December 3, 1948 High Life Page Seven MUSIC NOTES By Ann Russell Tbe Mgh school band was sup posed to be assisted by all the junior high bands last week during the half time of the Greensboro- Rocky Mount football game. The hands were to give an Army-Navy show which consisted of Army and Navy monograms and the American flag. were to see the younger drum majorettes, and to you “Lind- ley Alumnae” the Lindley band has a girl for their “drum major.” She is high stepping Patsy Coble. The show was to be very colorful. The high school band has definite ly been given the right to go to Tampa, Florida in April, and now the members are working on the expenses and getting in the concert band. As one of the requirements, everyone seems to have taken on new life in the band since the final announcement and they have been doing some “extra” practice. After the football season is closed the band will meet for practice every Thursday night in addition to the regular classes. The orchestra is now working on their Christmas music and music they will do with the choir. Among the selections is the ever popular “White Christmas.” Some of the orchestra members will go to Flori da in April too, but they have not been chosen. The Greensboro Symphony has a representative group from Ihe high school of both orchestra and band members. The orchestra misses Jane Collision the year, but she is now a W.C. student. She brings her cello and plays in the Symphony every Monday night. Many of the teachers also take part in this orchestra. It is really a fine organization. They will accompany “The Messiah,” given annually by the Euterpe Club of Greensboro. The vocal practices have been well under way, as the conductor of both choir and orches tra is Dean Altvater of Woman’s College. The choir is made up off members of church and school choirs mostly and other interested towns people. The orchestra is made up of teachers and students of music from high schools and colleges. A Little o’ This and a Little o’ That Money doesn’t buy everything. Many things can be had without working for them—most of which are things no one wants. The most annoying type of talker is the pest who sets his tongue wagging and then lets his mind wander. When a fellow is reputed to be "as honest as the day is long,” one can’t help wondering how he acts after sundown. The person who keeps looking back will find himself going that way. If a man names ten things no man can do, nine of them are things he thinks he can’t do. A person who thinks of others’ needs and happiness is like a light EDFORDHAM Realtor Phone 2-4730 Everyone Has Fun at the HAWKINS’ SKATING RINK ORD—Phone 3-9746 Evening Session 8 to 10 Friday and Saturday 7 to 11 Sunday Afternoon 3 to 5 Classes for Instruction Afternoons 6 Lessons — $2.50 Special Rates for Clubs and Parties GREENSBORO MUSIC COMPANY, Inc. 207 West Market St. Phone 2-0739 turned on in a dark, shadowy room. Men often stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off the opposite way without facing the truth. One of the finest things a wife should learn to ask is: “Can we afford it?” The farther we go in life, the bigger become the little things. Our opinion of people depends less upon what we see in them, than upon what they make us see in our selves. The difference between a conviction and a prejudice is that one can ex plain a conviction without getting angry. —Taken from the Midway Echo. Patronize our advertisers. Daily Doubles By Joan Klein This couple’s romantic history is rather novel . . . they met Septem ber 18, 1047 in chapel. They started going steady soon after that, and they are still one of the cutest couples around Senior. They like to go to the show, the Youth Center, and to just have fun. He couldnt pick out one special thing about her that he especially likes. When asked, he merely said, “I just like her!” She dittoed his statement, only in reverse, and said, “I like everything about him . . . even his big appetite.” She is a member of the Sub-Deb club and the Mariner Scouts. He is on the football team, and he likes any kind of sports. She is a junior, and doesn’t have any plans con cerning college, as yet. He is a senior and plans to attend Duke.

This area is open during lunch period only, and smoking in all other places on the ground is for bidden during and after school hours. Any infraction of these rules lower the standards of the school. For this and other reasons those caught disobeying the rules will be severly punished. The traffic squad at Senior High is doing a fine job in .spite of the criticism of some students. “Out that door and in this one” is all you hear from the hard work ing squads. Most of the students just give the squad a pleading look which means—“I’ve only a minute to get to class.” Squad: “To had,” Student: “You’re hateful.” Squad: “Thank-you.” Student: “Oh heck.” After this brief conversation the bell rings, the squad leaves, and the student goes to class with a pink slip. Mrs. Cordelia Walke, who presides over homeroom 24 each morning, is proud of her group, and well might she be. From her room there were 18 stu dents who made the honor roll in the first six weeks and four special honor roll students, too. However, the feather in Mrs. Walke’s cap is the fact that two of the recently initiated members of Torchlight, the Ntaional Honor Society, were from room 24: Betty Jane Thompson and Jean Thacker. Eighteen students from a roster of 36 to have high scholastic averages is quite a good thing in anyone’s language! ♦ ♦ * In keeping with the spirit of Thanksgiving the Students from Senior donated a goodwill offering the money was counted, it was found on Tuesday, November 23.
