paper of Stokes Rawlins to Chapel Hill
to be judged in the finals of the state
m.'ith contest. The test, which was con
ducted all over North Carolina a fort
night ago, was given to 30 G. H. S.
juniors and seniors, and the highest
papers from each school have been sent
to Chapel Hill.
Stokos, who is a senior, has been
-outstanding during his entire school
career. He is serving this year as
vice-president of the senior class.
Ranking second in this school was
the paper of Carl Compton; but because
of the- large number of entrants this
year in the finals, Greensboro was al
lowed to enter only one paper, instead
of three, as of last year.

Each year tho “Business Education

American ('olligos in business letter-
writing. Tho class in business cor-
respondenco at Woman’s college "won
the silver loving cup in the 1938 con

Do you think that American moving
pictures give a true picture of Amer
ican life? Forty-eight iier cent of the
-students here at G. H. S., compared
with 26 ])('r cent of the English stu-
cleiits, answered this question nega-
lively.
Mrs. Smith’s history 8 class recently
gave this (]uestion and 15 other similar
questions to approximately 210 students
hero at school. The class obtained the
epustion from the “American Observer,”
which publi.she-d the answers of Englisk
chirdren.
M'hile comiiaring the answers of the
British with those of G. H. S, students,
it is easil.v understood how internation
al misunderstandings arise. The great
difference in tho answers lies in the
various wa.vs in which the British and
.'Vmerican students look upon Amer
icans ;uul American problems.
