Archer Finally Receives Micro
scopes Which He Ordered
From German Prof, in 1922.
Mr. Archer received two microscopes
from (Germany a few days ago to be
used in the science work at the High
School. He ordered these from a Ger
man professor in 1922. The professor
wrote him that he could secure })ower-
ful microscopes there for a very small
sum which would cost around -$150 in
America because then there was no tar
iff on goods coining from Germany. Mr.
Archer, realizing what an opportunity
it was to save money as well as get
some much-needed microscopes, sent liim
the money for twc. He did not hear
from Germany for a while and then he
wrote inquiring about the matter. The
professor answered tliat something had
liappened to the ones he was going to
.send and he had not secured any more
then.
For months Mr. Archer patiently wait
ed and wrote letter after letter trying
to get some results from his money he
had dis])atched. He gave uj) hope after
a long time and e.x^iected to never hear
from the matter again. I.ast week the
microscopes came and are now being
used in the High School laboratories.
BASKETBALL BOYS
GIVEN CERTIFICATES
Six Boys Awarded Letters. J. B. Wil
kins Officiate, Mr. Leonard White
Speaks on “Architecture.”
Mr. J. D. Wilkins officiated at the
awarding of letters to the basketball
men of the past season's team in chapel,
Monday, April 19. Following an inter
esting talk, in which he stressed the im
portance of every high school boy and
girl going out for some sport, Mr. Wil
kins gave certificates to James Watson,
Wyatt Taylor, Maddry Solomon. Willard
Watson, Napoleon Lufty, Chester Ar
nold, Kennett Blair and Coach Park.
Miss Summerall, in connection with the
carrying over of art week in Greensboro,
introduced the ne\1 speaker, Mr. l.veon-
ard White, a local architect, who spoke
of architecture as an art to Le classed
with painting and sculpture. He told of
the two fundamentals in building.s, the
practical and the beautiful, the scientific
and the artistic. “’I'he one,” he said, “is
for convenience, the otlier for beauty.”
He stressed the fact that nine-tenths of
one’s life is spent in buildings, and that
therefore more care should be taken in
the planning, both for convenience and
beauty.
TALK ON ART GIVEN

interesting to his audience, judging from
the freciuent applause and laughter.
•Tied,” the speaker declared, “is the most
irritating of all colors; green, the color
predominant in nature, is one of the most
restful. Violet and blue have a sooth
ing effect on the emotions. Red should
be used very sparingly and carefully in
costuming, or in the decoration of walls.'’
In conclusion he told his audience that
if the principles of art appreciation were
to be more generally applied to life than
formerly, if the bad influence of tradi
tion was to be overcome, the work lay
in their hands as the builders of the fu
ture civilization.

ELECTION CALLED IN NEW
DISTRICT TO RAISE FUNDS
G. H. S. RECEIVES
LETTEW PRAISE
Miss Lillian Killingsworth Sent
Letter of Congratulations
To Study Body.
'The High Lifi; staff has received the
following letter from Miss Lillian Kil
lingsworth, who was foi'inerly dean of
G. H. S. and is at present social direc
tor at X. C. C. W. 'The student body
joins the editors of High Lifk in the
appreciation of the reminiscing effect of
the April showers on oiir former dean.
Dear High Lifk Staff:
'The budding of the trees, the songs of
the birds, the blooming violets are all
evidences that spring is liere—jVpril!
.4nd I am reminded tliat just one year
ago to the month I was tempted to leave
high scliool work to try college work
awhile. I remember I didn’t want to
leave, for I loved the Greensboro girls
and boys very decqily. Anywav I yield
ed to the temptation to try work in an
other field—and I liardly realize that a
year has gone by.
'The separation has further endeared
tlie high school of Greensboro to me.
'Throughout tlie year I have followed yon
in your athletics, eager to learn of your
successes and fine s{)ortsmanship. 1
have rejoiced with yon in the success
of your publications- you should see me
show them and as I do proudly say: 'This
is our paper or magazine. Both took a
first ])rize at the N'’ationa] Contest in
Xew York.
But my ])raise does not stoj) 'The
debaters, the jilays and tlie ojierettas
get a goodly share.
I must tell you this: When I first be
gan my work over here, I was guilty of
the usual offense that humans give—I
dared to speak of the excellent spirit in
high scliool—and how we did things—not
knowing tliat any excejjfion would be
taken. Of course college people did not
want to be compared with high school.
Well, at one performance that the high
school gave in our auditorium out here,
not so very long ago—the person from
the college community leaned over and
said; “Excellent! I don’t wonder that
you believe that (freensboro can do
things well.”
'There is a point I want to make espe
cially to those who are looking forward
to going to college next year—I hope
each of you may go and be sure you
take your fine high scliool spirit with
you.
I am lioping that I may have the pleas
ure of having some of the senior girls
at N. C. C. W. next year—occasionally
we shall let the senior boys come out
and be students for an liour or so.
T am certain you will like everything
out here. It is a splendid college.
With much love for each of you, T am,
Sincerely,
Im.LiAx Killingsworth. .
