The Reflector 1927 Volume XVII PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF GREENSBORO HIGH SCHOOL GREENSBORO. NORTH CAROLINA ' -‘S ' THE REFLECTOR Foreword Lest we forget the year just past, The happy hours together spent, The joys and fears that’ve bound us fast Together here—this book is meant. Brief fleeting glimpses here and there, Of what we’ve done, we beg you to accept— Their memory we love, and dare To hope that fresh they may be kept. And if, in years that come, each scene I hat here is shown should in the heart Rekindle youthful joy and hope serene 1 hat once was there—then done is our part 7 Dedication To “Bobby” Wunsch, whose love of truth and beauty, whose lofty ideals, whose faith in the individual, and whose sincere interest in each one of us have been a powerful influence in our lives, we, the class of nineteen twenty-seven affectionately dedicate this volume of The Reflector. 3 y a?- v THE REFLECTOR Foreword Dedication I.

Though only three, Peggy feels very grown-up now. Heretofore she has been very jealous of her sister who is in the first grade at school; but when she was told that she was the mascot of the senior class, she said boast¬ fully to her family. “I’m a little high school girl now.” Peggy is Miss Margaret Vaughn McAlister, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John W. McAlister. 126 Smith Street. Billy Mendenhall is the other mascot. Although he is very small, he is trying hard to win the hearts of the girls away from the senior Toys. With his golden curls and large blue eyes he is quite confident that the fair sex will completely succumb to his graces. “As for the boys. ’ ’ he says, 1 ‘ they can go to smash! ” I le is the son of Mr. and Mrs. I H. Mendenhall, 308 Mur¬ ray Street. S THE REFLECTOR January Graduates r Randolph Barker “Even tho’ vanquished, he could argue still.’ ’ Latin Club ’22; German Club ’23-’24; Radio ’23; Band ' 25-’20.

The pilgrim party traveled far, But always in its soul There shone the light of great desire To find, at last, its goal. At times, indeed, the road was rough. At times the path obscure; But with great faith and hope all odds The party could endure. The band has reached the looked-for end; It seeks, now, fields anew. It goes forth now with other aims And other goals in view. 20 THE REFLECTOR -• ■■ The Court of Learning Ernest Scarboro CHAPTER I Now the history of the class of 1927 of the Greensboro I ligh School is in this wise: In the beginning, in the nineteen-hundred-and-twenty-third year of our Lord, on the first of September, there entered into this Court oi Learning a band ot Freshmen. Most of this bold group came up from the eighth grade, where for many months they had been storing their minds with great wisdom. And it came to pass as they did enter this court, that they were received by wondering glances from the members of the court. But these glances did prove to be directed at the weeness of two of these wee strangers, Mary Elizabeth King and Mary Lynn Carlson. Likewise it came to pass that several of the timid boys of this band were received with great shouts by a wild horde of creatures known at court as “Sophomores”—they verily did possess a great taste for Freshman blood, for they immediately pounced on the newcomers. One Jack Coble and one Ernest Wyche. by name, did seem to suffer the most at the hands of these hospitable courtiers. It happened that just after these Freshmen had recovered from their welcome and had settled down quietly that a great honor system was installed, which caused all to wonder with astonishment, and to girdle their armor with determination. All declared that stars—yea, bronze ones—should adorn their breasts every month. However, time alone has told, and at this present writing only the most studious members—Mary Jane Wharton, Bernice Apple, Betty Brown, Sarah Mendenhall, Mary Elizabeth King, and Beverly Moore—have stood the test. At length it came to pass as this band dwelt in this Court of Learning that they fell into the spirit of the place and the inhabitants thereof did no longer intimidate them or put them to flight. The remainder of this group—recruits for the journey-—came from the Junior High School. Indeed they did bring such notable characters as Myrtle Gillis and Emma Barton, then bearing no- sign of being the heart-smasher of the class ol IP27. After several weeks it did seem to this distinguished body that they, verily, were left out of all court activities. Straightway they proceeded to make a show; for were they in truth not capable of such? Now at this time of the year a great field and stunt day was to be held at court and it was decided that they should put on a stunt. One Dorothy King did dress herselt up like a negro maid and roll Graham Todd in a baby carriage. In her train were seen such kids as Evelyn Rives, Myra Wilkinson, Matilda Robinson, Nell Thurman. Joe Mann and several others. This did attract much attention and, lo, the news was spread far and wide that the Freshman stunt was the best. A great honor was conferred upon them. Nor did this end the glories of that famous band, for it did happen that in this year also some of that number started on their dramatic caieer with a production belore the court entitled. 1 The Land of Heart s Desire. Herbert Jones, Phyllis Penn, and Thelma Miles were featured in this. In this wise did the year pass. CHAPTER II Time and tide wait for no man. and so it happened that at the beginning ol the year nineteen hundred and twenty-four that in the abode ol this group there was one Miss Evelyn Martin, who did counsel wisely and point out the paths of safety. Much happiness was enjoyed by the entire group this year. Likewise it was a fact that the groups which dwelt in Barn B did visit each other quite frequently—hotly contested visits though they were at times And. lo, much speech-making did they endure from the older courtiers and counsellors—I groan to think of them. Fame, at length, did descend again upon our heroes lor their adaptness in presenting Latin plays. At this season of the year did they organize themselves into clubs and establish a name renowned the court around. But gossip—that treacherous creature—did creep in, tor it was rumored that Mr. Frank Aycock and Miss Geraldine Kelly, two of our beloved advisers, were seen daily leaning against the fence and talking in soft low tones. Always close around, however, was Ruth Simpson. “Cupid should not wound the other, she was heard to say. 31 THE REFLECTOR CHAPTER III A year again had passed and it did happen that our adventurers became known as Jolly Juniors. Likewise with this new name did they take unto themselves a new home in the very center of the Court of Learning. This did necessitate, however, new responsibilities and glories, for soon a great cry went up from the treasurer for money with which to feast and dine their fellow courtiers who were soon to seek a higher court. “Lo!” the treasurer shouted, “it doth happen that our fellows are to leave this court after many days, and it appeareth that there is much need of many dollars to provide the song and dance with which to send them on their way rejoicing.” And so, pondering on these things, the band did make plans whereby great stores of money might be brought in. A great Junior carnival should be held in the rooms and halls of the G.H.S. Court, it was decreed. And so it happened that great throngs did come to this carnival and many wonders were seen. Melene Burroughs, the great fortune-teller; Baxter Bason, the Caruso of the South; and many more famous characters were seen and heard, and the crowd did marvel at all the sights. But the exchequer was not yet filled; therefore many of the Jolly Juniors did collect subscriptions for magazines while others sold candy and rummage. At length the great sum was raised. So when the third and twentieth day of April did come, these fellows did spread a spacious banquet, and did invite the whole of the Junior and Senior groups saying, “Come ye to the Mermaid Tavern and make merry with us. for the class of six-and-twenty is soon to depart into the world seeking other courts ot learning.” And they did come to the feast which was presided over by the gracious John Gillespie, the Junior president. Again there was glory for the Jolly Juniors, for one fair member of that group, Ruth Heath by name, had shown her ability to write plays. “Masks Off” was staged by her and taken to a distant seat of learning to a contest, and given such an ovation that it almost won the state championship. Furthermore it came to pass near the end of the year of our Lord 1926, that a telegram arrived from New York stating that the two publications of the court, “High Life” and “Homespun,” had won first places. Joy reigned supreme throughout the whole court. There was a great shouting; the sound of joy was heard afar off. Another year had passed. CHAPTER IV Now this, the fourth year in the history of this noble band of adventurers, has been one of much hard labor, with but little resting by the wayside. Lo, this band must depart likewise Irom the beloved court and much preparation must be made for the journey. But under the valiant leadership of one Finley Atkisson 32 the band has prospered greatly. Much has been accomplished toward the journey soon to be made. Many talents have been discovered in this last year. Hilda Davidson, Jane Harris, Miriam Block, Ruth Abbott, Charles Mclver and Ernest Scarboro have starred in various dramatic productions. Ned Lipscomb, Willard Watson, “Pete” Wyrick and Bob Caveness have been star athletes. So, many names were added to the court’s roll of honor. And behold, as the band did make preparations for its journey amid great rejoicing throughout the Court of Learning there did overtake them thirteen husky adventurers from Buffalo I ligh School who cried out in a loud voice saying, “Take us into your group, we pray you, for our school has no room for us, and we have no place to go.” Speedily their plea was answered and they were received joyfully into G.Il.S’s. Court of Learning, and did soon become valiant members. The adventurers, known as the class of ’27, have lived in G.II.S. and gathered in large portions the fruits from the tree of knowledge. But it is written, “In the day when ye shall have eaten of all these fruits ye shall surely be driven forth from the land.” So the time has come for the departure of this class of 27. Each member goes a separate way, to lands unknown to him, over seas uncharted. May the spirit of G.II.S’s. Court of Learning guide them ever! 33 34 The Castle of Happiness Ruth I Ieath What terrible thing I had committed 1 could not imagine. I was wandering around in a large and magnificent forest when quite suddenly and unexpectedly two men dressed as Queen Anne soldiers seized me. I had not time to protest before I found myself on a big black horse and rushed down the path at break¬ neck speed. It was dusk, and I could not tell who the grim, silent figures were or why I had been thus taken, but 1 had a queer, sinking feeling that 1 was their prisoner. We rode, it seemed to me, for ages until we came in sight of a huge stone wall. Our horses slackened then, and as we drew nearer, the gate opened as if by magic. When I was inside, 1 had the courage to speak to my kidnapers and ask them why 1 was taken; at first I thought one of them was going to answer me. After hesitating a little, however, he shook his head without a word. I grew desperate. I begged, I besought, I demanded, but to nu avail. erv slowly 1 was being led to a great and dignified Queen Anne castle. I wondered vaguely whose it was. At the castle 1 was met by a group of soldiers who escorted me inside a very exquisitely furnished palace. It was an enormous one, with highly polished floors and artistic draperies. The lights were so bright that I was dazzled, and there were so many people that 1 was contused. Lovely music was being played, and a brilliant dance was in progress. My entrance, however, stopped the dances of these gorgeously dressed people.. It seemed as if a thousand eyes were focused on me. As 1 walked down between them, there was a switching of silken skirts and a clicking ot fans. I was too amazed to notice who the people were, but as 1 kept on walking among them, gradually their faces began to seem oddly familiar. It was a slow and silent procedure and very mysterious. I felt that this was no ordinary adventure. 3=5 THE REFLECTOR My escorts and I finally stood before a large throne, and 1 heard the soldiers beside me say: “Your Majesties, a trespasser.” I raised my eves to the lady and the gentleman on the throne and a sudden flood of memory rushed over me. “Finley!” I gasped. “And Mary Elizabeth!” I turned to look over the crowd again, and I realized they were all my old school mates of ’27. With a little cry of recognition. 1 looked back to the royal figures anil instantly 1 was surrounded by familiar faces. Many years had passed and we had all changed, but there was still enough of our old selves to enable us to recognize each other. After I had told them of the outside world. I began to question them, and things cleared up when they told me that they were living here ami that this was their country. I saw that my kidnapers were none other than Ned Lipscomb and Charlie Burgess, two of the strongest and most respected soldiers of the kingdom. My other escorts proved to be Joe Mann, John Stone, Charles Mclver, John I urner, and Earl Johnson, all trusted and able officers of the army. “ ' Your Majesty,” 1 said bowing and smiling, “I plead guilty.” Elis Majesty begged me to forget the incident, and Mary Elizabeth, a most gracious queen, asked to introduce me to a few of my old friends. “Here is Lord Coble, of Cumberland Castle,” she said presently. “Perhaps you remember him.” 1 found myself facing a typical gentleman of the period. I le was smiling rather cynically and there was a worldly and important air about him—important, I fancy, more in his own opinion than any one else’s. I learned, mostly from him, that he was now a very famous actor that played lover roles exclusively, although he was considering at the time whether he should play “Elamlet” or not. He told me personally that he was by far the most popular and wealthiest man of the kingdom and that he handled all money affairs of the state as skillfully as he had for the senior class back in ’27. 1 had turned away smiling when Her Majesty introduced me to Mary Lynn Carlson, or her chief lady-in-waiting. She greeted me enthusiastically. “Do give me some news,” she said immediately; “it will be wonderful to have some story of the outside world. Betty and I, you know, are the editors for the paper here.” I had started when John Gillespie came running up. He was considered, I found out later, the Beau Brummel of the colony. “I’ve got a lot of news,” he began when he had recovered his breath. “I’ve just been in a wreck—” “A wreck? Better say which wreck, you mean,” commented His Majesty. “Oh, really, don’t bother me with details.” He brushed his ruffled lace 36 collar coolly and smoothed his gold satin breeches. “Just a little upsetting— that’s all. Now where was I?—Oh. yes, you see 1 was sitting on the back of John Stone’s one-passenger carriage, and he was racing with Fred Jones and—” “Yes, yes, go on!’’ This was from Jimmy Clements, the star reporter on the paper staff. “Well, that’s all. We just turned over. Oh, yes, I have some more news, too. I just got word from the Pemberton-Wyche Hospital that our football coach. Willard Watson, has broken his ankle. Pete Wyrick knocked him down by running into him when he was looking back at some of Lura Abercrombie’s folly girls. 1 might add that Pete is suffering from minor injuries, and that the girls, Matilda Robinson, Myrtle Gillis, Emma Barton, Annie Mann, Dorothy King, and Cynthia Vaughn, are quite upset over the affair. However, Mr. Watson is resting very nicely, so I heard from the nurses, I la (dark. Wilhelmina Elder, Virginia Tucker, and Pauline Stedman—” He was interrupted by a violent laugh from Robert Paschal. “What in the world?” demanded Mary Young, now Duchess of Worchester. “Oh, Ned was just talking about the ‘Wimbish Scandals’ which he saw last night. He said that Phyllis Penn wore—” Another beautifully-dressed lady spoke up, and 1 recognized the voice ot Sarah Mendenhall. “This is too much! Marie, bring me my smelling salts. I dl let you know, vour Lordship, that 1 designed that costume.” “It was all right—what there was of it.” 1 learned that Dorothy Miller, Evelyn Rives, Dorothy Matlock. Thelma Miles, Virginia McKaughan, and Helen Curtis were all co-stars in those famous scandals, known for its beautiful girls and its leading man, Baxter Bason, whose wonderful voice always enthralled his audience. After talking a little, we all went to the Greensboro High School Memorial Building, donated by the retired actress, Miriam Block. We were thoroughly entertained there by Her Majesty who gave us some piano solos, and I found she had lost none of her talent during all these years, but rather had gained. After that Richard Cox talked on the books of the author, John Allred, and then Judson Samuel and Basil Nave gave short talks on “How to Become an Athlete.” When these were ended, a play was next presented, and it was certainly a thing of beauty—all the scenery being painted by the world-famed artist, Ruth Abbott. The play was directed by Mary Jane Wharton and Mae Murchison and financed by Herbert Lewis and Raymond McKeithan. I he cast was as follows: Nell, the winsome heroine . Dick, the handsome hero - Nita, the vampish brunette . Harry, the treacherous villain Chorus Girls .. Melene Burrou ghs. Lorraine . Hilda Davidson . Bill Campbell . Myra Wilkinson . John Allison Keller. Frances Coble, Pauline Reele, Ruth Simpson and Mae Sue Stack 37 THE REFLECTOR Between the acts Countess Marion de Talley, who before her marriage was Miss Catherine Wharton, and who is considered to excel by far every woman singer, favored us with some selections from the opera “G.H.S.,” and the Hardin twins did some original acrobatic stunts to the music of Jessie ' rate’s orchestra. When the play was over, we went back to the reception room, and there I got some choice gossip from the Countess. Bob Caviness, I was told, was away on a business trip buying up stock for the next season. Bob and Herbert Jones were the foremost merchants of the city. Nell Thurman, Swannie Wade, and Mary Bledsoe were the printers for the newspaper. They got their training, 1 suppose, from their typing back in high school. Ruby Elliott and Louise Wilson were the state’s private teachers for the children. Wiley McGlamery had resigned from the presidency of the King Oil Company, and was now directing a play called “Silence is Golden,” with Jane Harris taking the lead. He was also writing a book called “How to Become President of Anything You Want to.” Bernice Apple, with the aid of Linda Rankin, was writing a math book that she could understand. Pauline Galloway was making a rhyme for every therorn in the book. Pier Majesty interrupted us by bringing in His Excellency, Beverly Cooper Moore, prime minister and adviser of foreign affairs. Beside him were Minnie Herman and Mary Lyon Leak, his assistants. Ilis Excellency begged to show me a book Virginia Douglas was writing. Virginia, now a renowned scholar, listened to the conversation with a great deal of dignity. “I’ve worked hard on it,” she said, “And Ernest Scarboro and Eva Ford have helped me a great deal. You see, they found all the historical facts, and I have put them in with my opinions thrown in—thrown in, you understand?” 1 turned to see Martha Talman and Edith Matlock pass by in all their grandeur. They were, I was informed, hostesses of this magnificent ball. As I looked around, I saw Elbert Sampson signal to Jessie Tate and the dance music struck up again. I glanced at Idis Majesty and the queen. “I remember,” 1 said, “back in ’27 we all were to go out on a quest to find the most precious thing in the world. Have they,” indicating the crowd, “found it?” “Yes,” replied our former president. “We have all found the most precious thing in the world—happiness.” 38 Last Will and Testament Miriam Block To Whom It May Concern: We, the ladies and gentlemen of the Court of Greensboro High School, wise or otherwise, having reached a certain state of intelligence, after having labored anywhere from four to twenty years in this court, find it necessary to leave our worthy possessions to our chosen heirs before setting out on the quest for the most precious thing in the world. There will be barriers and hindrances in this search, for the Road to Happiness is not often an easy one; so we, I repeat, the ladies and gentlemen of the senior class of the Court of Greensboro High School, in the year one thousand nine hundred and twenty-seven do bequeath the following: ARTICLE I Item 1. To ' our old and decrepit, but much loved school, a pair of substantial crutches; for despite the encouraging rumors circulated concerning the building of a new school, we feel very, very doubtful. Item 2. To ease the minds of some of our aging attachments, such as the slightly soiled, but never tiring statue—Hebe; to- our uncontrollable time-piece (often called a clock); and to our tin sewing box, whose red thread and pointless needles have saved many a lady’s modesty, we bestow a room for old, discarded possessions in the new High School. We sincerely hope that our great-great-grand¬ children will see to this request. 39 THE REFLECTOR ARTICLE II Item 1. To Mr. Archer we leave a paid-up life insurance policy, as we fear that it is really getting dangerous for him to visit us since the rools themselves have begun to creak actually. Item 2. To Mr. Phillips we leave our never-ending sympathy when the dear “mommers” and “poppers” call up to see why their little sons and daughters did not pass. Item 3. We fondly leave to our dean, Miss Mitchell, for the sake ol her much- used voice, an automatic questionnaire which, by simply pressing a button, will ask such questions as, “Why were you late? “Where were you the fourth period?’’ Item 4. To Miss Grogan we gladly bequeath a gold-lined waste-basket, large enough to preserve all the much-used but still useful chewing gum daily discarded in it. Item 5. To Miss Walker we leave a dainty pair of overalls, in which she may carry out her long-desired wish—to slide down the bannister. Item 6. To Miss Tillett we will an English class which always knows its Monday morning lesson without having to be lectured to on the subject. Item 7. To Miss Blackmon we leave a set of opaque curtains to hang on the back windows, to hereby prevent her future dreaming students from becoming interested in Dan Cupid’s arrows darting about the grounds at lunch periods. Item 8. To Miss Bliss we bequeath a private escalator in which she may go from class to class without any further puffing and hurrying. Item 9. To Mrs. Comer we bequeath the hopes that there will be smaller crowds and more business in her department. Just now business is rather slack due to the persevering dieting of some of the seniors. Item 10. To Miss East we wish to leave the hope that her next typing team will make 1000 words a second, with only 99 errors. Item 11. To Mrs. Orr we bequeath a slightly gentler voice, in order that some of her innocent victims will not faint with fright when she orders them out of the library. Item 12. To the coaches we leave the patience to endure it (?) all; for heroes are made, not born, you know. Item 13. To the remainder of the faculty we leave the startling facts found on our intelligence tests, to be taught, regardless of embarrassment, just as they were stated. ARTICLE III Item 1. To the Juniors we leave our beloved session-rooms, provided they do not take in vain Miss Walker’s and Miss Grogan’s pet names for us—“my cherubs,” and “my gentle lambs.” 40 THE REFLECTOR Item 2. To each Sophomore we bequeath a rain-proof outfit, which they must wear on rainy days until they move from the cardboard barns, which insist upon leaking. Item 3. The Freshmen have requested that we do not leave anything to them. They feel that they will collect enough antiques in the next four or six years. ARTICLE IV Item 1. To the “High Life” and “Homespun” staffs we leave a private car in which to bring home the hundreds of trophies they win annually. Item 2. To the Torchlight Society we bequeath a candle that will burn brightly through the history of the school—provided the members do not play with fire. Item 3. We leave to our Student Council an extra period in order that they may not always be late to class, and so that they may have time tor a little tete-a- tete. since they have of late found it their duty to execute and promote certain love affairs recently begun in this vicinity. ARTICLE V Item 1. Mary Jane Wharton wills her gold star to her beloved cousin (more cousin than beloved, you may be sure), Mildred Knight, in order that she may ride through the rest ol the year more easily. Item 2. Chuck Burgess wishes to leave to the ever-smiling Carlton Wilder a more “church-like ' 1 seriousness. Item 3. Mary Lynn Carlson leaves her place as class baby, both in years and ways, (mostly ways) to Eugenia Isler. Item 4. Bill Pemberton leaves his comb, which is a vile red and which he persists in using in history class, to Henry Biggs, hoping—pardon the frankness— that he will make it serve a purpose other than ornamental. Item 5. Baxter Bason, second only to McCormack, leaves his thrilling bass voice to the promising Mr. Bill Byers. Item 6. Emma Barton bequeaths to Louise Thacker her winning ways, with the hopes that Louise will catch the best evei. Item 7. Ruth Simpson gratefully leaves to Alethia Sykes her professional sneeze, which she can make annoying at any desired time. Item 8. “The Four Horsemen”—Thelma Miles, Myra Wilkinson Ruth Heath and Miriam Block—reluctantly give up their toothless comb to Catherine Duffy and Margaret Ziglar. with hopes that they will care tor it with all du “taTs. Jane Harris and Hilda Davidson leave .heir ability tc.weep tears on the stage (without the aid of onions) to Luc,lie Sharpe and Eiizabe h tttl o Item 10 lack Coble leaves his John Barrymore profile, and also his ability to slander anyone and everyone, to none other than Clyde Andrews. 41 THE REFLECTOR Item 11. John Allred leaves his much treasured school-girl complexion to Herman Gardner. Item 12. Richard Cox wills his romantic-looking white sweater to Saunders Ogburn. Mr. Cox has stated that lie did not think Saunders used very good taste in wearing a yellow sweater and red wig. Item 13. Lorraine Keller bequeaths the golden glint of her hair (yes, she really insists that it’s golden!) to Cecil Bishop. Item 14. Cynthia Vaughn and Lura Abercrombie leave to Sarah Ferguson and Bessie Carson their chestnut-tree suitors. (No, that’s not a round about way of calling them nuts; it is just that they insist upon parking under the trees.) Item 15. Melene Burroughs leaves her titles—Duchess, and Countess—and her ability to “strut her plumes’’ as one of royal blood to Nell Applewhite. Item 16. Finley Atkisson leaves the right to vote to Bill Fife, who, at this rate, will be amply able to do so before he graduates. Item 17. Linda Rankin and Dorothy King, who are as different as anything differs, leave to the Hardin twins their difference. In witness thereof, we do hereby affix our class seal and signature to this last will and testament of the senior class of 1927, and moreover we do appoint Hebe as the sole executrix. Although we miss her, we know that she is somewhere in the lower world and will be able to execute the above at the necessary time. Witnesses: Mr. C. W. Phillips Miss Fannie St arr Mitchell Miss Lily Walker Miss Ione Crogan 42 THE REFLECTOR km Student Council The Student Co-operative Council of the Greensboro High School was organized in March, 1923. The purpose of this organization is to help direct student activities and to maintain honor in the school, by fostering civic virtues of self- control, courtesy, co-operation and obedience to lawful authority. The jurisdiction of the Council may extend to all parts of the school property, with the exception of the classrooms, which are in charge of the teachers. Any action is subject to the approval or veto of the principal. The duties of the council members are to observe and co-operate in enforcing school regulations, and to uphold always the reputation and honor of G.H.S. 44 Torchlight Society The Torchlight Society, which was organized in 1922, is a chapter of the National Honor Society of Secondary Schools, and has the honor ol being the first chapter established in the state. It is composed of fifteen percent of the senior class who rank in the upper fourth in scholarship, character, leadership, and service. OFFICERS President .... Vice-President _ Secretary-Treasurer .. Beverly Moore Phyllis Penn Mary Lynn Carlson 45 “High Life” “High Life,” a bi-monthly newspaper published by the student body of the High School, was founded by the class of 1921. The editor-in-chief and the business manager come from the senior and junior classes and the other members of the staff are appointed by them. In 1925 “High Life” received national honors when it was awarded second prize at an inter-scholastic press association convention held at Columbia Univer¬ sity in New York. In 1926 it received the first prize at the Columbia convention in class “B,’ and this year it won third place in the same class. 46 THE REFLECTOR “ Homespun ” “Homespun” was begun in the fall of 1925. Since the first issue of the magazine it has gained much recognition for Greensboro High School. In 1926 and 1927 at the Columbia Scholastic Press Convention “Homespun” won first place. , As the name implies, the publication is a literary one. supported bv amateur writers, the pupils themselves. Carlton Wilder is editor-in-chief, and I larry Gump is business manager. 47 THE REFLECTOR Triangular Debating Team Affirmative Negative IIenryBiggs Edgar Kuykendall I Iarry Gump Beverly Moore A Iternates Louis Brooks J.

Fine season; fine attendance at practice; fine team work. 49 THE REFLECTOR Football Football in Greensboro Iligh School this year had a very successful season. The team played eleven games, won eight, lost two, and tied one. I he season opened with only six letter men and a few of last year’s substitutes out for practice, but within the first week interest was stimulated until there were fifty men reporting for practice. Work then started in earnest and in a few weeks the squad dwindled down to about thirty boys who stayed out for the rest of the season. Much was accomplished this year in football; several stars were brought to the front. Brown and Lipscomb made the all-state team, and Watson was mentioned for the all-southern eleven. The playing of Petree and Henderson was also out¬ standing throughout the season. The summary of football for the past season would hardly be complete without giving some mention to the splendid support given the team by the local civic organizations and individual citizens. G. H.

S. . 0 Charlotte . . 15 SO Ned Lipscomb As captain, Ned has led the purple whirlwind through a successful and profitable season, lie snaps the ball swiftly and surely and generally blocks his man. Ned played an all-’round game this season, and his hard playing gave him a place at center on the all-state high school eleven. Bill Petree Bill has been a dependable guard for the past two seasons even though he has been seriously handicapped with an injured leg. His playing the past season was outstanding bv his work at blocking and tackling. Theron Brown Theron Brown is the captain-elect for the next year, and this in itself speaks for his work. He is a steady player and may always be depended on in the thick of the play. His work is regular and at times spectacular. Willard Watson Willard is an outstanding man on any football field.—his steady drives through the line always gain, his work at quarter shows a personality that drives his team onward, and his all-’round field generalship makes him a marked man in the game. Willis Hargrove Willis is a man of old football experience and his work this season was that of a consistent back. Not only does he show up on runs and tackles, but his work with his educated toe saved several games for G.II.S. this season. Ed Davant Ed was a scrappy player who was always in the game. His brother did some good work for G.H.S. in years before and it looks as if Ed was here to push up the family football honors Ray I Ienderson Ray played such a hard game this season that his teammates saw fit to change his name The Demon is a sure end who never fails on a pass and is always ready on his side of the line BillTeague Bill was perhaps the most outstanding backfield man of the past season lie had a drive through the line that would make any linesman be sorry to see him in the play and any time that a few yards were needed through center it was unnecessary to look further. 51 Boys’ Basketball Team The boys’ basketball team under the leadership of Captain Wyatt Taylor played up to the semi-finals in the state championship series. In the state tourna¬ ment held at State College, Greensboro won the semi-finals. Routh and Park were the coaches.

Among these twenty are found men of proved ability such as Brown and Phoenix. In the discus, shot put, and javelin, Brown is most outstanding. He smashed the state record for the discus throw, hurling the discus fourteen feet farther than that of the state record. Phoenix, captain of this year’s team, is a splendid man for the mile and half-mile run. I he squad is composed mainly, however, of men who are getting their first experience. Weaver, Johnson, llorney, Jones, Ouate and Burroughs add much to the prospects of the season. S4 THE REFLECTOR Baseball The Greensboro I ligh baseball nine has the prospects of having a very success¬ ful season. Coltrane and Johnson, who trained the team last year, are the coaches again this year. Although the team has not played any games as this hook goes to press it ' is probable that one of the best teams in recent years will be turned out. Several players from Buffalo High have reported, and appear to be good material. . . ... , The members of last year’s team who are back are: pitchers, bite and 1 aylm . catcher, Wood; infielders, Gardner, Wyrick, Pennington, and Jones; outfielders, Matlock arid Ogburn. 55 Autographs ) X V ; J j f ' 0 1 Kh- VvoLl2)iiX ' - cx o rvi. y__ V ' v_y«. 56 9 3 JL tUjL ivw- «y A M ¥5e¥¥9e¥¥5e¥¥9g M9e¥¥5X¥5e¥M9e¥¥9K a 3F I Collegiate cut clothes! 3 Fashions and fabrics that cannot be ' ) duplicated, even in much higher priced clothes.
