Page Two High Life March 7, 196' Even Squad Members Arent Always Angels ! ! Happy Birthday, Seniors! A._._ -i.-^ r\^£x /?£i/tnT»Q+innc^ wit.li ninlt ■frostini By Ann Barham St.' Patrick’s Day, 1942, must have been a holiday for doctors. HIGH LIFE couldn’t find one senior with a birthday niarch 17, but we do have 22 seniors celebrating their birthdays during the first two weeks of this month. Many of these folks are truly looking forward to the nineteenth year.'When asked what they believe is the perfect age, 18 was the most frequent answer. Diane Jones looks back to “the good old days’’ when she was two—her perfect year; but Judy Pas chal sets her aims high. She believe 35 is the perefect age. Vic Buchanan only replied, “That’s a good question.” I predict many wonderful years for Judy Beane, who says, “The time that I accepted Christ ^as my Saviour,” when she was nine. Was the most memorable of her life. At the age of 14, Ronnie Fitzula earned his first dollar, Ann Glascock toured Europe the summer after her sophomore year, and at 15, Carol Bowman and Florence Robert son became Greensborians. Surely that’s worth remembering! Problems 'The majority of the March “babies” seem to think they matured the most during the past year. As far as who has the greater problems, smaU children, teenagers, or adults, it was pretty well half and half be tween the teenagers and the adults. Ronnie Fitzula and David Campbell were the only two believing the small child has the more difficult problems. Linda Robinson com mented that though adults have the diffi cult ones, teens have more. For being easy to get along with, the teenagers won with a high percentage. The “litUe people” got only one vote. CoUege rates high with these Greensboro students. Inis Morton does not plan to go to college but will be going to airline school. Now why would an eighteen-year-old not want candles on his birthday cake? Sur prising as it may seem, some don’t. David Thrasher will allow such doings until he is 35; then he’s going to start taking them off. (Say he’s been watching Jack Benny?) David has his own ideas about “eats” for the special day . . . ever heard of a birth day PIE? One other voice Debbie Bercaw said a firm no to candles on the birthday cake. Pound Cake Debbie has the right idea about the cake, though. She wants a homemade pound cake. Also asked for was a cake with white cream with red and bblue trim, one angel food "a decorated one,” “a big one”, large (sim- 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 Journalism Class of 1937 pie decorations), white with pink frosting, and quite a few other varieties. We mustn’t forget the “yellow one with thick home made chocolate fudge icing.” Abbie Starr who received a car, doesn’t plan to do anymore celebrating . . . why, she doesn’t even suggest a cake! Homeroom 306 might have a spanking good time next weekiend. Pat Owens and Linda Moser will discover then how it feels to be 18. Let’s hope Linda (bom March 13) isn’t superstitious! Maurice Jones, celebrating his birthday March 5, and Tim Robinson, bom March 7 are included in Senior High’s Happy Birth day list. Students Build Pride In GHS Greensboro Senior High students re cently distinguished themselves in many fields. Our varsity basketball squad not on ly won the Central 4-A title for us, but also assured us of a berth in the state tournament for the fourth con secutive year. We cannot help but be proud of these athletes because they won, shall we say, strictly “on the lev el.” Not to be left unmentioned is the large number of seniors who have qualified for the finals in many of the available college scholarship competi tions. We have at least one finalist for each of the major awards and even boast 27 for the National Merit Schol arship. . Many of us have heard comments on the assembly presented Tuesday, February 23 on safe driving. The gen eral opinion seems to be that it is one of the best programs our student body has seen. The main attraction of this program was that it appealed to al most every type of person—^boys and girls alike. The Junior Civitans deserve ap plause for their aid to Mr. Glenn in the cafeteria. They have been sta tioned as patrols to remedy the line- breaking situation. “Hats off” to GHSers like these who are building their own lives as well as building pride in Senior. Convention Call!

One announced crankily that he had become an atheist. “Fine, fine,” scoffed the other. “Now just explain to me who changes the water in this bowl!” Metaphor: A thing you shout through. An indignant lady charged into a psy chiatrist’s office to demand, “You’ll have to take my husband in hand—^but quick. He’s convinced himself he’s a big-league baseball manager and keeps throwing base balls at me.” “Why don’t you order him to stop? asked the psychiatrist. “Im afraid to,” admitted the lady. “He keeps threatening to trade me to Philadel phia.” Two cool cats were just finishing the meal. One cat said to the waitress, think I’ll have a piece of apple pie!” “Sorry,” said the waitress, “but the a pie pie is gone.” “Crazy,” answered the cat, “I’U take tv pieces.” A substitute teacher was calling the ro and got down to Paul. Paul was asleep ai therefore she kept repeating his name. J indignant student spoke up. “Paul is he today, but Simon Peter is absent. All the world’s a stage, but no one war to be a stagehand.

Why? “Homeroom number 42, from whence cometh all fine seniors, casts its mighty vote for John Smith,” an nounces one election convention home room chairman. Although this may sound a bit far fetched and boastful to those of us \vho have never witnessed a GHS election convention, it is a true example of some of the speeches. Not only is the convention often one of the most amus ing events in one of our school terms, but it is primarily an important stu dent privilege. We have the right to democratically elect our officers. This process in cludes a convention for elimination if there are several candidates for each office.

Many students were on hand at the Conference tournament held in High Point. Although the turn out by the student body was not' one hundred per cent, the support was tremendous. Strong support, as you showed us, will make any ball club play well. The State 4-A Tournament will be held March 9 10, 11, and 12 in our gym. Some think this is a time for older people to go to the games, but this is when we need, student support most.

We want to have many candidate this year, so be thinking about the office for which you would like to run!
