the magazine contest victorious, Jim Perrin shakes a threatening finger
under the nose of American league leader, Harriet Sink. If everybody

“Pops” and “Moms”—
and a “Typical School Day”
“Now we understand,” chorused the
parent-^, after wearily waiting in line
for their eats at the P.-T. A. meeting
held last night. The parents were each
given a schedule with five minute
classes to attend. Dot Hendrix, Lib
Xewton, and INliss Blackmon were sta
tioned at various places to see that the
•’I’ops" and “Moms” got to the right
places, and end in the cafeteria.
The parents* return to “the little red
school house” should be a lot of help iu
arousing sympathy for the troubles of
their “Janes'’ and Willies.” Now they
know the torture of the long lino, and

PLACED BY MISS PRICE
^Miss Christine I'rice has announced
that tliirty-five people have been placed
by fhe Dii ersitied Occupations program
of which she is the coordinator. Miss
I’rice has placed girls in office and
•sales jobs, newspaper work, and
pathology laboratories. Boys have ob
tained work in auto meelianics, stock-
rooms, sales work, general office jobs,
and radio repair work.
“It would be possible to place addi
tional office workers," Miss I’rice de-
claved, “if the studmits were well-cjuaii-
fied for tliis work. There are, at pres
ent, unfilled openings in mechanical en
gineering, electrical repair work, and
inferior decorating."
Mr. Mathis and iMiss I’rice hope that
all students interested in practical
training, in fliese or other lines, will
contact them during the spring semes

“Toll tlie l)ell.
For lovely Nell."
Yes, “Nellie" was a lady, but the
other day she drew her last breath and
rt'fiised to run again. Little by little
parts of I'.er bad been dropping offi.
until she was almost past going, but
oil Ili(‘ drastic moru of January 23rd,
the last but not least, bit of her "en-
tcrs" tell out, and, thus, her noble life
ended.
J’o this honored being, the biology
students of Senior liigh owe practically
ad of tlieir intelligence, as “Nellie"
\A:is viie oiiiy means by which Mrs.
Biacl-ibuni could come to them each
day.
No, you're wrong, “Nellie” wasn't an
"old grey mare,’ but she was Mr. and
iirs. Blackburn’s old car. Uemember
how lordly they looked as they came
to and from the alma mater?
With the death of “Nellie" the lordly
look was washed away, and ilr. and
Ml'S. Plaekbnrn have become quite mod
ern in their new ’3i> Cliovrolet.

Th(‘ art exhibit wbicli is arranged
around tlie upper cases of the school
library is most iiitevesfing in that the
posters are drawn and water-colored
by students from the Woman's College.
The pictures were painted at the Beau
fort Art Colony. Also, the glass case
contains an arrangement of tinted post
cards, duplicating many famous points
of interest in England.
Another instructive contribution to
tile high school library is the addition
one bnudred and fifty new books,
many of which have beeu selected

({uently, a successful semester of inter
esting reading sliould be forthcoming.
“I tiiul it bard to say what I think
of Green'sb(;vo high school, since I have
been here for such a little time,” an
swered Jane Sloan, the new German
student who has entered tliis school as
a sophomore, liiibn being (lueried as to
her opinion of the high school.
Jane lived approximately twenty-five
miles from Berlin, (fermany, with her
father, mother, and brother. For four
years she attmided school in the Reich-
Innd capitol. after which the Sloan
family moved to Switzerland. Two
months of fifteen she spent there as a
student were devoted to mastering the
English language. Her progress in the
latter has been steadily increasing since
her arrival in America, altliougli she
sometimes finds it difficult to express
herself without resorting to French or
her native German.
“On November lb, my family and I
boarded the Manhattan and reached
the Fnited States after nine diiys,” she
as.serted, and then added that the jour-
