Page Two High Life October 19,19^1 College Day Every year at G. H. S. we have a College Day. Since Greensboro is surrounded by many colieges, both state and otherwise, we have chosen a day to invite represen tatives from them to come over and answer any questions that we may have. Have you thought of going to college? Have you de cided where and what subjects to take? Then, of coures, there are always the ques tions, what are the requirements for en trance, and what is the cost? During study hall we are allowed to go to the library where these representatives will be more than glad to answer these few questions and many more which you may have. They also have catalogues and pamphlets which contain specific facts on organizations, regulations, and expenses. Torchlight, our branch of the National Honor Society, will serve as host for the delegates. They will be glad to show you where to find representatives from the dif ferent colleges, and wiU be ready to assist you in any way possible. Miss York, who is in charge of the Home Ec. Department, has announced that there will be a luncheon for the representatives. This will be prepared by the home ee. stu dents. College Day should be taken very seri ously; that is, to those of us who are plan ning to go to college. It is primarily for the seniors, but anyone may go. Under classmen can obtain wonderful ideas on what they should take during their remain ing days in high school, so that when they are ready to enter college there will not be any mix-up as far as requirements are concerned. Our parents are urged to come if thev like, at which time they may talk to the representatives with us. Heretofore College Day has always been a success, so this year let’s all try to make it an even more successful and profitable day. In A ppreciation Did I hear someone say, “Gol-lee, this year the chapel programs are better than they ever have been!”? Well, yes, we’ve all heard it over and over again. Lane, our veep, who’s in charge of them all, has certainly been doing a wonderful job. The past assemblies have been both in spirational and enjoyable. However good they may be, though, depends a lot on us, the students and faculty. Being a good audience is very important. Can this be done with talking, inattentiveness, whist ling, and loud clapping? Naturally not. Let’s try to keep up our part, and besides helping “Lanie,” we’ll be helping ourselves in enjoyment, manners and respect. . . CLUBLICITY . .

First, there will be a slumber party at the Youth Center for girls in all social clubs after the Reids- ville game. Plans are now in the making for a hayride sometime soon. Their first charity project will help the soldiers in camp. They are now collecting cartoons to make scrap books to help entertain the boys, and cookies will be made for them at Christmas. Every G.W.I. is look- Hold That Line We are now in the midst of that football season. That word football seems to make young children and old ladies screaming maniacs. It drives women to distraction and makes proud men weep! Why? The answer is simple and short; there is too much emphaisis placed on a winning team today—no mat ter how it’s won—win we must. No thought is given a team which loses except that it lost. Both alum ni and students do not consider how hard the boys on the team tried to win and how hard a coach tried to make replacements. Senior seems to stress the best in everything! Are we too proud to admit we have a second class team as far as “won” and “lost” is con cerned? Whom do we blame—the team, the coach, or ourselves? Were you at the game? Did you stick up for your team when it was down? If you have not done these things you should not open your mouths in protest against so fine a group of boys, nor try to do the coaching from the peanut gallery. To those of you who have done the above-mentioned things, keep up the good work. Greensboro Senior High might not have the fastest or strongest team in the state, but it has the finest bunch of fighting, try ing fellows in the whole nation. We’ve lost quite a few games this season. So what? Life itself is not all victories. One must take set backs with a grin. To the weak hearts who give up and say “that’s all,” we bid you our scorn; but to those of us who can take it on the chin and sit up again to fight another day, we give you a pat on the back and better luck next time! ing forward to a good year full of activi ties, both social and charitable. L.S.P.—The L.S.P. Club initiated its new members as “Little Saints” at the Greensboro-Raleigh football game, and club pins have now been ordered for the new members. As its current project the club IS planning to give the favors to the crippled children at the Sternberger Hos pital. On the social side the L.S.P.’s have plans for a hayride in the near future.

AllfoLerc!KS\?- Your Opinion By GREY EGERTON Your Public Opinion reporter has been busy these last few days, try. ing to find out what boys really think of girls. Here are a few typical te. plies. 1 and, through reading Kinsey reports dictionary deRnitions, and comic books that girls are indeed different to others’ in many respects. These aspects appar- ently have not changed a great deal in 1,800 years (note article in October 24 issue of People Today): “Uninhibited Second Century lady was just dug up from the ruins of Villa Ancia in the Sicih ian city of Piazza Armerina . . .» wear ing a bikini bathing suit. In the same issue of the same magazine, I advise you to look at an illustration of the sub ject herewith being discussed. The page number is thirty. I am forced to agree for the first time, with the biology de partment that the meat has hung on the bones in a pretty modem way for many, many years. If you are stiff in doubt as to how the fairer sex differs, the writ er suggests that conclusive evidence may be found in a comparison of Dorothy Sills and Lacy Anderson. Girls definitely have their finer points which are describable with a few adjec tives such as: sharp, duff, hot, cute, clever, beautiful, dumb, nauseating, gau dy, sagacious, wicked, and above all- indispensable. They laugh, giggle, tit ter, guffaw, snicker, tee-hee, sigh, swoon, moan, groan, rumble, squeak, whisper, wiggle, squirm, jump, skip, swish, sway, swing, strut, rhumba, make-up, comb, gaze, and smile; in general, like an onion in love with a gardenia. I am sure girls are against me and have leagued themselves together in some sort of union in order to keep me dateless. This is particularly true of certain blondes. They seem bound to abuse and persecute me. We live in the atomic age with all kinds of modern inventions to make the night more enjoyable. There are lights, fans, heaters, aim-wicks, coca-colas, tele visions, movies, and juke boxes, but never in the whole history of the U. S. Patent Office has there ever been anything in vented to replace a dame. With all their shortcomings, the right one can change tears to happiness; worries to joy; inse curity to certainty; and hate to love. Me? I love ’em. Dave Wright There’s something about a girl that I just can’t understand. What makes them tick? At times they are as lovable as a new-born babe, and as cold as an ice berg. I may go so far as to say that they are as changeable as a chameleon. Some of them enchant you with their Coral No. 5 perfume, or really break your heart with their “bed-room” eyes. Men, this is the kind to avoid. This kind of girl will both fool you and thrill you- Always be on the lookout for them and stay away. I can’t talk about any one of them, because I don’t know them inside out, but my idea girl should be 5’ 7” with blue eyes, about 120 pounds, short brown • hair, a shapely figure, and a flashy smile. Now, if any such creature exists, I cer tainly would like to be informed as to the whereabouts of said creature. I have searched all my life, but have yet to see the perfect woman. Most of them are too stuck-up to speak in the halls, or either molest you with their loving caresses. They talk too much or are too shy to utter a sound, but cringe back in a dark comer. They spend all your money, take up your time, drive your car and cause you trouble. The favorite pastime of girls is gos sipping on the telephone. I have sat for two hours waiting to make an impor tant call while these gossippy girls carry on an utterly useless conversation. The worst part of this is, the conversation usually concerns us boys. I close this scientific analysis of the weaker sex with this little bit of rhyme: A girl is a crazy thing, And has a lot of fun; She sizes all the cute ones up But never marries one. Skip Heitkamp
