Adviser Mr. Sam J. Underwood Art Adviser Mrs. Grace Faver Financial Adviser Mr. A. P. Routh DECEMBER 3, 1948 Ah—That Chapel Conduct! Looks like there’s trouble brewing again— same old situation—Ah, That Chapel Con duct! What a menace to the school it is! How can we get rid of it ? Teachers complain, speakers complain, even students complain about our number one fault—that is, chapel conduct. It seems whenever there’s a serious program we’re light-hearted, and anything that happens to be funny, we usually miss the point. Of course this antagonistic difference in moods may be because there is so much noise and disturbance from the various parts of the audience that we just cannot possibly get the significance, or the point of the pro gram. This is no excuse, howeyer, because this disturbance goes right back in the chapel misconduct cfltegory. Now let us lobk at the bright side of the situation. When there is a comical program, we do seem to be more attentive and less noisy. Could this be because we aren’t seri ous enough ? Can’t we understand the serious part of life? Either we are behaving like children, or we have the understanding of children. Far be it that we be accused of either. This still doesn't seem to be “the bright side of the situation,” however. Then, there must be no bright side. The only way we can remedy the whole affair is by erasing the entire situation. Now, ceremonies like the Torchlight and Y-Teens programs are of a serious nature. Quite a lot of teachers were most critical of our behavior in chapel at those specific in stances. We can’t blame them. We have only ourselves to blame; and to blame our selves is to realize our mistakes; and, in turn, to realize them should be to correct them! It seems to us that in a fine school such as Senior is, a speaker would and should expect one of the best representations of the state. In consequence, it follows that we should be satisfied with nothing less than giving an impression of understanding and appreciation. In the future, then, let’s all work together to give an impression of sincerity and let it be known' that we here at Senior have an understanding far superior to that of a nor mal high school student body. Working together, and only working to gether will solve the difficulty—that old stand ing problem of chapel conduct! Sympathy is extended by High Life on behalf of the student body to Miss Lucile Brown, upon the loss of her brother.

Bev^s Brevities By Beverly Baylor THE SAGA OF SAM BRTFSPLK A light, pale individual, Sam was born in a log cabin he built with his own hands. His mother, who was expecting either a boy or a girl, was surprised to see him, but W'orshiw»ed the ground he . plowed on. Leaving home in a 1915 Tan trum, Sam headed East to make his for tune. On© day he was walking down the street when all of a sudden he saw a little girl running away with a horse. Thinking quickly, he clocked her a 2:38 and called his bookie. Suddenly, her derby-decked father presented his card and said, “Congratulations you quick witted, bright young man, let me give you a helping hand.” To make a short story long, Sam got handed the girl, man-ied her, and settlel NUMBER, PUZ CONSOLATION The past has a balm all its own, That covers the path we took wrongly; But there’s always a gleaming light That shines on the future path strongly. Don’t look back—at the scarred and dusty path; But look ahead to the new, For the one ahead is smoother and clearer If you, the maker, are true. Pat Mateer Generosity . . . Money Alone? One of the things that G.H.S.’ers pride themselves in is their charitable ness. Whenever the need arises, it can never be said that we here at Senior are lagging behind. In the recent Red Cross drive and in the Thanksgiving offering, our school went “over the top.” Some folks are under the impres sion that generosity deals only with monej". They are quite far from right 1 In a broader sense of the word, gen erosity includes service, and time giving, as well as money-giving. You must admit that without students giv ing their extra time—time “more than necessary”—few activities would ex ist. Those who give their time at the Youth Center, the student council, new^spaper work, and other clubs, are in the highest sense of the word being charitable. Quite often, we’re liable to forget these students who give their time and effort, but we should stop and think of the trouble and obstacles in their paths. A dance which goes off smoothly seems to be most trivial, but if we were to consider the time and planning put forth in it, we would realize that it is a most complicated matter. Dances just don’t arrange themselves. Thanks, then, to those who arrange and plan all the numerous activities of the school; thanks to those who give their extra time to worthy causes! Senior is indeed rich with those who possess generosity. THE NIGHT SCENE DISC AND DAT by Ted Thompson Editor’s Note : In the a'bsence of Ted Thompson, this week’s Disc amd Bat is devoted to a report of recordings that our school library has. These albums may be used in connection with classes and student groups. The following selections from master pieces of American and English literature should be of interest to English and Dra matics classes. Senior High School is for- tunate to have such a collection whose general themes fall roughly into the fol lowing subdivisions: patriotism, histori cal speeches and proceedings, Shake speare’s selections, and many general lit erary types. Odes, sonnets, humorous poems, and nature poems compose the general group of albums. Teachers and students may find that by using th^e albums and recordings, our culture her itage may become more interesting and alive. down to a hand-to-mouth existence test ing toothpicks. Forever anti-conmninist, Sam didn’t make a Red cent the rest of his life. JOKES Jimmie Neale—^I don’t think I deserved a zero on that test. Teacher — Well, personally, I don’t EITHER, but thats the lowest I could think of. Question—What did the termite say to his father? Answer—Beat me daddy, I ate the bar. For personality plus, dial-21424. If you hit a snag in your homework, dial-23744. n For cute dates, dial-23363. For a good wisecrack, dial-20969. For the latest news, dial-22903. If you know any news, dial-8521. If you have problems that need ironing out, dial-33346 (Ask for Weddie). For a cheerful hello, dial 37903. For the coiTect time, dial-33401. BULLETINS It is reported that the hayride given last Saturday night by the Mariner Scouts was MUCH FUN. “Monk,” how are the High-Pointers you have been dating? It certainly was good to see all those ex-GHS studes over the Turkey holidays. SEEN REGULARLY TOGETHER: Addie Belle Clemmons and Kemp Clen- denin (they’re going steady, now.) Bae Morning and Sid Wade, and Bill Craw ford and Editha Stone. The D.D.T’s. are really planning a BIG dance for the Chiistmas holidays. It is rumored that hundreds of people will soon receive invitations to skip the light fan tastic at Greensboro CountiT Club on De cember 22nd. A breakfast will be given immediately following the dance for the D.D.T. members and their dates, and several members have expressed the hope that a small orchestra might furnish music for the clancc. All in all, December 22nd should prove to be an important date on the social calendar for the 1948 Yuletide season. The history classes might be interested to know that the library has many re cordings of historical significance. Fol lowing are some of the recordings: “Get tysburg Address,” “Declaration of Inde pendence,” “Patriotism,” “In Time of the Breaking of Nations,” “Inaugural Ad dress,” “Farewell Address,” “Santa Fe Trail,” “To Althea from Prison,” “llay- fiower Ckimpact,” “Empire Builders,” “On the Date Massacre in Piedmont,” and many others. Dramatics groups and English claves will be interested to know that there are many of the famous Shakespeare albums to be obtained from the library. Included in this collection are Shakespeare’s “Ham let,” “Julius Caesar,” and “Macbeth.” Orson Wells, Maurice Evans, and Rath- bone may be heard rendering the famous selected passages from Shakespeare. Also, Sonnet XXIX from Shakespeare may be heard. Many ballad.s, lyrics, and poems of general interest may be obtained. Many will be delighted to know that Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” can be heard. Our library' has this reading by Rathbone and a Hollywood cast; many will recall that the late Professor Koch from the Uni versity of North Carolina used to give this popular Christmas rendition each year. The popular American contemporary poet, Robert Frost, may be heard reciting “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” and other selections. Keats’ “On First Looking Into Chapman’s Homer” as well as his “Ode on a Grecian Urn” may be heard. There are too many recordings to be commented on separately, but a partial list of the masterpieces follows: Shelley: “Ode to the West Wind” and “Ozymandier.” Sandbury: “The Fog” and “Lost.” Tennyson; “Crossing the Bar” and “Break, Break, Break.” Wordsworth: “The W’orld Is Too Much With Us.” Lanier: “America” and “Song of the Chauahoochee.” Lindsay: “The Congo.” Hourman: “Loveliest of Trees.” Herrich: “To the Virgins to make much of time.” Bryant: “To a W'aterfowl.” Bruns: “A Red, Red Rose.” Arnold: “Dover Black.” Clough: “The Old Woman,of the Woods.” It is hoped that this splendid record collection may be used to a Just advantage. Seen at the Youth Center the other night getting a big rush, was Margaret Underwood, the attractive sophomore who transferred to GHS from Curry this year. It seems that a certain boy was in a mighty big hurry to get out of one fourth period class on the morning of November 23rd. Say Cheyney, what’s the rush? It was a dark and obscure night; The moon unique shone down. The trees, eccentric in the scene. Cast shadows all around. From far away a coyote’s ejaculated cry Bi-oke the stillness of the night and echoed to the sky. Pat Mateer STELLA High in the east a Star shone dim. Then brighter and brighter gleamed. The shepherds saw it as for years tl had dreamed And knew they must go to find Him. It shone so bright It was like daylight, And all around you could see The mountains, the valleys, the fore and plains, And even the far-stretched sea. But the star shone not for the mounta and plains, Nor for the far-stretched sea: It shed its light in a dazzling glow For the God of eternity. Pat Mateer
