Eleven machines have been Installed for their use. The shorthand students have heretofore used typing room for transcription, but due to large typing classes this semester they have not been able to do so. Lost and Found Busy Flying Fire Dragon Arouses Pajama-Clad College Girls The low steady drone of the high flying night airmail plane was a usual thing, but sometimes the unusual hap pens. On the . night of September 15 the low, steady drone suddenly turned into an alive thing, diving, looping, and stalling. Now Located In Senior Supply Shop. Does Big Business as Notebooks and Fountain Pens Are Returned. The lost and found department is doing a large business. Already more than one-half dozen fountain pens, a composition book, lipstick, and a pock- etbook have been turned in. Howell Overton, chairman of the department, will appoint his committee soon. Students are asked to turn lost text books Into the office. Miss Morgan will take care of them. Until this year the lost and found committee has had no adviser, but this year Miss Cole is faculty adviser. The lost and found department Is located In the Senior Supply shop. THREE TYPES FOUND WITHIN OUR SCHOOL Sophomore:—A specimen of the human race attending senior high school. The average sopho more is very small, “runty" in fact, and has a very limited knowledge of high school etiquette, or of any thing else. Junior;—An advanced sopho more (q. V.), usually larger and more dignified. This representa tive of high school life may now look upon the “runty” sopho mores with scorn, and refuse to condescend to notice the poor creature. Senior:—One of a group of high school students who have attained the highest distinction that high school has to confer upon a stu dent. This group disdains all other students, and even the mem bers of the faculty. Brief Cases Gain In Favor; Over Twenty Being Used Brief cases are all the rage for stu dious students. There are 20 or more of them rushing around the halls of Senior high, Professors used to have a monopoly on them, but those days are gone forever. It is supposed that Edith Latham was the pioneer in Introducing brief cases to local students. These scholar ly accessories at least give the car riers a business like air. It is hoped it will make them as Industrious as they look. Hubert Rochell, Frank Evans, Ed Glenn, Hazel Allen, Frances Sowell, Claude Harrison, and P. F. Payne are among the guilty ones. BROCKMANN Music Company Leading Piano Store We always have a bargain piano. Sale Now Going On We cater to school needs. Violins, Cornets, S a x a- phones and Clari nets. Instruments put in order. Students Always Welcome to Look Over Music and Try Out Instruments This brought inarticulate mumblings of protest from the sleeping girls. For several minutes they protested thus until they awaken to full conscious ness wondering about the unusual ac tions of the plane. Heads began to put in their ap pearance at the windows and sleep- benumbed minds awakened with start ling swiftness. Their ease registered the presence of the flying dragon, there, not to harm but to warn them. This dragon of destruction was then eating its way through their most precious materials, the books, maga- zmes, papers, and building which con stituted their library. And then the Are drill bell sounded. It was a signal to grab a wrap whether coat or blanket, and the most cherish ed possession, whether picture purse. A moment and all buildings were • empty of human life. Slippered feet, pajama-clad bodies with wraps and articlesof some description stood around watching the rising smoke and leaping flames, talking in whispers. Here was a girl in true Indian fashion with a blanket and her good luck token. Another in polo coat cov ering siik pajamas, clasping tightly a small white d(^. Over there appears a violet colored negligee with a very deep rose nightgown showing under neath, holding with bulldog tenacity a brightly bound light novel of today. The flames died and the smoke curl ed away conjured by man. The girls slowly got back in bed to spend a rather sleepless night. And so each night the low, steady drone comes out of nowhere to pass over and fade into nowhere, ever watchful to help the body of sleeping humanity below. MATHEMATIC PUPILS^ ARE 1,110 STRONG There are 1,110 students taking some form of mathematics and no less than one hundred and fifty are taking advanced courses in business arithmetic. One hundred and thir ty-six pupils are enrolled in the elective courses given in this build of study which includes: Geometry, trigonometry, college algebra, and business arithmetic. The above fig ures show that nearly ten per cent of the 1,350 in high school are car rying on their math because of the interest this subject holds for them. Latin Activities Vary Students Plan Projfram Every Two Weeks. Roman and Greek Myths and Gods to Be First Topic Studied. A special Latin program takes the place of the usual class in Miss Ger trude Farlow's classes every two weeks, Each of the classes have elected a leader. Hope Burchell Is president of first period; Hill Hunter, second period; Lucy ’Washington, the sixth period. The subject for the first time Is Rome and Greek myths and Gods. Miss Farlow’s girls and boys say they are all enjoying these progi-ams and appreciate the way their teacher is conducting these periods. RICK RACKS INVADE YO-YO DOMAIN Mai'bles, Jack rocks, and yo-yos have had their day. The high school stu dent must have something to worry a teacher with when he is bored. School ran nearly two weeks and teachers were beginning to hope that no mod ern plaything would make its appear- They hoped too quickly. ’ is a popular To the “regust” of the teachers and delight of students an unknown per son of Columbus, Georgia, has been delivering to many city stores a sup ply of the now well known Rick- Racks. “Can you Rick-Rack?' question. It Is easy after you learn how. A paddle, like many boys have felt at one time or another, with a many colored rubber ball attached by a long rubber band constitute your equip ment to “Rick-Rack.” I,earn at once! Be a modern! FORMER DUKE STUDENT ENTERS W. C. OF U. N. C. Is there any privilege greater than that of meeting an old friend, who during the passing of time has been far a-field, due to a yearning for greater knowledge and further adven ture? Your writer had a pleasant inter view with that well known aluminus, W. B. Davis. Conversing with such a personality always has Its effect, and at this particular time the present ac tivities of young Davis would be of interest to the students who know and appreciate his wit and versatility. This actor, writer, and naturalist spent last winter at Duke and was planning to return, until W. C. of U. N. C. opened its portals to the male species of Greensboro and other points. Many a good man has been turned from his purpose, and so it was with this former student of G. H. S., al though it had been his wish to return to the Duke campus, it was impossible to resist the temptation of entering into a new field of adventure by be coming a student of W. C. of U. N, C.

POWDERED PUPS WIN “Right this way, folks, step up, only 10c and a real dime’s worth,” There is no telling how many times you have heard the above expression, and once again the Greensboro annual fair ar rives with its glorious dust and side shows. But there was a new feature this year, a dog show. The dogs entering won anything from a biscuit to a silk blue ribbon. Of course he refused to wear the ribbon unless he were the sissy type. Next year if you want your dog to win, squirt a little perfume un der his elbows, and powder his face, and he will be sure to win. WHERE THE LAKE WAS! The barefoot boy was not In sight. Maude Muller had gone her way; and yet there stood at the foot of the hill, not a tin lizzie with a flat in front and a blowout behind, not a choo-choo with a railroad whistle, not even a worn out fire engine. On the right there stood no barn; on the left there stood no cattle. There were no fairies nor a fairy wand. There were no elves nor impish tricks. The days of black magic had long gone by. And yet had C. W. Phillips welcomed us to school in a big straw hat and a red bandana, overalls and a tattered shirt, we should not have been sur prised, for as if to wai-n us, at the foot of the hill there stood eight haystacks —eight solemn Rousseaulstic heralds. “WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE, BUT NOT A DROP TO DRINK” We, the students of Greensboro Se nior high, cannot maintain the high standards of neatness and sanitation of our school unless we get rid of cer tain students who have bad habits or make them get rid of their bad habits. Fortunately such students are in the minority, but their bad habits are offensive to others and are injuri ous to the reputation of the entire stu dent body. Drinking fountains are placed in our halls for the convenience of the stu dents. ’When they fail to function properly, the students complain. At present they are in good working* or der, but they may soon become clogged again if certain careless people insist upon using them for waste baskets. There is nothing more disgusting when you lean over, all set to quench your thirst, than to see a collection of balls of tinfoil, bits of apple skin, and wads of chewing gum cluttering the base of the fountain. We have all heard of the man who walked to a box bearing the words “Deposit Waste Here” and asked passerby if it was a letter box. Some of our gum chewers, when they go for a drink, should ask themselves. “Is this fountain a place for depositing refuse?” Then on second thought they might use a wastebasket. Habits are only the doing of the same things over and over again. But habits can be broken. What are you going to do about this one? WHERE THEY GO? Every year Greensboro high school loses some of its students not only by graduating but some move away or go to preparatory schools. The school year of 1932-33 is minus the following students: Barnard Vinson, who will attend Gastonia high school; Roy Wherle, Charles ton high school. West Virginia; Crawford Amick, moved to Mebane, North Carolina. Jack Burroughs, Greenbrier Mil itary school, Lewisburg, West Vir ginia; Beda Carlson, National Park Seminary, Forest Glenn, Mary land; Joffre Coe, Orlando, Flor ida; Joseph Ganic, New York; Bob Lone, to Goldsboro, North Car olina; Alice Lee, St. Joseph’s high school,, Emmltsbury, Maryland; Richard and Robert Link, moved to Tampa, Florida. Ruth-Pritchett moved to Texas; Waddell Rainey, Alexander school, Union Mills, N. C.; Bill Whar ton, Oak Ridge Military academy; Red Whitt, Guilford college; Numa Ham, Oak Ridge; Prances Eckard, Newton, North Carolina; Dick Boyles, Riverside; Margot O'Brien, moved to Florida; Joe Farlow and Prank Brown have changed to Cur ry high school; and Winslow Jones has Joined the navy. LINCOLN ANNOUNCES FREEING OF SLAVES Scholarship Loan Fund For College Continued Miss Fannie Starr Mitchell and Miss Tillett stated that the only definite plan which they have for the Torch light Society is to continue the Schol arship loan fund. The fifty dollars taken in last year for this purpose was used to send a graduate of Greensboro high school to college who otherwise would not have been able to go. Only five old members have return ed this year and each of these hold an office. They are: Charles Sharpe, president: Dorothy Hodgin, vice pres ident; Helen Crutchfield, secretary; Lane Barksdale, treasurer, and Ed ward Cone, chairman of the commit tees. J. A. Farthing’s Room First To Win Contest Percentage A certain student in-our high school is sadder but wiser because of his long windedness. He was sent to the publication room to report his session room, 305, had gone one hundred per cent in High Life subscription drive. Upon reaching Mrs. Coltrane’s room he began to make a long speech tell ing how Miss Lesley's room had done it. In the meantime, Mr. Farthing’s room, 317, also went one hundred per cent, and a student was sent to report the good news. He rushed into Mrs. Coltrane’s room and announced the tidings without preliminary ado. Mrs. Coltrane immediately congratulated him, and his room was given credit for going one hundred per cent first. DEBATING CLUB GROWS The faculty advisers of the debating club. Miss Nora Chaffin and James Farthing, were pleased to find that the first meeting opened with thirty- two students present, a large number of whom are beginners in the field. The meeting was opened by the presi dent, A. c. Holt, who welcomed the new members. The program committee decided to hold an informal debate upon the fol lowing query; Resolved, “That the United States shall pay the Bonus fund immediately.” Stratford-Weatlierly Drug Jefferson Standard Building Greensboro, N. C. Sip Your Sodas Under Our Silver Ceiling OPERA SINGERS PRACTICE Since Mr. Miller named the opera for this year’s offering, none of the glee club students have been doing anything but singing in hopes that he might be one of the students selected. Even through the halls,' float the sounds of those who are aspiring to be opera singers. ODELLS i aROllMAS' ttUnST HLHMHDf HOfiF Exactly seventy years ago, Abra ham .Lincoln issued the most im portant proclamation of United States history, that of the emanci pation of the slaves. On Septem ber 22, 1862, Lincoln announced to three million slaves that they would be free after New Year’s day. Lincoln's discretion in issuing this proclamation is to be com mended. He introduced it at Just the precise moment when if would cause less antagonism to either North or South. W4AOE Broadcasts Radio Station Announces Stu dents May Send Radiograms to All Parts of Country Free of Charge; Frew is Manager. W4AOE is calling! You guessed it right! It’s the Senior high broad casting station and announcing to all new students in this school that they can send messages to practically any place in this country they wish to. The good part of it is that these mes- sa'ges are free of charge. Write messages to be sent and hand them to J. S. Johnson or place them in the box in the cafeteria. This ap plies to Juniors and seniors, who may keep the air filled with messages from Senior high. Bob Frew, who was the traffic man ager last year, holds that position again this year. Bob will take mes sages, too. Greensboro had a good record in sending out messages last year. Stu dents should make this an even bet ter year. GRASSHOPPERS! Mr. Jenretfs classes dream nightly about grasshoppers! Grasshoppers? Yes, grasshoppers. Senior high school has gone nertz over them! "Why don’t they bring Rick-Racks or even snakes ?
