From State Teachers’ Meeting
The monthly teachers’ meeting of
Greensboro High School was held
Thursday, March 29, in room 106. The
most important topic discussed was the
shifting in the study periods. It was
decided to try a new plan of not having
library slips to be signed.
AVe trust our boys and girls, C. AV.
Phillips said. This plan affects only
the study periods 1, 2, 3, 7. The two
causes of this change are to give the' riOQT* QI7iVI17QTI7I?

slips.
The third week in April has been
designated as “Clean Up” week in
G. IT. S.
The Chamber of Commerce has
offered prizes at the schools for
the best posters advertising this
clean up campaign. The first prize
is a $3 book, and the second prize
a $2 book. These books are to be
presented to the school library by
the grade in which the winning
poster is made.
It was impossible to give the
making of these posters to all the
classes above the third grades, be
cause of other art projects which
were already under way in some of
the classes.
The posters must be finished,
plainly marked with the 'child’s
name and the name of the school
and the best three sent to the
superintendent’s office not later
than April 14.

bill would stabilize the present agri

bridge over the fat years with the lean

“I do not believe that teachers
should have pets, says Edgar Allred,
new instructor at G. H. S. “I haven’t
any pets myself, and I try to treat
every one alike.”
If any of Mr. Allred’s pupils do
anything that he does not approve of,
he doesn’t get angry with them, but
he tries to correct them, and goes
ahead as if nothing had happened.
Mr. Allred was born in Greensboro,
N. C. He was educated at Guilford
College. He teaches science, having
two chemistry and two physics classes.
He has taught school four years, three
and a half years -at Pomona, and a
half year at G. LI. S.
He says that his hobby for indoors
is teaching science, but for outdoors
tennis and basketball.
