BOOK TRUCK SERVICE
STARTED BY LIBRARY
IN GUILFORD COUNTY
Truck Will Carry Book to All
County Schools and Com
munity Centers
MISS DONNELL IS ACTIVE
Guilford First County of State to Have
This Service—Miss Nellie Rowe
Is Leader In Project
Tuesday morning, October 19, the
Greensboro Public Library started a
Book Truck Service. The truck will
carry books to the schools and coin-
inunity centers of the county. The first
day, Guilford College, Friendship, and
Colfax were visited; Wednesday, Mc-
Leansville, Gibsonville, and Whitsett,
AVhile on Friday the truck went to
Pleasant Garden and Climax. A cir
cuit of the stops is to be made every
two weeks.
Miss Patsy Donnell, the librarian in
charge of the truck, is enthusiastic
over her new work. The circulation
of books from the truck for the first
three days was 566 books. Four hun
dred new members registered; this in
cluded some of the residents of the
Masonic and Eastern Star Home.
Guilford is the first county in North
Carolina to furnish this convenience to
its residents. Several other Southern
States have book trucks. Miss Nellie
Rowe, librarian of the Greensboro'
library, is responsible for this forward
movement. She has overcome many ob
stacles in her efforts to start these
trucks for the first time in North Caro
lina. The library officials say that
this is the biggest project, with the
most far-reaching results, of any in its
history.

DO YOU KNOW— i
What the Boys* Chibs Are? I
The boys’ clubs connected with the
Greensboro High ai’e very active this
year. These organizations have taken
in new members many of whom are out
standing leaders in the school life.
Most notable in this class of clubs are
the Hi-Y, Kiltie, and Baptist Boys’
Clubs.
The Hi-Y is connected with both the
Y. M. C. A. and the High School. The
objectives are the i)romotion of
clean athletics, clean speech, clean
sportsmanship, and clean living. Spirit,
mind, and body are developed through
the course of active membership. In
1920 the first Ili-Y club in the city was
organized under the direction of Mr.
F. R. Casper, then boys’ secretary of
the “Y.” Mr. G. B. Phillips, Mr. Lee
Edwards, and Mr. C. 'W. Phillips have
been Hi-Y leaders of note. Since the
Greensboro Hi-Y came into existence
that group has constantly grown and
broadened. Coach Coletraine is at pres
ent leader of the local organization,
consisting of two chapters, the Wood-
row 'Wilson and the Robert E. Lee.
J. Foster Barnes, connected with the
First Presbyterian Church at the time,
v^onceived the idea of a high school
boys’ cjub. The groiLp chose as their
name v\the Presbyterian High School
Boys’ c\^ub.” Later on, however, the
club adopted the name of Kiltie, repre
sentative of Scotland, seat of Presby
terianism. “Bobby” 'Wunsch was lead
er of the group during the year 1925-26.
Air. C. T. Boyd, local attorney, is lead
ing the club this year.
Mr. F. R. CaSlier, boys’ worker at the
First Baptist church, orgiuiized the
Baptist Boys’ Club in 1924. This club,
though it has not been is existence as
long as the other clubs has maintained
a high order of prestige among the
boys of the school. Miss Inabelle Cole
man, former ,advisor to LIigh Life, is
directing the destinies of the organiza
tion this year.
The boys’ clulis are coming to the
front as vital functions of the high
school. Their standards and ideals
set a goal for non-members to reach.
Membership in these clubs create ambi
tion among the boys. Mr. Phillips
heartily indorses the project of the
boys’ clubs as Avholesome factors in
the life of G. FI. S.
German hot dog vendors have or
ganized themselves into unions. Poor
dogs will have less chance now than
ever with the concerted efforts of the
vendors centered in one direction.'—

REFLECTOR STAFF
AWARDS CONTRACT
FOR SPRING ANNUAL
J. J. Stone to Do Printing—Pho-
tograhs of Seniors By
Flynt Studio
MEDIEVAL IDEA IS MOTIF
Only One Yearbook For Both Classes.
To Be Larger With More Material
Than Last Year’s
I’lie Reflector staff awarded its en
graving contract to the Capital EngraA -
ing Company, of Nashville, Tennessee,

out through the book. The yearbook
was planned page by page by the vari
ous editors at the last staff meeting.
Flynt Studio is making the pictures
of the seniors. Sittings will be finished
Friday night.
As there are only 18 Avho will gradu
ate at mid-term, this class has decided
to combine its yearbok with that of the
June graduating class; and so the one
that will come out next Junt will be
larger and will contain more material
than either of the yearbooks of last
year, or those of the preceding year.
DR. C. C. HUDSON STARTS
CLASSES IN
Exercise In Open Air, Cleanliness,
Sleep, Rest and Good Health Rules
Will Be Observed
BENEFITS UNDERWEIGHT CHILD
Dr. C. C. Hudson, city health officer,
with his staff, began nutrition classes
during the Aveek of October 25. There
are classes in 10 of the public schools
as AA'ell as the North Carolina Train
ing School, ’fhese classes are to be
formed on the average of tAvo a Aveek.
They are being formed for the benefit
of the underAveight school children.
The children aauII be weighed once a
week and a graph Avill be made of the
Aveights. A mid-morning lunch Avill be
given in the classes. Exercise in the
outdoor sunshine, cleanliness, sleep,
rest, and good health rules aaTII be ob
served.
Dr. Hudson believes that the cause
of so many underAveight children is the
lack of proper food. 'With these
classes and AAdth lectures on nutrition
once a month to the mothers he is
hoping to bring dOAvn the per cent of
underAveight children.
EVERYONE IS QUEER
“Evm-yone is queer but me and thee,
and thee is a little queer.’’
Thus, (piaintly, did Benjamin I’rank-
lin express an universal characteris
tic. High s(‘hool students, although
unable to express themseh’es as terse
ly as Franklin, just as unmistakably
shoAA" the quality—a tendency to be
little.
An ill-concealed giggle over some
one’s clothes, a slighting remark re
garding a classmate’s actions, unkind
gossip for no reason at all—these and
more constitute the language of criti
cism in use today .
We boast of being modern, yet the
trend of modernity is toAvard broad
mindedness and aAvay from narroAving
criticism.
J’he greatest harm is done, not to
the one about Avhom the “catty” things
are said, but to him Avho says them.
It reveals limited interests and a lack
of something AvorthAvhile to claim his
attention.—North Central Neics, Spo
kane, 'Wash.
Just because somebody tells you that
things can not remain as they are is
no reason to rejoice. They can get
Avorse.—Carolinian, N. C. C.

TEACHERS CONFIDE IN
HIGH LIFE REPORTER
Many Strange Suppressed Desires Are
Unearthed In Investigation of Fac
ulty-Only Five Will Talk
A feAA' teachers at G. H. S. haA'e been
l)reA'ailed upon to giA'e or to express
their chief desires to a High Life Re
porter.
Aliss Aloore, the noted math teacher,
dared to tell a reporter that her sup
pressed ( ?) desire, is to do Avhat she
Avants to, Avhen she AA’ants to do it.
The desire to be a hiAA'yer is Aliss
Wright’s.
If Ave hear a false alarm from Gas
ton Street Ave may knoAA’ that Aliss
Daisy Anderson has fallen on her
skates (she has recently taken up this
sport and needs assistance) or that
she has overcome her suppressed de
sire to break the glass in a firm alarm
box.
Aliss Bayer Avants to travel and
travel, until there’s noAvhere else to
travel.
Imagine our dignified Aliss Walker,
aaTio looks askance at certain posters
in the hall, confessing the desire to
slide doAvn the banister of the fire
escape.
AVe may have a feminine football
team yet. Aliss Tillett desires to star
in a game and seems Avilling to go any
lengths to fulfill it.
