P«gt Tun High Life March 14,1958 In Memoriam Faculty and students of Greensborn Senior High School extend their sympa. thyto the family of Miss Maude Carter who died February 21 at Wesley Long Hospital. Miss Carter was for a number of years Latin and English teacher to GHS Students. Her efforts in promoting a keen in terest along literary lines and develop ing a strong Latin background will long be remembered by former grateful stu dents . . . The void left by her passing is one difficult to .fill. ^ DE. CHARLES P. BOWLES BENJIE SPEARS Pictured above is the Greensboro Senior Higb track on which work - vember and is now near completion. The Purpose of HIGH LIFE Is To: G et and preserve the history of our school. H old individuals together under high standards. S eparate the worthwhile from the worthless and promote the highest interest of stu dents, teachers, and school. Always 7 he First 7 o Volunteer they disappear as soon as the work comes along. Know anyone like that? When the praise is being handed out, they’re right on hand, and they take full advantage of the privileges which go with the responsi bilities. But complaints are made because Spring Fever? There they sit. A sack of potaoes with out the sack. Their many eyes are staring up at the individual towering above them. The individual stands not with paring knife in hand, but a book of learning. There is a hopeful air of expectancy in the teacher’s face. Will the question which has just been thrust forward arouse a spark of interest? Better stip, but too much to hope for, will, one of the Irish or new, but never sweet potatoes, dare to look as if they might answer the question? Probably not. The oncrsided lecture continues. Another ques tion is asked, another dead silence. This potato act might be called spring fever if it were an act only prevalent in the spring. This, however, has been going on since September, so it apparently isn’t any thing caused by the changing of seasons. ~ highTife Publicbcd Semi-Monthly by the Students of dreen.sboro Senior High School Green-sboro, N. C. they don’t live up to their side of the bargain. If detectives on the police force took the weapons entrusted to them and went around wantonly killing people, law-abiding citizens would take action, and if the traffic police men left their corners to chat with passing motorists, the downtown streets would be in a bad way . . . more wrecks would be caused and nearly everyone would be late to work . . . Like the medieval land lords, those who have too many privileges and not enough responsi bilities soon become corrupt. It is a secure feeling to know that our city officials hire efficient work ers who will always be on the job. This same feeling should prevail at GHS. Good news for home room Bull etin Board Committees: The Art Department Is VOLUNTEERING to fix an Easter bulletin board for any home room desirous of such. HOMESPUN, the GHS literary magazine published each spring, is requesting Interested students to turn in any of their better poems, themes, etc. Material has been solicited from English teach ers, but often students wish to make further contributions on COUNCIL CORNER Sandra Holdemess Spring elections are cmning soon and your Council urges each one of you to begin thinking about whom you would like to fill the offices for the year 1958- 1959. The deadline for application will be April 2. May Day has been planned this year for May 1. The theme has been decided upon, and soon Lynn McGregor, chair man, will call a meeting of all those who are interested in being in it,. A great majority of the student body Mid in the evaluation sheets that they would like to participate in May Day; thus the Council IS expecting a big turnout of those want ing a part on the program. Carol Overstreet and Jerry Robertson, co-chairmen of the Spring Prom Com mittee, would like to have any sugges tions from you for a theme for this dance. their own. Submit entries to Mrs. Judy Milligan, adviser, ox Betty Rose, editor. All the students who daily ride the school buses to and from school send their heartfelt thanks for the new sidewalk out to the bus lot. The water used to stand six inches deep out there. (Close scrutiny reveals the new walkway is slightly banked so as not to collect water. Could not this prin- ciple be applied between the Sci ence, Main, and Cafeteria Build ings?) “Jabbo” Johnson, school store proprietor, reports seniors ordered about 11,000 invitations (boy, is somebody goima make a haul!). The supplementary order slmuld augment that figure to 12,000. The GHS Science Department and its many outstanding students have certainly been getting their share of space in the DAILY NEWS and the RECORD. Con gratulations and don't stop now. There’s something new in the Family life Department, a bi weekly meeting of Senior High married students and their mates. Thirty such married students, now attending Senior High, gather with Mrs. Kate Gamer, family life teacher, every other Wednes day night from 7:30-9:00 to dis cuss problems common to young married couples. Mrs. Gamer is sues an invitation to any Senior High married student to attend the next meeting to be March 26.
