NOTICE, GIRLS!
In speaking of our athletics we naturally
mention basket ball, volley ball, tennis, etc.,
but sometimes we forget that the girls have
another pastime of physical activity in our
High School equally as important as any
of the games with ball. Each Monday and
Wednesday at 3:30 a group of our High
School girls meet in the Greensboro Col
lege Gymnasium, where they spend thirty
or forty minutes taking well planned
Swedish gymnastics, playing games and
doing folk dances under Miss Coleman’s
supervision. Not only do these periods af
ford much physical development and re
creation, but they also bring a kind of
happy mental recreation that these girls
enjoy. All about the building daily one
may hear such comments as: “1 am just
erazj’ about our Swedish drill work.”
“And oh, don't you just love to play those
games to the music ? ’ ’ Those girls who are
taking no part in athletics are missing
something worth while, beneficial and en
joyable. Several new girls have joined the
class since Christmas and they like it very
much. Recently the classes have learned
some new folk dances which everyone en
joys. If you would like to join give your
name to Miss Inabelle Coleman at once. If
you cannot come both days—Monday and
Wednesday—come just one day per week,
and join one class for fun, pleasure and
enjoyable pastime.

dances of her race. These were greatly

INTERESTING PROGRAM
BY READING CIRCLE
Faculty Enjoy Lively Discussion on H. S.
Problems.
The High School Reading Circle met
last Thunsday afternoon a week ago at the
Y. W. C. A. hut. There was a large at
tendance and a most interesting program
given.
The subject under discussion was “The
High School Boy, His Leisure Hours and
His Reading.” Prof. Guy B. Phillips, our
recently installed principal, led the discus
sion on the “Leisure Hours,” giving as
his conviction that unless a teacher could
so influence the life of the pupils by his
teaching as to consciously or unconsciously
inject these influences into their leisure
hours as well as their classroom work, he
was falling short of the possibilities of
every teacher.
h’ollowing this forceful discussion, Mr.
Woods gave interesting statistics of the
leisure hours of a number of pupils he had
catechised recently.
Misses Ale.xander, Parr and McIntyre
discussed “His Reading”—why he reads
dime novels, why he doesn’t like poetry,
and what to substitute for this reading.
■ His choice of dime novels they felt was be
cause of the exciting plots, and lively nar
rative that unquestionably has its .appeal
to the youths who are not guided in this
choice of books. His dislike for poetry is
possibly due to the fact that he loses its
beauty in having to study its form, conse
quently becomes prejudiced against it for
life. As for what to substitute for this
reading, they suggested books that have
more action than some 'presei’ibed by the
regular course. For instance:
American History.
Richard Carvel, The Crisis, The Gross
ing, (Churchill).
To Have and to Hold (Mary Johnston).
Hugh Wynne.
English History.
Keiinelworth: When Knighthood Was
in Flower.
Ramma—Helen H. Jackson.
The Virginian—Anna Wistor.
Kim—Kipling.
Around the World in Bight Days—Jules
Verne.
The Count of Monte Christo, Three Mus-
queteers, (Dumas).
Les Miserables—Hugo.
A Friend of Caesar—Davis.
And in teaching appreciation for good
reading not to emphasize to the point of
prejudicing the pupil, the structure of the
selection taught.
At the conclusion of the program lovely
refreshments were served, consisting of ice
cream, cake and chocolates, the last men
tioned being a parting treat to the faculty
from our beloved Mr. Price, coming as a
delightful surprise to most of us, since it
was entrusted to the safe keeping of Miss
Summerell for this occasion.
Another surprise sprung on us was the
announcement of—no, not engagement,
but—the forty-eighth (?) birthday of one
of our faculty. Much interest was mani
fested in the lovely cake disclosing this se
cret from the blowing out of the dainty
little candles on top to the discovering of
the wedding ring within, Miss Rudd prov
ing the lucky one in that instance.
Altogether this proved to be the most
enjoyable one of our meetings so far.
