PAGE POUE ‘HIGH” LIFE, DECEMBER 20, 1920. GREENSBORO DROPS WESTERN CHAMPIONSHIP TO MONROE (Contmued from page 1) on the 40-yard line, and by end runs and line bucks made first down. But here G, H. S. began to show Monroe that Greens boro boys were not to be trampled upon. So the quarter ended with the ball in mid- field with neither team able to make a score. It was during the second quarter tliat G. H. S.’s hopes began to fade away on the side lines, for in this quarter Mon roe gained two points for a safety. Mon roe was held in mid-field for three downs and was eorapelled to punt on her fourtli down. The ball was kicked and began rolling toward G. H. S.’s goal line. P. 'fransou (G. H. S.’s fighting little quater) allowed the ball to roll on, hoping it to roll beliina the line and thus gain position of it on the 20-yard line. But in an effort to block the punt G. Taylor touched the hall, thus making it anybody’s ball. Mon roe man fell on the ball on Greensboro’s 5-yard line and then was to begin G. H, S.’s fight to uphold Greensboro’s part in the Western championship. By line bucks and a regained fumble, Monroe held the ball on Greensboro’s one-yard line. Every effort was utilized on the part of Monroe to carry the ball over, but with G. H. S. holding as it was not an inch could be gained. And right here might be said that Greensboro High School has a boy to be proud of. Fritz Maus crippled, but Fritz seemed to think of the old motto, ‘‘A man may be down but he is never out,” and he stuck right on through the fight. Monroe alter being held for four downs on the one-yard line was compelled to give the ball over to 6. H. S. Daniel was called back to punt. The ball was kicked and hit the goal pole squarely, bounding back behind the line with Transou falling on it. But only to be eotinted a safety (2 points) for Monroe. The remainder of the game saw the game swaying back and forward ami in mid-field neither side being able to score, handicapped by the wet and sloppy lield. The game ended with ball on Greensboro’s 40-yard line and the score stood 2—0 in Monroe’s favor. Monroe won the distinction. of being Western Cham pions of N. C., while G. H. S. won the dis tinction of being good losers and of putting- up the hardest and gamest fight ever seen in a high school team, and last but not least of showing that foremost theory in Athletics—Good Sportsmanship. 6. H. S.’s line-up was as follows: 1. e., Maus; 1. t., J. Transou; I. g., Taylor; c., Daniels; r. g., Forsythe; r. t.. Barker; r. e.. Brown; f. b., Fordham; q. b., P. Transou; 1. h. b., Hen drix ; r. h. b., Ballard. LABELED—A JOKE A Ford automobile has been donated to the Senior Class of this High School to be sold at auction to help out in the class ex penses.

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL EXHIBIT Have you seen the attractive display of Christmas posters and slogans in the hall of Annex A? If you haven't, come over and get the Christmas spirit from the boys and girls of our seventli grades, who made “Pays to jhop Early,” which has been so these posters, and learn the lesson, “It loreeiully impressed upon them. Audrey Johnson-has portrayed on a black background an array of bunnies, brightly costumed and laden with Christ mas packages, -who are marching single file to the commands of their austere cap tain, “Obey Orders” and “Avoid the Rush. ’ ’ I’aul Moon has on a white background a wonderfully decorated Christmas tree baiuling with bright tinsels; underneath is placed a Noah’s Ark which would make any kiddie pray that his mama would be an early shopper. Lacy Andrews’ poster deserves mention because of its excellent lettering. In Wil liam Ham’s poster the idea of early shop ping is carried out most impres.sively by the rising sun with its command, and by the stately Christmas candles. Vernell Hackney and Oxelen Goode have expressed original ideas in unusual ways and the troubles of late shopping are attractively and impi’essively i^ictured by Howard Wimbish. The posters will be on exhibit until af ter the Christmas entertainment. A most cordial invitation is extended to both the parents and friends of the Jimior High School pupils to see their work.

FRIENDS AND CLASSMATES: There was once a teacher who thought that she would arouse the ambition of her pupils bj' the use of a very practical illus tration. So she told them all to imagine they were eggs ,and to decide what they wanted to hatch out and be. One little boy said he w'anted to hatch out and be a law yer, another wanted to hatch out and be a doctor, and so on. Finally, she caught sight of Johnny, in the back of the room, who had not raised his hand at all. “Well, Johnny,” she asked, “what are you going to hatch out and be?” “I ain’t gonna hatch,” he replied.” “Why?” asked his teacher in surprise. ‘ ‘ ’Cause, ma says I’m a bad egg,” answered Johnny. So I don’t know what I am going to hatch out as president of this class, be cause I have just come out of the pot and 1 don’t know what I am myself. I hope you will console yourself, though, with the thought that nothing is so bad but what it could have been worse. But I want to tell you now that I consider it the greatest honor of my life to be president of the Junior Class. And, as president, I will do all I can, but I will be absolutely help less without the whole-hearted individual support of every member of the class; and I feel sure that every member will have a chance to help, for w'e have a full year ahead of us. But first, I want to say that in union there is strength. We want to unite all the Junior Class so w'e will feel that we are in one room, instead of three. We also want to arouse a better school spirit in the Junior Class and support the school activities, not only football and base ball, but support the activities of the Se nior Class, support our newspaper, and many other things that are calling for our help, and you know there never was a class able to support the activities of a school if the class of twenty-two is not. Then comes the entertainment that we are going to give the Seniors. I know we are all looking forward to that time with great pleasure. We ought to support it both financially and in spirit. Now, last and also least, I think, I want to thank you for my election. As I have said before, it is the greatest honor of my life, and I thank you one and all. So— Here’s to the class of twenty-two. We’ll always pull together; A class that’s loyal, staunch, and true. In sunshine and cloudy weather.
