RED KNOWS ’IS ONIONS
Red noses, white onions, blue Alon-
lay. Red for courage and mercura-
chrome, Avhite for ])urity and onions,
l>lue for truth and Alonday. Red,
white, and blue, our national colors;
those which should inspire patriotism,
enthusiasm, and loA’e for fellowmen.
But on the campus of the Greensboro
High School, October 17, in the year of
our Lord 1927, those masculine mem
bers of the student body avIio flared
those colors so brazenly stood for iu-
difl'erence to the ladies (?), every
thing but patriotism, and the Hi-Y
club. Such undignifled procedure is
outrageous! Good Gracious, how a
sane minded student could stoop to
joining such a club in such a manner,
1 don’t understand! I sincerely hope
that in the future there will be no
such initiations because I had to sit
next to a boy who wore an onion.
