There was also a comment to the effect that this organization was the newest member of that City Federation. The fact that it was the newest organization was not the significant thing, but the motive and purpose behind the organization was sig¬ nificant. The realization on the part of the Parents and Teachers that in the High School there is need for cooperation in order that the High School may be im¬ proved and that the best things possible be given to the High School boys and girls formed the basis for organization. Thus the organization began. Com¬ mittees of various kinds were appointed, as health, playground, school improve¬ ment, and entertainment. For fo ur years the Parent-Teacher Association has grown and proved itself indispensable to parents and teachers. Indispensable to parents because it gives the parents an opportunity to know the teachers, to know the school better, and to feel that the parents have a great part in he education of the High School Children. The school may fall short in some things, then a group of three hun¬ dred parents may call attention to such error more effectively than one person presenting it. In numbers there is strength. To the teachers this organization is indispensable! They can bravely under¬ take any task, however arduous, when they know that just back of them is a strong wall of interested parents. The monthly meeting, with the timely pro¬ grams give teachers a chance to get the parents’ viewpoint of various problems pertaining to the welfare of the school. If it were not for the High School Parent-Teacher Associatio n there would come to Greensboro many a teacher homesick. But each teacher is made to feel welcome here by members of this organization, And after they come— well the entertainment committee treats us royally and soon each teacher is com¬ fortably located. Throughout the year this committee plans for the teachers wonderful receptions. This organization is worth while—may its life be long! Page Ten fTHE 1923 REFLECTOR m EDITOR ' S NOTE This picture, very unusual and absolutely the star production of the Gate City Co., is called The Reflector. It deals with four years of toil and terror, happincss(f) and hardship, error and expense, perplexities and polities, flapper follies and tea-hound tribulations. All this culminates in a final triumph. This success cases the dark presentiments and sad misgivings of those unfortunates in “Borderland The photography was made on the immediate scene of action, at great danger to all concerned, especially the camera. Owing to the increased cost of production, the price in elbozv grease and spot cash far exceeds that of all former productions in this line. IVe present it for your approval. Page Eleven THE 1923 REFLECTOR Vincent Schenck is the little daugh¬ ter of Mr. and Mrs. Merlin Schenck, also of West Market Street, and aged three. She is Vincent Bargaining beloved neighbor and “beloveder girl.” She is moreover the loveliest little thing that the bright eyes of Vincent Bargamin could possibly light upon and ’tis no wonder that she is his declared sweet¬ heart. She is as blue-eyed as he is, and brown haired and bewitching to the last degree. In temperament she is his exact opposite, and therein the class gets the charm of the passive type. She is like the sweetest flowers that grow, but fairer and sweeter than any of them. To look upon these mascots is to adopt them, they are irresistible and the members of the class of 1923 under the charm of the two Vincents go forth to win—they must if for no other reasons, “By these signs they name declare it. Vincent Bargamin, The very interpretation of their Vincent Bargamin, Jr., West Mar¬ ket Street, a mischievous, blue-eyed, rosy cheeked captivating youngster, ready to do and ready to dare—the finest type of an active, radiant four- year-old that North Carolina pro¬ duces. He looks like a Kewpie on the warpath, he is so bigoty and un¬ afraid, always itching for a good fight, so bright and funny. He would be perfectly delighted to tackle creation and all the imps for the class. He is our active mascot. Any one asking Vincent Bargamin the inevitable question, “Who’s your sweetheart?” would receive the in¬ stantaneous reply, “Her.” pointing to tiny little Vincent Schenck.

(4); Girls’ Ath¬ letic Council (4); Vollevball (3) ; Orchestra (1). (2), (3), (4); Varsity Basketball (4); Hiking Club (3), (4). “In all sports she does well.” Eleanor is a “master of all trades where sports are concerned. She won a place in the swimming meet, plays class and varsity basketball, and tennis. Everybody thinks she’s supremely indifferent, but the people who know her best say there are times when she “hides an aching heart ' neath a smiling mask.” Her ambition is to he a violinist. Well—while there’s life there’s hope. CLIFTON R. BERRIER “Chip” Age 17; weight 142; height 5 feet, 10 inches. Activities: Athletic Association (3); Class Bas¬ ketball (3); Track Squad (3); Literary So¬ ciety (2) ; Science Club (2). “Who broke no promise, served no private end. Who gained no title, lost no friend.” “Chip” has been a member of the class for four years and in no way has he been a liability. What higher praise could be given him? MARJORIE LEE BLAIR “Margie” Age 17; weight 110; height 5 feet, 6J4 inches.

Regard¬ less of your trouble she will either help you out, or laugh you out of it. Always the center of a or laugh you out of it. As to versatility of achievement, the records bear witness to her athletics, the teachers to her charm, her numer¬ ous friends to her congeniality, and this volume of The Reflector to her literary ability. rr, or « Page Eighteen . VIRGINIA CARSON Virginia” Age 18; weight 122; height 5 feet, 7 inches. Activities: Athletic Association (2), (3): Liter¬ ary Society (1), (2); Folk Dancing (2). Contented and happy, from care I’m free.” Virginia has the enviable faculty of enjoying herself anywhere. And she always does her work, too. It is an unusual combination. We prophecy success for anybody possessing it. Luck to you. Virginia! Page Nineteen aSiii O. THE 1923 REFLECTOR ® ADDIE OLIVER BROWN Addie Age 18; weight 108; height 5 feet, 2 inches. Activities: Associaton of Athletics (4); Dramatic Club (4); Hi Collect (4); (I lee Club (4). With a writhing, serpentive movement.” Addie is the I’avlowa of class. She trips the light fantastic” in any shape or form, whenever the opportunity offers. There s no denying that Addie looks like a vamp (and who wants to deny it?) But appearances are deceiving for nobody could be more straightforward and attractive in every way than Addie. ARVID CARLSON Doc” Age 18; weight 144; height 5 feet, 10 inches. Activities: Literary Society (2): Secretary of Class (4); Science Club (4); Athletic Asso¬ ciation (2), (3), (4). Plays the game, and knows the limit. Yet he gets all there is in it.” Arvid, otherwise known as Doc,” is one of the most popular boys of the class. Arvid pos¬ sesses a wonderful trait, the ability to laugh at himself as well as at the other fellow. Doc” is one of the pillars of the class and can be counted on to do his part, because, he goes at his . work with a smile. His smile and ability will put him where he belongs—well on the road to success. r.

Marjorie’s sweet disposition, rosy cheeks and innocent look have carried her sailing through the four years of her high school life. Her re¬ markable facility for getting on the good side of the teachers has led many to dub her “teach¬ er’s pet.” In fact, she has made an enviable record, not only in grades but in many other phases of activity. MARY ELIZABETH CHETTY ‘Chet Age 17; weight 145; height 5 feet. 5 inches. Activiies: Literary Society (2): Athletic sso- ciation (1). (2), (3), (4); Hiking Club (3); Hi-Collect (dub (3). The blue of her eyes and the gold of her hair Are blend of the western sky. “Chet was voted the laziest girl in the Junior Class, but it was rank slander. The notoriously ignorant mob was. as usual, misinformed. Br Chet nevei tears hei haii oi goes into hysterics, they think she’s lazy. But she’s al¬ ways there with the goods, and generally with Ruth Hard.ng. HELEN ELIZABETH CLAPP “Hec Age 17; weight 138; height 5 feet, 4 inches. Activities: Athletic ssociation (1), (2), (3), (4); President of Athletic Council (4); Ten¬ nis Team (4); Class Basketball 12). (3), (4); Varsity Basketball (4); Vice-President Girls’ Athletic Association; Manager Girls ' Basket¬ ball Team (4); Athletic Editor High Life (4); Latin Club (4); Monogram Club (4); Liter¬ ary Society (2); Tennis Champion Doubles (4). She gave her hair to the winds to scatter. Hec is always good-natured. Even in a basketball game, in which she generally stars, her cheerful grin never disappears. The same may be said for her in a tennis game. She has the rare ability of both losing and winning grace¬ fully. “Sportsmanship’’ is her motto and she lives up to it to the last word. THE 1923 REFLECTOR HERBERT COE “Herk” Age 17; weight 148; height 5 feet, 10 inches. Activities: Literary Society (1); Biology Club of 1920-21 (1); Literary Society 1920-21 (2),; Science Club 1921-22 (3); Science Club 1922- 23 (4); Torch Light Society 1922-23 (4); Track Team 1922-23 (4); Class Football 1921- 22 ( 2 ). “A quiet diligent worker.” He is the boy of whom Miss Summerell said: ‘‘He can do it, if it is more than anyone else is doing.’’ He can even take seven subjects in six periods and do so well on them as to make Torch Light Society—but his special is Physics. Herbert will make good. JAMES HERBERT COLE, JR. ’’Babe” Age 18; weight 155; height 5 feet, 8 inches. Activities: Football Squad 1921, 1922; Class Football 1921; Track Team 1919, 1920. 1921; Athletic Association 1919. 1920, 2921. 1922; Bovs ' Literary Society 1919. 1920; Monogram Club 1921. 1922. “Thy modesty is a candle to thy merit.” Herbert is very studious. If you go to the library in study period Herbert is always there, deeply engrossed in a book. He is not seen very much with the other students, seeming to prefer quiet solitude to the “merry party.” This quality, however, seems to have been a great asset to Herbert, as we have circumstantial evi¬ dence that he passed six subjects last semester. MACON CRAWFORD COMER Age 18; weight 140; height 5 feet, 8 2 inches. Activities: Annual Staff—Athletic Editor (4); Science Club (3), (4); Hi-Y Club (4): Ath¬ letic Association (3), (4); Class Basketball (4). “It’s a great plague to be too handsome a man.” M. C. is a quiet ( ?), good natured fellow who refrains from all association with the ladies? ? ? He is the only “(ieorgia Cracker” we can boast of and he certainly makes up for the scarcity. His greatest charm, the girls think, is his perma¬ nent wave, which is at once the envy and despair of every one in class. Page Twenty-one WALTER COX, Four Hundred’ Age 18; weight 150; height 5 feet, 8 inches. Activities: Athletic Association (1), (2), (.1), (4); Baseball Squad (2), (3), (4); basket¬ ball Squad (1). (2), (3), (4); Science Club (3) ; Literary Society (2). “ ' Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.” Walter ' s head will always be a bright spot in the memory of his classmates thanks to Four Hundred A” automobile oil. His pompadour is really a thing of beauty and a joy forever. Walter ' s always in a good humor and generally Page Twenty-two m k- THE 1923 REFLECTOR NORMAN C. COOPER Coop Age 18; weight 155; height 5 feet, 9 inches. Activities: Athletic Association (1), (2), (3), (4); Literary Society (1); Secretary Class (1); Dramatic Club (2), (3), (4); Football Squad (2); Class Football (3); Manager Var¬ sity Football (4); Spanish Club (3); Science ( lub (2); Assistant Business Manager Re¬ flector (4) ; Monogram Club (3), (4). A lion among the ladies is a dreadful thing.” “Coop” turned his energies to bridge-playing rather than to geometry. But he proved his loyalty to the high school by managing the var¬ sity football team (successfully) for two years. He is prominent in all activities. MARY ELIZABETH COTHRAN Mary Age 16; weight 105; height 5 feet, 6 inches. Her eyes are stars of twilight fair, Like twilight, too, her dusky hair.” Mary has made many friends since she came to us this year. Nor are they all of the fair sex. Boys, beware of those eyes. What it takes to make a real vamp. Mary has it. We greatly fear that Mary will smash all previous co-ed records at Carolina next year. Page Twenty-three 8s 1 1 THE 1923 REFLECTOR WILLIE CATHARINE COX “Catharine” Age 17; weight 98; height 5 feet, 2 inches. Activities: Glee Club (1), (2), (3), (4); Ath¬ letic Association (1), (2), (3), (4); Stringers (4) ; Poetry Club (4). “Where there’s a will there’s a way.” Catharine has the foregoing as her motto and lives up to it. She passes si subjects as easily, apparently as the rest of us pass four. Never a groan do we hear from her, and, most wonder¬ ful of all. she’s not very proud of herself. Would there were more like her! ROBERT RICHARD CRABTREE “Dick” Age 17; weight 135; height 5 feet, 8 inches. Activities: l.iterarv Society (1), (2); Dramatic Club (4); Science Club (2), (4); President of the Class (2) ; Assistant Manager Foot¬ ball; Athletic Association (1), (2), (3), (4). “Talking, he knew not why, and cared not what.” Dick is an inveterate ladies ' man. 11 is senior ring has known more than one lily white hand. He has the added (?) attraction of ,a large sup¬ ply of wit and the manners of a Chesterfield— when he wants to use them. Dick is a thor¬ oughly good sport, in the best sense of the word. EVANGELINE DANIELS “Evangeline” Age 18; weight 93; height 4 feet. 10 inches. Activities: Literary Society (2); Spanish Club (2); Glee Club (3); Athletic Association (3). To improve one’s mind—ah, that is a worthy ambition!” Evangeline is duty’s devoted servant. Other things simply don ' t enter into her calculations. She does what she ' s supposed to do and makes no complaint. Evangeline is also one of the most musical members of the class. Altogether she ' s a good citizen of Greensboro High School. ,7 THE 1923 REFLECTOR JOSEPHINE DAVANT Joe” ge 18: weight 104; height 5 feet, 4 inches. tlvities: Literary Society (2): Assistant Man¬ ager Basketball (2), (4); Glee Club (2). Have your convictions and stand firm. t on hardly every hear anything from Joe in class room, but Oh, what about athletics, cn you can always find her on the job, yell- for G. H. S. Not only in one sport, but in is she a valiant follower of the purple and CARMELL FERGUSON Parson Age 17; weight 105; height 5 feet, 3 inches.

And those who know thee know all words are BERTHA LEE FERREE Bertha Age 18: weight 120; height 5 feet, 6 inches. Activities: Anna Howard Shaw Literary So iety (1) , (2); Girls ' Athletic Association (1), 12). (2) , (4); Historian (2); Marshal 12); Torch Light Society (4); High Life Staff, Assistant Editor (4);’ Latin Club 14); French Club (4); Dramatic Club (4); Senior Supply Room Committee (4). “Fair of figure, fair of face, lacking in no good grace.” A girl who is attractive, mischievous and smart, a girl who is always ready to do her share of work for her school and one who does it cheerfully and to the best of her ability, no matter how hard or long the task may be that s Bertha. These characteristics, together with the fact that -lie has been chosen foi many high offices, let’s us truly say that she’s lacking in no good grace. Page Twenty-four r.i ' .uk THE 1923 REFLECTOR THELMA GULDMAR FLOYD “Thelma” Age 16; weight 118J4; height 5 feet, 6 inches. Activities: President of Latin Club (4); Vice- President Newswriting Club (4); Assistant Manager Girls’ Basketball (4); High Life Staff (4); Debating Club (3). (4); Literary Society (1), (2); Girls’ Athletic Association (1), (2), (3), (4); Spanish Club (2); Assist¬ ant Editor Spanish Column in High Life (2); Crazy Girls’ Club: Girls’ Council (4); Writer of Last Will and Testament (4). “If I have an opinion I speak it.” Thelma will make a good lawyer in the not so far distant future, for she excels in public speaking and is a shining light in the debating club. She has a way of driving to the very heart of a question and choosing the side she thinks is right. She, also, has the courage of her convictions and sticks by her side through thick and thin. DORA GOLDSTEIN “Dora” Age 16; weight 113; height 5 feet, 3 inches. Activities: Member Hiking Club (3); Literary Society (2) : Volleyball Team (2) ; Athletic Association (3): 11 i - Collect Club (3). A perfect woman, nobly painted.” Dora was one of us at the bright beginning and she remained one of us ’til the bitter end. We know that she always will be one of us as far as loyalty is concerned. BRUCE GREENE “Willie” Age 18; weight 170; height 5 feet, 10 inches. Activities: Baseball (1), (2), (3), (4); Cap¬ tain (3), (4); Football (2), (3), (4); Cap¬ tain (3), (4); Athletic Association (1), (2), (3), (4); President (4); Monogram Club (2), (3) . (4); Vice-president (3); President (4); Basketball Squad (2), (3); Class Basketball (4) ; Captain (4); Literary Society (2), (3). “He’s a wonder, he ' s a dream, He s the captain of our team.” It would be more accurate to say Willie is captain of our teams. But his most flattering array of honors has not spoiled him a bit. There is not a less conceited person in high school. His modesty, however, has not prevented him from doing a very great deal fcr his school. He is equally popular with boys, gills, and teachers. It wishes were boys like Willie, we ' d have a whole high school full. Page Twenty-five v. f THE 1923 REFLECTOR W! ; y . ' C k Tty ! GATHERINE GREGORY “Kat” Age 17; weight 124; height 5 feet, 4 inches.

Not only is she a fine student, hut she has been known to handle delicate situations with rare finenesse. Though possessed (if a large following among the “mere men” of the class, she is able, at times, to so far neglect them as to follow the call of the muses. She is a lovable, attractive pal, of whose friendship anyone might well be proud. RUTH B. HARDING “Ruth” Age 17; weight 125; height 5 feet, 7 inches. Activities: Athletic Association (3), (4); Glee Club (-) ; Hi-Collect Club (3). “I laugh for hope hath a happy place with me.” “Giggle! Giggle! here comes Ruth. She seems to have a monopoly on them. We can’t imagine Ruth being serious. We ' re sure the I. 13’s, whatever that is, could not have existed without Ruth! MARY LUCILE HART “Lucile” Age 17; weight 94; height 5 feet, 1 inch. Activities: Debating Club (4); Latin Club (4): Science Club (4). “I slept and dreamed that life was beauty. I woke and found it duty.” One cannot imagine Lucile with her lessons unprepared. Very often has she astonished the Latin Class with her flowery translations. We have but one thing to regret, and that is she came to us in our Senior year; ' 23 likes you, Lucile. Page Ttventy-seven THE 1923 REFLECTOR CLARICE RAMSEY HINES Clarice” Age 16; weight 138; height 5 feet, 3 inches. Activities; Literary Society (2); Commercial Club (3), (4); Science Club (2); Athletic Association (1), (2), (3), (4). Act—act in the living present.” Clarice doesn ' t advertise herself at all, but those in her classes know that she is one of the smartest and best students in the Senior Class. Clarice doesn’t fly around at the last minute pale and haggard, trying to get up late lessons. She is always serene and smiling with the conscious¬ ness of work well done. CLARENCE HOBBS Clarence Activities: Boys ' Athletic Association; Physics- Chemistry Club; Literary Society. Ye Gods. I am vamped again. We don ' t believe Clarence hates it as bad as he seems to, but with all his “ladies-man-ness, lie is quite apt at manual arts. Some new carved dice or peach seed graces the end of his watch chain every day. Clarence seems everywhere in his little skeeter, which, if we are not mistaken, lie made himself. We are sure that some day he will outclass Woolworth or even Ford him¬ self. FRANK HOBBS Frank Age 17: weight 145; height 5 feet, 11 inches. Activities: Athletic Association (2), (3), (4): Football (4); Class Basketball (4); Track (3) ; Literary Society (2). Thinking is but an idle waste of thought. Tho’ Frank doesn’t use his brain very much we do not intend to imply that he hasn’t one. He does have a brain and a very good one too. as evidenced by the witty remarks he sometimes utters on class. Frank has always been an ardent devotee of basketball and he has been quite a success in the class series. THE 1923 REFLECTOR RUTH ELIZABETH “Ruth” Age 17; weight 150; height 5 feet, 7 inches. Activities: Literary Society (1); Athletic Asso¬ ciation (1); Glee Club (4). A good heart is worth gold.” Ruth is one of the very few blessed with an even temper. Like all those so favored, she gets along remarkably well. She never has been known to “fly off the handle.” She pursues the even tenor of her ways, absolutely unruffled by the things that send the rest of us into fits. CATHERINE HOBGOOD “Catherine” Age 18; weight 122; height 5 feet, 7 inches. Activities: Athletic Association (2), (3). (4); Literary Society (2), (3); Science C lub (1); Basketball Squad (1); Volleyball (3). “Still rivers run deep.” Catherine lives on the principle that children (including all school girls up to twenty years of age) should be seen and not heard, except when called on by a teacher. Then, says she. they should be heard as long as they have anything to say. Catherine acts accordingly and her grades testify to the fact that when she does say something it is the right thing. WILBUR LEEROY HODGKIN “Wilbur” Age 18; weight 120; height 5 feet, 6J4 inches. Activities: Hi-Collect Club (2); Class Poet; Wilsonian Literary Society; Science Club (3); Short Story Club (4); Debating Club (4); French Club (4); Class Song Writer (4); Glee Club (4). “What harmony is this. My good friends hark!” Wilbur is blessed (?) with an artistic tempera¬ ment. His contributions to his class are both poetic and musical. It will be many years be¬ fore his friends forget that crowning achievement “Just a Sophomore. Our appreciation will al¬ ways follow him. MARY CAROLYN HUNTER “Mary” Age 16; weight 120; height 5 feet, 2 inches. Activities: Literary Society (2); Hiking Cluh (3) ; Science Club (3) ; Athletic Association (3), (4); Volleyball (3). “Her ways are ways of pleasantness and all her paths are peace.” Mary always has a cheerful word to say. She never seems “ruffled” or worried over things she cannot help. She is always willing to help those who are in trouble. It will be very hard to for¬ get one who does as many kind things as Mary. ROBERT EMMETT IRVIN. JR. “Bob” Age 19; weight 152; height 5 feet, 11 inches.

Through long practice Robert has at last learned to do the impossible—keep order in a class meeting. Robert has distinguished himself in every line of school activities. lie is everything a member of the high school ought to be. We are expecting something big from him in the future.

Activities: Wilsonian Literature Society (1); Treasurer Wilsonian Literature Society (2) ; Class Tennis (3); Football (3), (4); High Life Staff (3); “Hi-Y” Club (2), (3), (4). “Indifferent as Socrates.” In truth, “Fatty” is indifferent, except when it comes to sports. His football record is re¬ markable. Beginning in his senior year, abso¬ lutely inexperienced, he made one of the best tackles in the state. His abilitv in basketball is not a thing to be sniffed at. He will leave a big (very big) hole in the athletics of the school. THE 1923 REFLECTOR RUTH CONSTANCE JAMES Ruth” Age 16; weight 136; height 5 feet, 8 inches. Activities: Science Club (4); Latin Club (4); Debating Club (4). “Sagacious, bold, and turbulent wit.” Ruth who came to us in our Senior year is one of the brightest girls in the class. She liter¬ ally shines in chemistry. Problems which seem impossible to others pass away into insignificance when her mind seeks the root of the trouble. Ruth has been one of the most valuable mem¬ bers of the class of ’23. WILSIE JOBE “Wilsie” inches.

She ever spends her lunch period work¬ ing geometry. She is very quiet, believing that “actions speak louder than words.” Lillian is always pleasant and agreeable to everyone who crosses her path. With her great musical talent we believe that she will be a great success along this line. ANNIE LEE KEITH “Lee” Age 16; weight 107; height 5 feet, 7 inches.

If you want a boy who is always on the job see Julian. If you want a boy who is good looking—see Julian. If you want a boy who is quiet and unobstrusive—see Julian. If you want a boy who is always ready to push and boost good things—see Julian. If you want a hot-dog—see Julian! r THE 1923 REFLECTOR EUGENIA MADELINE LITTLE “Leine” Age 18; weight 100; height 5 feet, 2 inches. Activities: Literary Society (2); Commercial Club (3). (4); Hi-Collect Club (2); Type¬ writing Contest (4). “Speech is silver, silence is golden.” Madeline never complains of the amount of work that she has to do. Her love of good Looks leads her into various channels of knowl¬ edge. Whether it be Homer or Snappy Stories, she always has her nose hidden in a book. Some folks think this is for an economic pur¬ pose, namely: the conservation of cosmetics. NANCY LATTER LITTLE “Nanc” Age 17; weight 119; height 5 feet, 6 J 2 inches.

Her disposition is an April affair—all sunshine with occasional storms, which only serve to make the sunshine brighter. She claims the distinction of having the very bluest eyes in the class and her large circle of friends testify that she uses them to the best advantage. HARVEY ALBERT LJUNG “Venus” Age —; weight 135; height 5 feet, 9] 2 inches. Activities: President Science Club (4); ice- Lresident French Club (4); Athletic Associa¬ tion (1), (2), (3), (4); Literary Society ( 1 ), (2), (3); Track Squad (2); Junior Class Basketball (3) ; Basketball Squad (4). “A man’s education is begun three hundred and fifty years before he is born.” Harvey ' s reseml lance to the “Goddess of Beauty” is rather hard to spot. But he does look like the son of a “Viking.” He says he’s descended from a whole line of them. Well, he is a credit to his ancestors. His two strong points are Chemistry and Romance. We con¬ gratulate him on the first and wish him luck in the second. THE 1923 REFLECTOR if CELIA KATHRYN MANN “Kat” Age 18; weight 118; height 5 feet, 4 inches.

Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. Kat is one of those people who is always willing to do her share and a little bit more. Here’s hoping that all the good times she ' s given to other people will I e returned to her, doubled and redoubled ! HELEN LOUISE MENDENHALL “Helen” Age 17; weight 133; height 5 feet, 5 inches. Activities: Athletic Association (1), (2), (3), (4): Literary Society (3); Hiking Club (4); Volleyball (4); Latin Club (4). Competent, helpful, never blue her virtues are many, her faults are few.” It is said that Helen burns the mid-night oil. but whether this is to acquire the perfect lessons which she always has, or for some entirely dif¬ ferent reason, we are not prepared to state. The fact remains, however, that Helen does pass her work and that she does not study on week-end nights. ALICE ELIZABETH MANN Tibbie” Age 16; weight 95; height 4 feet, 8 inches.

She’s a good friend to whoever happens to sit across the aisle from her. She is absolutely unaffected and unassuming and these qualities have won her friends all through her high-school career.

But none so black as mine.” To know Rebekah is to be entertained ; and the better one knows her, the more interesting she proves. More than once has she whiled away weary time by her ability to mimic both teachers and classmates. When she condescend , to study she ' s plumb good. Most of her spare time is taken up making male hearts flutter. A loyal supporter of G. H. S. to whom every one wishes good luck.

If looking wise would make one wise He would be wise indeed. Tom’s about si feet of bone, mostly. No, the upper six inches isn’t bone, nor is it ivory or wood—it’s brain. And he uses it, too. lies just the best kind of friend to have, for he will help you with anythin he can, be it history or math. His glasses and long face make him look like a professor or something, but he isn’t. We all like him.

Although she doesn ' t talk much we know there is a great deal worth while in her. It is not only in “business that she ex¬ cels, but in basketball as well.

She is a most promising young ladv. Her friends are alter¬ nately overjoyed at her hint of parties to come and plunge into despair over their lack of ful¬ fillment, but this small fault is out-weighed by her never-failing good humor. There is no girl in the class who has more friends. MARGARET GRACE PATTERSON “Peggy Age 17; weight 130; height 5 feet, 4J-4 inches.

In diligent pursuit of this object she may be found almost any afternoon at the Y. W. C. A. thread¬ ing her tortuous way through the intricate mazes of the “Swan Dance.’ Let us hope that “Peggy will not yield to temptation (?) and abandon her career for a bungalow and an apron. DAVID ALEXANDRA PURCELL “Percy” Age 13. weight 150; height 5 feet, 11 inches. Activities: Athletic Association (2), (3), (4); Treasurer of Science Club (3). “A handful of common sense is worth a bushel of learning.” How often we’ve stood aghast at the Chem¬ istry “Strawberry Blonde” knows. He’s pretty wicked in history and geometry. Percy is a dependable fellow. Keep up the good work, we’re betting on you.

These, together with her big brown eyes have won her a large number of friends. One often sees her rushing to the library with an armful of ponderous note books. “Pat” sails right through senior history with flying colors. Although her schedule is rather heavy she always finds time to serve for “High Life.” PAULINE PLEASANTS “Polly” Age 18; weight 101; height 5 feet, 2 inches. Activities: Literary Society (3); Athletic Asso¬ ciation (3), (4); Commercial Club (4); Type¬ writing Contest (4). “Tho’ little and wise, she ' s a terror for her size. “Polly” is a social success wherever she goes. She is a marvelous dancer and possesses a merry disposition and a quick tongue. The afore¬ mentioned quick tongue carries her through many a tight place.

Willie” doesn’t only work hard on his classes 1 ut he works on the athletic field. Everything is not serious with him though, for frequently he can “while away the time” even on class. • . • • JOHN H. SIKES Age 18; weight 168; height 5 feet, ] z inches.

My heart leaps up when I behold a female in the street. Amiable, likable, irresistible—that ' s John. His greatest fault is writing love-letters on class and if anything further needs to be related we refer you to the recipient of said love-letters. At all times John is very much in demand, and if he should ever be on the missing list you could find him “hanging out either at “G. C.’ or “N. C. C. W.

Nor only does “Lib” know how to lose, but better still she is able to win, again and again, without crowing. She is very consistent, in that everything she does, she does with her whole generous heart. When she takes the trouble to study she achieves brilliancy. Her executive ability was shown in the business-like way she managed the Junior-Senior banquet. As to loy¬ alty, Lib ' is chock-full of it. Her enthusi¬ astic voice is always heard at football games rooting for her team.

It is said that she is the most studious in the class, but if so it is without studying. “Smith’s only fault is her love of talking.

Margaret gets ood marks when she studies, but she hates to study. % I V-dte aS l I usual, “Beneath that calm exterior there lies a heap of deviltry.” WILEY SWIFT “Mocking Bird Wiley considers it an honor to be Buster ' s bi other.

In the usual manner we were all herded into the chapel. There in his forceful way Professor Price explained to his flock the workings of the mystic courses. After this, we were assigned to the care of various teachers, some of whom were: Misses Mary Mitchell, Fannie Mitchell, Flossie Stout, Mrs. Sellars and Mr. Woods. We hardly recovered from the influenza epidemic and the mid-term exami¬ nations before we were forced to pick up our belongings and move to what we termed the “Barn.” This was a structure which had been erected at the back of the main building—to hold the Freshmen. Many of the important things which we did and said that year have been forgotten, but few of us will forget the “Art productions” in the form of his¬ tory maps contributed to Mr. W. M. York’s collection. We also remember with pride that it was in this year that the Freshmen organized the present Athletic Association, and that we became members of the different literary societies. At the close of our Freshmen year we left the “Barn to return to the main building. The change had a good effect on most of us. for we immediate¬ ly organized our class for the first time. I he result of this organization was a better class and more school spirit. For a good while chapel exercises had served as social and conversational hour, but with the realization of our Sophomore dignity, came the desire to remedy this fault, consequently we waged and won a war against such poor chapel conduct. This effort made us feel very self-satisfied and placid for not only had we done this thing but we had also taken a stand for a Student Government plan which had orginiated in the Senior Class. However, our righteousness had about given out, and to let off steam we went up to the new Y. Y. C. A. hut and had a grand and glorious party. Examinations again came and went, leaving us a better and wiser class. To celebrate this event we relieved our feelings by going on an old-fashioned picnic out at llamberger mill pond. m m y I ir . ' •v At the beginning of our Junior year we found our numbers so sadly depleted that it required only two session rooms to accommodate us. These were pre¬ sided over by two of our favorite teachers. Miss Jane Summered and Mr. Charles Phillips. Early in the fall we chose our officers and adopted as our motto. “Carry On”; as our flower, the daisy; and as our colors, gold and white. With such a motto as “Carry On before us we could hardly fail to bring credit to our class and to our school. Xot only did the Junior Football and Tennis Teams win the class champion- ship, but the Junior girls, also captured the basketball and tennis honors. these were only a few of the honors that came to the class of 1923 for in every way we were taking a larger part in school activities than ever before. Shortly after Christmas all sorts of ways and means were discussed concerning the Junior-Senior Banquet which was held at X. C. C. W. and proved a great success. Having journeyed through the first three years of High School, about 100 returned for our fourth year, thus acquiring that distinguished name and posi¬ tion of Seniors. Though our dignity sat ill upon us at first, we soon came to look unconcerned when a freshman stared at us with eyes wide with admiration. I hough many triumphs came during this year, they were mixed with graven responsibilities. Every one seemed to realize that this was the last year, and that he had to do his very best, so an air of seriousness, unknown before, per¬ vaded the atmosphere. It was our privilege to assume the management of the school publications High Life and the Reflector— and we feel sure that the work done on them was good. Another accomplishment of the Senior year was the founding of the Senior supply room. Besides the establishment of the Supply Room the Seniors have perfected a Student Cooperative form of government which is improving with usage. And now though we wish to go forth into a broader and fuller life, even this desired change has its sadness for all that we leave behind is a part of ourselves. And though we go far away to the high-ways and by-ways of life, the memories and hopes, the joys and griefs, the ambitions and achievements of 23 will always linger near the corner in our hearts, which we hold sacred to Greensboro High School.

SECTION 1 To the Faculty: Item 1. To Mr. G. B. Phillips, we do give and bequeath the following: first, the three underclasses, namely: Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors-— well-trained in the art of bluffing instructors; second, three buildings, namely: the two barns and the Brick Palace of Knowledge—all slightly used but, in the opinion of the taxpayers of the city, still in super-excellent condition; third, last but not least, our deepest appreciation for the splendid work he has done for us during the two and a half years he has been our principal. Item 2. To the athletic coaches, namely: Mr. J. M. McFadden (football), Mr. H. . Park and Miss Hornsberger (basketball), Mr. Charlie Phillips (base¬ ball and general manager of athleiics), Miss Adams and Mr. Hugh T.

Item 3. To Miss Killingsworth. our dean, we leave our sincere hopes for as marked a progress in high school girls ' ideals as have been made during her four years’ stay at G. H. S. Item 4. With Miss Summered, we leave our utmost appreciation for her ability to keep her head, not only in Latin class where a head is most needed, but at all places and at all times. Item 5. To Miss Dorsett we bequeath our firm conviction that she is one of the best debate coaches in the whole world and an English teacher who can Teach English. Item 6. With the remainder of the faculty we leave our heart-felt sympathy for coming years and our sincere hopes that they will not starve to death on their enormous incomes. SECTION II To the Classes: Item 1. To the Junior class we bequeath the following: firstly, our most prided characteristic—our dignity; secondly, the custody of the Supply Room; thirdly, the responsibilities and labors of the bi-monthly publications of High Life: fourthly, our lack of Senior privileges; fifthly, the right to strut around and have the green little Presides gaze in admiration at them and sigh: “Oh, to be a Seenyur.” W 1 M $ ! 7 1 i923 REFLECTOR Item 2. To the Sophomores we leave the duties of being the life of the school in the garb of Jolly Juniors together with the privilege of pulling off the long anticipated Junior-Senior reception. Item 3. To our Kid Brothers and Sisters (the Freshmen), we leave our timely admonition: “Hush, little Freshies, don’t you cry, for you may be a Seenyur in the sweet bye and bye.” Item 4. To the Class of 1950, we leave the yet-theoretical hope of their graduating in the new high school described in the fairy tales we heard a year or two ago. INDIVIDUAL WILL Item 1. Helen Clapp and Fred Turner leave their mutual admiration to Isabel Cone and “Doug Scales.

To any new members of next year’s senior class, Mary Lucille Hart and Ruth James bequeath their charming personalities which so quickly won for them the love and admiration of the Class of ’23. Item 9. Alex Stanford is kind hearted enough to lend part of his chief characteristic to some one and so he gives to Moulton Avery a portion of his well-known perseverance. Item 10. We hate to take away the biggest he-vamp in school so we leave Ikey Wrenn’s adorable eyes and “irresistible smile” to his best friend, Fred Bur¬ roughs. 11. Elizabeth Simpson, the bright light of the Senior Latin class. Jack Murray her fluent Virgil translations, an endowment which will appreciated during the forth coming year. 12.

The foregoing signed, sealed, published, and declared by said Seniors to be our last will and testament in the presence of ourselves, we scribble our signa¬ tures. THE SENIOR CLASS.

Treasurer There are some scenes too pathetic to describe, some pictures too pathetic to show, for the human heart cannot stand the repetition of a story or the sight of picture which has once brought tears to the eyes. It is with great trepidation that after several months, one musters up courage enough to give an account of an incident which transpired last September in Greensboro. Early in the morning of September the fifth there was seen going through the streets of Greensboro hundreds of happy faces—the sight of which touched the hardest heart that ever beat. Of course every one knew who they were and where they were going. It was the invincible army of school children marching to their training camp. Among the ranks were found Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen. It is the picture of the last group, l wish to give you—poor unfortunates! There were about three hundred of that army who enrolled as Freshmen in the fall of 1922. It was the largest class that had ever been at the High School in many respects. Many of the upper classmen have said that they were the greenest. After arriving at our destination, the High School, we were greeted by smiles that seemed to say “Poor Freshmen.” This increased our already very great fear and apprehension so it was with trembling knees and tearful eves that we entered the “Barns.” However our fears proved groundless, for we were met and welcomed by teachers who soon made us feel at home. But all unaware of our low estate in the “Barns” we set about learning each other and the ways of our High School. After we had spent about six weeks trying to accomplish this, we turned our attention to the task of organizing our class. For this purpose we ran a real election, having polls, registering for vot¬ ing and a direct primary. Through this plan we elected our officers. Clarence Page Seventy-one Of, 5$ 1 § |st TO fv?

We made a name for ourselves in athletics. In basketball, tennis, football, the freshmen had excel¬ lent teams. The girls of the Freshman class came out with flying colors in September Field Day. In the Debating Club, the Freshmen were found—in fact, there was no activity of the High School that Freshmen were not found— and a good record they made too! After the Christmas holidays our interest was stronger than ever—and the last lap was run with zeal, speed and accuracy. This is only a poor picture of the Class of 1926. As was said at the beginning some pictures are too pathetic to recall. I am sure this will bring to each reader the happy or other wise days of his Freshman year. After all, our year’s work has made us unite more of the lines we liked so much. When the one great scorer comes to write against your name, He writes not whether you won or lost but how you played the game.” The game for 1922- 1923 has been played and we claim a victory.

The members of the staff are numbered among the class officers and are elected by popular vote. The office of editor-in-chief is one of as much respon¬ sibility as any office in High School and the other staff positions are correspond¬ ingly important. The Reflector Staff of 1923 has done its best to discharge the duties which rest upon it and to make the 1923 Annual the finest ever published by the Greens¬ boro High School.

From our wee president, Clinton Jackson, who is known as the most energetic man in school, down to the illustrious Herbert Coe, we have strived to uphold the honor of our organization. Due to the fact that there are so many and so varied clubs and organizations here in the High School we have felt that we could best serve by having our members one hundred per cent. Honor Roll students. To this end we have confined our activities during the entire year. Page Eighty-four n ' w THE 1923 REFLECTOR THE 1923 REFLECTOR THE NEWS-WRITERS CLUB The News-Writers Club is an experiment this year, but it is believed that it will prove so helpful that is will become one of the permanent organizations of the school. It has used as a basis for its study a manual on newspaper writ¬ ing and a collection of typical newspaper articles. It has had as its main pur¬ poses to equip students to write for or edit High Life, and to stimulate those choosing journalism as a profession. Meetings have been held every two weeks, each member in his turn enter¬ taining the group in his home. Good-fellowship has been combined with serious study, and the members of the club have valued their membership highly. The officers were: Julian Johnston, President; Yvonne Stinnett, Vice-President; and Thoman Neal. Secretary-Treasurer.

Since its establishment this club has grown and flourished and has become one of the most beneficial organiza¬ tions in the High School—interest is never lacking. It is the express purpose of the Debating Club to extend and promote debat¬ ing within the school; put out a first class Triangular Debating Team, and to send representatives to the declamat ion contests at Wake Forest, Trinity and Guilford College. The Triangular Debating Team was chosen February 19 by the Committee of Faculty Advisers. The team was composed of Charles Lipscombe, William Neal, Lucile Boone and Moulton- Avery, with Elizabeth Simpson and William Sprinkle as alternates. The club of 1922-23 leaves to future members of the Debating Club its sincere hope for even better progress than heretofore attained. Page Eighty-six THE 1923 REFLECTOR THE SHORT STORY CLUBS The Short-Story Clubs were organized for the purpose of studying the prin¬ ciples of short-story writing in order to cultivate a taste for good stories and to discover and develop the latent talent of its members. The bi-weekly meet¬ ings, held each time at the home of a different member, have combined study with pleasure. The O. Henry Club, composed almost entirely of first semester Juniors, used Heydrick ' s ‘‘Types of the Short Story” as the basis of its study. Its officers were President, Leah Bowman; Secretary-Treasurer, Lucile Sharpe; Reporter, Troxel Reynolds. Miss Mary Richards Colvin was the faculty ad¬ viser. The other club, The Senior Short Story Club, used as its study guides Neal’s “Short Stories in the Making” and “Today’s Short Stories Analyzed.” The officers were President, Canned Ferguson; Secretary-Treasurer, Kathryn Mann; Reporter, John Sikes. Its faculty adviser was Y. A. Barton. Jr. gw THE 1923 REFLECTOR} LE CERCLE FRANCAIS A qiti vent, ricn nest impossible OFFICERS Mlle. Frances Thomas . President M. Harvey Ljung . Vice-President MllE.

Not a word of English is spoken from the time Mile. Thomas calls the meeting to order in French until it is adjourned. Every member becomes a real Frenchman at each meeting by answering to the roll call with a French proverb. Thus many worth while French proverbs have been memorized this year. Discussing various matters of business and making certain necessary announcements in French have been instructive, but the programs have been very entertaining as well as very beneficial. Many French songs, poems, stories, plays, and games have been presented with splendid results. Perhaps one of the most efficient productions of the year was the comedy, “Le Magasin de Poupee” composed by Mile. Frances Thomas and Mlle. Evelyn Trogdon, members of Mlle. Coleman’s French VI class. This attractive little play was presented at a Christmas program given by the Senior French classes. It displayed not only very accurate French pronunciation, but also the artistic talent possessed by these girls and boys, whom Mlle. Coleman had so judiciously trained. Another worthy feature of these meetings is the social hour held after the programs. Various French cookies, beverages, candies, etc., have been served in real French fashion, thus teaching French customs in a way that will not be forgot. Mlle. Pichot from North Carolina College for Women, who is an Exchange Student there from France has been of inexpressible value to the French Club. Her French is so musical and beautiful that every member has an earnest desire to speak just like she speaks. To her we owe our grateful appreciation for bringing so much of real Frances to us in such a simple and patient manner that every member has understood and enjoyed it. Page Eighty-nine THE 1923 REFLECTOR We dedicate this page to Mr. F. R. Casper, our friend and founder of the Hi-Y clubs in Greensboro. Hi-Y Club No. 1 is composed of the finest boys in the High School. The boys in this club have tried hard to live up to the ideals of Hi-Y: clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship, clean living and contagious Christian character. The boys in this club have as high averages in scholarship as any other group of boys in the school. Along with this, nearly everyone of them has succee ded in making a name for himself and his school in athletics. Our leader, Mr. Lee Edwards, is as fine a man as can be found anywhere. He is loved by all who come in contact with him, especially the boys. The roll is as follows: Fred Turner, president; Kenneth Williams, vice- president; Earl Sellers, secretary; Spencer Adams, treasurer; Norman Block, press reporter. Members, John Sikes, Ulton Hodgin, Charles Watson, Charles Harrison, Thomas Swift, Penn McIntosh, Norman Cooper, Clinton Jackson, M. C. Comer, Douglas Scales, Oscar Wrenn, David Thomas, Robert Wilkins, Fred Burroughs, Bruce Greene. Page Ninety THE 1923 REFLECTOR In October, 1922, Mr. Casper, the boy ' s Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., with the help of Mr. C. W. Phillips of the High School, selected twelve High School hoys to organize a Junior Hi-Y Cluh. The twelve boys assembled and had sup¬ per together. They asked eight other boys to join. Officers were elected and the club began running smoothly. This club stands for: clean speech, clean sporty, clean scholarship, clean living and contagious Christian character. A representative was sent to the Hi-Y convention in Concord. The two clubs combined and gave a “Mother-Son” banquet. This was the first of its kind in the city. There has been a social given to the boys’ girl friends. An attempt was made to get boys who were out of school back again. The club has also helped the “Y” in mission work and in various other ways. Under the leadership of Mr. Charles Phillips, the Junior Hi-Y assembles every Thursday night for supper. After supper Mr. Phillips gives a talk to the boys. The roll is as follows: Harry Neel, president; Norman Stone, vice-presi¬ dent; Merrimon Irvin, secretary; Rufus Little, treasurer; Members, Adam Clement, James McAllister, Maurice Turner, Elmer Shelton. Francis Brooks, Y. C. Coble, Ilarvy Ljung, Arthur Davant, Tyree Dillard, Edwin Lashley, Roger Haller, Earl Barger, Egbert Anderson, Troxel Reynolds, Broaddus David¬ son, William Neal. Page Ninety-one THE 1923 REFLECTOR BOYS ' MONOGRAM CLUB The Boys’ Monogram Club was organized in February, 1923. Bruce Green was elected President, Kenneth illiams, Vice-President, and Buster Swift, Secretary and Treasurer. At this meeting the boys decided to sell peanuts and Eskimo pies at the basketball game to be played that night with Reidsville. This plan was carried out, the boys made $21.50 and the club decided to use this money to pay for the pictures of the sponsors to go in the Annual. The purpose of this club is to organize all the letter men, and to aid and support all phases of athletic activity in the school. Page Nine-tivo THE 1923 REFLECTOR GIRLS ' MONOGRAM CLUB The Monogram Club has increased in number since last year. There are now somewhere around twenty-two wearing the “G.” This monogram stands for much work, it is almost impossible to get a “G” in one sport unless you wait several years to do it. And when you see a girl wearing a “G” you jnay know she is a good athlete. Points may be obtained from hiking, swimming horse¬ back riding, managing a canoe, tennis, folk dancing, training, field day and basketball. Most points are made in swimming. It takes 200 points to get a “G and it is very hard to get over 75 points in one sport a session, in many sports 50 is the maximum. The “G. X. C.” stands for twice everything the “G” stands for. It takes 400 points to obtain one of these. There are six in Greensboro High School now. Ten have been awarded to Greensboro; this number exceeds that of any other school in the state. Helen Clapp, Marjorie Pdair, Elizabeth Transou. Louise Smith, Eleanor Barton and Margaret Patterson are the wearers of the “G. X. C.” here. Several of the ten have been awarded stars, which come with every 100 points after you have obtained 400. Page Ninety-three jBSfin THE 1923 REFLECTOR HIKING CLUB . President Press Reporter ...Faculty Head Margaret Patterson Dorothy Albright - Miss Flora Detwiler Started two years ago, the Hiking Club has so continued to be one of the most important organizations in school from the standpoint of benefit derived. Practically every week this year the members have met and enjoyed several hours in the open together. There is hardly a hill or valley in the country around, that has not felt the tread of the hikers’ feet. And not only have they become more familiar and appreciative, with and of nature, but they have acquired points toward their monograms, for every mile which they hiked meant a point in the athletic point system. f. 1 $ OFFICERS Marjorie Cartland ..

Faculty Adviser The Poetry Club was a satisfying evidence of the love of the better and deeper things of life by a considerable number of the High School students. It was organized to enjoy good poetry of all kinds; to study the principles of poetry in order to develop a cultured literary taste; to practice in a simple way the art of versification; and to popularize poetry among the students of the school. In line with these purposes it published in Hii h Life at frequent inter¬ vals contemporary poems, which, in the opinion of the club, possessed unusual merit: the club also collected contemporary poems, which were typewritten and bound as a gift to the school library. Among the poets studied during the year were Alfred Noyes. Henry Van Dyke, T. A. Daly, Christopher Morley, J. C. McNeil, John Masefield, Madison Cawein. Edwin Arlington Robinson and Robert Frost.

The club meets informally every day at class period. Its business meetings and pro¬ grams are held once a month. All business is conducted in classical Latin, and as much of the program as possible is given in the same language. The programs are generally based on some holiday of the month in which they are held. The December Christmas program was one of the best. Probably the most amusing of the year, however, was the Valentine meeting. At this time the club witnessed a Latin version of Shakespeare’s terrible tragedy of Pyramus and Thisbe. In March the club put on a moving picture in chapel, “The Descent into Avernus.” It was of great benefit both to the management and the audience. For the one paid for its picture in the annual and the other had a glimpse of its future and learned what to expect. The club makes the study of Latin intensely interesting. It makes the language and the people who spoke it seem very much alive. Most of all it is an incentive to a further study of the classics. Paae Ninety-six THE 1923 REFLECTOR GIRLS ' COUNCIL Page Ninety-seven THE 1923 REFLECTOR HI-COLLECT ( HIKE AND COLLECT ) The Hi-Collect Club was organized three years ago. The purpose of this society is to create a greater interest in Science. The work of this society is to collect specimens of cocoons, trees, flowers and other things of interest, and to read magazines which tell of things in the world of Science. Members of the club frequently hike through the woods to obtain specimens. The club meets twice a month to render attractive programs in Science. The Hikollect Club includes all students of Biology. The officers consis, of President, Vice-President, Secretary, Chairman of the Program Committee, Chairman of the Point System Committee and Marshal. The various sectioi. meet at their own class period and each section has its own set of officers. The students vie with each other in the collection of specimens and prizes of Guide Books in Bird, Flower, Tree and Butterfly study are presented to the winners. Page Ninety-nine s THE 1923 REFLECTOR GLEE CLUB Aim: To instill into the hearts of the members of G. H. S. a deeper knowledge and love of music. To create an appreciation of all that is beautiful and inspiring. To broaden the avenue of enjoyment not for our members alone, but for the Student Body at large. Here in the realm of Music’s gentle Art Are strains to soothe and rest the tired heart. And lull the spirit with their tunes so clear And waken olden memories fond and dear.

The chief purpose of the club is to develop in its membership a genuine interest in and an appreciation of science. W ith this purpose in view the club has aimed to get able lecturers who are lead¬ ers in the scientific field to deliver lectures in the High School Auditorium. These lectures have been open to the public and have been largely attended. Plans are now being made for the club to hold regular bi-monthly meetings next year. Regular programs of experiments and reports of recent advances in chemistry and physics will be given by the students. These experiments will be novel enough to be interesting and worth while enough to be instructive. As an added feature at least two social functions will be given during the school year. It will be the policy of the club to continue to get able lecturers from the colleges in the state. Page One Hundred Three A V. THE 1923 REFLECTOR THE ORCHESTRA AND THE STRINGERS There were two organizations that did much to increase enthusiasm for music in the High School during the past session—the Stringers and the Orches¬ tra. The Stringers was composed of mandolin, guitar and ukelele players; the Orchestra was made up of violin, cornet, clarinet and saxaphone players. Both organizations contributed much to the enjoyment of the chapel exercises. The aim of both these groups was to improve in musical technique and taste. The citizens of Greensboro showed their interest and appreciation of the work of the organizations by inviting them to play on several occasions. Both clubs were directed by W. A.

It is composed of eleven mem¬ bers representing the various organizations and works along four lines: (1) to encourage high scholarship; (2) to uphold high standards of honor; (3) to increase the loyalty of the students and townspeople; (4) and to act as a medium of expression between the students and faculty. Although the Council has been in existence only a short while, its influence has been felt in a renewed “esprit de corps” throughout the whole student body. This is especially evident in gatherings in the auditorium and in public occasions. Also there has been a definite stand for honesty on examinations, and an insistent demand for regard for the property of others. The Faculty has found it very helpful to have the students’ point of view expressed through the Council. The charter members of this organization have ren¬ dered the school a distinct service in bringing in a new era of student responsibility and cooperation.

Reporter FACULTY ADVISERS Dolores Richards, Chairman Winifred Beckwith Ione Grogan LucilE Mercer Ruby Wine The aim of the club has been to carry on the excellent work begun by last year’s dramatic society. T he programs were planned with the idea of helping those students who wished (a) a history of drama: ( b) a knowledge of present-day tendencies in European as well as American theatres; (r) information concerning prominent actors and playwrights; (d) practice in reading: (cl a keener appreciation of plays seen on the stage; ( ) enough practical dramatics to assist in acquiring poise, confidence, adaptability, and interpretation of characters. Among the plays studied or presented were: Alice Gerstenberg, Overtones ; Lady Gregory; Spreading the News; Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest; Chas. Rann Kennedy, The Servant in the House: John Galsworthy, The Mob. The comedy. “What Happened to Jones,” by George H.

It is composed of prac¬ tically the entire student body—the basis upon which the individual belongs is the payment of a monthly fee of twenty-five cents which entitles him to admission to all athletic con¬ tests. This is a saving to the individual and a gain for the association. From the funds of the association all materials needed are supplied to all teams. The Athletic Council is the final authority in all matters relating to the finances. All athletic honors in the form of letters and trophies are awarded by the General Association to the individual. For the sake of a more practical working unit the General Association was here broken up into two group associations—one for the boys and one for the girls. In this way the actual athletic program suited to each group may be promoted. The Athletic Council is the uniting force which directs the whole program. It is composed of a faculty representative from each of the associations, the President of the General Association, the Presidents of each of the group associations and the General Secretary. The Principal is of course an ex-officio member of this Council. The work for the past year has been very successful from the standpoint of member¬ ship, and activities. The full hearted support of this phase of school life should be con¬ tinued. Page One Hundred Eleven THE 1923 REFLECTOR EDNA CORTLAND Foothall Sj) onsor Page One Hundred.

Through the coaches’ hard work, and the players’ willingness to learn, before the season ended, G. H. S. was represented as one of the best teams in the state, and had it not been for the hardest kind of luck it is certain that the Purple Whirlwind would have made a name for itself. Starting the season with only two letter men, Captain Green and Sellars, the team tackled some of the state’s leading elevens and made good showing against them all. The game played against Oak Ridge was the shining light of the season, the Institute eleven being recognized as one of the best in the state. G. H. S. promptly showed their ability by running up a score of 26 to 7. Throughout the entire season the team showed plenty of “pep,” and improved with every game. THE TEAM Norman Brock, Center Block is a tower of strength in the line. On the offense, when only a few yards were needed for first downs, and a run over center was called, Block could be depended on to make it possible to gain the necessary yards. On the defense, he could also be counted on to stop the plays coming his way. Fred Burroughs, End This is Fred’s first year on the regulars, but every one knows he has proved himself a good football player. Fred is a fellow that says little and does lots. He plays the game hard and fair and always delivers the goods when called on. Norman Cooper, Manager This is Cooper’s second year at managing the team. IIis ability as manager has been shown throughout the successful season. ‘‘Coop” is always on the job getting the best possible conditions for the team and looking after every need. Page One Hundred Fifteen E THE 1923 REFLECTOR man. He always played the game hard and fair, and we are glad to say that Earl will be with us again next year. Buster Swift, Quarterback Although this was Buster’s first year at running our team, he ran it like a veteran. “Bus” always runs the right play at the right time. This, together with his ability to pass accurately and to gain ground, made him one of the most important men in the season’s line-up. Oscar Wrf.nn, Left Guard Although this is “Ikey’s” first season of football, he is a great guard and a steady, calm worker. He was an exceedingly strong factor on the defense. Penn McIntosh, Fullback {All Southern) “Big Mac,” our husky fullback was without a doubt, one of the best line plungers in the South. W henever a few yards were needed for a first down, Mac could be depended on to gain the necessary ground and more. McIntosh was the only man in the state to be picked as “All Southern.” G. II. S., 0—Sanford, 6 In the first game of the season G. H. S. met a team that afterwards proved to be very much in the championship race by beating Fayetteville, Durham, and some of the other leading elevens. In this game, eight of the men in the G. H. S. line up played their first regular game of football. G. H. S. seemed to have as much strength as Sanford and the game would have probably resulted in a tie had not a Sanford back intercepted a forward pass and ran for the only touch¬ down of the game. In this game “Judge” Adams received injuries that kept him out of the game for the rest of the season. G. H. S., 0—Fayetteville, 12 The team made a very good showing on the gajne with the champions of 1921. The Purple Whirlwind played the Cumberland county lads off their feet in the first half and if the injuries to “The” W ' renn, “Hefty” McIntosh, and Page One Hundred Seventeen i (TV I I ; 1 ri 1., § r : :■ 4 ; r £ i923 REFLECTOR ‘‘Bobbie” Wilkins could have been barred it is very probable that they would have continued their spectacular playing in the second half. G. H. S., 0 —Winston, 42 In the game with our old rivals, Greensboro was outplayed all around by the yellow-jerseyed huskies of Winston. The game started with Greensboro outplaying the Winston lads in the first half, but because of their inability to maintain the pace set and because of Win¬ ston’s great reserve strength, G. H. S. was forced out of the limelight only to wait for another crack at their rivals. G. H. S„ 42— D. M. I., 0 At the start of this game Coach McFadden changed the line up of the team, shifting McIntosh and Sellars from the line to the backfield and Green from the backfield to the line, showing that G. H. S. had the players, but was playing them in the wrong positions. The new team showed that the Coach’s judgment 1 was right in making the change, by winning from D. M. I. by the overwhelming score of 42 to 0. G. H. S., 0—Oxford, 6 G. H. S. went into this game fully expecting a victory, not an easy one, however, but because an Oxford back intercepted a forward pass, and ran eighty yards for the only touchdown of the game, shows that their expectations were given a decided jolt. G. H. S., 13—Lincolnton, 6 1 he Lincolnton boys so surprised the locals by their touchdown in the first few minutes of play, that they were somewhat off their form for the first half, numerous fumbles being made in this period which kept G. H. S. from running up the score. G. H. S., 3—Winston, 28 In this game G. H. S. showed that they were a much improved team over the one that first met Winston. In the first half G. H. S. easily outplayed their Poge One Hundred Eighteen ' f THE 1923 REFLECTOR opponents, hut in the second period Winston ' s reserve strength turned the tide of victory in favor of Winston, after the local lads had disabled Winston’s first team. G. H. S.. 14—Elon- Scrubs, 19 With a number of first string men in the line up, the Elon scrubs outplayed G. H. S. during the first three periods of the game. After G. H. S.’s second team had played two quarters, the first team went in during the last. During this period G. H. S. showed their superior playing by making two touchdowns in the last five minutes of the game. G. H. S., 26—Oak Ridge, 6 The game with Oak Ridge was considered the shining light of the season. In this game G. H. S. upset all “dope” by running up a score of 26 to 6. Oak Ridge was considered one of the strongest teams in the state, and it was gener¬ ally considered to be a certain winner. Greensboro hit its top speed for the first time during the season, and by a great come-back during the second half, held the opponents to not a single first down and scored three touchdowns them¬ selves. The entire team played as a single man, and to this fact may be attributed the remarkable game which G. H. S. played. Monroe, 7—Greensboro, 6 W ithout meaning to detract in any way from the ability of the Monroe team, at no time during the year did the jinx which stayed with the G. H. S. team so consistently work any greater harm to the Purple Hurricane. G. H. S. was able to gain practically at will during the entire game, but over-anxiety on the part of the players when inside Monroe’s ten-yard line caused them to lose four touchdowns, and the game ended with Greensboro in possession of the ball on Monroe’s four-yard line with three downs left to take it over. Every man gave all he had, and the team played a truly great game, but the fates ruled otherwise, so Monroe was the winner. Page One Hundred Nineteen cv •v?

Tp ft CP THE 1923 REFLECTOR BASKETBALL SEASON, 1922- ' 23 At the end of the football season Coach Park issued a call for candidates for basketball and a squad of 64 men responded. Only one veteran of last year’s team remained, Captain Williams. 1 he fact that so many were inexperienced and practically every position was open gave the Varsity aspirants an assurance of a fine opportunity for making the team and competition was keen. Within a short preliminary period the squad was cut to about 12 men. Shortly following this Captain Williams found it necessary to drop basketball for this season and Earl Sellars was appointed to fill Captain “Knot’s” shoes. In the early part of the season Xeese’s Hall was secured for regular prac¬ tices. four of the important home games were played on that court. A rather heavy schedule for a novice team was planned and though the team worked well, it was an uphill climh. The series opened with a victory 1 Q to 8 over tlle Guilford College quintet. Then the team made a trip into foreign fields, playing four games in three days at Mooresville, Charlotte Kan¬ napolis, and Concord. Resulting in three defeats and one victory for the “Purple and Gold. Another trip followed the next week and then a series of games on the local courts. As a whole the season as far as scores against opponents were concerned did not show up well but the team did develop a fine defensive line and a good background of experience and training for the coming year. Not a player will be lost by graduation and the prospects for the next season are unusually good. 1 r m % §) $ Page One Hundred Twenty-o Basketball SyuAD THE 1923 REFLECTOR l age One Hundred Twenty-two li ' iSiitf 1 THE 1923 REFLECTOR BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Greensboro Greensboro Greensboro.

The team feels extremely fortunate in being able to count on Earl for next year. Charles Harrison, Forward It was prophesied last year that if Charles only had more of the bone muscle and strength that “Big Dan” had he would make one of the best forwards in the State. Charlie’s record this year fulfilled this prophecy. Buster Swift, Guard Here is a fellow who never misses a practice. One of Buster’s most noticeable traits is his even temper which he has never been known to lose. The forward who can get by Buster is some fellow! Norman Stone Norman is one of those calm level headed fellows who can be put in a game at any time and be relied upon to do the right thing at the right time. The way he has stuck to the team through thick and thin makes us feel that with his help our next year’s teatm will be a success. Franklin Goodwin, Center If Frank’s good work continues our next year’s team will have one of the best centers in the State. This is Franklin’s third year with the squad and he’s a stellar player. Fred Burrough’s, Forward This is Fred ' s first year with the team and he’s made good in the true sense of the word. His natural quickness and his keen eye have done much to make the team what it is. If he keeps up his present record he will be one of the mainstays of the team of ’24. Norman Block, Center-Manager “Lady” is without a doubt the best business manager we have. He pulls hard for the best possible conditions for his team and he has helped in every way to maintain the highest standards of sportsmanship. Block was voted the most influential boy in High School and there’s not a better fellow on the team.

The squad was mostly made up of Juniors and Seniors, with few exceptions. The total num¬ ber was 13. The girls contend that this is a lucky number. There were three practices a week, on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. From the very start the girls showed lots of enthusiasm and this helped make the team what it was. Eleven games were played during the season ; Greensboro losing two, and win¬ ning nine. Many of the games were pretty hard, but Greensboro came out on top. Every girl on the squad deserves mention when it comes to praising but as for individual praise there is little, not one of the players individually made the team; it was the squad together. The team work of the squad was at its best. The girls feel that the success of the schedule was due to the Manager, Helen Clapp. Helen was on hand always to attend to the business end of things and it might be added that Helen was one of the squad’s best guards. “Pete” Stinnette, the Captain, could not be passed over; the success of the squad in keeping its “pep” and enthusiasm is due to “Pete ' ’ always being on the job with a smile. From the looks of things for next year, the basketball team will be a suc¬ cess, with Margaret Meyers as captain, and I’attie Webb as manager. “Here’s to success for the coming year.” The coach, Miss Harnsberger, must not he forgotten. She is the best coach that the team has ever had. Though she put the squad through some gruelling practices, her cheery smile and good humor never failed. Her contagious enthu¬ siasm for basketball and all athletics encouraged and inspired the basketball team to do its best, and the best of the girls’ basketball team was the superlative plus. The subs, the girls who go cut to practice and sometimes never get in a game, are the making of any team. The subs for this team were the most faith¬ ful and conscientious workers in any phase of the school activities. If we can keep our coach, and most of the members of this year’s team we will have next year a better team, if possible, than the team of ’23.

The training started at tire first of March and by the time the Durham indoor meet came off the team was beginning to show some form, but owing to lack of experience they did not win any events. In this meet M. C. Comer, C. Anderson, Newell, H. Coe, Lewis, Wyrick, Thomas, E. Anderson, Ford and Whittington took part. Thomas, a promising sprinter, had the misfortune of springing a “Charley Horse” at this meet and it kept him out of the running until after the state meet. Following this came a meet at Charlotte which Greensboro lost. In this meet Comer took third in the hurdles and Haller fourth, Horney took third in the mile, Coe took third in the half, Wyrick took second in the 100 and 220 and E. Anderson took first in the 440 with Newell of Greensboro a close second. Goodwin took second in the Discus, the high jump, Lewis took third in the shot put and discus and second in the javelin throw. C. Anderson also took second in the pole vault. In the relay race Greensboro was defeated by a very small margin The Elon meet was as follows: 100-yard dash, Wyrick first. 220-yard dash, Wyrick first. Half-mile, Coe first. One mile, Horney first, and Shelton third. 440 E. Anderson second, Newell third. 120-yard hurdles, Haller second. Goodwin tied for fourth in the high jump, got third in the discus. The relay team composed of E. Anderson, Coe, Newell and Wyrick won. On April 12 Greensboro’s team composed of Newell (Captain), Comer, E. Anderson, Coe, Horney, Goodwin and Wyrick went to Chapel Hill for the State meet, Greensboro entered only the 440, half-mile, one mile, hurdles, high jump, discus and relay out of a possible 13 events. Wyrick won the 440 and Horney made fourth in the mile. Comer came to the semi-finals in the hurdles. Goodwin made a good showing in the field event but did not place. The relay team composed of E. Anderson, Newell, Coe and Wyrick took first place and thereby won the silver loving cup. Because of the track season not being over a complete report cannot be given. Three meets are yet to come. The Guilford meet at Guilford College April 21, a Triangular meet with High Point and Reidsville at Greensboro, April 28, and the Western North Carolina meet at Greensboro, May 5. The latter will be the biggest meet ever held in the state, about 200 contestants being entered. The Team is composed of Newell (Captain), who runs the 440 and the relay, Wyrick for the 100, 220, 440 and relay, Coe for the half mile and the relay, Comer for the hurdles, Horney and Shelton for the mile, E. Anderson for the half mile, the 440 and the relay, Goodwin for the high jump, the discus and the javelin, H. Lewis for the shot, javelin and broad jump, C. Anderson for the pole vault, Haller for the hurdles, David Thomas for the 100 and 220 and John Ford for the 100, 220 and shot. Besides these men we have, Hackney, Everett, Brooks, Pierce, Pritchett, Berrier, Smith, Elliot, Hodgin, Williams. The team has been especially faithful about attending practice and as many of them will be back next year a good team is expected. Page One Hundred Thirty-three ur .or •O; W M : k 5-: S3 I f THE 1923 REFLECTOR TENNIS The Boys’ Tennis team of Greensboro High School had a very successful season in 1922-23. In a tournament held during the month of September the following men made places on the team: William Scott, Frank Stone, Clarence Scott, Thomas King, Clement Penn and Charles Causey. There were three matches held during the fall semester, namely: Guilford College, Oak Ridge Institute, and Burlington High School. On October 6, the local players won from the Guilford College tennis team on the college courts, four matches to one. Bill Scott, Thomas King, Earl Barger, Clement Penn and Clarence Scott won their matches easily, while Frank Stone of Greensboro was outplayed by Benbow Merrimon, captain of the Guilford team. On October 11, the Oak Ridge team defeated the Greensboro boys on the local courts two matches to one. In the doubles match, Morton and Burns of Oak Ridge, defeated Bill Scott and Tom King 6 to 1; 6 to 4. Burns of Oak Ridge defeated Clarence Scott 6 to 4; 6 to 3. Sonte of Greensboro defeated Zackary of Oak Ridge 9 to 7; 6 to 3. Bill Scott and Scotty Morton fought to a tie. Burlington was defeated on October 13 by the score of five matches to none. Stone, C. Scott, V. Scott, Penn, Causey, and King were all victorious. Stone was the star of this tournament, defeating Sellars, the Burlington captain, 6 to 0; 6 to 1. At least seven matches will be played by the boys during the spring semester. The following schools have been booked for individual matches: Burlington, W inston, Lexington, Danville, Oak Ridge Institute, Guilford College, and the Carolina Freshmen. In addition to these matches, the Greensboro players will participate in the state meet to be held at Chapel Hill, April 12, 13 and likewise in the sectional tournament to be held in Greensboro, May 4 and 5. 1 $ C, Page One Hundred Thirty-five THE 1923 REFLECTOR JENNY LIND PENN Baseball Sponsor Page One Hundred Thirty-six BASEBALL SEASON, 1923 PERSONNEL, OF TEAM Mr. C.

All that is necessary ever is a “pepy” game with everybody pulling together. Nothing can stop the team under such conditions. Probably two of the best trips ever taken by G. H. S. Athletic teams have been made during the season. Manager Sikes arranged a four-day Eastern trip through the Eastern part of the State, which was made by automobile, and proved very successful and enjoyable. A second trip was made to Durham High School, Trinity College and N. C. State College. The two games with the college were rained out, but the boys made the trip just the same. The season is successful even though not a single game more is won.

Phillips, is president, is progressing marvelously. Many other schools from all parts of the state have taken up the trail blazed for them in 1921-22. The Charter has been drawn up and placed in each school, thus putting all on the same basis. Our Association has been run this year more smoothly than in preceding years. We owe this fact to Miss Mary Morrow, who is the faculty adviser, hinder her supervision the Girls’ Athletic Council has proved an asset. This Council is made up of the heads of Sports, the officers of the association and the faculty advisers. The Council has been divided into committees, the pro¬ gram, points, citizenship, and scholarship committees; giving to each member a separate and distinct job. The Point System, one of the many lines along which our school has grown more democratic, is marking splendidly. This system enables a girl to win her monogram after hard work in all lines of Athletics, thus making her a better all round girl. Many different phases of Athletics have been carried out. Two water meets, two Track meets and two Tennis Tournaments have been held. The Basketball season started with the Class games and later the varsity under Miss Grace Harnsberger had a very successful season. Miss Detwiler has kept up her good record with the Hiking Club and sixty-five girls have met the require¬ ments of the rules laid down by Miss Summered, in training. In all these ways and many others, girls work and play, making their bodies and characters stronger for it. Page One Hundred Forty-two THE 1923 REFLECTOR THE GIRLS ' ATHLETIC COUNCIL The efficiency with which the Girls ' Athletic Council has carried on its mani¬ fold and varied duties this year, has been noteworthy. This legislative, judicial, and advisory body has met each Thursday morning throughout the year, and through this group the girls physical work has been directed and inspired. Perhaps the most inconspicuous workers in High School Athletics are the two secretaries of the Council. Their books are second only in importance to the teacher’s record books, for they contain the individual record sheets for each girl of the association, showing points won and honors awarded. The Council is composed of the officers of the Girls’ Association, the Heads of Sports and the faculty advisors, as follows: . President Vice-President and Chairman of Council ... Secretary ...

This meet was represented by members of each class, Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen. Prior to the meet, practices were held in the afternoons for the contestants of the different classes. Elimination followed, and those representing their classes in the different events met their class opponents on the day of the meet. Points were given for the different activities and at the close of the meet it was found that the Freshman class had nosed its way to the head by a total of thirty points.

THE SHEIK ' S DAUGHTER It was the scene of such Oriental splen¬ dor as few are fortunate enough to see even once. The walls were made of pol¬ ished ivory which sloped inward and formed a perfect dome. From the very center hung a crystal chandelier, the light of which seemed almost super natural, with such an ineff able pink beauty did it gleam. Rich hangings of gold and silver adorned the walls. The floors were made of glass which glistened and sparkled. The effect was delicious. At one end of the room was a dainty throne of solid gold and seated thereon was an exquisite Prin¬ cess. A fairy like being she was, dainty, with a skin like rose petals, lips of cherry red, sparkling eyes of a deep blue color, and her hair was a mass of golden curls. Gazing at her one almost forgot the slen¬ der young prince who was kneeling at her little feet and whose lips were pressing tenderly against her tiny hands. Yet—Harken the Princess is about to speak! Her eyes darken with some mysterious hidden emotion, her dainty red lips open—ah, she speaks : “Why in Hell don’t you make this fool shave, Mike O’Sullivan, before you turn him loose to come in here and mouth all over me: I’ve stood a lot from you Art¬ less Picture Co., but I am through—con¬ tract or no contract! Page One Hundred Fifty-three THE 1923 REFLECTOR JC Kg? «j $3 THE END The curtain falls—The play is ended and now “behind the scenes” the staff of 1923 desires to express its deep appreciation to all those who have so gener¬ ously given of their time and their ability to the preparation and rendering of all that has met your view. To our faculty advisers, Miss Dorsett and Mr. Jen¬ nings, whose wisdom and experience in this particular work has been invaluable— and to other members of the faculty who in many ways have aided and encour¬ aged us. To the commercial club who so kindly and efficiently assisted in the preparation of our work for the press, and also to the business men of our city who by their ready responses have aided so materially in our advertising depart¬ ment. Though the work of the editors is now completed it is the earnest wish of every one that that 1923 Reflector shall labor in their stead to encourage and promote a deeper sense of loyalty and appreciation in their heart of every stu¬ dent, together with a greater zeal and lastin g devotion to all the interests of our beloved old G.
