We hope that they will enjoy their stay in Greensboro and while here look over our buildings and see where we go daily for our education. We want them to visit our auditorium. Our radio department, located in the science building, is another place of interest in the school. Here we send messages to all parts of the United States and receive them also. Our cafe teria is the most important place to us, for this is where we are served real meals for very little money. We hope the teachers will visit us again in the near future. The Greensboro Associarion c: Class- rcom Teachers vas creared in order :o provide an asency through which teachers could act as a ‘uruhed group in protecting their own interest and in working tor the best interest o: students and school. It is strictly a classroom-teacher organization. its membership being limited to those whose major work and interest are round in the classroom. Regular officers of the organization are elected by popular vote of the teachers and they, with a group of two representatives from each of four main divisions of our school system, namely. Senior high. Junior high. Ele mentary, and Primary compose the executive council. Aims to Prevent Political Promotions During the period of nearly two years in which it has existed this or ganization has been instrumental in collecting and presenting to the teach ers facts relating to school economy and teachers’ salaries. It has tried to I prevent selfish political and business leaders in the city, county, and, state from promoting a program of false economy that would cause the teach ers to suffer unjustly and cripple the efficiency of our school system. One of the major obj'ectiv^es of the Association has been to foster a spirit of professional pride and high stand ard of ethics for its members. Only teachers who have a real interest and pride in their profession have become members and they are trying to build for themselves a profession whose high ideals, valuable service, and ciwe leadership will merit the support and appreciation of the leaders who have been wise enough to realize that only an enlightened and informed group of teachers can render effective aid in the fight against political graft that .is forcing teachers to bear an unjust share of the indebtedness incurred by over-expansion and reckless expendi tures by the various departments of our city, county, and state govern ments. Winston-Salem. Reidsville. Work With Greensboro The Greensb-erc Associaher. of Class room Teachers, working wi:h similar groups from Wins:on-Salem and Rsidsville. ini:ia:eid 'he movement which led to the organization of a State Association o: Classroom Teach ers. which was atfihated with the na tional organization. This new depart ment o: the X. C. E. A. was organized at tne .a: ^. a w c leetinz iit Charlotte. Purpose of Teachers V^hat are teachers.'' Where do we class them, as guaras, guides or anuhals." Teachers are real human beings. They think and reason as a teacher should. They are the pupils’ guides who lead them through the dark. Teachers guide and direct the student over the stumbling blocks, and tell them where the next block is to be encountered so that the student will not stumble and fall. Teachers are really our crutches or lights, for they guide, direct, and show us the things we do not know. We lean upon them for assistance and direction. Perseverance Wins Fame Just exactly 440 years ago Christopher Columbus, through endurance, bravery, and perseverance, found a new land, a new world; this land is now known as the West Indies. Columbus and his crew in three small vessels, sailed on and on, through storms and mutiny, but perseverance was his. He found this land not for himself, but for you and me. In memory of this daring, we commemorate Columbus Day, October 12. We hail him as the discoverer of America and a great explorer. Our Publications The most important student activities in any school center is the pub lication. This is especially true of G. H. S. Our publications gather in and reflect back to us the literary, athletic, dramatic, and musical events and achieve ments which take place. Thus, the publications are actually the center of our school life, and consequently should receive our constant attention and support. When the football team gains a victory, we read about it in High Life. Through Homespun, we become acquainted with the better class of prose and poetry which the student body produces. If a member of this school has an interesting experience, or achieves outstanding success in sorrie phase of school work, we may obtain a detailed account of it from High Life. It is obvious that a school without any publications would be lacking in one of the best possible means of keeping the student body interested iri school and active in the different types of extra-curricular work. In fact the eyes of the student body would be gone. We can’t get along without our magazine and our newspaper. Let’s see to it that we keep on having them. High Life For Better Times are bad, and the further we progress the rougher the road and the harder is the incline; but always with a little more energy the top may be reached. Everyone who is a real G. H. S. citizen should stand by its newspaper and let all know that the old spirit of Senior high is still aglow and can burst forth to flames. For many years our paper has won prizes throughout the nation. To carry on, it must have the support of all. So lead on. High Life, for better. John Ademy Wins Scholarship We congratulate John Ademy. A few years ago he entered our school, a shy and unassuming lad. At that time he gave no thought to music. Then, out of sheer curiosity, he joined the school glee club. In a little while his curiosity became interest. This interest that John has shown in his music has been growing. It carried him through four major parts in our high school operas, and now, as a climax, John has just won a scholarship to the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore. Had not John been determined in his objective, and had he not been willing to work, we doubt if he would be where he is today.

Druids Originated Hallowe’en Hallowe’en has its origin -with the Druids, a religious sect. 'They believ ed that on October 31 the Death God called together the wicked souls who had died within the past year. 'Thus we get the belief that on Hallowe’en ghosts and witches are abroad on this night. In ancient times, on this day the Druids held a great autumn festival in thanksgiving for the harvest. Nuts and apples were used in the festival to represent the winter store of fruits. Apple ducking and roasting of nuts are survivals of this ancient custom. For a long time it was the custom to light bonfires on Hallowe’en. This custom has been abolished. Foremost in Fashion Far Most in Value NEAL’S OF GREENSBORO Smart Apparel for Discriminating 'Women Book Reviews “THE TEN COMMANDMENTS’’ By Warwick Deeping Warwick Deepii^ has never written with more/>^'>'^o’*.*4HikdiTio' of .tears and happiness thifn in this, his most recent novel. The story itself is that perfect expression of love and courage, which has made him a favorite writer among thousands of readers. It tells of the strange Nicholas Bon- thorn, bachelor and wounded ex-sol dier, who asked nothing of life but beauty and the time to care for it; and of the lovely Rachel Buck, who regard ed life as simply a time for merriment and jazz. But fate played a bitter trick on her, and then she learned that the wild thrills she had always sought were merely obscui’e compared with the sacred things which make life worth living. From the time of the great turning point in her life the story is told in a spirit of reverence and beauty unequalled in Mr. Deeping’s previous novels. “MR. AND MRS. PENNINGTON’’ By Frances Brett Young “Mr. and Mrs. Pennington,’’ a tale of young married life, involves court ship, marriage, scandal, murder, and reconciliation, respectively. Although it’s the same old story of two young married people who grow tired of each other and then fall in love all over again, it is told in a new and absorbing way. The characters change so gradually nearly so perfect as those usually de scribed in novels of this type. The story revolves around a vain, imaginative young girl who nearly wrecks her life, her husband’s and many others by her attempts to live the life of the heroine of the modern novels. The cahracters change so gradually throughout the discourse, that at the end of the story one can hardly recog nize them as the ones with whom one started out. YUM, YUM, YUM Cornbread, old Southern style corn- bread! The home economics class had baked cornbread and were eating their own products. Did they like it? We shall see. The inevitable fire drill! The girls rushed out of the door, but in their hands—oh, the cornbread! Butter dripping from dainty fingers. Boys and girls lined up outside the science building. Realizing there really was no fire they began tasting. Did they like it? Hot, buttered. Southern corn- bread! .HR—•MU*—MU——MH— I MAISON JOLINE j I (Next door to O.

FRANK PITTMAN. ❖ RAMBLING THOUGHTS By Hardy Root Tlte big' question of the past few weeks has been: “Have you itiet the new girl from High Point 'F’ I haven't even caught a passing glimpse of her. and doir’t care if I don't. My little gal suits me. Wouldn't it be swell if the school board appropriated some money and built overhead awnings from the main building to the street? You know, like you see at the ritzy hotels. Then we wouldn't have to break our necks running up the walk during a rainstorm. A few years ago my scout troop went on an overnight hike. After trudging through the woods for what seemed like hours, we finally pitched camp in the thickest part of a wild, uninhab ited wilderness. Now our beautiful, ivp—4o-d.at-o eclioolUoxiso i« «it.ua.toi Oil the very spot. My, my. what progress will do! At the Leaksville-Greensboro foot ball game, a small gii-1 jumped up dur ing the most exciting moment, and in a fit of overpowering emotion scream ed: “I’d die for old G. H. S.” Now that's what I call real school spirit. Mr. Miller told me that my voice is developing a “warble.” He thought he was criticizing, but, shoot, I’d rather sing like Bing Crosby than Caruso any day. “When love turns to hate, tis not hate, 'tis bitterness.” Oh, crool fate, what hast thou done to Harry Hill? Which reminds me that Harry has been kidding me about this column. I admit it isn’t much, cause I’m no O. O. McIntyre, and don’t pretend to be. And so, my thoughts ramble on. >- V ' CATTLE OR STUDENTS, OR BOTH? What is the difference between a heard of stampeding cattle and a group of students released for lunch? There is none! As the thirsty cattle stampede when water is near, so do the hungry students when the smell of food is wafted to their widely ex panded nostrils. If one of the herd begins to run the rest follow, not un like the ways of the students. Stamp ing, mowing down those in front, the mob rushes on. Which? The cattle or the students? Both! Remember Longfellow’s poem: In the earth’s broad field of battle, In the bivouac of Life, Be not like dumb driven cattle; Be a hero in the strife. y ' Squirrel Disappointed at School The squirrels are now getting as bad as dogs and cats, that is so far as coming to school is concerned. Un like pupils, dogs and other stray an imals think Senior high is a place of enjoyment and pleasure, the reason is that they are always kindly treated and petted. Squirrels are quite choice about their hours at school. They al ways choose lunch periods. One day at the 12:30 lunch one of these small, gray, bushy tail animals made his visit by climbing straight up the side of the auditorium as if to get a good look at things. In a very strange manner he ran along the edge of the roof and finally descended and departed disappointed. PATTIE McNAIRY MILLINERY Opposite Clinic Hospital Phone 5469 117 S.
