Nature Happenings By Field Study Class Whence the Poinsettia? We have seen the poinsettia for so many years at Christmas time that we do not stop to think that perhaps our great-grandfathers did not have it. About one hundred years ago our first minister to Mexico was Joel Rob erts Poinsett. While in Mexico he discovered a piant known as “Painted Leaf” which he brought to the atten tion of botanists. It was discovered that the flaming red bracts were leaves instead of flowers. These bracts may also be grown pink or white, but the red is more popular. It carries out the Christmas color scheme. We owe our thanks for this beautiful plant to Poinsett, after whom it was i.amed. Preserving Our Christmas Greens At this time of year there is a nation wide demand for Christmas decora tions such as holly, firs, mountain laurel, etc. The holly is in most serious danger of being destroyed. The red berries are grown only on female trees; they are the ones that are largely cut. In most case.s The whole tree is sacrificed to such an extent that it soon dies. The. holly trees left are mainly male -find non- berry-bearing. At the Present rate of cutting, their days ay-fe numbered. Why not use an .firtificial substitute for your ChriFjtinas decorations this year, since • thi^ ;e are so many substi tutes on the market. Let's help save our holly trees?» Choop/ing Our National Flower The American Nature Association and other nature societies are trying to fiPcl a national flower for the United States. All attempts to create a na tional flower by either legislation or popular vote has failed. Yet there are some restrictions as to what the flower should be, which are as follows: “It must bloom in all parts of the United States. It must be available at all times of the year. It must be popular with all and symbolic of the nation. It must be suitable for emblems and designs. It must radicate tradi tion and history through its past as sociations with creators and developers of land.” Miss Nellie Dry’s nature study class is interested in this campaign and cer tain students have certain flowers which he will tell about. Then there will be taken a vote to see which is liked best in the room. THEMES (A parody on Joyce Kilmer’s “Trees”) I think that I shall never dream A thing as awful as a theme, A theme whose maddening titles pass Before me in a jumbled mass; A theme that looks at me all week And often haunts me in my sleep; A theme that may all year engage A group of “Sp’s” for each page, Upon whose margin commas lie, And other marks that never dye. Rhymes are made by folks that dream, But only a teacher can write a theme. ""shoes they talk ABOtr^ 'TM4 C. H.

H. S. Students MARY OMOHUNDRO SINGS Miss Fannie Starr Mitchell Gives ‘Charming” Vocal Selection to the Delight of Her Audience The Torchlight Society of the high school is not merely an honorary one, neither is it purely seriousness, which can be testified by all of the members. The last meeting of the society was held in the cafeteria of the high school on Tuesday, December 11. The meet- : was a musical one and was in charge of Carl Jones, chairman of the program coniniittee. Before the prDf^»*:i,m held, a short business st;'ssioii was conducted by the pre?,’.dent, Maiy Baily ‘Williams. By a unanimous decision the members voted to have a social soon after the holidays. This will be arranged by the social committee. The first number on the program was a vocal solo by Mary Quill Omo- hundro, a member of the society. She was accompanied at the piano by Frances Burch. According to the members of the society, Elizabeth Boyst played a piano solo very successfully, considering the piano. The music had to be held on the piano, and because several keys persisted in sticking, Carl Jones and Mary Baily Williams had to pull up the stubborn key. Probably the most delightful number on the program, by popular opinion, was the solo sung by Miss Fannie Starr Mitchell, the faculty adviser. She said that she sang it exactly as it was taught her, and then in a whiuy nasal voice she sang of her desire to be a sparrow, and fly up in the air. Before she got through, some of the listeners wanted her wish fulfilled. The Friendship Girl Reserve Club of Bessemer High School held a recogni tion service for the new members Sun day night, November 25, at the Besse mer school building, with Miss Helen Sterne, faculty adviser of the club, directing the program.

ALUMNI WRITE FOR U.N.C. MAGAZINE J. D. McNairy, John Mebane, and Glenn Holder Contribute to November Issue REGULAR CONTRIBUTORS FIAPVER FANNIE Flapper Fannie flaps no more, But in destruction sleeps; While all alone Miss Tillett sighs, And for poor Fannie weeps. Until a Packard loomed near, She was much alive; But it took her with it down the street A-making fifty-five. Our lady gathered up the wreck; I’oor l^annie was no more. The Packard stole away a wheel And took along the door. Rut Miss Tillett has no remains To remind her of yore; She only weeps a silent tear, 'Cause Fannie flaps no more. The Cavaliers have made their ap pearance in Greensboro, in the form of a club which has recently been or ganized in Greensboro.
