Henry Hotel Eight o’clock, Friday, January Fourth SENIOR LATIN STUDENTS GIVE ROMAN BANQUET Carry Out Ancient Style—-Dress in Togas—Recline on Couches—Eat With Fingers STUDENTS GIVE CHAPEL PROGRAM Many projects have been planned by the Latin department this year. The first of these was a Roman banquet at which the semester eight class enter tained the semester seven class on No vember 27 at the high school cafeteria. The banquet was carried out in strictly Roman style. All of the guests were clad in Roman dress and they reclined on couches. No silverware was used during the entire meal. After each course the guests used finger bowls to prepare them for the next serving. Harold Cone played a piano solo, and Barliara Allen Morse gave a Greek dance. The second project was the chapel program December 10, 11, and 12. The devotional taken from the 13th chapter of I Corinthians was led by Christine Shepard, a Latin II student. Also a playlet, written by Miss Hall, which was the story of how an anti-Latin student was convinced that Latin was an excellent study, was given by her Latin YI class. The Latin VI classes of Mrs. W. E. Smith and Miss Rachael Sibley sang several songs in Latin. Following this. Miss Evelyn Martin’s Latin V class presented a short play let, “A Schoolboy’s Dream,” in which James Strickland was the ghost of Caesar, and Ernest Hunt the uninter ested Latin student. WESTERN SECTION HI-Y HOLDS COUNCIL Henry Wood Elected President; J. Barnes a Committee man of Program MANY FROM G.H.S. ATTEND The Tenth Annual Older Boys’ con ference of Western North Carolina was attended by eight boys from G. U. S. This meeting was held at Morganton Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, De cember 7-9. The purpose of the meeting was to bring into closer relations the youth of the state. Henry Wood, of Ashevilie, was elected president, and J. Barnes, of G. II. S., will serve on the program committee for the ensuing year. J. Wilson Smith, the state secretary, was the devotional leader and made .several inspirational talks. The ggp- eral discussion for the conference was “Ideals of the Christian Youth.” and under this head ten different points were discussed. Those attending the conference were dependent on the hospitality of Mor- gaiiton. One of the feature entertain ments was a tour of the school for tlie deaf where Mr. Warner gained much attention and popularity by talk ing with the inmates of the iusiicution. This accomplishment came- in handy at the banquet Saturday night where he talked to two (very pretty) instructors of the deaf. The trip home was started Sunday afternoon with a stop over in States ville. On reaching home Mr. Warner complained that he had some trouble in getting the boys away from the state institution for the insane. Those attending the conference from G. II. S. were John Foster, Kenneth Church, Leon Fespermau, Louis Brooks, Otis Phillips, Harvey Anderson, J. Barnes, Bert Eldridge, G. W. Stumper, and Jlr. Frank Warner.

Among the volumes published by Miss Millay are: “A Few Figs from Thistles,” “Second April,” “Aria Da Capa,” “The Lamp and the Bell,” and “The Buck in the Snow.” John Van Alstyne Weaver, native writer, who was to have been in the city Thursday, cancelled all eastern en gagements, and Miss Millay came; instead.

MEETING Tells Ways by Which Parents and Teachers Can Make Fine Boys and Girls A. CATE AND H. CONE PLAY SOLOS For the third time this semester the Parent-Teacher Association of Greens boro High School held its regular meet ing Tuesday evening, December 4, in the high school auditorium. Mrs. S. O. Lindeman, president of tlie association, presided. The speaker for the evening was Miss Fannie Starr Mitchell, dean of girls of the high school. “Our Girls” was the subject discussed by Miss Mitchell. She told the parents and teachers that one of the best ways in which they could help the students would be for the teachers to let them know that the teachers and parents are working in perfect harmony. She outlined a number of ways in which the parents and teachers by working together would be able to make the finest possible boys and girls, and in the future the finest men and women. Elizabeth Boyst and I^eila George Cram, at the request of Miss Mitchell, told the association of the significance of the Girls’ Council and girls’ ath letics as they exist in the high school. Mr. C. W. Phillips, superintendent of Greensboro city schools, addressed the Monarch Club at a weekly meet ing on December 10. The meeting was held at 1 o’clock at the King Cotton Hotel which was in the form of a luncheon. In his talk Mr. Phillips dis cussed the affairs of the school. Mr. Shepard Had Regular Christmas Spread While He Stayed in Chateau in Toul It always seems hard to spend Christ* mas away from home, and it must have been doubly bard for the boys of America who risked life and safety in order that democracy might be pre served, and that France might become free. Many thousands of our boys did this, among whom were two members of the Greensboro High School faculty, Mr. Stanley Johnson and Mr. Carlyle Shepard. Neither had a Christmas at the front, but they were in France after the armistice was signed, and were still with their companies. Mr. Johnson was in the city of Amiens during the holidays, and although they didn’t have any special services, or any stock ings, they had a specially prepared dinner of goose, with trimmings, plus the contents of boxes from America, which had been sent to the various boys. “From the mess fund we went out and bought enough geese to feed 250 men, and along with our goose we had orange marmalade, biscuit, potatoes, rice, gravy, butter, or rather oleomar garine which was issued by the gov ernment, cheese, evaporated milk for our coffee, and cakes,” said Mr. John son in speaking of the Christmas feast. Mr. Shepard was at the town of Poiit-a-Moussou, on the Mozelle river, and stayed at a large “farmhouse,” as some people called it, but the soldiers called it a “chateau’’ because of its great size. “We obtained our supplies for our Christmas dinner at the little town of Toul, and while we were buy ing, we bought! For dinner we had ' turkey and cranberry sauce, and ex’ery- tbiug that goes with it. For our din ing room, we had a large hall, with mahogany tables. It was a good set ting for such a meal, but as we were eating from our aluminum mess kits, it seemed rather incongruous. “Although I wasn’t at the front dur ing Christmas holidays, I am sure that Christmas day was like any other day to the soldiers, because while we were at the front, Sunday was like any ordi nary fighting day,” said Mr. Johnson. “While we were in France, we found that the Salvation Army was the thing that appealed to all of the soldiers the most. The Jewish welfare board was a great help, esijecially in the enter tainments that they put on for the boys. The Knights of Columbus also did a good work.” G. C. KINGSBURY GIVES DEMONSTRATIONS HERE Appears Before Commercial Students in Auditorium-~Emphasizes Rhythm as He Types on Royal Typewriter Mr. G. C. Kingsbury, speed typist of the Royal Typewriter Company, gave a series of demonstrations before the commercial classes in the high school auditorium on Thursday, November 22, at the seventh period. Mr. Kingsbury used a stock machine of the Royal Typewriter Company and also a Royal from the typing room. He emphasized rhythm, giving the same amount of time to each key as to the previous one. He said that rhythm might be gained In the class room by xyriting slowly at first, by taking frequent tests, and by maintain ing accuracy at all times. He empha sized a quick change of paper and a swift carriage return. Mr. Kingsbury’s material was straight copy, his tests were one minute or one- half minute in duration.
