MANY COLORS
WaUttiJM^TYtEOf
ALUMNAE DISCUSS
EIGHT-MONTHTERM
Mr. E. D. Broadhurst Urges
.Every Voter to Cast Ballot
M. T. R. Foust Also
Speaks.
Eight of the High School Faculty were
present at a luncheon held by the N.
C. C. W. alumnae to discuss plans for
an eight-month county wide school term
in preference to the present six months’
term. T. H. Foust, Guilford County
superintendent, spoke on the inequality
of a distinction between the education
offered a rural and city child.
At the close of the speech, the N. C.
C. W. alumnae of Guilford County
pledged themselves to do all in their
power to carry the election.
F. D. Broadhurst, chairman of the
Greensboro school board, next spoke
along the same lines discussed by Mr.
Foust.
On each Saturday between now and
March 20, voters may register at the
usual places. On any other day in the
week they may register by hunting up
the registrar in their precinct.
The election will be held March 30.
Mr. Broadhurst brought out the imper
ative need of every voter casting his
ballot.
MINSTREL CHIEF FEATURE OF
SHOW GIVEN BY JUNIORS
(Continued from page one)
the whole line joined in the chorus Dick
Douglas sang the “Preacher and the
Bear” and Nape Lufty, and “Pete”
Wyrick sang “Tie Me to Your Apron
Strings Again.” A harp duet by Le
Grande Johnson and Enoch Elliott was
well received.
James Tidwell skilfully performed the
“Charleston”. “Remember” was sung by
Edward Stainback. The closing chorus
was “That’s All There is; There Ain’t
No More.”
Those taking the jiarts of whites
were: W. R. Wunsch, Edward Stain-
back, Baxter Bason, Floyd Scurlock,
Flouston Barbee, and Kenneth Cates.
The blacks included: Theron Brown,
“Nape” Uufty, “Pete” Wyrick, James
Tidwell, Odell Roberson, Dick Douglas,
MAatt Taylor, Ue Grande Johnson, and
Enoch Elliott. Mr. A. T. Rowe and
Mary Elizabeth King were the pianists,
and the faculty advisers were Misses
Evelyn Martin and Jane Summerell.
After the minstrel, Beverly Moore
made some announcement about the side
shows and as a fortetaste, the elephant
and clowns paraded down the aisle and
across the front.
The Fashion Show was the most popu
lar of the side shows. Henry Goodwin
was the true representative of a rural
girl, and “Bunny” Wimbish his play
mate. Clarence Phoenix made quite an
attractive model in a pink evening dress
and cute little curls. Theron Brown was
labeled “the Dark Girl” and lived up
to his reputation as a comedian. Guy
Hill and I.ewis Glascock were the col
lege flappers. Bill Petree was the “Girl
on the Links” and John Mebane, the
cross-eyed girl at the Katty Klub. Ver
non Patterson acted the part of the
debutante, and Willis Hargrove was
the sport girl.
Other side shows included “Seven
Wonders”, with Jacob’s coat of many
colors. Siamese Twins, Katherine Duffy
as ballet dancer, and “Wonders Paradise
I.ast, and freak shows also created a
great deal of excitement. The fortune
teller had a long line waiting most of
the time, and the Charleston exhibition
in the auditorium kept a large audience.
Candy, popcorn, peanuts, cold drinks,
and confetti were sold during the per
formance, and the clown, elephant and
dead man darted around the halls at
intervals.
Of a good beginning cometh a good
end.—John Heywood.
One good word of really constructive
criticism is worth a gallon of applesauce.
Wait no gifts from chance, they will
not come. —Arnold.

HUMOR

Irvin S. Cobb gives these, in “Many
Laughs for Many Days.”
Master Willie, aged nine, came sniff
ing into the presence of his father.
“What’s the matter with you?” demand
ed the parent.
Willie stiffled a sob, “Fve just had a
terrible scene with your wife,” he said.
Two drunks collided on the street and
the following hicoughy conversation en
sued :
“Seems like, to me I’ve seen you some
where before,” says one.
“I wouldn’t be surprised,” is the
answer.
“Didn’t I meet you one time in
Chicago?”
“Not me, I never was in Chicago.”
“Neither was I. Now then, the ques
tion is; who the devil was them two
guys that met in Chicago.”
When you dash down the hall like
sixty, and slide on your heeltaps.
And bust right into the swinging
doors.
And make a noise like a busted boiler.
And then land right in Mr. Phillips’
arms, and he looks at you—and the mark
you made when you slid.
And he smiles and says, “Boys will be
boys,” and passes on down the hall.
Oh gee, ain’t it a gr-r-rand and glor
ious feeling.
A drunk found down on his knee paw
ing around was asked if he had lost
something.
“10 dollar bill,” was the answer.
“Where?”
“Next corner,” said the drunk.
“Well, why don’t you look over there?”
“Better light here,” and the poor
imbiber went on pawing.
ATHLETIC DRIVE BIG SUCCE^SS
IN ENTIRE SCHOOL
{Continued from, page one)
to have gone one hundred per cent and
so had won the prize for being the first
building on the campus to reach the goal
set for the school.
The New Building came in second, and
on the final day showed eight rooms to
her credit. The majority of the rooms
paid up Wednesday, but room 8 and 12
were on the bulletin for Tuesday.
The rooms in the Barns made a good
showing, having four rooms to go one
hundred per cent. These rooms were
B3, Bl, B.5, B6. The freshmen’s sup
port was certainly appreciated by the
Athletic Association.
Through the entire campaign the drive
was in the hands of the Boys’ and
Girls’ Athletic Association; whose presi
dents were Willard Watson and Mar
guerite Harrison. The committee ap
pointed for the Main Building was
Charlotte Van Noppen, Victor Jones,
and Weldon Beachum; for Barn B, Olga
Kellerman, George Sherrod, and Wood-
row Fordham; for New Building, Mar
guerite Tilly, Bill Petree, and James
Stidman. These committees were assist
ed by the athletic representatives from
its room.
BROKEN WINDOWS
The teachers of nearly every room on
tlie Cedar Street side of the new build
ing, on their entrance to their respec
tive rooms, on a morning not far gone,
found numerous little holes glaring down
at them from the windows, and bits of
glass scattered about the floor.
Some person in the world, we hope not
in G. H. S., evidently craves to hear the
merry klink of glass, for there were
about seven sections of window-panes
broken in that one night.
The best that an editorial on this sub
ject could hope to do is to give vent to
the wrath of the editors, because one
who is so base, so barbarous, so thought
less as to break costly window-panes at
will, can hardly be expected to take
heed to an article written by a mere
law-abiding editor who wishes somebody
wouldn’t shoot “B. B.” holes in window-
panes.
