The theme of the second annual Guil ford County Older Boys’ conference held at the West Market Methodist church and at the Y. M. C. A. wms “What shall I do with my life?” The morning session began at the “Y” with the registration of the boys and a meeting of the Hi-Y leaders and discussion groups. At 10:00 o’clock C. W.

For rec reation the delegates either attended the Greensboro-Raleigh baseball game or the Carolina theater. The eveiring session was presided over by Rev. Frew. After a short busi ness meeting Dean Milner spoke on “What Shall I Do About It.” “Some Elements of a Successful Life,” was the topic used by Dr. Gilbert T. Roe, pro fessor of Christian Doctrine at Duke university. The following officers were elected: President, Edward Jeffress; vice-presi dent, A. C. Holt. Foust Announces County Averages Dr. Thomas R.

Boys Discover 18-Day Diet In a recent interview of the Boys’ home economics class a High Life re porter found put two very important facts. The reason the boys take home economics, and a dish which is very good but non-fattening. A. W. Greeson was the informer for the first fact. He said, “The women are getting lazy. I figure if I ask one to marry me I won’t get anything to eat and I can’t stand that. My home economics will take care of that point.” A. W.’s cake is what you call very good and there is no doubt that he will never go hungry on account of “these lazy women.” Some of the boys are not quite so sure of themselves. Ben Fortune remarks, “I don’t know whether I can cook water or not. I am afraid I might burn it.” Roy Wherley, constant hunter for a diet to reduce his bulk, told the re porter of a recent discovery: “The other day one of the boys cooked up a dish he called cheese fondu. I looked at the recipe, tasted the finished cookery, and was very surprised to find it of a real good taste,,for the contents were very simple. I brought out my micro scope and started hunting for those little fat particles which cause all my trouble. What I found was a greater surprise than the first one. In this cheese mixture I found so little fat that it is just enough to keep a person healthy. I think I will start an eigh teen day diet consisting of only cheese fondu.” The boys have entertained the men faculty this year with no deaths follow ing, and quite a few smiles. Girls, start looking about for a member' of the Boys Home Ec. class. Instead of the usual separate ban quets, entertaining each of their par ents, the Girl Reserves entertained them both at once at the Ma, Pa, and Me banquet. Sarah Willis, Mary Helen King, Gladys Draper, and Bobby Kirk- man were in charge of the arrange ments. Dorothy Hodgin led a stunt lor the entertainment of the guests. Each girl introduced her parents, and afterwards everybody joined in sing ing. The girls were not satisfied wTth Mrs. Clyde A. Milner’s talk at the So cial Standard Conference—they wanted more. So, by i-equest, Mrs. Milner spoke to the Girl Reserves at one of the reg ular meetings. Her topic was “College or an Honorable Substitute?” The Girl Reserves were invited to attend the home-coming of the Y. W. C. A. to its main building on May 16. May 28 is annual poppy day in Greensboro, and the Girl Reserves wib help sell them. Quite a few of the club attended the leap year tea dance given by the Win ston Girl Reserves, May 13. A swimming party and informal sup per ended the year tor the Girl Re serves. The officers for next year were elected. They are as follows: Presi dent, succeeding Pat Kiiight is Dorothy Hodgin; vice-president, Martha Fry, following Eda Walters; secretary, Dorothy Clendenin, succeeding Eloise Tajdor; and treasurer, Helen Gabriel, succeeding Helen Pease After the business session, the girls went for a swim in the Y pool then followed the supper. Martha Ogburn was in charge of the arrangements for the affair.

TRAVEL FEVER HITS HIGH With the coming of another vacation our fellow students are contemplating many different kinds of recreation. Ed Lee is going to California to see the Olympics; Miss Estelle Mitchell, head of the French department, is going abroad on an extended trip through Eu rope; Hardy Root is going to Florida, then to New York, and from there he plans a trip to England and Germany; Lane Barksdale is to visit the western part of the state, then later to attend the Guilford College summer school; Harry Hill will spend two weeks in New York. Three shorthand students, repre senting Greensboro high, brought home a, silver cup from the recent typewriting and shorthand contests at the University of North Caro lina sponsored by the North Caro lina. Commercial association and the university extension division.. The cup was given for first place in the shorthand division. Three, members of the advanced class took third place in their division. The words were dictated at the rate of 60 per minute, and the aver age grade for the team was a frac tion above 99 per cent. Members of the winning team are: Helen Short, Juanita Cox, and Margaret Huggins. Those of the advanced class are: Lucille Nisbet, Frances Dean, and Hazel Nisbet. Mrs. Zoe Hogsette, head of the com mercial department at Senior high accompanied the team. Six G. H. S. typists participated in the typing division but failed to win a cup. Their showing was good, being in many cases next to the winners. Rebecca Jeffress entertained the seniors from 4 to 6 with a kid party at the Greensboro Country club. , The affair occurred after kid day at school; all still wore their costumes. For the first hour the dignified seniors reverted to their not-so-distant child hood and played games suitable to their costumes: Drop-the-Handkerchief, Blind Man’s Buff, Farmer in the Dell, and other similar games were .played with childish abandon. The second hour the seniors danced to the music of Bob England and his Englishmen. With their childish chat ter and their dolls and teddybears, they presented a ludicrous picture. Afterwards pink lemonade, striped candy, and other refreshments were served. Among the decorations gas balloons were in evidence. The program of the Goodwill Stu dent Council headed by Jack Nowlin has been brought to a successful close. The work of the council will be carried on by the new president, Frank Pitt man. The .student government plan came into use at G. H. S. in 1922. At first the school had no other use of it than for discipline, and it was not until 1926 and 27 that really constructive projects were undertaken by the organ ization. Discipline from that time has ceased to be a main factor of the coun cil. About three or four years ago there started a growing feeling of discon tentment and criticism about the coun cil. Students began to feel that, the council could “do the job,” and they had no part in it.^. This is what Jack Nowlin and his council used for the foundation of their program. Jack was the candidate of the people, and he has tried to bring hack th6 government to the people. Using the Goodwill Student Council as a medium, he has been able to sell the idea of student government to the stu dents. The council in carrying out its plan has presented the Goodwill idea through chapel programs and the frank presentation to the student of eA’ery proposed plan, through Jack’s pleasing, happy personality the idea has been carried out in a fine way. Next year’s council will ha:ve the foundation layed by the Goodwill Coun cil to build on; without it it would be almost impossible to continue the stu dent government plan. It is the policy of the office that stu dents haA'e leadership, authority and prestige just as long as it is carried on in a fair, fine acceptable way. FACULTY OF KENT SCHOOL ANNOUNCED Announcement has been made of the faculty of the United States Kent School of Law, 363 Seventh Avenue, New York City, which consists of men who have had wide experience in prac tice of law which they teach.

Rowe, of the Greens boro public library, has presented to the students of the art department a half year’s subscription to the Ameri can Magazine of Creative Art.^ The magazines are of educational value to the students who are indebted to Miai Rowe for her generosity and thought fulness.

My home is on the platform in the music room, and many have been my pleasures here. I have appreciated the touch of sure fingered pianists and have responded to their loving caress and given to them my best tones. I have been played to death while a jazz queen entertained the gang at lunch time, or as the accompaniment while many light hearts and feet tripped the light fantastic. Best of all I have responded to the touch of our best loved musician as he directed the choruses in the teaching of contest numbers. After the first chords I have listened for the burst of voice that would rise and soar, then fade into nothingness. Proud? I’ll say I am, for after all I am responsible, in a small way, for all the first places and honors brought in from contests and concerts.
