It i.=! with pardonable pride that the Greensboro city schools view the recent •election of their chief to the presidency of the North Carolina Education asso ciation. Mr. Ben L. Smith has for two year.s been superintendent of the public schools of Greensboro, and during these years he has become noted for his in tegrity, straight-forwardness, and real activity. Last year Mr. Smith wa.s vice-presi dent of the N. 0. B. A.; and last Satur day at the meeting of the state teachers in Raleigh, he was again honored, this lime to an oven greater extent. In taking over the duties of the presi dency of the N. C. E. A. ilr. Smith will, we feci sure, fulfil the hopes of all his friends in this state and will, no doubt, serve the organization in a thoroughly capable manner. .■Mr. Smith, we salute yon! S. O. S. — G. H. S. Some day in the not-so-distant future each of you students of G. 11. S. will be leaving tlie quiet waters of your high school days and embarking on the stormy seas of college or business life, When this time comes, you will prob ably send ail S. O. S. call back to G. H. S. to send you your past record there. If it is good, it can be a life- saver. But what if it is not? You may sink without some help in the form of a good recommendation. Remember this when you are writing notes in English or sleeping in study today. The time you waste now will have to be made up for later by work ing twice as hard. Do your work and take advantages of all opportunities now, and you wonf regret it. Ihicli les son learned today will remove a stone from the roal you must travel toniov- CARELESS OR DISOBEDIENT? If you saw a sign reading thus—“I double dare you to step over hero,” nine times out of ton you would step there .lust to loam the consequences. Am I I'ight? Although we have no such signs oil our s{*liool grounds, we do have a number of .signs reading, "Keep off the grass,” which wore meant to be re minders, not temptations. However, a great immbor of our students are either -areless, or just can't resist the temp tation to disobey these signs. Anyway, whatever be the cause, let's try to stay oil the grass, and as a result, we will be able to spend our sx-bnol hours at a more attractive place. ETIQUETTE vs. ETTA KETT Girls, do you have classroom eticiuette. or are you a classroom Etta Kett? We've noticed inite a few Etta Ketts around school lately, and wo don't like tlumi I The lip-stick smearers who are upsetting more than their share of -lasses should realize that the disgusted looks they receive from on lookers far overbalance the few admir ing glances which may reward tlieir efforts. Girls, do your “Etta-Ketting'' before and after school, — keep some beauty secrets to your.selves! DISILLUSIONED MAT.E. Plumbing the Depths If memory doesn't fail, it seems that one time it was said, “In order to reach the heights, a person must plumb the depth.s.” Perhaps that is why our in dustrial arts wood shop is put in the basement of onr school ... so that the students who work down there may ■each the top. Wo hope so, at any rate. But let us see what the industrial arts department at G. H. S. really does. This department in our high school includes the mechanical drawing and woodwork courses. Mechanical drawing is used in making plans for all typos of buildings, furniture, and everything in the mechanical world from the latest typo Diesel locomotive down to the smallest ladies’ wrist watch. Down ill the woodwork department, the aims arc as practical as in the drawing department. The pupils are taught the uses of handsaws, power saws, jointers, jig saws, and lathes. Last of all, if you wish to add spice to one of j'our dull days (and who doesn’t have them), come down to the woodwork .shop, or ,go over to the science building to the drawing room, and sec what the pupils are doing. Letters to Lulu Dear Lllii: I am very much in love with a chiirm- ing girl who ha.s all the beauty, brains, (‘tc., that any girl needs. (I’m not so bad-looking, either). This girl doesn't love me as much as I love her. I sit behind her in one class and near her in otliers, but she won’t oven write notes or talk to me. What can I do about it? ED. r.S.—Do you think she saw this let ter? That's the point! Dear Ed: The trouble with both of you is that you're too bashful. I’orhaps she's only waiting for encouragement. You can pretend to bo diiinh, and get her to help you with your assignments, and thus smooth the way toward asking her for a date. Try to get up some courage. Sincerely, LULU. P.S.—I am sure she saw this. The coiHiiicst is up to you! After attending State college for two years, Harold Hinshaw, former G. 11. S. student, is working as Boys’ Physical director at Cone’s Y. M. C. A. WE □ncr JirSS EDNA HYAMS The most popular girl at G. H. S, 1 You guessed it! IMiss Edna Ilyains, the efficient secretary i of Senior High. Here's the low - down: Having been born in Greensboro some 20-odd years ago, Miss Hyams began her career by attending the Greensboro Puiilic schools. At Senior High she took a conunercial course, and a f t 0 r her graduation, she worked in local stores until .she went to work in the office of Mr. Guy B. I’hil- Ii])s, who wa.s then snjterintendent of the city school system. J'wo years later she was transferred to Senior High, but unforfnnafely for us, she was sum moned to the Superintendent's office again, and did not resume work at (r. II. S. until September, 19:17. "IMy contai-ts wth the students,’’ she conunented, “are the things I enjoy most about my work. Another thing is the fact that I alwa.vs have enough to do to kecq) me on my to^^s.” Her ambition, it seems, i.s to become a sitccessfiil business woman. Mav we add that, in our ojiinion, tliat litue is net far off? She's very fond of chocolate caio' (or all .sweets, for that matter),- i)ut slie sim[)ly can't endure apples—not: even the shiny red ones. And her favorite flower i.s the rose. “Books?” she iueried. “I don't have titne to read much, not even the fimiiy papei-s. P>nt J do enjoy reading the front page news.” Right iK're. she was interrupted by someone who came into the clinic for nuHlical treatment. “Oh, y(‘s,” slu' whispered, as .she wetit on with another of her luutH'rous duties. "1 hate lirst aid !” ■•Y{‘s, I like faddy clotla'S,” slu' (‘on- timied, "but not too extreme. 1 like tall bats for small people, but not for m.v.self.” Wo did our best to make our attrac tive young seTetary admit to a pet jieeve, but the kindliness of her inner nature iirevented its coming out. She (lid, however, admit that she never sees a pill on the floor without stopping to pick it up. Miss Edna is an ardent movie fan, lireferring mainly the dramatic type of film, such as '‘The Good Earth,” or "J'he Plainsman.’’ She dislilo's most musical comedies. Football and basketball are her favorite spectator sports, and she also enjoy,s roller skating and bowling. “Like to dunce? Yes. but I hate swing! I do like to watch other people swing, however.” ^Miss Hyams is (piite fond of travel ing. having been to Now York twici', and to Florida, among other places. “I have another ambition now,” said Miss Hyams when we had run out of questions, and she was getting low on the answers,—“to give a better inter view next time." ^\'ell, wo saw no flaws in this one! Look Out Below! WHICH IS WHICH? It appears that two of om* musically- minded faculty members are being inis- takmi for twins—or rather that is what Mrs. T-zoGuin has reported. ’The other night at the Civic IMnsic association banquet, Mr. Cliarles Wilkins, chair man of the association, while making a few remarks stated that he was very glad to see the Stroud twins from Senior High, namely Mr. Britz and Mr. Hazelnian, there. Oh, well, all we can ,«ay is that we hope “they're happy about the whole thing.” Lee Cheek has returned to Senior High after spending some time in the hospital. uTiders^tand -Irna.'t Teachers Go to Richmond ?Jiss !Mnry yiorrow, Miss Dorothy JIcNairy, and Mrs. Blanche Smith were in Richmond recently, shopping and sight-seeing. Session Room Council Meets At its last meeting, the session room council elected Hobart JIcKec^ver vice- president. He succeeds India Groome, who resigned. Anderson Speaks to N. C. E. A. Meeting The subject for Mr. Ross Anderson’s talk at the N. C. E. A. business meet- ng was “Business Education in North Carolina.” Judge York Speaks to Girl Reserves Speaking on “Teen Age Citizenship,” Judge York, of the .juvenile court, met a hearty reception at the meeting of the Bo Worthwhile Girl Reserves, held March la. Room 304 Has Popsicle Party The losing 49’crs of Mrs. Blanche Sniitli's session room, 304. gave the Klondikcrs a popsicle party recently. Nature Study Class Visits Country Park Last week. Mrs. Blackburn’s Nature Study class observed the migrating Canadian geese, wood-ducks, and mus- covy ducks at the Greensl>oro country park. Peeler Visits G. H. S. ^Ir. Egbert N. Peeler, former business manager of the citj’ schools, now direc tor of the State Textbook commission, visited our school on Tuesday, March L". He checked the condition of the books. Hill Speaks to Hi-Y IMr. lilontgomevy Hill, jn'esident of the chamber of commerce, spoke to the 'munty TU-Y meeting last Monday night. Civitan Track Meet Sponsored by the Civitan club, North Carolina’s annual track meet is sched uled for the first week in !May'. Miss Fowler Finds Rare Flower After attending the state tcahers’ meeting in Raleigh Saiurday, Miss Fowler stopped at Wadesboro, where she found a very rare flower, a Bird’s Foot Violet. She brought the plant back with her for use in the nature study class. Highsmith Visits G. H. S. The ncwlj'-eleeted vice-president of N. C. E. A., Mr. J. H. Highsmith, was at G. H. S. recently observing the home economies classes. The shelves recently installed in front of the book room were built by the manual training department as a protection for students’ books. Duo to tiie cooperation of the stu- (lent.'i ill the magazine campaign, we will soon Imve 75 band members in uni form.” stated Mr. Herbert Hazolman, director of the high school band. ■‘Mon.suroments were taken for the uni- form.s rocmitly and the finished suits are expected iu time for the hand chapel program on A]ndl 11.” During 11h‘ next month and a half before Ibe mu.-^ie eoutost starting April 19, the band ha.s a full schedule. Be sides ])layiiig for G. II. S. it expects to perform at M'. C. U, N. ('., G. C.. and Central, Llndley, and Gillespie Junior liigh schools. Ollicials of the state music contest re cently made a ruling that bands shall he classed by their experience rather than tile size of the st-hool from which tlu'y come. According to this rule, our baud sliould enter class C, but Mr. Ilazelman tliiiiks that iirobably due to its (‘xcellent work, it will bo able to enter class B. If Ibe baiKl wins a first place in the state contest, it will accompany Mr. Ilazelman to Key West. Fla., in May for the national music contest. If the band a.s a whole docs not come out vic torious. winners of instrumental solos and en.sembles will make the trip. Jlr. Earl Slocum, former hand direc tor at G. H. S., and present head of the band at the University of Nortli Caro lina, visited the music department of oui' school 'Luesday, Mavcli 15. He is .said to have been favorably impressed by the progress made in the last two yours, but will save any criticism until the district tj-^'-onts, which will take place shortly liefore the state music contest. The mixed chorus, under the direc tion of Mr. Raymond Brietz, presented programs at Lindley Junior high scliool on 'l''hursday, March 17. and at Gil lespie Junior high school today. The chorus Sang the following selections: ".My Heart Hath a Mind.’’ Gaines; “Only Begotten Son,” Grechaninoff; “Now ’I'hank Vt'o All Our God,” Muel ler : "I AVish Use In Heaven Set’in Down": "Good Nows’’; “I Couldn’t Hear Nobody Pray"; “Everytime I Hear the Spirit.” Poet’s Corner F-4ERY SPRITE I like to think of fancy, As little bits that fly— From each a ribbon dangles. And floats before your eye. And when you see and catch it, And bring it to the earth, It then becomes a lovely thought Of sadness, joy, or mirth. NANCY O’BRIEN.
