iRKKXSRORO HK.H SCHOOL Our Jflag Oh glorious flag of freedom, Our country’s flag, our pride; To Thee our homage do we pay, All others do we chide. A leader to our nation Thou, A light unto our path, The foremost one in every fight, No other flag thy merits hath. Old Glory; our emblem of freedom, of peace, Of a nation who honors thee: Whose patriotism will not be suppressed When thy image, Old Glory, we see. Through many a long and bitter strife, Through the battle’s din thous’t led; And many a soldier for tnee, Our flag, His own life blood has shed. So lead us on, Oh flag of ours In the future as in the past, And our nation will ever follow thee, Shall follow thee till the last. B.

J. L. MANN 5 ®r. 5-1. iilann For six years, Greensboro was fortunate in having as City Superintendent of Schools, Dr. James L. Mann, of South Carolina—a teacher of sound scholar¬ ship, wide experience, and n ational reputation. It would be superfluous to recall to students of the Greensboro High School his record as Superintendent or to remind them of the many improvements made in the system during his adminis¬ tration. They remember well the pride with which they entered the new high school building; they look back and count the numerous grammar schools that have been built one by one in all parts of the city; they tell visiting debating teams, with perhaps some arrogance, that our high school graduates are now admitted without condition to the best colleges of the South, and that those students are winning honors in the colleges to which they have gone,—and they naturally feel that a large part of this glory belongs to the man who laid the foundations and directed the work in Greensboro. Dr. Mann ' s personal influence in the high school will long be felt, and his daily visits, a point of contact between him and the student body, will always be missed. We shall never forget those masterly orations in the chapel, those out¬ bursts of scathing sarcasm against the folly of our generation, those unsparing phillipics against the lawless youth of our school, those humorous pictures of American life that made chapel an occasion, or those more serious talks that made it the most important part of the day. When a busy superintendent finds time to talk with the students here and there, when he takes the trouble to know by name each of the five thousand children in his system, when he makes their interests his interests, and his time their time, he becomes in effect not merely a director but also a part of the system under his supervision. Such was Dr. Mann. Clean-cut in his opinions, just in his requirements, de¬ cisive in his administration, friendly in his bearing. One needs only to listen to realize the feeling that still exists for him in the Greensboro High School. It is for this reason that we are trying to show our loyalty and appreciation of his services in dedicating to him this volume of the Reflector. 6 View of Building ..

He is by far the most popular boy in G. H. S. with both sexes. Everything is a “crip” to Bevens. It looks as if he will make one of the highest averages in the class this year and everybody will be glad to see him do so. You can depend on Lewis for anything; his word is his bond. The hearty wish from every person that knows him is that he will be able to do just what he wants to do in life, and success may follow his every attempt.

Fannie Sue left the Normal High School this year that she might embark on the ship ’17 for the last long journey. Though she has been with us for so short a time yet she, too, has taken her place with the rest. She is always in a good humor and a friendly smile ever displays some very beautiful white teeth. Athletic Association ' 16, ' 17 : ’17. Glee Club ’16, HAROLD EUGENE PUGH, Dl. “Kind hearts are mare than coronets.” Age 17; Weight 133; Height 5 ft 7% in. Leave the “h” off of Pugh and you have “Pug.” Everybody knows him by this name. He is good natured, but once you get his fighting blood up, then watch out for “Pug.” He usuallj ' knows his lessons even if he does have to go through quite a process before he gets the answer. When the class is especially quiet it is always Pug’s luck to recite and he always gives us a good laugh before he has finished but that perfectly good hundred goes down in the grade book just the same.

Earle was voted the best all round boy in the Senior class, and justly does he deserve this honor. No matter in what he is concerned you will al¬ ways find him the moving spirit in it, ever giving his best. The earnest¬ ness and zeal with which he goes at every¬ thing from rooting to playing the part of a most ardent admirer can not be sur¬ passed. Along with rooting goes talking which is this individual’s long suit. He can with ease amuse the “cradle” and with even less difficulty win favor in the sight of many a parent of the fair sex. To this can be attributed his ability to secure “school night” dates where others are re¬ jected. With all these attractions no won¬ der Earle’s friends are innumerable. Monitor Phi.

Jean has been elected the most attractive girl in the class and this honor comes to whom it is due. She is esteemed by her teachers for her splendid qualities and brilliant mind. As an example of splendid girlhood she has been an inspiration to all her classmates. In promoting our High School spirit she has been an important factor on account of her faithful and con¬ scientious work and by giving her time and talents in aiding the advancement of what¬ ever pertained to the good of all. Beloved by her classmates! Unconscious of all her charms! The embodiment of modesty! Bonnie Jean! (By a Classmate).

Margaret is our business head and has for this reason been elected “Biggest Boss.” She tends to the petty worries and cares that accompany all “receptions” so as to leave the hostess calm and all serene. She is a strong asset to every organization of which she is a member and so has been in the Class of ' 17. There is no girl in the High School who can excel Margaret in the spirit which she has manifested during her High School career.

The boys of the class gave her this name though and they are the ones to know. Elizabeth is simply crazy about Winston. Whenever the subject’s mentioned her heart begins to go pit-a-pat. However when she comes face to face with them, as when Winston plays Greensboro football, she is ™° r f, l oya ' t0 G. H. S. than the most loyal. _pis is one of the most lovable girls at G.

OSCAR ALBERT BOYST, Dl. “Women or fools must like him or he dies. Age 19; Weight 133; Height 5 ft. 6 in. Ever since Oscar was in the eighth grade he has helped to create the spirit of the school. It would be hard to find anyone who has the interest of old G. H. S. closer to his heart than has Oscar. He is very obliging and will work his head off on any plan just so it’s a good one. He was chosen the biggest sport of the class. The girls usually like to have him around since he’s sure to have concealed in some of his pockets, either candy or chewing gum.

Variety is the spice of life” and so is “Pinkie.” We don’t know how we got along without her during the two years she spent at Salem but we found that the old saying goes, “Absence makes the heart grow fonder.” Her sparkling eyes and ready wit attract and stir the hearts of the boys. Margaret is truly ' loved by every member of the Senior Class. In some way, unknown to us, she managed to ac- cpiire the epithet of “Class Flirt.” ELIZABETH ESTHER CLEGG, 10. “Her modest looks the cottage might adorn, Sweet as the primrose peeps beneath the thorn.” Age 18; Weight 110; Height 5 FT. 7 in. Elizabeth is a lovely girl with rosy cheeks, soft brown hair, and lustrous eyes. It is rather hard to know her because she is very particular to whom she talks. She does not often recite but when she does, knows just what she’s talking about and gets good grades accordingly. She was elected the most dignified girl of the Senior Class. ALICE MAUDE JOHNSTON, IO. “Her pencil drew whate’er her soul de¬ signed, And of the happy draught surpassed the image in her mind.” Age 19; Weight 105; Height 5 ft. 5 in. What would we have done without Alice Maude? You may answer if you can. She made the “Sage” with her sketches and has helped to make the Reflector” in like man¬ ner. With untiring zeal and true devotion to duty she has labored for her class and for her school. Nor does all this extra work check her progress in her studies. A teacher is very much surprised when he catches Alice Maude napping.

He can even make Mr. Rogers laugh. Very meek and mild looking is he but there’s no trouble or mis¬ chief to which “Bob” is not a party. It is this kind of boy who usually has the sense and so it is in this case. Bob is as bright as bright can be and when he doesn’t hide this quality succeeds in making very high marks. Monitor Di.

You never see her unless she is either reading a long epistle or very ener¬ getically writing one. She is very fond of Guilford and saunters out on every occa¬ sion. Myrtle is truly blessed with good temper and good times. She enjoys life to the fullest and drinks her cup “running over.” Press Reporter McN.

Her air, her manners, all zvho saw ad¬ mired .” Age 18; Weight 130; Height 5 ft. 10 in. Eugenia is a “friend” to all and she cer¬ tainly has won a host of friends for her¬ self. She is the kind of girl who always has a kind word for others and who is al¬ ways willing to help someone else. What more could be wanted by anyone than to hold such a place as she holds in the hearts of her schoolmates and teachers?

Relaxed in frame, but firm of tongue” Age 19; Weight 130; Height 5 ft. 11 in. “Solomon” is one of the boys who has helped to make the Senior Class what it is. Though he is not athletic he makes up for it in loyalty and in debating. Debat¬ ing is truly his strong forte. For the third time this year he again held his place as Triangular Debater. He is an orator, not afraid to say what he thinks, but sure to think what he says. It is not necessary for Willard to get extraordinary marks when in this more effective way he shows his broad and strong mind. Willard likes the ladies and has won from them the title of “heart-smasher.” Class Orator ’17; Triangular Debater ’ ’17; First Censor Di.

Arnold always answers up to every test for a real gentleman. Perhaps this is the reason he has been elected the most con¬ ceited boy in the class. He is very bright and with a little studying could be bril¬ liant. He is a good history student and fairly amazes us with his knowledge when he has happened to study his geometry. Arnold is a most likeable boy. Treasurer Phi. Society T5; Vice-President Phi. Society ' 17 ; Phi. Basketball T6, T7; Phi.

Henrietta has an extraordinary mind which has been sharpened and polished by much practice. She can argue and argue well on almost any subject.

BONNIE HOWARD “Books! ’tis a dull and endless strife’’ “My heart is true as steel Age 19; Weight ISO; Height 5 ft. 8% in. Age 17; Weight 114; Height S ft. 2 in. A source of delight to Madonna is the right to flare up once in a while and vent her wrath on some unsuspecting and un¬ offending party. Soon though she is as cool as a cucumber and will be as good as good can be. Madonna takes the prize when it comes to being a good cook. Not only does she know the theory but is also blessed with the practical knowledge so hard to find. She is a mighty good friend. Just to see Bonnie you would think her very quiet and dignified. She is quiet but after knowing her for a very short while and seeing deeper than the surface you find her to be jolly and full of fun. Bon¬ nie has a heart of gold. Strange to say you never find her frowning. Her face is either calm and peaceful, or broken in wreaths of smiles. It does you good to know a girl of this type. LILIAN CORINNE JUSTICE, McN. “They mocked thee for too much curiosity Age 17 ; Weight 135 ; Height- Corinne went to Salem in 1914 but mem¬ ories were so sweet and ties so dear that she was compelled to come back this year to finish up with her old class. Everybody was glad to welcome her back and she has added joy and life to each succeeding day. When Corinne studies she is brilliant and can almost equal Frances in translating Vergil. Also she can roll those brown eyes and is altogether very coquettish. Glee Club ’15; Girls’ Athletic Association T7; Member K. D. K. Club ENOCH LAFAYETTE STAMEY, JR. Dl. “A fool, with more of wit than half man¬ kind. Too rash for thought, for action too refin’d. Age 18; Weight 140; Height 5 ft. 8 in. During our Junior year we were com¬ pelled to do without Enoch but on his re¬ turn everybody took him right back into their hearts again. One of the scenes of the High School is Enoch sauntering along towards school at any time between ten and eleven as if he had plenty of time and had never been late in his life. He spends only about half of the time at school. Enoch is one of the best hearted, funniest boys in the class. He is very popular be¬ cause no one can resist him or his fun. This young man of ever wagging tongue was elected the “Biggest Talker” of the class. Member Athletic Association ’16, ’17; Mem¬ ber Football Squad ' 16, ' 17; First Censor Di.

A rare enthusiasm pervades and fills everything “Brownie” undertakes. No one can excel her in her ability as Editor-in- Chief of The Reflector, or as leader of the Rooters’ Club or anything else to which she aspires. Sparkling wit is one of her chief characteristics, winning for her many friends. She has been elected the most in¬ fluential member of the class and can truly say, “I am a part of all that 1 have met.” Monitor McN. Society 14; Critic McN. So¬ ciety 15; Marshal McN.

John has used his business head for the best of the High School and surely ob¬ serves the honor of being the most busi¬ ness-like. From a financial standpoint the “Sage” with John at its head came out “on top.” Chemistry is another one of his strong points, it being his pleasure to re¬ ceive nice round A’s every month. As class photographer John has certainly done his job well, as you will see by the group pic¬ tures. He’s almost always in a good hu¬ mor unless you fail to carry out some of his business principles such as not being on time with a contract.

He fears nothing and will try almost anything once. He is quite popular with both the boys and the girls although he shows us he hasn’t forgotten how to flirt especially when Dorothy comes around. He believes in enjoying himself at the expense of the teachers and usually gets the better end of the argument. Even though he does not study much he makes real good grades and is especially good on history and chemis¬ try. He is a good leader and we expect some day to see him a high officer of the Southern Railway Co. Football Team ' 16; Glee Club ' 16, ' 17; Vice- President Phi.

Cora takes the cake” when it comes to showing the visiting boys around. She is at all the receptions and always succeeds in having her share of the fun as well as in giving a good time to others, while she usually makes a number of hits. Cora thinks she is a great chemist and is al¬ ways bragging on this subject. She works with John Johnson so we can easily imagine where this vast store of knowledge comes from. It’s a good thing for any class to have a girl like Cora. We wouldn’t like to try to get along without her be¬ cause—Well this class hates to fail to do anything and it certainly would fail if it tried that. She was elected the “best dancer” from among the girls. Monitor Ionian ' 15; Girls’ Athletic Associa¬ tion ’16, ' 17; Glee Club ’15, ’16; Ionian Bas¬ ketball ’15; G. H. S. Basketball ’15. DUNCAN ALEXANDER WICKER, PHI. And still they gazed, and still the wonder grew, That one small head could carry all he knew.” Age 19; Weight 112; Height S ft. 7 in. Duncan is one of our dignified Seniors. Geometry is his long suit. He is very stu¬ dious and we can say without fear of con¬ tradiction that he is one of the brightest boys in our class. We expect him to make a real success in life for he has the de¬ termination to stick to a thing until he does it right. When the girls attempt to flirt with Duncan he always sees some¬ thing in the other part of the room that demands his attention. Press Reporter Phi Society ’17; Athletic As- sociation ’15, ’16, ’17. MARY LOGAN RAGLAND, 10. “Sagacious, bold, and turbulent of zvit” Age 17; Weight 122; Height 5 ft. 5 in. Mary is one of the brightest girls in the class. She literally shines in geometry. Originals which seem “white elephants” to others pass away into insignificance when her mind seeks the root of the matter. Mary has been a most valuable member of the Class of ’17. The teachers think she’s awfully good but to tell the truth she’s usually in the thick of the fun. However she received the honor of being the most studious girl in the class.

There¬ fore it takes some time to find the true extent of her greatness. We may not know it all yet. However we do know that she can excel anybody in the country (no exception to teachers) in translating Vergil, and Cicero. She knows construc¬ tions up-side down and seems to always have them at her tongue’s end. By glanc¬ ing over this year’s issues of The Sage you will also find her to be an artist and a poet.

Virginia has a good disposition but will not be stepped on; a strong sweet character, and a will of her own. Her originality adds to her other attractions.

When she comes mincing in with her bright little smile a young gentleman across the room tries his best to conceal his very evident admiration. Sarah is one of the best workers in the High School. No wonder she gets the honors since she can execute the offices so well. Though very small, when she tries, she can play basketball against the most skillful. For this reason and others she was elected the best athlete among the girls.

Class $ocm The Class of Nineteen Seventeen To all must say good-bye. But as we leave this school of learning Behind we leave a sigh. Four long years we’ve stood united Together we’ve tackled math. And worried o’er pages of Vergil Till our brains o’errun with wrath. We’ve studied many English books And history books galore; We’re glad to say, however, That these things are no more. But now these things are over, A new life is begun. The mileposts of our learning Have been conquered one by one. We thank our faithful teachers For assistance kind and true, Though we’ve dodged their questions often, We’ve tried their work to do. The motto we’ve chosen Is just simply B- 2 , So in all of our dealings We’ve tried to be fair. To the flower we chose We ever will rally, For there’s nothing so pure As the “Lily of the Valley.” FLETCHER RIDGE, T7 45 Class Jnstorp HAT is history? History is a record of the life of man. So shall this be a record of the High School life of the members of the Class of 1917. In September, 1913, our high school life began. It was then that the eighth grade and as there was such a large class it was necessary for it to be divided into four sections. The room teachers of the eighth grade were Miss Howard, Miss Alexander, Miss Michael, and Mr. Flick. Mr. Flick stayed with us only a short time and at his resignation Mr. Stanton was secured to take his place. This first year was a full one, for besides taking up new and exasperating studies, we had to become conversant with the ways of high school life. During the year we were usually very good but several in the class have memories of poetry which Mr. Williams required them to learn, and of copying the constitu¬ tion for Miss Michael, as punishment for small offences. Very little of real im¬ portance occurred in this year. We were very busy just learning to become a part of the great high school system with its manifold restrictions and liberties. In the early part of the next year our class was organized, officers elected, colors, flowers, and motto adopted. This year we numbered three sections, a German, Business, and a Classical Section. Each of the sections soon gained a reputation of its own. During the long, tiresome periods of this year we had two chief forms of amusement. One was our game of “pass it on” which perhaps sounds very unin¬ teresting ; but when overshoes, lunch baskets, pinches, and various other things are being passed rapidly around the room it takes only a short time to divert every mind from the lesson. The other was to pass around a paper telling every¬ one to either sneeze, cough, or stand at a stated time. Of course this performance always called forth a lecture from the teacher but anyway it broke the monotony of long and hard lessons. It was at the beginning of this our Sophomore year that we were allowed to join the Literary Societies and I am sure that not even the Seniors felt so important or so far above the eighth graders as we, the Sophomores, did. ■46 we entered We journeyed right joyfully through this year. Some studied hard, hut many were content to barely pass and a few failed even to make a passing grade, and so, much to our sorrow, several of our number did not go with us to the Junior class. At the beginning of our third year our number had diminished so much that there were only two divisions with Miss Sutton and Mr. Biser for teachers. We were allowed to choose between a classical and a modern language course and many very willingly abandoned Latin and took French or Spanish instead. In the earlv spring we entertained the Class of 1916 at a reception given in the home of one of our girls. This was a great success and provided a pleasant evening for Juniors as well as the Seniors. During this year also the girls bas¬ ketball team of the Junior class played a game against the ninth grade and another against the Seniors. Though we lost both games we attribute our de¬ feat to fate, for every member of our team was a skilled player. Several of our girls played on the High School basketball team. The president of the Girls Athletic Association and the manager and captain of the basketball team were chosen from our number. Neither were our boys lacking in athletic activities. Many of them won renown as athletes. Two of our boys were chosen as triangu¬ lar debaters and many of both the hoys and girls held offices in the literary socie¬ ties during the year. Having journeyed successfully through the first three years of high school, we in September, 1916, returned for our fourth year, thus acquiring that dis¬ tinguished name and position of Seniors. During the first half of the year we were all in one room, but it was a large class and the room crowded so we were divided into two sections with Miss Sutton and Miss Alexander as room teachers. This year we were glad to wel¬ come back to our class two members who attended school elsewhere last year. These were Corinne Justice and Enoch Stamey. The first thing we did as a class was to organize and elect our officers for the year. We also elected as our mascot Elizabeth Boyst. Many members of the class have taken an active part in athletics during the year. The president of the Girls Athletic Association, the manager and captain of the basketball team and the athletic sponsor were all Senior girls. Others have played on the High School team and the teams of the literary socie- 47 ties. Senior boys were elected as manager and captain of the High School bas¬ ketball team; captains of the society teams; captain of the football team; and manager of the baseball team. Friday, March 9, we celebrated as Senior Day. In one of the Senior rooms with windows, door, and transom tightly closed we, in much secrecy, made our plans. When the last bell rang on that Friday morning the Senior teachers sat in their regular places facing rows of empty seats. A few minutes after the other grades had gone to chapel they heard the tramp, tramp of many feet march¬ ing through the hall. This sound stopped, there was a second of silence, and the Senior yell reverberated through the building. The chapel doors were opened and the Senior class marched in, every one adorned with class colors and pennants. After chapel exercises were over we, led by our captain, Arnold Schiffman, marched out of school, around the building, and through the streets to Him street. Then we marched through Main street until we felt that the day had been sufficiently celebrated and then at 10 o’clock marched back to school and books. In the fall the Senior class was delightfully entertained by Misses Sarah Poole and Evangeline Brown at a Plallowe’en masquerade. As time passes on we may possibly forget the spooks, the fortune teller, the beautiful decorations, and delicious refreshments of that evening, but not one of us will ever, ever for¬ get that good time or the hostesses. Another reception given for the Seniors was a Washington’s Birthday affair, given by the Juniors. That evening was ideal and to the teachers and members of the Junior class we wish to extend our thanks for such a pleasant time. At the first sign of spring the Senior girls were filled with a desire to do something for somebody, and that somebody was no other than the boys of the class. And so the girls gave a banquet for the boys. There were good things to eat, good music, and good times; and both guests and hostesses enjoyed the occasion. In this manner we have spent four years of our life and during that time have become very deeply attached to G. H. S. As we go forth from this into a bigger, broader life we shall strive to make ourselves a credit to the High School that did so much to prepare us for that life. Alice Maude Johnson, Historian 48 jgattonal Hopaltp Jfirst HERE are many slogans which appear before the eyes of the public today. Many, but do we ever stop to consider one of the biggest, one of the broadest, one of the best—“National Loyalty hirst t It includes every other slogan which means good to the country and it rejects every other slogan which means harm to the country. Can we look back to the times of our forefathers? Then we see that spirit of loyalty and devotion to our land—the spirit which has made our country unconquerable, the spirit of determination to protect and courage to defend. It was just such a spirit that brought the great America safely through the Revolu¬ tion; it was this spirit which founded a government based on liberty, freedom; it was this spirit that caused men to lay their lives on their country’s altar as calmly as raising a hand. It w r as the spirit of true loyalty and devotion to the nation that made it possible for us to stand before the nations of the world, almost as an ideal. As one writer has said, “as a people we are grand in government, grand in prosperity, and grand in achievements.” But, ladies and gentlemen, great as we are in the world, grand as our government, prosperity, and achievements are, we can not hope to live as a nation unless we continue to have that same spirit of loyalty and devotion that has placed us where we are. Let us cherish it and honor it as sacred. For, indeed, it is sacred. And when we see the ever- increasing tendency to place other things above loyalty to God and nation, for we cannot be loyal to God and not to the nation, we fear for the grandness of our nation, our government, our prosperity, and our achievements. e must stop long enough to recover our loyalty in such a way that it will forever remain with us; we must preserve our national loyalty. Of course party loyalty is noble but what can it be when compared with loyalty to the nation? Shall we consider first a group of political leaders, and then the nation’s welfare? God grant that it may never be! And yet, we, the Ameri¬ can people, are fast approaching the tendency of party loyalty rather than national loyalty. Men in charge of our nation, to whatever party they may belong, owe it to the country to first consider its needs. And yet, political leaders throughout the land, of all parties, are forgetting the nation in their zeal and enthusiasm for 49 iheir party. Statesmen who realize a thing is not for the best interests of the country, will lend their support to it at the command of their party leaders. And are the statesmen to be blamed for all this? No. We, the people of the grand and great America demand that a statesman be true to his party or we will not support him ! We, the citizens of prosperous and wonderful America are bring ing destruction to our very doors. We are inviting dangerous strife and bitter feeling, we are actually dividing our country into desperate, determined, struggling factions, each ever striving to gain supremacy. And it must stop. e Americans must turn our hearts back to our country and away from factions. We must build again that old spirit of duty and loyalty and devotion to our country. We must not allow ourselves to forget the sacred sentiment which has made us an unconquerable nation. W T e “cherish the memory of those who gave their lives that the nation might live.” Then let us not forget that those heroes are “silent witnesses” to the value of national loyalty; that if it were possible for them to rise and speak to us that they would raise a warning voice against the selfish and, in fact, unpatriotic tendencies in the conduct of men today.” Let us renew our l oyalty and forever implant it in the hearts of our country so that our republic may forever live and forever remain unconquerable. Once again, let us realize that sacred loyalty which binds us together as a nation which stands for the liberty and freedom and best interests of its citizens. And how may this be done? By beginning with the coming citizens of America and implanting into their very souls the loyalty and devotion which shall never say die; by teaching them that our national emblem is to be honored and that it stands for what our country stands for, that our flag is an emblem of American rights and sentiments. When the time comes that every school in our land, regardless of size, shall float the American flag above its building; when this flag will be honored by every American boy and every American girl, and when the boys and girls of our land realize the value of American rights, when every man, woman, and child in this broad land is thrilled by the sight of the American flag, then, in reality, can we say that the slogan of our people is “Na¬ tional Loyalty First.” And 1 appeal to each and every one of you to help hasten the day when we can claim that wonderful slogan as the slogan of wonderful, prosperous America and when its interests shall once again be sacred. Wti.t.ard Rainey, ' 17 50 E, the Class of 1917, though divided in rooms, do stand united in solemnly realizing the end of our existence at G. H. S., and in order that such valuable possessions as we do now cherish may descend upon their rightful and responsible heirs, do draw up and sign this 11 and testament: Be it known that the aforesaid Senior class do declare this to be their last will and testament: Item I. To the next large and promising Senior Class we do bequeath : 1. The motto—“United you may stand but ‘they’ will divide you if they can.” 2. The privilege of being a shining example to the lower classmen in such things as dignity in the hall-ways and behavior in chapel. 3. The opportunity of testing their religion by striving to edit and leave to the world a full, vivid description of their behavior in the form of the Annual and Reflector. 4. e pass on all Senior privileges in a perfectly unused condition ac¬ companied by a large and powerful magnifying glass, and do most earnestly hope that the coming Seniors will be able to detect and interpret them better than we have. Item II. A few of our most striking and noticeable characteristics and belongings, we do bequeath to some of the most responsible of the incoming Seniors. 1. The dainty voice, blushes, and modesty of Elizabeth Clegg we bestow upon Kathryn Keith. 2. The noble form of Mary Wilson we leave to Allene Mitchell. 3. The headlight of our class, now owned by Doris Chappell, we bequeath to Marion Hunter, h oping she will light the pathway of the Class of 1918 in their noble pursuit of learning. 4. The privilege of passing around refreshments such as loud smelling gum, candy kisses, crystallized ginger, and Sparrow’s chocolates we leave to Ed- 52 -- -V- - 7 our last wi win Denny, hoping that he will keep the Class of 1918 as well supplied as Oscar Boyst has. 5. The tendency of Henrietta Beall, Bonnie Howard, and Flora Porter to occupy the seats under the teacher’s hovering wing we leave to Elizabeth Foust, Grace Forney, and Olive Chandley. 6. The thundering, silver-tongued, oratorical ability of Willard Rainey we bequeath to all self-inspired orators, chief among which we single out “Bill” Stout. 7. The “Dillar-a-Dollar-a-ten-o’clock scholar tendency of Ernest Broad¬ nax we leave to Clyde Brooks. 8. The artist’s talent of Alice Maude Johnson and Frances Rankin we bequeath to Gilmer Sherrill, and do most earnestly hope that if the privilege of drawing characteristic sketches of his fellow classmates falls upon him he will not bring down upon his cranium the undying hate of those fastidious ones that are offended if not sketched the “beauties” of the class. 9. The flirtatious disposition and sweet popularity of Margaret Thomp¬ son we leave to Emma Blake. 10.

S. will take the state championship in basketball, foot¬ ball. and baseball next year, we bequeath ungrudgingly the unexcelled ability of Lewis Schenck, “Hec” Clary, Harold Pugh and Leon Milton to Hob Cox, Claude Pearce, Hugh Armheld, and Burton Oakes.

(SIGNED) SENIOR CLASS Per Evangeline Brown 55 Class! g ong, 1917 The time for us to leave has come at last And our school work here has been clone. Our studies are o’er, otir tests are past, Still our life-work is just begun; But this is the time when we must leave The friends that we love so well, Though we’re leaving the school, we can not believe ’Tis time that we say farewell. We ne’er will forget the days spent here, Nor the battles we’ve fought and won We’ll be cheered by the thought of our class¬ mates dear, When recalled to us one by one, And we ne’er will forget in the passing years The joys that our schooldays brought, Good news we will e’er be glad to hear From the friends of whom we oft had thought. FLETCHER RIDGE, T7 56 Class JDropljecp EVEN short and uneventful years have elapsed since the Class of 1917 departed from old G. H. S. During these years I have learned in different ways how each of my classmates have fared in life. Some of them I have met and talked with at different times. Bon¬ nie Howard and Mozelle Sheppard are teachers at the State Normal College in Greensboro. Susie Hogshead and Barre Pritchett are both living in Greensboro and are stenographers in the largest firm in the city, The Rainey Co., owned by Willard Rainey. Myrtle Ashworth being disappointed in love, has become a noted surgeon. She performs expensive operations for those who are unable to pay for them. Mary Eouise Donnell and Alice Maude Johnson are teachers in old G. H. S. Sometimes 1 hear of three notorious suffragettes who cause much mischief. They are Bessie Mae Denny, Virginia Davis, and Eugenia Atkisson. These young ladies have done much to secure woman suffrage but as yet lHVe failed. Oscar Boyst has made a success in the candy business and has taken for wife, Elizabeth Clary. Jean McAlister and Flora Porter are on a tour of the world and are now in the Philippine Islands. 1 remember of meeting Cora Moore while she was on a v isit here. She has married Enoch Stanley and to¬ gether they own a large ranch way out in Arizona. Eldridge Clary is chief soda- jerker at Greensboro’s most popular drug store, which is owned by Harold Pugh. This may he a surprise to Hec’s friends but he has been heard to say that nothing would ever suit him better. Roberta Strudwick has been elected as a Senator from North Carolina through the influence of the present Governor, Hon. Wake- held Mowery. Some time ago I attended a musical concert given by Mary Hen¬ drix. Miss Hendrix has been abroad and has studied under several foreign teachers and is a very accomplished musician. She told me that Fannie Sue Donnell w ' as then abroad studying under the same teachers. |ohn Johnson is now a professor in chemistry at one of our large universities and has been cred¬ ited with discov ering several new elements. Madonna Grantham is the present Mayor of Greensboro and has for one of her commissioners Mary Ragland. Lewis Schenck is now serv ing a sentence in prison for hoboing. His time is up in about two years. Henry Jacobs owns a large clothing establishment and has prospered. Elizabeth Clegg is president of G. C. W. and has for two of her teachers Mozelle King and Lois Dodson. 58 Once while on a visit in Reidsville 1 came across Robert Pearce standing on a corner selling Saturday Evening Posts. Robert told me during our conversation about some of the classmates about whom 1 had not heard or met. He said that Mary Wilson and Marie Tessier had become Red Cross nurses and had been of service in the past war with Germany. Earl Rives had also distinguished him¬ self in this war by his brave and daring deeds as a member of the Aviation Corps. Irene Perkins has become an old maid and has secluded herself from all persons. Augusta Mienhart has made millions of dollars by her speculations in W all Street. She has many ardent suitors for her hand. Sarah Poole has founded an institution for homeless cats and she remains in this place never venturing out. I dropped into a theatre some time ago and was very much surprised when I recognized some of my classmates being shown in a News Review picture of the..most celebrated and talked of people in the United States. The first one to be shown that I recognized was the Secretary of Navy and his wife whom I could see were Arnold Schiffman and Margaret Stroud. The next was a picture of two missionaries to foreign countries. These missionaries were Doris Chap¬ pell and Frances Rankin. A picture of Corinne Justice was then shown. She was then suing for a divorce from her English husband, Lord Helpus. Henri¬ etta Beall was next shown surrounded by children of the East Side District ot New York. Miss Beall has devoted most of her time to charitable work in the poor districts. Two beautiful and well known movie stars were then shown shaking hands. They were Evangeline Brown and Margaret Thompson. In the next picture I recognized Leon Milton as the president of the Southern Electric Interurban Line. The electric lines of this company now extend all over the South due to the work of Mr. Milton. A view of the Secretary of Railroads and his assistant followed. The Secretary was Archer Shelton and his assistant was Duncan Wicker. The government now owns all the railroads despite the efforts of Mr Fletcher Ridge, the editor of a world wide magazine (and a weakly one it is), to defeat the bill instituting government ownership.

Did you know that Olive Van Revel had joined the Red Cross Society? This sentence fell upon the hearers like a German bomb in a French trench. “I have a note from her telling of her sudden decision. con¬ tinued pretty Elizabeth Richards the charming hostess of the Tuesday Evening Club. “Oh! Please tell us more about it, “When is she going?” “I expect she is going to war because she and Dick Manly agreed to disagree, were some of the numerous exclamations from the girls. “If you will please be quiet, I’ll tell you all 1 know.” ‘Ol’ leaves tomor¬ row on the ‘Wisonia’ for France to be a nurse, said Elizabeth as the noise quieted. “I really think myself that she is truly going away just to get out of this gossip about her probable marriage to Dick. You know she broke with him because she said she would never marry a man who was a complete idler. 1 ex¬ pect he has by this time proposed to another girl. It would be just like him,” con¬ cluded Elizabeth with a smile. “Oh ! how can she bear to see those men suffer like that, shuddered Mary Rowe. “I can ' t imagine Olive being a nurse. You would never think that she would give up her hobbies and pleasure in life to be a nurse,” commented another interested friend. It was truly queer, that Olive, the daughter of the wealthy bank president, Robert Van Revel, should choose the career of a nurse. It was Olive Van Revel that led all the social gayeties at Palm Beach, her dog kennels were known all over the world. She was a great sportsman. Her name was always seen con¬ nected with the charitie s of New York City. She was a very beautiful girl and 73 her charming manners attracted all. Her friends were of the rich and the poor. So this “social butterfly’’ was to become a nurse in France. Two months have passed since Olive has arrived in France. She had be¬ come one of the most loved nurses in an old cathedral hospital in the southern part of France. As she sat quietly at the table filling prescriptions for the sick, the old cathedral seemed to resound with the chants and songs of the priests and the people, who had once worshipped there. The stillness was broken once in awhile by the mourns of the sufferers. At these sounds, Olive quickly left her place and going from cot to cot tried to comfort and quiet the wounded sol¬ diers. Her friends would hardly have recognized her. She had changed so the plain white of the Red Cross Society gave her a softer, more womanly appear¬ ance and her face seemed fuller and sweeter. In a different part of France, a crowd of American ambulance drivers stood talking over experiences of the recent battle fought there while awaiting orders. Among them was Richard Manly, Jr., better known as Dick, “the Dare Devil,” the most popular driver in the service. He was a very handsome man as he stood there by his car, dressed in a rough suit of khaki, looking quite differ¬ ent from the popular young clubman and millionaire. His face, once expression¬ less, now was full of determination and will. “Manly, you are to leave immediately for the French lines. Take the route that goes by Foule,” said a messenger as he approached the group, break¬ ing up their talk. “Be very careful in turning those curves near Mewelly as you know they are very dangerous. Take all men to the cathedral and report there,” were the concluding orders. After a good look over his car he and his partner, “Jack,” left for their trip. “Good luck to you Dick. It’s getting pretty dark, you had better let her run slow tonight; you know you like to speed once in awhile as though you were on Riverside,” were the departing words given Dick. 74 They reached the French line without misfortune. Loading four wounded soldiers in the ambulance, they started at once for the old cathedral. The road was not a very good one, buried wood, parts of shells, twisted iron from shat¬ tered guns blocked their way. Soon Dick came to the curve so dreaded by the ambulance drivers. With every caution he began slowly taking the curve. With his skilful driving he got safely by. Suddenly as they were slowly driving along, the stillness was inter¬ rupted by a loud report which was recognized by all—a blowout. “Well, lack this is fine luck, isn’t it? I just fixed that tire before leaving camp. Come on and let’s fix her up in a hurry?” said Dick, and with a little air of unpleasantness he began busily changing the tire. He soon finished and they started to take their places in the car again. “Jack put that tool”— His sentence was interrupted by another explosion, louder than the first and coming from a very different source—a bomb. A large boulder was up¬ rooted from the ground which unfortunately for him knocked him down, crush¬ ing his knee. Soon he regamed consciousness and called out: “I’m alright; how about you old man?” But his voice appeared very weak and as though he was in pain. Jack hurried to his side, “Well! she nearly got us, didn ' t she? Why, Dick, you are hurt!” “Not much, help me into the car and I’ll be alright,” replied Dick. “Look here man, are you crazy; you can’t drive that car,” said Jack excitedly. “I’m going to drive her in. It is only two miles to the cathedral, so you may as well come and help the ‘old crip’ to his place.” Jack knew Dick too well. The determination in his voice meant business and without further argument, he did as Dick wished. ith grim will Dick put his hands on the wheel. He didn’t tell Jack that his knee was fractured but gently said: 75 Jack lend me your left leg for awhile, mine is a little out of commission. Please adjust those brakes for me.” Without any comment Jack worked the brakes. They slowly progressed, reaching the cathedral at midnight. The wounded were taken out quietly and quickly into the hospital. Dick did not move from his seat nor did he speak a word. Jack had really forgotten Dick, he was so busy getting the men into the hospital. After all the men had been taken in Jack remembered to ask, “Where is Dick?” Then quickly he called: “Doc, I wish you’d help me take Dick in. 1 think his knee is fractured or something like that; while fixing a tire up there near the cliff one of those bloom¬ ing bombs came and knocked a large boulder down on Dick. He wouldn ' t let me drive; you know how hard headed he is.” The two approached the ambulance. There sitting in the seat was Dick as white as death and unconscious. This man is hurt. Hurry and let’s get him in. Tell Miss Van Revel to have a cot ready and also a good mixture of plaster paris, were the instruc¬ tions given by the doctor. So Dick was placed in a cot along with the other wounded, without know¬ ing it. The first thing his eyes rested on when he gained consciousness was the familiar face of Olive Van Revel. It was she that had stayed by his cot during all his suffering. And now as he awoke the first words he uttered were: “Olive, dear, am I man enough to ask for you now?” With a nod of her pretty head, she put a thermometer into his mouth and said with a smile, “Excitement is the worst thing for you. Do not say another word.” Five months later the social world of New York was again surprised to hear of the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Manly, Jr., from the French border. 76 Bessie Denny, T7 jHeinones While we can ne’er recall them The four swift years that are passed; We know they have filled our gay young hearts With memories that must always last. Memories that even when old age comes And our trembling steps grow slow ; Will flood our souls till they are young again, And set our hearts aglow. Golden memories of the years we passed In dear old G. H. S. As we stand at the threshold of college days And the future on us pressed. So here’s to the days of dear old “High,” The days I know will be best; Till we reach the shore on the other side And find “eternal rest.” VIRGINIA DAVIS, T7 77 a s pi ONTY” Gilberts sauntered down the main street of Berlin, a nobby hat on his head, wearing a strictly English-cut suit, and swinging a gold-headed cane. “Oh ! I say,” drawled Monty to a portly German coming down the street, “Where is the University of Berlin?” “Vot?” asked the German indifferently. “The University of Berlin.” “Oh ! that iss down py dot horse, down there,” said he pointing, “You go down there.” “Thanks, old man ! ' Pon my word this is a dull place. I wonder what that crowd is doing down there.” Monty Gilberts was the son of a multi-millionaire munition manufacturer in the United States. He had just finished his tour of England and France and had adopted the English accent and manner, which was to prove the downfall. Monty approached a large crowd gathered around a small dilapidated building. As he drew near he noticed a large bill-board on which were posted notices. “What’s the trouble, sport?” he asked of a man. “War! War ! England’s declared war on us!” “What!” exclaimed Monty, “Then I won’t be able to get home!” He felt rapidly through his pockets. ’Pon my word, Pve lost my passports ! The German to whom he had spoken eyed him curiously. “Mine friend,” he said, “Are you an Englishman?” “Who ! me ! No, I’m an American but I’ve lost my passports !” “Sorry,” said the German laconically as he turned to a colleague and whis¬ pered, “You’ve got his number, shadow him, and keep him from getting passports or sending any message.” “Ay ! Ay!” returned the man and passed on. Monty was puzzled. “I guess I had better see the American Consul—and that reminds me, I must cable for some more money, I have only 400 marks.” He walked rapidly down the street, swinging his cane, and passed in front of building displaying the sign: “Cablegrams to all parts of the world.” “Eet me 78 see,” mused Monty, “I had better tell the folks I may have trouble getting back since this has occurred.” Monty entered the building ai.d hurriedly filled out a cablegram: “Mr. Malcom Gilberts, New York, N. Y., U. S. A. Forward 1200 marks; may have trouble getting back on account of conditions. Will cable later. Montgomery Gilberts.” He pushed it over the counter with a 50 mark note. The operator eyed him curiously and then read thr message. When he had finished he merely pushed it back to Monty and said, “Can’t send it,” and returned to his work. “Can’t send it! I ' m an American, don’t cher know. I’ve got to have some money!” “Sorry,” he replied, “Can’t send it.” “Well! I am in a bally fix,” exclaimed the exasperated Monty. “No pass¬ ports, no money. Gosh ! Wonder what I should do next ? Guess I had better see the American Consul.” Monty moved on and hesitated before a door bearing the sign “American Embassy.” “It’s a case of life or death so I may as well be brave,” said he and was about to knock when he saw two men rapidly approaching. “Just a minute,” hailed one of them. He turned, and as they came up one grabbed him by an arm. “Hey! What’s the idea ! ’Pon my word—” “Not so loud,” cautioned one, “Come with us.” “But I say,” protested Monty, “What’s the idea?” “You are arrested as a spy,” confided the man in a whisper. “Why don’t ’cher know who I am? I’m Monty Gilberts, an American.” “Sorry,” replied the German, “You must come.” Monty protested no longer but accompanied them in silence. Two blocks further down they entered a large brick building and were escorted up two flights of stairs. This brought them to a large room where a half dozen men sat. When they entered one of them inquired. “Who is this one?” ‘“Whitney Irwine, alias Monty Gilberts, your honor,” answered one of his captors. The judge lifted his eyebrows. “Say, I’d like to know what I’m here for. I’m no spy. You have no evi¬ dence against me. Search me!” shouted Monty passionately. “Evidence did you say?” queried the judge sarcastically. “My man, your very accent betrays you. You have all the swagger and speech of an English- 79 man. our name is British, and perhaps you think we can’t translate that code cablegram you tried to send. You will be tried by court martial for espionage in two days.” ‘‘Number seven, your honor,” said an attendant as he approached Monty to lead him to prison. Monty sat in his cell for six hours, with only the occasional passage of the warden to break the monotony. Suddenly sounds began to eminate from the cell next to him. He listened intently and heard a deep powerful voice say, ‘‘Dr. Babington Crosseter will be around in an hour; he is an American but is now on the German war st aff. ' ’ That was all but it was enough to set Monty thinking. “Why Dr. Crosseter was in the same class at Yale as father. I’ve met him several times and if he is on f he war staff why he can get me out of here. The very thing, ’pon my word if it isn’t!” he shouted becoming excited. “I’ll do it.” The time seemed interminable till he heard footfalls coming down the corridor. They stopped at the cell vext to him, and a small decrepit man con¬ versed with the occupant for a few minutes and started to return. “Dr. Crosseter,” called Monty hesitatingly. ‘‘ hat is it? ' answered the man sharply, turning towards Monty’s cell. “Doctor, do you remember Malcom Gilberts of Yale?” asked Monty. “Why yes, he is a very good friend of mine.” “Well Doctor, I’m his son. I have met you several times in America. I’m here, accused of being a spy. T ou know Malcom Gilberts’ son is not an English spy. Can’t you get me out of here?” Why so it is, said the doctor. “Bless my soul, you’re no spy. I’ll be back in a few minutes.” Monty breathed a sigh of relief when he was gone. “Hang it all, that English pronunciation is what got me in this fix. I’ll drop it if I ever get out.” The return of the doctor with the warden interrupted his thoughts. “Here warden, open this cell,” commanded Dr. Crosseter. “Come out Monty. Just a little mistake. They thought you were Whitney Irwine who goes under the alias of M. L. Gilberts.” “Well believe me, Doctor, it seemed like a mighty big mistake to me!” said Monty laughing. 80 George Eichorn, Jr., T9 PHI-DI ni McN-IO 81 Htterarp j% onetp Motto: Facite Officium Colors : Green and gold F-lower : Jonquil OFFICERS First Semester Second Semester Elizabeth Ci.arv ...

He had been in school many years and I felt sure would be able to help me out of difficulty. Rising I mounted the rostrum to ask Apollo if he would help me. “I ' m sure you have seen many interesting sights and had many amusing experiences all the time you’ve looked down on this room. I have to write some¬ thing about the McNeil Society. I wonder if you know any thing about it,’’ I said. “Impatiently I waited for the answer and to my great relief Apollo smiled and replied: “I saw the first meeting and many since and very pleasant it has been. If you sit down here I’ll be glad to tell you all I know.” The Society had its first meeting in the chapel of the old High School in 1909. There were about twenty-five members. Miss Jones and Miss Womble were the first supervisors. Many different teachers have had charge of the so¬ ciety until now the two favorites, Miss Sutton and Miss Alexander, reign. How eager they all were to begin work and with how much dignity they carried on that first meeting. After much discussion they named the society after John Charles McNeil, the most famous professor in North Carolina. I have heard it said that girls are not parliamentary or business like, but I have never believed it since that time. No fuss nor confusion was shown and the society was soon in working order, holding meetings twice a month at which all kinds of music, recitations, farces and even ambitious debates in which the affairs of the nation were discussed and settled, were given. The work has been each year growing a little broader and a little more successful. At first the society members were from only the two higher grades but later the Sophomores were included. It continued growing in size and popularity until the membership be¬ came too large for one organization and the Ionian Society was formed from it. And so the work has gone on until now, 1917. Many, many girls have been in this society and I am sure they were as sorry to go as we were to have them go, for many jolly good times we have had together. His voice trailed off with a sigh, there was a clang and 1 woke with a start to find that the gong for history had rung. 84 Doris Chappell iBtapijesian Htterarp is octetp Motto : Fideli Cuta Merces Colors : White and Red Flower: Pansy First Semester OFFICERS Second Semester Oscar Boyst . .

The object of the new societies was to encourage boys in speaking, especially debating. In 1913 the name of the Diaphesian Society was changed to Diaphesian Literary ' Society. This was done in order that the name might indicate not only the. debates, but also the other kinds of literary work the society was undertaking. In order to buy furniture and become independent the society presented Mutt and Jeff’s Greater Shows” in January, 1915. This attraction netted us over seventy dollars, and showed that our boys were splendid actors. After this financial success the society took on new life and greater interest was taken in all society work. e started 1915-16 with a new staff of officers, as several of our best workers graduated the year before. But it was not long before the society was in full blast and interest renewed. In December of this term the society pre¬ sented The Spy of Gettysburg. Although this play was not a financial success it proved very entertaining. This year the society is conducting a commissary store, selling chewing gum, candy, “hot dogs,” etc., at recess. At present prospects look very favorable. In 1914 the ”Di.” won the silver loving cup offered by the Alumni Associa¬ tion to the boys ' society winning two out of three inter-society debates. We have won three out of the last four debates with the Philomelian Society and have furnished three of the four triangular debaters for four years in succession. Many good workers will graduate this year and the work will necessarily fall on the younger members. But, safe to say, the Diaphesian is left in good hands. May the society be as successful in the future as in the past. Fletcher Ridge, Historian DIAPHKSIAN MTKRARY SOC1KTV Query —Resolved that the U. S. should own and operate its railways G. H. S.

H. S.,” there was a society and in that society there were girls and girls and still more girls. Now it came to pass that one brave soul, feeling the effects of too much crowding, sum¬ moned the courage to cry out, “Enough is enough, but too much is a plenty.” This is the story of the “plenty.” In the fall, 1910, out of the old McNeil Literary Society, there sprang a new society. This new society named themselves Ionians and pledged that they would “dare to be wise” and stand by the Black and Gold. Launched in their good ship “Determination,” they set forth on the seas of the Unknown Future to capture a greater appreciation of literature, to defeat timidity and bashfulness and to learn the true meaning of the word “loyalty.” In order to test the musical and literary skill of the members and to de¬ velop any talent that might show itself, a certain period every two weeks was set apart for a regular program. With the aid and interest of the teachers, these programs and many other forms of amusement w ' ere made successful. Year after year, new members have been received into the society who have pledged themselves to honor, love and obey and to aid in the upbuilding of the standard of the society. I,ike all other “onions,” the older they became, the stronger, until today they walk side by side with the “Mother Society,” taking the lead in many things that have gone to place them in their present glory.

This was emphasized in 1909 by the organization of the Ciceronean Literary Society. Pupils who came from grammar schools were not given the privilege of becoming members of the society until they were mem¬ bers of the ninth grade. This custom is still followed. The purpose of the society was three fold: First, to develop the art of debating; second, to promote better fellowship among the boys; and lastly to create that real high school spirit necessary to make the high school a success. This society, in a very few months, did much and lasting good which has not been recognized and ap¬ preciated by the succeeding organizations of the society. The society became so large that in 1910 it became necessary to divide it into two separate and distinct sections, the Philomelian and Diaphesian Debat¬ ing Societies. For three years the society did work only in debating but with the coming of the school term of 1914, the High School authorities offered to the two societies for acceptance or rejection one of the best constitutions ever drawn up for a literary society. This was unanimously accepted by both socie¬ ties. This new constitution provided for a change of the society’s name from debating to literary society and made it to include a much larger field of work. Afterwards we had not only debates in society, but declamations, cur¬ rent events, and varied selections that have tended to develop literary talent. In 1915 a society ball was given each society. The same year the society gave an entertainment which was very successful and which produced funds for furnishing our hall and left our treasury in good state. Another play was given the following year which was so successful as to enable us to give twenty-five dollars ($25.00) to the Athletic Association. Since these events the society has always taken a real interest in all inter-society events and has always been repre¬ sented in the triangular debates. We have not taken a real interest in society work the fall term of this year but every indication points to a most successful spring term and with the material the Phi. ' s have we fully expect to surpass all records made by our society in past years before the end of the spring term. We believe that the Phi. Society will maintain its place as leader in society as well as in athletic activities before the end of the spring term. We close this history with a confident expecta¬ tion that the coming members of the Phi. Society will protect, uphold, and de¬ velop our society.

C., under Act of March 3, 1879. Vol. X. NOVEMBER, 1910 No. 1 EDITORIALS HIGH SCHOOL SPIRIT Yes, back to the old theme—however, it never seems out of place. By the boys who have made up the different athletic teams this year there has been exhibited a feeling indescribable (but a feeling all the same) that after their labors and en¬ deavors they have not been supported. What a small thing is left us to do after they wearily, day after day, tire themselves out in ceaseless practice? What a small thing is it, 1 say, for us to attend the games and do our best to spur the boys on to victory, and to just as loyally go with them to defeat. Is it anything more than right and just for us to do this and to do it willingly ? I think not. hy they give themselves for old G. H. S., have given their time, week after week. We are asked to give a quarter to attend a game together with our¬ selves and our time for about an hour and a half, maybe once in three or four weeks and what do we do but refuse? Oh, there’s a faithful few at every game, but it’s usually the same loyal bunch. If I were you I’d in some way get into the spirit of the thing. Hidden somewhere your spirit must be. If you’ll just polish it up a little by practice, it’ll soon shine as Dnglit as any one’s. Shall we let Winston, Durham, any place excel G. H. S. in spirit? Emphatically No!!! Let’s all say it. TO THE MEN OF GREENSBORO. GIVE THE TEACHERS BET¬ TER SALARIES What are you thinking of, citizens of Greensboro, or have you thought at all ? Here is a question arising in the school life today that vitally concerns you because it concerns the future citizens of this city. You must have their interest at heart, but you haven’t thought. Well, think now ! This is the question—Are you paying the teachers of these schools high enough salaries to keep them in your service? Have you of¬ fered enough to secure any teachers who will keep the job ter any length of time or just enough for those who will take it up just to pass the time away till something better offers itself? In the past we have lost a number of splendid teachers who have gone on and are now holding very high positions in other institutions of learning. Hasn’t Greensboro as much right to these educated and refined men and women as any other c ty ? Then how about + he teachers we have managed to hold this long? Do you really think that on the salaries they are now receiving they will long be with us? Why of course not. The problem of “The high cost of living” is a problem for them as it is for you. They are giving their best dail to your problems—your boys and girls. Why not help them in solving theirs by paying living salaries ? Men, stand by your boys and girls. They need the best that money can secure in the way of efficient teachers. You get the best dentist and the best doctor for your children, do you not? Aren’t you just as concerned about their mental and moral growth. Teachers have a great influence, good or bad, over the lives of boys and girls. Then to secure and keep those who will have the uplifting and moral influence needed it will be necessary for you to go down in your pocket a little bit deeper, even though you touch bottom. CHAPEL EXERCISES So far in the High School our chapel exercises have not taken the proper place in our school life. Of course every one agrees that it’s nice to get together three times during the week and carry on the exercises, but what of the exercises themselves? They should be a vital and necessary part of our every-day life, and hand in hand with the devotional exercises should go education, interest, and pleasure. As chapel is now conducted it’s all right, but there is a certain unavoidable mo¬ notony in repeating the same thing over and over. Why not get together, boys and girls, and devise some way of adding a little “pep” and go to take the blunt edges off the system at any rate? Other schools have formed plans by which the different classes would have charge of chapel at different times. Suppose for instance we should have one exercise of this kind each week. Then each class would be called on just once a month. There is much talent in this High School and it should not be allowed to be hidden and stored away, but should be developed and made to give pleasure to others. Be¬ sides this, we could have prominent and influential men and women speak to us on matters really concerning us and could be helped no little in this way. !• M TORS MISS VIRGINIA DAVIS Athletic Sponsor AT mine £ltl)lettcs OFFICERS Boys’ Association Mr. W.

Sarah Britton .. Claire Stafford .. Lucy Blake N comparing the results of the three teams the High School puts out it will be noticed that the football has the poorest showing. I he question is “Why?” Is it because the boys of Greensboro are not as large and robust as others of the State? Is it because interest is not shown by the boys of the High School? Or is the reason because the team is not supported by the students and faculty of the High School or the citizens of the city? In answer to the first question it is only fair to say the average weight of the respective teams met by G. H. S. has been practically the same in every case. It is not because of a lack of weight or strength that the team is not successful. In justice to the boys that compose the team it should be said no better co-operation could be had. Gvery boy that has hopes of making the team reported for practice every day possible. Lack of interest and co-operation can not he offered as a cause for the many defeats of the team. In answer to the last, if it were said the students, faculty, and citizens of the city did not support the team, they would be greatly misrepresented. The majority of the students attend the games. The faculty gave all the assistance in their power. Many people of the city gave their aid by being present at the games. It is not because of a lack of support that the team is not successful. 104 A coach of athletics is needed in the High School and especially one famil¬ iar with football if the team is to be successful. The Y. M. C. A. develops basket¬ ball material before the boys enter High School. Every boy has played baseball since he could remember. Football is known to very few until they enter High School. If the High School had a competent coach all forms of athletics would be immensely aided. He could take the raw material of the eighth grade and in two or three years have a finished product for the football team. In the mean¬ time he would develop each year ' s new grade to take the place of those that graduate. The need of a coach can not be too strongly urged. During the football season of 1916 the team had two coaches. Both volunteered their services and time free. One left the city and when the other took charge of the team in the mid-season he had to begin at preliminary practices, not because the first was incompetent but because of different methods of coaching. The High School needs a coach—whether of the faculty or not, some kind of athletic director is badly needed for the good of all the students of old G. H. S. 105 JfoothaU The football team of 1916 was not very successful, winning only two games. Captain Pearce led in the playing of the backfield supported capably by the rest of the backfield, Clary and Rives.

We’ve studied hard—but rest assured We’ve had our share of fun. Athletics call for socials— We’ve responded to the call, And a dozen ones we’ve had or more And thoroughly enjoyed them all. 1 16 A reception was Liven the Danville football team at the beautiful home of Miss Margaret C. Thompson on North Elm street by the boys and girls of our high school. Punch was served from a picturesque alcove, in the reception Hall. The evening was pleasantly spent in dancing. Ice cream and cake were served. Everyone had a dandy good time. A most enjoyable reception was given at the lovely home of Miss Corinne Justice in honor of the Winston-Salem football team on October 28th. The evening was delightfully spent in dancing and progressive conversation. Erozen punch and nuts were served. Misses Sarah Poole and Evangeline Brown were joint hostesses to the members of the Senior Class at a Hallowe’en party at the home of Miss Poole. The guests, upon arriving, were met at the walk by ghosts, who ushered them around the house. After falling over numerous obstructions, they finally reached the door of entrance which was at the opposite side of the house. Each one pres¬ ent, dressed in some weird costume peculiar to the night—witches, farmers, In¬ dians, Spanish girls, dudes, babies, godesses, fairies, Irish girls, Ro-Peeps, clowns, etc.—had a jolly time together bobbing apples, toasting marshmallows, popping corn, and amusing themselves as they pleased. An attractive corner, hidden by corn-stalks, was discovered as the home of an old witch who told each a marvelous story and prophesied a wonderful future for all. Queer fortunes, hidden in nutshells also revealed each one’s character. Music was rendered all through the evening by the High School Orchestra. Refreshments consisted of a fruit salad served in apples; crackers, nuts, olives, etc. The majority of the Class of 1917, with the faculty, and a host of ghosts, together, made about eighty- five to enjoy the evening. At the mystic hour of twelve the guests departed for their respective homes, declaring that they had enjoyed one of the best nights of their lives. 117 The members of the Durham basketball team were guests at an attractively arranged reception at the home of Miss Henrietta Beall on Asheboro street. Dan¬ cing was the most enjoyable feature of the evening. A delicious ice course was served. On the 15th of October the Danville girls’ basketball team was entertained at the home of Miss Corinne Justice on Park Drive. The home was artistically decorated in autumn leaves and ferns. Dancing and progressive conversation were the main features of the evening. The High School Orchestra furnished the music which added much pleasure to those present. Ice cream and cake were served to the guests. 1 ' he A inston High School basketball team was royally entertained at Miss Mary Jordan’s home on Edgeworth street. The guests enjoyed the usual good time. A delicious salad course was served. About fifty people were present. All of the visitors said they had the very best time ever. After the Raleigh High School basketball game, the visitors were tendered a beautiful reception by the girls and boys of the Greensboro High, at the attrac¬ tive home of Miss Jean McAlister. The refreshments were quite a feature of the evening, which were cherry bon-bons, cake and mints. The Charlotte basketball team was given a most beautiful reception at the handsome home of Miss Roberta Strudwick on Mendenhall street. As this was the last basketball reception of the year, ever} ' one enjoyed it to the fullest ex¬ tent. Ice cream and cake proved to be the drawing card of the evening. Attractive invitations were issued by the tenth grade, stating that the Junior Class would be at home to the Class of 1917 at a masquerade ball. The place and time of this much looked forward to event, was the Country Club, on February 28th. On that date the club was the scene of one of the most enjoyable affairs in the social life of G. H. S. The guests were met at the front door by 118 a receiving line consisting of a few of the hosts and hostesses. The entire lower floor of the club was tastily decorated with the colors of both classes and the George Washington color scheme. Although every detail in the decorations of all the rooms were beautiful, the corner in the billiard room in which the punch bowl was situated seemed to attract the crowd. The entire evening was spent in dancing and promenading. The couple wearing the most unique costumes were awarded prizes which were in keeping with the occasion. Two of the many effective ideas were the drawing of favors, varying from dunce caps to candle¬ sticks, from a large ship representing the ship of life of the Senior Class, and the honorees picking their fortunes in the shape of delicious red cherries from a cherry tree. About eleven o’clock the guests were asked to unmask and they were served delicious refreshments consisting of ice cream and cake, mints, and almonds. All in all the Seniors voted this the most enjoyable of the many enter¬ tainments yet given. On Friday evening, March the 16th, the seventeen male “responsibilities” of the Senior Class of ' 17 were invited to attend a banquet with seventeen female “responsibilities” as their partners by the whole female section of our contingent. When each and every one of the honored thirty-four had arrived upon the scene of action were ushered to the near hall where we were served one of the most delightful banquets ever mortal eye did see. The menu consisted of many delicious and tasty viands served by the remaining fair members of our most illustrious Class of 1917. The many intermissions, i. e., between courses, were well taken up by ex¬ cellent toasts from various members present. Following the last course, an impromptu minstrel was given by the boys in chapel. All the girls voted this to be a delightful surprise. The Seniors are contemplating many interesting events during graduation week, among which are the Senior play, senior speaking, class day, graduating exercises, picnics, and receptions given by various members of the class.

Vice-President . Secretary . Treasurer x . Press Reporter In the fall of 1916 the German students met in the chapel to organize the Vowarts Club, this word signifying not only the name but the motto of the club. This is the first time in the history of the High School that such a club has been organized. During the year entertainments have been given at the school, carrying out the German ideas and cus¬ toms. Then too all the German students were royally entertained by Miss Berg Christmas at her home. 121 “Giggles” Rogers: “Virginia, give the principal parts of the verb skate.” Virginia: “Skate, slippere, fallie, bumptum.” G. R.: “Wrong! failere, flunxi, suspendum.” Dunc. : “How do you think I’d look with twenty more pounds on me?” Jacobs: “Punk, if it looked like the rest of you.” “Little drops of acid Little grains of zinc, Make a lot of trouble And leave a heap of stink.” Mr. Hale: “Now, Eldridge put that basketball in your desk and get to work.” Bob (seeing Hamp point his gun at a rabbit) : “There is no use, Hamp, the gun isn’t loaded.” Hamp: “Hush, the rabbit don’t know it.” “English” Pug (in an effort to be smart) : “Yes, Mr. Smith is so stingy that he puts green glasses on his cow and feeds her lumber shavings for grass.” John: “Does the cow give wood alcohol?” Miss GrESSIT (at the bakery) : “How much are these doughnuts?” Saleslady: “Ten cents per dozen.” Miss GrESSit: “Well, er, they look exactly like some I got here yesterday at six for a nickel.” Miss Alexander (discussing freight rates) : “Oscar, tell me what you know about freight charges.” Oscar: “Don’t know, I always rode the freight cars free.” Dr. Hyatt (to Jesse Keith) : “Are your teeth good?” Jesse: “They ought to be; they cost $9.98.” Lewis (to his father in the postoffice) : “Maybe, papa, we can slip the letter in the box without buying a stamp.” Jack Rees: “My dog, Casey Jones, committed suicide.” Bob: “How?” |. R.: “He stuck his tail in his mouth and said, ‘this is the end.’ ” 122 Phy. Geo. (pupil) : “Say, Bill, I can’t tell one of these rocks from another.” Mr. Webster : “Sit down, you must be stone blind.” Skinny (to Archer after a football game) : “Hello, old chap, how are you?” Archer: “First class, how are you?” Skinny: “Steerage.” Miss Sutton : “I see by the papers that they have really discovered the North Pole.” Sidney: “ ’Deed, where at?” Dick (coming home) : “Pm not going to put up with it any longer. Miss Gressit blessed me out for something I didn’t do?” Fond Parent: “That’s an outrage. What didn ' t you do?” Dick : “A geometry problem.” Student : “Mr. Ingle, when do we have exam, on our next parallel reading?” Mr. Ingle: “I am not going to tell you when, but I will tell you it will not come either before or after the 15th of March.” WHERE YOU’LL FIND THEM “Bubby” Broadnax—In bed. “Dimmy” Johnson—Selling ’taters at Patterson’s. “Sook” Boyst—Sitting with the ladies. “Mexican Joe” Stamey—437 W.

Nonymous Editor He Turned Them Off By 0. Herman (Author of The Chewing Gum Queen, “Some Bull,” etc.) It was a dark rainy day so the lights were turned on. The chemistry class was just returning to the room when Mr. Web¬ ster remembered that he had left the light burning in the laboratory. “Robert,” says he, to Knowledge Pearce, “turn off the light, please.” Knowledge manfully de¬ scended the steps and went cheerfully to obey. A little later in the day Mr. Webster went back to the laboratory and found the light still burning. “Robert.” says he again, “didn ' t I tell you to turn off that light?” “Yes, sir,” was the hero’s reply. “But 1 had to turn it back on so I could see my way out.” _ “English Hal—He Has an Idea By Florida Blossoms (Author of “Eagle Beakie”) The society was in confusion. It had al¬ ready been in session a half-hour over time. The vote had just been taken for secretary and resulted in a tie, 23 to 23. Both candi¬ dates were very popular and it was unlike¬ ly that another vote would break the tie. The president was neutral and did not wish to offend either candidate. How to settle the dispute was a serious question. But, “English Hal” Pugh, always on the alert, after a few moments deliberation, rose slowly and, with an air of a William Jennings Bryan secured the floor. “Mr, President,” he said. “Mr. Pugh,” he was recognized. “Mr. President, after thinking over this matter for awhile, it seems that there is only one thing to do. Let the president cast the deciding vote in secret.” The Reason Why” By Mr. John D. Stone fellow (Author of “When Knowledge Sneezes”) “Education” Schenck is great on close shaves. One day while he was being shav¬ ed the genial barber, a very sociable fel¬ low, said: 3 ou know, Mr. Schenck, 1 had rather shave two Winston fellows than to shave one from Greensboro.” “Education” was astonished. “Why?” he breathlessly asked. Because,” said the barber, ‘“when 1 shave two men I get two fees, but when 1 shave only one I just get pa3 for one.” “Education” ran out so fast that he for¬ got to wipe the lather from his face. Poor Annette” By Handsome Dunk (Author of Brownie ' s Sarenaders”) Annette Rainey had just recovered from a severe attack of the gout, and was out taking his morning walk. Just in front of the church he met Bull” Shelton. “Bull being a very polite guy asked Annette how he felt. Poor Annette showed his misery and answered. “Not much, Bull, I used to be able to walk all the way around the block but now when I get half way around I. have to turn around and go home.” “The Price JIf Paid” Venus de Milo Rives was manager of the baseball team. He took the team to the photographer’s to have the picture taken for the Annual. “How much are they,” he asked Mr. Moose. “Three dollars a dozen,” he was told. “Well I ' ll be durned,” lamented Venus, “I only have eleven on the team.” 125 lab pits A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING Does a rainy day necessarily mean Mourane? “If Portia attempted to kill Antony would Julius Caesar?” If the lights went out would the gas meter? If Myrtle has a heart would Bob Pearce it? Bob—“Boy, that was some supper last night.” Jacobs—“Was it a course affair?” Bob—“Coarse? I should say not! It was a swell affair.” “Do you love me?” asked the little sack. “I’m just wrapped up in you,” answered the sugar. “You sweet thing,” said the sack. Class Song—Class of 1920 “Three more years and we will be free Of this place of misery, No more sick slips, no more books No more saucy teachers’ looks.” Pinky (to the ticket agent) : “Say, Mister, what time does the 4:20 train leave for Raleigh?” An old negro man, having just lost his wife, felt sentimental and composed the fol¬ lowing verse in her memory: “In Memory of Eliza Jones” “O, am she dead, O are she gone, O, have she left I all alone, O, cruel fate you was unkind To take her ’fore and leave I ' hind Us cannot go to she, Her cannot come to we, It cannot was.” The baseball team had just started on a three-day trip to play the Reidsville, Danville and Chatham teams respectively. Enthusiasm was high. “Scrubby” Rives was all excited when he appeared at the ticket office and applied for 14 tickets to Reidsville. “To Reidsville,” asked the agent in order to be sure. “Yes,” blurted out ‘Scrubby, “I’m taking the team over to Reidsville to play Danville on their home grounds. We expect to beat them but the odds are two to one in favor of Chatham.” ’Twas a sad old time in the kitchin that night The cabbage rung his head There was weeping and wailing in the kitchin that night For the vinegar’s mother was dead.” 126 JBtff pullcttn poarb NOTICE—I would appre¬ ciate any advice on how to acquire beauty. — Jesse Keith.

The Bulletin Board takes great pleasure in announcing that Mr. Enoch Lafayette Stamey has kindly consented to run for President in 1920. In an interview, Candidate Stamey said, “Yes, I expect to run for President in 1920. It took me several days to decide whether or not I should con¬ tinue jerking sodas for Con¬ yers Sykes or become Presi¬ dent. I finally decided on the latter as the salary is larger. Although I will not have time to build a platform I am al¬ ready in the race. After I am elected my first legislation will be to reverse the money value. I intend to make pennies worth dollars, and dollars worth pennies. This will increase the wealth of the country as everybody has more pennies than dollars. I also believe that the city should furnish free lunches for the school children. Vote! Vote early! Vote often. (X) His mark. ENOCH S.

Apply Willard Rainey. 127 GLEE CLUB ORCHESTRA FLY LEAVES Mentor JDortrp Flora’s such a little girl, And is so terribly quiet; She just sits still and listens To all the surrounding riot. An orator he aspires to be, Does young Mr. Willard Rainey. And when you come to think of it, He really is quite brainy. A dillar—A dollar—A ten o’clock scholar Is Ernest our prophet so wise; In geometry he’s great, But he’s all the time late, But for this you can’t him despise. If the rest of the class never gains any fame, Nor to any great honor is successor John will make up the loss of the whole ’17 class, When he gets the title of Professor.” “Brownie’s” the life of the whole Senior Class, We could hardly exist without her, Wherever she goes she carries her smile And her wit amuses all those about her. Augusta, ’tis a problem, To write something about you. You’re just so good, all that I could say Would lack the justice you’re due. The mirror of fashion is Henry, He’s always immaculately dressed. His virtues are many, but politeness Is the one that he makes manifest. “Pinky” is one of these little girls You just couldn’t bear to hurt, But in spite of your tender feelings for her She’s a terrible little flirt. He’s a “jolly-good-fellow” in school and out, That’s just what Enoch is And if he can’t get the President’s job, He can get one jerking fiz. Mary Wilson is our genius, Her knowledge of French is astounding But you can’t get geometry into her head Only by continuous pounding. Fannie Sue is our songster, She sings just like a bird, And you’ve certainly missed a great big treat If her voice you’ve never heard. His pockets are full of candy, His head is full of sense ???????? And if you can’t guess who this is You are certainly very dense. Roberta can’t tell which she’s going to be, A writer or a chauffeur, But she’s fast enough she will admit To keep from being a loafer. To write up Mozelle and Lois, In “separate” little verses, I fear to do—because I’d bring Down on my head their curses. “Dick” excels in football. As well as in other things too, But tell him he’s not fond of— And something will happen to you. She weilds the brush with a steady hand, Does Alice our wonderful artist, But to get her to talk, you just can’t do Although you tried your hardest. Arnold deals in jewels rare That in Shiffman’s store abound, But a greater jewel than he himself Is nowhere to be found. If you want to learn to drive a car, And don’t know how to begin it, A splendid teacher you will find Marie, She can teach you in a minute. Archer’s dancing is so superb, And his dimples are so awfully cute, No wonder that he is so popular And the cause of so many disputes. Bonnie doesn’t have much to say, But she “gets there” just the same. And we firmly expect to see her some day High up in the hall of fame. Robert’s wit just will come out. At the most inopportune time, But the teachers in their wrath never stop to think That no one can be sublime. Mozelle is honest And faithful and true. To be classed as her friend Is an honor to you. “Pug’s” tongue may get twisted once in a while, But what do we care for that. He’s always ready to help when he can, And he’s a man for a’ that and a’ that. Duncan shines in geometry, Though a small star he may be And the way he stores the sense away, Would be difficult to see. 131 Though not a genius in her books, Madona is the best of cooks. Kindness she’ll pour into your cup, If you just don’t get her temper up. Frances our poet and artist too; Oh, why should so many talents, Be vested in one of the human race, And none be given the balance. Elizabeth Clegg when going to school Was never known to break a rule; Although quiet and very demure, She gets through on everything you may be sure. Margaret is a boss for true. Without her the receptions would never go through, She’s jolly and loving with a will very firm, And always ready to do a good turn. Fletcher Ridge is class poet, So merry and witty and shy If you mention his genius he blushes And modestly lowers his eye. Eugenia’s beaux are numerous, So therefore her letters are too; And answering all these epistles Is just about all she can do. Earle’s our rooter so gay and bright, For G. H. S. he’ll always fight. Rooting long and rooting loud ; Although one he makes a crowd. There is a dainty little Miss, By all her friends she’s nicknamed “Sis.” In all the mischief she takes first rank, When it comes to playing a prank. Lewis Schenck is his name, The boy with the world-wide fame Debating is not his only fort, For also “-” he knows how to court. Bessie May so tall and so divinely fair, Was never known to have a care, She and Cora from day to day, Spend math period in just mere play. Behold Barre, our gifted little poet, And best of all she does not know it Besides this gift there is one untold, And that is her love for a “Tootsie Roll.” Of all girls hearts he makes a wreck, Does this young fellow we call “Hec.” And when we scatter the debris, No signs of “Hec” you then can see. There is a young lassie named Jean, Whose face so calm and serene, Lights up with a smile Every once in a while Whenever her friends are seen. “Sweet Popularity” she ought to be called, But “Ginga” she’s called instead, Should you bestow upon her a world-full of praise, It would never “go to her head.” There is a young sport named Mowery, Whose neckties are always flowery, But notwithstanding his fondness for Poole He is exceedingly bright in school. Among the things that Sarah likes, (Too numerous to mention) Wake holds first place, we’ll all admit, Without any contention. Doris has been successful, In everything she’s tried, And our only hope is that she will, Succeed in “landing” Clyde. Little Miss Myrtle, unlike the turtle Could never be called slow. She spends her time, in writing rhyme To get her beaux in a row. If I must tell you about Corrine, The way she talks it is a sin; Her grades are as high as a mountain top, And best of all they never drop. Dear little Cora, whose last name is Moore Is anything but a social bore; Dancing is her chief delight, And the way she flirts is an awful sight. Mary R. our little Virginian, Though not from the “Old North State.” She’s won a place in all of our hearts For which, none other can debate. We’ve elected her the beauty, Of the 1917 class, And altogether Mary Louise Is a winsome little lass. Irene Perkins we all ought to know For buggy-riding she often does go; Takes good care of her horse And as a matter of course, Doesn’t like walking for that’s too slow. Susie’s name is Hogshead, And that head is full of knowledge, We know she’ll make the swellest of grades If she ever goes to college. You can’t appreciate Mary H. Until you’ve known her a while, But then you find her real true worth, Which is characteristic of her style. “Wee” stands for Henrietta, And the nickname suits her exactly, Though small she also knows a lot, And does everything correctly. itlp latest inspiration Don’t you feel most frightened, When you climb the stairs, To have your picture taken? (A ou ought to say your prayers). They lead you in a little room, And tell you, “Fix up fine,” You really feel as gawky, As clothes upon a line. t hen they take you in another That contains an awful mess, Of papers, pictures, scraps, And all things—more or less. You gently sit upon a chair And gaze ahead with fright, At an awful large black figure— It is a grotesque sight! It stands upon four feet just like Atost beasts of now-a-time, And never moves a single bit But gazes most sublime. A little man comes running out, And sits you right up straight, Then moves back and looks at you— While you look back with hate. Now, when he gets the angle, He wishes you to stay— He rushes madly back— (You think it’s Judgment Day). And there he stayed and stayed. Beneath that old bird’s wing, He’ll have to come on out, all right, When Gabriel starts to sing. And there you stay and try to grin, Just like the moon at night, And don’t know which way to turn, With that old beast in sight. Well, sure enough before that time, He yells out, “Be right still,” And grabs a little rubber ball, And squeezes most to kill. And then he says, “All over now”— You sigh with great relief— And leave that place just when you can, With joy and not with grief. So children— When you want a picture struck, Be as brave as brave can be— But to tell the honest truth, I’ll say, “Never again for me!” 134 Senior Statistics GIRLS .Jean McAlister ...ViRfiiNi a Davis .Bessie May Denny .Elizabeth Clary .Roberta Strudwick .Margaret Thompson .Mary Ragland .Flora Porter .Sarah Poole ...Cora Moore Et,i7areth Ct ego .Mary Louise Donnell .Mary HF ' .niirk ' ks .Margaret Stroud Most Influential . .Evangeline Brown Most Popular .
