Climb Off Your See~Saw!
There are some third graders at
GHS!
No, they are not eight years old;
they haven’t come from Brooks to
have lunch at Senior; as a matter of
fact, these “children” are GHS stu
dents whoi act like children only
part of the time—at lunch.
You don’t have to be a detective
to discover who they are. They can
easily be spotted at the tray counter
every day. They are the ones who
break in the lunch hne in order to
get their lunch first with complete
disregard for other students’ rights.
For a week or twOi, some members
A Good Example - - - Mr. Ben L. Smi
Each person, in striving to reach
his highest goals, should try to help,
to enrich, to better, to somehow
influence the hves of those whom
he meets. Since each of us must
have some goal, some high purpose
to follow, let us all try to become
citizens who would ever imitate the
example of Mr. Ben L. Smith.
Mr. Smith’s constant dedication
to the furthering of education in
both our city and in North Carolina
will serve as an ever-present re
minder of the great tasks and re
wards given to those people who
choose teaching as a career. With
a bright word and a cheerful smile

for all whom he met, Mr. Smith
soon found many friends after mov
ing to Greensboro; it was this posi
tive outlook upon life that helped
sustain him through many difficult
moments in his life.
Winston Churchill once said:
“Never was so much owed by so
many to so few.” Truely, Mr. Smith
was one of the few, and we are the
many who shall continually benefit
from and remember his outstanding
life and services.

COUNCIL CORNER
Dear Students, ^
School spirit at GHS Is dead!
Yes, I mean this- The school spirit of
1870 students should be able to run even
a deaf mute out of the stadium at any’
football game. At our games we rarely
have more than half the student body;
if that half appears, folks get real
pepped-up about “our wonderful school
spirit.” Last year, Reynolds High nearly
had more people here at our home game
than vve did. Where is the spark that
gives them the loud, cheering school
spirit that we lack? Maybe students feel
they won’t be missed if they aren’t at a
game; if just one person had this idea,
it would be permissible. But when 900
students to this, attendance is greatly
lowered. Or maybe students think it is
not sophisticated or grown-up to yeU.
How wrong they are! ,
How can we improve school spirit?
Cheer - Yell - Shout - Scream - "Whoop
Holler - Whistle - MAKE NOISE when
the cheerleaders ask you to.
Porudly display senior class ribbons!
Everybody, teachers too, should wear a
ribbon all week! Then take it home, and
wear it to the game! One dime is a very
small price to pay for the amount of
boosting the sight of a Whirlie ribbon
can give to a football team or for the
damage this morale can do to the oppos
ing team. Don’t wait for us to ask you
to buy a ribbon; you ask us to sell you
one!
Plan your week so you can attend all
fo our home games and many of the out
of town contests.
Now what can each class do? Sopho
mores—get out and sell those pencils.
We know you are a vital, important part
of GHS, so prove it. You can make just
as much money for your class project asj
any other class, so do it. At the games,
you should make just as much noise and
show just as much enthusiasm as any
body else, so show it. Set a good example
for your “elders” to imitate.
Juniors—take an active part in all
school activities. Having had a year’s
experience at GHS, you should know how
much our school depends on people to
do the many jobs nece.ssary to keep a
school in top-working condition. Be help
ful—Be considerate—Have fun!
Seniors,—coming up soon is our big
project, the Christmas pageant. There
are many, many jobs for each and every
one of us to do. Listen to the news
you’ll soon be hearing about “The Other
Wiseman” and enter into the work of this
project. This is our last wonderful year
at GHS. Let’s make it the very best ever!
I am proud to be a student at GHS.
We have a great school, so let’s show
and tell other folks just how grand it is.
See you and hear you at the game!

of the traffic squad were placed in
the cafeteria to see that no one
broke into the lunch line. No one
broke in line, and the line moved
faster than it has since school
started.
But why should these measures
be necessary? Shouldn’t high school
students be mature enough to rea
lize that breaking in line is a child
ish act? Do students at GHS really
have to be regimented and kept
under strict surveillance? Unfortu
nately, the answer seems to be yes;
yes, at least until some members of
the GHS student body decide now
is the time to grow up.
Edited By Terry Jones
To help you start the new semester
off right, so that you’ll at least be a
vertical being come next cram time here
are some helpful hints;
1. Bring the teacher newspaper clip
pings dealing ^ith his subject and dem
onstrate fiery interest. If you can’t find
items dealing with his subject, bring any
clipping at random. He thinks every
thing deals wdth his subject.
2. Look alert. Take notes eagerly, If
you look at your watch, don’t stare at it
unbelievingly and shake it.
3. Nod frequently and murmur “How
true.” To you this seems exaggerating
but to him, it’s quite objective.
4. Sit in front, near him. (Applies only
if you ntend to stay awake.)
5. Laugh at his jokes; you can tell. If
e looks up and smiles expectantly, he has
told a joke, believe it or not.
6. Ask for outside reading. You don’t
have to read it. Just ask.
7. If you must sleep, arrange to be
awakened at the nd of the period. It
creates an unfavorable impression if
the rest of the class has left and you sit
there' alone, dozing.
8. Be sure the book you read during
class looks like' a book from the course.
If you do math in biology and biology in
math, match the books for size and color.
9. Ask any questions you think he
cannot answer. Conversely, avoid an
nouncing that you have found the answer
to the question he couldn’t answer, and
in your younger brother’s second grade
reader.

WHAT Is A KISS?
It is a noun because it is common and
proper.
It is a pronaun because she stands for
it.
It is a conjunction because it joins
together.
It is a verb because it may be active.
It is a preposition because it has an
object.
It is an infinitive because it needs no
explanation.
It is an adverb because it tells how
much he loves her.

Except for my grandmother!
She has a little red unicycle
And a peg leg which she uses
To poke the heeds out of dill pickles.
