GREENSBORO HIGH SCHOOL, APRIL 8, 1921
NO. 12
NINE SPLITS EVEN ON
THEIR EASTERN TRIP
Win from Raleigh But Lose to Trinity Park
By Large Score
The boys representing Greensboro High
School marched out on a very wet field
April 1st and there staged their first game
of baseball for this season.
After some batting practice the Trinity
Park boys were called to the field, and
Greensboro got to bat. The first two men
were put out, but then the fun began.
After three successive singles the bases were
full and Capt; Shaffer was at the bat. He
let two go by but he caught on to a fast
one and put it right down third base line
for three bases.
Grensboro made five runs in this inning.
Trinity scored three. The game then ran
along until the fourth without anything
particular happening.. In the fourth
Taylor began walking men and he did not
seem satisfied until he had walked eight.
After this inning George tightened up and
allowed only four hits in six innings. At
the end of the game the score stood 18
to i2 in favor of Trinitj Park. /
The team as a whole showed up fine in
this game and despite their playing a prep
aratory school thy chalked up 15 hits to
their opponents 11. One man (Capt.
Shaffer) getting two triples and one double.
Batteries:
Greensboro—Cooper, Bell, Taylor, Lam-
■ bert.
Trinity Park—Whitsit, Sasser, Brown.

SOPHOMORES
On the trip which Greensboro was de-
featd by Trinity Park they chalked up a
victory over Raleigh to the tune of 16 to
14. It was a most interesting game despite
the score. It ran for 10 innings. The score
being 10 to 10 at the end of the ninth. An
other inning was played in which Greens
boro poled out six runs and on account of
a couple of wild heaves by our fast little
short stopi, who was suffering from an in
jured arm, Raleigh counted four tallies.
Carson was in the best of form except for
two innings. He issued 12 walks during
the game nine being in one inning.

which time and again caused applause to

team showed a master}' of the subject, and
a fighting spirit that angers well for a
chance at the Aycock Memorial cup.
The debate at Winston was presided over
by Supt. Latham of the Winston schools
and Bryan Barker, the Greensboro nega
tive alternate was timekeeper.
The judges were: Miss Flunt of ,Salem
College, Dr. Mills of Guilford and Mr.
Dalton of High Point and the decision was
two to one in favor of the negative.

The Greensboro High School debating
team, won a double victory on Friday, April
1st. The Affirmative team: James Hen
drix and Allan Staiback, debated the Ashe
ville negative here. The Asheville represen
tatives: Miss Gertrude Tennant and Arthur
Kale were worthy opponents in every sense
of the word. Arthur Kale was on the state
championship team last year and is an un
usually strong high school debater.
Mr. Waynick presided over the debate,
Messrs. York and Hyatt acted as time
keepers and Nellie Irvin acted as secretary.
James Hendrix was the first speaker and
presented his argument in a most force-
TENNIS TOURNAMENT TO BE

Tennis has not been stressed very much
lately after the last tournament that was hel
A tournament is on now to pick out the best
players to represent the FI. S. in the state
contest to be held at Carolina April 13-
15th. There are about ten boys that have
played enough tennis and are going out for
the team that could represent the high school
most anywhere in tennis. There will be a
large tournament near the last of school that
every pupil, girl or boy, may enter and try
to be the champion. Every evening boys are
practicing so as to make good in the tourna
ment. The FI. S. was represented by Billy
Vanstory and Jimmy Poole last year.
About twenty high schools will be in the
tournament at Carolina.
Miss Tennent was the first negative speaker.
She is a clear cut fdrceful speaker and de-
a well thought out logical speech. Allan
Stainback presented the evils of our indus
trial system showed how the principal of
collective bargaining would remedy these
evils. Arthur Kale was the last speaker.
He defended the principal of industrial de
mocracy. Fie is a polished speaker and
gave his argument in a very striking man
ner.
The order was rversed in rejoinder. The
negative debaters were good in rebuttal
but the affirmative team came back with a
spirit and force that was a rvelation to their
own class mates. One of the judges said
he had never seen a college team handle
rebuttals better. The decision of the judges;
Dr. Lindeman of N. C. C. W. Dr. Wyrick
of Elon andtMr. Hudson of Winston was
two to one m favor of the affirmative.
One interesting feature of the debate was
the large attendance of labor-union members
from Greensboro. They were intensely in

accompanying the team were Misses Minish,

JUNIORS AND SENIORS HOLD
ANNUAL RECEPTION
G. H. S. VS. WINSTON
“Ah, H’m!’’ said the able attorney. “So,
naturally you want justice?”
“I don’t want no such a thing!” yelled
the uncouth client. “I want damages!”
Reginald has never been able to progress
very far in his suit for Myrtle’s hand. On
the last occasion he broached the subject,
asking, “Do you think your father would
consent to my marrying you?”
The girl cruelly replied. “Well, he might.
Father’s so eccentric.”
The debate at Winston was unusual in
one particular, the affirmative was upheld
by a brother and sister, Bosley and Nancy
Crowther. They were very strong deboters
and presented the claims of the trade unions
in a forceful and clean cut manner. The
negative team, Margoret Hartsell and
Gladys Holland were too much for the Win
ston representatives. They presented the
evils of the trade unionism and the ad
vantages of an industrial democracy in
strong and well thought out speeches. In
rebuttal the Winston team came back well,
especially Nancy Crowther, but she failed
Thursday night, March 24, the Juniors
entertained the Seniors with the annual Jun
ior-Senior banquet at the Country Club.
After being greeted by the receiving line of
the Juniors, all assembled in the dining room
and the banquet began. Hurbert Rawlins,
president of the Junior class, made an ex
cellent toast-master, always having an ap
propriate bit of wit and humor. He began
with a speech of welcome to the Seniors
which was responded to by a speech by
James Flendrix, president of the Senior class.
Between courses the Juniors read from vol
umes of history the underclassmen’s im
pressions of the Senior. The Junior’s impres
sions of the Seniors were shown by clever
impersonations of certain members ■ of the
Senior class. After that the Senior teachers
gave the opinion of their pupils. Miss
Gressit, as is her custom, proved everything
she said and Mr. Edwards convinced all
that the Seniors were not “unknown quan
tities” to him. Many splendid thoughts were
given the Juniors and Seniors by Mr. Arch
er and Mr. Phillips, “the Powers that be.”
Then the other teachers present were called
on for speeches, and true to their profession
they responded in every language from
Latin to shorthand. These impromptu
speeches were bright and witty and were
thoroughly enjoyed.
After the banquet all mingled for a -social^
time and a few rounds of 'Virginia Reel were
danced. Then the orchestra began to play
“Flome, Sweet Home” all disbanded, feeling
that the “Junior-Senior” had been a great
to combat -the strongest argument of the | success. —Mildred Leal^’22.
