BAGATAILS
Hurdy-Gurdy
I have a hurdy-gurdy mind
That grinds out nonsense on this and
that—
Como rain or shine I never stop—
I'd like a penny in my hat.
FIG ERA TIVELY 8PEAKIN G
As determined as the dehatiny team
to reach Chapel Hill.
As haywire as a yirl’s hair when 'the
north ivind Wows.
He was as fresh as his news!
DON'T LIVE TOO GKEEDILY—
MAKE EACH SMALL JOY LAST,
DO NOT WEIGH YOUR FUTURE
WITH AN UNDIGESTED BAST!
The Pur pose of High Life Is to
"'^et and preserve the history of
our school.
H
old individuals together under
high standards.
'^eparate the worthwhile from the
f xvorthless and promote the
highest interest of students,
teachers, and school.
So What?
Don’t worry if you don’t understand the tax situation, the legislator,'
don’t understand it eitluu-.
A worm may turn, but a pialestrian never has a chance.
Most of the peojile who have so much to say “agin’’ the constitution, have
probably never read it.
It will be noticed that so many of our students are making a very thor
ough jireparation for their future—a life in the gutter.
Skip day won’t be anything new to some of those seniors.
Do You Want A Job?
Ill four yetirs, or in a great many cases, less than, four years, the
students now in lijgli school will be trying to make a living. One of
prime retjuirements of an eiiiployoe is honesty. Once a person gets
the ha])its of fudging on liimsclf and his friends, it’s hard to Itreak.
That is one of tlie many reasons that the results of the recent honesty
])oll were so disappointing.
in semester eight, seniors said tliat they received aid, and 145
said that tliey did not. In tlie columu for giving aid, 158 said they
did, and ]20 said they did not.
The remaining semesters do not have a record as good as that
of the June graduates. From this it is evident that something needs
to bo done. .If we expect to get and hold jobs in the future, and if
we expect to ])c able to respect ourselves, something must be done now.
g\ltJiough worn t]iread-])are, the old, old saying that, “honesty is the
l)est policy” is .still true today.
Let’s Cooperate!
The student counci] wants to help YOU make Senior High a ])etter
place to go to school. But it can’t do it without your cooperation.
Just eleven pooi)le can’t possibly do everything. It needs the full
suj)i)ort of each and every pupil.
If you Ihink the school would profit by some new custom, don’t
just complain to your classmates. Tell a council member about it.
Then it will be taken up in a student council meeting, discussed, aiid
definite action taken, if possible.
So try to cooperate with your council, in order that Greensboro
Senior liigh school will march on toward tlie ideal—a high school
whose morals and rules are set up and oliserved by all students.
Squeak On, Hurache!
(’au’t someone invent an “unsipieaker” to iiuiffle that annoying
strawy music that originated in the land of Iluraehc?
In the classes, in the halls, and on the grounds, the wearer of
tliese haystacks is as easily identified as a cow wearing a hell. At any
rate, the upswcjit liair-do, wliicli recently caused so much ado, remained
quiet about tlic wliole thing.
Consequently, since tlicse shoes have entered into the present fash
ionables with great “resound,” and since we expect to be hearing a
great deal from them in the future, we at least ask that the “Ilura-
choers” change the tune of that cliair-hottom music.

Double Featiire-itis
I’ve an ache in iny back
And a pain in niy neck,
ily eyes have grown dim,
:\Iy nerves are a wreck;
ily whole left leg
Is so sound asleep
That I walk with a drunken lurch
and sweep.
Fin thirsty and tired
And a bit irate,
For I’ve missed my bus
And will get home late.
But oh, my goodness!
JIow I’ve had fun—
I’ve seen two shows
P’or the price of one!

Right here’s one of those spots that
give editors nightmares—specifically,
blank space. No matter how well the

by the time they Hnally get to th(>

LETTERS
TO
LULU
Dear Lulu:
I am considered a fairly good-look
ing boy, with personality and plenty
of money. Also I’m in love with a
charming girl. But she won’t even
so much as look at me. Why? Be
cause I am a victim of a terrible
thing called kleptomania. Every time
I see some little article lying around,
I just pick it up and walk off with
it. When I had a date with this
girl not long ago, I walked off with
an antique pitcher of her mother’s.
This is the reason for her feelings
toward mo. Is there anything I can
do to break myself of this habit, or
was 1 just born with it?
“KLEPTOMANIAC.”
Dear '■Kleptomaniac” :
If you have any will power at all,
maybe I can help you. Every time
you feel the urge to take so'mething,
turn your back on it, count ten, and
repeat ‘‘I do not want it” twenty
times. If you do this a number of
times, you may bo rewarded.
LULU.

Lilting music,
dreamy and gay,
Graceful figures,
that swing and sway,
Queenly gowns,
peacock nnd crim.son,
Fluttering fans,
waved coyly, that beckon.
Wild terraces,
now glowing in moonlight,
Lover’s bole, kisses,
all maidens delight—
A four-in-hand .-^hay—
the end of the night.

Brains: “We’re going—oh, joy!”
