■i! PAGE SIX ‘HIGH” LIFE, DECEMBER 20, 1920. FOOTBALL SQUAD GIVEN PARTY BY FACULTY The faculty of G, H. S. gave the football squad a delightful reception at the First Presbyterian Church Hut Saturday night. From eight until nine o’clock the doors were open to members of the Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs and the parents of the boys on the team. Several games were played, the object being to get everybody acquaints ed. Punch was served in three corners of the room from punch bowls decorated in the High School colors. At nine the older folks left and the party progressed to a general good time for all. Everyone had something to do every minute, there being several games in progress. Mashmallows were distributed and toasted in the four open fii’cplaces that makes the Hut so at tractive and homelike. At 10:30 the crowd disbanded with many thanks to the faculty wlio had provided such a good time. The D. D. D.’s have had another meet ing.

FIRST CIRCLE MEETING HELD BY FACULTY One of the best faculty meeting ever held, from tlie point of view of enjoyment, was held in the Sunday school room of the First Baptist church Thursday before last. The occasion was the organizing of the High School Circle for study of school problems. A very attractive supper was served, during which quite a few stunts were pullled. “Hits” on each member of the faculty were read. They were in, the form of limericks written bj' Miss Tyer, and were unusually clever. Miss Killingsworth told the object of the meeting. She said that since the N. C. Board of Examiners had decided that the teachers must meet to study that the Greensboro High School teachers were go ing to have some fun with their study. Miss Beam gave some very amusing poems on the teachers’ names, and Miss Dry, accompanied by Mrs. Loftain, gave a bright original reading. Mrs. Stearne, city welfare officer, gave a most interesting talk on “Problems of the Greensboro Boy.” Dr. Kephart dis cussed some of these problems. This meet ing is to be repeated monthly. IN MEMORY OF Dallas Ruffian Phelps, son of L. P. Phelps, 1000 West Lee street, born Pec. 20, 1900, at W^inston-Salem, N. C., died Nov. 11, 1920, at Greensboro, N. C. Dallas was a faithful student in the B seetion of the Junior High School. Having won promotion the first month of school by his satisfactory w'ork and praiseworthy manner of deportment, he was admired by both teachers and fellow students. His interest did not cease in the class room ; on the playground he was a fine athlete, a good sportsman, and “fair play” was his motto. His previous record at the West Lee School bears the same testimony. Usefulness, honesty and loyalty had stamped his young life; and the favor, which he had won in the hearts of his as sociates, was expressed by the fruits sent him in his illness; by the flowers for his burial, and by the representative body of students which attended the last sad rites. He was an earnest worker in the Spring Garden Street Methodist Church, and his presence will be sorrowfully missed from all places where his interests centered. To the bereaved ones, and into the home where the shadow is deepest, our hearts go out in sympathy. “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.” Clarence Andrew, Wayne Layton, Winfred Thompson. Literary Society in Room 203 Has Inter esting Program. The girls of the chapter of the Girls’ Literary Society that meet in 203 had a unique program last Friday. Instead of the usual seriousness observed there, they had a circus show. There were a very “melodious” band, a monkey, a burlesque dramatization of “Lord Ullins’ Daugh ter,” a clown and other necessary circus features. Quite a number of recitations and solos were also rendered. The circus certainly did amuse the chapter very much and everyone in the society pro nounced it a roaring success. Miss Marion Gilmer of R. M. W. C. spent the week-end with her parents.
