HISTORY PROFESSOR
SPEAKS TO SENIORS
I Greensboro Alumni of Carolina
i Hear Mr. Graham On Train
s' ing For Leadership
G. H. S. BOYS AT BANQUET
Frank Graham, professor of history
at U. N. C., spealcing before the
Greensboro Alumni of the University
and their guests, the senior boys of
the high school, at a banquet Thursday
evening, December 30, declared that in-
tellerduiil, social, and industrial lead
ers must be trained in North Carolina
to take hold of the great industrial era
now looming in the South,
Mr. Graham rapped Governor A. W.
McLean’s policies in that he stressed
the need of unstinted educational re
sources, not to be impaired by a de
crease in financial support. “The col
leges must lead in this Avork,” he said,
“and North Uarolina must not hinder
their development, for in doing so she
dwarfs hm; )\vn life.”
IT.or to the main address of the-
evening by Professor Graham, an en
thusiastic meeting was held presided
over by Earle E. Hives. II. II. Frazier,
local attorney, welcomed the high
'School seniors on behalf of the alumni
end Robert Wilkins on behalf of the
University students. Beverly Moore,
representing the high school seniors,
responded. Moore stated that he hoped
every Greensboro high school graduate
would be able to attend college and re-
•ceive its benetits. Miss Marian Craw-
lord, the only alumnae present, also
Made a short talk.
Tyre G. Taylor, representing the
General alumni association, rapped
GoA^ernor McLean’s policy of cutting
doAvn on state school appropriations.
He said that the iieAA^spapers of the
state Avere circulating imopaganda in
favor of reducing taxes.
Norman Boren, Greensboro attorney,
introduced the speaker of the eA’ening,
Trofessor Prank Graham.
The Zotvian, the annual of Balboa
High School, Canal Zone, Avas recently
received from I’anama by Miss lone
tirogan. The annual aauis sent through
the courtesy of Ben Williams, former
])rinciiml of MclA'er school, aaTio is uoaa'
superintendent of the schools in that
place.
The Zonian differs in many respects
from the annuals published by G. H. S.
The larger part of the sport section
seems to be taken up Avith SAvlmming.
There are many picturesque scenes of
palms and other tropical groAvths in the
book.
An interesting fact about this annual
from Panama is that the majority of
pupils haA’e. American names instead of
S])anish, as Avould be expected. Most
of them (‘om.e froni the.United States,,
and comparatively feAv are natives of
the Zone district.
The views of buildings shoAV that
Si vanish, a r ch itecture predom inates in
that section. The photographs of the
canals and public buildings add much
to the attractiveness of the aniiTial.

CALOMEL
'‘THRIFT” IS SUBJECT OF
AYCOCK P. T. a. MEETING
The Parent-Teacher Association of
d'cock school met Tuesday, January
at 3:30 o'clock. “Thrift” Avas the
abject of the afternoon’s program.
'• W. Gold, C. C. McLean, and Mrs.
'• H. Martin made, short talks folloAA’-
ig the “Thrift” program. A round
ible discu.«sion Avas then held. The
2hool hand furnished music for the
iGetin?.
ii Avas n..i.iv;ed i/y some fc'’’ of us
about the school on a recent AVedues-
day that G. Todd Avas among the miss
ing. Delving into the matter probably
more than Avas necessary, it aa^is found
that there Avas ample reason for his
absence.
The dear boy, it seems, Avas paying
a little sheik’s call on a lady-friend
Avho Avas sick of a terrible cold, and
a neighbor brought in some medicine
Avhile he Avas in the midst of his visit.
The sick lady-friend opened a little
packet and made the aAA'fullest face
poor Gl had ever seen, for there lay
three innocent little capsules. With a
big-heartedness that is typical of him,
ve yumor editor shoAved the little lady
that -taking pills “Avasn’t nothin’,” and
duly'sAvalloAved one of them.
It need only be said that the medi
cine Avas “calomel” and that the girl
gave G. Todd a lemon, Avhich she said
Avonld counteract it and keep him from
being sick. A huge supper later de-
A'oured, ice cream, fruit-cake, and sour
pickle did not help the situation to any
great extent and so—^—•
Well, that’s a hint of the reason for
G.’s absence.

STABEBA TROOP HOLDS

First “Court of Honor” Held After
Regular Program—Next Meeting
January 15
PATROLS MAKE NUMEROUS PLANS
Saturday morning, January 8, the
Stabeha troop of Girl Scouts heUi its
regular meeting at the First Baptist
chnrcli. The scout drill, several songs
and the devotional composed the first
part of the meeting. SeA’eral matters
of business Avere discussed and the
troop planned to adopt a little five-year-
old boy at the Children’s Home. At
the next meeting, January 15, part of
the lu’ogram AA'ill be made np of games
planned by three members of the troop.
The different patrols met separately
before the close of the meeting to plan
the Avork for the coming Aveek. After
ridv session a court of honor Avas held.
This 3, ’^ 3 3'^ first of its kind ever held
in the trodp. 'hins AA'ere talked over
and the Avork of the four jvatrols Avas
reported by tile patrol leaders.
NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS!
During the last Aveek of my associa
tions Avith my classmates, I luiA^e
learned of several persons Avho desire
to make knoAvn to the Avorld that they
have decided to turn over a neAv leaf
in their school actiAuties. G. B. Wynne
was the only teacher Avho Avas deter
mined to have his resolution in High
Life.
Vernon Patterson, Avho Avas found at
home studying, resoh^ed that he AAmnld
si)end his evenings “At I’eace with the
Books” instead of “At Peace Avith the
World.” It Avon’t he long nOAV, Pat.
Clarence I’hoenix, upon the threshold
of being late his third time, resolves to
be at school by 8 :30 each school morn
ing.
Graham Todd resolA’es to control his
pen, thereby saving many persons Avho
are subject to fits of laughter. This
Avill greatly reduce the death rate in
North Carolina.
James Clements resolves to take time
to eat three square meals a day instead
of tAVO. .Timmy says he don’t Avant to
he like no dog.
Finley Atkisson resolves to get a
fresh start at college next year. (Prob
ably a.s AAuiter boy).
Mr. W^ynee, being unafraid and think
ing that all his girls are angels, re-
soIa’cs to submit a Avritten report each
day of his encounters during the past
a i gilt.
The students of the Central High
School, Charlotte, N. C., have a scheme
similar to ours for making money. They
managed Ivey’s store for one day just
as our seniors did at Meyer’s. The fol-
loAving are excerpts from an article in
' the HaniMer:
“A grand total of ^24,761 Avas the
result for Avhich Central High’s, stu
dents had Avorked so hard. Of the
sales Central High received $247.61, one
percent of the gross receipts. The
money Avas given to the Student Coun
cil of Central High to be given to some
purpose or organization Avhich is
Avorthy of it.
“The students of the third floor cov
ered themselves Avith honor Avhen they,
shoAved a greater increase over, last i
year’s sales, than any other floors i.A
prize of a tAventy-dollar table fo,?; the,
auditorium stage Ay as presented tO:thi,s,.
floor by lA'ey’s. , , ,
“At the close of the day the stndepts
on the third floor celebrated their
achieA'ement by an impromptu snake
dance..” ’
It at mays makes me laugh.
So, teonderful a. treat.

And only move tivo feet.

: IIoAv many of yon knoAV that a snow
fall is measured? The instrument used
for this purpose is called a “snow
gauge,” Ayhich is a tank of cyliiidrical
shape, open at the top. The snOAV that
falls into the tank is automatically
AVeighed, (he object in vieAv being to
find out hoAA' much Avater it represents.
The snoAA^. gauge contains, a paper cov
ered cylindei' rotated by clOck-Avork, on
Avhich a pen records the amount of
snoAV that falls. Ten inches of neAv-
fallen suoaa’ aaIII, ordinarily, be equiva
lent to one inch of rain.—Southerner.
“Studied Quotations”
The early bird has to shake up the
kitchen stove.
' The height of foolishness is a dumb
girl turning a deaf ear to a blind date.
. Give a man enough rope and he’ll
smoke himself to death.

How He Was Tackled
He made a run around the end.
Was tackled from the rear;
The right guard sat upon his neck.
The fuilhaek on his car.
The center sat upon his legs.
Two ends sat on his chest.
The quarter and halfhack then
Sat down on him to rest.
The left guard sat upon his head,
A tackle on his face.
The coroner teas then called in
To sit upon his case.

G. H. S. TRANSFORMED
BY HEAVY SNOWFALL
'When Ave Avoke uji IMonday morning
Ave rubbed our eyes and gasped. The
air Avas filled Avitli flying snoAvflakes
Avhicli had already transformed the bare
landscape into a scene from fairyland.
It Avas the biggest suoav Greensboro had
seen in years! And it Avas a lovely
sight. The drab trees of G. H. S.
seemed to have a ueAv beauty and the
old buildings appeared much cheerier
that morning. When 1 looked from
the neAV building toAvard G. C. it
seemed as if an artist had been at Avork
on the hillside. Laughter and shouts
brought me to the reaitistic side of
life as I patiently and quickly dodged
a Avell-aimed .suoAvball.
