lege, Wake Forest, N. C.
The articles in your paper are well
written, but to change the style of head
line more often would make the pages
more attractive.
Pine Whisper.H, R. J. Reynolds High
School, Winston-Salem, N. C.
Your pages are very well balanced,
but w'hy not place all sport news on one
page?
Chronicle, Duke University, Durham,
N. C.
Your editorial page is very attractive
and the Open Forum is a very good
thing to have. It gives an opportunity
for self-expression.
The Perineape, Coker College, Harts-
ville, S. C.
Your article on the French Club shows
that a great deal is being done to pro
mote interest in this club. But don’t
you think the material on the editorial
page should be limited to tbe more seri
ous and thoughtful items?
Ck/j o’ Coffee, Coffee County High
School, Enterprise, Ala.
The column “Ambitions of Juniors” is
a very original idea, and adds to the
value of your paper. The large headlines
detract from the appearance of your edi
torial page. There are too many jokes
for the size of the paper, don’t you
think?
KILTIE KLUB HOLDS
MEETING WEDNESDAY
Id
Beverly Moore Presides Over Meeting
And Mr. Wunsch Leader Gives
Talk on “Climbing Manward”.
Jp'
The Kiltie Klub held its regular week
ly meeting March 10, Beverly Moore pre
siding. Several short talks were made
by the members.
March 17, Mr. W. R. Wunsch, the
leader, read a few passages from “Climb
ing Manward,” by Frank H. Cheley. The
theme of his talk was good manners and
living. He said in part, “Manners are
the most valuable asset a person can
have; it improves one’s personality, helps
in anything one can do. Courtesy is,
after all, just a form of unselfishness.”
Mr. Wunsch also spoke on living. “A
person may live only 20 years and do
more good than Methuselah did in 900
years. A man who does the world some
good lives longer than a man who may
have lived tw'ice as long in actual age
and has done nothing.”
After this talk the club was dismissed
with sentence prayers.
THE JMOR CLASS
VOTES COMMITTEES
Semester Five Select Publicity
and Finance Committee.
To Select Motto.
Tuesday, March 16, the Semester Y
Juniors held a meeting in Room 203, at
which time a committee, consisting of
xMildred Knight, chairman; Katherine
A anstory, and Pat Patterson, was ap
pointed to select a class motto.
A publicity committee, consisting of
Edgar Kuykendall, Victor Jones, and
Elizabeth Wilson, was appointed.
The class voted to pay 25 cents dues
each semester. They now have ?72 in
the treasury'. They decided to have a
finance committee to assist the treasurer.
Harry Gump, president of that semes
ter, presided.
ART EXHIBIT IN
JEFFERSON BUILDING
Many Local Canvases in Oil Shown—
—Also Some Water Colors—First
Collection of Its Kind.
Of considerable interest to local peo
ple was the art exhibit held March 15
to March 20 in the studio of Mr. Free
man, room 731, Jefferson Standard build
ing. This exhibit, which was held under
the auspices of the Greensboro Art As
sociation, was the first of its kind ever
held in this city. Credit for this exhi
bition was largely due to Miss Molly
Anne Peterson, head of the committee,
and to Charles Farrell, who has been
responsible for collecting the works of
art.
The canvases which were selected from
the works of local artists were of an
unusually high grade workmanship. The
majority consisted of oils — landscapes,
still-life, and portraits,—although there
were a few extremely interesting water-
colors.
This exhibit gave Miss Summerell’s
class in art appreciation a chance to use
some of their recently acquired knowl
edge.

CAST COMPLETED
FOR GLEE CLUBS
MUSICAL SHOW
“The Belle of Barcelona” Cast
Working Hard Under Gil-
dersleeve and Miller.
SOME ROLES DOUBLED
Nell Applewhite, Hazel Thompson, and
Bill Byers Are Chosen to Take
Leading Parts in Operetta.
Mr. Gildersleeve and Mr. Miller have
combined their Glee Clubs in order to
give an operetta, “The Belle of Barce
lona.” Miss Grogan helped to select the
cast along with Mr. Wunsch, who is in
charge of the dramatic coaching. All
costumes and scenery will be designed by
Miss Wheeler. Practices are held every
day so that the operetta may be given
April 9 fnd 10.
Before the final selections were made
about 50 tried out. The judges found
many talented people in both glee clubs.
The scenes of this operetta are laid
in Spain. Margarita, a beautiful Span
ish girl, who toured in the United States,
met Harold Wright, an army officer, who
fell in love with her. Fate separated
them very suddenly and Margarita re
turned to school. Three years later Fate
again played a trick on Hal and sent
him to Barcelona as a custom inspector.
Here he finds Margarita again. Many
things happened to prevent their mar
riage. Things became very complicated,
but are carried smoothly along by Miss
Martha Matilda Ayers, a proper English
governess, and Sir Patrick Malone, an
Irishman abroad.
The roles in some parts are doubled.
This gives two people training. One will
take the lead one night; the other the
next. The cast is as follows: Margarita,
Nell Applewhite and Hazel Thompson;
Harold Wright, Bill Byers; Miss Ayers,
Margaret Sockwell and Lorraine Keller;
Pat Malone, Odell Roberson and George
Anderson; Mercedes, Kathryn Bennett;
Emilio, Harold Isenhour; Gloria de Mon-
tero and Louis de Montero, Melene Bur
roughs and Weldon Beacham; Jimmy
Cates, Pedro; Francisco de la Vega,
Max Albright and Floyd Mills; Le
Grand Johnson, the Lb S. Marine Cap
tain. Others taking part are Margaret
Pender, Kathryn McCracken, Kathryn
Sykes, Mary Gorrell, Flvelyn Glascock,
Dick Douglas, and James Stewart.
CLICKITY-CLICK
Clickity-click, clickity-click, click, click,
tst, tst, tst these and other strange
noises mixed with the strain of the new
est jazz pieces are heard everywhere.
A ring is formed around a piano, the
little freshman who has been looking on
manages to reach the front and sees a
jumhle of hands and feet; he soon wishes
that he was at the back after several
sophomores have given him vigorous
kicks. When the music stops, the jumble
of hands and feet turn themselves into
one of the stronger sex, hot and dishev
eled, but happy.
He shouts, “Hot dog, haven’t I got
that new step down pat, Mary?”
It surely has struck this school. What
has? The Charleston, you boob!
BIGGS CALLS MEETING
OF NEW DEBATING CLUB
On Friday, March 12, the newly select
ed Debating Club held one of the most

so amended as to permit the sale of light
wines and beers.”
President Henry Biggs opened the
meeting and Secretary McNairy read the
minutes of the last meeting, and then
announced the first speaker on the af
firmative, Louis Brooks. Floyd Mills
was the second on the affirmative. George
Stone was the first speaker on the nega

Shoes shined up.
Hair sleeked down,
Vivid necktie
Tied around.

From shoes emerge.
Three-inch cuff’s are
Hanging down.
Hiding shoes and
Dragging ground.
An over-coat
With upturned collar.

Standing ’round
In public places.
There we always
See their faces.
A drug store corner
Is wdiere he’s found.
One of many—
A tilain tea-hound.
Speaking of hobbies, .John Mayhew
has one. He bought an autograph book,
had it filled w'ith autographs; then tore
out that certain party’s name and threw
the book aw'ay.
I,ouise Thacker hopes some day to be
property manager for the Dramatic Club.
You can see her hanging around to bor
row “props” any time a play is to be
given.
Ten out of the fourteen main charac
ters in the “Belle of Barcelona” are
sophomores. A good title for the sophs
wmuld be “Singing Sophs.”
Say, Mr. Miller, why didn’t you tell
us you played in Paul Whiteman’s or
chestra?
We have found out why Mrs. Orr
wants the library so quiet. She wants
to enjoy daily serenades by the orches
tra in the basement.
We hope that the teachers who went to
Raleigh were taught to teach without
giving assignments.
Congratulations, Bill Byers. Just don’t
get “high-hatted.”
We hope there will be no “fits” be
tween Nell and Hazel or Margaret and
Lorraine.
Miss Mitchell, the screaks in your
“auto” engine must like to ride; they
never hollow until you stop, and then,
oh hoy!
Miss Coleman, we owe a lot to you;
you helped us heaps to win first jilace.
Aren’t we ])roud of Homespun? Con
gratulations to you, too, Mr. Wunsch!
We wonder what size hats the staffs
of High Life and Homespun are wear
ing after all the honors they have won.
Miss Leslie has a new Ford sedan, all
shiny and nickle-plated, too. How ’bout
a ride. Miss I,eslie?
What about the new style Ashury has
started, wearing a black shoe on one foot
and a hrown one on the other? First
thing you know somebody will have one
brown breeches leg and one blue one.
A NIGHTMARE
Sleepy that was no name for it. Tom
expected to sleep through history, even
if he did sit on the front seat.
Tom did what he said he would. He
was dreaming away of anything but
Charlemagne. He was thinking of last
night and how he had been unable to
sleep, and how he had thought of it to
day, of history and science. His thoughts
had been of his grades for this month.
Fksualy Tom was not of a serious dis
position, but he had really been in earn
est. What was his history grade going
to be this month? Another “D” like all
the rest?
Horrors! What was that thing grin
ning at him? Was it an abyss of “D’s,”
bad grades, or what? It was some kind
of a yawning mouth with two rows of
horrid teeth. What in the world could
it be?
Only a Teeth Chart. What a scare!
Later he read them, for there were two
in every room. He had learned two les
sons from the Teeth Chart: not to sleep
on class, and how to care for his teeth.
