Page Six HIGH LIFE Benjamin Franklin, Foremost In Science, Invention, Service January 20 If one should trace the history of the conveniences of this ago, one would be surprised at how many may be traced to the talents of one mar Benjamin Franklin, whose birth month is January. He was not only distinguished In science and public service, but also in .diplomacy and literature. It has been .said that. “He wa.s the Edison of his day," He discerned the identity of lightning and electricity. 'Fhe furnaces which heat our homes are based on the principle of the Franklin stove. He organized a fi’.e SENIOR vSUPERLATIVE ELECTION IS CLOSE In many cases the race for superla tives in the mid-term graduating class was extremely close. In some cases one vote was the deciding factor. In the vote for the best sport, Jess Waynick ran but a few votes behind George Underwood who was elected. Louise Greene was close to Dorothy Hodgln as the prettiest girl. Hardy Root was one vote behind Ed ward Cone as the most gifted. Helen Crutchfield ran Percy Bostick a close race as the most individualistic. Helen also was near the top as the most ver/,atile and most representative. Sherman ilinej lo?t as the most dig nified by only a small margin to Edna Falkner. Howell Overton had but a slight edge over Hardy Root as the cutest boy. Hardy Root also ran a close race as the wittiest and most popular boy. Dennis Snead lost as the most ath letic by a narrow margin. The race was exceedingly close be tween Irene McCurry and Helen Crutchfield as the biggest flirt. In the vote for the biggest talker Hillard Cleln was unanimously elect ed. This was the only landslide in the entire election. company, and, though he isn't given credit for it, he founded a hospital. We have him to thank for sidewalks, paved Streets, better cleaning and lighting of the streets, and the protec tion of stores and homes by the night watch. The U, S. postoffice Is based on the postal system which Franklin organ ized for the colonies. Lord Jeffrey, editor of the Edln- buigh Review, said that, “in one point of view Franklin's name must be con sidered as standing higher than any of the others that Illustrated the eighteenth century.” DID YOU KNOW THAT Iceland has neither prisons nor policemen? The first license to drive an auto mobile was Issued in'l893? The first pullman car was built in 1863? William Penn occupied the first brick house in America? Greensboro high has taken the spot light in the matrimonial col umn of the newspapers? Debaters Argue Debts Skating Accidents Joy Dell Wheeler, Jack Staples Collide; Christine Miles Run Down By Auto. The toll of major accidents among G. H. S. students was raised a second and a third time during the .first semester. Joy Bell Wheeler received a severe fractured skull and a broken arm in a collision with Jack Staples, who suffered a slight brain concussion which did not prevent his attending school after the Christmas holidays terminated. Another skating accident occurred when Christine Miles was run down by an automobile as she proceeded to cross a street intersection. A broken collarbone was the extent of her in juries. Just Like a Fairy Tale Junior Clubs Prepare For French IV Activity In order to prepare her French 3 students for future work, Miss Estelle Mitchell, head of the French depart ment, organized junior French clubs in her first and second period classes. The purpose of the clubs is to acquaint students with the correct procedure used in the French 4 club. In addition to writing papers on Christmas, the clubs, at the end of the study of “Cosette," by Victor Hugo, presented the story In dramatic form. The clubs of which each student Is a member, have elected the following officers: First period, president, Eliz abeth Drummond: vice-president, Dor othy Sherwin; secretary, Beverly Bur gess; second iierlod, president Marilu Smith; vice-president, Paul Curtis; and secretary, Martha Fry. The war debts should not be cancel ed, decided the Judges of the debate which was held in the debating club. Friday. January 7, during activities period. The main speakers on the affirma tive were: Irma Lee Graves and Helen Hinson; and on the negative, Evelyn Goss and W. E. Benbow. There were many other discussions. This debate ended the semester's work. The members at the club welcomed a few of their former members who are now at Guilford College. Mr. Phil lips was also a welcome visitor. At a later session the club elected the following officers: Talmadge Smith, president: A. C. Holt, vice- president; secretary, Phyllis Morrah; sergeant-at-arms. Billy Womble; membership committee. Joe Stone, chairman, David Stafford and W. S, Benbow; program committee, Melvin Appel, chairman, Maurice Polk and Jack Cheek; social committee, Irma Lee Graves, Phyllis Morram, and Thomas Millen; publicity committee, Helen Hinson, chairman, and Billy Murphy. January 5) Marks Start On TrianKular Debate Work on the Triangular Debate be gan January 9 at 3:30 when a meet ing of the debaters was held. The club will meet on Mondays and Thurs days at which time discussions on the Sales Tax will be held. Regular as signments will be made at each meet ing. and these will be reported upon at the next session. Sales Tax, the subject of the discus sion, should be of vital Interest to everyone, as it may be the next source of revenue for the school. IS HE REDUCING? Ah-h-h-h, what a president! Just watch him! He does anything. Even leaves attract his attention but not leaves of books. The cleaning of the campus near the street was progressing none too rap idly, Prank Pittman thought, so he spends nearly all his lunch period try ing to help. He rakes the leaves and rakes some more and for all his work none follow his example. His hopes rise high ns Oka Hester and later Gon- vllle De Ovles stroll up, But. woe, no help do they give to this hard work ing boy. Oh boy, what a student body, what a lu'esldent! Work of Fall Semester Portrayed In Proifram The orchestra opened the program sponsored by the night school Monday evening. Januai-y 16. The mechanical department put on a display followed by the trade and dressmaking depart ment. An office setting was arranged on the stage, and a wireless message was received through radio, transcrib ed by the typing department, sent to the head .where it was then dictated to the shorthand department. All of the customers' accounts were handled by the bookkeeping department. Spelling and construction of sen tences and penmanship were checked by their respective departments, and salesmen went out Immediately to close the day. Hardy Root, mid-term graduate, sang a baritone solo at the First Bap tist church last Sunday. Hardy in tends to go to the Peabody Conserva tory of Music at Baltimore in Sep tember. The campus takes on new life while rises the lofty steel frame of the new gym which seems to grow out of the ground and rapidly ascend toward the sky. Soon it will ring with echoes of happy students as they enjoy the benefits of body building to be gain ed there. One marvels at the din, the move ment, the changes, and the sheer joy of it all. On one side men are busily engag ing axes to fell the mighty oaks and chop G. H. S. out of the sticks, while on the other side some are digging out havens for the repose of delicate young shrubs and laying deep founda tions for the great weight of grass seed. The vast open spaces beneath the trees are being cleared of the de posit of debris and leaves from last spring's growth and then slow decay. The work is all afire; the men as they thread toeir way among their fellow workers are happy with a hopeful serenity on their faces where once sat almost despair. The scent of spring breathes from the fragrant newly upturned earth. Oh, happy days these, when the stu dents can behold a beautiful campus, and workers can thrill at the tingle of the sliver. GOD SAVE OUE TOES I know everyone has noticed several gloomy faced lads around this school, and I also know that your hearts. go out to them. Poor kids! Unable to find a joy in life. Boo-hoo! We have sore toes! You ask why such an epidemic should break loose f I say it is that we are unable to go to our lockers during the last five minutes. We rush to our lockers at the tinkle of the bell, spend an hour trying to get our books into our bookbag—between the teeth, and—Alas!—end up by dropping the books on our toes! Ah! such agony I have endured while vainly try ing to bookbag my “Lit. and Life," Book Four—Greenlaw and Miles. long time ago we could get our books, go into our rooms, bookbag our books by placing the bag on the desk, and then calmly uwalt the bell. But now, we can't think, we can't concentrate, we can't even study—our feet are too sore! A BOOKBAQGER. Stratford-Weatlierly Drug Company jefferton ScanJird Building Greensboro, N. C.

This 192 pounder, with brown hair, flashing blue eyes, and a broad ready smile, has won the complete admiration of athlete wor shipers. As a freshman, Elmer accomplished the near Impossible, making the var sity eleven. Since that time he has played a steady game at guard, not only excelling, on the football field, but on the basketball floor as well. Besides outstanding work in these two sports, Wrenn has received honors in the field of track. In his third year he was elected captain of the 1932 gridiron men and the '33 basketeers. During the entire '32 season Elmer played through the nine scheduled games without being taken out. At the end of the season he was placed on the first team of the official all- state high school eleven. He was also chosen by Coach Beldlng as first string all-state guard. The only other man representing the Purple Whirlwinds on the lineup was Hester, at the pivot position. Although Captain Wrenn was un able to participate in the six holiday practice games of the quintet this sea son, he has played outstandingly well in every game since. Much of the team's further success is dependent on this competent guard. This spring Elmer will wind up his brilliant high school athletic career by joining the track men. G. H. S. will miss you next year, “Runt," old boy! MASQUERS RECEIVE FOUR NEW MEMBERS Tapping of the Golden Masquers, which is an annual event, took place January 11.
