CALENDAR MERKY-GO-IIOUND May 'u-ly, not around doing nothing Looking Ahead "Be Prepared," the motto of the Boy Scouts of America, is one of the best lessons to learn m 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 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. Achievement Is Impetus to Success The graduating class eagerly planning to conquer where others failed is facing an untried field; lower classmen are awaiting the beginning of a new semester, ready to start out afresh to make a success where they have failed, resolved to put forth new energy and new effort in order to reach the goal of their ideals. 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. We bid the seniors goodbye, .sorry to see them go but glad in their suc cess. They go with the best wishes of the students and the faculty. lAftify'-k.Jike A’ncS ntj'f wind that sends nlng along window sills and table tops.

It is easy to w'astc one’s time pursuing worthless ambitions or worse, no ambitions. Thrift does not mean the wr.ipping up of one’s pennies or talents in a napkin aiul putting them a.side. That is hoarding. Hoarding takes away from the w'orld and one’s friends what one might otherwise l>e able to con tribute. Thrift means the wise u.se of one’s money, talents, and strength. A man who is thrifty in everything will never be a failure. New Students • New Talent The leaves h.ive 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 lie jewels in this collection. Will there also be wolves in sheeps’ clothing? Always in the incoming classes there is discovered new dramatic talent, students wicli 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. Tliese are the students the school needs, tlie students who will carry on in a befitting manner. The students and alumni hope that fine, square, industrious, students -will be in the majority among the incoming sophomore group. To you one and all, a cordial wcici Look Into History Historians tell us that the court attendants of Louis XVI’s time con sidered 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 memU-rs of the court guilty of Breach of Etiquette or Courtesy were promptly disgraced and banned from the court. Quite often suicide followed this. But tod.iy wc I.JVC dropiwd too mucl, from the standard rules of courtesy. Altltoush courtesy is comi,ar,ttivcly commendable In this school, stricter •standards should lie enforced. You may .ud conditions by setting yourself as an example to less thou,;htful associates. It is found that when certain individual students •spread any Influence, good or bad, it is invariably adopted by their wor shippers. II the influence were good this power might successfully be used by them to instill the elements of courtesy into their friends who, un- ihoughtcdly, are commuting deeds termed fairly sacriligious by the French courts of the .seventeenth century. O. O. McIntyre says: "Scandal Mon ger" Is a book about vicious Broadway columnlng 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: Wlllia 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 dally 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 his 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 a 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. 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. SENIORS LEAVE ORIGINAL SONG The senior class, as usual, leaves be hind them an original class song. It was written by Hardy Root, and put v- - - - • to music by Edward Cone. rollowjpFj.^J^airs Ihe first school'olai LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We. the January Graduating Class of 1933 of the senior high school, being are the words: 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. I whispered, “I am falling." She laughed and said, “My dear. It’s not for me you're falling; It’s for the atmosphere." 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. 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 lication. 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- r..rirfe,' 1' 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 in a play called “Two Crooks and a Lady." 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” . . . What became of the honor sys tem . . .

I hate to walk by Liggett’s drug store for fear the two signs on top of the building will fall on me. . . What be came of Senior high's Tammany Hall originated by the great Tom Knight? My secret ambition is to see a trial in court in which Ed Kuykendall (alumnus of Senior high now study ing law) is the lawyer and Major Kuykendall, his father, is the district attorney. Ha! I knew if I kept on trying I’d do this school some good. Re member the time I suggested the over head awnings from the school to the street? Well, it's being seriously con sidered by the school board. Hotcha! Gene: Do you like dates with nuts? Martha: Sure, drop around some time. Erlu Neese: Gee, you’re swell. Isolind DeBoe: You ain’t so skinny yourself. I hatched that myself. Yeah, know it’s a little rotten. 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 to 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 during 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. Witherspoon, Charlie Ed wards, Leah Baach, Carolyn Weil, Mary Leigh Scales, and Fritz Byerly made faces at us through the glass in the doors. Dick Nance, Jack Norman, Sid Kelly. Jack Burroughs, and Red Whitt made up a basketball team which downed the high school regular team 21-13, January 2. Isaac Gregory, of the University of North Carolina, was among the twen ty-eight students making A’s in all courses. ‘Our boys" who were on the honor roll are: Frank Abernathy, Douglas Cartland, James Doubles, Isaac Gregory, John Gunter, Paul Hayes, Mack Heath, Walter King, and Ed Michaels. For four years we sixty-nine bers ot the mid-term graduating gj have gazed with envious eyes aignlfied seniors of successive seini lers who have had the good fortune graduate. Each class has been oulstana,. Each has carried with it superior st denes. In fact with each graduation ■ have wondered what the school wot, do without !.hls student to edit Hon spun cr that student to sing the op" lead or the other student for prg dent of the student body. Wg • learned, after watching eight clas I advance beyond the portals of q I S. that no person is so important h the school will suffer if he lea There is always someone to take place, and eftimes his place is fp by a person far more capable than was. When we take stock, however find that our class contains very f outstanding students. It’s just a gro of avei’age persons with a sprinkli of genius here and a dab of “not bright" student there. There's one thing about a sen class that the juniors and sophomor will understand in a few semeste There is an unconscious spirit of goo fellowship and co-operation that beneath every senior activity, j haps the realization it’s their last j months in high school that causes I seniors to lose their carefree ways a ! become more sympathetic with ; another. ' Certainly were dignified, 'w shouldn’t we be? It's the privilege every senior to be as sophisticated he pleases and to snoot as mi sophomores as he likes. Howei here’s a secret: Many, many tin the dignified seniors have an powering impulse to turn handspri in the halls, and when the lunch rings he would give anything to b sophomore and run to the cafete instead of having to walk in a stat manner and be last in line.

The names of the streets Senior high are not without a history cal significance. Garland Danlei! president of Daniels and Stabler R«1 Estate company, christened the street 1 and named Garland drive for his fan'll ily, the blue bloods of Virginia. De | Sota place, the street that leads to tlj'l entrance of the science building, an^j Seminole drive, the road leading the main entrance of Senior hi^ \ were named for the two tribes of In 1 dians which inhabited this section.' i Originally the DeSotas lived hen j but after a fight occurring on the ha'., east of Senior high, the Seminole gained possession of the territw! ij There is an old monument, where th S warriers killed in battle are buried, cated a few blocks from here.
