GEORGE DASCH CONDUCTS
Orchestra Has Personnel of 25—Miss
Margaret Sweeney, Harpist, Miss
Lillian Poemish, Clarinetist
More than 2,000 persons—most of
them school children—attended the
afternoon performance of the Little
Symphony Orchestra of Chicago on
Monday, March 19. Altogether, 5,000
heard the orchestra in its two concerts
at the N. C. C. auditorium.
The recital Monday night was the
last of four offerings of the season
sponsored by the Greensboro Civic
Music Association. The rendition of
classical numbers by Chicago’s Sym
phony Orchestra came as a culmination
for the series which the organization
has made possible for its membership.
George Dasch
George Dasch, conductor of the Little
Symphony Orchestra of Chicago, is one
of the most interesting artistic per
sonalities in Chicago’s busy musical
life. The orchestra has a personnel of
25 musicians, including two women,
Miss Margaret Sweeny, harpist, and
Miss Lillian Poenish, clarinettist. 'Fhe
organization is managed by Karl
Schulte, one of its founders.
The progi’am of the children’s con
cert included instructional and enter
taining numbers, in connection with
several of which were explanations by
the conductor that added to the appre
ciation of the juvenile crowd. Dance
forms, the use of the wood-wind in
struments, descriptive numbers and ex
planations of the themes were among
the entertaining events of the after
noon.
First Division
Three numbers of the ballet suite
from “Cephale et Procris,” Tambourin,
Menuetto, and Gigue, two selections
from I-Iaydn’s “Symphony, G Major,”
and three movements from Lalo’s
“Symphonic Espagnole, Opus 21,”
formed the first division of the highly
classical performance.
For the last and more varied section
of the regular program the orchestra
rendered several highly pleasing selec
tions as received by the appreciative
audience. “Scene Religieuse,” from the
suite “Les Erinnyes,” by Massenet,
with the violoncello obligato in Mas
senet’s composition played by Theodore
du Moulin, called for the third encore
of the evening and got a repetition of
the performance by the artist.
The audience gave enthusiastic recep-
tioTi to all the excellent music. Espe
cially did it give whole-hearted response
to the work of that magician of the
violin, Herman Felber.
1. What term describes the shape^of
the earth?
A. The earth is slightly flattened at
the North and South Poles. The tech
nical name is “oblate spheroid.”
2. Doe airplanes frighten birds?
xV. Many migratory birds have
learned to use airplanes as a means of
transportation. It seems that airplanes
and birds will be friends,
3. Is there any cure for baldness?
A. It has been discovered that, by
the use of the ultra-violent rays, new
hair may be grown on slick heads.
4. Can life exist upon the planet
Mercury ?
A. Investigations prove that one-
half of Mercury is swept by violent
windstorms of frightful heat, while the
other half is in perpetual cold and
darkness.
5. What was the world’s greatest
volcanic eruption?
xV. The eruption of the volcano of
Krakatos, about 45 years ago. It blew
to bits the island of Krakatoa; ships
1,000 miles at sea were thickly covered
with volcanic powder, and volcanic ash
was deposited more than one foot
thick as far as 2,000 miles from the
explostion. Lava from the eruption
rose around 20 miles in the air, and
the sound wave created by the explo
sion traveled three times around the
world, being registered on all scientific
instinuneuts. A volume of rock, equal
to eight times all the buildings in New
York City, was hurled into the air, and
for three years after the eruption the
high levels of the world’s atmosphere
were so thick with fine, volcanic dust
that rings appeared around the sun,
and unusual weather phenomena be
came the universal rule.
0. What are the strongest rays of
light thus far discovered?
xV. A force, 10,000,000 times stronger
than light, has been discovered. “Cos
mic rays” are not of earthly origin,
nor do they come from our atmosphere,
the sun, the stars, or the Milky Way,
but from beyond the Milky Way. |
7. From whence do the brilliant
colors of nature’s animals come?
A. The flowers, birds, fish, etc., get
their gorgeous hues from the soil,
seeds, and plants, respectively. Science
has not been able to analyze, chemi
cally, nature’s almost colorless foods.

“Banking in the schools is a great
opportunity,” says Mr. Phillips, “and
every one should take advantage of it.”
This “National Service” is run in
connection with some bank in every
town. The x\.merican Exchange Na
tional Bank has charge of it in
Greensboro. They take all the trouble
and details to teach young people to
save. The money can be withdrawn
for camp tuition or any special occasion
whenever the contributor wishes.
x\ recent report from Winston-Salem
schools signified that Greensboro High
School was below the average.
It would be better for 50 per cent of
the people to save a small amount than
for 10 per cent of the people to save a
large amount.
At least one room at G. H. S. is
enthusiastic about banking. Last week
iMiss Lily Walker’s room deposited over
a hundred dollars. This is the most
ever deposited at G. H. S., and the
other rooms should take heed and fol
low their example.
Greensboro High School shouldn’t
and will not be at the bottom of the
list again 1
Is It True.?
“Isn’t it provoking? Ilere I am and
here I have been for the last six
months untouched, unused, unthought
of! I think it is terrible to be so nice
and new and clean and just because of
my name and lack of illustrations to
be deserted.”
“Yes, it is a terrible life we lead. At
first we are allowed to be so spotless
and clean, but as soon as we pass into
the hands of those whom we serve
our lives become blotted and marked!
Only yesterday I was carried home by
some inconsiderate brat and of course
he left me where the baby could get
hold of me. The baby began by tear
ing out my frontispiece, and wlien he
finished I was lacking several
Shakespeare’s works of art, which I de
light in dispalying.”
“I really don’t know what to fiiink
of this younger generation. They
never think of all the hard work my
author did in making me, and just be
cause I don’t begin interestingly thev]
throw me aside without even glancing
at the interesting material I contain
after my introductory is completed.”
Such was the conversation between
“.Johnny Mathematics” and “Bill Biol
ogy” that I chanced to overhear as I
searched through the shelves of the
library for a book. Honest, though, I
am sure we should not handle our
books so roughly or desert those that
do not strike the eye as particularly
interesting. Give all the books in our
school library a try because they are
good or they would not have been

STATE LATIN CONTEST
In the annual state Latin contest
Ella Mae Barbour, Eugenia Isler, and
Edwina Jones were the three entrants
from the Greensboro High School.
Friday, March 2, a group of Latin
students assembled in Miss Evelyn
Martin’s room. They were given a list
of printed questions and, after answer
ing them, handed them in. Miss Sarah
Lesley chose the three best papers,
which were the ones of Ella Mae Bar-
hour, Eugenia Isler, and Edwina Jones.
These papers were sent to Raleigln
The results have not yet been learned.
Last year, Mary Elizabeth King,,
now a student of Randolph-Macon Col
lege, won honorable mention.
It is hoped that one of the three
papers sent from Greensboro High will
win similar, if not greater, honors.
SOLID DISCOMFORT
“Say, have you got a clothespiiT?”
“If I had one I would be using it my
self.”
“Gee, aren’t they hideous? I just
know I will not be able to eat any
thing for a week.”
“Say, Miss Mercer, I just can’t cut
♦V-
up this old thing.’
This is what occurred when Miss
Mercer’s classes had to dissect bull-

-for silver pencils
-for fountain pens
-for gifts of silver or of
gold
-for watch repairing

Freshman Wins Contest
Marjorie Boone, of semester I, won
in a contest in J. H. Johnson’s Eng
lish classes. During good English week,
Mr. Johnson appointed a numher of
detectives who were to record all
grammatiual errors heard, and who
made them. Competition was keen, but
Marjorie seemed more alert to the mis
takes. At the end of the week she had
surpassed the others in diligence and
was given a trip to the Carolina Thea
ter.
