/'age Twn Hi^ Life OcM>er 4, POTEAT WARNS STUDENTS Frighted below i« a letter, dated Septernber 27, from Municipal Court Judjge William M. Poteat to Principal A. P. Routh concerning traffic prob- le-me around the school. Recently there have been several incidents around the school during the lunch periods. Judge Poteat is warning students that traffic illations during the rush periods will receive stiff penaUties. Mr. A. P. Routh Principal Greensboro Senior High School Greensboro, North Carolina Dear Mr. Routh : In the last few days I have been by the Brooks School, Senior High School and Kaiser School several times dining the day, and I am extremely concerned over the pedestrian and automobile traffic during the rush hours. I feel that this is one of the most hazardous locaUties in Greensboro as far as pedestrians are concerned. I have no desire to be unduly severe on any one. how ever, the situation is one which can only be dealt with severely. I would appreciate it veiy much if you would advise Uie students in Senior High School that traffice violations occurring in or near the school area during the rush periods will receive stem treatment in court, including license revocation for any traffic offence which endangers other peo ple. I am very much afraid that strict en forcement and severe penalties wiU be the only way we can avert tragedy during this school year. Plaese impress on the student body that they are not being singled out for special treatment which is not afforded other citizens in Greensboro, for everyone wUl be treated the same way, but they are more closely associated wdth the problems thev \rill feel the brunt of this action. This is not a crusade against anyone—but an effort to save lives. Very truly yours, WRliam M. Poteat Senior Judge The Puroose of HIGH LIFE Is To: et and preserve the history o1 our school. H old individuals together under high standards, eparate the worthwhile from the worthless and promote the highest interest of stu dents, teachers, and school.

Routh Volume XXXIV Sept 20, 1957 No. 1 COUNCIL CORNER BY SANDKA HOLDERNESS Yom* Council is sponsoring lunch time recreation for you to participate in and enjoy during fourth and fifth lunch periods. A juke box has been made available and four ping pong tables, too. Your Council urges each of you to take part in this activity. A problem concerning the cafetma has arisen, paper bags, milk bottles, and ti-ays have been carelessly left on tbe tables during both limch periods. If each of you would be resimnsible for taking your own tray back to the win dow and putting your trash in the waste basket, it certainly would be a gi'eat help to the workei*s in the cafe teria, and it also would make us, as a student body, proud of our own gi*oup for doing the right thing. Tonight we ai'^ celebrating our Home coming exercises during the game with Asheville. At halftime the band and choir will perform, with theii* theme as “My Fair Lady.” The Homecoming Queen, Peggy Sink; Council Sponsor, Lynn McGi’egor, and the alumni from the past two years will be present with their escoi'ts. Let us all go to the game tonight and give the WHIRLIES our support. DON'T LET ^ MR. ASHATiCFLUGERM MAKE YOU FEEL... LIKE TH/S./ BY BOSE . . . Remember last year when Sigmund Blomberg, the memoiy expert, took GHS and Greensboi-o by storm? Look up “perpetual calendar” in a good diction ary and you’ll see how he could tell what day of the week it was or will be on any date named. Fii'st cat—I’m sorry; I quite forgot youi’ Students’ Column (Edior’s note: This space to be devoted in remaining issues to dis cussion of current problems by per- soTialities. Submit tofic to High Life or Los Condes.) For our first article iii HIGH LIFE, the members of Los Condes want to highlight the features of Sandra Holderness, president of the Student Body. When anyone first meets San- SANBBA HOLDERNESS dra Holderness, he is empressed with the ease with which she meets people, her tact, and the fluency of her speech. When he gets to know her, he realizes that her basic characteristic is a gen- Courtesy Los Condes uine intei'est in people. In order to co-ordinate her tal ents and her interests, Sandra has rapidly developed into a ded- * icated person. She really loves Student Council work and all those minute chores involved in num erous conferences. Sandra’s background has rich ly prepared her for her present duties. She has worked witli the Junior Civinettes, Les Soeurs, Fu- tiu’e Teachers of America, Play- masters, the Bible Club, and TOrchlighSt. Last year she was elected secretary of the North Cai'olina Student Council Con- gi:ess. Sandra was born the third of five children. Los Condes is happy to make the discovei-y that girls with brains are fim. We found out that San dra loves to sing and play the piano. Her favorite popular songs are “Tammy” and “Our Love Af fair.” Sandra thinks Rock-n-Roll is “terrific” and her favorite sing er is Eddie Fisher. Her favorite color is royal blue and, we think this color di*amatizes her blond hair and blue eyes. Good wishes for a most suc cessful year to all.—^Ad. party the other evenir^. Second cat—Oh, weren’t you there? An optimistic Bob McNaiiy—Let’s get married! A pessimistic Sari Lynn Winfree—Good gosh! Who’d have us? “Now, Johnny,” coaxed his mother, “be a good boy and say ‘Ali-h-,’ so the nasty doctor can' get his fingei* out of your mouth.” Mrs. Pleasants—Now watch the black board while I run through it once.
