one thousand.
In the first frame. Oak Ridge sent four

forced in the fifth run in the second
inning. The next two cadets were hit
by the Greenshoro pitcher and the score
was T-0. Howard, (). R. I.’s third sack-
er, j)laced a neat home run at this stage
and ran the tally four points higher.

mound, the latter going to the right field.

loosened, tlic Ci. II. S. tightened, and
no more runs were made hy cither team.
Greensboro’s lone run came in the third
,it the hands of Brewer.

ing and four hits out of four times at

.Marguerite' Harrison, Mary Tilley, Mary
McCollum, Lola Michaux, Jane Harris,
Glenna Farlow, Annie Belle Goodwin,
Sadie Clement, and coaches, Miss Nellie
Dry and Mr. Stanley Johnson. Outsid

ert McCollum.
APPRECIATION
The Greenshoro High School wishes to
e.\i)ress their ai)preciation and thanks
to Mr. Wicker, of Wicker and Rierson,
for fixing a basketball ring. He sus-
])ended his business and fixed it free of
charge to the high school.
March 18 a very heated game of barn
yard golf came off at G. H. S. The
teams consisted of one student and one
teacher each.
'I'he teams were Miss Cooper and Mac
Moore against Miss Hight and Dick Bur
roughs. 'I'he latter te^im won with the
score 2-1 in games. Dick really exjiected
his partner, Aliss Hight, to be an expert
at such a countrified game, she being
from Henderson.
Miss Cooper was a f;drly good shot,
while Miss Hight was wild but lucky
once in a while. She sailed a shoe once
for a ringer followed by one hurled by
her i)artner.
'Hie final game of the trio ended very
abruptly with the bell.
G. H. S. ORCHESTRA GAVE
FREE CONCERT TO PARENTS
'Hiursday morning, March 4th, in the
music room of the new building, parents
and patrons of the high school heard a
free concert given by the orchestra and
band.
The band played three numbers for
the approval of the audience. The first
piece “Morton High School March” a
very snappy selection, was greeted with
loud applause. Then came “A Perfect
Day” and “Sullivan Operatic Gems”.
'I'he latter is one of the contest numbers
for the musical meet which is held this
spring.
'I'he orchestra then rendered the fol
lowing pieces; “A Song in the Night”,
“.\ndantc,” "Dance of the Hajiiyv S])irit”,
and the music contest piece. Overture
“Calif of Bagdad.”
Patrons commented on the great im
provement of both musical organiza
tions. 'I’his concert came as a part of
the hard work preceding the state con
test in April.
Some of the boys who hate both
mothers and sisters are making prepara
tions to leave home. 'I'hey say that this
“Mother Daughter Banquet” is going to
get too many women in one place to suit
them.
FLAPPERS EASILY

But Not Good Enough to
Surpass “Flaps.”

ing Scorers Forgot Score.
Hooray for the Fla})pers ! 22-17. 'I’he
S]iinsters ])ut u]i a good fight, hut was
not hard enough to surpass “Fhqis.’’
'I'he S))inster.s ])ut away their dignity
and adorned themselves with bloomers
and middies. Each had tied around their
“crowning glory” a cute little bow of
ribbon.
At the end of the first half the score
was 1 1-5 in favor of the Fla])iiers.
During the “between” Mr. Fordham,
Mr. Johnson, Miss Dry and the Fhipper
team gave a clever stunt on “no trains
leaving a’tall.” A Charleston contest
was held next witli Miss Hight for the
facult\', and Louise Harrison and James
'I'idwell for the ])upils. It was fully
decided tliat Miss Hight won and she
was awarded a prize, “an all-day sucker.”
The whistle blew and the game started
again. The S])insters got right down to
work a. 11(1 their score hegan to run up.
Misses l.e Roy and Dry threw some
pretty goals, whih' .Miss Coo])er did well
at guard. The game ended with a score
17-22, the Flappers winning over the
Spinsters.

One of the most interesting features
was a basketball game between our girls
and some “ladies.” 'They were so inter
ested in the game that they did not keep
score. 'These “ladies” turned out to be
our own basketball boys.
'Track ]iractices are held every day at
the Fair Grounds. Coach Aycock ex
pects great things from the da.shers, who
are Ridenhour, Shelton, and Quate.
Quate was the only one of the three who
was out last year.
“Plug” Homey has the state record
for the half mile, and is expected to kee])
it. Every one who beat Clarence Phoe
nix last year left witli the graduating
class, and it leaves Phoenix the best half
miler in the state.
NVhittington, Glascock and Meadows
have shown up well on the hurdles. Whit
tington and Glascock were out last year.
Meadows was on the Partes Track team.
Arnold, Homey and Burroughs are
out for the mile. 'The 410 is supported
hy Phoenix and Burroughs.
Pole vault is well supjiorted by Whit
tington and Meadows and Cook.
'There are Writtington, Meadows, 'Tur
ner, Shelt.on, Cook, .Mills wlio will jump
this year.
Glascock and Brown for the discus
with VVimhish and Meadow.s for the
javelin are hard workers.
For the broad jum]) there are Gla.s-
cock, Ridenhour and Brown who are
very good.
Brown is siilendid at any field event
and the coach says the only thing that is
worrying him is which to place him in.
'This measure is at present Mr. Broad-
hurst’s little pet. He’s done a lot for
us. Are we back of him? I.et’s .show
him.

STAMPEDE
('rash! Bang! What In the world was
the matter? An excited crowd hurried
to the windows in the library to find a
horse rushing across the railroad drag
ging behind him a driverless wagon. 'The
hoys who were jilaying handball stopped
their game and ran after him, hoping to
he “the hero of the day,” and bring him
back to the owner. 'The people hurried
from the cafeteria to the scene of action.
'The horse ran on, little heeding the
crowd which was following close at his
heels. All were thrilled and excited ex-
cc]ff the owner, who leisurely looked on,
smoking a pipe.
MARBLES
First shot! 'Two a clij:). Come on,
fellows, the more the merrier!
At last marble shooting season is here.
Marhle shooting made its first appear
ance at G. H. S. along wdth the timely
arrival of the “Freshies.” 'The sopho
mores condescendingly joined the new
comers in their knuckle-soiling .sport, and
though the groups were small at first,
0 '
now at any time during the lunch pe
riods you can look below the barns and
s(‘e a grouj) of boys around a rin_g slioot-
ing niarblcs.
Some of the boys have worn their
knuckles out on this sport and often
you can hear them (mostly freshmen)
saying how well they can shoot. When
these sophomores show the “freshies”
how to shoot, the glee in their baby faces
goes a-glimmering.
Lo and behold ! Mr. Herbert Johnson,
one day as the game went on, and the
interest waxed higher, arrived at the
scene of the troubles that accompanied
marble-shooting, and soon won the title
of “Champion.”
5 es, this sport is becoming popular
even with the lordly juniors and seniors.

MISS moor’e"^uffers
FROM SPRAINED ANKLE
Miss Ida Belle Moore sprained her
ankle 'Tliursday evening, March 18, while
practicing for the game between the fac
ulty and students. 'The sprain was seri
ous enough to put her on crutches for a
few days. She was back on the job Fri
day at school but was unable to go to
the game Friday night. On Monday
Miss Moore was still on crutches and said
that she felt so discouraged that she
never expected to walk without them.
In her classes she has to sit in one place
all during the class, but the students
sympathize with her and try to do their
part to help her. “Here’s hoping you’ll
soon recuperate. Miss Moore,” is the
message one hears ringing out from
Room 12 at all intervals during the day.
