Give Several Selections Scouts Dorothy Donnell, Rose Good win, Dorothy Stewart, and Kathleen AAT'enn, under the leadership of Cap tains Katherine AA^harton and Inabelle Coleman, gave a program at the Ki- wanis club luncheon Thursday, Sep tember 20. Miss Katherine AATiarton gave a brief history of scouting in Greensboro. The needs of the scouts of this city was also given. Especially a local director and a scout camp are the present neces sities. Dorothy Stewart related some of the incidents at the Roaring Gap Girl Scout camp. Rose Goodwin told about the instruction and social life at the camp. Dorothy Donnell gave a list of the ac tivities which scouts will engage in during scout week, October 0-14.

He managed to get the desired number without going to the extreme, however. PURPLE WHIRLWIND IN YEAR’S FIRST GAME DOWNS REDSVILLE Touchdown Made in First Part of Game When Punt Is Blocked R.H.S. SCORES ON FUMBLE Delaney Is Visitors’ Starring Man; Makes Only Run for Team on a 60 Yards Play The Purple AA'hirlwind opened the grid season, Friday, September 22, with a victory over Reidsville. AA'hen the whistle sounded at the final quarter the score was 31 to G. Reidsville put up a snappy fight before the heavier and more experienced Greensboro eleA’en was able to down them. A large part of the student bodj’ was at the stadium cheering the Purple and Gold warriors. Reidsville won the toss and defended the north goal. Captain Brown kicked off to Reidsville and Benson brought the ball back 12 yards. Failing to gain, R. H. S. resorted to a punt. Brown crashed through Reidsville’s line and blocked the kick. G. H. S. then started an offensive that ended in a touch down. Teague gained seven yards over the line. Cook added two more and Davant tore off fourteen yards and placed the ball within scoring distance. Teague smashed the line for twelve yards and made a touchdown. On the second kick-off the visitors were held for downs and another march started down the field. AA'hen Greensboro seemed so well in the lead. Coach AVoodward sent in the second team. Reidsville played them to a standstill and Delaney picked up a fumble and raced down the field GO yards for a touchdown, and the longest run of the game. Coach AVoodward sent the first team back into the fight for the last quar ter. Two more touchdowns were add ed before the final whistle. There are two people who spend much of their time helping G. H. S.’s football team, and receive very little credit. These two are Dr. Tankersley and Emile Hodge. “Doc” is always on hand at every game to take care of the injured. Emile rubs down all the sore spots of the team every night. A new scoreboard has been installed at the stadium. This is similar to the one at Carolina and helps the spectator to enjoy the game exceedingly more. The score, number of yards to go, and what down it is, are all told on the board. “Now, Aliss Alartin, I bet you won last night,” was the cheery greeting to the teacher in room 8. “I suppose your les,son will tell who the winners were,” was the reply. “A dollar and sixty cents is right good in just one night. T’m gonna col lect at lunch,” boastfully proclaimed another student. “Yes, I didn’t lose but a dollar. I won before, but lost it all last night.” “Uh-huh, now who were you betting with'f’ “Dad, and mother got me for it, too.” “Yes, and you better watch out or somebody else will get you, too,” was the advice given. Nothing like this appeared in Cicero’s first oration, but it was the topic of discussion on September 23. Chapel Hill, N. C. Homer Coltrane, Ciire of Greensboro High School: AATll admit Greensboro High team today. CHARLES T. AYOOLEN. The above is a telegram; the two teams, Carolina and AVake Forest, agreed to let our team see their game. Ocfoher 7, 1927 The above picture is of two of the most ('steemed of G. IT. S. coaches, “Red” Routh and Coletrane. It was planned to send this picture to the next beauty contest but when it was found that the candid;it('s would have to appear in per son, Air. Phillips said it would be a waste of time. .1. H. .Tohnson is responsible for this masterpiece. He deserves much credit for his wonderful imagination of the models’ facial expression.

TEN BEAUTIFUL CAKES GIVEN AT STADIUM Bob Homey Wins First Place and Gets Choice of All Ten Cakes CHEERIO SQUAD APPEARS SATURDAY AT STADIUM All Wear White Uniforms—Cheerleac ers Lead Snake Dance During Halves of Greensboro-Asheville Game Cheerios of G. H. S. made their debu at the Asheville-Greensboro game. Sat urday, October 1, at the stadium. AIor( than 50 cheerios Avore long Avhite duel tiousers, and the others Avore Avhit( skirts. A purple or gold cap adoruet each head. At the end of the firs lialf of the game the cheerios, led bj Clarence Phoenix, participated in f snake dance. They formed a “G” or the field, and the croAvning event Avas the formation of an “A” for the oppos ing team. There Avere ten—frosted, fragrant, tempting, all of them. Ten cakes percdied on a table in the blazing sun. In front of them Avas a hOAvling, color ful grandstand ; behind them Avas a des- l)erately contested football game. It Avas neai’ing the end of the second quar ter, and out a.long the cinder track that rimmed the field shot thirteen runners in a long roAV, their muscular legs reaching out in long, steady strides, their arms SAvinging easily in rhythm to the motion of their run. As they ])assed the table Avhere the cakes peace fully reposed, longing eyes rolled in the direcflon of the glossy frosting; train ing-tried appetites caused mouths to Avater. Then they reneAA’ed their ef forts, spurred on by the thought of the reAvard Avhich Avas in store for the vic tors. Up in the grandstand people buzzed. A yoLuig lady avIio thoughtlessly sat too near a High Life reporter, Avas heard to remark, “I Avonder Avho’ll get my cake. I'm curious to see Avho'll be sick next Monday." The runners loped on, disappeared. The Avhistle bleAV for the halt; the football players staggered off the field. The band played; the cheer- ing-sqiiad capered on the field. Time passed. Appeared the runners, loping along at the farthest side of the field, coming in on the home-stretch. They circled the track, and passed in front of the stands. The croAvds cheered Avildly, as the Avinner shot across the tape. Bob Homey aa’us first, Harold BoAAunan sec ond, Bernard Gilmer, Ed Kuykendall, and Gordon Matlock Avere third, fourth, and fifth, respectively. A cup Avas pre sented to the senior class for one year for the feat of their member. Bob Hor- ney, in Avinning the race.
