Contest to Be Given For the Benefit of
Empty Stocking Fund—Working on
Music For State Contest
The following program has been
planned for fhe music deparfment of
fhe high school fhis year. “Other plans
will be made,” says Mr. Miller, head of
fhe departmenf, “bnt fhese have already
been scheduled.”
The Glee Club and mixed chorus are
fo broadcast some time in the next two
weeks. The date is not certain. Sev
eral contests have been planned at the
Country Club, Sedgefield and one at the
Carolina Theater for the benefit of the
Empty Stocking Fund.
During the first part of April the
orchestra will give a concert for the
Euterpe Club.
Several towns, including Charlotte,
High Point, Asheboro, and Guilford
College, have requested that the Glee
Club and orchestra give evening pro
grams at each place.
Plans for a musical revue to be given
at the end of the semester are now
being worked on.
As the usual annual opera of the
high school, “Mikado,” by Gilbert and
Sullivan, has been chosen by the de
partment. The opera of last year, “Pi
rates of Penzance,” was by the same
composer, but “Mikado” is more spec
tacular and more interesting from sev
eral standpoints.
Work is now under way on the mu
sic for the annual music contest to be
held the first of April and for the Na
tional Music Week coming the first of
May.
Greensboro is taking part in these
state contests this years as they have

SCHOOL BOARD OBTAINS
NEW PROPERTY SITES
Plants Will Be Second to None in N,
C. and Among Best
in South
Proper steps are now being taken to
complete all legal transactions prior
to the taking over by the Board of Edu
cation the two tracts of land decided
upon for school sites, known as the
Scales tract and the Bergman-Glendale
property. Condemnation proceedings
and other legal barriers are rapidly
being cleared away so that the actual
work may begin.
The Associated Architects, of this
city, headed by Charles Hartman, have
been retained, and engineers are exam
ining the tracts to facilitate the final
preparation of the blus-prints. It is
understood that the new plants will be
second to none in North Carolina and
maong the very best in the South.

Edward Spafford, commander of the
American Legion, concluded his address
in the Tro Cadero before a great gath
ering of French and Americans. His
address was finished with the follow
ing words:
“Homines, femmes et enfants de
France, n’oblez pas chaque membre de
la legion Americains, ici present, rem-
portera dux Etats’ Unis votre message
d’affection d’amite et d’admiration.
Je dois vous assurer que ces sentiments
sont mutuels. Nous hanonons vos
h’eros morts pour la Patrii; nous sym-
pathisons avec veuves et nos orpheliuo
et nous tendons la main en bon came-
rades a’ vos mutiles en re-pe’tant que
nous vous ai’mons tons.”
Before leaving France the American
Legion chose as their mascot a blonde
girl seven years old (Americans prove
that gentlemen prefer blondes). They
had her dressed in white. Mr. Spafford
took the little girl in his arms, sat on
stage and sang in an amusing tone the
celebrated song, “Nous autres Ameri
cains.”
I’aris made great preparations to re
ceive the American Legion which held
its national meeting there in Septem
ber. General Pershing, Le Chef, was
to head the processions. The avenue
Des Champs-SIysees was decorated on
either side with cleverly arranged elec
tric lights and great garlands of flow
ers. Official delegations were stationed
at La Place de la Concorde. The mer
chants announced that their stores
would close during the parade-—also
that they would make special reduction
on their merchandise for members of
the legion as well as their wives. The
cabarets in Montmartre put on their
most attractive and alluring programs.
All in all, all of Paris tnrned out to
give most cordial greetings to the
American Legion.

DID THE CATS GET YOU?
“Did you ever hear of the Wild Cats
and the Bear Cats?”
“I declare some of them look like
Wild Cats and Bear Cats when they
approach you and ask you if you will
subscribe.”
Have you seen the cute little cats in
Miss Sumner’s room?”
“I am afraid they will slide down
the pole, aren’t you?”
“There comes one of them now. Let’s
go into this room.”
This isn’t a fight but only the enthu
siastic work of the campaigners in get
ting subscriptions for the junior class.

OUR CAFETERIA
The students of Greensboro High
are lucky in having such a cafeteria.
Mrs. Comer says that the cafeteria is
far better this year than ever before,
and that she is greatly pleased with
the ararngements.
There are three 50-minute periods to
accommodate the five hundred students
that eat lunch at the cafeteria each
day. There are an average of one hun
dred and fifty pupils each period. “The
food is served, dishes washed, and cafe
teria prepared for the next period in
these fifty minutes. With the aid of
the many student that work in the
cafeteria, this is made possible,” says
Mrs. Comer.
Mrs. Comer also stated that she is
very much pleased with the behavior
of the students while at lunch. Every
one has learned to wait in line for his
turn to be served. Everyone that eats
at the cafeteria expressed himself as
being pleased with the food served.
ZIEGFELD—VIA G. H. S.
Come one! Come all! The best revue
of the year, “Purple and Gold of 1928”
•—supervised by the music department.
H. G. Miller is the official director, and
J. H. Johnson is assistant director.
This revue will be conducted and
carried out precisely as the big, north
ern musical revuse—it’s sure to be the
“knock-out” of the season. Dancing
girls, solo dancers, black-faced comedi
ans, skits, burlesques, individual solos,
pantomimes, and a “red hot” jazz orch
estra, with comedy and romance
throughout the entire show.
This peppy bunch is sure to provide
us with plenty of entertainment. The
show is already making steady prog
ress. The girls’ chorus is being
“whipped, into shape” with much speed.
“Pep and Go” is their slogan. Several
comedian parts have been decided upon
already.
The revue will probably be given
about two weeks after Christmas.
Save your “gum” money, gai
let’s see what they have for us!
