragedy, to be
given about the middle of March.
March will also claim the State Dra
matic Contest, the play for which has
not been chosen. Those who have done
the best dramatic work during the past
two years will be eligible to try out.
“Icebound,” a strictly society drama
by Owen Davis, will be given probably
by Dramatics II early in April. This
drama calls for more advanced acting
and the roles are more difficult.
Those seniors who graduate at June
are planning to present “The Poor Nut,”
the last thing in May before the Gradu
ation exercises. It was written by the
Nugent brothers and is a very clever
comedy.
Flarry Rockwell, graduate of class of
’24, a sophomore at State College, re
ceived special commendation from the
military commander for his military
bearing and neatness of appearance.
HIGH PERCENTAGE
IN SCHOLARSHIP
Rooms of Misses Martin, Mor
row, Walker, Bullard and
Grogan Deserve Mention.
Several session rooms deserve special
mention for the high percentage of pu
pils on the honor roll. Miss Martin’s
room, 202, leads the list with 54.8 per
cent. Miss Morrow’’s room, No. 3, had
4(i.6 per cent; Miss Walker’s, 103, 36
per cent; Miss Bullard’s, No. 6, 37 per
cent, and Miss Grogan’s, 106, 28 per cent.
When the varsity team comes home
victorious over Winston, special men
tion is given them, which is only right,
but very seldom are the honor pupils
given special credit. The High Life
editor wishes to show that High Lift;
recognizes that, and the reporter’s hope
for the new’ year is that it may con
tinue to increase.
The honor pupils are as follows: Jane
Harris, Ruth Heath, Mary E. King,
Sarah Mendenhall, Phyllis Penn, Evelyn
Rives, Matilda Robinson, Nell Thurman,
Cynthia Vaughn, Catherine Wharton,
Mary Jane Wharton, Myra Wilkinson,
Margaret Edmondson, Gladys Bowman,

FLAPPER POWDERS
HER NOSE AND REVIVES
There seems to be a feeling among the
fair sex at G. H. S. similar to that of
our freedom-loving forefathers. And
that is “we will powder our noses at any
cost.”
This point is very well illustrated by
a recent happening in our midst. It
w’as in Miss Mercer’s second period sci
ence four class that this incident oc
curred. One of the star students in this
class, a fair miss, evidently decided her
beauty was in need of repair. So she
produced her implements of warfare,—
namely, a vanity and a powder puff—
and went to work.
Then, lo and behold! the tragedy oc
curred; her chair slipped and she hit
the floor with a bang. After the laugh
ter of her fellow students had subsided
she failed to arise. Then came many
questions such as, “Oh, dear, are you
hurt very much .5” But she didn’t answer,
and as an anxious group gathered about
her, she calmly proceeded to finish pow
dering her nose.
We bet some flapper says our Editor-
in-Chief is stunning. Oh well, Love is
blind.
Oh, where! Oh, where is Holder!
