MISS L G. COLEMAN
SPEAKS AT CHAPEL
WEDNESDAY, JAN. 18
Girls of Greensboro High School
Hear Address on “Hidden
Talents”
STORY OF PRINCESS TOLD
Princess Had Seven Ladies-in-Waiting;
Health, Imagination, Courage, Medi
tation, Faith—Christ Is Prince
Miss Inabelle Coleman, former High
Life adviser, spoke to tire girls at
18 concerning tlieir
cliapel January
hidden talents. “I do not think God
would give a person a soul and no
talent. Every girl has a talent, but she
often fails to develop it,” declared the
speaker.
She told the story of a prince and a
princess. The princess’ kingdom is Life
—her palace the heart.
Seven being a lucky number. Princess
Talent has seven little ladies-in-waiting.
First among these is Lnselfishness.
“Self-forgetfulness causes Princess Tal
ent to thrive.” Then comes the Good
Fairy of Good Health. No one can
find talent and successfully use it with
out physical aid. Purity is next. She
wears a dress of true blue. “Imagina
tion is Puritj-’s constant companion.
Then comes Courage, the real symbol
of the princess.
Meditation is one of the most essen
tial ladies. She is beautiful and sweet,
and thinks of her God and her God-
given purpose. Faith is clad in rose
and gold. Miss Coleman said, “Through
Faith and Trust we find our talent.”
The Prince of the kingdom of our
hearts must be Christ. tVhen Christ
enters. Princess Talent has been found.
THEY’RE OVER!
“Gosh, that was the hardest exam,
ntnow 1 iluiikea' rtV
“MTiat exams have you had?”
“Math, English, history and science.
They were all hard and I flunked them
all—oh dear, and I worked so hard.”
“Flistory exam was easy, math was
hard—Latin was terrible—well, any
way, I am through with these terrible
exams.”
“Gee, I have one more, journalism
under Mrs. Coltrane. I know it’s hard.”
“Well, I must go home and study for
that horrible old exam tomorrow. I’ll
be glad when I am through!”
“Well, good-bye, hope you pass.”
These were some of the thoughts ex
pressed during examination week. We
hope they all did better than these
pupils did. We regret that a good
many flunk, though—We hope they will
do better next time.

AN ENDOWMENT
“Just look!”
“Fley, John! Do it again.”
“'What kind this time?”
Tight rope walking or trapeze per
forming did not bring forth these re
marks. Though no athletic equipment
on the immediate school grounds,
Greensboro High overnight had been
endoAved AAdth a Avell-equipped skating
rink. Don’t Avonder Avhy! It Avas all
an act of ProAddence. A glassy cam
pus, as slick as possible, Avas the treat
aAvaiting the students on Tuesday, Jan
uary 31. This Avas not a trap for the
freshmen, for all shared alike, in slid
ing, falls, and book slinging.

golden.” He must have meant silence.

leaA^es. Beau Geste has nothing on Bo
(Beau) Tany.

mosquitos, and flies. “The Three Mos
quitos” (Musketeers) by Alexander
