HOLTraESIDES John De Butts, Mack Heath, and Dick Cann Uphold Af firmative Here. (NEGATIVE WINS TWICE Qoery on “Should the United States Rec ognise the Government of Soviet Russia.” GOLDEN MASQUERS HOLD FIRST TAPPING Lois Lazenby, As President, Ex plains Purpose and Signifi cance of Club. IS IMPRESSIVE OCCASION Id the second debate gf this semester the debating team representing G. H. S. aefeated Salisbury high by a score of 2-1. The query for debate was: “Ee- solred, that the United States should recognize the Sovient government of. Rnssia." The first speaker for Salisbury was l£0 Avey, the next was Leo Wilhelm, and the third, Eayford Kytle. The most prominent points for the affirma- tire side were that the Eussians are ruled by an able regime, supported by the people and able to meet all obliga- lions as in the past. It is a govern ment that aids Eussia’s industries, health, and educational needs. Recog nition of Societ government means a better effect on U. S. economics. The United States would profit by trade, iroald have unemployment situation solved and better times would be re stored. The speakers for Greensboro were John De Butts, Mack Heath, and Dick Cann. This aggregation supported the negative side by stressing the facts that the Soviet government is not a repre sentative .one supported by militarism that is trying to overthrow the eco- loniic plans of other nations. This government is connected with the com munists of Russia and it is not trust worthy. Clary Holt, vice-president of the G. H. S. debating organization, presided over the debate. ' Eigdon Dees and Alma Hedrick kept time. The judges were Miss Lucy Crisp, Miss Gladys Boyington, and Rev. Mr. Mangum, of the Park Place M. -E. church of Greensboro. The Salisbury debaters arrived at G. B. S. during the second period. They were Ireeeived and entertained until time for the debate by Edwin Holt, president of G. H. debating club. Their party consisted of three debaters and several more supporters of their cause. The Greensboro affirmative team went to Salisbury, Friday, January 9, on a return debate on the subject, “Resolved, That the United States should recog nize the Soviet government of Russia.' The Greensboro team was composed of Edwin Holt, Jack McLean, and Clary Holt. The debaters were accompanied by Miss Mary McNairy, faculty ad viser. The decision was two to one in favor of the Salisbury negative team. The debaters were entertained at lunch by the Salisbury students. The coaches for the Greensboro negative and affirm ative teams were Miss’ Mary McNairy and J. A. Farthing. The Golden Masquers, honorary dra matic society of the Greensboro high school, held their first tapping of the current semester in the auditorium on Thursday, December 18. The first thing on the program was an address by the president, Lois Lazen by, explaining the purpose and signifi cance of the Golden Masquers. She also explained what qualifications a student must possess before he or she can be taken into the society. After her speech, the active members took their places in the audience and awaited the tappers to appear. With out warning,' a hooded figure, dressed iu a black hood and robe, wearing a golden ma.sque, appeared on the stage and slowly walked down among the audience. Ilis searching eyes scanned the audience as he walked. Presently he stopped and raised his right arm and brought it down on the right slioulder of a student, signifying that that student had been tapped as candi date for initiation Into the Golden Masquers. Immediately after the stu dent was tapped an active member, who was stationed close by, placed a d)lack pledge masque on tlic candidate and led him to the stage. This.pro cedure kept up until the following stu dents were tapped; Clara Applewhite, Charlie Pemberton, John Ademy, aud Allen Stanley. After the tapping a short dramatic sketch was presented by the Golden Masquers, featuring Lois I.4izenby, president of the Golden Masquers, Charles Hagan, president of the student body. Both Lois and Charles did their parts admirably and were well-received by the audience. The presentation of the sketch concluded the program.

This is not including the bonus paid to tho teachers in several of the school systems In the larger cities, where liv ing costs flinch more than in the smaller towns'and rural districts. This amount, when divided by twelve, gives $70.1*8, which is the average salary per month of the white teachers in' this state. This average salary per annum is almost .$1,000 under the average salary per annum of the state employees work ing under direction of tho salary and wage commission. The average salary of persoiLS working for the various state departments under salaries fixed by tills eominis-sion is over $1,700. This includes not only stenographers, clerks, and other salaried state employes whose job is more or less tcidinloai, but it also includes porters, llremen, janitors, and all the colored help in and around the different state depart ments. From parts of the state where the business depression has been worst, there have come proiiosals for a salary cut of from 10 to 25 per cent. Byron A. Haworth, of the G. H. S. English department, has written an article that appeared in the January issue of “Tlie North Carolina Teacher," the monthly magazine of the N. C, Edu cation association. "The Lower Five Per Cent of Our Schools Presents a Challenge" is the topic of -Mr. Ha- ortli’s article. 'The problem of finding a child’s place In society aud training him so ’he will tit and become a happy and constructive uult" is one that confronts the teachers of our lower five per cent. In order to meet the various trends In various types of students there should be more than one course that may be studied in high school. This eliminates the unnecessary hard and worthless work on a college entrance course for a pupil who is not going to college, but intends to work instead.
