HIGH LIFE
From the Gate City of the South and the Birthplace of O. Henry
VOLUME XXIX
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL, GREENSBORO, N. C., MARCH 27, 1953
NUMBER 11
Massey and Maness Vie for Presidency;
Steele and Cass Battle for Veep’s Place
Anderson Enters
First Place Plot
Lacy W. Anderson passed an
other milestone in his writing ca
reer. His story, “The Antidote,”
won first place in the state-wide
short story contest conducted by
the Greensboro Writers Club.
The story deals with a married
couple who have no children. They
work during the day and raise ex
pensive flowers and fruits as a
hobby. They live a very peaceful
life until a small ruffian moves
in next door. This little demon
makes a joke of tearing up their
flowers and taking their fruit.
They try every way possible to
keep him from bothering them —
from threats to treats. All of these
fail and the wife decides to stay
home to take care of their prop
erty. The couple then decide to
adopt a child. Upon arriving at
an orphanage, the first persons
that they see are two small boys
in an all-out fight. The smaller, a
scrappy, red-headed Irish lad,
seems to have the best of the
quarrel. When they see this, they
realize that he is the answer to
their problem. He will be the
ideal thing to rid them of the pest
next door.
Mr. Anderson has recently sold
a feature article to the magazine,
THE STATE, fo5 publication in
the near future. The story, “The
Story of Daileys Lifeboat — Was
It a Lible?" is the first he has
sold. This article deals with a
story of the seacoast with which he
is familiar. It is a follow-up of an
article in this month’s magazine of
the heroic rescue by Captain Dailey
of nine shipwrecked men.
