High Life
Murphy Is Head of
Library Association
At the annual meeting of the
North Carolina High School Library-
Association held in the Durham
High School on April 29-30, 1040,
Gilbert Murphy, a member of the
senior class here at Senior High,
was elected president for the 1940-50
school term. Gilbert succeeds Henry
Clark of Reidsville High School.
The North Carolina High School
Library Association is sponsored
jointly by tlie North Carolina Id-
brary Association and the North
Carolina Education Association.
There is a threefold puriKxse for
which the association exi.sts: (1) to
increase interest in library work on
the part of students: (2) to bring
about a closer relationship between
school libnary clubs throughout the
state; (3) “to arouse interest in
the study of librarianship as a pro
fession.”
The state organization is divided
into six districts corresponding to
the six districts of the North Caro
lina Education Association. Four
of the six distnct'4 have lieen organ
ized with a full .slate of officers for
this school -year. One goal which
Gilbert and the other stote officers
have set for this year is to organize
the northeastern and the southeast
ern districts, thus completing the
district organizations throughout the
state. Another effort which is lieing
put forth i.si that of enrolling many
other schools in the assx;iation.
Bach of the districts will hold its
meeting in conjunction with the li
brarians’ section of the North Caro
lina Education Association. Gilbert
plans to attend most of the district
meetings in an effort, to encourage
and to enlarge the work of the as.so-
ciation.
The northwestern district, of
which Greenslmro is a memlier, will
hold its regular meeting in Winston-
Salem on October 14. Attending
this meeting with Gilbert will be
Dorothy Buchanan, who i.s the sec
retary of the district organization.
Gilbert will hold the office of
state president until the annual
meeting of the association in the
spring. The spring convention will
be attended by more than 100 high
school students. It will be Gilbert’s
responsibility to plan the conven
tion, which is an annual event, and
to pre.ride over each session.
As a member of the library staff
of Senior High School, Gilbert, bet
ter known as Gil to his friends, has
been most valuable. This year he
works in the library from 1:30 to
4.30 each afternoon. Gilbert is well
qualified for his position as state
president of the North Carolina
High School Library Association.
The Greensboro club is particularly
proud of him*

leachers Celebrate
With Fun and Song
Wednesday night at the Guilford
Dairy Club the teachers of dear old
G. H. S. dropped their formality
to have a little fun.
Mozelle Causey read the roll as
Bob Jantie.son came limping in
noisily.
The first event to happen was a
contest to guess the teachers' names
by means of certain clues given. One
given was “Full of curiosity and a
good sense of humor”—^this of course,
wa.s the one and only Samuel J. Un
derwood. Another was “Sparkles
when men are around, has not
stopped struggling to change Miss
to Mrs.”—this was MISS McNairy.
Others were: “Most graceful of us
air—Miss Alton; “grandmother”—
Mrs. Faver. “Less than five feet,
stands on a stall to he seen”—Mrs.
Gorrell. “Buttons, ribbons, and
bows, toddles as she goes” was Miss
York. Mrs. Hicks won first prize—
a flower. Mr. Thomas copped the
second prize which was a toy truck.
The next event (ugn) w’as a spell
ing contest. Thi.s team w’ent off with
first prize: York, Blackburn, Gor-
rell, Causey, Herring, McNair>%
Boone, Abernathy, Jamieson. Un
derwood, Herbrt, Darnell, Mrs. Her
bert, Ligon, Moore, and Mitchell.
Tlie next event is one that called
for the talents of “Gappy” Gabriel
and “Queen Tut” Tuttle. It was
“Stop the Music.” The “Mystery
Melody” wnas “To a Wild Rose.”
The teachers’ telephone numbers
were used.
Following the music game, a
thrilling game of Bingo was enjoyed
b.v the guests. Group singing con
cluded the evening, after which the
tired teachers trotted home to get
their beauty sleep.
Working in tlie office for Miss
Mary Ellen Blackmon are fourteen
girls. There are two helpers each
period.
These girls check up on absentees
from classes which tlie teacher can
not account for; contact the homes
in the mornings to find the reason
students are absent; tyiie reeord-s
and reports; w'rite school letters;
and run eiTands.
Miss Blackmon .says that these
girls are indisixmsable as she could
not get along wdthout them.
The helpers are Jean Calhoun,
Dee Dee Deckard, Jeanette Melvin,
