Page Two A Good Choice! We know a good thing when we see it and we have certainly been seeing it in the cafe teria since the last issue of High Life. The cafeteria has a “new look” for it; the table top, so long hidden, can now be viewed even during second lunch period. Personally, we think it proves a lot—all good. Wliy, even Mr. Smith was proud! Letters to the Editor To the Editor of TIigh Life Dear Sir: Recently it seems there has been an epi demic of water pistols around Senior High School. It really isn’t safe to walk around the halls for fear of getting soaked. I would just like for all of us to remember we are in Senior high school and not a kindergarten. I am quite sure some of the boys have for gotten. So, boys, wliy not put the play toys away and act like 18-year-old boys instead of two-year-olds? Sincerely, D. H. To the Editor Dear Sir: Last week, I was leisurely walking to my sixth period class. Just as I paused to open the door marked “Room 10,” the bell sound ed—followed by utter chaos! Studes scur ried off to class, and shrieks resounded all through the halls. Fearful lest I be trampled to death, I hurried to open the door to safety, but -a moment too late, for I was blocked by an onrushing student and was knocked down. Fortunately, there were a few people stand ing around who were uninjured, and I was helped to my feet. A lot of people could be saved a lot of bruises if a slower pace could be attained by H. H. S. studes in the halls. After all, “Bet ter late than never.” Take it from me, for I doubt if I will ever be the same again. Gee, these desks have felt powerful hard since my accident I B. B.

Routb APRII> 23, 1948 Improved— Yet Not Perfect SPRING ... And a Young Man’s Fancy By WABEEN LEONAKD Dear Gus: I am so happy. I would like to share my happiness with you by telling you that since spring is here the two things I like about it are the warm fluffy air and the fact that we are allowed to write our term papers. Most people like to write e.specially when there is a good movie on in town. When I stay home knd write on my term paper, it gives me an excuse for missing the picture. In writing my term paper I get to go to such places as the Greensboro Public Library and spend an afternoon there. I hardly mind missing a good ball game if 1 get to do this. SUNRISE SERENADE . or Why Didn’t I Get More Sleep? By LOWELL DBAZEB I felt as though I were getting up in the middle of the night when I arose at 6 o’clock Tuesday morning. Leaving my house, I saw Boh Waugh, the local paper boy, doing his morning chores. He was flabbergasted when he saw me up and around so early, since I usually leave • home around 8:30. Upon arriving at school at C :45 Tues day, I saw a large group of some .50 people could be in front of the main door bathing in the early rays of the morning sun. They were all crowded around the main door, pushing madly and yawniixg, trying to keep from going to sleep. A city bus suddenly pulled up from nowhere and 21 people sprinted up to the door. Some body wasn’t going to get registered for the Washington trip, since only 70 could go. In the meantime, Spencer Blaylock and a few others were busy getting a list of the iieople in the order in wliich they arrived. This stopped mo.st of the trampling. Mr. Routh then unlocked the front door, while all waited in anticipation. Lawrence Edgerton, who was the first to be seen here at 5:30 was checked off. and he walked in the door. It was re ported from reliable sources that young Edgerton comped on the school grounds overnight. At 7:30, Paul Patton, Joe Johnson, Ilub Johnston, and Joe Self walked up to the front door asleep and ^inquired if anyone else besides had arrived yet. In the meantime a group of some 34 people had gathered around the door waiting to register. All were disappointed when they learned that the first seventy • had al ready signel up. Muttered cries could be heard, “Oh! If only I had gottra here ten minutes earlier, but the' day was saved by the generosity of Mr., Routh who made reservations for 35 more r people. It seems when I go to the Public Library I accomplish so much. I guess the rea son is that practically all GHS students have almost memorized where all the books are. Then, too. another reason for the popu larity of the term paper is that it is such an easy thing to write. Most of ns know how to do it even before we start. Last, but not least, of the reasons we are glad is that after we have written onr paper, we can look down at the juniors and smile gently at th^pi, especi ally because they think term papers are so hard too write. Now do you see why I am so happy Gus? Oh ! Joy ! Your cousin, Jake “A Fellow Needs a Girl” By FEANCES NEWTON Eyeing “Linda,” a beautiful “Ballerina” strolling “On the Avenue” “In That Old Indian Summer,” “Uncle Remus Said,” “There’s a Great Day Coming” when “Sooner or Later” “If I’m Lucky” “People Will Say We're In Love.” “That’s My Desire,” “Uncle Remus Said,” to have a “Blue Heaven” with “Honey” and declared “I Love You Truly,” while “Linda,’' “A Gal In Calico,” muttered “Sho’Nuff.” “Because,” “Uncle Remus Said,” 'T Love You For Senimental Rea sons” and hy-the-way “I Can't Give You Anything But Love, Baby,” “How Soon” can we have an “Apple Blossom Wed ding?” “Breathless” “Linda” replied, “Some Sunday Morning,” then fixed her “Golden Earrings,” smoothed her “Sweet Little Alice Blue Gown” and winked at him with her “Green Eyes.” During “April Showers” to the “Sernade of the Bells.” they strolled “Together” to “Dea con Jones.” “The Stars Will Remember” the bride, a “Honseysuckle Rose” carry ing a boquet of poison “Ivy,” while Uncle Remus, in “Deep Purple” felt like a “Steam Roller” and looked like '‘Ragtime Cowboy Joe,” “Along the Navajo Trail.” At “Three O’clock In the Morning” they caught the “Chattanooga Choo Choo” to "New Orleans,” then “South of the Border” for a “Honeymoon.” “Passing By” they declared “This Is Always” while “Pig-Foot Pete” shouted "It Ain’t Neecessarily So.” “That’s the Beginning of the End.” “As Time Goes By” there are “Ten Little Indians” “Deep in the Texas” “Feuding, Fussing, and Fighting,” while “Linda” wails “Pass That Peace Pipe” and “Uncle Remus Said” with “A Touch of Texas,” “I’m My Own Grandpa,” ‘Im An Old Cowhand” and “I Don’t Want her, You Can Have her. She’s Too Fat For Me.” Which Suit’s M By Polly White HEARTS (lonely) Seems to me something could be done about a pair of long faces over here at GHS, namely Sara Tompson and Jimmy Overbuy’s. How about it, you two? The same 'thing goes for Lynn Goodman and Jimmy Troxler. Onesomes can get awfully lonesome. DIAMONDS Patty Jean Ledford is engaged to Bob Stone of Fitzgerald, Georgia. Miss Fisher is engaged to Howard Shearin. Tommy Ward and Mary Bett Ward were recently married. (That’s keeping the name in the family, isnt it?) Tommy is one of the star players on the basket ball team and Mary Bett attended GHS last semester. Congratulations to both of you' ’ SPADES It seems that Red Frazier is really working for his diploma this time.
