FROSH DEBATERS
HEAR TALK TUES.
Louis Brooks Talks on Parlia
mentary Law at Weekly
Meeting, Dec. 6
STRESSES ORDER IN CLUB
Louis Brooks, a member of the Senior
Debating Club, talked to the freshman
debaters Tuesday, December 6th, at
their weekly meeting. “Parliamentary
Law According to Rogers” was the
title he chose as the subject of his talk.
According to Mr. Brooks, the laws that
are used in all sessions of Congress
should be followed in the Freshman
Club in addressing the speaker and in
other proceedings. “Rogers’ Rules of
Order,” is generally considered the
best authority on all questions of eti
quette in Congress. This is what the
Freshman Debaters should use. The
rest of the period was spent in asking
questions on “Parliamary Law.” Sev
eral members of the club expressed the
opinion that they knew more essen
tials of order now than they thought
ever existed in any book. The meet
ing was then adjourned until the fol
lowing Tuesday.

Have Regular Periods, Says
Miss Wheeler

The Class Has Supervised “Come Out

vise Rostard’s “Romance”
MISS JESSIE LAIRD WILL
SPEAK TO FRENCH CLUB
Theme to Be “Festivals of the French
People at Christmas and Their
Observance of These”
MR. E. PERISHO TALKS
TO SCIENCE STUDENTS
Elwood Perisho, head of the Exten
sion Department at Guilford College,
spoke to the chapel students, Wednes
day, December 14. All pupils inter
ested in science, chemistry, and physics
were present. Mr. Perisho’s topic was
“The Origin of the Earth.”
The seventh period was shortened
ten minutes in order that the eighth
period might be an hour. The Rines
Brothers were present and gave a
taste of the program that they, are
going to present in chapel Tuesday,
December 20.
Dr. Perisho discussed and explained
the three best known scientific con
ceptions of the origin of the earth,
the nebulae hypothesis, the meteoric
hypothesis, and the Chambetlain
Plantesimal hypothesis.
Miss Jessie C. Laird will speak to
the members of the French Club and
other French students December 20.
She is the French instructor at N. C.
C. W.
Miss Laird will speak on the festi
vals of the French people at Christ
mas time, and how they observe them.
She is a native of France and re
turns to her home every summer. The
members of the French club consider
it a great privilege and honor to have
Miss Laird to lecture for them and
the other students.
She has attended the University of
Michigan, where she received her
M. X. degree. She also attended the
University of Portiers, Alliance Fran-
caise in Paris, the Umversity of Mar
burg and Mount Holyoke, where she
received her A. B. degree.
HOT DOGS HOT
“Fire ! Fire ! Fire !”
“Let me out of here.”
“Get some water.”
“Gee! I’m burning up.”
Such were the exclamations heard
last Friday night at the circus. The
hot dogs were selling fine at one of the
stands when the oil stoye that had
been cooking thfe dogs to such a deli
cious perfection got out of control
when the increased demand caused the
cooks to put on a bigger fiame. Deco
rations on the stands caught on fire and
quite an uproar was caused until some
one had presence of mind to put it out
with a fire extinguisher.
“The class on makeup has been mak
ing rapid progress,” stated Miss
Wheeler, faculty adviser. “The class
has learned the difference between wet
and dry makeup; between character
and straight makeup. They are now
specializing on age lines and mous
taches.
“The makeup class meets once a
week, every Wednesday at chapel
period. No credit is given, membership
is wholly voluntary, since this is a
branch of the dramatic club. Besides
makeup, the class studies costume de
signing and is in charge of the costum
ing, stage setting and makeup of the
plays which the dramatic club produces.
So far they have supervised ‘Come
Out of the Kitchen,’ by Thomas, and
are working oil costumes for Rostand’s
‘Romancers,’ to be given in chapel,”
she continued.
“Sometime in the future we hope to
have a regular course in designing,
makeup and stage setting, with regu
lar periods and trained teachers, and
of course, in such a case, credit will
be given.”
When the makeup class of dramatics
is added to the courses at Greensboro
High there will be two divisions, the
presentations of plays and those inter
ested in stage craft. “Since this volun-
tarj- class has been organized they have
shown great improvement. We are yet
in infancy but in time I believe Greens
boro High will add this to the many
courses that it already offers,” de
clared Miss Wheeler.

GREENSBORO HI-Y CLUBS
COMBINE IN ONE GROUP
Woodrow Wilson, Robert E. Lee, and
Junior Hi-Y Club at G. H. S. and
Pomona Will Combine
MEMBERS EXPECT BETTER SPIRIT
The Hi Y Clubs of Greensboro have
combined into one Hi Y that embraces
the former four distictive clubs. There
were three clubs at G.H.S., the Wood-
row Wilson club, the Robert E. Lee, the
Junior Hi Y and one other at Pomona.
The clubs meet at the local Y. M.
C. A. every Tuesday night of the school
year. They had been meeting in sep
arate groups, but now since they have
combined they meet in one large group.
Norman York, a G. H. S. student,
has been elected president of the entire
group. Romeo Le Porte is vice-presi
dent while Cecil Bishop is secretary
and Clarence Cone treasurer. The re
organization of the club will cause a
better spirit of unity to be enjoyed and
more of the good work.
The Rines Brothers, evangelistic
workers of New York state, are mak
ing a tour of the southland. While on
this visit they are stopping in Greens
boro. They have been here for the
past two weeks. Their work is not
alone in the churches but visits to
practically all the city schools have
been made. Caldwell, Aycock, and
Pomona have already heard these well-
known workers.
Tuesday afternoon, December 20, the
brothers will give a program at G.
H. S. They both sing, and several
songs are listed on their program. Car
toon work will illustrate a short talk.
Through the sketch-work the talk will
be vividly painted.
Any students wishing to hear the
program will be allowed to attend. An
admission of fifteen cents will be
charged per student. This fee is
charged in order that the trip of these
brothers may be continued through
out the south.
The program will have some Chirst-
inas-tide message, while it will be
mostly humorous and pleasing to the
students.
Wednesday, December 14, the Rines
Brothers gave just a taste of what the
program for Tuesdjay will be like.
Songs and some sketch work seem to
have worked up interest and a number
of students are to attend the program
next week.
