A Good Name.
hold up high ideals
Says Girls Crave Popularity, Money,
and Beauty, But These Do Not
Last or Satisfy.
Mrs. George Dibble, of the Stephens
Evangelistic party, held her first meet
ing with the high school girls Friday,
April 30, from 3:30 to 4:00. She dis
tributed small copies of the book of
John among the girls and discussed the
first chapter with them.
iMrs. Dibble pointed out that the pur
pose of the whole book was to prove
that Jesus was the son of God. In the
first chapter Jesus is introduced as the
Lamb of God who takes away the sins
of the world. Andrew and John be
come acquainted with Jesus and bring
Peter to Him. Mrs^ Dibble urged the
girls to follow Andrew’s example and
bring their friends to Christ.
Outline sheets were given to the girls
to fill in at home.
Mrs. Dibble will meet with the girls
every Friday afternoon until the revi
val closes, and will continue the study of
the book of John.
SEMESTER IV HEARS
TALK FROM N. BLOCK
Speaks Before Enthusiastic Audience
of Juniors—Class Selects Flower,
Color and Mottoes.
The meeting of the junior class, semes
ter five, Friday, April 12, proved to be
one of the most interesting and enthu
siastic meetings of the season. After
the minutes of the last meeting were
read, a report from the treasurer showed
that the members of the class were work
ing well in raising money for the com
ing year. It is the desire of the class
to have enough money in the treasury to
meet its obligations during the year
without having to call for much from
the individual members. For the class
colors green and white were selected;
mistletoe for the flower. “Where there
is a will there is a way” was the choice
for the motto.
Harry Gump, the class president,
made a short talk urging the members
to go forw'ard with all school activities,
not only in scholarship but in all ath
letics and class activities. “If you have
done your best it will surely be for the
best of the class,” he declared.
Norman Block, student body president
for the year 1924-1925, made a very in
teresting and constructive talk to the
class. He urged the importance of set
ting a goal and working to meet it, but
let the goal be so high that the summit
"ill hardly be reached. To back up this
statement he showed that a self-satisfied
person never amounted to anything. “To
be contented with your present standing
in the world is about the worst thing
that a person can let creep into his mind.
Make an effort to achieve something in
athletics and in all phases of school ac
tivities including scholarship, if that is
gotten fairly and squarely. No matter
how low one may get in life, if he only
makes up his mind and says T will,’
that may put him on the top.”

PHILIPINE QUESTION IS
ARGUED IN DEBATING CLUB
The query. Resolved, “That the United
States should grant the Philippines their
independence,” was debated at the meet
ing of the debating club, held Friday,
April 23. Edward Stainback and Louis
Brooks upheld the affirmative; Earnest
Scarboro and Glenn Holder, contended
the negative. The negative won by a
two to one decision.
The affirmative contended that the re
tention of the Philippines was undesir
able from a naval and military stand
point; that it is a violation of the fun
damental principles of our government;
and that the Philippines are capable of
governing themselves. The negative
based its argument on two facts: First,
that independence in the Philippines is
not politically and economically sound;
second, that the Philippines are not ready
for independence.

ples on which the society is based: char
acter, scholarship, leadership and service.

great difficulty in speaking, but soon
mastered his voice and sang, “Keep
Sweet” and “Get God’s Sunshine Into
Your Heart.” Mr. Heaton and Mr. Dib
ble then pleased the audience with “I’ve
Tried in Vain a Thousand Ways,” ac
companied by Miss Loes.
Mrs. Dibble, speaker for the day, ad
dressed the students on the opportunities
of youth. “We’re never happy until we
get into the high school because we feel
that we haven’t really met the brains
in the city until we meet you people.”
She went on to say that high school stu
dents reminded her of spring. “Every
thing is so green,” the speaker de
clared.
“In the American and other magazines,
we read stories of people who have made
something of themselves in spite of the
circumstances,” The speaker continued,
“anyone with ambition can overcome his
circumstances and make something of
himself,
“What does the future hold for each
one of you? Youth is a wonderful time.
Do you realize it? The door of oppor
tunity is open wide to the boy or girl
who dares to try!”
Mrs. Dibble spoke of the foundation
needed for any good work. She told of
how mighty structures had tumbled to
the ground because of poor foundation.
Girls and boys, build upon the one and

of time—Jesus Christ!”

FRIENDS
and
NEIGHBORS
Congratulations Duke! You certainly
must be doing fine work in the i^ublica-
tion line but High Life has always ad
mitted you had a fine paper in the
Chronicle. _ We notice that Duke’s press
will print the Hisponic American His
torical Review—Good ! Hope you en
joyed May Day celebration. Duke Uni
versity—The Chronicle.
The Technician tells that State Col
lege, Raleigh, N. C., was victorious over
William and Mary in the debate. That’s
fine! The extracts from an old cata
logue issued from the college years
ago reveal some facts about the school
that are very interesting. One section
ran something like this:
The college is by no means a reform
school, and its work must not be hin
dered by the presence of young men
who are grossly vicious, idle, or incom
petent.
That’s some “rep” for you boys to
keep up.
From the account of the Carolinian
from N. C. C. W. we would imagine Mr.
Forney would have quite a few visitors
if they all have as good a time as one
did. The article was about a Saturday
morning tagging after the College
Treasurer while he paid off all the help.
It was very well written and the little
personal touches made it very inter
esting.
BAPTIST BOYS HOLD A
“BEST GIRL” MEETING
The members of the Baptist Boy’s
Club had a very delightful social meet
ing Monday, Ajiril 26, at the Police
men’s Club House. Each boy brought
a girl.
The party met at the club house at
six o’clock where “barnyard golf” was
played until supper time. The guests
were invited to dine in a long dining
room in the rear of the club house,
which was lighted by four or five gas
lanterns. The menu consisted of wee
nies and rolls, hunter’s stew, coffee, and
ice cream and cakes. Mr. Frank Cas
per of Scout troop No. 5, and leader of
the Boy’s Club served the supper.
After the supper, many games were
played around the tables. Boxes of
candy and toys were presented James
Cates, Mildred Knight and Edwin
Lashley, who were winners of the
prizes.
For a few minutes the meeting was
given over to business and members dis
cussed formulating a baseball team to
represent the church.
Mrs. George Dibble, of the Stephen’s
revival now being held in this city, was
the speaker for the night. She ad
dressed the boys and girls on “Friend
ship”. “Friendship in high school
blessed by the partner, Jesus, are the
most beautiful treasures of life,” Mrs.
Dibble declared.
Those of us who have studied Biology
can surely sympathize with the students
of Coffee County High School who had
to murder frogs and snakes. Our deep
est sympathy to you and regrets to the
poor frogs and snakes! Cup O’ Coffee
announces that its staff has challenged
the faculty to edit one issue of the pub
lication. High Life editors are looking
forward to reading that issue.
Gup-O-Coffee, Coffee County High
School, Enterprise, Ola., is interested in
civic affairs. They gave up the front
page boxes to advertising the coming
of the Chautauqua. “A sportitorial”
on the sports page, gives a lesson with
a little “pep” added. It compares the
game of baseball with the game of
school. Good.
Congratulations, M^inston! High Life
rejoices with you over your victories—
both debating and athletic. We met your
debaters and we’re not at all surprised
that you won—we’re glad they were true
representatives.
We’re glad to see that North High
School of Minneapolis, Minn., has some
well rounded boys. The headline read:
Athletic stars show ability in play pro
duction.
Their track team seems to be in the
same shape ours was at the beginning of
the season. Polaris Weekly says only two
letter men out for track.
The Ouilfordian must be very proud of
her editor-in-chief, Byron Hayworth. He
won first place in the annual Peace Ora
torical Contest and will represent Guil
ford at Davidson, May 3. Good luck to
you, Byron!
Coatsville High School, Coatsville, Pa.,
has a set of traffic rules, and finds it nec
essary to write editorials on the girls’
disobedience to the same. (In The Spot
light”). We can sympathize with Coats
ville.
Ili-Rocket, Durham, N. C., Durham
High, is getting some new tennis courts.
You’re lucky, “Bull City” boys. We may
have a few, some day.
Manual Arts Weekly runs a cartoon
on “manners.” Attention, Miss Grogan,
you and your class.
The Advocate, Lincoln High School,
Lincoln, Nebraska, gives its statistics on
the cost of heating the school for a day.
$32 a day, 13 cents a pupil per day,
$5,856 per year. Five years ago it was
double this amount. There are 3,432,-
000 cubic feet of air space. In other
words. The Advocate is interested in
making things warm.
G. H. S. BOYS TO
BE CAMP ADVISERS
Mr. Parks, acting as the Greensboro
representative, Willard Watson and
Roy Smith as Junior Councilors, will be
present at Black Bear Camp near Ma
rion, North Carolina, during its sum
mer session of July and August.
Black Bear Camp is one of the best
resorts in the state for boys to have a
real sport’s good time in the wilds of
the Blue Ridge Mountains. Mr. Ber
nier who was physical director at Camp
Saphire, will be there to Coach the boys
in all forms of sports. Mr. Archer, Su
perintendent of Greensboro Schools, and
Mr. G. B. Phillips, former principal of
G. H. S., will assist -Mr. Reed, also
from Camp Saphire, in directing the
camp. Mr. Wm. W. York, former teach
er of G. H. S., will fill the office of
secretary and treasurer.
MRS. DIBBLE TALKS TO
STUDENTS IN CHAPEL
Mrs. George Dibble, of the Stephens
revival party, talked to the Girls Forum
Friday, April 23, on “A Girl’s Greatest
Asset.”
She said, that the girls of today
craved popularity, money and beauty
but these did not last or satisfy. A
girl’s name may be compared to a flower
garden which brings forth beautiful flow
ers and if they are not cultivated will
sooner or later be choked out by the
weeks. It isn’t easy to hold up high
ideals today. Some girls smoke ciga-
retts, read and tell unclear stories and
then the other girls follow.
“Keep a good name, girls, for the sake
of your parents and the young men that
are looking to you for higher ideals and
examples. The boys are going to be what
the girls make them; they are either go
ing to be lifted up or pulled down.”
In conclusion, Mrs. Dibble said, “popu
larity or pleasure at the price of a good
character never lasts or satisfies.”
MRS, GEORGE DIBBLE
ADDRESSES G. H. S. GIRLS
(Continued from page one)
stated that it was much easier to do
wrong than to do right. The tempations
of life are hard to overcome. When
Jesus comes into our life, the first thing
He wants is to be master of our affec
tions. Girls should keep their characters
and bodies clean, pure and sweet. Sin
is the most awful thing that can come
into a girl’s life, because when she sins
she is breaking the golden law of God.
“Take Jesus into your heart and let
Him be master of your life,” was the
final plea.
Philip Jeffries gave a concert here Sat
urday night at the home of Mrs. Ceasar
Cone.
