Got a Quarter, Huh?
Spotlight Is on Torchlight
As Talent Show Develops
Where can you find better entertainment and more talent than
there is to be had at tlie Center or the Carolina, and for the small
sum of one quarter? Why, at the annual Torchlight Talent Show
on Thursday, April 6! Alex Panas is running the show as general
chairman. He has a committee of seven girls, so tlie show should
be good ! Rowland Wissemaii, Billy Crowder, and Carolyn Birgel
are in charge of sale of tickets for seniors, juniors, and sopho
mores, respectively.
Purpose Stated ^
The purpose of the show, other
than to give everlasting enterain-
ment to the students of Senior High
School, is to raise funds for the
N. H. S. Fundamentally, the money
raised will go to the Torchlight
$100. scholarship given each year to
a Torchlight member. The rest of
the sum will be used to pay for rhe
page in the Whirligi;

for
for conven-
and if there's any
“to buy a robe long enough
Tom Neal."
Much Variety to be Shown
“Vocal and instrumental solo
ists will keep up the standard of
rich entertainment and, if iM)ssible.
make the show more enjoyble than
ever before,” said Miss Sara Mims,
adviser. Prize dramatic gems will
be brought to light through the
efforts of the choir, the dramatics
class, and the Torchlight members.
;Mr Smith's physical education
classes will present a tumbling act.
Also on the agenda is sijectacdlar
outside talent in he form of a for
mer G. H. S. sudent who will be
featured as either “The Voice” or
“The Fa-e.” It seems that both of
these qualifies are so highly devel
oped in him that choice between the
two is difficult! The Felecia Studio
will send dance teams in addition
to whatever local talent might i)e
displayed along that line.
Judges will be Mrs, Blanche
Smith from the faculty and two
outside persons.
P. S. It is understood that stu
dents attending the show will have
to make the supreme sacrifice of
skipping a class. Alas!
Displaying the new Key stone pi’O-
.iecter, which is the newest addihon
for the science department, is Jack
S. Luttrell, faculty member of that
department.

Greensboro Senior High’s High
Life won a first place rating at
the Columbi'a Scholastic Press Asso
ciation’s 26th annual convention at
Columbia University in New York*
This year makes the 11th consec
utive year that High Life has at
tained a first place rating in this
national contest. The award winners
were announced Thursday, March
9th.
High Life competed with student
publications from high schools hav
ing an enrollment of l.OOOl to 1,5CK>.
Approximately 1,300 school newspap
ers from the 48 states and several
foreign countries competed.
Principles Considered In Scoring
The rating points have been estab
lished after a study of what consti
tutes a typical newspaper. Content,
writing, editing, and make-up are
the principle points considered be
fore an official score is given any
publication. The most important
divisions under these four are scope,
timeliness, news, news sports and
feature stories, headlines, copy-
reading and proofreading. High Life
placed between 850-1,000, the score
required for a first place rating.
“Medalist” rank is awarded pub
lications selected from the first-
place group fior outstanding quali
ties ; however, it is accorded to not
more than ten per cent of all the
entries in the class concerned. The
Durham paper, Hi-Rocket, received
a “medalist” rating. High Life has
not been able to fulfill the qualifica
tions for this highest rating because
of the lower grade of paper used
(newsprint rather than English fin
ish grade.)
Delegates Attend Sectional Meetings
The ten student delegates from
Greensl)oro, Rosalind Fordham,
Irene Hutchinson, Barbara Whit
tington, Anne Lewis, Jackie Aulbert,
Barbaiia Hutton, Martha McIntosh,
John Utley, Richard Whitteraore

vorious sectional meetings during
the three-day convention. “Make-
I’p,” “How to Win Friends and In
fluence The Public.” “Advertising
and Promotional Methods,” and
“Headlines Make Or Break A
Paper” were some of the many sec
tional meetings on the agenda. The
delegates attended meetings as indi
viduals rather than in a group in
order to obtain for the staff as com
plete a coverage of the program as
IM)ssil)le.
The opening session of the conven
tion was held in McMiilin Theatre
with .Toseph M. Murphy, Director of
the As.sociation as pre.siding officer.
Sam J. T'nderwood, High Life fac
ulty adviser, addressed the conven
tion on Editorial Materials and
Policy.
Banquet Held at Waldorf-Astoria
