March 29, 1929 HIGH LIFE Page Three PRESS ASSOCIATION TO MEET IN MAY AT W. & L UNIVERSITY Newspaper Men to Address the Delegates—To Hold Open Forum Discussion TO AWARD TWELVE CUPS Newspaper to Be Published Same Eve ning of Meeting—Will Cover All Activities of Association The Southern Interscholastic Press Association at Washington and Lee University, Lexington, Va., is to be held May 10-11. This association was organized at this college three years ago to promote a short course for journalistic students of high schools. Annually newspaper men address the assembled delegates and also hold an open forum discussion. Educational value and entertainment are combined in the closing banquet of the S. I. P. A. This year twelve silver loving cups will be awarded to the four classes of schools publishing the best newspaper, magazine, and yearbook that enters at the university. For the delegates that enter and make the highest grades in the individual merit contest, books by Southern authors will be awarded. The prizes are to be given to the winners at the feature banquet May 11. Every adviser and delegate is invited as a; guest to this entertainment. A newspaper is going to be published this same evening which will cover all of the activities of the evening. This paper will be printed on the banquet floor and will have some connection with the publication of the first Vir ginia newspaper, The Virginia Gazette. The talks for the evening will be by the leading Southern speakers. !Mr. Ellard said, “We would espe cially like to assemble a group of high school journalism teachers this year. An exchange of ideas on mutual prob lems might prove very helpful.” The Greensboro High School will send delegates, but these have not been chosen. An exchange of ideas will be afforded to all those attending. High School Buzz, Hutchinson, Kansas A senior stood on the railroad track, A train was coming fast. The train got off the railroad track, And let the senior pass. The A7tou‘, published by Creston III, Creston, Iowa, is a new paper that is just starting off. We like the things that you are giving in “The Column.” We wish you success. We congratulate the Lincoln High School on the fact that they have sev eral pupils to be proud of. Paul Benco won a trip to Washington where he attended the inauguration of President Hoover. Bessie Cole deserves com mendation on her editorial winning nationwide recognition. We know that you are proud of an alumnus leading the band in the presidential inaugura tion procession. The Painlicoan, Washington, N. C. You have a feature on the front page of your publication March, 1929, which is very bad. Many articles, we find, are editorialized and some w’rit- ten in first person. Profit by your mistakes! Members of the student body will be given an opportunity to name a candidate for president of the stu dent body for next year at a mass meeting April 5. At that time two names proposed by a committee from the council will be presented to the students and nominees from the floor will be made. The preliminary contest between High Point and Greensboro debaters will be staged then at the Carolina theater. Before that time the nomi nations will be held, and probably the next week the third candidate will be decided upon. Miss Sara Lesley, student council adviser, asks the students to begin thinking about possible candidates and to start campaigning early. HARD-BOILED? Our hero. Mr. Hicks, had just finished his lunch and was enjoying the cool breezes on G. II. S.’s campus when Henry approached him from the rear. It so hfippened that Henry had in cluded in his lunch for the day a nice, big, brown, hard-boiled egg which had been cooked for him to the finest degree of perfection. Henry lacked the proper place upon which to crack that delicious egg, but spying Mr. Hicks’ well-groomed cranium he decided this was the ideal place for such a task. A slight movement of the arm, a crash—that egg was broken ,and from within poured forth its contents of white and yellow all over our hero’s curly locks. From the next period our illustrious Mr. •Hicks and Henry were both absent when class convened. Moral: Never crack uncertain boiled eggs over the heads of hot-tempered pupils of our school. The Cuh Reporter, Manhasset, N. Y. Why not leave out the box around “Cardinal Objectives.” It looks like a mourning box; also the one by the “Health Teacher.” We find several grammatical mistakes in sentence struc ture. Try to improve! We like the editorial entitled “Trees.” Nature Happenings By Fiei.d Study Class Sparrow The sparrow is a bird that every one knows. His color is a dirty white and brown. The male is distinguished from the female by a black bib under his throat. Its length is C.33 inches. This bird was introduced to America in 1850 and has spread to all parts of the -ountry, driving out the native sparrows, wrens, martins, bluebirds and even mocking birds, and replacing their songs with its continual strident chirpings. It rears three or four brood in a season, building in any available place, proving a pest about buildings. The eggs are from ve to seven, usually white and finely marked with olive. It is said that a progeny of a single pair of sparrows might amount to 275,710,983,098 in ten years. TWO LOCAL WOMEN TALK TO G.H.S. GIRLS Miss Mary Mayes Talks on In surance, Miss Nell Craig on Newspaper Work EMPHASIZE PREPARATION Miss Mary Mayes, local business woman, and Miss Nell Craig, member of the staff of the Gi'eeyishoro Daily Record, spoke to the G. 11. S. girls March 20 at chaiiel period. Miss Mayes talked on insurance as a profession for women. She declared that every job requires just as much education as one can get. “I'repara- tion and foundation,” said Miss Mayes, “are essential to successful achievement in any field of work.” Women excel in insurance business because accuracy and efficiency are vital to the work. Insurance work is honorable, useful, and profitable. The speaker described these qualities in her career in detail. She said, in ciosing, that every one, if he makes a success, must like his job and have the utmost faith in it. Miss Nell Craig told of a woman’s career in the newspaper world. She, too, emphasized the importance of care ful preparation, saying that every re- liorter should have a college education. General information is a vital char acteristic of a newspaper woman. Miss Craig declared. If a girl is entering newspaper work, she should above all things never be .sensitive when criticised; she should have a healthy curiosity. “Whatever profession you choose, iris, remember aiways to cherish your effemininity as your greatest asset,” Miss Craig advised in compieting her talk. ; Miss Fannie Starr Mitchell presided at chapel. She announced the presen tation of “As You Like It” by Greens boro College players, and “Two Crooks and a Lady” by G. I-I. S. Miss Mitchell also announced that the triangle de baters would have the formal argu ment at the Carolina theatre April 12. The entire school will hear the debaters. A Peculiar Creature What animal carries its house on its back and has eyes on the ends of its horns? This peculiar animal is the snail. The snail has a shell on his back and this is his home. On the two horns on the snail’s head are his eyes. The snail travels on his stomach, and when he is tired or attacked he draws his body into his shell. The greater number of snails are marine; that is, they live in salt water. There are also snails that live on land and fresh water. The tongue of the snail is made of a very strong structure. It enables him to cut and bore his way through soft rock. The snail, if he breaks his shell, can give off a fluid that mends it. This fluid is at first very sticky but soon hardens into a part of the sheli. The above is just a short history of a natural freak that is a close neighbor to us all. Ivy the Demon Poison ivy ranks in a class by itself when it comes to making life miserable for the camper, hiker, or whoever it may be that comes in contact with it. The ivy is a very respectable looking plant as long as it is viewed from a distance, but here we must go to the old maxim. “Handsome is as hand some does,” which eliminates Mr. P. Ivy, for he is the most rascally in habitant of the plant world. The ivy gets in his work by means of a kind of oil which is secreted on its leaves. Any one who comes in contact with the leaves has this oil left on his person. This oil causes the blisters. Due to his devastating work, the poison ivy is truly named the demon plant. DEBATING COACHES TO MEET IN WINSTON The Drummer of the Woods The family of woodpeckers has sev eral outstanding characteristics. His bill is shaped as a wedge or chisel, and is used both as a tool for working and as a musical instrument. The tongue is remarkably long and is spear-tipped. The muscles which control it make the tongue an ideal weapon for getting in sects from the tree. The tail feathers are stiff, brisk, and pointed at the end. Witli birds the tall is used as a rudder and balancer while perching. The woodpesker's tail, however, serves as his supp’ort. The arrangement of the toes is very peculiar. There are two toes directed forward and two back ward, and each is armed with a strong curved nail which enables him to re tain a hold on the upright trunk of a tree. The woodpecker is thus equipped with a drumstick, a set of “climbers,” a support or brace, a chisel, and a spear —by no means a poor outfit for a bird. -4-^ “MUSIE” IS DEAD Musie,” the little white rat which was rescued from the hungry rattlers at the museum in Raleigh by Miss Dry’s nature class, died March 14, 1929, after having spent two weeks in the private sanitarium of Lee Kernodle. “Musie’s’’ death comes as a shock to his many friends who feted him as a young hero.

How dull it is to pause, To make an end. To rust uuburnished Not to shine in use!
