TODD PARACHUTE
ARTIST ESCAPES
SERIOUS INJURY
Uses Weak Tree Limb As Means
of Descent—Then Floats
to Ground.
NAIL SAVES THE EXPERT
Leaves Part of His Pants On Tree—
Raincoat of Friend Saves Him
Embarrassing Situation.
G. II. S. has among her celebrities an
expert parachute jumper. No kicldin’,
that’s a fact. The only difference is that
he jumps from the tops of trees instead
of balloons or aeroplanes. Another dif
ference is the kind of parachute he uses
—the leafy hide of a tree.
Flis favorite method of making his
jumps is to climb out on a weak limb
of the tree and hang there by his hands
until the limb breaks off. Then, with
that limb as a parachute, he gracefully
floats down to earth.
But one day the parachute expert
made a miscalculation; he picked a par
achute which was too close to the trunk
of the tree. In his descent he brushed
against the tree-trunk, and his pants
hung on a nail driven in the tree. Hav
ing gone too far in his jumji to with
draw, Mr. Todd—oh, excuse me, I mean
the parachute jumper—continued on his
way to earth, and left part of his pants |
on the tree.
The parachute artist was saved from
a very embarrassing situation by the
rare presence of mind of a companion
who supplied a raincoat.
IN SENIOR CLASSROOMS

Miss Grogan asked Jimmy Clements
if he could prove that the base angles
of an isosceles triangle were equal. And
Jimmy said he didn't have to prove it;
he admitted it.
'Fhe other day Glenn Holder (connect
ed with High Life) asked Miss Tillett
why Noah didn't swat both flies when
he had the good chance.
When Miss Boyington’s class was rais
ing a big fuss last Tuesday, Miss Boy-
ington said: “All I want is a chance to
express myself!”
Bobby Wilson spoke up and said:
“Fine! Where to?”
Mabel LaBarr told Mr. Fordham that
she could understand how they found
new planets, but that she certainly won
dered liow they got to know their names.
Miss Caldwell asked Margaret Hood
if her father wrote her term paper, and
Margaret said: “No, he started to, but
mother had to write it all over again.”
When Miss Pullen asked her pupils
to bring in advertisements which they
made up themselves, Henry Goodwin
brought in the following:
“Use our Pancake Flour and you’ll
never use any other.”
BEN FRANKLIN IN-
FLUENCES WRITER
Young Author Establishes An
Honor System in G. H. S.,
Franklin Cause of It.
In this Greensboro High School, cen
ter and institution of learning, recently,
some time between the hours of 8:30
in the morning and 3:30 in the afternoon
of the same day, a young writer—or
would-be writer—was pouring forth
words of wisdom and instruction from
an ever-flowing pen—or maybe it was
a pencil. As the writer continued writ
ing, the seconds grew into minutes, and
with each additional minute new words
of wisdom were added to the already
some, well, some few pages of her (for
it was a member of the fair sex) mas
terpiece.
Then all of a sudden her ever-flowing
lien ceased to flow, not for lack of words,
but for lack of that material on which
to transcribe her contribution to the lit
erary world. Following the example of
others writers of note, she got up and
paced the floor not one, but a number of
times.
Down the hall of the main building
her footsteps led her. At last her ever-
trusty eye caught sight of a tablet of
the same kind she had been using in the
preparation of her masterpiece. “Ah!
Surely the gods have favored me!” she
muttered as the found no marks of
ownership^ So she claimed it as her
own and started to take off with it. But
remembering the wise crack of Frank
lin, or some one else, she left a perfectly
good nickle in its place and went back to
finish her masterpiece.
WINSTON PRESENTS TWO
CHAMPIONSHIP PLAYS
Winston-Salem High School presented
their two state championship plays,
Roads and Rain, by Loretta Carroll,
and The Valiant, by Hall and Middle-
mas, at N. C. C. W. auditorium on Sat
urday night. May 1. The first play won
over Greensboro in the contest for the
best original play, while the second won
from Wilson for the best presentation
of another’s play. A small but enthu
siastic audience witnessed the perform
ance.
Winston is entering Loretta Carroll’s
play in a national contest in New York
for the best original play.
George Newman told Mr. Johnson that
“blackmail” was a colored man’s cor
respondence, and that an aspirin tablet
was something to write on.
MONDAY’S RAIN
It was pretty, that dre.ss. Yes, unde
niably beautiful. It would have cost
several dollars had not mother made it
from a remnant. But that has nothing
to do with the fact that it was beau
tiful. It was loud, too. Quite loud!
Red! Blue! White!
But it rained. Water, wet water!
And the worth of that remnant came
out. It wasn't wortli much, even at 98c
the yard. And it faded. Blue and red
i)ecame yellow blotches on white squares.
Multiply the above examjile by four
hundred, and the result is the number
of spring linen, calico and silk dresses
ruined by Monday's rain.
Well, maybe not quite that many.
STEPHENS TALKS
ON APRIL 22 TO
BOYS IN CHAPEL
Tluirsday, April 22, at chapel period,
Rev. Will F. Stephens, member of the
Stephens revival campaign and hoys’
worker, spoke to the boys of the High
School. It was Rev. Mr. Stephens, or
“Brother Bill,” as he is usually known,
who organized “The Gang,'’ an organi
zation of young men who were converted
during tiie stay of the Stephens revival
compaign in High Point.
“lirother Bill,” in a talk tliat was
straight from the shoulder, stressed the
importance of square, wliole-hearted liv
ing by the boys. He also impressed on
the boys that popularity was a bad thing
for the boy unless the boy was the mas
ter of popularity instead of popularity
making the master of the boy. “When
you receive praise, thank the giver and
forget it," urged Rev. Mr. Stephens. At
the close of his powerful and heart-grip-
ping talk that held the boys’ attention
throughout his entire speech, lie invited
tlie boys to attend the services.
G.H.S. TO DEBATE
WITH CHARLOHE
Mebane and Kuykendale Will
Debate Here and Biggs and
Wilder At Charlotte.
STUDENTS VIEW SELVES
AS CAMERA SEES THEM
“Tweet! Tweet! Ivook at the birdie!
Oh, wait, my nose isn't powdered. Flave
you a vanity or a comb?” And such
were the remarks made as the pictures
wore being taken. Now they've come,
{ind oh, the disillusionment! Some of
them didn’t know they were so beautiful
—or ugly, as the case may be, until tliey
had their picture “tuck” the other day.
Heretofore they had been drifting
around in clouds of dreams, but alas!
they were suddenly awakened to find
that they were no longer Venuses as
they thought they were, but now they
see each other as others have seen them.
After this enlightenment the school is
made up of less conceited students.
There were some that were flattered;
they feel that the “camera man” did this
on purpose, as he wanted them to enjoy
the privilege of l)eing good-looking at
least once in their lives.
TYPING CONTEST TEAM
HEAR GEORGE GASKILL
April 27, George Gaskill, former cham
pion tyjiist, visited the typing represen
tatives. Mr. Gaskill is sent out by the
Underwood Typing Company, of New
York. He visited the team for the pur
pose of giving them some of his practice
drills and other helpful advice.
Mr. Gaskill will conduct the typing
contest, which will be held in Charlotte,
May 8.
The Good Will, St. Vincent, Ken
tucky, is a “good” name, to say the
least.
When Mr. Wunsch asked Ed. Men
denhall how he happened to get 101 on
his test, Ed replied that he answered
one question that wasn’t asked.
There were “all sorts and conditions
of men.” —Book of Common Prayer.
John Mebane and Edgar Kuykendall
will represent G. H. S. against Charlotte
debaters here, probably May 14 or 21,
debating the negative side of the eiglit
months school term question. In Char
lotte the same night Henry Biggs and
Carlton Wilder will argue against the
abolishment of capital punishment.
The debates are the result of a chal
lenge issued by Charlotte to the local
debating club last week. The club mem
bers express the opinion that this is quite
a forward step in debating. It is hoped
that this may be made an annual affair
and the debaters anticipate a heavy
schedule for next year with several con
tests preceding the Triangular Debate.
The queries arc: Resolved, That capi
tal punishment should be abolished in
the United States, and Resolved, That
North Carolina should levy a state prop
erty tax to aid in the support of an eight
months school term.
MRS. L. G. DIBBLE TALKS
TO GIRLS FORUM FRIDAY
Mrs. L. George Dibble, of the Stephens
evangelistic party, talked in chaiiel on
Wednesday, April 28. Her subject cen
tered around a quotation from the Bible,
“Daniel purposed in his heart not to
defile himself.'’ Before Mrs. Dibble’s
talk, Mr. George Dibble sang, accom-
jianied on the piano by Miss Birdie
Loes.
“'I'he mind is to the body what a pilot
is to a ship,'’ Mrs. Dibble stated. “If
the mind leads the body into wrong chan
nels, it will break to pieces upon the
rocks of life. The mind must not only
be clean itself, but must not allow the
body to acquire bad habits.”
Mrs. Dibble particularly warned her
hearers against cheap literature contain
ing degrading stories, “the reading of
which leads to conversation and habits
of a similar nature,” said the speaker.
