Foreword We are all dreamers. In our minds we dwell on things which are highly improbable. Sometimes, however, these fancies materialize—the Whirligig is an example: our stadium and new Alma Mater are examples—therefore we chose dreams as a theme for the first issue. We do not plan to stop dreaming. Who knows what more we might accomplish ? After the theme was chosen, our next problem was finding a name for our dream-come-true. The staff asked for help by holding a contest. From all the suggestions made by the interested student body we decided upon Whirligig as the perfect name. Our athletic teams are called the Whirlwinds; moreover, O’Henry, a favorite son of Greensboro, wrote a book entitled Whirligigs. When we consulted Webster for a definition of whirligig”, we found it to mean anything which rotates from a pivot, and Greensboro is the Pivot of the Piedmont. We are delighted to have hit upon Whirligig, a title so appropriate and attractive.

Through the last two decades we have lacked many things here at Greensbbro High School, some of which are still needed to nourish the growth of our school; but never, not even in the disrupted years of depression and war, have we lacked a responsible leader. With all the gratitude of which we, the students, are capable, we dedicate this first issue of the Whirligig to our industrious principal, Mr. A. P. Routh. It is he who, although he has chosen to remain in the background, played a large part in making the yearbook possible. He has concerned himself, however, not only with school spirit and the welfare of the students but also is prominent in all worth while civic and community affairs. Perhaps part of the credit for his success can be attributed to his charming wife and the happy home which they enjoy. By this dedication we wish to proclaim our appreciation of our good fortune. Mr. urn! Mrs. . 1. «« ffon A
