Routh Outlines Many Advantages En
joyed by Student Body If Budget
Plan Goes Through.
A proposition is being offer to the
student body of Greensboro senior
high school unlike any in its history.
This proposition is: that if every mem
ber of the student body supports the
budget system each will be entitled to
seeing every event of G. II. S. for the
mere sum of $2.50.
The events included are all the foot
ball games, basketball games, all ath
letic events, the three plays which are
to be presented by the dramatics de
partment, “The Purple and Gold Re
vue,” the opera, and subscriptions to
both Homespun and High Life.
This budget system which is being
presented to G. H. S. has been worked
out and a per event basis by four
teachers and four students of G. H. S.
It was discovered, after much work,
that if a student should attend every
event of the school and also subscribe
to both magazine and paper that it
would make a total cost of $21.50. This
makes each thing approximately three
and a fraction cents.
Reasons for System
The main reasons which were given
by A. P. Routh, head of the budget
system, are these: (1) that it is good
business because it is a good saving;
(2) that Greensboro high school will
know exactly where slie stands from
the viewpoint of money; (3) the assur
ance of an audience at every presen
tation; (4) a larger circulation of both
Homespun and High Life; (5) there
will be more attending the athletic
games, and (0) that the school board
has cut the budget system f
schools, therefore something must be
Needs Co-operation
It is going to take the entire co-op
eration of the student body if the
budget system goes across, but big
hopes and expectations exist.
There was not time for an open dis
cussion of the subject Wednesday
morning in chapel, but time will be
taken for it soon.
Student Council Gives Program
The student council had charge of
the chapel this morning and before the
explanation of the budget system there
was a short program. After the de
votional by Rigdon Dees, who read the
ninth chapter of Proverbs, dealing with
wisdom, H. Grady Miller led the stu
dents in school songs.
Charles Hagan Talks
Charles Hagan gave a brief talk
the rules and regulations of the school
and then told his intentions of appoint
ing the following committees: (1)
traffic committee, which will determine
whether or not Greensboro high school
needs any traffic rules, and if so, what
kind? (2) a scholarship committee,
(3) a building committee, which will
allow no student to enter the building
before 8:.35 in the mornings and to let
no student in during lunch hour. (4) a
lost and found committee, which will
have charge of the department
supply shop, (5) a grounds committee,
which will-see thta no one sits in his
cars on the street during lunch, (6) a
point system committee.
Kate Wilkins Speaks
Kate Wilkins, president of the Girls’
Council, gave- a talk on the point sys
tem, wherein she said that the purpose
of it was to keep one person from do
ing too much extra-curricula work and
to give others a chance of holding some
offices. No G. H, S. student is allowed
more than fifteen points and can only
be president of one organization. She
also said that a student could belong
to only two of these clubs: Hi-Y, Dra
matics, Debating, and Girl Reserves.

Miss Cole said one of the most inter
esting places which she visited in Strat-
ford-on-Avon was the birthplace
Shakespeare, which has since been
turned into a museum. Only one piece
of Shakespeare’s furniture remains, and
that is his school desk. Around the old
liome is every kind of flower that
Shakespeare mentioned in any of his
“North Carolina” will probably
be the theiBie of all the issues of
Homespun this year. This was dis
cussed oil Wednesday afternoon
when the staff met for deciding on
a theme. There were various sub
jects suggested, including travej,
muses, the Greek gods, hobbies, and
romance.
If the theme of “North Carolina”
is decided upon for “Homespun”
liad for its tlieme “Greensboro.”
Tins issue, when criticized, w.as un
usually good. Therefore the
“Homespun” staff feels that if they
give the students a topic to write
on which they know a great deal
aliont, that they can write better.

several electric niacliiiios.
In the machine room there are three

Mr. Cobb is very well satisfied at the

The executive staff of the G. H. S.
debating dull liad an important meet-
ng Thursday, September 11, with Mr.

staff tliat met was composed of Edwin
Holt, president; Clary Holt, vice-presi
dent; Edward Cone, secretary and treas
urer; and Maek Heath, who is sergeant-
at-arms.
At this meeting plans were made for
the first regular assembly of the de
liating club. It was planned that the
club will fli-st bo addressed liy its presi
dent, Edwin Holt, Tii his talk it
tlinuglit that his main idea will be the
outlining of the aims for the year’
work. He will also stress the reaponsi-
liility placed on each individual mem
ber of the club. After this tlie execu-
staff appointed the following com-
.‘cs: program committee, social
committee, membership committee, pub.
licify committee, and the inter-scholas
tic committee.
Edwin carefully outlined the duties
of each committee, and told wliat is
•xpeete'd of each.
Another thing discussed by the staff
vns that of taking care of the new
sophomoi'os. It was decided that this
matter be left open for the debating
club to discuss and decide on some defi
nite plan.
More than likely; due to the fact that
lere are so many second classmen, a
new club will have to be formed. A spe-
1 committee has been appointed to
■csfjgatc as to the number of stu
dents interested in debating. A cam
paign is being started sponsored by the
liiglish teachers. The staff also worked
out a debating schedule. From the ad
viser it was learned that the debaters’

PARENT-TEACHER STAFF
MAKES PLANS FOR YEAR
Freiburg’s “Passion Play," sponsored
liy the First Preslij-teriaii church school,
will be presented for the first time in
Greenslioro Monday night, September
22. This will be the first of the eight
performances which are to be presented.
In 1264 the inhabitants of Freiburg,
Germany, first presented the Passion
Plaj'. They have given it periodically
ill Freiburg since that that, as
ill nearly every city in Europe.
The men and women of the middle
ages believed that the Devil could
ifest himself physically, They
as certain of liis ahility to materialize
as tbej' were of the miraculous power
of the Saints, Superstitions, both good
and evil, pla.ved a treinendous role
tlioir lives. All the phenomena of
ture left them in wonderment. Life
was not to lie explained. The Devil
was the c.arnal lord of the earth and
lurked in eacli dark shadow, waiting for
a victim. The spiritual fortre
the Cliurcli and they turned to the
priests for assistance when they con
sidered their souls in danger.
A town, such as Freiburg, was Tioth
strong and weak; strong in its defense
from lieseigers, but weak in fear of the
haunt of Satan, the dense green mass of
tlie Black Forest, which they could see
from their homes. Repeated tales of
horror from out of the woods deeiienecl
their fear. A.s earlj' as 1264 the worthy
priests of Freiburg augmented as cere
monies of tlio ('hurcli with a symbolical
stoi'j' of the life of Christ. The towns
folk flocked to this primitive form of
the draiimtization of the life of Christ.
It gave them spirited stamina with
which to withstand the fear of the un-
vn tliat surrounded them. The
•ds became more dense within the
cathedrals. Chiist’s power no longer
•ed stories retold hy word and
gesture. It would thus seem that the
Passion Play was born in the Church
in response to a vorj- definite need.
The Freiburg Passion Play was en
acted many j-cars before any script was
provided. The two oldest manuscripts
in Freiburg, Germany, consist of 61
pages dated in 1955 and 1644, respec
tively. In the script of 1044, the scenes
depicting the defeat of the devil are
not to lie found.
Although originally presented with
deep religious feeling about 1700, the
redigious urge as a community event

Meet With Club Presidents in Attempt
to Prevent Conflicting Dates
for Meetings.
There was a meeting of advisers and
presidents of all the different organi
zations of the school yesterday, Sep
tember 18. Mr. Phillips and Miss
Mitchell, dean of girls, met with them
Mr, Phillips’ office. The main pur
pose was to fix their meeting schedule
since much confusion could be caused
by not knowing just when and where
their meetings would be held. The
following organizations were repre
sented as follows:
Debating club with Mr, Farthing as
supervisor. Ilomeapuii represented liy
Miss Tillett; High I.ifp, Mrs.' f’oltrane;

has lost its original purpose. An aiiees- '
tor of Adolf Fasanaeht, the present
Christus, watched a pujipet jiresentation
of the ploy in 1760. He became angry
at such lack of reverence shown so sa
cred tradition. In the same year lie
offered a petition to the town council
of Freiburg, asking permission to re
produce this age-old drama with the
reverence and depth of feeling which
would accomplish its original purpose.
His request was granted, aud he, and
his faniity assumed responsibility for
the revival of tlie ancient drama. Since
then, tradition decrees that “The Chris-
tua” be portra.vod by the oldest direct
male descendant of the family. Under
this tradition, Adolf Fassnaeht now
portr.aj's the role, and has done so for
the last 26 years.
In 1921 more than 60.000 Americans
witnessed the play in Freiburg, Ger-
manj". Multiplied thousitnds, who could
not go to German.v, wanted the play to
come to America so tliat they might see
it. The players expected to return to
Germ.aiiy direct from St. .Joseph, but
because of popular demand, have re
mained iu the United States.
Regardless of religion, sect or creed,
this story’s appeal is as wide as human
nature, and with offense to non, as it
the traditional Bilde stnrj-.
The production is colossal, with hun
dreds of people participating, a thou

Bowl at Saint Josepli, Missouri, in Au
gust, 1928. In eight evenings, more
than 100,000 people paid admissions.
They next visited St. I^uis, wnore, in
eight performances, more tlian 80,000
people attended.
The play liegins with a jirologue de
picting Adam and Eve in the Garden
and the Fall of Man. This i.s followed
hy a taMeau of the Glorification of the
f'ro.s.s, The great drama of the Passion
of Ohrist closes witli the Resurrection,
and the singing of the mighty “Ilallo-
lujah Phoru.s” from the “Messiah,”
The completion of tliis American tour
will add another great triumph to the
world tour of Adolf Fassnaeht’s famous
Freiburg Passion Play, which has been
presented in Belgium, Switzerland, Hol
land. France. Italy, Austria, Hungary,
and Spain, thus carrying out the life
purpose of Mr. Fassnaeht to present
this beautiful historical Biblical play to
tlio world.
In this production tiiere are 250 char
acters, a 100-voiee choir, a symphony
orchestra, .and 1,000 costumes. Also
about 20 boys were chosen from the
glee club by II, Grady Miller Tuesday
morning to sing minor part.s in the
choir. Mr. Miller did this by request
of tlie company presenting the play.
Tliere will be a children’s matinee on
Wednesday, when all school children
will be admitted for fifty cents. Teach
