Although' several f the members of this years’ team leave this year, we feel that the material that did not make the team will compose a good team next rear. I'or the first time in the history of the school the girls have had a real chance to shorv iheir abilities in athletics. IWery one greatly enjoyed the May Day Exercises and those taking part gained a great deal rvorth while. We are glad to see that the school boartl is idanning the same thing next year but on larger scale. Next year the practices are U) be;.',in in the P'all and when time comes for the exercises every one will be preparetl and III) one will have to rush in practices at ihe last minute.

HISTORY Ob' GREENSBORO HIGI SGHOOL Chapter VIE Nine Years of Progress In 1007, a very affable but efficient man came to take charge of Greenboro’s schools. He possessed the imposing title of Dr. J. L. ■Mann. He was iirobably one of the most popular of all the superintendents who have presided over G. IT S. One of the first things he did was to se cure a new high school for the >'oung folks of Greensboro. The cit)' purchased a piece of ground on Spring street from a aL'. Rob Always Remember: True economy lies in buying the best and skipping the rest. You get out of Shoes what the maker puts into them. Cheap shoddy Shoes are most expensive in the end because of their early end. This is not a “Just Out” Store. We have been in business more than thirty-two years; and last year was the largest in our history, and feel that we can justly claim to know something about Shoes. When you buy Shoes here you get the benefit of our knowledge and experience. We are all set for a big spring business. Are you with us ? J. M. Hendrix & Co. “The Home of Good Shoes” 223 South Elm Street Greensboro, N. C. inson. Soon a modern brick building was erected. With a new building and plenty of room a new spirit of progress took hold of the students. So the class of 1909 was an un usual one. Atr. Allen Preyer was its presi dent. They put out athletic teams better than any previous Greensboro team. One thing of which they are proud to be the originators is the annual “Reflector”, it was a big undertaking and took work but they went ahead and made a success of it. During Dr. Alann’s administration the curriculum was greatly broadened. Five languages, T'rench, German, Spanish, Latin and English, geometry and algebra, various kinds of science, bookkeeping, shorthand, typewriting and history from Adam to the Hague Gonference were the main topics taught. When the University of North Carolina started holding the state trianguler debates ever}' year, of course Greensboro high school entered the contests. .At first there seemed to be little success, but now it is seen that those early contests laid the foundation for the winning debaters to come later. On various occasions, the appearance of the school was greatly improved. Some times pictures were given or bought and sometimes shriibs were planted. There is not a picture on the walls of G. H. S. but what reveals judgement and good taj’ste. Since the pictures on the walls reveal char acter of the people then the pictures on the G. IT S. walls tell plainly that is is a place of high ideals and noble principles. In 1916, Dr. Alann resigned to take up u'ork elsewhere, much to the regret of stu dents. teachers, and patrons. During his administration the school had developed into a real high school. Scholarship took an upward path, athletics thrived and the social life ot the school became more enjoy able and beneficial. Therefor, the G. H. S. ma}’ well look upon Dr. Alann as one of the greatest factors or rather promoters of its progress. Chapter VI11. G. H. S. Marks ‘Time In 1917, Mr. W, C. A. Tlammel was made superintendent of the Greensboro schools Probabl}' no other man who came to take charge of the public schools here had spec- alized in physics and manual art and had studied in John Hopkins University. During the year that Mr. Tlammel was head of G. H. S. the school distinguished itself in athletics, scholarship, and other ways. Still no especially noticeable prog ress was made because of the difficulty in securing equipment for carrying on the best work. Everything was more or less upset everywhere over the impending war with Germany which came in April 1917. Of course it was only natural that the school system would be affected. 'The spirit of the students during that period ought to be commended. "I'liey did all they could to alleviate the troubles and stood by those in charge loyally. (Continued on page five)
