The High School News Vol. I. GOLDSBORO, N. C., MAY 22, 1925 No. 6. JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET BIG SUCCESS JUNIORS' PROVE TO BE EXCEL LENT HOSTS. The Junior-Senior Banquet of 1925 will live long in the heart of every person present. It is easy to describe the auditorium, beautifully decorated with pines and pink crepe paper peach trees, the lovely Japanese lanterns, the long tables with pink roses upon them,, the dainty programs^, hand- painted by the Juniors, the attractive W'aitresses in their flowerlike pink and green costumes, and the lovely dresses of the girls; but what words can de scribe the happiness and kindly feel ing present, which meant more to us than all the rest Almost every one admits that this was the best and most enjoyable ban quet ever held in G. H. S'. Of course the Juniors think this, and the Seniors really enjoyed it more this year, for they could look and listen and eat, while last year they were so worried over the success of the banquet, and so worn out from the hard labor of borrowingl dishes, table cloths and decorating the auditorium, and cook ing that they hardly felt like simply enjoying it. Haywood Lynch, as toastmaster, was the central figure of the evening. It is said that little men make great leaders; judging from Hayward’s .suc cess, they also make great toastmas ters. All the toasts made were as witty and original as could be. Miss Doub’s brief talk, using the names in the Junior Class Roll, made a big hit, and we were all close to shedding “Dewey” tears at the touching words of Clarence Daniels and Jonathan Jen kins, Junior and S'enior Class presi dents. The menu was in truth, “food for the Gods.” The following courses were served: Fruit Cocktail Chicken Croquettes, Rice and Gravy Garden Peas, Hot Rolls Stuffed Celery Congealed S'alad Cheese Straws Ice Cream and Cake Mints Punch The color scheme of pink and green was admirably carried out. During the entire entertainment, the idea of a farm was present. The sing ing of Walter Tudor, Howard Simmons and Eva Lee Deering, was, as always, enjoyed by everyone. A Fiddlers’ Con vention was held, William Toler w'as the first fiddler, and the same talented young man was also all the rest of the fiddlers at the Convention. Granger Hines played the harp and selec tions requested; he knew only one, but as the audience was not inclined to be musical, the selections (or rath er selection) played did not matter. Both of these features were very pop ular. Elizabeth Broadhurst, as a pink- clad country maid, won the audience by an attractive country dance. The auction sale, with the Right Honorable Arnold Borden, Esquire, as auctioneer, was funny from first to last. The chief bidders were Bessie Bp.rham, Elizabeth Dewey, Zelda Swin- s'on, Robert Yelverton, and Billy Best, and their chief rivals in the audience were Mr. James and Miss Wheeler. The next feature of the entertain ment was a short play. Fannie Willis was the story teller, and she selected several of our “stars” from the audi ence to take part. Georgia Margaret Lynch, as the bashful country girl was the main character in the drama. S’he was greatly disappointed because she was not allowed to take her cat upon the -'^atform, but of cotirse the company of John Spicer as the city sheik made up for this to a great de gree. Jonathan Jekins and , Edwin Crow as father and prea'cher respec tively, also gave excellent perform ances. Miss McCain, Miss Ipock, Mr. James, and Mr. King proved them selves to be real dancers, in an im- promtu square dance. The radio concert was probably the best and most original number on the program. Under the name of “News from the city,” we received news and gossip about the Seniors from all parts of the globe. Stations G. H. S., B. U. D., and others were broadcasting. The radio was perfect, even to the static; W3 don’t understand yet how Mr. Or- mcnd, Clarence Daniels, and Marvin Sherard could acquit themselves so well. It is too much to try to crowd all the fun, and toasts, and bright remarks that were made into one article. I can only say that the banquet was per fect. S’ince the banquet, however, several questions have been asked, and are still unanswered; for the good of the school, we ask you— Whom did Jonathan Jenkins bring? and just whom did Lillian Stroud come with? Why did Bunny Smith change his seat? and How did it happen that, during the entire evening, Pie Smith knocked' over only two glasses of punch and three other dishes? We hope to publish the answers ini the next issue. HELEN DORTCH I “A SUCCESSFUL CALAMITY’ GREAT SUCCESS. “A Successful Calamity” given by the Senior Class at the Acme Theatre April the thirteenth, waa indeed a success. The two act comedy by Clare, Kummer afforded a real evening’s entertainment for the large audience present. Jonathan Jenkins as the hero ably portrayed the role of Henry Wilton, a millionaire who longed to spend a quiet evening at home. Lillian Stroud as his young second wife was unusually good, and so was Beulah Pet way as Marguerite, his daughter Rob ert Yelverton as Eddie, his young son, made one of the biggest hits of the entire play and brought many laughs from the audience. Arnold Borden as Pietro Rafaelo, an Italian painter, displayed unusual talent and may be called the favorite of the evening. Margaret Giddens as the French maid gave a a excellent peilormance. Thomas Griffin and John S'picer as the fiancees of Mar guerite also deserve special praise. Helen-Dortch as EJdie’s ficiiK-ee, Nor wood Crow as Dr. Broodie, William Daniels as Connors the butler, and Tom Robinson as John Belden were also fine in their individual parts. Altogether the play was humorous and full of entertainment from the beginning to the extremely happy end ing. The music and singing were important features and were enjoyed by every one. Miss Margaret Kornegay, who is well known for her remarkable suc cess in the direction of plays, coached the cast and together with Miss Doub, who had charge of the business part of the production, deserve much praise for the cooperation with the Seniors in presenting the play. GOIN’ SWIMMIN’ Goin’ sTvimmin’, goin’ swimmin’ Are the words of golden youth Down a woodland path awindin’ Such a pretty path, in truth. Mossy covered logs invitin’ Cannot tempt us now one bit For we are goin’ swimmin’ That’s the very best of it. Goin’ swimmin’ goin’ swimmin, Nothing else is half so fine Diving in the chilly water On a summer’s morn’ divine. ROBERT YELVERTON
