May 10, at the Greensboro Country club. The party started at 5 and continued until 7 o’clock, with Bob England’s orchestra furnishing the music. The guests were met at the door by a receiving line composed of: Richard Robinson, Jack Nowlin, Josephine Lu cas, Geraldine Bonkemeyer, Hugh Scott, Ruth Jones, C. W. Phillips, Misses lone Grogan, Fannie Starr Mitchell, Evelyn Martin, ,Mary Morrow, and Nora Chaffin.

STUDENTS WILL KEEP PRESENT GOVERNMENT Vote for Old System at Chapel Exer cise—School Has Outgrown Original Constitution. CLASSROOM TEACHERS ELECT W. W. BLAIR At a meeting of the Greensboro Classroom Teachers W. W. Blair, phemistry teacher in the Greens boro high school, was elected presi dent to succeed Miss Mary Morrow. Other officers w’ere as follow’s; Miss Laura Tillett, vice-president; Miss Irene Boyles, secretary; and M. D. Teague, treasurer. This w’as the last meeting of the local association scheduled for this year and, therefore, was accom panied by many committee reports and short talks. The students of Greensboro high school vote(J to keep the old sys tem of government, which appears to need reniiedying. Probably the most outstanding change to be made is on the constitution. The school has out grown the present document. There are flaws and errors, and reference to groups that no longer exist. The preamble appears to be a mere introduction for the constitution and does not carry the true interpretation of the work attempted by the student council. Articles I, II, and III concern first and second semester students. These semesters no longer exist at Senior high school. Section one of article four is an error as it states that the council shall try disciplinary, cases in closed court. Such practice has never been used. Also section six of article three speaks of a cabinet which is not known to the school; this section should be removed. Possibly the only correct section is section three, article four which states that the council shall have charge of all elections in the school, using the Australian ballot. SID OGBURN CHOSEN PRESIDENT OF HI-Y Sidney Ogburn was elected president of the Hi-Y club at a meeting of the organization held at the Y on Monday night. The former president was Bill "S'enning.

The stu dent body accepted this song unani mously when it w’as voted upon. Alumnus Speaks Ed Kuykendall a senior at Davidson college represented another phase of the wished for traditions to have an alumnus speak who-has proved him self w’orthy of such recognition speak at every graduation exercise. Ivy Planting Becomes Custom The ivy planting ceremonial was in augurated in 1931 by the June graduat ing class w’ho made a request that it be carried on.
