Thrills and Horrors of Research Are
Experienced by Miss Pike’s Classes
“Have you seen that gold mine near
Sedgefield?”
“No, where? AA'ill you go with me
and show me?”
“There’s one near Pleasant Garden.”
“Yes, I know that one.”
“Did you know Albion Tourgee was
a writer as well as a carpet-bagger?”
“He was a lawyer, too. He once ran
for .judge.”
“I’ve just read one of his books, A
Fool’s Errand l)y One of the Fools.”
“Yiek’s started in the same drug
store in Avhich O. Henry first Avorked.”
“AAffis O. Henry really born on the
spot Avliere the Alasonic Temple iioaa'
stands?”
“Yes.”
“No.”
“That’s a debatable question.”
No wonder Aliss Pike finds it some-
Avhat difficult to get her class doAvn to
serious Avork on the Angles and Saxons
and Chaucer and BeoAvulf and parti
ciples and footnotes and book reports
Avbeu the class is so concerned about
finding material on such subjects as
“Gold Alines in and Around Greens
boro,” Avhich is occupying tbe time and
thoughts of Broadus Troxler.
“The Development of A^icks Chemical
Company” is being handled by Rebecca
Hines. (And, by tbe Avay, A^icks is
pleased AAutb Rebecca’s AAmrk to the ex
tent of sending her an abundance of
materials, and a request for her paper
Avhen it is completed.)
Bob Byrd, Stokes RaAAdins, and Bill
AA^ashington are digging up tbe ghost
of Albion Tourgee, tbe most hated of
Greensboro Avriters, while Albee Fulton
and AValter AVoods are searching old
records and interAueAving interesting old
citizens, of Greensboro in their en
thusiasm for getting every bit of avail
able information from first hand
sources on the life of Greensboro’s most
beloved author, O. Henry, or AATll Por
ter as he AA'as knoAvn to contemporaries.
Frank Alasters is learning all he can
about Richard B. Harrison, of Green
Pastures’ fame Avho one time lived in
Greensboro.
Alitzi ScAvell says if people Avould
only pause long enough to listen, John
Charles AIcNeil Avould sing his Avay
into the hearts of all North Carolina
AA’ith his Lyrics From Cotton Land and
8ongs Merry and Sad.
Oh, all this is talk about senior-term
papers -— requirements for graduation
you laiOAV, in Avhicii one is to learn the
thrills and horrors of research and
footnotes and organization and Avhat
not—
In this particular English 8 class of
Aliss Pike’s, most of the subjects are
of local interest and the subjects and
the interest are threatening to run
aAvay Avith tbe course. There are also
a number of topics relating to the
themes old and iicaa" in Greensboro and
the Old North State Avhich claim time
and attention of the class not men
tioned in this article.
THREE G. H. S, STUDENTS
TO TAKE DRAMA COURSE
G. II. S. Avill be represented at tbe
dramatics course at tbe UniA'ersity of
North Carolina by Alary PoAver Frazier,
Alartba Hornaday, and Elizabeth Dea
ton. They aauII attend tbe session for
six AA^eeks, beginning June 13.
They Avill study acting, playAvriting,
costuming, and make-up. These funda
mentals are to be taught by experts.
In addition special lectures Avill be
given by Dr. Fredericlc Koch, Paul
Green, J. Flenry Ilighsmith, and others
Avell-versed in theater arts.
FOOTPRINTS IN THE
It certainly looked queer, — there
Avere about 20 of them, and no tAvo
alike. Of course, this Avouldn’t lunm
been so unusual except for the fact
that they usually traA^el in pairs. One
Avithout another is like coffee Avitbout
cream,—like Easter Avitbout lilies, like
. . . like . . . ob, Avell, Avhat difference
does it make? Tbe girls in Aliss Sted-
man’s sixth period class AA’ere only
studying outlines of their oaaui feet and
shoes to determine Avhether they (the
shoes) fitted properly. In this case, I
guess one footprint is O.K. — Avbat’s
that?
