Some of the teachers of Greensboro
High have revealed their plans for the
summer vacation months. A reporter
has been able to secure the confidence
of most of the teachers and they are
v'illiug to enlighten the student body
along this line. Evidently some have
uot had enough school during the pas
nine months and so they plan to spend
the summer months in study.
Five members of the G. PI. S. facul
ty will do graduate work at Columbia
P'lnversity. Miss lone Grogan is ex-
pecting to complete the requirements
for an M.A. degree. Mark Lambeth
and J. A. Farthing will take a six
weeks’ course at the university. Miss
Estelle Mitchell will study French ;i
the Columbia summer school. A. P.
Routh will spend the first part of the
summer in Cuba and the latter part in
New York at Columbia University.
Other teachers intend to study at
various colleges. Miss Rena Cole will
study at the University of Georgia and
Miss Virginia Flollingsworth at Emory
University.
J. H. Johnson will start work on an
M.E. degree at U. N. C. While at
Carolina he will specialize in dramatic
work. The latter part of the season
he plans to spend seeing plays in New
York.
Several teachers plan to teach in
summer schools. Miss Margaret Brid-
gers will be a member of the faculty
of Tarboro High, and Edgar Allred
will be at the N. C. C. summer school.
Greensboro Pligh has a number of
teachers who are as eager as students
for this vacation period to begin. This
Is evidenced by their plans. Miss Mary
Morrow seems very anxious to become
better acquainted with the “handsome
Indian braves.” She will spend the
entire summer at her mountain cabin
in Smoky Mount, N. C. The site is
adjoining the National Indian reserva
tion by the Acara Lufty river. Misses
Mary Blackmon and Lily Walker will
not divulge all the secrets of when and
why they contemplate a trip to New
York.
Three teachers believe a rest is
necessary after the nine months at
G. FI. S. Miss Sarah Lesley will
spend her time at her home in Lake
Junaluska. Miss Amy Caldwell will
be at home in Wytheville, Va. Miss
Mary Wheeler will rest at her home
in Mayfield, Ga.
Miss Fannie Starr Mitchell plans a
summer of varied activities. After
work at Columbia, she will spend the
remainder of the summer at Wrights-
ville Beach. Miss Laura Tillett will
.see Europe during her vacation, re
turning here in time for school.
Coaches Stanley Johnson and Homer
■Coletrane have signed up with the
Goldsboro baseball club of the Eastern
Uarolina league.
These are all the facts revealed to a
High Life reporter. The reporter says
there is a possibility that the others’
plans are not ready for publication.

50 scouts, which are divided into six
patrols with around eight or nine
scouts in each division.
The Woman’s Missionary Society of
the church and also the mothers of
the scouts, were invited to the tea.
Punch was served with sandwiches
and mints.- The church was decorated
with blue and gold crepe paper and
bluebirds. The bluebird is the emblem
of the troop; blue and gold are the
colors. There were 15 tables with
blue and gold crepe paper as a cover
with flowers in the middle of each
table.
A program wms given by the scouts

der 10 years of age, sang their smile
song and later on all the scouts sang
a farewell song to their visitors. After

the scout work during the past year.
There were also many pictures which
were made by the scouts, on exhibit.

BULOVA WRIST WATCH
TO BE GIVEN GRADUATES
Mr. Ned Cohen, at the Jewel Box,
has announced that he has installed a
large clock in his window with the
names of all the graduating seniors on
the minute spaces. The clock was
started Saturday, May 19. It is an
eight-day clock and it will run down
sometime on Saturday, May 26. When

minute hand will point to a boy s and
girl’s name. To these two will be
given a Bulova wrist watch.
Mr. Cohen says that the lucky boy

not have to buy anything. The clock
and prizes are on display in the win

Two seniors of G. H. S. graduating
class of spring, ’28, have recently dis
tinguished themselves in the scout
field of activities.
Robert Dick Douglas, Eagle scout
with gold palms, has been called to
New York by telegram from Chief
Scout Executive James E. West.
Dick, along with six other boys scouts,
will be personalljr examined by a com
mittee composed of George Palmer
Putnam, Col. Roosevelt and Mr. James
West. Two of these will go on a trip
to Africa with the Martin Johnsons,
famous naturalists. The trip is spon
sored by Mr. Putnam.
Each of the councils of the United
States sent in their nominations and
two candidates are to he selected.
These candidates are to be judged on
their scout work, school work, physical
fitness and journalistic ability. Dick
has proven satisfactory in these and
Mr. James Geeslin, scout executive of
Greensboro council, says “Dick has a
good chance of being one of the two
to make the trip.”
Dick graduates this June and ex

also an eagle scout with gold palms,
who has been outstanding in his scout

thee.

foolish idea.
