Page Two High Lifb February 27, 1959 Editorial Wild Oates Congress shall make no law re specting the establishment of re ligion, or prohibiting the free ex ercise thereof; ' Because our student body is of such an overwhelming Protestant Christian composition we often lose sight of the fact that this is a public institution which contains members of minority religious groups. This lack of perception by thought less, if sincere, individuals is most clearly evidenced by our home room and assembly devotionals which are very often of a nature unfair, if not offensive, to our Jewish students and other minorities. The idea of commencing the school day with a short religious service is an irreproachably good one; however, if by common consent we could re strict ourselves to non-denominational observances in which every person who wished could take an,active part, then we would be demonstrating more fuUy our resect for the sacred princi ples whose influence has privileged us to live in the best society that ever existed. Civitan Victory Flags The Junior Civitan victory flags pe a very valuable and beautiful addition to Senior High School. We have seen very few mornings when the big blue victory flag was not waving with the pennants of several varsity sports flapping below it. , Might we be so bold to suggest, however, that,, as their next project, the Civitans consider securing an aca demic victory flag to fly in honor of debate team victories, or of a student who wins a scholarship or is elected to an important state office of some organization. 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. HIGH LIFE Published Semi-Monthly by the Students of Greensboro Senior High School_ Greensboro, N. C. Pounded by the Class of 1921 Revived by the Spring .Tournalism Class of 1937 Entered as second-class matter March 30, 1940, at the ost office at Greensboro, N. C., under the Act of March 3, 1879. Line-Breakers A ccused HIGH LIFE has done its best to avoid trite, preachy editorials about student conduct of the type that plague many high school newspapers, feeling, in the first place, that they are not read, and in the second, that they do absolutely no good. However the time may very well be ripe for a few words in regard to the widespread and growing prevalence of lunch-room line-breaking. We are riot prepared to take issue with any one who wants to take one buddy into the line in front of them, but we daily observe sometimes a doz en or more people squeeze into the line at one place. The realization of the gross unfair ness of the practice, when it strikes home to the guilty parties, will be enough to terminate its life. HOW Do 'jou. pmo ft woi>.o \t\ -rue It Would Be Nice, But DlCTIONHRu VF OowV There sia considerable furor in the public press these days about rights— civil, inalienable, etc. Not to be outdone, we would like to enter the fray in behalf of a right we believe to be undeniably our as students, but which many teachers are want to stamp out unmercifully. That is the right of a student, if he so desires and is able to do so with out serious detriment to hiniself or his classmates. TO SLEEP THROUGH or STUDY SOME OTHER SUBJECT IN a classroom lecture period. Munchin’ At luncheon If a person is able to maintain max imum marks in one subject with very little effort, there is no good reason why he should not be allowed to help hims'elf out by digging into some more difficult subject, or reading extra cur ricular material, or catching up on some needed shut-eye, during the in struction which he does not need. Some teachers persist in denying this rigrt but providentially, an ever- growin gnumber of our angelic in structors are beginning to see the path of justice.

In a large Eastern church, the service was about to begin and the choir was commencing their processional toward the choir loft. Each singer was intent on putting fee’ing into his own part of the hymn. They held their heads high as they marched. One particular young lady who was wearing needled-heeled shoes was especially interested in her song and was not paying to much attention to where she was walking. Suddenly, as she step ped onto a grate her needle heels sunk into it and she could not get it out. Not wishing to break the mood of the cere mony she merely slipped her foot out of her shoe and continued dowm the aisle still singing. A young man marching directly behind her seeing her predica ment reached down to retreve the shoe. He picked up the shoe and the grate came with it. He did not wish to disturb the worshippers either so he continued down the aisle singing and carry ng the shoe and the grate. The music swel’ed and in exact step with the other choir members the young lady behind him fell into the hole that the grate left. Readers Digest.
