To this end, the editors have labored; and if the “ Reflector” in any way accomplishes its purpose, we shall feel well repaid for the trouble, the labor, and the effort that have been spent upon it. The editors are only human ; so we ask that in your perusal of this volume, you overlook its faults, and magnify its good points, remembering, that “To err is human, To forgive divine.” 14 THE R E F L E C T 0 R Vol. V.

Our president has been unanimously elected the most dignified of the Seniors. He has more natural dignity and courtesy than is usual in boys. Despite his dignity the boys have nicknamed Grimsley, ' ‘Puck” much to his secret, discomfiture. THE REFLECTOR Vol. V. •_ n MARY BEALL, McN.

For many months we harbored una¬ ware a genius in our midst. But one day this shy little maid blossomed forth and we discovered that she could play the mandolin wonderfully. Lillian very quiet and studious, seeks to hide her accomplishment intead of giving us the benefit of her talent. ANNIE LAURA CLAPP, lo. Born September 17, 1895. “Of manners gentle; of affections mild.” Height, a ft. in. Weight, 1211 lbs. Annie is one of our quiet, obliging members. She is always ready to help do her part and never tries to shirk Society “duties.” Yet sometimes Annie has been known to get excited and give us a free demonstation of her temper. 1918 THE REFLECTO! •23 ERNEST LACY FIELDS, Di.

He possesses a rather peculiar knowledge of History gained from his “Revised Edition.” Chemistry is his delight and some rather odorous and offensive compounds (not mentioned in the prescribed course) are the result of his experiments. When reprimanded by his teacher “Liz” assumes an air of persecuted innocence which is very excruciating. On the whole he is very angelic ( ?) as may be shown by his deportment grades. LOIS ELIZABETH EUTSLER, lo. Born December 7, 1S96. “A merry heart goes all the day.” Height, 5 ft. 1 in. Weight, 97 lbs. Secretary In.. ' 12; Glee Club, ’12.

It. is the delight of his neighl ors in the class to gibe him. He loves to tease and is always trying to get somebody hacked. His papers are the despair of his teachers for his writing has been found to be closely akin to the scratch¬ ing of a hen. VIRGINIA CONNELLY GARDNER, lo. Born October 22. 1895. ‘‘Ange’s are painted fair to look like thee. ’ ’ Height, 5 ft. 7 y, in. Weight, 123 lbs. Vice-President 1 o., ’13; Marshal, ’12; Glee Club, ’12, ’13. “Ginger” is known for her beauty— and her squeals. If anything exciting happens Virginia must give a piercing little shriek and usually a i inch to the nearest person. Life is rather a merry affair to “Ginger” and she believes in taking it easy. She has been elected the prettiest girl in the class. We sin¬ cerely hope this honor won’t go lo her head. I 1913 Tin: REFLECTOI 25 VONNIE MONROE HICKS, Phi.

To see “Rube” rush in at the last moment and triumphantly announce to Miss W. that he “got here” is a treat. Sometimes he doesn’t “get there” and then he has a great propensity for for¬ getting things so he may be found in the Senior room for 11 quite a while after school. A onnie has a good busi¬ ness head and works like a Trojan for the Annual—also he wears a number 10 shoe. MARY LOUISE HOGSHEAD, Io. Born January 2!), 1805. “Genteel in personage.” Height, 5 ft. 4 in. Weight, 104 lbs. Glee Club, ’12. Louise is one of those easy going people who take life as it comes, and doesn ' t appear to worry or fret over its vicissitudes.

Kate is a very accomplished pianist. Grave and dignified, she may always be relied upon to do the right thing. Yet sometimes Kate comes down off her dignity and becomes frivolous like the rest of us. ANNIE GORDON HUNTER, McN. Born July 25, 1896. “Ever charming, ever new.’’ Height, 5 ft. 6 in. Weight, 135 lbs. To those who do not know her, Annie seems to be dignified and quiet; yet to those who know her best, she is jolly and fun loving, ever ready to play a prank. Annie has an angelic temper and is rarety known to get ‘ ‘ frus¬ trated. ’ ’ 191:3 THE REFEECTO I 27 FLOSSIE MAE KERSEY, To.

His smile is of the variety that won’t wear off and his laugh—What can describe it! Harry is by nature an editor as well as a poet; also his knowl¬ edge of English is unequalled. The wit of the Class is Harrv, for he manages to see something funny in everything. In spite of this, Harry is one of the deepest thinkers in the class. ALFRED MILTON LINDAU, Di. Born January 3, 1898. ‘‘Young in limbs, in judgment old.” Height, 5 ft. 6% in. Weight, 147 lbs.

Words aie inadequate to describe him. He can always read his Latin—even at sight; always knows his History, English or Chemistry; always works his Geometry; last, but not least, he can always talk. At times he writes poetry and makes puns. He is the youngest member of the class in years and actions. Alfred can debate, draw most marvelous pic¬ tures and, in shori, is a most wonder¬ ful child. THE REFLECTOR 29 1912 CLARA MAY PATTERSON, Io. Born November 29, 1895. “There’s a garden in her face.” Height, 5 ft. :i in. Weight, 115 lbs. Clara is the most energetic, girl in class. She may be found chewing gum arid reading letters at all times. If you cross her, beware, for she will “shut your mouth” conclusively. The opposite sex has great attractions tor her and she has many “bows.” MARVIN PEARCE, T)i. Born February 24, 1895. “The sum of earthly bliss.” Height, 5 ft. 4 in. Weight, 99 lbs. Marvin, in other words, “Tubby,” is a very cute child. He has a most peculiar high pitched laugh which may be heard incessantly.

Marshal, ‘12; Vice-President McN., ‘12; Glee Club, T2. “ Pearline ” is one of the members of the class who has more than her share of good looks and blushes. Her eyes are dangerous looking and might do serious harm if the upper lid of one should be lowered and raised again quickly. ALICE HUNTER POOLE, To. Born February 21, 1897. “Woman at best—a contradiction still.” Height, 5 ft. 4 in. Weig ' ht, 106 lbs. Make way for the class liirt. “Pool- ey ” will flirt, I warn yo; , if there is anyone near to flirt with. Wil(l)ming- ton has had a great attraction for her since the last football reception, and she will dilate at length upon the charms of Wil(l)mington. Alice has a perpetual giggle which is wont to break out at the most unexpected times, and her blush is most radiant. Neverthe¬ less she is a “sweet child” and gets “ones” on geometry. 1913 THE REFLECTOR 31 KATIE WILLIAMS RAY, McX. Born May 18, 1896. “A kind and gentle heart she has.” Height, f ft. 7 in. Weight, 102 ' lbs. Katie is our artist. She loves to “draw” and has the prettiest map book in the elass. Sarcasm is one of her weapons with which she is very apt. Katie is subject to ‘‘fits” and has been know n to have them on report days, but she is not considered dangerous. EULA ROUSS SAPP, McN. Born June 28, 1897. ‘‘Whose little body lodged a mighty mind. ’ ’ Height, 5 ft. 3% in. Weight, 106 lbs. Editor Reflector, ’ll, ’13; Glee Club, ’ 12 . The star of our class is Eula. Truly her knowledge of Cicero is appalling. She comes from examination with her face a mile long and knows she’s failed vet she usually gets 100. Eula is tne youngest girl in the class and is one of the few people unspoiled by success. Always mistress of herself she plods the even tenor of her way, though China fall. Because of her many sweet traits she has won the love of her teachers and ■classmates. THE REFLECTOR Yol. V. 32 ETTA HANNAH SCHIFFMAN, Io.

Born December 12, 1895. “All nature wears one universal grin.’’ Height, 5 ft. 8 in. Weight, 140 lbs. Assistant Manager Track Team, ’13. Harold is a merry fun-loving young gentleman, who may be considered quite dignified. His pet plan for worming around a History question is to ask Miss S. “please to ask it ‘sorter’ dif¬ ferent and may be he could answer it. ’ ’ He has decided opinions of his own and is wont to hold forth during class and society meetings. 1913 THE REFLECTOR 33 MARGARET YOUNG SHAFFER, Io.

Madeline has been elected the dainti¬ est girl in the class. Truly she is an at¬ tractive girl, kind and obliging. Made¬ line loves to fuss about wbrt :lie has to do, yet always goes ahead and doe3 it. She may be depended on to do the right thing. RAYMOND WHITFIELD STALEY,Di. Born December 16, 1892. “And of his port as meke as is a rnayde. ’ ’ Height, 5 ft. 9 in. Weight, 130 lbs. Orchestra, ’12. ’13. Raymond is one of our quiet, sober boys. Because of this he escapes the eyes of h : s teachers and rarely ever is forced to give his “opinion,” yet he usually gives the right one when called upon. Besides this, he is “some artist.” 1913 THE REFLECTOR 35 LINDA WOOD TROGDON, lo. Born .July JSO, 1895. ‘‘Soft peace she brings.” Height, 5 ft. 7 in. Weight, 105 lbs. Linilii has a very optimistic nature also an angelic temper. No matter what the provocation she never loses her temper ami remains serene through all trials. LUCY ELIZABETH THOMPSON, McN. Born September 2, .1895. “1 ' ll speak in a monstrous little voice. ” Height. 5 ft. 9 in. Weight, 110 lbs. Lucy is onr pensive, quiet member. Her worils are few and far between. Even when she favors us with a remark it may only be heard by the black¬ board. Lucy is a diligent student and gets good reports. I 36 THE REFLECTOR Vol. V. WILLIAM BROADUS WILSON, Phi.

Broadus is one of our great debaters and is “the” geometry student of the class. To hear him speil off a proposi¬ tion or prove the most difficult original fairly makes one’s head swim. He has never been stumped yet and gets 100 on geometry recitations and exams. JOHN NESTOR WILSON JR., Phi. Born July 8, 1896. “For e’en tho’ vanquished he could argue still.” Height, 5 ft. 10 in.

Johnnie is at times most dignified— if he is orating. Let him who would argue with John, beware. There is no end to the flow of argumentation which pours from his lips. He can never be convinced against his will and maintains his views therein unto the end. Even Raleigh was forced into submission, and Cataline “rushed head¬ long from the city” when John’s son¬ orous voice rolled forth. Nevertheless John is a diligent student and has man¬ aged to get on the good side of his teachers. 1913 TIIE RE FEE CTO I 37 HUGH CLAIBORNE WOLFE, T)i.

Hugh is another one of our arguers and talkers. He has the distinction of lining the oldest member of the class. He is very charming as to looks, but to enumerate his charms would be a great task so we’ll close by saying that he ] lils ‘| )( —, —utiful hair and eompexion. EMMIE WHITTIED WITHERSPOON, McN. Born August 18, 1895. “She is pretty to walk with and witty to talk with.” Height, 5 ft. 4 in. Weight, 115 lbs. Secretary Class, ’13; Vice-President McN. ’13. ' If there is any mischief afloat you may be sure Emmie is in it. She has a blush to which only “Liz ' s” can compare. This young lady has most de¬ cided opinions of her own and if thwart¬ ed becomes “rather” angry.

Four years we learned but love for thee We looked to thee for aid; So well you taught us then, that we Now face the future unafraid. We must now go to the world without, And play life’s greatest game. Though it may sneer, and scorn, and flout, We’ll ne’er forget thy name. What though our fortune it may be To see thee ne’er again. Still with the knowledge gained from thee We shall not strive in vain. And when the course of time has brought IJs fame and honor true, We still shall say the honor ought To thy proud name be due. 40 THE REFLECTOR Vol. V. History of the Class of 1913 T HAS long been the opinion of our class that very im¬ portant persons should write down their own life history in order that those who in future days desired to study it, might be sure it was correct. The Senior Division of the Greensboro High School army, just before its retirement from active service wishes to set down its many battles, campaigns and triumphs. In the fall of 1909, a group of young people gathered to enlist in the Greensboro High School Army. These young soldiers were, for the most part, greatly impressed with their own importance. They realized that they composed about the largest division of the army and that they possessed die great name of The Eighth Grade. This first year we were engaged in some few skirmishes with Latin rules, Algebra, and various other minor enemies. At the end of the year we had lost only a few comrades and felt as if we were already fitted to be Commanders-in-Chief. After a three-month ' s furlough, we again took up arms, but this time distinguished by a new name, The Junior Battalion. A new Cornman- -der-in-Chief and a few new generals were in charge when we returned. For two months we sailed along smoothly, but one day we learned that a most terrible enemy, Bi-Monthly, had approached and that we would be com¬ pelled to fight. For two long days—and don’t forget the nights—we fought our enemy. Five different divisions, English, Latin or Shorthand, History, Algebra and Physical Geography, attacked us at separate times. The majority of us came through alive, but we shed a few tears as we missed familiar faces. A goodly number of those from the Intermediate Division who had been severely wounded, were sent to reinforce our ranks. Twice after this the order to ‘ ‘ Fight! ’ ’ came from our commander, and twice again we struck out against our enemy. And so the year passed and our hearts began to think of the furlough we so desired—yet all the while we were preparing for a campaign against very formidable enemies-—Finals—which we realized must surely be con¬ quered. For seven long days and nights of hot May weather we battled. Our generals held up before us the way of duty and we followed as best we •could. 1918 THE REFLECTOR 4] Those of our number who survived this awful campaign returned in the fall of 1911 as Intermediates. With Bi-Monthly’s first blow our number was reduced to almost half, yet those left set their faces steadfastly forward and scorned the thrusts of the enemy. Tint year we fought with Caesar in his Gallic wars; we followed England through its many victories; and attempted to conquer Algebra. But that period of our life was not spent entirely in fighting. We were allowed to meet in a body for the purpose of discussing many weighty problems, and also we chose our own president. Then we, the Intermediate Regiment of the High School Army decided to give a reception to the Senior Division. Now we had secretly a great feeling of awe for these Seniors be¬ cause they had attained the highest rank. So we were very much pleased with the idea of entertaining these comrades. After the reception which in our opinion was a great success we settled down to hard work since our last Final enemy of the year was quietly approaching. We as a body after a long irksome seige, conquered 1 the enemy and departed with happy hearts real¬ izing that we would next year be called Seniors. The fall of 1912, found us ready to begin our last struggle for Knowl¬ edge while in the High School Army. We have had hard battles this year and some of our comrades have fallen, but we still press onward to capture the Diploma. Our class has taken an active part in athletics and in debating. We have had, by far, the greatest reception of all times given us by the Intermediates, and we have conquered and have been conquered in some of our undertakings. Now, as the time draws near for the last great Final contest, we have our lamps trimmed and burning; our swords keen and sharp; and we are hoping that we may all come out conquerors. But there comes stealing over us a feeling of sadness as we think of leaving our dear Army, the Com¬ mander-in Chief and our Generals. We would thank them for their guid¬ ance, for the way in which they have led us through our battles, and for the kindly helping hand they have lent us. And we would have them know that wherever we may go in the Army of the World, fighting the Battles of Life, our hearts will ever turn back with pleasure to the happy years spent under their leadership in Greensboro High School Army. T HE EEPLECT0 R Vol. V. 42 The Last Will and Testament of the Class ot 1913 EALIZING that the end of our existence at the Greens- boro High School is near at hand, we, the Senior Class of 1913, in order that those valuable possessions now cher¬ ished hv ourselves may descend to their rightful heirs, do draw up and sign a will, and do hereby announce to the interested ones tlie following generous bequests. First. Be it known that the members of the aforesaid Senior Class do declare that this is their last will and testament. Item 1. To the incoming Senior Class we bequeath the front room on the first floor of the high school building, together with its equipment, including our much used duster and chalk box. Item 2. We give to said intermediate ( ' lass our clock which, by running too fast causes those of us who prefer not to spend our nights in study, to rejoice, as its hands approach the end of Geometry period, only to be disappointed, because the gong does not sound, but, as fate will have it we are called upon to recite and receive in return for our answers one of those awful marks made in the shape of a goose egg- Item 3. To each succeeding Senior Class we give and bequeath all those rights and privileges accorded only to Seniors, such as, the right to occupy the front seats in the Chapel, the right to hold the banner for attendance, and the privilege of leaving to the world a full descrip¬ tion of themselves, in the “Reflector, ' ’ together with their picture as they appeared, when about to depart from the G. H. S. Item 4. To Alec Malloy we bequeath the statue of the portly Connie Hicks. Item 5. “There is no royal road to learning,” so to Charles Blake we give the diligence of Eula Sapp. Item 6. Be it known that the headlight of our class, now owned by Miss Annie Hunter shall light the path of the Seniors of 1914 from the head of Florine Rawlins. Item 7. To William Watson we give the thundering voice of Robert “Bean” Harris, together with the hope that by the use of same he may be able to make himself heard. 1918 TIIE REFLECTOR 48 Item 8. As some people were endowed by their Creator with the power to get along well with their teachers, while some were not. we give and bequeath the power in this direction now possessed by Harry Morris to Franklin Pritchett. Item 9. Blushes seem to be a valuable asset, so to Margaret Justice we give the phosphorescent glow, which without the slightest provocation spreads over the face of Alice Poole. Item 10. We hereby announce that William Johnson shall by our common consent come into full possession of John X. Wilson, Jr.’s swell head. Item 11. To Lola Holland we give the modest retiring disposition of Lucy Thompson. Item 12. We give and bequeath the giggles of Emmie Witherspoon to Mary Grimsley with the hope that she will receive fully as many zeros on account of them as are now credited to Miss Witherspoon. Item 13. Be it known that William Dodson shall come into possession of Hugh Wolfe’s “horse” laugh. Item 14. As some people, though they are Seniors, are such children that, they require some more of amusement during school hours, we here¬ by announce that the valentine with the movable eyes, now made to wink by Alfred Lindau shall descend to Eugene Foushee. Item 15. W r e give to our successors the sincere hope that the price of electricity will be lowered, or that they may be able to find some means of obtaining an education without having to burn the “mid¬ night oil. Item 16. To the whole student body we bequeath our best wishes for a profitable sojourn at the G. II. K., together with the hope that the feeling that they will some day be the proud possessors of sheepskins, will cause them to work harder. Item 17. Finally to the Faculty of the Greensboro High School for the many favors accorded us, we bequeath our heartfelt thanks and pledge our undying loyalty for the future. In Witness Whereof, we set our hand this the 30th day of May, 1913. SENIOR ( ' LASS OF 1913. Bri IA DUS W ' r II .SON 44 T H E R E F L E C T 0 R Yol. V. Universal Peace ORATION N THIS new twentieth century, the spirit of peace is ruling the civilized world as it never has before. Animosity be¬ tween nations is becoming more and more a thing of the past. It has been realized that a nation, to fulfill its true destiny, must live free from the evils of dissention and war. War has come to be looked upon as a crime; peace, as an evidence of true progressiveness. What does the change mean? It means that the glories of war have been forgotten, and that a universal sentiment against war and for peace has arisen from the depths of a. whole world’s mind. The disputes of the two greatest and most progressive nations on earth are now settled by arbitration. The desire for war is prevalent only in the smaller nations of the globe and these must, in time, follow in the footsteps of those two larger nations, America and England. For peace is inevitable. Like all other great movements which have for their object the uplift and betterment of man, the peace movement is fast becoming a predominant factor in the forward march of progress. And peace means progi ' ess. Unhampered by the turbulence of strife within and without, a nation advances, it develops, it becomes a power for a better civilization. A splendid evidence of this fact is the development of our own country since the Civil War. Since then its achievements have been greater, since then its efforts have been crowned with success, since then it has grown to he the greatest nation on the face of the globe. And using its own experience as an example, it has come to be the leader in the movement for universal peace. The stars and stripes now float over a land of the free and a land of the brave, but, best of all, over a land of peace. And so will all other nations advance as they follow the precedent set by this country, for peace is one of the greatest virtues that a nation can possess. The establishment of this virtue lies in the future of world develop¬ ment. We are even now drawing nearer and nearer to the time when the last step toward making this a world of peace will be taken. The largest navies and armies of the world are now maintained not for war but for the preservation of peace. Let us hope that in the future, not even these will V I 1913 T II E R E P L ECT 0 R 45 have to he maintained, but that such a friendship will exist between nations, that no contention or war will mar the peace between them. Let us hope for an ideal civilization where peace is a factor and war forgotten. In the past, contention, strife, war have been three of the largest elements in the crumbling of governments. War has been the one great obstacle in the path of development. It has stunted the growth of nations ; it has caused the fall of kingdoms and of empires; it has trailed in the dust of time the hopes of many people. But a change is fast approaching. Peace is coming to revive governments; it is coming to aid the growth of countries; it is to be a power in a progressive age. Past experience has shown us the folly of war: let the future show us the grandeur of peace, and through peace, let world development be faster; let peoples attain a better, a higher, a nobler civilization. With peace the keynote of their relations with others, the gov¬ ernments of the globe must establish a superior international atmosphere. Thus will a feeling of friendship come to exist between nations, and dissen- tion between them will no longer fill the pages of history. The roar of the cannon will no longer be heard; the shot will no longer whistle through the air; there will be no clash of armies; the weapons of warfare will be idle. We will think no longer of the powers of war, but will rejoice in the vic¬ tory of peace. The ideal will have been reached. Peace will have conquered. 4t5 T IT E KEFL B C T 0 R Vol. V. Prophecy of the Class of 1913 LL YE who doubt that success in life shall be the lot of G. H. S.’s graduates, and that they shall win fame and recognition in this “Vale of Tears,” attend to the story of the Class of ’13; and verily you will he convinced that it is the brightest and best in the whole history of our glorious school. In the spring of 1930, I received a letter from my friend Ernest Fields, the well known stock broker, inviting me to pay him a visit, and, incidentally, to hear the Rev. E. E. Bain’s Easter sermon. 1 accepted gladly, and a few days later, left for the metropolis. At Philadelphia, President Staley of the Pennsylvania Railroad hoarded the train, and sat down by me. He soon drew out a book, in which he seemed to be engrossed. Upon investigation, the title of the volume proved to be “Poems and Stories by a Loving Couple.” Mr. Staley saw that I was interested, so informed me that said “Loving Couple” were none other than Mr. Harry Morris and Mrs. Isabel B. Morris. During the rest of the journey we had a pleas¬ ant conversation concerning these two old friends who were now the fore¬ most writers of the day. When I reached the city I at once proceeded to the newest hotel, where I received a warm welcome from Managress Thompson. Soon after dinner, Ernest called for me, and we set out for the ball game, but we had barely started when Gov. Broadus Wilson with his wife. Mrs. Clara P. Wilson, and his secretary, Miss Carriellen Hunter, drove up to the curb in a limousine, and offered to take us out. We arrived just in time to hear the umpire announce that the pitcher for the Giants was Pearce. A little after we had sat down, I noticed that Miss Hunter was very much interested in Mr. Pearce, and was using her eyes so effectively on him that the poor fellow became rattled and threw such a wild ball that it struck the batter. The player seemed to be badly hurt, so Dr. Grimsley Taylor, Ameri¬ ca’s foremost surgeon who chanced to be present was asked to examine him. Dr. Taylor apparently found serious injuries for he requested that an ambulance and two trained nurses be summoned. The ambulance convey¬ ing Misses Trogdon and Clapp soon arrived, and the player was taken to 1913 THE REFLECTOR 47 Bellevue Hospital where I later found that he was placed under the special care of Miss Lois Eutsler head of that institution. When we were returning from the game, Mr. Wilson suddenly began to wave frantically at a tall and handsome lady standing near by. Mrs. W T ilson was apparently displeased, so to ease the situation I asked Ernest who the lady was. Imagine my surprise on learning that she was my one¬ time classmate, Miss Pearl Bilbro, now New York’s most eminent charity worker. This information seemed to soothe Mrs. Wilson’s nerves somewhat and the rest of the journey was passed pleasantly in conversation. As we neared the end of our spin, Broadus invited us to dine with him at seven, and we accepted his kind invitation. Seven o’clock found us mounting the steps of the governor’s beautiful mansion, and a quarter of an hour later we sat down to dinner, after which we retired to the library. The governor then drew out his evening paper and glanced at the headlines. “I see,” he soon said, “that Madeline Stafford is engaged to the Duke of Marlborough.” “Is that so, ” remarked Clara, (if I may be allowed to speak of a gov¬ ernor’s wife so familiarly) “well, I do hope she’ll he happy; they say he has the most adorable eyes.” We all laughed at this typical remark of our hostess, and Broadus said, “Yes, and another one of our former classmates is in the limelight, too; just look at this headline, ‘Miss Lillian Daniels, greatest living Mandolin- ist, who will play in New York this spring.’ ” “Who’d o’thought it,” said Ernest, ' but then considering the way she used to play in chapel, it’s not so wonderful after all. Clara had been peeping over Broadus ’ shoulder, and suddenly she cried, “Guess what’s the latest about the class beauty in old ' 13; just hear this: ‘Miss Virginia Gardner in her brilliant revival of Chanticleer to appear in London next fall. All the scenery for this great production to be painted by the famous artist, Miss Kate Ray. ’ Think of it; hurrah for both of them, ’ she went on “but I want to tell you about Mary Beall. She’s a missionary to Korea; I just received a letter from her the other day and she says she ' s converted a hundred and fifty people. “Humph” remarked Ernest. “1 bet they were all men.” Clara turned to me. “Turn about’s fair play,” she said. “Now you tell me about Harold Schiffman, Mary Silver, Hugh Wolfe and Alice Poole.” “That’s easy,” I answered, “Harold is now the most prominent bank- 48 T HE EEPLECT 0 R Vol. V. er in Greensboro, and he’s also an investor in metals; they say his best in¬ vestment was in Silver. Hugh is North Carolina’s attorney-general, and Alice, despite her one-time flirtatious abilities has become a man hater and now conducts an establishment known as the ‘Bachelor Girls Tea Room. ' “It’s a wonder she didn’t do what so many of our old classmates are doing,’’ said Broadus. “Did you know that five of us are teachers. Flossie Kersey is President of Vassar. Louise Hogshead and Kate Hunt teach Mathematics and English there, and Etta Schiffman is in charge of the Domestic Science Department in one of our high schools. But the greatest surprise of all is Yonnie Ilicks; he occupies the Chair of Latin at Harvard, and they say his translation of ‘Cicero’ is a marvel. “I bet it is, Ernest remarked, sotto voco. “Well,” I put in, “Vonnie’s occupation may be surprising, but it’s no more wonderful than Robert Harris being a general.” “A general,” everyone exclaimed in unison. “Yes,” 1 replied, “he is in charge of this year’s fly campaign in Greensboro, and the Civic League conferred the title of general on him for his splendid work. But they say he gets all his ideas from Annie Hunter, who married him last leap year.” “Well, Robert’s not the only titled member of the ‘Old Guard,’” Ernest said, “there’s Senator John Wilson.” “John N. Wilson, Jr., you’d better say,” Clara laughlingly remarked, ■“and besides, there’s his wife, Emmie Witherspoon, who’s commander- in-chief of the suffragettes.” “Would you call ‘Editor’ a title,” inquired Broadus, as we rose to go, “because you know Margaret Shaffer and Pearl Rainey are joint editresses of the ‘Beauty Column’ of the Ladies Home Journal.” ‘ ‘ Do you know, ’ ’ I said as we were leaving, “ I’ve either seen or dis¬ cussed every member of our class today, except Eula Sapp. What has be¬ come of her?” “Oh, Eula’s in the limelight now,” Clara instantly answered, “she’s running for Mayor of Greensboro. I thought that every Greensborian knew that. “Well, Eula ' s always been a rival of mine,” I replied, “I think I’ll have to run against her.” “Good luck to you,” Broadus said. As Ernest and I stepped into the car, 1 shouted back, “Yes, and to all the other members of the Class of ’13, too.” a ju L C ajjuo c l 4-cxyyii.

History of Class of 1914. OUBTLESS to the eyes of a casual observer, the tenth grade would deserve only passing notice and even less credit. But there the stranger would be mistaken. In¬ stead of thirty-eight lazy girls and boys, this class is com¬ posed of the best and brightest pupils that can be found in the city. Truly we are not great, but we measure up well to the standard set by our Senior friends. Owing to the fact that we were somewhat later than usual in trans- fering those who were so unfortunate as to go back, we were sl ightly delayed in organizing the class. On January the twenty-third, 1913, however, this organization was effected. Since becoming firmly established the class has made steady progress and we here humbly submit the following record: We have furnished material for oue issue of the Sage, have read much more Latin than previous senior classes did in the tenth grade, and are more advanced in Geometry than any class has been before us. We are represented in the orchestra, two members were on the football eleven, and two with the baseball team; besides this we furnished two debaters for the triangular debate against Raleigh and Charlotte. About half of the class are members of the Glee Club, while all the boys belong to the Athletic Association. On March 7th. the annual reception to the Seniors was given in the High School. This proved to be a joyous occasion for teachers and pupils alike. Above all, even omitting that tendency toward studious habits, we are proud that we possess talent for singing, which has made us famous as “the singing class.” Seven worthy ones from our number have dropped along the wayside since the first of September when we began to march along life’s educational highways. Now for the coming year. Having left a good teacher and much work finished—though small in number—we hope to be great in wisdom. 1913 THE REFLECTOR oo The Man Who Wins A minute, please, ambitious boy, Take some advice from me; Don’t ever be the forward lad, But act with modesty. In battle it’s the man in front, Who’s first to fall you’ll find; But the captain gets the credit, ’Cause lie’s the man behind. It’s the man behind the telescope, Who ' s gazing at the stars; And the man behind the motor, Who runs our trolley cars. The Irishman ’s behind the joke, The sport’s behind the clothes; But the man who gets the money, Js the man behind the nose. There’s the haekman in his carriage, His business, sure, is fare; But he, the man behind the horse, Ts sure to get his share. The man behind the evening clothes, He goes to see the shove; He gets behind the latest hat, Down in the second row. He rushes to the lobby, For an interact cigar; But the man who gets his coin, Ts the man behind the bar. Down in the orchestra you’ll find A man behind the drum; And a man behind a clarionet, Stuck in behind his gum. And a man behind the warbling flute, One behind the big bassoon; But the man behind the baton, Is the man behind the tune. HUGH C. WOLFE, ’13, Prize Poem. T HE REFLECT 0 I Yol.

History of the Class of 1915 HEX the doors of the Greensboro High School were thrown open to seekers after knowledge for the fall term of 1912- T3, there were so many seeking it in the ninth grade that it became necessary for them to be divided into three parts. For two months after this everything progressed smoothly on the sea of education, and then came the first real test of our strength in the form of that dread mon¬ ster, the Bi-Monthly. This most fearful of all beasts seized five of our number in its octopus-like arms. Our number diminished by this migration of those who desired to take a post graduate course in the eighth grade. We were again divided, this time into two parts. These divisions served to unite the tried and true who had remained in the class, and to strengthen the belief which we had formed at the first of the year, that we were the best grade, bar none, in the whole High School. We have bravely borne up our part in athletics, having furnished the captain of the track team and several stars to the baseball and football teams. That division of the grade in room ten has organized, a thing never before attempted by any ninth grades who have preceded us. Satisfied that we have more class spirit than any other grade in school, and that we will break all high water records in the finals, we face them with hopeful hearts and highest expectations for our journey on the Sea of Vacation to the Harbor of Intermediate. There was a young student named Jack. Who, desire for study did lack. In his lessons, he failed. He’s now been detailed, To a vacant seat one grade back. 62 THE REFLECTOR Vol. V.

After first Bi-Monthly the grade was so increased that another division was made; and there are now four. With all our strength in numbers, we have little his¬ tory having been in the High School such a short while. This ye ar we furnished three members of the football team, three editors of the magazine, and three of the “Annual” editors. We also have a large class taking the business course. Although divided we hope to stand and make the “Class of 1916“ a credit to our patient teacher’s and our school. There was a young lady named Clara, Whose mind was exceedingly narrow. Nevertheless she could talk. And make boys “walk the chalk,” Whenever they happened near her. 60 T II E R SELECT 0 R Vol. V.

A Mountain Frail T WAS a bright June afternoon when Florence Tyler left her father’s pretty cottage among the mountains of North Carolina to go in search of rhododendron. Florence was a rather tall, graceful girl of sixteen. Although she was not exactly pretty she had an attractive face and one to lie remembered, with her large blue eyes and wavy black hair. She was the only child of the wealthy Mr. Tyler, and had spent all her summers as far back as she could remember in their mountain home. Now, as she climbed Old High Top with her basket and scis¬ sors each mountain in sight looked down upon her as a protecting friend.. On and on she climbed up the well known path, now gathering some rhododendron, and now stopping on some ledge to enjoy the view and watch Ihe light and shadow on the other mountains. She at last came to a cleared space near the summit from which she had a superb view. As she stood gazing she heard a startling Crash.” Wheeling around she saw a black cloud almost over the mountain, while from behind, great banks of clouds, were rolling up. What should she do ! If she stayed she would get drenched, yet if she descended the mountain she might slip and get badly hurt. As she hesitated a blinding flash came, followed by a deafening clap of thunder. She must get down as quickly as possible. Big drops of rain began to fall, coming faster and faster, and all the while it was getting darker and darker until she could no longer keep going hut stopped, clinging to a five. Trees crashed about her, thunder pealed, lightning flashed, a cold wind blew, and drenching rain soaked her to the skin. The darkness increased, but still the storm raged. At last, cold and stiff she decided that she must descend the mountain in some way. Down she went, half falling, half crawling, past se veral forks in the trail. Was it the darkness that made the way seem so unfamiliar? At last •she was at the very bottom, but-where was her father’s house? It was not to be seen. Then suddenly with a chilling sensation she realized that she was lost in the lonely mountains on a stormy night. She could not stay where she was, so on she dragged her weary limbs till all at once she TIIE REFLECTOR Yol. V. H saw a ligld sparkling among the trees. Here at last was help. So she hurried on eagerly. Soon she found herself at a little log cahin. .Just as she raised her hand to knock a voice inside arrested her attention. It was a coarse voice saying, “That’s all 1 have to say pards. but if those d- revenue officers fool around us, its bullets for them. We ' ll hide this machine and bury the kegs five, paces from the cypress tree. Don’t forget the place and mum’s the word.” After this there was a hoarse mumbling and cjuite a stirring around. Frightened, Florence drew back in the niche be¬ tween the chimney rocks and the cabin. There, sheltered from the wind, the rain having ceased, she waited, listening for more, but all was silent. At last overcome by fatigue she must have fallen asleep. She was aroused by a scraping noise mingled with curses and low mutterings . Drawing back still farther into the friendly niche she saw the dark figures of several men come out of the cabin. The clouds were grow¬ ing lighter above the mountains and Florence knew that it would soon be dawn. How was she to escape and tell the revenue officers of these terrible outlaws, (for such she felt them to be) ? As she was puzzling over this the men who had previously disappeared into the woods returned, and after a while they came out again, carring several heavy pieces of machinery. As they passed she heard one say, “yes, I guess we’d better hang around till tomorrow and then beat it before those-” the speaker pased out of hearing. Minutes passed and when the men did not return she crept stealthily out and looked about. She was stiff, cold and hungry, but determined to get away. She wondered if her father was searching for her. Suddenly a horse neighed and there, tied to a nearby tree, stood a saddled horse. Quick as a flash she stole to the tree, untied the horse and jumped on its back. Choosing the opposite direction from that in which the men had gone she whipped the horse and fairly flew down the trail. Florence at last arrived at a familiar little station where sat a sleepy telegraph agent. Her first question was, “Do you know where the revenue officers are?” “Wal, I spec’s they’s slept over to Old Man Bingham’s,” he managed to say between yawns. Hastening to “Old Man Bingham’s” she found three revenue officers to whom she told her story. Highly excited to find their hitherto futile efforts about to be rewarded with the capture of the most daring outlaws in the mountains, they asked her all about them and then made preparations for the capture. Florence, exhausted, sank on the ground in a faint. 1913 THE REFLECTOR 65 When she came to, Florence found herself lying in a clean cottage with a friendly looking woman bending over her. “They’ve telegraphed your father that you are safe,” she said, “and he’s coming over after you in his automobile.” Soon the newspapers were full of the news that “Miss Florence Tyler, a brave, daring girl brings about the capture of the Thomas gang, outlaws, moonshiners and counterfeiters.” Florence felt that her greatest reward was a few months later when the governor of the state stopped over at Summerville and asked to see Miss Florence Tyler. After chatting with her awhile he presented her with a handsome gold watch, engraved, “Presented to Miss Florence Tyler for bravery and heroic services to the state.” Then with a smile he added “and may there be no more moonshine in your life, but an abundance of sunshine. ” Adelaide Van Noppen, ’15, Prize Story A Pslam On School Lives of smart folks all remind me. 1 can be more than a fool, And departing leave behind me Records for the whole high school. Let me then be up and doing, Even though the way look dark, Still achieving, still pursuing, With a heart for any mark. With a spurt I’ll make a homer When old finals heave in sight. Yep, I’ll cop a li’l Diploma, Make a bow, and say “good night.’ What a nice nap I’ve been having. Graduate, eh! did I say? ’Twas a dream, a mere wild raving, Like all such, ’twill pass away.

During the terms of 1910-’ll, and T2, in addition to having many warm debates among ourselves, we furnished two of the four debaters to fight for the honor of our school in the triangular debates with Raleigh and Charlotte. This year we furnished three of the debaters for the inter-high school debate conducted by the State University. Although we lost the commencement debate last year, we intend to return the defeat this spring; and by so doing tie with our rivals, the Diaphesians, for the loving cup offered by the Alumni Association to the society winning two out of three debates. ' Phe work of the society this year has been especially good. The boys have taken great interest in the regular semi-monthly programs, and as a result, our superintendent has doubled the time allowed for the society meetings. We have used this extra time very profitably, by having our members deliver extemporaneous speeches on topics of current interest. Taken as a whole this has been one of the most successful years in the history of the society. Historian’ Triangular Debaters AFFIRMATIVE CHAS. MOORE, Phi. WILLIAM JOHNSON, Di.

History ot Diaphesian Debating Society Si TO the time when our society began, there is little need to give dates and ancient history. We began as a sepa¬ rate society in the spring of 1910, since which date we have constantly striven for one thing—perfection in de¬ bating. We are no believers in style, and there is no “infinite deal of class to our debaters, for we care more for presenting solid facts than in arraying said facts in dress suits and silk hats. Our record for past years shows that we have held up our end in the triangular debates, furnishing two debaters year before last, two last year, and one this year, who made up in brilliance for the one we lacked. More¬ over, we have one victory behind in the competition for the inter-society loving cup, to be given by the Alumni Association to the society winning two out of three debates. Our work this year has not been entirely satisfactory, owing to Bi- Monthlies and similar disturbances taking up our regular time of meeting but we have had many enjoyable debates and one mock trial, which our lawyers argued in the most approved style over the question of whether or not one of our members was sufficiently sane to be held responsible for at¬ tacking a fellow member and relieving him of the princely sum of two bits. Finally, while we are rather short on eminent society men, and have few of the Beau Brummels of the school, we have quite a number of persons prominent in other ways. One of our foremost members was Steward of Laziness in last year’s “What’s the Use of Working club, and another is president of the Sit and Argue” club, while the organization known as the “Sons of Rest is represented all over the Society. The principles of these organizations become very prominent at times, especially when some question is raised, for said presiding officer of S. and A.’s will “confute, change hands, and still confute for half an hour without even a pause for breath. But in all due seriousness, we feel that there is but one debate that is purely between the societies, and but one that w r e w r ish to win—the inter¬ society. Under the conditions given, we keep the cup if we win it this year, and every heart, soul and mind in the society is fixed upon that event.

The purpose of the McNeill is threefold: First, to cultivate a better appreciation of literature; second, to develope the minds and talents of the girls; third, to bring them in contact with one another and combine pleasure with work. At the beginning of the fall term the society was divided into four sec¬ tions, with a chairman in charge of each. The sections in turn have enter¬ tained, and as a different chairman is in charge each time, all the girls have served in this capacity. The programs have been very interesting and helpful and we have studied and enjoyed the works of many of the best authors, poets and musicians. The societies meet every two weeks, and at first they were given only the last forty-five minutes but later the last hour and a half has been allowed them. Of course, with the increased time we have been able to accomplish a greater amount of work. We have been exceedingly fortunate in the kind interest taken in the society by our teachers and have profited greatly by their excellent advice. Our officers have all discharged their duties well, proving themselves capable and efficient. Each time a marked improvement has been noticed in the program over the preceeding one, as we have attempted to do a little better each time. Thus we bring to a close a most profitable and pleasant year to all the members of the McNeill Literary Society. Mary S.

History of the Ionian Literary Society N THE fall of 1909 a large body of girls from the two high¬ est classes, met in the auditorium of the Old G. H. S. and were united into one large body known as the McNeill Literary Society. This organization continued for a year, when in the fall of 1910, it was decided to divide the so¬ ciety, and the new division was called the “Ionian Liter¬ ary Society. The first meeting was held October 28, 1910, and there we chose black and gold as our colei’s, and “Aude Supere” (dare to be wise) as our motto. Although the last society organized, we were not the least and we started to work with three objects in view: First, to cultivate a greater appreciation of literature; second, to enable the members to express their thoughts more intelligently; and lastly, to increase the social spirit of the members. Usually there are from eight to twelve girls on a program with one girl as their leader. The girls who assume the leadership have put forth their best effort each time to render the program original and attractive and so far they have succeeded. The program is usually composed of read¬ ings, recitations, instrumental and vocal solos, debates and dialogues, which are taken from the works of the best authors. Our meetings are always interesting, and a marked appreciation of good literature has already been shown by the members Since our organization in 1910 we have broadened our work and we now stand on the same basis as our “Mother Society” the McNeill. Each year increases our membership and now, at the end of its third year, the Ionian Society stands as one of the foremost high school literary societies in North Carolina. Annie Fred Foushee, Historian 1913 T IIE REPLEC T 0 R 85 Woman’s Rights ADIES, 1 wish first to ask such of you as are not enlisted in our glorious cause, why you believe that women should not have the ballot? Is it because you consider woman man’s mental inferior? Impossible. Our sisters in Eng¬ land have already disapproved this theory, for what man would have the ingenuity to advertise his political party by smashing windows and crowning prime ministers with wreaths of brick-bats. You say that women would not purify politics? If women ruled the land the polls would be decorated with ribbon and the ballots edged with lace, under which circumstances the voting must inevitably be pure. You say that women, too, would buy votes. I emphati¬ cally deny this. A woman will not buy anything unless she can get trading stamps with it. You say that woman’s proper place is the home. If men chose to consider home their proper place there would be far less free-for-all family fights and caresses with rolling pins. You say that a woman would not vote intelligently. It is my opinion that a man who votes a certain ticket because his father and grandfather did so stands in need of a lesson in intelligent voting himself. Yet there are thousands of such voters today. You probably believe that a woman would be lost in the complex maze of polities. Once more you are wrong. Any woman who can figure out how to get a number five foot into a number three shoe isn’t going to let a little thing like politics bluff her. Finally 1 wish to know what men have done for politics that they should not be displaced by women ? They have created nothing but grafting ( ' ongressmen, political machines and incurable hot air artists. How long will a woman be content to be a meal ticket for a professional loafer because he came courting her with a box of candy and a three-for-a- quarter smile. How long will it be before all the women will leave their husbands at home to wash the dishes and mind the baby while they go forth to battle for political equality with the sex that has always been their inferior in mind, morals and continuous discourse.

We are all ready to praise them after we leave school; so too are we willing to praise a man after he is THE REFLECTOR 87 1913 dead. For our part we would prefer our praise while we are alive, for after that it wouldn’t make any difference; and on the same principle, we are sure our teachers would rather have their bouquets thrown now, while they are with us. For they are only human, after all, and a few little friendly attentions serve well to brighten the dark spots of toil that is irksome at best. As “it is not all of fishing to fish, so is it not all of education to study. If after he left the High School, one of onr number were to forget completely Education. the history, chemistry, mathematics, and other subjects he has learned, he would still have gained much by his school life. For he would show no self-consciousness at social gatherings, having learned during the four years that the gentler sex are not such objects of fear after all. He would be able to make an interesting public speech, because of his experience in debating. But above all he would know how to render obedience to those in authority and to preserve a proper re¬ lation with his equals. If one has learned these things well it cannot be said that he has spent four years to no advan¬ tage. Verily, he is like unto a gourd which hath a fair ex¬ terior. but when shaken giveth warning of the emptiness within.

A cat is not always willing to engage in combat, and in order to witness this warlike contest the combatants must be stirred up. As we all know cats keenly resent insults or injuries, and if one cat steals another’s milk, or any other sustenance or in any way provokes him, lie immediately swears revenge and sometime in the near future one of the two cats is des¬ tined to lose hair, tail, ea r, or probably his very existence. So much for cat temper. In order to see a fight unequaled in activities and results, two big tom¬ cats’ tails must be tied together and thrown over a rope or wire. This I tried with great success. At first the cats suspended in mid-air were not inclined to battle. They were hanging back to back and knew not that another kitty’s tail was connected with theirs and that that fuzzy thing rubbing against their backs was another cat, so they kept quiet, trying to recover their senses and get their bearings. 1 began to lose hope so I shook the wire, and in so doing I shook the cats face to face. In the eyes and faces of those feline articles one could see years of pent-up hatred coming to a climax. All cats preparing for battle hoist their tails and then start the conflict. These cats tried to hoist those warlike signs of battle, but in vain, for those tails were destined to stick together in close proximity to the clothes wire. As it was, the first symptoms of the coming skirmish were contained in low growls or “meows” by both cats; then they both began liissing and as some people say they “spit;” but believe me, if those cats had been “spitting” they both would have been drowned, and 1 also would have succumbed to the flood; for such hissing and “spitting” was never before heard, seen, or thought of. Then one Thomas struck out his paw with lightning speed and it came in contact with the other cat’s optic. By this time both cat’s tempers were up. and in an instant where there had been two black sleek Thomasas there was, you might say, a whirling mass of cat— the human eye could not possibly determine whether there were one or six eats. From this whirling mass, tufts of hair and yells issued at regular intervals. As this was at its height a very unexpected thing happened. 90 THE REFLECTOI Vol. V. The cord which had held the cat’s tails together was not. very strong and as a result it now broke and the fighting cats came in violent contact with mother earth. This however, made no difference to them: they still fought, and in so doing still further punished mother earth on which they had landed so unexpectedly. Throwing dirt, howling and hissing they kept at it. But soon one of the combatants decided that he was being treated a little too roughly so he deserted the enemy and fled. From what had seemed one mass two forms rushed across the yard, one cat a little in the rear of the other. The last of the tight, for it was fought to the hitter end, as cat-fights usually are. was enacted elsewhere. As 1 have said before cats are liable to depart from this life in a tight, so it was in this case. In this battle which lasted about fifteen short minutes, a cat’s life, contrary to the fifth commandment, was snuffed out. This statement 1 can verify by showing the doubting one the last resting place of an animal which goes by the name of Cat. Alec Malloy, ' 14, Prize Story.

Athletic Association was first organized and first became a vital institution of the high school in 1906. From that time until now it has played an all-important part in our school-life, representing as it has, the best in athletics. It stands for physical development as a com¬ plement to intellectual development. The modern belief that a strong body must inevitably help to make a strong mind is imbedded deeply in the ideals of this organization. In other words, its purpose is the making of men, who, when they go out from the high school, may be worthy representatives, not only intellectually, but physi¬ cally of the G. H. S. Thus the Athletic Association has not only helped the student body, but it has come to he looked upon as an essential component of the life of that student body. For this reason it has grown and devel¬ oped year by year as no other organization in the high school ever has. Its worthy efforts have been appreciated especially by the boys who have supported it zealously and who have given it a real cause for existence by producing in almost every instance successful athletic teams. But it does not exist only for the development of the physical man. It is one of those agents which has brought together in a closer union the boys of the high school. The old adage, “ In Union There is Strength” could well be used for its motto. By a closer union, it has become a working power for the progress of old G. IT. S. Here’s hoping that the Athletic Association will always be an important factor in the success of the Greensboro High School. MISS M A KY GKIMSLE V Sponsor Athletic Association 514 THE REFLECT 0 R Vol. V. HE season of 1! 12 in football circles was probably the most disastrous in the history of G. II. S. The period was marked by disaster after disaster in connection with the football team. Some of the best players were eliminated on account of low marks in studies; for many reasons, the practices of the team were irregular; obstacle after ob¬ stacle placed itself in the path of football success. Per¬ haps the greatest handicap to the team was the lack of a permanent football coach, a lack which was clearly shown in after games. Five games were played, of which two were won and three were lost. Never before has a football team representing the high school, been defeated in a majority of its games. The spirit of athletics was dampened. Let us hope that the football season of 1913 will be the antithesis of that of 1912.

L. 1913 THE REFLECTOR 109 Social Events Although no fault is to be found with the quantity, the quality of the O. II. S. social events is the distinguishing feature. When the Danville football team had finished its evening meal in Greensboro, its members were made guests of honor at a reception given in the home of Judge Spencer Adams. Miss Gena Adams receiving at the front door, made one and all feel at home immediately upon their arrival. The younger set of Greensboro entertained the visitors by dancing with them, and by feeding them hot-air or ice-cream, endeavoring to fulfill the- saying “each to his taste.” After a strenuous game, the Raleigh High School boys were also given a reception; Misses Margaret and Pauline Justice acting as hostesses with Messrs. Flick and Wineeoff of the G. FI. S. Faculty as chaperones. Very- little dancing was done on this occasion but the porch proved to be a place of popular amusement and the more courageous visitors, along with the young gentlemen of the city, entertained themselves and their friends by talking. The event of the season, however, was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs, R. (1. Vaughn; Miss Jospehine Vaughn, gowned in red crepe de chine, playing the part of hostess to the Wilmington boys. These young gentle¬ men, having spent two days in the city, met a number of the young ladies and all of them were in no way affected by bashfulness and were also greatly interested in the art of dancing. Accordingly the time passed all too quickly, and the Greensboro girls at least, were unpleasantly surprised !o learn that the guests of honor had to depart from the city at one-thirty. After a long interval, although social life had not been extinct in the meanwhile, the High School again began to participate in frivolous affairs, starting out in the spring by entertaining the Charlotte debaters at the home of Miss Eula Sapp. The faculty, the debaters, the senior class, and the 110 THE REFLECTOR Vol. V. marshals were the only members of the High School fortunate enough to attend. A very delightful evening was spent by the “home folks,” and if the polite words of the visitors, Mr. King and Mr. Dooley, can he believed, the representatives from Charlotte also enjoyed themselves. On February 20, 1913, the Class of 1914 entertained the Seniors. The High School was artistically decorated and at the front door stood the re¬ ceiving line, consisting of Miss Ethel NeSmith. Pres. Eugene Foushee, Mi 1 . Woodrow Clarke, Mr. Roland McClamroeh, and Misses Grimsley and Jus¬ tice. A well-rendered musical program was given in the chapel by talented members of the tenth grade. At its conclusion, the guests adjourned to the second floor, which was decorated in an artistic manner, and made an at¬ tractive background for the gathering of teachers and pupils. Delicious refreshments were served and the Class of 1914 felt deeply grateful at the close of the evening for the expressions of appreciation from the Seniors. On March 22, 1913, Miss Josephine Vaughn was again a charming hos¬ tess, this function being the first baseball reception of the season. The Durham High School hoys were the guests of the evening. The time was pleasantly spent in dancing, varied by lively conversation, although the refreshments contributed no small amount of pleasure. No members of the faculty were present but all who attended enjoyed themselves immensely. GREENSBORO vs. CHARLOTTE On the evening of February 21, 1913, one side of the triangular debate between Charlotte, Raleigh and Greensboro was held in the chapel of the Greensboro High School. The query was “Resolved that Woman ' s Suffrage Should be Adopted in North Carolina.” The affirmative was upheld by Charles Moore and William Johnson of Greensboro, and the negative by Charles B. King, Jr., and George Dooley of Charlotte. A good fight was put up by our debaters, but the judges Messrs. Vaughn, Scales and Clark, decided unanimously in favor of Charlotte. However, the defeat was les¬ sened by the fact that the affirmative seemed to be the weaker side, as in all three places the negative speakers were victorious. 1913 THE REFLECTOR 111 GREENSBORO—RALEIGII I)EBATE. There has always been great rivalry between the Greensboro and Raleigh High Schools, not only in athletics, but in debating. ’Tis sad but true that out of six debates Raleigh has been victorious four times. For the last two years, the Greensboro debaters have met defeat, so naturally the outcome of the struggle this year was awaited with the keenest interest. This year our debaters won a unanimous victory over their opponents and the only excuse that can he given is “There was too much Wilson for Raleigh. LYCEUM COURSE The High School has been unusually fortunate in having secured a number of excellent star-course attractions. The chapel of the High School serves as the entertainment hall and the several performers have been of world wide celebrity. During the first week of March, Misses Millicent Fisher and Mary Grimsley sang a lovely duet, and Miss Lillian Merrimon gave a piano selec¬ tion. Miss Lillian Daniels has entertained us twice with mandolin solos, and Malcolm Angel, elocutionist, recited one of Joel Chandler Harris’ Uncle Remus stories. Two mosquito lectures have recently been delivered to the student body of the High School by Dr. J. L. Mann. These scientific talks pertained to the life and habits of our well known friend, and if heed be paid to the words and warnings of the speaker, much suffering will be avoided. THE REFLECT OK Vol. V. 112 Life Is What “U” Make It H. C. W., ’13. Hustle, and fortune awaits “U, ” Shirk, and defeat is sure. For there is no chance Of deliverance For the one who can’t endure. Sing, and the world’s harmonious, Grumble, and all goes wrong, And all the time “LT” ’re out of rhyme, With the busy hustling throng. Sigh, and “U” sigh alone; Work, and the victory’s won, ’Cause the working man. With ambition can, By nothing be outdone. Don’t kick ’cause “F’’ have troubles. But whistle, and life is gay; And the world’s in tune Like a day in June, And our troubles melt away. Don ' t growl, ’cause the way looks dreary, Just laugh, and the path seems bright, For a welcome smile Brings sunshine, while A frown shuts out the light. — Sage. 1913 THE REFLECTOR 113 Alumni Association Greensboro High School HE Alumni Association, with almost the same personnel of officers as last year, is still in a quiet way, trying to make itself felt in the life of the High School. The cup offered a year ago to the boys debating socie¬ ties, is still to be contested for, and the set of books has again been offered to the girls societies for the best short story to be published in the Annual. The association has held another meeting since the last publication •of this Annual, and is now getting in readiness for the biggest and best, which will be held during commencement week. Committees have been at work, and by the time you read this, all will be in readiness for the best meeting the association has ever held. OFFICERS. Allan T.

I brung it.” Miss Jordan: “Edward, describe a tidal wave briefly.” Edward: “it is rather moist.” Lanette: “Mr. Koontz, is ‘love’ an abstract noun?” Mr. Koontz: “No.” Lanette: “AVell, you can feel it.” Mr. Koontz: “I guess you have had more experience than the rest of us. Miss NeSmith: “William, how much time did you put on today’s lesson?” William: “Well, not much over an hour.” Miss NeSmith: “About how much under an hour?” William: “About forty-five minutes.” Alex: “I’m cold. My hand trembles so that I shake ink all over my paper.” Marcus: “That’s nothing. A fly is skating on my ink.” Miss Sutton: “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.” Voice from rear: “Feed him dry bran and start pumping.” 122 THE REFLECTOR Vol. V. Miss Jordan: “Wilbur, how many seas can you name?” Wilbur: “Mediterranean and G. F.” Blanche: “Mr. Winecoff, are you married?” Mr. Winecoff: “Blanche, if you want to speak to me on such questions you will have to come to me after school.” Miss Howard: “Well, well, can’t multiply 144 by 198! I ' m sure Charles can do it quickly.” Sumner: “Shouldn’t be surprised. They say fools multiply very fast these days.” “Frank,” asked the teacher, ”What country is opposite us?” 1 ‘ Don’t know. ’ ’ “Well,” continued the teacher, “If I were to bore a hole through the earth, where would I come out?” “Out of the hole,” Frank replied with triumph. O! EDUCATION “Jim, it seems to me dat you’s puttin’ yo’ eddyeation to a mighty po’ use. You caint use no big words. If you is eddvcated 1 wants you to talk so I caint understand you. Now, Jim, what’s the big word for grasshopper?” “Orthropterous insect of the genus gryllus, according to Webster,” replied the young coon. Well, now, what’s de big word for goat.” “Mamniferous quadruped of the genus caprie, ” he answered. “But why did you go on saying goat, like a nigger, and bringing de tingle of embarrassment to yo’ daddy’s face. What did I gin you eddy- cation for, to talk like a po’ white man’s uneddycated son? Lessen ye bring credit on de family ye got to work, and stay here.

Did you ever notice that the car that does the best running makes the least noise about it. Go thou and do likewise. Verily, verily, I say unto thee, gaze not into the eyes of the sweet damsel beside thee when thou art driving, lest thy machine make a vain attempt to ascend a telegraph pole. In the old times it was said, “oil and water won ' t mix.” Nowadays we see that alcohol and gasoline make a less congenial mixture, as well as a far more dangerous one. As a live dog is better than a dead lion, so is a live slowpoke better 1 hail a dead speeder.

Cities and fields 1 walk,—I penetrate Deserts and seas remote, and passing by Hovel and mart and palace, soon or late- I knock, unb.dden, once at every gate. If sleeping, wake, if feasting, rise Before I turn away. It is the hour ot fate. And they who follow me reach every state Mortals desire, and conquer every toe Save death. But they who doubt or hesitate,- Condemned to failure, penury and woe,— Seek me in vain, and uselessly implore. I answer not and return no more. Phis famous sonnet by Hon. John |. ' Ingalls, orator and statesman, may be speaking to you. For ten years the Southern I fife Trust Company has been “The Pilot’ ’,—each new year surpass¬ ing the last in volume of business produced, and holding the record for dividends.
