As a mark of affrrtion anb appreciation for Ms former srruirr the tnbents of the (Greensboro l iplj School bebirate to Milrtj ffiantjjlmt Swift this the tbirb oolume of (The Meflertor ' .V : Wiley Hampton Swift . “Education is being led into one ' s fuller manhood.” W. H. Swift. ILEY HAMPTON SWIFT was born at Brandy Wine, Watauga County, North Carolina, in the year 1875. Tie received his early training at the country school near his home and at the private school of R. P. Pell, at Linville, N. C. He entered the University of North Carolina in the fall of 189f and remained there one year, after which time he returned to his home county and taught two years. In the fall of 1898 he resumed his work at the University and remained there until he graduated in the spring of 1901. In the fall of 1901 he came to Greensboro as principal of the Greens¬ boro High School. He was made superintendent of the Greens¬ boro Public Schools in the fall of 1904, in which capacity he served until the spring of 1910. As a teacher he did not belong to that class who think that teaching is merely imparting knowledge. Ills idea of real teach¬ ing was to descend into the depths of the soul and touch the root of the human plant; to develop the student along the line of self-reliance and mental freedom; to sow the seeds of truth and patiently wait for the harvest, knowing that it must have time to take root in the deeper mind. Such a teacher leaves his stamp upon the lives of his pupils. He creates an atmos¬ phere, wholesome and uplifting. He lives from a great depth. We feel and act the consequence of such lives without knowing how we follow. Such a teacher was our former superintendent, Wiley Hampton Swift. As a superintendent he was painstaking and energetic. He was in sympathy with all school progress, yet he brushed aside Page four without ceremony everything that smacked of the artificial. He took no stock in the fine-spun pedagogic theories of the day and discouraged all tendencies to reduce school work to a mechani¬ cal process. He believed in the individuality of both teacher and pupil, and encouraged freedom and self-reliance as far as possible, in both mental training and discipline. He held the theory that education is not only a preparation for life, but that it is life, arid that all phases of life should be developed in the student. No department of school work which was founded on some underlying principle of life failed to receive his stimulating support. Ills method of administration and teaching reflected itself in the pupils as a splendid school spirit of which our schools are justly proud. In the spring of 1910 Mr. Swift resigned as Supeiuntendent of the Greensboro city schools to begin the practice of law in Greensboro. He carries with him into his new field of labor the love and esteem of all his teachers and pupils. We hope that the profession of law has in store for him even greater success and possibilities than that of teaching. As a token of our love and gratitude we dedicate to him this our third volume of The Reflector.

R. JAMES L. MANN was born in Abbeville County, South Carolina, in the year 1872. He graduated at Emory College, Georgia, in 1893. lie completed his education and received his doctor’s degree at Berlin in 1903. Up to the beginning of the present year his work as an educator was in South Carolina. lie has been connected with all prominent educational movements in that State during the past decade. In school work Dr. Mann stands for thorough organization, scholarship and moral discipline. His aim is to produce men and women of knowledge and character. It is hard to estimate a man’s work in education while he is still in it, because education is the cosmic evolution of the inner life, and only time will prove the correctness of educational policies. In a broad sense we cannot, as yet, place any just esti¬ mate on Dr. Mann’s work here other than that his policy is working out for the schools of Greensboro a more thorough scholarship and a more completely organized system of schools.

We should like further to arouse a greater school spirit and pride in both the student body and the public. We wish the High School to be a pride to every student connected with it and to every citizen of Greensboro. If any one should have a tendency to feel a sting in any thing that has been published let him remember that everything is published in good spirit and that nothing is meant as vicious or unkind. We now submit our work to its supreme critics—its readers—- to say how well v T e have accomplished our purpose. The Editors.

The evening of parting is nigh; And cords that materially bound us We sever now with a sad sigh. But still in our spirits there’ll linger, A mem’ry our life’s walk to bless, And joy will point backward her finger To hours spent in old G. H. S. Our past we have spent here together, Our future we none can foretell; Through sunshine and shadowy weather Careers have been founded full well. And as out through world-walks we wander, This sentiment we’ll e’er confess: As time passes hearts will grow fonder Toward those at our dear G. H. S. Per Aspera we have encountered, Ad Astra we yet must attain; And heights of achievement unmounted Rise up in a mass on life’s plain. But, oh, how our days here have aided In breaking down Ignorance ' s bars! How patiently we’ve been persuaded Through difficulties to the stars! W. C. D. K. Page sixteen HENRY P.

Page thirty-two Senior History N the undertaking of so great a task as that of writ¬ ing a history of the Class of 1911, a great obstacle confronts the historian. There is no doubt that to present accurately our history in detail would require much more time and space than is allotted. So we must con¬ dense our annals to fit the patience of the reader and at the same time enlarge them to do justice to our class. On the first day of school, in the fall of 1908, there was to be seen in the High School yard a comical crowd of boys and girls. We were without form and void in most every respect, except that we were capable of growing. In a short while, however, we were duly initiated into High School life, and from that time we, as well as others, have realized our importance. Owing to the fact that our class was so large in our Junior year it was divided into t hree sections, but notwithstanding this fact, we stood together at all times and were united in spirit, if not in body. AVe do not now boast of the display which this spirit made of itself, for many of us were very young and had not then put away childish things. However, in this year our class clearly showed its future possibilities both in athletics and in intellect. Five members of the football squad and one member of the first baseball team came from the Junior Class. Our intellectual efforts were justly rewarded, when, in May, we were promoted to the Intermediate Class—that is, some of us were. On returning to the High School in September. 1909, although many had found it necessary to take another course in the Junior Grade, we still had the goodly number of sixty-three members. As Intermediates we more fully realized our responsi¬ bility in High School life, and, accordingly, we decided to organize our class. Hardly had we assumed the name of Inter- Page thirty-three mediates when we began to be conscious of our strength. Even the Seniors, that strong and worthy body of devotees, realized our spirit and determination and lest we surpass them they began many maneuvers and undertakings. We responded with a “vim.” organized a “Rooters ' Club” which was a great success, and finally “took the starch out” of the Seniors by painting two large 11’s in the halls of the old High School. Here we thought our limit had been reached, so we planned a means by which both Seniors and Intermediates could lay aside their hostile class dissensions and all join in the making of a broader and deeper High School spirit. A reception was planned and immediately gotten under way. So it was that on the night of St. Patrick that the doors of the Lindsay Street Chapel were thrown open, and Seniors and Intermediates cast aside their class hostilities and partook of the most elaborate reception known, at that time, in the history of the High School. From that time we were all more closely united and have shown a better spirit. The baseball team of that spring was not defeated by any High School. Of this invincible baseball team, the Intermediates furnished three men. We were represented on the football team of 1909 to the extent of three members. One member of the debat¬ ing teams which so completely swamped Raleigh and Durham came from the Intermediate Class, a thing which had never before happened in the history of the High School. And so, when at last Commencement came again and brought with it the summer vacation, we were again rewarded for our efforts by promotion to the Senior Class—that is. some of us were. In the fall of 1910 we again returned to the old High School, but this time, not as timid Juniors, nor as hopeful Intermediates, but. as we thought, easy-going, dignified Seniors. After the first week of school had passed, we came to a realization of the truth, that the long-hoped-for, and coveted position of the Senior was not a place where ease and idleness predominated, but a place of hard work. Indeed at the first stroke of the Bi- Page thirty-four monthly hammer, five sparks flew from the Senior forge. Each successive stroke rained lesser showers until now, only thirty- two remain, who have successfully stood the test of the mould. As each day came and brought with it new duties and in¬ creased labors, we strove, and not in vain, to make ourselves equal to the situation. Truly, “the increasing prospect tired our wandering eyes,” yet we struggled on, overcoming all obstacles, and drawing nearer and nearer to our final goal. But during this long period of persistent effort, we were not confined strictly to our school duties; in fact our class has been represented in every phase of High School life. In debating we furnished this year, two members of the “triangular” teams. In athletics we furnished sis members of the football team, five members of the baseball nine, and three of the track team; while the Senior track team was victorious in the inter-class meet. We think that this year of our history has been the most suc¬ cessful of our high school life. These are the generations of the Class of 1911. It is not with¬ out a feeling of sadness that we finish our work and say farewell to those we have come to admire. But the silver cord is to be loosed, the golden bowl must be broken. The curtain is now falling on a period of our life which will always be fresh and sweet in our memory—a period which has placed its worthy stamp upon our characters, and which leaves us stronger men and women than it found us. The curtain of the future is now rising on the stage before us, but we do not yet understand the full significance of all the scenery we behold. We hope that it means success. But wherever fate may lead us, whether in the vale of misfortune and gloom or among the crags and peaks of success and happiness, we shall never forget the debt of grati¬ tude we owe to the Greensboro High School. Historian. Page thirty-five Page thirty-six furnished this year the manager of the baseball team, one player on the baseball team, three members of the track team, and two stars on the football team. We do not claim to be the best class that has ever entered the High School, but we do claim to measure up to those classes before us which have set the standard. At the close of the pres¬ ent session we hope to have the pleasure of furnishing the “finished product” for next year—the Seniors. We hope, next year, without the loss of one, to complete successfully the last chapter in the history of the “Rooster” class at the Greensboro High School. {Building tin ' if in ' NOT BY TENNYSON Sunrise and morning bells. And one last call for me! Perhaps there’ll be no morning fires to build, When I’ve put out to sea. But such a breeze as moving seems quite warm, Too warm for rest and sleep, Which comes from out the boundless deep And seems a tropic storm. Twilight, an evening yell, Another fire to start! I know there ' ll be no sadness of farewell, When I embark; Perhaps from out the bourne of time and place The floods may bear me far, Perchance I’ll reach my pilot in a place Where I’ll not start the fire.

One of the distinguishing characteristics of our class is its many divisions. Although we are divided into four sec¬ tions we have the happy ability of getting ourselves together, like the jointed snake, when occasion demands. It is rather hard for one member of the class to write any kind of an authentic history of all the different sections, but according to the records we had our origin, some in last year’s advanced Seventh Grade, some in last year’s Eighth Grade, and sad, some in this year’s Intermediate Grade. Our history is quite a precarious one. While there is nothing in it to regret, there is nothing in it out of the ordinary. Our hopes are turned toward the future, because we feel that we have in us the mak¬ ing of men and women. The cream of Greensboro’s juvenile society is to be found in our midst. Verily the beauty of our ladies doth reign, and happy is the lot of him who, during the busy hours of the day, finds time and opportunity to cast his eye in our direction. But beauty, which we have in abundance, is not our only strong point, nor is it the only virtue in which we excel. In morality we are equally noted. We have two preachers’ sons among us. They lead us in paths of righteousness. The moral tone of our class, as a whole, is good. We stand for the square deal, hard work, truth and honesty. In athletics we have been heard from already. We furnished two members of the football team last fall. Two members of the baseball team this spring are also from our ranks. Page forty-six One of our members, too, represented the High School in the triangular debate with Raleigh. We are not yet organized, and have not yet had an oppor¬ tunity to show up in our full strength. Wait until next year. We will get our class together. Our girls will appear in all their beauty, and our boys in their strength. AVe will become objects of envy in the High School. We hope to give you another interesting chapter of history next year.

They torment my soul: they lead me in paths of forgetfulness in spite of fate. Yea. though I study all night to rid myself of thy presence, oh, ignorance, thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they com¬ fort me—not. Thou preparest no answers before me in the presence of my teachers: thou fillest mine eyes with tears; my brain runneth empty. Surely ignorance and illiteracy shall follow me all the days of my life and I shall dwell in the same grade forever.

In a few months, however, on account of voluntary inservitude the nubmer diminished until one large class remained. At the present time the Grade has resumed its former size and we again have two sections containing forty-six pupils. History is a record of the thoughts and actions of people, and it takes time to do things. Our lives as High School pupils have been very brief; therefore you would not expect a very lengthy chapter from us. There are, however, a few things connected with our work this year to which we would like to call your atten¬ tion. When school opened in the fall we began the study of Latin. At first it seemed very easy when only a few simple principles were given us. Although the little green books looked innocent enough on the outside, just a glance within would cause two or three wrinkles to gather between the pupil’s eyebrows, and as he turned still further a look of despair would seize him as he shot uneasy glances out of the corner of his eye toward his neighbor. Seven of our class elected the business course in place of Latin. Algebra did not cause as much comment as Latin, for the reason we did not take it up until later in the year, nor did it look as strange either. We had seen the letters of the lower extremity of the alphabet before, and in a short time we could add X, Y and Z as easily as 3. I and 5; still we know there is lots to learn yet in Algebra as well as in other subjects. We hope, though, some day to become wise and useful men and women, and to be a credit to the High School which we all love.

Our defeats in inter-high school debates had been due to a lack of training. This gap in our school life was bridged over in the fall of 1909 by the founding of the Ciceronian Debating Society. The object of this society was to promote debating, high school spirit, and to foster a better fellowship among the boys. After several months of successful operation it was decided, in order that more thorough work might be accomplished, to make two societies out of the one. So the Diaphesian and Philomelian Debating Societies were formed in the spring of 1910. Since their formation there has been a keen, but friendly rivalry between them. Last year the Diaphesian furnished two debaters for the triangular debate between Durham and Raleigh. This year, in addition to much enthusiastic debating among ourselves, we have furnished two debaters for the triangular debate with Raleigh and Charlotte. Our work in the regular meetings of the society this year has been especially good. The boys have taken an active interest in the weekly programs; discussions have been carried on with good decorum and at times with almost parliamentary precision. The programs, at times, have been varied. One program was given, celebrating North Carolina Day; two other meetings were given over to mock trials. It is not without a feeling of sadness that we relate the fact that one of our members was convicted of assault and battery and sentenced to six months on the county roads—the result of a mock trial.

This society existed for several months, but was found to be unwieldly on account of its too great membership. So in the spring of 1910 it was divided into two societies, of which we think the Phil- omelian is the better half. During our first year we did much good and lasting work. We had many interesting debates among ourselves, and we also came before the public, furnishing the two debaters who defeated Durham High School in the triangular debate between the high schools of Durham and Raleigh. In the fall of 1910 we again came together with renewed spirit and enthusiasm. Many stirring speeches and warm argu¬ ments have occurred in the hall this year. All these arguments have not been regular debates. They have arisen from various questions which have come up during the course of the year’s work. While these discussions have led to the creation of two factions in the society, and while they have at times crystallized into clear cut lines, it has all been in good spirit and outside of the four walls of the Society every member stands a loyal Phi. As High School pupils and as loyal Phi.’s we are proud of our society and the good and healthy spirit which exists among us. Many of us fail to take advantage of the many opportuni¬ ties offered us by our societies. We hope to see the interest in society work continue to grow until the boys of the High School will consider the work of the society as important as any other school duties and privileges.

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: fear the Principal, and keep out of the office: for this is the whole duty of a student.

ATTIE Page sixty-two History of the Society HEN the High School re-assembled last fall to begin work we were forced to make some changes in the girls’ literary society. Last year the McNiell Liter¬ ary Society was organized and it grew steadily in interest and influence; but on account of the increase in numbers and lack of room it was thought best this year to separate it into two distinct societies. The members were divided into two equal sections, and each section began work according to its own plans. After electing officers and organizing we bestowed upon our¬ selves the name of Ionian Literary Society. The purpose of this society is to train its members in the art of expressing their thoughts, and to improve whatever talents with which they may be endowed. Between the two societies there is a sort of good natured rivalry that lends interest to the work and creates a pride for our own society. We hope this feeling will continue to grow until the Ionian Literary Society will occupy one of the most important places in the work of the High School. Historian.

After a year’s active and interesting work it was thought best to divide the society. We inherited our name from last year’s society, though we are in a way a new institution. Very little patrimony came with our name further than that it connects us with one of North Carolina’s most noted sous. John Charles McNeill. At the opening of the school last fall we organized with thirty-six members. During the fall term the following officers served the society: President. Eleanore Moore; Vice-President, Myrtle Preyer; Secretary, Fannie Hendrix; Corresponding Secretary, Norma Stewart; Critic, Mary Moore.

Page sixty-eight Our Debating Record UR debating record started in the year 1908. Our first contest was with Raleigh High School. The following year we again debated Raleigh. Both times we were defeated. Our defeats were due to a lack of training, for up to that time we had had no successful debating society in the High School. In 1909 it was decided that we needed a debating society, so the Ciceronian Debating Society was organized for the pur¬ pose of training its members in the art of argument. This society soon became too large. It was then divided into two societies, the Philomelian and the Diaphesian. After a year’s work we again came before the public in a triangular debate with the high schools of Raleigh and Durham. This time we showed up somewhat better, winning both debates unanimously. This year our societies have been one of the most interesting and prominent features of High School life. AYe again debate this year the High Schools of Raleigh and Charlotte in a triangular debate. It is hoped that, with the impetus we now have in ottr societies and in the debating contests we will continue until we become as famous in debating as we have in athletics and scholarship. A. F.

WILLARD EUTSLER . . President .Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer .Press Reporter Athletics in The Greensboro High School AN, from the standpoint of education as usually con¬ ceived, is a two-sided creature, mental and physical. The class work and daily routine of school life is supposed to take care of the mental man. The physi¬ cal man must be looked after in some way. The Greensboro High School has always held that one wholesome way of develop¬ ing the physical man is through clean, hard-fought athletics. Physical training, like all departments of education, must have a goal to insp ire it with interest and spirit. This spirit can be formed in no other way better than by games between other institutions of similar standing. Athletics is degrading, like everything else, when its goal lies within itself. No phase of life should contain its own goal. Each step should lead to a higher one. To think and make thoughts our aim is not to be educated. We are truly educated just as we enable ourselves to serve others. The strong arm within itself should not be the aim of athletics. But the man with the strong arm, other things being equal, can do more in the service of his fellows than the man with no arm at all, or the undeveloped arm. Our aim, then, in athletics is to develop Page seventy-six a body capable of furnishing’ energy sufficient for the convic¬ tions of a strong and active mind. Since the foundation of the High School our record in ath¬ letics has been one of which we are proud. We have taken lick¬ ings, it is true, we have been wallowed in the dust, but we have taken it like men. We have often licked the other fellow, but we have always helped him up and brushed him off and told him we hoped he would recover. We have played the game hard and clean from start to finish. We feel that our interest in, and conception of. athletics has done much for the High School. We are proud of what athletics has done for us and we hope the com¬ ing classes will foster the same athletic spirit that now exists among us. Page seventy-seven COACH S.

Our material was raw and inexperienced; but under our excellent coach, Mr. Clay Williams, we soon began to show signs of organization and strength. In six games with rival teams, we won four decisive victories, being defeated by but one high school team to the score of 5 to 3. In comparing the team of 1910 with those of former years a short review of the records of these championship teams will probably be interesting. 1907: G. II. S. 5, Durham H. S. 0; G. H. S. 28.

Page eighty-four MISS MATTIE LEE RIVES SPONSOR OF THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION High School History The Greensboro High School was founded in the year 1899, under the superintendency of Mr. G. A. Grimsley. At the time of its founding there was no suitable building available nor was there any money to build one; so as a makeshift the old Catholic Church on Forbis Street was remodled for high school purposes. It was used until the fall of 1910, when it would no longer ac¬ commodate more than half the pupils in the High School depart¬ ment. The Lindsay Street Building, which had been used up to that time for a grammar school, was taken for the High School. This building is, however, unsuited for a high school, and in view of the fact that the new central High School Building will be completed by the coming fall term, the Lindsay Street Building will again be used for grammar grades. The first principal of the High School was Mr. S. C. Smith. The principals in order since Air. Smith have been Messrs. Broadhurst, Swift, Jackson and King. While the High School has never had a building to lend in¬ spiration to its students, it has not been lacking in a faculty to make up for any lack in equipment. We have taken high rank in athletics, and with few exceptions we have held the State Championship every year since athletics became a prominent feature in the city high schools of North Carolina. In debating our record has not been so good, yet in the triangular debate last year between the High Schools of Raleigh ' and Durham we won from both with a clean sweep. This year we have another triangular debate with Raleigh and Charlotte, the results of which are yet to be seen. Our work has by no means stopped within the limits of oitr school life. Our boys and girls have taken high rank in the colleges of our state as well as in practi¬ cal life. Page eighty-six A St. Valentine’s Celebration O social function connected with the Greensboro High School has ever been enjoyed more than the Valen¬ tine party, which was given the present Senior class this year by the class of 1912. For originality and attractiveness, this reception will always be remembered, and to the tired, careworn Senior, that night has appeared as a red- letter day during the rest of his career as a Senior. The reception was given in the Y. AV. C. A. rooms; and days, hours and almost minutes were counted, with cliild-like anticipa¬ tion, between the day when the invitations were issued until that evening. Everybody and everything was excitement! At last the “long-wished-for ” hour arrived. The reception rooms were tastefully decorated in lavender and white, the Seniors’ class colors, and convenient cozy-corners were hidden among banks of ferns and palms. After the arrival of all of the guests, four red cardboard hearts were given each, and knowing, I suppose, the egotism of the Seniors, one of the Intermediates explained that a heart was to be forfeited when¬ ever the pronoun I was spoken. This proved to be very enter¬ taining, and an excellent means by which everyone might become acquainted. In the next contest, the girls were supplied with four hearts and four mittens. The boys were asked to try the art of pro¬ gressive love-making to the girls, and each girl, when she thought the boy successful in his attempts, should give him one of her hearts. On the other hand, the poor fellow, who failed to win a heart, was consoled by one of the mittens. Thus the even¬ ing was spent merrily, and for the first time the Seniors wished to be Seniors always. A Senior.

Page ninety A Man s Man OSEPII -JONES and his wife sat on the porch of their old Southern home in the cool dusk of a sum¬ mer evening, tired, happy and expectant all day. The house, the kitchen and even the negro quarters had been affected by the wonderful preparations for the arrival from school of Betsey and Joseph, -Jr., son and daughter of this couple. Hand in hand, the two sat and watched the setting sun through the forest; now golden in its splendor, as if defying the world, then deepening into a sudden blush, and finally, a dull purple, as though preparing to go down to its rest in serenity. Neither spoke; and there was no need of speech, the quiet joy of the sun seemed to have reflected itself in the faces and minds of this pair. Each was fondly dreaming of two loved ones and thanking the good God, who gave them such children. Suddenly the sun sank below the horizon. They sat still sometime longer, then arose, and went into the house. Mammy met them in the hall, holding aloft two silver candle¬ sticks. These were valued heirlooms, which had been brought over by the original Joseph Jones, who had been compelled to leave England, on account of having signed the death warrant of Charles II. ‘‘Bless de Lawd. Miss Nancy, ain’t dem chillun come yit? Seem like ole mammy jes can’t wait no longer; her arms jis aches to hold her babies agin. Listen! I heali ’em comin thro’ de big gate now,” and mammy started toward the door. Before she could get there. Betsy and Joe burst into the room. When the two children were doing full justice to fried chicken, beaten biscuit, waffles, pickles and sundry other Page ninety-one Southern delicacies of Aunt Mary’s, Mrs. Jones suddenly remem¬ bered that Harry Eddington, Joseph’s roommate, had not ar¬ rived with him as expected. “Joe,” she inquired, “where is Harry?” “Who is Harry,” interposed Betsy, looking up from a luscious peach she had been eating with evident relish. “Is he good looking? Can he ride, row, play tennis and be nice to a girl?” “He can do all that, and more too; but you needn’t be get¬ ting so excited, Sis, because he is a man’s man, and you can bet he won’t waste any time on you,” came sharply from Joe. “ Indeed ! well, we shall see,” was Betsey’s laughing rejoinder, but in slightly malicious voice, as she ran out in search of mammy. Harry’s arrival next day brought forth Betsey’s most win¬ some frock, bewitching smile and coquettish glance. Harry was duly impressed. That night was only the beginning of Betsey’s campaign to win the heart of the “Man’s Man.” Ere his three weeks were out. Harry captivated and in the schoolboy fashion, laid his life and fortunes at her dainty feet. With a deliciously malicious laugh, Betsey declined to give herself to a “Man’s Man.” So do we often suffer for the sins of others. Harry, because of a light remark of Joe’s, was cast out of Eden, and terminated his visit next day. A decided coolness sprang up between brother and sister. We will never know just how this little family feud would have ended, for in the next few days, all family troubles were swallowed up in a great national calamity—“War between the States! ’ ’ Mr. Jones was one of the first to rush to the front. Joe followed less than a year later; and Betsey and her mother were left alone with the few faithful servants remaining. Although busy from noon to night, making broths for the sick and wounded and tearing up sheets and other available cloth for bandages and lint, yet Betsey often found time to steal up to the chest in which her gay frocks were laid away, and gaze Page ninety-two on the one she had worn when she refused Harry. Often, too, a sigh would escape her as she turned away. Until the last battle, both Joseph and his father escaped serious injury. But along with the news of peace, and the return of father and son came the dread news, that Joe had been desperately wounded. The duty of bringing Joe home devolved upon Betsey and Mammy, since her father’s ill health kept her mother at his bedside. Some surprise was evinced when Betsey returned with two wounded soldiers instead of one. The second proved to be none other than Harry Eddington whom Betsey had found, also sorely wounded, lying by Joe’s side, and whom Joe insisted—to Betsey’s secret delight—should be taken home with him. The arrival of Harry’s sister, Lucile, a few days later, tended much toward Joe’s speedy recovery, and in a few weeks, to use his own words, he was “as good as new.” After eight days of delirium, Harry fell into a refreshing sleep. When he awoke, he beheld Betsey standing at the foot of his bed with a tender expression in her eyes. Immediately Harry started forward and also made rapid advances on the road to recovery. Two weeks later, the sun was again setting, as it had set on the night before Harry’s visit. Mammy passing through the grape arbor heard voices on the other side. Irresistibly, she stopped and listened: “Will you accept a ‘Man’s Man’ now?” came floating on the gentle breeze to her. The reply was scarcely audible, but what¬ ever it was, a smile lit up the old negress’s face as she trudged on. She had not gone far before she heard two more voices, this time a girl’s came first. “That shows tire ingratitude of you men,” came in silvery tones. “Betsey said that Harry told her that things she fixed for him tasted better than mine. I see you love your sister as Page ninety-three much as he does his.” Again the reply was inaudible, but the same voice said: “Oh! Joe!” Mammy again went forward, now silently laughing, and this time her thoughts found expression in words. “Bless de Lawd, if dem chillun aint fergot all about fightin’ and done gone to cooin’, same as turtle doves.” Appraraiirrs ’Tis best to dopt de way o’ lookin’ into things; Don’t take a ’spicious quarter tell you notes how it rings; De wum dat bites de June apple will find a place to hide, An’ de one upon de backer-leaf will take de under side; An’ a watermilion in de patch dat seems to thump de bes’ May show de meanes’ inside, when it comes to stan’ de tes.’ You better not be buy in’ all de handy things you cross, Tell you find out sumpin’ ’bout ’em and diskiver what dey cos’.

Mogul Mendelsohn, better known as the great scientist, startled the world to-day by the announcement of his discovery of, perpetual mo¬ tion. Here is the principle of it: A lever is attached to Clara Pat¬ terson ' s jaw bone, producing un¬ limited power and unceasing mo¬ tion. Science has shown that one stick of chewing gum will last for fifty years. But even if the supply of chewing gum is used up, there is no fear of failure, for it is found that the jaw bone moves all the time whether chewing gum or in ordi¬ nary talk. Special to the Spitball, 11:30 A. M.—While experimenting with his new invention this morning Mogul was struck in the solar plexus with the main lever of his machine, ren¬ dering him unconscious for an hour and a half. It is thought that he will recover. Mogul’s lawyer has this day ap¬ plied for a patent which is expected soon. World-wide interest is being manifested in the new discovery. A GREAT CAPTURE. Made by the World’s Greatest Magic¬ ian, Dr. Peleg Turner. Dr. “Peleg” Turner, better known in magic circles as “Wizard Pe¬ leg,” has captured and formed a monopoly on space, and has con¬ fined it within the walls of his own cranium. “Peleg” has the reputa¬ tion of having the most “spacious” head of any man now in existence. HON. CHINK PIERCE BADLY INJURED Heated Discussion in Senate Cham¬ ber—Hon. Chink Goes to Produce Evidence — Meets Horrible Acci¬ dent —- May Recover. Special to Associated Press. Raleigh, N. C.—While in a heat¬ ed discussion in the senate cham¬ ber today, advocating a bill prohib¬ iting the use of slang, Hon. Chink Pierce was asked by one of his op¬ ponents for a definition of slang. Soon after being excused by the Chairman to get a dictionary so that he might define the word slang, he was seen returning to the chamber with a large “Web¬ ster’s Twentieth Century Interna¬ tional Unabridged Encyclopedia of Unpronounceable Words.” While ascending the steps with this volume on his shoulder, he stumped his toe and fell. The words were scattered in every di¬ rection and the argument in the Senate was broken up. Hon. Chink was carried to the hospital and it was found that he was pierced in several different places. “Trisacramentarians” had pierced his solar plexus; “Recrud- escentations” had crushed his skull; while a more serious wound had been inflicted by the word “Uniformitarianism,” which was found sticking in his throat. Sev¬ eral other dangerous words were found in various parts of his ana¬ tomy. It is not generally believed that he will recover. The Spitball ex¬ tends its sympathy to his family. A later report states that Hon. Chink is sinking very fast and un¬ less he soon rallies there is abso¬ lutely no hope for the popular statesman. FIERCE FLAMES SWEEP EVERYTHING Many Lives Lost-—Fire Department did Good Work—Fire Made Great Headway before the Alarm was Turned In --- Great Commotion in School-—Sympathy Abundant. Sir Percival Hotspur White re¬ sides near the radiator. Today when he came in from the first recess he carelessly laid his hat on the aforesaid room warmer. In a short while fumes and much smoke were noticed in the room. The alarm was turned in from box 23. The firemen responded prompt¬ ly, but the flames had gained such headway before the firemen reached the scene nothing could be done. The hat was consumed before the helpless inhabitants could be res¬ cued. The very thought of lives being lost in the flames created a panic among the girls, and confusion among the boys. Many girls faint¬ ed. Much sympathy was manifest¬ ed for the loss of both property and lives. DEBATE BROKEN UP Noted Authority Makes Statement— No Grounds for Argument. On last Friday evening the Dia- phesian Debating Society was just ready to begin a debate on the ques¬ tion, Resolved, “That the moon is inhabited. Just before the debate began Mr. Renard Mitchell said to the society that it was not. The president asked the gentleman how he knew. He stood up. The judges decided in favor of the negative without further argument.

Entered at the Postoffice as matter of SOME CLASS Wednesday, March 25, 1911. Mr. Doub Kerr is the only poet among the Seniors. The rest are all sane. We would suggest to the school management the removal of several desks which have been occupied by students for some time with broken backs. We regret to note that the “Daily Patrician” which has been edited at this place for some time by Mr. J. Turner has gone into bankruptcy. Mr . Rosenblatt is to open an office here and publish a weekly periodi- odical called “The Bumblebee.” What ' s the matter with Peleg? There is one serious defect in our system of education here at the Greensboro High School, that is our complicated system of exami¬ nations, and by-monthlies. Statistics show that the majority of high schools have examinations; a great many have by-monthlies. What has been the result? Ten thousand high school pupils have died within the last five years. Five thousand have failed to make good at college. Twenty-five thous¬ and have failed in business. Two thousand have been carried to in¬ sane asylums. All this goes to show that examinations should not be in our high schools. It is true that the doctors and drug stores flourish as a result of our hardship. But is it right to let one class grow rich at the ex¬ pense of another. Should we free¬ born Americans allow this destruc¬ tive institution to go on? We have shown you the folly of it and the evil it causes, now will we continue to stand for it? Too, it is not right from the standpoint of the teacher. So long as teachers have examination pa¬ pers to correct, they will not have sunny dispositions. The time is coming when the student will no longer stand for it. When examinations have been abol¬ ished we will have sunny teachers, smiling pupils, flowers blooming around the building, and everything will indicate prosperity. A new organization has recently- been launched here Which styles itself as the Ata Bita Pie Fraterni¬ ty. The object of the organization, we understand, is to hermetically hide half moons from the wistful, watchful, watery mouths of spiteful, suspicious spectators. These tenacious toters of the semi-circles a few days ago cuddled their crude craniums close to¬ gether and stamped their stony countenances into the camera of the High School photographer. A copy of this photograph is to be sent to the president of the Na¬ tional Biscuit Company, the Speaker of Congress, the Mayor of Rudd and other imjjortant individuals. We predict a position of peculiar preeminence for this crowd of crus¬ ty crammers. They have already demonstrated their ability in their profession and their reputation has a sure place in history. ANNOUNCEMENT The Spitball is requested to an¬ nounce that Mr. F. Wysong is to open an office uptown at the be¬ ginning of the holidays, where he will be prepared to answer any and all questions regarding science and archaeology. Mr. Wysong is a great scholar and inventor and his reputation needs no boosting by us. The air¬ ship which he has recently invented has broken the world’s record for immovable stability. Other inven¬ tions and discoveries of his are creating much interest in the scien¬ tific and archaeological world. ITEMS OF INTEREST. The Junior B Ill’s want that quarter, and they’ll get it too. Mr. Wip. Grimsley is paying an extended visit to the Intermediate Grade. Mr. H. P. Foust has just returned from Lynchburg where he placed his order for commencement shoes. Mr. Walter Rowe is now visiting the Intermediate Grade where it is thought he will remain till next year. The teacher’s eye is often struck on entering the Chapel rooms by pieces of chalk which lie scattered over the floor. Miss Vivian Paylor is to spend vacation in Paris, when in the fall she is to return, an example of the latest fashion. Religious services were held last night by Rabbi Mendelsohn for those Seniors who have departed to lower regions of school. We are glad to state that Mr. Sidney A. Gayle succeeded in pass¬ ing Latin at the last bi-monthly examinations. Sir Percival Hotspur White was today made president of the “Order of Free Lunch Grabbers.” This association does not believe in “square” meals. We regret to say that Miss Mar¬ garet Bradshaw was unable to at¬ tend the moving picture show last night. We have heard that they gave the show any way. We are proud to announce that Misses Ruth Vanstory and Ruth Phipps have tied for the prize as chief toters of the red ink. We congratulate them for their suc¬ cess. Mr. Curtis Holland has at last found a teacher for Senior history and as the work has been unusually hard on him this year to keep the Grade supplied he will take quite an extended trip abroad this sum¬ mer for his health, visiting Rudd, Pelham and other places of scenic beauty.

The SPITBALL extends its sym¬ pathy to both the dead and the living. Editors. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. The somnambulist of a shattered dream—an old maid. As cold water to the thirsty soul so is good news from an examina¬ tion. A whip for the horse, a yoke for the ox, and a rod for the truant’s back. A word fitly parsed on Latin class is like apples of gold in pic¬ tures of silver. My son, hear the words of wis¬ dom and feed thy soul upon the knowledge of truth. An examination is the absence of things hoped for and the substance of things forgotten. Answer not the question of a fool, lest thou be considered an animal of the same species. A boy’s voice at the age of four¬ teen is like a broken tooth, it is a continual annoyance. A wise man profiteth by his mis¬ takes, but a fool stumpeth his toe on the same root day by day. He that boosteth his own head boosteth to his hurt; he is like clouds and wind in time of a drouth. A wise suitor heareth the tread of the father at bed-time and is away, but the fool waiteth for the rap on the parlor door. Withdraw thy foot from thy sis¬ ter’s shoe and thy arms from out her cloak in due time, lest she lock them up the next time she leaveth home. There is an answer that seemeth right on examination, but the re¬ sult thereof is zero. Beware of false answers that come to you in moments of doubt. Remember now thy pocket-book at the first of the month while the evil bills come not nor duns draw nigh, when the banks shall say, you have no money in them. 4 THE SPITBALL March 2oth, 1911 ONE CENT A WORD WANTED.

Wyscmg will open his mu¬ seum next week for the amuse¬ ment of the public. This noted scientist has some articles that are causing a great deal of comment at present in the scientific world. Among other things, be has a tooth¬ pick that he has positive proof was used by Alexander the Great when he crossed the Hellespont and conquered the Britains. He has also a pen which he has unearthed recently, and which he declares was used by Caesar when he wrote his satires and epistles to the Cor¬ inthians. A document which is causing more comment than anything else is probably the telegraphic report sent to Pharaoh by his daughter, giving a detailed account of the discovery of Moses. Another thing which is attracting considerable at¬ tention is a colletcion of kodak pictures showing the construction of the Chinese Wall. Prof. Wysong states that these were reproduced from moving pictures by Richard Coeur de Lion when in China on one of the crusades in the year 500 B. C. The public is cordially invited to the opening of this unique museum. Every one can see these sights and also the Prof, himself for the small sum of two bits.

CASE THRESHING MACHINE COMPANY, of Racine, Wisconsin, has entered two Case Cars in the 2300-mile Reliability Run conducted by the Modern Power Publishing Company, of Winnipeg, Manitoba. This tour covers the three provinces of Man¬ itoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta. The cars leave Winnipeg about the first of August and proceed west from Brandon one hundred and thirty-three miles, then northwest to Sas¬ katoon ; from there almost due west to Edmon¬ ton, the capital of Alberta. From Edmonton the tour proceeds south to Calgary and then back east through Regina, the capital of Sas¬ katchewan, and then back to Winnipeg. This tour will last about two weeks. The Case drivers will be Lewis Strang and Will L. Jones, Jr., both of whom were in the Chicago Reliability Run with Case Cars. This tour should compare very favorably with the Glidden Tour held annually in the United States.
