FULL RADIO PROGRAM
REVIEWED FOR YEAR
Astonisliing Number of Studies Are
I'resonted by Students of
Local Scliools.
"Approximatei.v one hundred educa
tional radio programs have been pre
sented by the city schools during the
past twelve months,” stated Miss
Eunice Kneece. radio chairman, yes
terday. “Although this record is good,
.she continued, “it is hoped that
through the aid of the newly-organized
city-school radio council that even
greater and more effective work will
be done in the future.”
Already there is concrete evidence
that Greensboro pupils and teachers
have become more radio-conscious, as
several of the schools have each room
equipped with radio facilities, which
make it possible for planned reception
of the American School of the Air
broadcasts and other programs of a
similar nature.
In addition, Senior High has two
radio clubs, one a radio drama work
shop, simnsorcd by Miss Cason, and a
Radio Appreciation club, directed by
Miss Cohoon. Elections of the last-
named group were held this week,
with the result that Patty Hammond
was elected president.
ART GROUP WINS PRIZES
AT FAIR IN RALEIGH
Two prizes of $30 were awarded
to the art exhibit of the Greensboro
city schools at the state fair hold in
Raleigh last week. The exhibit, which
represented work done in all the
grades, elementary through senior
high, was assembled under the direc
tion of Mrs. Mary Leith Stewart, art
supervisor.
The city school art department has
also been asked to display its work
at the district meeting of the Tennes
see Educational association, which
will meet at Knoxville within the
next month.
Social Standards day, the annual
date for the study of social ethics at
Greensboro High school, has been set
tentatively for the first or second
Tuesday In December, stated Douglas
Hunt, student clainnan for tho’ evehii
this week. This will be about a month
later than last year's conference date.
However, neither the prhu-ipal speak
ers nor the theme for the conference
has been announced, but the committee
expects to make formal statements in
the near future. Serving as faculty
advisers for the committee are Mr.
‘Tliomas and Mrs. Elacklnirn.
The day's schedule will follow very
closely that of the preceding year's in
reference to as.semblies, group meet
ings, and special conferences. Two
new features last year, the special
class lunch periods, and the omitting
of the banquet and football game, will
remain the same as last year's plan.
Every year one day is set aside
for the conference, and on this date
books are closed while the entire stu
dent body learns to improve its
social, school, and business ethics.
With “Conduct” as a theme for last
year, and “Values” as the keynote for
two years ago, the conferences have
become a vital part of student life.
Both students and teachers have come
to realize the importance of this con
ference, and the many benefits derived
from it. As someone has said, “All
knowledge is not in books.”

What about if, maids'? Think you
can run fast enough to get your man?
We mean the feminine faculty mem
bers (single, of course), not the stu
dents. They wouldn't be interested
in matrimony; furthermore. G. II. S.
pupils are a bit too young.
And don't you think that when the
new track is finished, it will be just
the right starting point? Mr. Aycock
thinks so, because he has already been
chasing jack-rabbits to get in prac
tice. He says, however, that if the
right maid starts after him, he is go
ing to stump his toe and fall.
Perhaps some of the “men-beasts”
in the race, in addition to Mr. Aycock,
will be Alessrs. Richards, Thomas,
and Brietz. (Messrs. Hucks and Jen-
rette were caught during the sum
mer.) As for one of the ferns, Miss
Causey says that she will be “inter
ested.” Whether as an observer or
participant, would be difficult to say.
We hope not onl.v that no one will
get hurt in the mad rush, but also
that they will be satisfied with results.
Maids, if this be your last chance to
catch, or, men, if this be your first
■hance to be caught ( do your best to
be a good sport!
Shrubs Requested for School
Students whose parents are trans
planting their lawns this fall are
asked to bring any surplus lobelia
shrubs to school, in order that they
may be used to beautify the campus.
Any contributions for this service will
be appreciated.
In ir(ler to celel)rate the first North
Ciirolinu High School day, Jim Joyner,
president of the student body of the
I'liiveisify of North Carolina, has
extended an invitation to every high
school senior in the state to spend
the day on (he University campus
when the Tar Heels clash with V. P. 1.
on November 5. Tins day wa.s set
aside by the school to the end that
(ivery boy and girl in the slate might
liecome better acquainted with his
university.
As there is to be no formal program,
the seniors will be free from the time
of their arrival until 1 o'clock, when
the different high school bands will
give a concert in Kenan stadium. At
2 o'clock they will attend the Caro-
liua-V. P. I. football game as guests
of the university, thus climaxing the
day.

Canned Dates
—or What Have You?
Miss Garlick, member of G. H. S.
English department, was the guest ]
speaker at the meeting of the Old
Bute chapter of the Daughters of the
American Revolution society at Hen
derson, N. C., on October 8. Miss
Garlick presented a well-developed talk
on the subject of colonial kitchens.
A musical program in harmony with
the speech was also enjoyed.
That Americans buy practically
everything in cans may be true, but
when they start receiving letters and
informal notes in these tin contain
er's, that's just carrying things a bit
too far.
Such was probably the opinion
voiced by Mrs. Stanley Johnson, when
she found the following note all packed
up with the “Popeye special” in a
container which she had bought, en
tirely in good faith, as a can of spin
ach. If read:
'For Margaret — I’ve noticed that
yoir play tenuis. How about a set
tomorrow morning at the Delmas
Courts. Answer (.ves or no.) Yours
respectfully. Trucker A1 (the fellow
with the red sweater.)”
Although we may wonder if “Truck
er AI” ever got to first base, there
is one fact of which we may be sure—
“Jabbo” didn't eat any of the spinach.
Sight'Saving Classes Aid

Two faculty members of the Senior
High commercial department, Mr. W.
A. Richards and Mr. G. H. Parker,

Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Mis.sissippi,

and the community.
G. H. S. BAND PERFORMS
AT HIGH POINT SCHOOLS
The Greensboro high school band,
under the direction of Mr. Herbert
Ilazelman, maestro of Senior High,
played Thursday, October 20, at High
Point junior high school and also at
the senior high for chapel programs.
For the past three years Mr. Hazel-
man has conducted the celebrated
band of G. IL S. The band began
with 18 men and has increased greatly
each year, so that there are now over
00 boys and girls representing the
school in this t.vpe of music. During
these years the school hasf spent about
two thousand dollars for new uni
forms and other materials needed to
make the organization what it is.
Last year in the state music contest
the band was the only one in the state
to rate Al plus.
In order to make possible an edu
cation for those pupils who are not
blind, but who, because of eye diffi
culties, cannot properly carry on the
work under conditions provided in the
I'egular classroom, a special sight-sav
ing class has been established at
Central Junior High. The group is
under the direction of Miss Lula
Gilbert.
lu these classes, special equipment
is used, such as indirect lights to
eliminate glare, adjustable desks to
enable pupils to obtain the most ad-
antugeous positions, books printed
dth large type on special paper, uii-
glazed paper, and pencils with extra
black and large leads for writing,
special outline maps and globes, and
a typewriter which makes bulletin
sized type.
Emphasis is placed on as much oral
work as possible, a period of close-eye
work being followed by one that does
not call for such strenuous use of
the ej'cs. Subjects such as arithmetic,
r(>adiiig, spelling, and writing are
taught in the special classes, but
social studies, music, oral language,
and physical education are taught in
the regular grades.
The idea of special methods for
educating children with defective vis
ion was brought to this country from
.England in 1900 liy Edward E. Allen,
who. after years of labor, succeeded in
('onvincing the authorities of Boston
that they should inaugurate these spe
cial classes.
