J LJLjLaJC The Reflector 1926 Volume XV PUBLISHED BY THE JANUARY SENIOR CLASS OF GREENSBORO HIGH SCHOOL GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA Foreword Our friends who have known the Greensboro High School annual of other times will- doubtless at first, look upon this yearbook as the work either of a penurious or an egotistic class. We hope, however, that they will soon realize that such is not the case, but that rather we, hav¬ ing become infected with, the Coolidge economy-germ, have felt that we should cut down the cost of the annual. In order to do this we have entirely changed the make-up of the book—concentrating only upon senior interests and activities. In making such a change, we anticipate a good deal of criticism. We beg, however, that you be merci¬ ful and learn to love this as you did the former “Reflector.” It has been our aim to make this a true reflector of the last year of the class of 1926 in Greensboro High. As such only will we value it when, in later years, we turn through its pages to clear up some recollection of days that we remember as very happy ones. 2 Dedication To our friend, Miss Winifred Wilson Beckwith, who for the past three years has been the moving spirit in the publication of The Reflector,” who has been unsparing in the giving of her time and labor, and who has ever been ready to cooperate in all senior activities, we, the class of 1926, gratefully dedicate this yearbook.

Where we shall ride to fortune’s shore where fame is wont to play. But as we leave the harbor and on this journey start, We take our hopes, our fears, our dreams—we leave with you our heart— With you. our school, our harbor. Hear our sighs as we depart. So with youth’s eyes of faith and hope we fearlessly set sail To brave the fierce and raging storms of rain, and snow, and hail— Sometime we’ll have it smooth and cajm, more often storm and gale. Some day you may be proud of us, some far-off day—not soon. Yet fates will watch the set of sails—they’ll rock and stir, and croon, And in the dancing waves they’ll see us reaching toward the moon. 1.1 The Log of the Steamship “Parrotania” Helen Felder February, 1922— Today the “Parrotania” left port on her maiden trip, with Pilot Guy Phil¬ lips at the helm. This trip is to be a trial, a year’s tour in foreign waters. If all goes well, the ship will dock at home in February, 1923, for repairs. Some weeks later— Steward Comer reports that mutiny is brewing among the crew, because Second Mate Ilall has taken to pulling their hair when they disobey her. Several hours later— All’s well. First Mate Killingsworth has effected a compromise. The crew is again peaceful. Sometime in April— This morning the well-known island, Adoration, was sighted. The “Parrotania docked there for a few hours, merely long enough to take on supplies. As old a thing as the island is, it presents a curious aspect, even to seasoned travelers. At several points there are fantastic pinnacles, the abodes of those glorious beings called Seniors, who are silently worshipped by less fortunate fellows beneath their sphere. December, 1922— Throughout this month the ship has been wending her way among small groups of islands. The passengers have evinced a great many different emotions over these. When we neared the Isle of Mathematics, interest was quickly aroused by the sight of the little trees growing in queer shapes and producing peculiar fruit. Everything on this island was in the shape of some mathematical figure —trapezoid, triangle, rectangle, parallelogram, and so on. Early in February, 1923— Today M ' r. Frederick Archer, president of the Steamship Company, was on hand to greet the “Parrotania” when she docked at home port. Later in February, 1923— About noon today the ship sailed out on her second voyage with one change in the crew. As Second Mate, Miss Edna Tyre succeeds Miss Willie Hall. This trip promises to be as eventful as the first. Sometime late in May— Affairs on board are becoming strained. Flirtations and deeper affairs of the heart arc so prevalent on the ship that something must be done to relieve the tension. Notes accidentally dropped on deck are pounced upon and read by jealous persons, thereby causing an exceedingly strained situation. In fact, several of the passengers and sailors refuse to speak to each other. September, 1923— Last June Second Mate Tyre resigned her position on the “Parrotania” in favor of one on a smaller and more private barque on the Sea of Matrimony. C. B. Ilouck now has the berth of Second Mate. February, 1924— In home port again, we are preparing to leave on our third trip. If fortune favors, we will stop by Adoration Island. A few weeks later— The ship is now stationed at Port Adoration for the purpose of delivering an invitation to the lofty Seniors to be our guests at a banquet. They are expected to accept. March, 1924— The banquet was a huge success, most of the lefty pinnacle-dwellers being pres¬ ent. Even the high and mighty enjoyed themselves. September, 1924— Again the crew is changed. Miss Laura Tillett becoming Second Mate and Mr. Lee Edwards. Pilot. This last change is made on account of Mr. Guy Phillips promotion. December, 1924— Although it has not been customary hitherto to entertain more than one section of Seniors a year—for a group of them fall from their pinnacles in February just as do those in June—it devolves upon the ‘ Parrotania to give a second banquet aboard ship. The prospect is not unpleasant to the crew, for they arc not averse to a little fun once in a while. Preparations have been going for¬ ward for some time, and it is expected that tin 1 second banquet will rival the first in merriment. February, 192,1— After a successful entertainment the good ship is at anchor in the harbor at Adoration Island, biding its time. As soon as the present occupants leave tlv islands, there will be a concerted rush among the crew, each man trying to get himself a pinnacle. In the interim Sailor Dick Ziglar, with Boatswain W unsch s aid. is entertaining us with his interpretation of Tarkington’s “Seventeen. 17 September, 1925— The helm has passed into other hands, now that Pilot Edwards has been pro¬ moted. Mr. ( ' . W. Phillips has taken over the guiding of the ship. Also, First Mate Killingsworth has been transferred to another ship, Hiss Fannie Stai t Mitchell taking her position. Meanwhile, the ship lies anchored at Adoration Island for the greater part of the time, since the former occupants have vacated the place and willed it to the crew of the “Parrotania.” However, from time to time we make little jaunts. November, 1925— This month we were occupied in a visit to Activity Island, where football heroes, track athletes, journalists, novelists, etc., abound. Here all the latest publica¬ tions, especially “Homespun”, are printed while you wait. December, 1925— On the way back to home port we were in good spirits over having banqueted so royally aboard another ship; so we stopped at Santa ( laus home and saw old Santa and his wife. January, 1926— This month has been full of preparation; there lias been too much going on to record here. However, it might be well to say that, preparatory to our last voyage, we have inspected the ship from top to bottom. We are ready to sail. February, 1926— At last all are aboard and the goodbyes are said. We had hoped to have an entirely new ship; in fact, President Archer and Air. E. D. Broadhurst, chair¬ man of the company’s board of directors, had promised it; but we cannot wait for it any longer. A fourth deck has been added to the old ship, and it will suit the purpose. The ship “Parrotania” is going on her last voyage—where, she knows not; but she goes with the good will and blessings of all. 18 1 !) Shipwrecked! A Prophecy Cecile Lindau It was a typical February evening—just the same sort of day on v hich, twenty years previously, the class of ’26 had set sail. As we walked along the beach, Dick asked me about my high school days—he remembered that 1 had gone to G. H. S. when Greensboro, now the leading city of the South, was a big little town. He could not have spoken of a subject nearer my heart; so enthusiastically I began to tell him of my high school days. Hardly had I begun when Dick uttered an exclamation, a word—well a word which no gen¬ tleman would use unless he was extremely annoyed. I was bewildered. Never had Dick spoken such a word in my presence. 1 looked inquiringly, and Dick apologized. lie stooped to pick up the cause of his annoyance, which turned out to be a bottle not unlike a coca-cola bottle. Dick started to throw it back into the ocean which had washed it up; but the name on the bottle, Morris-Cola, reminded me of my old friend Kizzey Morris, and I at once became interested. Dick gave me the bottle which, try as 1 might, I could not open. Finally, how¬ ever, I managed to break the seal and discovered the following document. September, 1945. We, the members of the Class of 1926, after many storms and tempests, have finally landed on an island in the South Seas. We have had a rather hard journey, but aside from the fearful gale which caused our wreck, the few faint¬ ing spells of Inez Murray, and an occasional fight between the Crews sisters, there has been no cause for real worry. Thanks to the gallantry of the crew who put us in the first boats, not a single life was lost in. the w reck though at first it was feared that Jimmy Maus was drowned. However, it was dis¬ covered that he had merely fallen overboard in an attempt to get into the boat first; but he succeeded in swimming to the island. We have all been so happy on the island that at first we decided to let no one know of our fortune. However, we have reconsidered, and we beg that should anyone discover this paper, he will publish it, so that our friends ma know of our whereabouts. We also request that the bottle, in which this paper was placed, be given to Hal Benfield, that he may know that Miss Elizabeth Morris is president of the Morris-Cola t ompany, an organization which fai surpasses the Coca-Cola Company in America. We hope that we have been missed, yet trust that we have caused no anxiety. We are well and happy under the able leadership of Sammy Goode, who, due to the untiring efforts of Tammany Hall, an organization of former football heroes, was elected governor of the 20 island. True to his word, Sammy has never married, but is, nevertheless, the idol of all the spinsters on the island. Ilis right hand man, Marshall Campbell, also editor of the “Island News,” is married to the former Ruth Curtis, now a famous artist. Miss Elizabeth Crews, the Anna Howard Shaw of the island, is chief of police and has as her able assistant Mr. Raymond Bennett. .Mr. Bennett’s wife, nee Nelda Cox, has won not a little fame as chief librarian in the Talk-All-You- Want-To Library. Mrs. Bennett credits all her knowledge of library work lo her training in G. H. S. Mr. Lattis Johnson, superintendent of public schools, has announced that after the first of the year Mr. Robert Bishop, professor of mathematics, will succeed James Peterson as principal of the high school. Mr. Peterson feels that he cannot hold this office, and at the same time be poet laureate of the island. Miss Helen Felder, of Droopy Martin’s Scandals, has filed suit against Rov Smith, football coach, for breach of promise. Coach Smith is rather worried, because not long ago Dr. Edward MeNeeley, professor of philosophy, was arrested and given two years for the same offense. Miss Carolyn Simmons has recently opened a beauty parlor directly across from Joe Faulkner’s barber shop. Mr. Paul Scurloek, author and radio announcer, has dedicated his most recent book, “The Reward of Silence,” to Mrs. Chester Strader, nee Margaret Crews, wife of the wealthy chewing-gum manufacturer. James Mans, famous movie actor, is now starring in “The Man with the Trained Toe.” Mary Lyon, his leading lady, is one of tfy6 most popular actresses of the screen. Rev. Mr. John Betts, pastor of the Methodist Church, is being greatly crit¬ icized because he has joined Miss Mary Price’s dancing school. Mr. Betts declares that he has no intention of stopping, and says that furthermore he is Miss Price’s best pupil. Miss Dorothy Lea, thanks to Miss Inez Murray’s Vegetable Compound, has now passed the hundred and forty line, and is a farmerette, owning the largest orange grove on the island. Miss Murray herself is tight-rope walker in the Phillips Memorial Circus. Not only does she break the tightest ropes, but also the hearts of all the men who look upon her fair countenance. As Miss Murray holds a tiny parasol above her head while she balances on one foot on the rope, there is a dreamy look on her face—as though she were thinking perhaps of Bill, and—oh, well, most of the boys at Carolina. The writer of this paper is proud to have been one of Marvin Isley’s class¬ mates, when, on the opening night of the opera “Lohengrin,” Mr. Isley 21 attained the height of musical perfection in the rendition of the “Swan Song.” One of the most pleasing minor roles in the opera was taken by Miss Ger¬ trude Hobbs. Miss Ilobbs is a rather new figure in the musical world, but :t is expected that before long she will be taking leading roles. Troy Ziglar, commander of the Salvation Army, has petitioned Chief of Police Crews for the arrest of Elizabeth Umberger and Cecile Lindau, chorus girls, because they persuaded Irene Hester, one of his former members, to join their chorus. The island’s proudest possessions are Mike and Timothy, the adorable twin sons of Mr. and Mrs. Pat Kelly. Mrs. Kelly, nee lone Grogan, declares that were her boys girls, she would drown them. I smiled knowingly to Dick, placed the paper in the bottle, and gently, very gently, threw it back into the ocean. 90 k Senior Treasure Island 23 I The Last Will and Testament To Whom It May Concern: We, the first class of ’26, graduating from Central lli, City of Greensboro, County of Guilford, in State of North Carolina, realizing the dangers and discomforts which may be occasioned by a rough sea, excitable and chattering passenger ' s and a squawking mascot, and about to embark in our good ship “Parrotania, ” being in sound and sane minds, do hereby take this opportunity of calm and peace to bequeath our worldly possessions to our chosen heirs: ARTICLE I Item 1. To our beloved school we gladly leave our questionable record made during our four years within its walls. Item 2. We bequeath the dust which has rested for these many years oh our magnificent statues, and trust it will not be disturbed by those who fol¬ low in our footprints. ARTICLE II Item 1. To Mr. Archer we leave free tickets and passes to all the high school football and basketball games. Item 2.

Mitchell Ione Grogan LYON-SEC. 28 29 Student Council Greensboro High School, realizing the need of a greater cooperation between the faculty and the students, organized in 1922 the Student Cooperative Council. The purpose of this organization is expressed in detail in the opening para¬ graph of the constitution: “We, the student body of the Greensboro High School, in order to establish and maintain high standards of honor, encourage the loyal support of students and citizens, create a respect and ambition for higher scholastic attainments, and to provide a medium between students and faculty, do ordain and establish this constitution for the cooperative organiza¬ tion of the student body of the Greensboro High School.” The Student Council has gone far beyond the expectations of both the faculty and the students. It has carried out plans, regulated traffic in the halls, installed a higher sense of honor, and has helped to effect clean sportsmanship as nothing else has done. 30 “ Homespun” Staff In November, 1925, “Homespun” was first issued from the press and cir¬ culated among the students and patrons of G. H. S., causing much general inter¬ est. The previous efforts of the high school to secure a purely literary maga¬ zine have not been entirely successful; consequently, “Homespun” marks a new era in the literary development of Greensboro High School. The purpose of this publication is to set a high standard towards which all youthful writers shall strive, restricted only by constructive criticism. Mate¬ rial for the magazine is gathered from any and every student who wishes to contribute. “Homespun” is what its name indicates—raw literary fibers freshly picked and sorted, and brought together to make a fine product. 31 O.Lea S.Goode H.Smith TorcH L ight P«roason Society H.Felder RWhiitmoton M.Campbell TT ' .tV U 4 T v f Xo - 4 mu 0 3 , —n., wv. l P.Scur lock MLyoh ft. ti ki .■. ♦ 1 y r L toj,uJ h ' « A 4 l (j ' r 1 4 c «a 4 ; M Hood 32 fsuSL ( Q.

When the call was made for candidates a large number cf men responded. Some letter men were out and these did all they could to bring out the best in the new ones. There were two games played, one with the strong White Oak aggregation and one with Elon High School. In both games the G. H. S. boys showed their superiority, and finished with the large end of the score in their possession. The season, however, was interrupted, due to the fact that Mr. Parks and Mr. Phillips thought it a good idea, to have class basketball so as to have as many boys take part in some form of athletics as possible. After spending much time and trouble in arranging the schedule and other things, the boys failed to respond to the call and the plan fell through. The pre-season basketball squad then began again. The purpose of the pre-season basketball is to bring out the men who need to learn the game better, and get them in shape for the time when the real season opens. In the two games played every man showed up well.

S. did not win the championship, it had a very successful season. When practice started at the first of the year, prospects were not very bright, as the majoi ity of the candidates for the eleven were green material; but this green material had a willing spirit and a determination to play football. Coaches Fordham and Col- trane helped the boys to find themselves, and soon a smooth¬ running machine was being whipped into shape. Then the season opened with the first game with Leaksville. The team played eleven games, scoring a total of 164 points, the total of their rivals being 46 points. Greensboro won six games, tied two, and lost three. The team this year accom¬ plished much, in that it went farther in the race for the state title than any other football team from G. II. S„ with the exception of the team of ’20, which was within two games of the state title. This year’s squad also defeated High Point- This was the first time in two years that a Greensboro eleven had accomplished this feat. The team this year consisted of Henderson and Glascock, ends; Brown, B. Horney, (G. Horney), tackles; Petree and J. Watson, guards; Lipscomb, center; Smith, (Shelton), Strader, (Faulkner), halfbacks; Ha us, quarterback; and Watson (Capt.), fullback. Substitutes—Wimbish, Taylor, Burgess Wvrick and Cook.

The Hockey Team Our Hockey Team Always the Same — We Take Our Ideals Through Each Game In 1925 there appeared at G. H. S. a hockey team worthy of honorable men¬ tion. Good work was done the first year, but even more was accomplished this last season. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons each week about twenty- five girls piled in one car and rode over to the Mclver School field to practice this bloody game, called hockey. At the end of the season, almost everyone on the team had been injured, one girl being knocked unconscious. The team is in fine shape now, however, and those who do not graduate are ready to play next year. Dot Lea s fighting, Mary Lyon s dribbling, and Rachel Lipscomb’s quickness, were all factors in each game. Much work was taken to make this team what it is, however. Coaches and referees were continually heard yelling: “Dot Lea, stay in your place.” “Mary Lyon, where are you?” “Inez Murray, keep up with the ball.” “Elizabeth Crews! Rose Goodwin, some hard hits!” “Don’t let that ball by, Rachel!” When a game was played in another town, cars seemed impossible. When other teams played here, the field was so bad that it was a wonder that either team scored. Considering all the difficulties, especially that of getting girls out to practice, we think that our hockey team is the best in the state—we even defeated Winston in one game this year.

All during the training season a large group of girls from each class reported daily at the Y. W„ and worked to become more efficient in this sport. As this account goes to press, the class games are being played off; each individual team is fighting harder for class championship; and the outcome looks rather doubtful, perhaps leaning a little in favor of the juniors and seniors. From the interest and ability displayed in class basketball one would predict an eventful season for the Varsity Team. The girls have had excellent coach¬ ing; an invincible team should be the result. Certainly, if Captain Mary Tilley and Ruth Watson continue to cage balls as they have been doing in the class games, an overwhelming score should be the result in every game. Manager Hazel Brown and Coach Dry have planned a full schedule for the team, and the girls are just ready to win state championship.
