Looking Ahead "Be Prepared,” the motto of the Boy Scouts of America, is one of the ..v., wiuLvu tut, uoy ocuuts or America, is one ot the best lessons to learn in high school. By looking ahead and preparing for the future we may meet it with a courageous heart and a ready mind. Look ing ahead and building air castles may seem foolish to some, but, in truth, air castles and dreams are ambitions which will lift one to the top. Your air castles may seem far away and unreal to you, but by looking ahead, remaining steadfast in your purpose, and clinging to your castles, you will realize some of your dreams some day.

Those who have attained honors will strive for still others, for the greatest impetus to success, is success. We face the new year and the new semester with high hopes and new ambitions. Wc bid the seniors goodbye, sorry to sec them go but glad in their sue cess. They go with the best wishes of the students and the faculty. By John Dickson Carr The lover of mystery stories has a rare treat In store for him in this ex citing yarn. Rosslter, an erratic new detective, starts Investigating a crime before he knows It has been commit ted. Even before the tragic events, the old Zuagle house has been a place of terror and suspicion. Most of the characters might be said to be as ec centric as the detective. Old Judge Zuagle trembles at the very mention of a broken -statue in his library and thinks he sees hands run ning along window sills and table tops Mrs. Zuagle thinks of her son who has been driven from the home because he refused to be a lawyer. The elder son is weak and suspicious. Clarissa, the beauty of the family, is married to a young man who Is untidy and lazy. Virginia, the youngest, is the sanest of all. YOU AND YOUR INITIALS Names have origins but initials mean something. If your initials do not spell anything, something is “Screwy Bla- hoo.” Bob Bost starts me off with a bang, and the BB's scatter. Christine Clegg is the commerce commission, .T. E. Stewart when I turned him around Just “set." Margery Edwards thinks of herself. Alvin Ljung does not claim Smith as a rear handle. Edna Newell is half an em, Edwin Gambrell plus another G makes egg. Bettie Anne Llndeman begins to roll a ball. John Davis has the makings of a Rockefeller. Eveljm Hawkins is just an exclama tion. Sidney Ogburn is just so. Elizabeth Troxler proves to be French and Latin, too. Archie McDaniel when upset is either mad or dam. Irene Nau passes In. Bill Owen is a “bo." Elberta Murray, an em is all. Dallas Ozment defies hl§ name. Charles A. Pitchford dreams of ship captains. Una Pleasants looks up. Carlton A. Raper nms, sometimes. Orville Snyder is one of “Freckles’ Friends." Irene Tilley has “it. ” Awilda McLean just am. James Alban Middleton stays in a jam. Hyman Ellison Is just' he. Worth Edwards is more than one. Ruffin Edwards, the musical man. Arnold Dempsey is what makes High Life go. Edward Davis certainly was meant to be Ed. W. E. Benbow, will entrap you in the meshes of his silvery web. Margie Ingram is a musical note. Haywood Allen laughs. Oka Hester, exclaims, Oh! Mary Allen is a mother's girl. Alice Walsh is slangy. Andrew Troxler is at where? Inez Scoggin is a helping verb. Edward T. Cone wants me to stop with et cetera and goodbye. G. H • $. RAMBLING THOUGHTS By Hardy Root Thrifty Persons Never Fail "A penny saved is a penny earned,” is true not only of pennies but also of talents. It is easy to waste one’s time pursuing worthless ambitions or worse, no ambitions. Thrift does not mean the wrapping up, of one’s pennies or talents i napkin and putting them aside. That is hoarding. Hoarding takes away from the world and one’s friends what one might otherwise be able to con tribute. Thrift means the wise use of one’s money, talents, and strength. A man wlio is thrifty in everything will never be a failure. New Students - New Talent The leaves have all been torn from the present semester calendar, and once again Senior high welcomes a new group of sophomores to carry on its traditions. There will be jewels in this collection. Will there also be wolves in sheeps’ clothing? Always in the incoming classes there is discovered new dramatic talent, students with voices adapted for the opera, students who quickly catch on to the knack of journalism, and students who raise the scholastic average of the school. The.™ arc the students the school needs, the students who will carry on in a befitting manner. The students and .liumnl hope that fine, square, industrious, students will Ix' m the majority among the incoming sophomore group. To you one and all, a cordial welcome. lA)oh Into History Historians tell us that the court attendants of Louis XVI's time con- sidercd courtesy as something immortal, a religion, which was strictly abided by. The study of rules of courtesy even took the place of practically all studies in schools. All members of the court guilty of Breach of Etiquette or Courtesy were promptly disgraced and banned from the court. Quite often suicide followed this. But today we h.ave dropped too much from the standard rules of courtesy. Although courtesy is comparatively commendable in this school, stricter standards should be enforced. You may aid conditions by setting yourself as an example to less thoughtful associates. It is found that when certain individual students spread any influence, good or bad, it is invariably adopted by their wor shippers. If the influence were good this power might successfully be used by them to instill the elements of courtesy into their friends who “SCANDAL MONGER” O. McIntyre says: “Scandal Mon ger” is a book about vicious Broadway columning by Emile Gauvreau. the managing editor who spawned the type. In this sentence the famous columnist gives one a brief Idea of the nature of the book: Wlllla Goldfarb, a wise-cracking ham actor, cannot get a vaudeville job and therefore resorts to writing a col umn of cheap gossip on a weekly newspaper. The editor of a popular New York daily becomes Interested In him and plans to make him a nation wide character, who “Knows all. sees all, and tells all." He carries out his Idea so well that he creates a monster, whom he com pares to Frankenstein. The editor ex presses his regrets at giving such a creature so much power with the fol lowing quotation from Frankenstein. “My abhorence of this fiend cannot be conceived. When I thought of him. I clinched my teeth, by eyes became inflamed, and I ardently wished to ex tinguish that life which I had so thoughtlessly bestowed. When I re flected on his crime and malice, my hatred and revenge burst all bounds of moderation. This vicious creature knew no bounds. He slandered friend and foe In a manner which no court could hinder. He created a new jargon of words called "slanguage.” All Broad way was under his control, even the man who had created him. Finally, however, he received ...„ just dues and became entangled in his own net. Through his eager desire for money, his fear of the underworld and too much work, he became Insane. No one could better create such - character than Emile Gauvreau. who began this type of writing, and who is well acquainted with the newspaper business. This book will provide interesting entertainment for everyone with its thrilling action^. Its humorous wise cracks, and its glamour of big city life. SCREWY—BLAHOO By Jimmie Greene If you are a student at G. H. S., you have only two things to worry about, that is; whether you'll graduate or not. If you don’t graduate, you won’t have anything to worry about, because you are getting a nice warm school to stay in for nothing. If you graduate, you won't have but two things to worry about; that is, whether you'll get to U. N. C. or Duke. If you go to U. N. C.. you won’t have to worry; but if you go to Duke, you’ll have two things to worry about: ' whether U. N. C. will beat Duke in the football classic or vice versa. If U. N. C. beats Duke, you won’t have to worry; but If Duke beats U. N. C., you’ll have two things to worry about, whether you’ll get back to Duke alive or not. If you get back alive, you won't have anything to worry about; but if you don't, you'll have two things to worry about, whether you’ll go to heaven or not. If you go to heaven, there’s nothing to worry about; but if you don’t, you’ll be so busy shaking hands with all your old classmates you won't have time to worry. TO A GIRL Roses kissed by moonbeams, The swish of dancing feet, The sound of muted music, There we chanced to meet. We slipped away together, Walking side by side, Down a dew-trod walkway, To find a place to hide. , , j, iiiLu iiicir irienus who. un- thoughcedly, arc comnilcting deeds termed sacriligious by the French courts of the seventeenth century. MYSTERY People think about me And try to decide If I really think thus And of my better side. Yes, people think about me But since I am no clam Why don’t they visit me Instead And see how nice I am! —JENNY ROBINSON. I whispered, “I am falling," She laughed and said, “My dear, It’s not for me you're falling; It’s for the atmosphere.” But now the skies are greying, No music do I hear; It was the girl I loved, you see, And not the atmosphere. —HARDY ROOT. “BUCHANAN OF THE PRESS” By Silas Bert Silas Bert, veteran newspaper man and author, has rendered the newspa per world a great service in this splen did inside picture of a few years as a star reporter. Buchanan, the reporter, does his part in disclosing scandal, using force and Influence to get the yarn that will put his paper ahead of the rival pub licatlon. He Is inclined to drink heavily, which makes him forget and helps him In his work. He is given an important assignment in a gambling house where liquor is served freely to those who can pay for It. and It is this that brings a cruel tragedy upon his home. Those who have rushed news, which must reach the office for the next ed ition will be delighted with the keen realism. A tear is about to form in my eye because I realize this will be my last column in dear old High Life. Ah, but brace up Hardy, that’s the way high life goes. (How's that?! We must face the consequences with a bit of a smile and snap of the fingers. So there! I asked Ed Gambrell if he knew who Vicki Baum was, and he said it was a salve you use for rheumatism. ‘How long did Queen Elizabeth reign?” asked Miss Blackmon. “Forty days and forty nights,” yell ed Lewis Ginsbergh as he settled himself back into the February issue of Ballyhoo. I read about a man who had an automobile accident in which he was not injured. The next night, how ever, he dreamed about it and It scar- him so bad he jumped out of bed and broke his neck. When I was a sophomore. I longed for the day when I would be a senior and wear a cap and gown. Now that I am a senior and do wear a cap and gown. I envy the lucky sophomores for not having to wear the darn stuffy things. Charlie Smoak had one line to say n a play called “Two Crooks and a .ady.” He was a cop and was sup posed to rush on the stage into the room of an old invalid lady, who had been robbed, and say, “Is the old lady safe?” Well, the night of the play everything went smoothly until Char lie rushed on the stage. He suffered stage fright and forgot the only line he had in the entire play. He fidgeted around the stage for a few minutes and finally blurted out, “How’s the old girl feeling?” “What’s on at the movies?’ asked “ ‘Grand Hotel,' with John Barry more," said Chico. “Hump,” said Groucho, “I’d rather hae a small boarding house with Garbo.” We Bits: I hate the word “victuals” . . .

Did you know that beneath the walks leading from the main building to the cafeteria and science buildings there are huge tunnels used for transport ing heat from one building to another? That’s why it’s so hard for snow stick to these walks. The guy who put his drug store on the Jefferson Square certainly used his head. He picked the coldest spot in town, and ciuring the winter months, at least, the front of his store is free of the parasitical, drug store hang outs. However, there are a few you couldn’t drive away with fifteen earth quakes. Leah Louise Baach, former business manager of High Life, and Carolyn Weil visited the publication room be fore returning to their respective col leges after the holidays.
