JOURNALISM PROJECTS
Airs. AA". G. Coletrane's journalism
class has a record to he jiroud of. Not
a day jiasses without each and OA’ery-
one contributes news well worth read
ing.
As a ])roject for last week, they made
up a front page with headlines. This
])roved to he no easy task, but each
made up good pages.
Those in the class are: Carl Lane
Browne, Douglas Cartland, Francis
Craddock, Leila G. Cram, Rose Good

THOSE ACORN SLINGERS
Disregarding all rules of military
science and tactics, the younger hoys
of G. H. S. have engaged in numerous
conflicts (causes unknown) for the past
few days. These battles are the most
ferocions that have been staged on the
campus for many a day. Tins can be
easily understood when one takes the
weapons used into consideration. They
hurt, the.v sting, and the only way to
escaije injury from them is to take a
course in professional dodging. Jave-
line-throwing is not half so graceful as
acorn-throwing.
The boys who are stud.ving Caesar
are the l)est throwers, as they try to
copy the style of his legions. Next to
lieing ;i gra(‘eful thrower is the honor
of being a good dodger.
The athletic heads of the school have
considering the feasibility of organiz
ing the acorn-slingers into teams as a
phase of high school physical culture.
The highest rank that scoiiting af
fords, that of Eagle Scout, was award
ed Henry AVeiland, a Greensboro High
boy, at the last meeting of the Greens
boro Court of Honor, Saturday, Octo
ber t. The badge was presented to
him with a short si)eech by Air. R. I).
Douglas, president of the court, who
exacted the promise from Henry that
although he had attained a scout’s high
est rank, he would go on with his scout
work as he had in the ])ast. For jjast
work he has been awarded MJ merit
badges.
Henry is a patrol le;uler in troop 5,
having been a scout for four years,
and is a fifth semester junior in high
school. He has a silver star, is presi
dent of his session room and is a meni-
bei' of the Debating Club. Ever since
he entered high school he has done
good work and is well thought of by
AMERICAN GIRL SCOUTS
CHANGE OLD UNIFORM
The Girl Scouts of America, hold
ing their thirteenth animal conven-
i
tion last week in New York, select
ed their national officers for 1928.
The two-])iece, martial-looking uni
form. which the girl scout has
worn since 1911, was rejected. It
was not only obsolete, and deceiv
ing of the true temperament of the
wearer. Airs. Herbert Hoover, first
vice-president, said, but downright
“funny.” A gray-green twill uni
form with a more feminine hat of
green felt will be the costume for
both officers and girls. xV further
indignity was thrown on the old
uniform when outsiders mistook a
girl scout for a khaki-clad “tin can
tourist.”
“I'he girl of today is no wiser than
her grandmother, but she talks in
the language of today, Avhich is two
generations more sophisticated,”
Airs. Hoover said at the meeting.

USE OF THE LIBRARIES STRESSED
xAt :i meeting of the teachers of the
Greensboro city school system at the
high school, Saturday morning. Septem

tendent of city schools, outlined the va
rious extension courses to be giA'en at
North Carolina College for M'omen and
Greensboro College this year.
There Avill be courses in music and
art, the contemporary novel, history,
and modern thought. Air. Archer asked
all the te;ichers to try to take one of
these courses.
During his talk Air. Archer said: “If
the Greensboro schools are the best in
the state, it is not because of any state
index, but because the teachers are
meeting the situation unusually aa'cII
in the matter of indiA'idual teaching.”
He praised the teachers of Greensboro
highly.
