SWAPS
4*-
The Bruin, New Bern High School,
Kew Bern, X. C.—Such papers as yours
are going a long way towards putting
the Old North State on the map as far
as high school papers are concerned.
The Bracken Ridge Times, Bracken
Ridge High School, San Antonio, Texas
You have in your paper one that you
may well be proud of. The picture of
the “Gypsy Sweetheart” add greatly to
the make-up of the front page. As for
your editorial on “My Candidate” it is
one of the best editorials of its kind
that we have yet seen.
Roosevelt News, The Roosevelt High
School, Seattle, Washington—Your paper
has all the makings of a city journal.
With your slogan how can you go wrong?
However, don’t you think it would add
greatly to the appearance of it if you
would run your editorials on the sec
ond page, and use page four for your
sport page? If you would cut down the
number of ads you use, we believe it
would be for the good of your paper.
The Garfield Messenger, Garfield High
School, Seattle, Washington — Seattle
seems to be a city, of good high school
papers. The Messenger is obviously a
credit to your city as well as to your
school. We have one or two criticisms
to make, however, which we hope you
will heed because we honestly believe it
will make your paper a better one. Try
to keep your jokes off the front page.
You should know that the front page is
no place for feature articles such as the
one about the holiday on Washington’s
Birthday. Why don’t you keep your
sport articles strictly confined to the
sport page?
The Blue and White, Fort Supton
High School, Fort Supton, Wild County,
Colo.—Your idea of printing the issue
dedicated to the Freshmen on green
paper is a very novel one, and this is
the first time we have ever seen it tried.
As for your dedicating an issue to the
lowly freshmen, why that’s a fine idea.
What’s your idea in not having anything
on the third sheet’ Why not run your
ads or as many ads as possible on your
last sheet, if you must have so many,
and run your third sheet as a news or
a partly news sheet filling the rest of
this with ads, preferably the two outer
columns? Personally, though, we think
so many ads detract from the looks of
your paper.
Polaris Weekly. North High School,
Minneapolis, Minn.—You have a paper
that would be well for many of the high
school papers to use as a pattern or an
example. Your column of “Speak Your
Mind” adds greatly to the make-up of
your paper. If more high school stu
dents would say what’s on their minds
it would he a great help to the school
and everybody concerned. Just one
word of criticism; why not cut your
pages down to five columns in width
and add more pages to your paper?
We could handle it better. It would not
be so large and clumsy!

MISS BULLARD TAKES
SCIENCE CLASS TO DAIRY
Wednesday, March 4, Miss Bullard
took her science H class to Pemberton’s
Dairy. The class had been studying
milk in connection with their study of
foods, and were anxious to get practical
information.
Mr. Pemberton caters especially to
children. He keeps only thoroughbred
Holstein cattle and feeds them so that
the milk will contain elements in the
quantities needed by children. The milk
contains approximately fifteen per cent
proteins, and only three and five tenths
per cent butter fat. Children need a
great deal of lime for bone building and
so feed for the cows is rich in lime.
In visiting the cow barns and feed
barns, the class was impressed by the
cleanliness of the dairy throughout. The
milk was cooled, bottled, and! stored
under the most sanitary conditions.
Before the group left, Mr. Pemberton
served th^ all with either sweet milk
or buttermilk.
GIRL SCOUTS ARE
ORGANIZED BY
MISS L. BULLARD
All Members Selected on Stand-
dard of Scholarship—Miss
High Acts as Lieutenant.
PLAY TO BE PRESENTED
Several Members of Faculty Have
Signed Up For Scout Training
At N.C.C.W. College in May
Very few people know that G. H. S.
has a fine girls’ scout troop, composed of
twenty-four girls, divided into three
patrols, with Miss I^ena Bullard as cap
tain and Miss Katherine Hight as
lieutenant. The girls were selected on
a basis of scholarship and have done
wonderful work thus far, declares the
cajitain. Each girl has completed her
tenderfoot test, and the leaders hojie
to have all second class tests passed
this spring. Miss Baker has given a
lecture on “Bandaging and other First
Aid Work”, and Miss Playfoot on
“Table Etiquette’’, Sometime soon Miss
Boyington will talk on “The History of
the American Flag,” and Captain Shaw
or some other member of the Fire De
partment will give instructions in fire
prevention. Intensive work will be done
this spring on wild flowers, trees, and
birds; Miss Summerell will help with
the bird studying. Hikes and camp
suppers will be enjoyed, and a play is
now being prepared to be presented in
chapel.
This group is attempting to build up
in Greensboro an interest in scouting,
which can be done only through the
schools, as in Winston where there are
several patrols and a summer camp by
the Community Chest. likewise the
leaders of this troo]) are trying to build
up enough interest in Greensboro in this
much needed work to secure an appro
priation from the Community Chest.
During the first week in May there
will be a training school for scout lead
ers at N. C. C. W. The following mem
bers of the faculty have signed up for
the course: Missse Boyington, Bullard,
Dry, Hight, I^eRoy, and Walker.
The leaders of these scout patrols are:
Katherine Nowell, Margaret Britton,
Annette Donavant, Caroline Bragg,
Mary Bailey Williams, and Louise
Hunter.
HAIL YOU BOYS
TRACKNEEDSMEN
Best Schedule of Many Seasons
Maybe A Trip to
Baltimore.
The G. H. S. track team is now under
way and is working out at the fair
grounds. A few bad days have kept the
team in, but so far the boye are showing
up very well in both the field and run
ning events.
The graduating class of last yeaf left
a big gap in the team, which has to be
filled with practically new material. A
few of last year’s men are back on the
squad. These veterans include P. B.
Whittington, Clarence Phoenix, the Hor-
ney brothers, David Quate, and Louis
Glascock. “Bunny” Wimbish, also a
last year’s man, is expected to report
just as soon as he finishes work on “The
Charm School.”
The present squad numbers around 15.
Some of these are not coming regularly.
When warmer weather comes. Coaches
Aycock and Fordham will expect the
squad to increase in size. The more fel
lows that come out, the better chance
Greensboro has in winning the state meet
at Chapel Hill. With only nine men.
Coach Aycock left Greensboro last year
and came within one point of Charlotte,
the winner, who had three times as many
men. Coach Aycock is expecting to
“bring home the bacon” this year.
There are some very good meets this
year and a big trip or two, one being to
Maryland the first of April, if the team
shows up well.
ALLEN BOREN WINS
CONTE^ATDUKE
John Mebane Represents G.H.S.
In Most Successful Declama
tion Contest Ever Held
In North Carolina.
Allen Boren of the Pomono High
School won the 15th annual inter-scholas
tic declamation contest awarded, March
5, at Duke University.
The subject was “Makers of the Flag”
by Franklin K. Lane. This was prob
ably the shortest declamation delivered,
but because of the force with which it
was presented was chosen as the winner.
The contest was one of the most suc
cessful ever held in this state and the
speakers showed unusual talent in de
livering.
John Mebane, represented G. H. S. in
the contest. He gave “Americanism” by
Henry Cabot Lodge.
The judges for the contests were Dr.
W. I. Crawford, of Duke University,
Major L. P. Mcl.endon, solicitor of the
Durham district, and R. P. Reade, a
Durham lawver.
HIGH LIGHTS ON THE STATE TRIP
We’ll never forget the wonderful hos
pitality of the State boys. The “frats”
just donated the Lambda Chi room to
the Greensboro boys while they were
there.
The first stop on the way down was at
the Durham Cafe for dinner. A private
room was given the squad and did they
make use of that room!—and the meal!
Was anything broken? Oh boy? Did
that gang break training after the game?
It sure was tough Friday night though.
Two poached eggs and toast! “Pete”
Wyrick was pretty hard hit.
“Ah” Craven is a very near member of
the squad. He’s missed only two of the
trips. Thanks, “Ab”.
What about Meredith, St. Mary’s,
Pearce and Raleigh hoys?
The G. H. S. boys certainly started
the cheering Saturday night at the
Charlotte-Leaksville game.
Thanks to the trusty ‘Eastman”, the
trip was well recorded.
The Greensboro boys were very anx
ious to drive through Dix Hill. What
about that?
MOTHER-SON BANQUET
TO BE GIVEN MARCH 12
The annual Mother-Son Banquet com
mittee is fast making j)lans for a real,
honest-to-goodness supper and good time
for all the high school boys and their
mothers.

meeting for the mothers and sons of our
city.

ment of West Market Street Methodist
Church. The price of the meal will be

CHARLOTTE TEACHERS
VISIT LIBRARIES HERE
Miss Blankenship and Miss Willis,
principals of two Charlotte grammar
schools were in Greensboro Tuesday,
March 2. They came to study the librar
ies of Greensboro because they are plan
ning to rebuild their own. It is said
that the Greensboro system is one of the
most complete and best organized in the
state.
It is the object of the school librar
ians to make the libraries more attrac
tive to the pupils, that they may spend
more time there in reading.
In the G. H. S. library there are about
5,000 volumes and in the grammar
schools there are about 15,000 more.
It is spake as Christmas ought to
speak. —Merry Wives of Windsor.
Students in Dramatics H are still
busy making collections for the Studio
files. Each member of the class has
one definite thing for which he is seek
ing—material on dostumes, interior
scenes, lights, scenes from plays, authors,
Carolina folk plays, fantasy, scenery,
and catalogues. These collections are
in the form of clippings, filed in an
envelope, and are to become the j)er-
manent property of the Dramatic Club.
Members of the Dramatics I Class are
working with boxes, cardboard, and
paint, trying to create miniature stages
for their March “Worship” assignment.
The State Dramatic Institute will be
held in Chapel Hill during the week of
March 25-27. At that time Ruth Heath’s
play, “Masks Off’,” will be presented in
competition with the Winston original
one-act play, Mr. Wunsch will talk on
“Dramatics in High School,” and Ed
mund Turner will have an exhibit of
stages and posters. Hr. Archer will talk
on “A Superintendent’s attitude toward
High School Drarhatics.”
The Class in Dramatics H, composed
mostly of Juniors, is contemplating writ
ing the graduation play for the Class of
1927.
Miss) Ethel Rockwell, head of the
Dramtic Extension Department of the
State University, writes of the High
School plays submitted in the play con
test, “The judges decided that Ruth
Heath’s “Masks Off,” and one from Win
ston-Salem were the best two—“Masks
Off” can be made very pretty in the
production.
The light in the school house until
midnight every night is occasioned by
members of the Dramatics Classes work
ing on posters, scenery, and stages.
