Page Four HIGH LIFE April 15, 1932 MISS DOBSON GIVES CAFETERIA REPORTS Says Over Eight Hundred Pu pils Buy Lunches Each Day-; • Ice Cream and Milk Lead. HELP IS APPRECIATED Miss Sara Dobson, city school cafe teria supervisor, says tliat the cafeteria has been making expenses and a small profit so far this year. Of the l,2r.O students of the senior high school between ToO and 800 stu dents eat In the cafeteria each day. From 200 to 250 eat at the first period, 100 to 100 at the second, and 300 to 400 at the third. Many students bring their lunch and eat in the cafeteria, and others bring part of their lunch and buy part of it. It is interesting to note that the cafe teria serves 08 gallons of soup, 500 to 000 servings of ice cream and 500 to COO servings of milk and sandwich every day. Ice cream and milk are the “best sellers." Vegetables and salads combined compare favorably with the selling of milk and ice cream. The cafeteria sells ten cases more of milk per day than formerly. The stu dents have co-operated in not breaking the milk bottles, and Miss Dobson wishes to thank them, but there are not as many bottles returned as there should be. Miss Dobson varies the menu as much as possible, and she tries to intro duce something new each week. Slie promises to have chocolate eclairs more often in the future. I’ractlcally every thing on the menu is cooked in the cafe teria and very few canned vegetables are served. There are 18 school boys and girls working in the cafeteria and there are six colored helpers. Sailing I sailing! this is the feature of Sea Scouting, and boy is this fun? Leaving early some Saturday morn ing five or ten boys from the Greens boro Sea Scout ship go on a cruise. They .•e a few hours later at High Kock, take the sails, food, and a sea bag aboard the boat. After rigging the boat, the actual cruise begins. The boat, a whole boat, donated by the IT. S. Navy, is twenty-four feet long having a jib, a foresail, and a main sail. a nice breeze is blowing they sail out of the harbor; but if not, they have 5w out. After getting on the body of the lake if. the wind is up, the fun begins. At first the boys sail in the direction of the wind probably making eight or ten knots which on water seems almost like flying. Spray coming over the bow and white caps forming adds to the fun and enjoyment. After going a reasonable distance down the lake, they tack against the wind going back up the lake. Tacking going diagonally across the lake from one side to the other. This is where it takes skill to sail. Sometimes CLUB MEMBERS TALK TO SENIOR HIGH GIRLS Girl Reserves Sponsor Series of Lec- turea by Altrusa Women; Discuss Vocational Work. The series of vocational talks, spon sored by the Altrusa Club of Greens boro and the Girl Reserves, included as nearly as possible every proposed voca tion of the girls of Senior high, planning the list of speakers Mrs. Chase Going Woodhouse used in the main trusa members. The girls signed up for the vocation they wish to enter, and from this Mrs. Woodhouse planned the talks. Mary Leigh Scales was student chairman of the programs. The list of speakers and their sub jects are as follows: commercial art. Miss Hilda Ogburn; physical education teaching, Miss Christine White, who eonneetetd with the physical education department of N. C. C. W,; department store ^York, Miss Maude Lee, personnel director of Meyer’s department store nursing and medicine. Miss Grace Han son, superintendent of nurses at Stern- berger hospital; aviation.

Latham Co., on commercial and secretarial work; Miss Nancy Weather- ell, of the Pine Arts Studio, on dancing and dramatics; and Mrs. Frances Kirby, head of Meyer’s beauty shoppe, on beau- ,ty parlor work. TOO BAD! 'TWAS JUST A DREAM We learned from a reliable source that our famous trombone player, Bob by Simmons, still has some hope of going to heaven. W’e have our opinion on the fact that Bobby has been dream ing about the Gabriel Symphonic Band. One night it seems that “Trombone Bobby" went to heaven (believe it or not). On arriving, he immediately found where Gabriel was having a re hearsal of his famous Symphonic Band. The band made Bobby’s eyes open with wonder, and his knees felt strangely weak. For here on Gabriel’s right were at least 40 trumpets, and on his left were about 120 clarinets, and all the rest of the instruments wore in propor tion. There, were at least 1,000 pieces in Gabriel’s Band. Then Bobby scraped up his nerve and up to Gabriel marched he. “Mr. Gabriel,” brave Bobby said, “I’d like to try out for your band.” “Well, son, I guess you might as well. What instrument do you play?" “A trombone, sir,” said the excited Bobby. “0. K.," said Gabriel, “try reading the new music,” So Bobby took up his mighty trom bone and played the selections with the same old style that made G. 11. S. hold its ears. Gabriel stood in awe. “That’s fine” the holy educator said, “take your seat behind the baritones.” The elated Bobby strode off to his long-hoped-for place in the famous band. But to his sorrow he could not find any more trombone players. “0, Mr. Gabriel,” cried the frightened Bobby, 'I can’t find the trombone sec tion.” “That’s all right, son,” Gabriel calmly returned, “sit down where you are. After hearing you play I’ve decided not to use any trombones but you.” Then Bobby awoke. Senior Sea Scouts Go to High Rock a squall will strike the scouts unawares and sometimes it almost turns the boat over. This happened once and although the boat turned upside down in the water, only one boy got wet. The boys usually eat and sleep on the boat, sail Sunday and return home that night. It usually rains at least bnce on a cruise, but the scouts soon get used to that. This is just one of the week-end cruises that they take about twice a month. In the summer there is always a long cruise on which nearly every Greensboro Sea Scout goes. Summer be fore last the Sea Scouts took a cruise on the E. L. Marin schooner on the Chesapeake Bay. Last summer they took, a week’s cruise on High Rock, but this summer they expect to take a cruise on some Naval Reserve vessel at Nor folk, maybe to the West Indies on which there wilL probably be more fun than they have ever had before. The Sea Scouts of America is a sub sidiary of the Boy Scouts of America. Sea Scouting appeals to the older boy. It is necessary that the boy be fifteen years of age and a First Class scout to |Bt-i A number of Senior high graduates were seen enjoying themselves on the campus and in the halls during the spring holidays. Among these were: Ed Garrett, Rigdon Dees, Foy Gaskins. Harold Draper, Steve and Dick Doug las, Jimmie Matthews, Bobby Moore, David Morrah, Edwin Holt, Bill Scott, Frank Abernathy, and Jack Klcemier, Lewis Brooks is well again; he’s even put aside the crutches—a slight limp only tells of his recent broken leg. J. D. McNairy has been electetd to the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity, the na tional scholastic fraternity. A grade of 90 must be made for a student to receive a Phi Beta Kappa key. Margaret Kernodte is reaping her re ward for her diligent work on High Life during her years at senior high. She was recently chosen to serve on the staff of the Carolinian, the N. C. C. W. newspaper. Alene Weatherly, while on a return visit to G. II. 8,, stopped before Mr. Hamilton's study hall door, and was overheard saying, “There’s that cute new teacher! Isn’t he darling?” Few of the present students of senior high remember Bernard Ahman. He is new editor of the Wataugan, a State college humor magazine. Remember, Bernard, a laugh a day keeps the doc tor away. Keep ’em laughing! Annette Donovant was elected presi dent of the rising senior class at Mere dith college. Isaac Gregory, a freshman at the Uni versity, has made all A’s since his en trance September, 1931. Walter King is confined to the Duke hospital with appendicitis. Miriam Block a student at N. C. C., is spending her spring holidays at Yale university with Mary Jane Wharton. SECRET ORGANIZATION OPERATING AT G. H. S. la Composed of Forty-five Members Consisting of Both Faculty and Students. One of the most effective undertak ings of the student council of Senior high school this year is the organiza tion of the secret service. This organi zation, similar to others of the same name, pperates in secret and the names of its members are withheld. The se cret service is composed of 4.5 mem bers, consisting of both students and faculty. The council and the faculty are much pleased with the work of the organi zation. Through it they have been able to check up on petty details which oth erwise would be overlooked. It is some thing that the school has been needing for years, and the present student coun cil sliould be commended for having started such an organization, which means service to Senior high, Conceit Conceit is that quality which every man will deny having and every man has. You’re certainly conceited if you deny being conceited. If you admit you’re conceited, you’re more conceited, for you think you’re doing a finer thing than someone else in admitting your conceit, thus swelling your conceit be cause of your conceit in admitting aforementioned conceit. Therefore, the first and most obvious conclusion can do nothing but admit that we are all conceited. Some peo ple choose to apply the epithet of “self- confidence” to our subject, but conceit is assuredly conceit. All hail the con ceited snob! The greatest men of all times have been conceited! Napoleon, Caesar, Browning, or Shelley all lifted their noses on occasion. Therefore, comrades, develop the cold sneer and light, contemptuous laugh. The world was made for you and me. We are lords of the universe. A LITTLE WARBLER IS DEAD Poor little warbler, potential mother. Tliou didst brave all the danger of storm and sea, winging the way surely over hundreds of miles of land and sea, that thou mightest build thy nest and rear thy brood among us, only to be shot dead by some vandal of a boy who thought it was sport to kill thee. Who knows by how many warblers dhe world is poorer because of thy death? Health Thoughts Here are some health thoughts! 1. Keeping your own body clean helps prevent the spread of germs and disease. 2. Cleanliness is closely related to good citizenship and godliness. 3. Take the time and energy to stop and pick up any paper you might chance to be near. 4. Desks, pencil-sharpeners, books, erasers, chalk—all are handled by the fourteen hundred students who go and out the classrooms daily. Imagine the germs left on each of these by dirty hands 5. At a doctor’s laboratory in Vir ginia, the doctor proclaimed that 75 per cent of all children’s diseases could have been avoided if the parents had taught the children the important rules of sanitation. 6. People who have clean bodies also have clean minds; they think clean thoughts—their average in scholarship as a rule is highest. 7. As long as there is soap and water there can be no excuse for unclean hands. 8. Create good health habits—eat the proper food, wear correct clothes, and take proper care of your skin. 9. Make hygiene a habit, and you will have a clean city and healthy citizens. 10. How do you come to school? Do you wear makeup like a clown? heels like telephone poles? dirty face and hands? If you do you should stay at home until you learn bettter 11. A schoolgirl should wear oxfords, or medium heels, not spikes! A plain washable dress, not too much make-up and clean face, hands, neek, and nails, and have her hair combed. 12. A schoolboy should wear a clean shirt, a tie; and be sure to polish those shoes; wear clean socks. Cleanliness is the first rule in health! FORMER STUDENT WINS HIGH HONOR Frances Crawford, former Greensboro high student, who moved to Washington, D. C. in 1928, graduated from Washing ton Central high at the past midterm. She received the highest scholarship award of any one in her class. Dr. II A. Smith, principal, announced her grades as being 100 per cent E and A in all subject quizzes. Starting her high school career at G. H. S. in the freshman class of ’27-! Frances moved in the summer to Wash ington with her parents. She entered Central high school there, which much larger school than Greensboro high. In 1931 she won honor among her schoolmates by being elected into the National Honor Society correspond ing to Torchlight. Graduating with the 1932 mid-term class she gained the high est scholarship award of the group. WHAT CONSTITUTES A GOOD HIGH SCHOOL? Sopliomore:—A specimen of the human race attending senior high school. The average sophomore is very small, “runty” in. fact, and has a very limited knowledge of high school etiquette, or of anything else. Junior;—An advanced sophomore (q V,), usually larger and more dignified. This representative of high school life may now look upon the “runty” sopho mores with scorn, and refuse to eonde scend to notice the poor creature. Senior:—One of a group of high school students who have attained the highest distinction that high school has to confer upon a student. This group disdains all other students, and even the members of the faculty. April Fool Birthdays April fool children. No, that doesn’t mean that certain people have been “acting up” especially, but that they have merely been hav ing birthdays again. Some of the possessors of April fool birthdays arc: Pauline Foy, Baxter Scott, Ruth Harwell, Helen Sutton, and Billy Womble. Now you may judge for yourself just how well these individuals live up to their heritage. LITERATURELEAGUE WILL HAVE CONCERT Work Sent in Last Year Wins Recognition by Secretary of League Contest.

H. S. Ill a letter from Charles C. Scheck, secretary of the league, the following statement was made about the work sent in to the league last year from Greensboro: “It is above most of the work sent. We hope you will send more this year;” and again, “Please ac cept and convey to your teachers and students our expression of appreciation for your co-operation and for the fine specimens of creative literature which your school sent to the League last year.” The Creative Literature League is a practically new organization in the cre ative education fields, last year being its first. At the meeting of the World Federation of Education Associations in Denver last July, “great interest was expressed and the plan was highly en dorsed as being in keeping with the gen eral movement in Creative Education.” This year teachers and principals are again endorsing this program by send ing ill requests for the required en trance blanks. The aim of the League for this year is to study the literary productions of children of 58 countries from the ages of nine to IG years of age. The produc tions will be secured as regular English requirements, or as special work, and must be original and be donated to the League for publication if desirable. All award of recognition will be given to each' child having his selected as the best in his grade. An additional award will be given those getting add’s pub lished.

LIBRARIAN ARRANGES CONTEST FOR PUPILS Because of the depression and lack of funds, no new books, maga zines or pictures have been bought for the library this year. The li brary is in need of new materials. Realizing this need, Miss Wall has arranged a contest which all may enter. Students have at home old magazines and books with which they have finished and would like to share with others. Miss Wall is offering a worth while prize to the person who brings to the li brary, not the most, but the best materia] that will help to make the library a better place. This ma terial may consist of good books, old magazines from which articles and pictures may be cut, or any thing else that in the pupil’s opin ion will add to the library. The contest opens Monday, May 18th, and all material must be in by 3:30 Friday, the 22nd. Mathematics underlies present-day civilization in much the same far-reach ing manner that sunshine underlines all forms of life, and we unconsciously share the benefits conferred by the mathematical achievements of the race just as we unconsciously enjoy the bless ings of the sunshine.

When a High Life reporter inter viewed Laurant, the magician, he found instead of a man of mystery, a man with a ready wit, and a pleasing personality. Mr. Laurant could not recall his first desire to become a magician, although he says he has 'performed tricks since childhood Laurant became interested in the pro fession when just a young man, and after a few amateur performances, de cided to devote his life to the art of magic. After a few years of traveling and giving performances, he joined the Red Path Chautauqua, then later he went abroad. “On my trips through India,” Laurant said, “I gained valuable ma terial which has been a great asset to my profession.” When asked about the late Houdini, Mr. Laurant told the reporter that he was very well acquainted with him, and that no person, he thought, would ever equal his genius. “No one konws, and no one will i know the secret of Iloudini’s marvelous feats,” he said. When the reporter asked Laurant to explain some of his tricks, he was told to wait until the performance and find out for himself. The reporter did as he was told, but he is still wondering.

STATE MATH CONTEST TO BE HELD APRIL 22 Sponsored by University of N. C.; Will Include Test on Algebra, Arithme tic, and Plane Geometry. The annual high school mathematics contest, sponsored by the University of North Carolina will be held through out the state April 22. Students who may take part in the contest are lim- ied to members of the sophomore, jun ior, and senior classes. The scope of the contest will include algebra, arith metic, and plane geometry. The individual school will select the best paper submitted by students of that school and send it to the secretary of the mathematics committee at the University of Nortli Carolina at Chapel Hill by April 22, 1932. There will be only one paper sent from each school. The papers will be graded by mem bers of the faculty of the University, and the winner of the contest will be announced folowing the grading of the papers. Honorable mention will be given students whoso papers are judged next best. Sick Slips Discontinued The students of Senior high school can no longer procure sick slips to leave school. The privilege of leaving school has been abused, and C. W Phil lips, principal, says there wilt be no more sick slips printed. Central junior high school, with an enrollment of over 1,300, has only one-fourth as many sick slips as the Senior high with an en rollment of 1,296. Central junior high had only 45 sick slips; Senior high had 201. Of the 201 slips issued, 118 were given to boys, one-half of which were given to a very few. This comparison would indicate that Central junior high school students are more capable of taking care of themselves than Sen ior high grown-ups. SASLOW’S, Inc. 214 S. E;m St. : Special Rates to H.
