January 18, 1965 High Life Page Three Part III History of G.H.S. The year after Mr. Routh came, twelve students, who earned no wages, enrolled in the first divers ified occupations class in the state and one of the first distributive education classes in North Caro lina. first editor and Mr. Edhar Woods and Miss Inabelle Coleman as ad visers. It was first published Sep tember 25, 1920. Club, with Mr. Guy Phillips as Prr-sident, fir^i sponsored our sys tem of awarding stars for achiev ing honor roil. No More Mid-Term Graduates The . first students in the state to receive credit and to graduate from night-school training finished in 1951. The succeeding year brought to an end the practice of having a mid-term graduating class. A year later Miss Jean Summer- ell, a Latin teacher, brought forth the idea that school government placed in the hands of the stu dents would be successful. Lengthy discussions among the faculty and a student campaign proved the idea acceptable. So in 1922, with Miss Summeroll as advise.^*, the first council was elected, and Rob ert Irving became president. Students who were outsanding in qualities of scholarship, leader ship, service, and character were first honored in 1923, through membership in Torchlight, the new chapter in National Honor Society. Miss Nita Gre-sit served as the first adviser. Here, too, was the first veter an’s school program in the state, beginning in 1946 and extending until June, 1948. In 1949 we were granted our own broadcasting sta tion, WGPS-FM, operating on ten watts at eighty-nine and nine- tenth megacycles. With this w'e were once again the pioneers. Athletic Associations Innovated That same year, fixed programs were established for a boys’ and girls’ physical athletic association. In the fall of 1923, the Civitan Since High Life was proving so successful, the publi^jhing of a magazine, HOME SPUN, was be gun in 1925, with Carlton Wilder as the first editt/r, and under the supervision of Miss Laura Tillett, head of the English Department at that time. Yearbook Established Presentation of Goldfinser BY PAULA MAIN For forty-eight years, students in the Greensboro High School have been challenged to do their best scholastically in order to achieve recognition through the honor roll. That the class of 1909 might always remember their Alma Mater, they began the Greensboro High yearbook, and Newman L. White was appointed editor. Goldfinger is the highly improb able tale of a rich, dynamic at tempt to radioactivate Fort Knox’s gold supply. This was a successor to the former and only publication of the high school, a combination news paper and magazine, “The Sage” Always eager to take part, Greens boro High School participated in the first state triangular debate in 1912. This movie is based on the de ceptive thriller Goldfinger by Ian Fleming. It is one in a series of 007’s fictional endeavors. Flem ming, well-known for his ability to tensify his reader, takes super natural plots and makes them plausable. “High Life” Is Born “High Life”, the school news paper, had Paul Causey as the AGNE SPOILING YOUR FUN? i( SEND MAC...F0R CENAC” (or go yourself) SPECIALLY FORMULATED for HIM/for HER Populariy Priced at your drugstore ONLY! constantly surrounded by exciting women and had the most up-to- date equipment imaginable, in cluding an Aston Martin complete with smoke bombs, injector pas senger seat, bullet shields, plus many more. The humorous presentation of the plot pokes a little fun at the American public’s gullibility. Yet, it provides a quick-moving action guaranteed to keep its audience in suspense every second. James Bond, agent 007, is the example of a man who plays with fire, gets frayed at the fingers, but is never burned. He is con- The scenery and props were past extravagent, spelling out one word —Expensive, with a capital E. Not only does Mr. Goldfinger own homes and planks on every con tinent, but he prefers hard money and never travels without his solid gold bricks. Discarding all logic and watch ing for pure entertainment the movie is terrific. It has no time to ddrag its story out and weaves one exciting scene into the start of another. James Bond himself is as ruggedly handsome and tough as any special agent for Scotland Yard should be. However, be sure and see “GOLDFINGER” from the beginning or else you will miss the first few murders. This could be the aftermath of a trampled student at a Beatles concert^ a Page student at a Page Senior basketball gamCy a sophomorCy junior or senior singing ^‘Greensboro Grimsley High*’ or perhaps it is merely 1964 with its many sore spots. Be it good or bad, it is gone forever. Farewell, *64, Between The Covers BY MARY MITCHELL Heroines of Dixie is the story of a lost cause. The story of the Civil War lasting four years and dividing our country in two. white trash, considered even lower than the slave, tell their storj. Many books have been written about the Civil War. It would be strange if this were not so. Many books have been written from the Confederate viewpoint also. Books giving only the facts, some making the war into comedy—but to me there has never been a historical book like this. Confederate women tell their story of the war through their letters and diaries. Not only the delicate southern belles but alls© the Negro women, the poor Of course it is true that men did much of the fighting, but so did the women. They fought for their possessions, their property, and their pride. They “made cour age from terror and bread froni bran.” These were the heroines of Dixie. Katherine Jones, the author, gives the facts in chronological order. She adds flavor to the story by letting the letters and diaries tell the story of the war. The au thor writes only enough to tie the words together. am mSm
