The annual Father and Son banquet
was held at the Greene Street Grill on
Friday evening, November 12, at 6:30
o’clock. Mr. Fesperman, of Charlotte,
N. C., the state boys’ Y. M. C. A. sec-
retary, made a most inspiring talk to
the fathers and sons. Several songs
tvere sung under the direction of Grady
Miller. Be^mrly Moore talked to the
fathers on behalf of the sons. Mr. L.
M. Johnson responded for the fathers.
M’’. IT. Coletrane was chairman for the
evening and he also made an interest
ing talk to the group. A four-course
dinner was served to about thirty
fathers and sons.
TRAVELOG OF A WANDERING
ALUMNUS
(Continued from Page Five)
a negroid head is, we peep around the
room until we see one. He asked how
many teeth man has and I counted
mine. But he asked how many an ape
has and when I asked the boy next
to me to count his the boy was furious.
Boys are funny, aren’t they?
“The other night I was fast asleep
when I felt myself sliding back and
forth across the room. The windows
were making an awful noise. There
was a huge full-length mirror on my
wail and it was playing the Anvil
Chorus while my chair danced around
the room. Didn’t take me one minute
or three guesses to know what the
trouble was. An earthquake needs
no announcer. I just sat still and
held on with both hands, and
prayed. Sounds sacreligions (?)
I suppose, but all I could think
of was “If I die before I wake,”
so 1 said that. Everyone in the state
got awake except Dick. I’ve always
said an earthquake wouldn’t wake him.
I tried to go back to sleep but I’d lost
all my faith in nature, so I sorta kept
one eye open and in about an hour
everything started to bang again. I was
scared to death; I’ll admit it. I ex
pected to be sitting in the bay in the
morning. That was about three o’clock.
About four there was another, so I got
up. There wasn’t anything one could
do, but. I wanted to be ready when I
did it. There weren’t any more for three
days. On Sunday afternoon there was
another. Dick was out playing tennis
and if you’re in the open you don’t
feel ’em, so he missed that one. He’s
furious—3vants me to promise to call
him next time. He needn’t worry. If
there is another one. I’ll call eimrybody
in Oakland.
“Yon woulB like San Francisco. To
get over there one has to ferry. Go
right past the Golden Gate. It’s so
pretty at sunset. San F. is even hillier
than Oakland. Instead of street cars
they have cable cars. It’s always quite
cold there—fur coats e^mry day in the
year. Oh, my, yes! California has a
wonderful climate. The wonderful part
about it is that people actually can
stand it. You see there is a great deal
of fog. Lovely fog. It never rains.
Sometimes the fog gets so thick that it
bounces. In fact, the other day the
streets were flooded with it. It’s quite
wet, too. But I must say, it ne^mr
rains in California. There is either
a “high fog” or a “low fog.” A high
fog reaches from the sky down to the
ground; a low fog reaches from the
ground up to the sky. It rolls, in from
the bay at about five at night, and
goes out about ten next morning. Won
derful climate.
This letter has become a baby book,
hasn’t it? And freight charges across
country are terrific. Please remember
me to everybody.”
HUMOR
/By G. Todd
Editor’s Note : Mr. G. Todd wishes to
inform his admiring public that the
humor of last issue was not of his pen.
He says that it shall be published that
Carlton "Wilder wrote the same. None
of Wilder’s works shall in the future
be headed by the name, G. Todd, with
out immediate action by him.
Mr. Carlton "Wilder sends to us this
note: “In the last issue of High Life
there was a mistake in naming the
Lliimor editor. I would ha^m my read
ers know that G. Todd is not capable
of such noble works as appeared in the
Humor column, and that it is I who
have tickled the funny-bones of the
pupils of G. II. S. Please correct this
plagiarism.”
M^e were gathered around the big
stove at the crossroads store. The spit
ting contest was on. The soap-boxes
were drawn in a circle, each an equal
distance from the stove and each con
testant given a square inch of “Brown
Mule,” which was chewed vigorously
for film minutes by each.
In order, counter-clockwise, they spat
upon the stove, the one raising the most
steam winning the contest. One of
“the boys” was ruled out on a “foul” ;
he filled his month with kerosene and
laid a smoke-screen that required the
opening of a window.
The rightful winner, a long, lean old
man from down the country, was al
lowed to “spin the first yarn” as a re
sult of his prowess in expectoration.
He began his tale:
“Two year ago, come next June, me
an’ Jim decided to take one er them
touring trips into the mountains, so we
bought one er them fifty-fifty automo
biles, second-handed—you know the !
kind—maybe it’ll run an’ maybe not—
a strict fifty-fifty basis.
“"VVe piled on everything from dish-
pans to piano-stools an’ started off in
a general direction of the mountains,
guided by the advice of seventeen per
sons. or Granny Simpson told us if
it got cold to put on our red flannels
an.' not to sleep in a ‘draft’ John
Moore told ns to go one way an’ his
brother. Jack, another, so we went the
only way we had not been advised to
go, an’ got to some mountains anyhow,
so we was , satisfied. Me an’ Jim had a
pretty good time huntin’ an’ fishin’, but
after a week of such life, we got tired
of it. What made us get tired of it
was a big bear which broke loose from
a circus an’ took up with some jam in
our ‘mess’ tent. He didn’t have no tags
on him that he was from a circus, how
ever, so me an’ Jim clnin’ a tree.
“This little affair made us awful
homesick, so we piled on onr pans and
piano-stools and chugged off toward
home hitting on both cylinders.
“We come down through them moun
tain towns so fast it caught our breath ;
and every time we passed one a bagged
eared constable bellowed at ns to stop.
One time we hit a little upgrade and
found that we could make twenty mile
an hour.
“I looked sick at Jim, an’ he says,
‘Somethin’s wrong; this is too good to
be true.’ We investigated the thing
an’ found the motor was missing, so, as
Jim had the rheumatism, I had to
tramp four miles up the road and lug
it back.
“We got started again, got to goin’
pretty fast, when we flew through a
little town called HicksiTlle makin’
twenty-five. But at the edge of town
there was a rise in the road which, we
couldn't coast over, an’ our engine went
dead.
“A whiskered ol’ constable rushed
down on ns with a ol’ Ford which Noah
had owned and fined us three dollars
and thirty-three cents. Jim laughed an’
said, ‘Gimme two dollars and cancel the
fine and this outfit is yourn. If you git
what you said we was makin’ out of
it she is yonrn anyhow.’
“This made the ol’ man mad, but he
didn’t want to support us in the jail,
so we promised to send him the money
later..” '
GROGAN’S SENIORS
IN UNIQUE CONTEST
ON TEACHERS’NAMES
Myra Wilkinson and Catherine
Wharton Have Charge of
Interesting Program
RUTH ABBOTT WINS PRIZE
Various Cartoons Drawn on Board Rep
resenting Names of G. H. S.
Pedagogues
RADIO
HARDWARE
SPORTING GOODS
At chapel period November 16, a very
clever program was featured by the
seniors of 106. Myra Wilkinson and
Catherine Wharton had charge and
after the devotional exercises a con
test was held. On the board various
cartoons were drawn which, if inter
preted correctly, would reveal the
names of the faculty. For instance, a
drawing of a can marked “ash” plus a
cartoon of a I’ord stood for Mrs. Ash
ford. There were eighteen pictures.
Matilda Robinson and Ruth Abbott,
each of whom named thirteen correctly,
drew for the prize, which was a bar of
candy, and Ruth Abbott was the final
winner.
Miss Grogan was so pleased with the
clever way to write the teachers’ names
that she requested that the names re
main on the hoard so that they might
learn to make their signatures in that
fashion. .
OLDER BOYS’ CONFERENCE WILL
BE HELD IN WINSTON DEC. 3-5
The eighth annual conference of the
North Carolina Older Boys will be
held in Winsfdn-Salem December 3-5.
This conference is given under the aus
pices of the state Y. M. C. A.
All older boys fifteen years of age
and over may attend. These represent
churches, Sunday schols, Y. M. C. A.’s,
Hi-Y clubs, DeMolay’s, Boy Scouts,
High Schools, etc. As many boys are
attending these meetings, a limited
number of reservations will have to be
made this year. The conference theme
will be “Christian Character.”
HOMESPUN STAFF ISSUES
MODERN YOUTH NUMBER
(Continued from Page One)
the Morehead Cup in 1926 also is to be
found in the copy.
Henry Biggs contributed several
articles to the publication and Carlton
Wilder, editor-in-chief, wrote an article,
“An Opinion on Modern Education,”
that is practically a masterpiece, com
ing from a high school student.
The Warp and Woof, or editorial sec
tion, is very attractive. The editor’s
opinion, “Is Youth Incomprehensible?”
and Henry Biggs’ editorial and the
“Anti-Teahound Law” are both very
good, while “Applesauce,” by G. Todd,
adds the necessary hmnorons touch.
Ruth Heath, Myra lYilkinson and
Minnie Herman gave valuable products
to the “Tangled Threads,” and Mary E.
King had a poem in the issue called
“Orphans of the Storm.”
“The Shuttle,” or exchange depart
ment, is edited by Ruth Abbott, and
the “AVeaver’s Guild,” by Mary Jane
AA barton, contains a letter from Helen
Felder, last year’s editor of Homespun,
‘ To the Staff of Homespun and its
friends.”
THE BEST SPEECH MADE
“Biirr-rr-rr-”
“Shucks, I don’t see what they want
us to stay here for and freeze.”
“Let’s try to get out.”
Hej, boj^ ! Do you want to go back
to school?”
“N-n-n-nno, sir.”
“AA-ell, get back in there then.”
“Shoot: I’d rather go to school than
freeze out here.”
“Miss Mitchell, please let ns go now !”
“Well, you may go now.”
These last words were the best ones
said out at the Stadium Thursday
morning, in the estimation of probably
all of those half frozen G. H. S. stu
dents. : . '
