mony Class to Be Given
Friday.
The program Friday was in charge
of Joe Johnson. On that l^ay a play
was presented by Olga Kellum and
Elizabeth Ijeake, students in Mr. John
son’s dramatic class. Those taking part
in the play were Jane Crabtree, Billye
llobgood, and Katrine Smith. The play
show'ed that the actresses and actor
had practiced and they portrayed their
parts well. It was enjoyed very much
by the student body.
On Wednesday, March 19, Mrs. II. T.
Canfield, of Greensboro, entertained the
students during the chapel program
with an interesting talk on “The Great
Artists and Writers I Have Known.’
Since Mrs. Canfield has a personal ac
quaintance with many celebrities, her
talk was veiy interesting.
On Wednesday the 26th, the high
school will be the meeting place for
many representatives of different girls’
colleges. They will be here all that
morning so any girl who wishes to find
out about the college she is planning
to go to, may see them any time that
morning. The representatives will lunch
in our cafeteria and that afternoon in
chapel will address the girls only. The
subjects of their talks will be their
different schools.
The following Friday’s program will
be devoted to creative music. Mr.
Miller, head of the music departmeht
and instructor in Theory and Harmony
will have charge of the program. Since
the organization of the Theory and
Harmony class not long ago, the pupils
have been working on original music.
On Friday the chance to show what
they have done will be given them
The band will play several original com
positions that have been written by
members of the Theory and Harmony
class.

Art Classes
The work of Miss Lee’s art classes for
last semester and the present semester
have ben outstanding in many ways.
According to Miss Lee, the pupils re
veal a great tendency toward landscape
painting, sketching, and portrait ren
derings. Several cover designs for
“Homespun” rave been submitted by
members of these classes. Effective dec
oration work has been exhibited at ban
quets and other school socials. Special
attention has been given to the exhibit
ing of attractive work in the adminis-
Miss Lee says that members of these
art classes have also showm an interest
in art contests. The participation in
the Carolina Theatre’s poster contest, in
which several students won tickets, was
large. This month several textile de
signs, made by student, have been sent
for competition in an international scho
lastic contest.
Miss Lee entertains hopes for even
better art work in future for the Senior
High School.
The junior class is now moving for
ward rapidly with plans for the next
junior-senior. This event, probably the
most outstanding social event of this
semester, will be held sometime in the
latter part of this semester.
At a class meeting sometime ago,
it was decided that Rigdon Dees should
remain president from the past semes
ter. The other officers that were elected
were Mack Heath, vice-president, and
chairman of the junior-senior; Anna
Wills, secretary; aiid John Gunter,
treasurer.
An executive committee, composed of
the class officers and at least dne rep
resentative from each session room, has
met several times with Miss Tillett
making plans.
The committees are: arrangement,
Katherine Williams, chairman; Polly
Moore, Charles Shaffer and Abbott
Whitney; program, Anna Wills, chair
man, Mary Phillips, Annie Starr Burch,
Manie Leake Parsons, and Edwin Holt;
decoration, Susanne Ketchum, chair
man, Grace Hobbs, Shelby Fitzgerald,
Frank Causey, and Lynw^ood Burnett;
transportation, Angela Patterson, chair
man, Elizabeth Leftw'ich, Clary Holt,
and John Nutt; finance, John Gunter,

Chemistry Class Makes Tour
The third period class of W. H. Blair
made a tour of the local gas plant at
their regular class period last Monday.
The trip is the culmination of a study
of illuminating and water gases.
The class observed the first phase of
of the preparation of illuminating gases
by destructive distillation of coal. Here
the firemen won the admiration of the
students by their shoveling of the coal.
The instructor conducted the class to
eyery part of the plant, even to the
bad-smelling tar well.
In the water gas plant almost every
one took a “scare” when the top of a
furnace was opened, followed by an ex
plosion, particularly noisy.
Finally, the class decided the plant
was operated satisfactorily.

Life Insurance—
Time was when few peojple
insured their lives until they
began to assume the respon
sibilities of the breadwinner.
Then came the realization
that the purchase of life in
surance at younger ages
meant a reduction in the .pre-'
miums paid.
Now it is possible for chil
dren to secure the benefits of
life protection at remarkably
low rates.
And when the time arrives
when they too assume the re
sponsibilities of a breadwin
ner, that early an investment
may prove the foundation-
stone for their own financial
structure.
