I don’t see how I’m going to stand it four months.” “Yes, we’ve had quite a few sugges tions on a safe and correct solution to the problem.” “I heard that one very brilliant pupil suggested that we all take training, but that didn’t go so well with me.” “I know! This is just it. Let’s ask the Board of Education to install ele vators.

Major, from Kansas, who is to help in the instru mental work. He said he thought our orchestra was a fine group and showed much talent, a remark which seemed to please Mr. Grady Miller and Mr. Earl Slocum.

Resem ble Children of Mother Hubbard’s Shoe IN ATTIC AND BASEMENT The Journalism Classes Have a Room With the Rats in the Attic of the New Building With an increase of 245 students at G. H. S., the poor old building resem bles “Old Mother Hubbard” and her crowded shoe. There are rooms from basement to attic and there’s a rumor that they are considering having an open-air class on the roof. Barn B has opened up her basement for a classroom. Poor Barn A is rushed this semester. The girls in sewing class have to hur riedly put away and hide their un finished garments, as mixed classes are held there now. In the cafeteria there’ is a study period (very convenient for the hungry). So far we’ve had no reports on free lunches being handed to them. There are small classes in Office 10 and the old publication room. While the classes in these rooms are stifling for air, the former occupants are play ing tag with the rats in the attic. Gee, it’s great! The staff of High Life rattles around in its new headquarters. They complain that it’s too far off for visitors. And for hot-headed coaches, the school has a nice little frigerator (beg pardon, frigidaire) up three flights next to the publication room. Troop 5 News Various activities and projects have been planned by members of girl scout troop five. Several of these plans were discussed at a recent meeting of the court of honor and will be made known to the patrols Friday night, February 17. Since the troop rally in December,_ the scouts have been working on dif ferent phases of scoutcraft. At pres ent several are working on the jour nalism merit badge. In order to better meet the requirements for this work the entire troop visited the Daily News plant Friday night, February 3. C. W. PHILLIPS TO ACT AS COUNSELOR AT CAMP Sports and Scout Training Two Phases of the Work Being Done at Black Bear Camp OPENING SESSION BEGINS JUNE 28 ‘THE KING’S HENCHMAN’ AT NATIONAL THEATRE Cast Composed of Leading Metropolitan Stars—Sung in English and Carries 50-Piece Orchestra “The King’s Henchman,” the first successful American opera, was given at the National Theatre Thursday, February 16. It has proved a great success in New York. The cast in cludes some of the leading singers from the Metropolitan Opera House. Mr. Grady Miller, of G. H. S., has heard these artists in the Metropolitan, and says he can not speak too highly of them. Unlike most operas, this is sung in English. The music is written by Deems Taylor, an American composer, whom the next generation will class with Verdi and Pucini, and the words are by Edna St. Vincent Millay. “The King’s Henchman” carried a 50-piece orchestra, making it interest ing from an orchestral standpoint, as well as vocal. It is a modern opera, composed and produced within the last two years. This is the first “grand opera” to come to Greensbora and the greatest- thing in her musical historv. C. W. Phillips, principal of G. H. S., will be a counselor at Black Bear Camp during its eight weeks’ period this summer. Educators from Greens boro are the owners of this camp, which has been running now for the past two semesters. The board of trustees is made up entirely of school men and is for high school boys, though boys from eight years up are enrolled. Sports of every kind and scout train ing are some of the phases of camp work. The camp being situated on the shores of Lake James makes water activities one of the leading sports in camp life. The new camp catalogue has just been placed in the high school library. This catalogue will help the boys in plans for camp this summer. In celebrating All Saints’ Day the scouts of the Happee troop will have a Valentine party. The scoiit room will be decorated appropriately and costuming will further carry out the festive idea. Mrs. Frank Leak, Girl Scout Coihmissioner of Greensboro, will be the only honor guest. Games aiid various sports will add to the enjoyment of the festival. The ente*rtainment and refreshment com mittee will have several surprises for all the scouts and Brownies. Tonight Miss Kendrick, school nurse, will begin a first aid course. In this class will be 16 of the troop’s most advanced scouts. For the com ing Aour scout meetings Miss Kendrick will have this class for an hour in struction period. When the required work for the class has been passed the majority of the girls will be eligible for the First Aid merit badge, a re quirement for a Golden Eaglet. For the purpose of stimulating rivalry betw^een the patrols, a con test begins tonight. This will be based merely upon the amount of work passed during the next four weeks. Each question passed, whether in rank, test, or merit badge work, will count one point. At the end of the first week in March, the patrol with the largest sum total of points will accom pany Miss Marian Gilmer, captain, on an overnight hike. “We hope this will be an inducement to every scout and that the troop as a whole may profit by this project,” declared the captain. At the second meeting of the Stan dard Awmrds Committee a considerable amount of work will probably be passed off. From this troop several will complete requirements for second class ■work wdiile others will pass merit badge tests. DECLAMATION CONTEST CANDIDATE ANNOUNCED Representatives to Duke, Wake Forest, and Guilford College to Be Chosen; Miss V. Hollingsworth Sponsor Miss Virginia Hollingswmrth, Eng lish teacher and declamation sponsor, announced that in place of three repre sentatives to Duke, Wake Forest and Guilford in the declamation contest, only one has been chosen to go to Duke. “The other two will be chosen at a later date,” she stated, “to allow more candidates to compete.” At the present date only five persons have entered the contest. The reason for this is probably that examinations interfered. Miss Hollingsworth also announced that the declamation contest which was originally scheduled for Friday, February 10, was postponed until Mon day because of the inability of some of the contestants: to be present Friday. A THREAT (With apologies to W. S. Gilbert) As some day it may happen that a victim I may choose I’ve got a little list, I’ve got a little list. Of G. H. S.’s worst offenders we could well afford to lose. And who never would be missed. Who never would be missed. There’s the pestilential nuisances who always do what’s right. And the people in the lunch-room line who push you out of sight. All workmen who take joy in making temperature extreme. The person in the lunch-room who serves milk without the cream. All teachers who on spoiling tests with blood red ink insist. They never would be missed. No, they never would be missed. JUNIORS IN THE BARN “It’s a disgrace!” “An outrage!” This is the general opinion among all the juniors, especially those who suffered from this “disgraceful,” “out rageous” act. Reference is made to the placing of a whole complete room of juniors in Barn A. It is only nat ural that they should be indignant. Besides being made the laughing stock of the school, they have been separated from the rest of their classmates:- v 1 ,9 'I I ,• ; ■ .1 I .
