Outsid ers were Mr. J. D. Wilkins and Mr. Rob 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 WHIP SPINSTERS IN A FAST G.AME Faculty Puts Up Good Fight But Not Good Enough to Surpass “Flaps.” BOYS DEFEAyItHE GIRLS Make Very Good “Ladies” and Show Girls How to Play—So Interest 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. Tile line-up was: Flap pern S pinufers McCollum . _ Reynolds R. F. Tilley Dry I.. F. M'atson l.e Roy ('. Michaux ... Causey C, G. Harris Cooper R. G. Harrison Blackmon L. G. Suhstitutes: T'lappers—Brown, Far- low, Clement. Spinsters—Barnett. 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. REVISED BASEBALL SCHEDULE March 20—W ent worth at Greensboro. March 26—Reidsvile at Reids- vile. April 2—Burlington at Bur lington.

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.
