weapon against legislation of which he.
disapproved. His selection of the best
speaker was also the senator from
Asheville.

SENIOR HIGH ALUMNI
WILL CONVENE JAN. 2
Large Number of College
Students Expected
To Attend.
January 2 has been marked up on
the calendar of Greensboro high school
events as the date for the annual “Home
Coming Day.” A large number of

North Carolina, Duke university,
Greensboro college, and Guilford col
lege are exitected to be present.
(jray Mills High, the student chair
man of the alumni committee, and Miss
Margaret Sledge, faculty adviser, an
nounce that there will he a chapel
program, for juniors and seniors on
this day, presented by former Senior
high school students.
The “home-comers” will be at school
all day, and lumdi will be served for
them in the cafeteria.
Dog-Days Are Here Again
The calendar is respected by every
one. and of course every intelligent per
son realizes that August is marked as
the official close of dog-days, but for
one time in high school history the
juniors and seniors of G. H. S. have
disagreed with old man time. No, this
doesn’t mean that mad dogs are run
ning loose or that dog-wood trees are
in bloom. It simply goes to explain a
very unusual occurrence of J'nesday's
chapel program.
Just as everyone was. seated, impa
tiently waiting for something to hap-
ptui, it happened. A dog came up on
the .stage, walked the microphone,
wagged his tail, and, amid a burst of
cheers and laughter, slowly walked to
the far exit.
