Three GHS Students
Take Navy Exams
Three members of the Senior
class at Greensboro High School
were in Raleigh February 12-15
competing for the NROTC scholar
ships which are offered. These
boys, Bob Laughon, Bain Alexan
der, and Grey Egerton, will go to
Washington for the finals and a
physical examination if they win
the competition at Raleigh. This is
one of the most valuable scholar
ships available, for it provides a
complete college course. David
Bradley, a graduate of Greensboro
High School is now at Princeton
under this scholarship.
Out of the nineteen students who
took the preliminary test for the
Angier B. Duke scholarship, six
have been notified. Bain Alexan
der, De Hunter, Bobby Clark, Bet
ty Jane Davis, Barbara Beavers,
and Shay Harris are the ones who
will compete in the district com
petition to be held later. There
are only nine winners in the state
thus making the competition very
strict. The boys and girls groups
are divided into districts—six for
the boys and three for the girls—
with only one winner from each
district. This scholarship is worth
$750 a year or $3000. However, to
get the benefit of this scholarship
the student must maintain a high
scholastic record. There have been
three previous winners of this
scholarship from Greensboro High
School, Zack Piephoff, Bob Gree-
son and Eva Newlin.
Nancy Haithcock has been noti
fied that she has won a $400 schol-
orship at Catawba College if she
will accept this offer.
There have been applications for
scholarships at Agnes Scott and
Davidson, but no winners have
been notified as yet.

Three (lasses Ready
Plays For Conies!
Every year the Senior, Junior,
and Sophomore classes at Senior
High each give a one-act play. The
three plays are presented on the
same evening. After the perform
ance, the judges, who are usually
teachers from Woman's College,
Greensboro College, or one of the
colleges in this vicinity, award a
loving cup to the performers in the
most outstanding play.
This year the plays to be pre
sented are as follows: “Highness”
by the senior class, “Two Crooks
and a Lady” by the junior class,
and the sophomore class is pre
senting “Finders Keepers.”
The plays will be given Thurs
day, March 20, 1952, at 8:00 p.m.
in the Greensboro\ Senior High
auditorium.
In previous years the plays have
been given by students chosen
from each class with the class ad
visors as the directors, but this
year the procedure is to be differ
ent. The members of the dramatic
classes are so talented that it is
not necessary for outsiders to par
ticipate in the plays. Miss Mozelle
Causey, dramatics teacher, is to be
the director.
All three plays will be presented
at Salem College in Winston Salem
at the district festival which is to
be held there.
The winning play will go to
Chapel Hill, N. C., where it will
compete against the winning one-
act plays from other schools.

Pictured above are the two main parking lots here at our institution.
The top picture shows the students’ or commoners' parking lot. The
bottom picture is that of the teachers’. When asked for improvements
on the top parking lot, the answer was: the maintenance corp is to take
care of that. Therefore, the assumption is that the lower parking lot is
also maintained in a similar fashion. Notice, however, how the tax
payers money is applied to the various caste parking holes.

The most important day in the
following week to all staffers is
Wednesday, better known as “make
up” day. “Make up” is the process
by which all copy and ads, which
have arrived by this time from the
printers, printed in long sheets, are
pasted on old newspapers in the
exact place where they must be
printed for the new issue. Arrang
ing the stories and ads so that the
page will show good journalism is
an art in itself. Green staffers spend
as many as three hours arranging
one page until they become better
skilled. Many class periods are
spent examining other school
papers, studying their particular
form, and criticizing both good
and bad points.
The next red letter day, of
course, is Friday, when the papers
are distributed. They arrive from
the printers just a few minutes
before they are carried to the
rooms, so the news is literally “hot
off the press.”
There are many other duties
which nlust be carried out by
the staffers and don’t receive
much recognition. These duties
consist of proof-reading, mailing
exchange copies to other schools,
managing the business problems
such as ads and expenses, and typ
ing correspondence of various
kinds.
The journalism students spend
other class periods, when not busily
writing copy, in class discussions,
writing themes, and preparing
term papers. Interviews are neces
sary in order to get some news ma
terial; so, much time out of class
is spent talking to many people.
