Good Will Spirit Prevails One week of Good Will!” One week of social contact did more for the student body and the school spirit than all the many speeches and lectures of the past two years. No better project to cultivate a more social atmosphere or school spirit has ever been planned. The spirit of the week of March 17 is still in full swing and we believe will linger on through the remainder of the semester. The program was so carefully planned and so far reaching that the effect will be long lasting'; the friendships will not be passing fancies. When such ideals arc instilled into the high school students, no one need fear for the attitude that prevails in this institution. A friendly spirit has been created acquaintances have been broadened. Senior high has set another standard for other schools to follow. It set the pace for Social Standard Conferences; it is a pioneer in Good Will Week. In this adventure much permanent good has resulted. What the P. T. A. Stands For Although it is a very creditable, generous, and helpful organization, one seldom hears of the extensive work that has been done and is now being done by the Parent-Teacher association. The work of the P. T. A. has been constructive and any financial re verses or treasury deficit would be sadly felt by a large number of the school students. Who aids our students in distress? Who supplies clothes to those in need? The answer is the Parent-Teacher association. This association has backed every constructive movement the student body has ever made. They have firmly supported the administration and the teachers. How do the students react to all the things the P. T. A. does for them? Some students will not even tell their parents about a meeting because they think that their teachers will talk about them to their parents. The aim of the P. T. A. is to let the parents of the students know what their children do and what the school docs for them, so that each is benefitted. Your Mirror What docs your high school newspaper mean to you? It has been said that a newspaper is the mirror of a community in which it is published. High Life is the mirror of Greensboro high school and preserves a record af activi ties of the school, and in years to come it will reflect those ideals, activities, and achievements. Nothing esc.apes the good reporter’s eye, so if one makes the honor roll, Torchlight, or some other good record his name is published in the paper. The school paper goes to distant cities and is a written picture of the school. To the parents and business men it shows what their sons and daughters are surrounded by. Be Tolerant 1 just can’t understand him; I just can’t like him; he has such a curious w-ny of looking at things. We all have a speck of intolerance in us; frowning on the ideals and be liefs others cling to. This condemnation of our neighbor’s viewpoint is unfair. Most people are not responsible for their ideals. These are either inherited, or are due to surroundings, or some other influence that has come into one’s life. Can you be sure your way is right? Not until then can you utterly con demn the other fellow. Let’s be tolerant. Seventy-five thousand men will be put to work and millions in electrical horsepower will be the result of Roosevelt’s decision in favor of government operation of Muscle Shoals. This should make purses heavier and hearts lighter. Any project that can do that in these sad times is a blessing. • ,i* *c ^ •VHO/ Room 2: Josephine Andoe, Jack Barnes, Bertram Beckham, Barbara Behrman, and A. R. Bookout.

DUTY TO YOURSELF Take a complete bath at least three times a week; better still, every day. Keep your hair, teeth, fingernails, and clothes in good condition. Look well-groomed. Don't make cutting remarks about those who are about; your wit may mean a laugh, but its unkindness will cause others to like you less. They will feel uncomfortable about what you may say of them in THEIR absence. “Make up" at once with a friend. “I'm sorry," helps. But in case this fails. And a way that succeeds. Don’t lose your friend. Be courteous, frank, and friend ly. Don't try to be popular by at tracting attention. Popularity which has to be sought is of short duration. This above all: To thine ownself be true, and it must follow as the night the day. Thou canst not then be false to any man. RAMBLING THOUGHTS By Hardy Root There’s a certain girl over here whom I had been wanting to meet for a long time, so, taking advantage of Good Will Week, I nervously ap proached her and introduced myself. When I told her my name she began laughing. “So you’re the guy that writes that dumb column for High Life, eh?" Sure,” I said. Well that’s all I want to know,” she hissed. With that she went trip ping dowii the hall hysterical with laughter. I'm still wondering what the deuce war so funny. Somebody please enlighten me. DON’T LIKE: People what call me a high hat ... to ride in a rumble seat with a storm brewing ... to look off a high building. I always have an impulse to jump . . . logarithms . . . public swimming pools . . . artiAcial fruit, s*nce the time 1 nearly broke a tooth on a wax pear . . . those Robin Hood liats the weaker sex wore last year . . . folks who call me up and say “guess who this is” . . . phonograph records on the radio . . . people who blow their auto horns near my neigh bor’s home in the middle of the night. If every page in every book in our library were a dollar bill,'it would ap proximately equal the combined wealth of Ford and Rockefeller. The other day I was walking by W. C. of U. N. C. and some little blonde came tripping down the walk towards me screaming, “Hi there, Joe!" When she got close, her face turned as red as the proverbial beet. She stammered around a while and finally blurted out, “Pardon, I thought you were Joe Taylor." Don't cry Joe, old boy, life is full of hard knocks. On a trip to Asheville the other day I found out quite a few amazing things. There are actually people in the western part of our state who don’t even know we’ve had a war. Peq- ple are arrested every day on liquor charges who have never heard of the 18th amendment. WEE BITS: Henry Ford is a firm believer in reincarnation. So am I , . . you’d be surprised at how many people cannot name, offhand, a single city in some of our states . . . what would be the names of most chickens if the Pil grims hadn’t landed on Plymouth Rock? . . . and how do dumb people talk to each other when the lights go nut? . . . my kid nephew has just learned to say “Uncle Hardy, gimme a nickle." I refer him to his old man . . . Senior high has a swell orchestra. Here’s a warning to you all: Never dance in school, for some teacher will certainly bust (burst) in on you. And you oughta know! A Good Book: I ain’t red one re cently. One of the world’s most famous poets took his gal for a boat ride and threat ened to jump overboard. He changed his mind when he found that she couldn’t row a boat. Bill Brown got pinched for speed ing the other day—this I consider a pretty good compliment for that Thing he drives. DO JIGGERS: Jane Nafe looks like Ramona . . , we’ll have no more near beer with real beer near . . . Mr. Far thing looks like Lowell Thomas . . . thought for a while I’d take something back I said about a certain girl from High Point not so many columns ago. Who struck a match in Miss Tilletfs sixth period class when the substitute teacher wrote on the blackboard, “I smell something burning Etta,” to be punctuated? I asked Bill Boren how he enjoyed his date the night before. He said he had a “neck of a good time.” Ain’t that lousy? There’s a certain extremely bashful boy in Senior high who Is practically goofy over one of our must popular young damsels. I happen to know that he has tried in vain time and time again to get a date with her. The other night at a dance I overheard him insisting that she give him n date. Finally, in exasperation, he blurted out, “I'll dog your tracks day and night. I'll haunt you when I'm dead —I’ll scream in anguish if you don’t give me a date! The sweet ’young thing, with an ex trcmcly bored expression, said, "stick in there, old boy.” (Why don't you give the poor boob a date?) It seems that Bill Wooters, our blackface, has at last made a snappy comeback. However, I happened to know that practically every joke the Harmel Knights used in their minstrels came from an old book Bill found in the bottom of his grandpa’s trunk. The trunk hadn’t been opened in over 75 years. SHADOWS One night I lay beside a fire. And saw it flicker, and burn, and glow. And felt Its warmth steal over me. As embers fell and burned so low. And saw the flames leap up so high. Designing patterns on the wall, With long and slender streams of light Make shadows gruesome, black and tall. And saw the shadows sway and wave Upon the ceiling overhead, That looked like darkened misty forms Of those who long ago were dead. —JESSIE DOUGLAS. Code of Ethics Greatness comes from deed and thought. Rather from conquest sought. Energy may go to waste; Eagerness may leave in haste. Not so when good traits combined Serve us our fellow kind. Be in what we try to do Open-minded, honest, true. Reach out with unselfishness; Others need our friendliness. Higher standards day by day. )ur study or our play, Gain for us an honored name. Holding high this worthy aim; Scholarship that greater grows, Counteracting all its foes; Honesty that ever towers Over all the mocking powers. Onward, then, and let us prove Loyal to the school we love. —Miss Craig’s Session R> om. Jefferson Displayed Versatile Life One of America’s Greatest Men Hear Ye! Dear Editor: Wasn't it fun? I think that our first Good Will Week and its many virtues have all contributed to greater friend ship among students. The interesting chapel programs started me thinking. The group sing ing was quite inspiring as we called for more and mors slides. I am overjoyed with the outcome of the program, and I hope that the friendships instilled through this ob servance will be of everlasting quality. I think that all Good Will Weeks to come will preserve the famed southern hospitality. A STUDENT. Dear Editor: Shrubbery is being planted down the front walk. The students appreciate the work that the School Beautiful Committee is doing, and they certain ly have accomplished a great deal in making the grounds more beautiful and pleasant. The shrubbery down the front walks adds a great deal more to the looks of the school from the front. A STUDENT. Dear Editor: For several days during Good Will Week we had music in the lunch room. Evidently the dial twister in the of fice realized that we enjoyed the blar ing noise, especially the quick, peppy tunes. Did you notice that more stu dents remained in the lunch room to listen to the radio? The cafeteria profited, because the longer the stu dents stay, the more they buy. Please give us more music. A STUDENT. Dear Editor; Last Friday I saw the track team assembled in the administration build ing. A meet was scheduled in Reids- ville and no way to get there. The generosity of the students who own cars must have been overestimated. I stood there a few minutes while several automobile owners were inter viewed in regard to the use of their vehicles. As I chased to my session room at the ringing of the last bell, it looked as if the team were doomed to remain in Greensboro. I think that a little generosity and unselfishness on the part of the luckier students in this respect would result in a greater sense of friendliness in the school. A. STUDENT. Dear Editor: I object. I thought we were sup posed to have tests on special days for that subject; to have two or three on one day and one the next, that’s too much. Each teacher says, “I just re quire one hour; that’s how much you’re supposed to study anyway!" Just suppose you take five subjects. Well, it's practically impossible to get home before four o’clock. Sit down right away, take less than an hour for supper, which any doctor will say should be done, and what time is it? Nine-thirty, or ten o'clock. Study all afternoon, no recreation, no outside in terest, you soon wouldn’t be able to study (except maybe in a padded cell) A STUDENT. ^ JUST A DREAM Unconsciously I fell asleep, And dreamed a funny dream. I sailed a chocolate candy ship Upon a coffee stream. I drifted on for many miles, While near on either side Were trees of striped peppermint, And to me each one cried: “Stop here and stay with all of us.’’ They yelled with main and might. I heard the call but heeded not. And sailed far out of sight. I came upon an island soon, Made out of chocolate cake. So I decided here to stop. Some nourishment to take. I cut a slice of island cake. Enough to make me choke, And was just about to eat it, When, doggone it, I awoke. —IRMA LEE GRAtirES. Between 26 and 83, Thomas Jeffer son displayed to the world one of the greatest and most versatile of public lives. He began as a member of the ■Virginia assembly, continuing upward to the highest position he could hold, President of the United States. Thomas Jefferson was bom April 13, 1742, of parents whose sterling quali ties be inherited. His father was a frontiersman with little education but plenty of good common sense. His mother developed in him a love of study and a refinement of manners. Through her efforts he received his education at William and Mary college. After distinguishing himself in the Virginia assembly for six years Jef ferson took a seat in Congress. He was soon elected governor of Virginia, from which position he went to France as ambassador, Secretary of State un der Washington and then on a com mittee to form the Declaration of In dependence. It is thought that he drafted the document practically un- ded. In 1801 Jefferson ran for the presi dency on the peoples’ platform. It was by a margin of six votes over Aaron Burr that he won. He proved to be a complete success. Some of his move ments during office were to introduce less formality in the "White House and in the cabinet, to increase revenue, thereby decreasing expenses and debts, to make the Louisiana purchase, and to prevent the Federalists from being swept out of office. Circumstances caused Jefferson's second term to be less brilliant than his first, yet he was asked to serve a third term. He refused, thinking it would be disastrous. His last public work was as rector at the University of Virginia. On the birthday of the document that he had written he died in 1826. Jefferson can be considered a scholar, statesman, or patriot and be great in each case. As a scholar he excelled in music, mathematics, and had a wonderful command of the English language. He was a states man, seeing the problems of the fu ture clearer than anyone else of his day, enlarging his public views, and giving his wholehearted attention to the least as well as the most im portant of problems. He is considered with Franklin, Washington, and Lin coln as the four greatest men of our country. Book Reviews “SCOTT AND HIS CIRCLE ” Donald Carsivell Here we read of the man whose life story is the strangest drama in liter ary biography and of his three inti mate friends, whose lives reflect cer tain aspects of Scott. This story depicts the Scott of the study, the polite society, and the do mestic circle. We get no clear picture of him as a man of the world and business, but rather the other, more human side of his life. Although this book is probably more interesting to older people, it would certainly be worth while for anyone to read this vivid picture of Scott’s inter esting life. “FULL FATHOM FIVE ” Frank H. Shaw In this fascinating book we read of some famous shipwrecks, .such as: H. M. S. "Victoria,” H, M. S. “Eurydice,” the ’Cospatrick,” the “Birenhead," the “Titanic,” and numerous others. The author himself has been witness to wrecks that can be considered miraculous. He believes that ship wrecks have greatly affected the his tory of the world. To him St. Paul’s shipwreck was one of the most impor tant events. If St. Paul had not sur vived the task by sea, there would have been no crusaders; and the world might have been at present as it was when Rome was mistress. Here is a truly absorbing and inter esting book. Exchanges Happy Birthday To You April 8—Ruth Janes, Mary Bradley, Mary R. Brame, Jimmie Hines. April 9—Frances Webb, Janie Joyner.

Here are some “live wires” from the North High Oracle of Des Moines, Iowa. "A thief was captured for stealing a watch. A lawyer got the case, and the thief got the works. Judge: T will sentence you to be electrocuted." Prisoner: “Why, Judge, dat will ruin me for life." A guy’s hardesf problem is to find a girl attractive enough to please him, yet dumb enough to like him. Jerry Morris: “They say fish is good for the brain. What kind would you advise me to eat?" Harriet Thompson: “Whale.” The Rambler, Central high school, Charlotte, N. C.—A Boys Good Sports club has been organized at Charlotte high school. This is made up of a large number of students. They at tend all the football, basketball, and other games that the school plays. The number of games the teams have won shows how much they are backed by these students. Often trucks and buses are hired for trips by this club. High Journal, Joliet, Illinois League of Nations Waitress — Hawaii, gentlemen, you must be Hungary. First Customer—Yes, Siam, and we can’t Roumania long either, Venice lunch ready? Waitress—I’ll Russia to a table, what will you Havana? Second Customer—Anything at all. but can’t Jarhaca little speed? Waitress—I don’t think we can Fiji that fast, but Alaska. First Customer—Never mind asking anyone. Just put a Cuba sugar in our Java. Waitress—Sweden it yourself. I’m only here to Servia.—Calumet Herald-. The Torch, Morquette University high school, Milwaukee, Wis.—The in structors of the Morquette University high school, very much like the stu dents, have a wide range of hobbies. The dignified pastimes range from chess to fur farms, and the football coach liked his hobby so well that he married her. “Orange and Black," from East Wa terloo high school, Waterloo, Iowa, states that one of its alumnae, Betty Harrington, has obtained a contract with the famous Ben Bernie for a song and dance act. Betty Rowe and Dolores Headley, The Tatler, Huntington, West Vir ginia, reports that the Varsiey H sponsored a skating party to raise funds to promote a track and field team at Huntington high school. Some of the Senior high students enjoy skating, too. A hint to the wise is suf ficient. The Frederick High Rier, Frederick, Maryland, celebrated its tenth anni versary with special events. Both issues of March contained six pages as a special feature; the second edition was published exclusively by a special staff composed of alumni. Plans are being made for a special banquet and a special picture on the process of making paper. Seniors, recently achieved one of the highest honors that any high school shorthand student can win. They pass ed the 100-word test, a test which very few students pass. The test lasted five minutes, and tlie students were given forty-five minutes in which to tran scribe their notes.—Hi-Life, Fairmount, W. Va. DEFINITION Love is but a bubble. Multi-colored by the sun, Full of hopes; full of fears. Then it bursts and disappears. —HARDY ROOT.
