PROMINENT JEWISH

HUMOR

Rabbi Louis Woolsey Addresses
Greensboro Open Forum
on April 12
QUESTIONS FOLLOW TALK
Rabbi Louis Woolsy, prominent Jew
ish leader of Philadelphia, addressed
the Greensboro Open Forum on Tues
day evening, April 12. His subject
“HAPPINESS” IS THEME
OF MISS COLEMAN
Girls’ Council Conducts Chapel Program
at Which Former Faculty Member
Speaks—Jane Harris Presides
MISS ALLRED GIVES VIOLIN SOLO
Miss Inabelle Coleman, former High
Life adviser, and head of the French
department at G. H. S., spoke at a
meeting conducted by the Girls’ Coun
cil at chapel Thursday, April 7. Jane
Harris, president of the council, pre
sided at the meeting. After the devo
tion led by Jane Harris, Nellie Allred
gave a violin solo.
“Happiness” was the theme of Miss
Coleman’s talk. “The palm is the cen
ter of the hand. As we thrust out our
hand to someone it may speak for it
self. Faith in man and God may be
compared with the palm,” said the
speaker. “Then the fingers have a sig
nificant meaning, too. The index finger
is used in pointing, and so by this we
tell what we do. This finger is named
‘Service,’ und service should play a
large part in all of our lives,” she con
tinued.
“The middle finger is co-operation
and a necessary factor. The ring finger
names itself. It is called love, and
love is as old as the world. Then the
little finger is spirit. I like to see girls
enthusiastic in what they do,” de
clared Miss Coleman. “Without the
thumb we cannot make the best of the
other four symbols. The thumb is
character. By service to God and man,
by co-operation, love and enthusiasm
was “Social Justice.” The usual ques
we make our goal. Just the little
things of eevryday occur ranee make
our character. These five traits are
necessaiy for happiness, and there is
no reason why every girl isn’t happy,”
concluded Aliss Coleman.
tions followed the lecture.
Rabbi Woolsey, who has made con
siderable study of social conditions,
forcefully and clearly presented the so
cial problems of today. He believes
that so long as the world remains pri
marily aquisitive, so long as success
is measured by money, social justice is
impossible. If it were possible to pro
fessionalize the world, to make service
such as that rendered by the physician
and the teacher the prime object, it
would be a great step toward perfec
tion. This, of course, is an ideal, which,
as the speaker explained, like all other
ideals is an impossibility.
The condition of miners and the at
titude toAvard foreigners were deploru-d
by the speaker. A discussion
strikes and the attitude of the churches
toward the situation resulted in several
questions from the audience.
“Are consumers willing to pay the in
creased price necessitated by a five-day
week?” one member of the audience
asked.
“They always have paid,” replied the
speaker.
It was painted out that an increase
in price would affect the laborer as
well since he was also a consumer.
On Thursday, April 21st, Judge Ben
Lindsey, noted juvenile court expert,
addressed the Forum on “The Revolt
of Modern Youth.”
Let us get into this subject, boys!!!
What did you think of when you saw
that exclamation? Why, boys, of course,
and along with the thought came
thoughts of tops, marbles, bicycles, left
hind rabbits’ feet, dead-rats, and a
host of other “truck” whose value may
be determined by its usefulness.
As I sat on French class wrtiing this
excuse for ticklishness, I thought that
I should get a better idea on my sub
ject by repeating it with three evcla-
mation points (as above). Doing this,
I found myself to be quite taken out
of my seat by the force of it. That is
the force of Miss Jo Causey’s left jab
to the jaw. Taken aback—that is—
takenaa back up and slapped a back
down, I became infuriated and left the
room—that is, on Miss Causey’s orders.
Naw, that’s the way one must suffer
for his art. ^ But that’s another and
different story altogether. Stop me
sometime if you haven’t heard it.
Well, when I busted out, “Boy!!!”
with the above results, the wallop from
Mile. Causey’s left did not irritate me
to any great degree, because a thought
struck me first, and I was quite numb
when the “left” arrWed. I did not
think of boys or dead rats, but of that
sex quite opposite boys, namely girls.
And while we’re dealing with statis
tics, (/ never could says that word
right) I’d put my last shirt ont it
that ninety-seven and a half per cent
of my readers said, “That boys a big
fool,” when they read that statement.
But do not judge me unjustly. I can
explain evtrything, dear. (You’re seen
that in the funny-paper, I know.)
Y"ou see, I’m in love. I’m the guy
that wrote a lot of that sentimental
stuff that goes into songs, but I was
afraid of breach of promise, so I put
Irvin Berlin’s name to a lot of ’em.
I’m clever, I am.
TEACHERS SEEK FAR
REFUGES FROM WORK
HOLIDAY
Twenty Faculty Members Leave
for Their Homes or to Visit
Out of Town
RESULTS SEEM PLEASANT
Mr. C. W. Phillips Goes to Beaufort,
and Miss Fannie Starr Mitchell
Spends Vacation at Boone
Apparently the teachers sought the
farthest possible means of refuge from
their regular quarters during the past
blissful holidays.
The result seem to have been pleas
ant, judging from the far-away ex
pressions seen Tuesday.
The following were out-of-town trav
elers :
Misses Sallie Newman, Leasburg;
Lucy Morgan, Bessie Behney, Robbie
Bayer, Edith Hammond, Ina Mae Le-
Roy, Washington, D. C.; Mary Ellen
Blackmon, Lancaster; Fannie Star
Mitchell, Booneffi Daisy Anderson, Mars
Hill; Willie Hall, Rougemont; lone
Grogan and Evelyn Martin, Charlotte;
Catherine Hight, Henderson; Annie
Caldwell, Raleigh; Sarah Lesley, Lake
Junaluska; Emily Wright, Black
Mountain; Margaret Bridgers, Mocks-
ville; Lena Bullard, Fayetteville; Es
telle Mitchell, Statesville, and Mr. C.
W. Phillips, Beaufort.
As I was saying, I’m in love, and, a
fellow in love either doesn’t think at
all, or thinks opposite everybody else,
so “boys,” brings thoughts of “girls,”
to me.
This is “boys’ week,” and I’m hap
py ; boys should be happy; girls should
be happy-even teachers should be hap
py—why—it’s springtime, and besides
“International Consolidated Pigiron” is
down seventy points, and none of us
own a bit of it.
Editor's Note—If you can understand
this you’re perfect; if you read it all
you’re dog-gone hard-up for reading
matter.

“NIGGERS”
“Wait for me, Lily! I just wish they
had a private hallway for us!”
“Ain’t this awful? Oh, there goes
my AAdg! It gets “crookeder” every
step I take. Wouldn’t we be cute if'
we had these little black plaits all the
time?”
“Who Avants those ‘little black
plaits?’ Who wants a private hall
way?”
Just then, I saw two figures in typ
ical dark costumes—yelloAV bandans
and huge black shoes—-plaits and black
shiny faces. They disappeared behind,
the main building.
Who were they?
Noav I knoAv. They were two of the
many “negroes” who were taking part
in the entertainment that Miss Dry’s
session room was giving in chapel.
