football letter this season, though it
was his third year of play. When he
came over to high school, in 1927, he
reported for football and played in
every game up until the first champion

ball men reached out and seized him.
He did not remain eligible after the
first report period. Last season and this

the games. Jack is one of the best
ends in the conference and was named
on several all-star selections. He is
power on the offense, his pass catching

IN THREE NEGRO BOYS
Three young negro boys, Cornelius,
Dine years of age, Stephen, six, and
James Clark, eight, have been offered
^ chance to sing on Broadway.
Their natural music talent was dls-
wvered by Harry Carroll and his
brother, who were at the Carolina thea
tre, recently, singing at negro spirituals
on the streets Sunday, November 23.
The Carroll brothers agreed. “That’s
big time stuff.” On Monday, November
24, the Clark brothers appeared at the
Carolina, their program was entirely
successful.
Cornelius Clark, the boys’ father, and
bis wife, are givii^ serious thought to
the offer. If it is accepted, the boys
will receive a combined salary of $100
a week.
They will begin their professional
Mgements at the Palace Theatre in
New York.
It was suggested that in view of the
•■eligious convictions of the boys’ par
ents, nothing but negro spirituals are to
b^ included in the numbers on the stage.

Get Extra Credit
As .
gesture of approval to the
Boy Scout program, G. B. Phillips
has announced that any boy scout
who has passed the tests which are
required to attain the rank of eagle
scout, may claim one full elective
credit in high school. Boys who are
qualified and wish the credit, may
obtain it at any time by applying at
the office.
Life scouts come under the same
award to the extent of one-half
credit, and star scouts may claim
one-fourth credit for their scout
Several boys have received their
points for scout rank, but not nearly
so many as are qualified for them
have applied.

MUSIC DEPARTMENT
PRESENTS OPERA
WITH DUAL CAST
Allen Stanley and Livingston
Williams in Leading Roles;
Well Received.
NEW TALENT DISCOVERED
Tho Greensboro high sehool music de
partment presented the opera, "Buddi-
gore,” Friday, December 5. A matinee
and evening performance were given
under the direction ,.1 H. Grady Mil
ler, assisted by J. H. Johnson. This was
the fifth Gilbert and Sullivan opera to
be presented and the seventh annual
opera of the high sehool.
The main character, and the hero,
as taken in the afternoon hy Living
ston Williams.- This was Livingston’s
first leading role and he gave a very
fine performance. He was exceptionally
good in the finale of the first act apd
the Chorus of Ancestors in the sec
ond act.
Allen Stanley gave a sincere perforni-
ice at the night presentation. He has
splendid voice and tho audience re
acted very favorably toward his por
trayal of Robin Oakapple.
Carlton Raper and Jim Applewhite
e entirely new talent and both acted
like seasoned veterans. Carlton, who
played in the forenoon, has a magnetic
stage personality and won the audience
by his amusing portrayal of the cocky
Richard Dauntless. Jim Applewhite
has a very good voice and great things
are expected of him in future operas.
Sir Despard Murgatroyd was played
by L. H. Dunivent and John Ademy, aft-
on and night, respectively. Both of
these boys have the advantage of previ-
opera experience and carried their
parts successfully.
Frank Tye and Tonf Hopkins in the
role of Adam Goodheart gave creditable
performances in a minor role.
The part of Bose Maybud, the hero-
0, was taken by Martha Nell Carson
the afternoon. She has a very petite
personality and a clear soprano voice.
She gave a true representation of the
dainty heroine.
Lois Lazenby, in the same role at
night, was outstanding. Lois has taken
the leads in four operas and is one of
G. H. S.’s best actresses.
Mad Margaret, portrayed by Helen
Sutton at the matinee, was one of the
hardest roles in the opera and Helen
put the most into it. Her actions were
exceptionally good. Ethel Grey Rogers
at night performed her part well.
Damo Hannah, sung by Helen Priteh-
'd in the afternoon, was especially ef
fective. Clara Applewhite, in the same
role at night, gave a splendid perform-

Zorah and Ruth, professional brides
maids, were played by Beverly Reaves
and Lucy Neal, Brooks. Both carried
their parts well and were well received
by the audience. Beverly Burgess and
Irene Coe at night were very gooh. Bev.
erly Burgess, portraying Zorah, was
quite good.
All these splendid performances were
made possible by the co-operation of
the choruses. They proved an effective
background for the presentation of the
i characters.

old tasks. During these happy
days, however, they live and sleep
as late as they want to. Then

Purpose of This Plan Is to Keep In

Former Students.
“December 31 will be a big day for

that day. There is to be a guest book
tho foyer of the mffiu building in
which they will be asked to write their
names; this book will be kept for ref
erences and for use on the next home
coming day.
Special invitations have been written
by Mr, Phillips to the presidents of the
graduating classes since he has been
principal here and letters to some of
the other graduates telling them of the
home-coming day. In this way it ia
hoped that the news will be spread and
all the old students will come.
The ehnpcl program will be one in
which the' ulumni will participate.
Harry Buice, student at N. C. State,
and Matilda Robinson, of N. C. C. W„
will spoak at that time on the neces
sary preparations for entering college.
Following this, Artindo Cate, accom

JUNIORS AND SENIORS
GET NEW CLASS RINGS
Students Soom to Like New Design Bet
ter Than the Older One—Old
Ring Entirely Gold.
NEW SET CONTAINS AN AMETHYST
All students of the sixth semester
and up, were able to receive their school
rings last Saturday, if they had paid
their first deposits. The coat of the
ring is six dollars and fifty cents each.
The main difference between the new
ring and the one formerly used by
the graduates of G. II. S. is that the
new ring has an amethyst and the old
ring was entirely gold. On one side of
the new ring is an engraving of the
school, and on the other side is thi
school emblem. Around the stone an
the words, “Greensboro High School.’
The color sclieme of the new ring works
well, the amethyst being purple and
the ring of yellow gold, the school
colors.
General opinion seems to lean toward
the new rings as the proper thing
it is thought that this will be
copied as the permanent ring of the
school, a settlement which will from
now on identify G. H. S. graduates
from all others.
The old ring was made by Schiffmann
Jewelry Company, but when the
tract was turned over to the Carolina
Jewel Manufacturing Company they
changed the style of the ring.

Raleigh, Dee. 18.—One sectiou of the
Eduentioiial commlssloii’a repo r t,'
which has just come from the press,
deals with the size of ndmiiilstratlve
•hool units and their possible reiliie-
tion in number by reorgniilzution.
Tallies are presented showing the or
ganization and enrollment of the
hnols for the scholastic year 1929-30.
There were aeeordiug to this rejwrt,
195 Independent units in operation dur
ing that year, 100 county sj’stems and
■hartor or city systems. The-se sys
tems varied greatly in enrolliueut. Of
the city systems, there were (50 with an
enrollment of less than 2,000 pupils.
Of tlu‘ county systems, there were
seven having ciiroilments of less than
2(H). Seventeen counties nnd five cities
each have an enrollment of more than
10,000 pupils. The remaining systems
are distributed between these two ex
tremes.
The commission recommends in Bill
No. I, which It submits for tbe con
sideration of the General Assembly,
that all charters having enrollments of
less than 2.0(X) pupils should be made
jiarts of the county system, and thereby
reduce the number of administrative
units in the state from lO.") to J29.
-Vccordlhg to the pre.seiit organization
:’7.2 per cent of the charter enrollment
is in systems having (1,000 pupils or

If the 00 systems linviiig fewer than

DECISION IS TWO TO ONE
Query Concerns the Cabinet Parliamen.
tary System of Government for
the United States.
Three outstanding High Point de
baters uiiholding the negative' side of
the (picstion, made a .successful visit
liere Welncsdny, December 10, being
two to one in their favor. G. II. S.
aliirmatlve backers were: A. C. Holt.
Goldie Goss. Henry Nan, Winfred
Cliiiard. Dorothy Bowen, and Ramon
Royal rciirc.sciited the Pointers. Edwin
Holt presided over the debate while
Dick Cauii acted as time keeper. Doc
tor Caulleld. Mr, Tambl.vn. and Ml.ss
lA’nn tNirawbridge were the judges.
The query discussed was "Resolved
that the United States should adopt
ilic (.’abiiict Parliamentary system of
government."
The iKiliits brought out by the atllrm-
ativi
1. There is a need for a change in
the government of the United States lii
order to correct its defects.
2. The Cabinet Parliamentary sys
tem is more desirable than that of the
U. 8. becuxise it is more efiicleiil and
more democratic.
The points for the negative were:
1. To adopt the proimsed system
would be unwise because it would de-
sfroytbe division of powers and the
(ruly representative government in the
U. S.
2. The Cabinet Parliamentary gov-
ornment would not suit the United
States because this coualry is homo
geneous.
;?. The UnUel States govcrmiieut has
met twery need of this country for 140
.Years. This proves the fa't that a
change i.s not needed.
Friday, December 12, a return debate
on tho same question was held in High
Point high school. High Point upheld
the aliirmatlve while Greensboro stood
up for the negative. The negative side
of the question again triumphed,
Greensboro students returning vic
torious tills time.
Greensboro debaters in this discus
sion were Martha Burnside, the first
speaker, Edgar Melhohm, Alma Taylor.
Of these three, Edgar Melhbohm luis
