“MAKER OF DREAMS”
GOLDSBOROS PLAY
The Goldsboro High School Dra
matic' Club will compete against
Fayetteville in the first preliminary
Dramatic Contest of the State. It is
to be held in Fayetteville on "'atur-
day, March 30th.
A fantasy “The Maker of Dreams”
has been selected by Miss Margaret
Kornegay, the Dramatic Club Dire'^tor,
to represent Goldsboro. Fayetteville
will dramatize “A World War Trag
edy,” “For all time,” in the coming
contests. The plays have been ap
proved and accepted by the Executive
Comrtiittee of the Carolina Dramatic
Association.
“The Maker of Dreams” was writ
ten in 1911 by Oliphnnt Down, a young
English dramatist, who was killed in
the World War in 1917 at the age of
thirty-two.
The cast consists of three charac
ters. Ruth Bllinwood, the only girl in
the fantasy, will be known as Pier
rette. For a long time she has been
sitting on top of the moon awaiting
the appearance of her lover. I.ester
Gillikin will appear as Pierrot, and
wake up to the fact that he is deeply
in love with Pierrette, the girl of his
dreams. The happiness that occurs
between these two lovers will be due
to the Manufacturer's skill in hand
ling psycological affairs. The Manu
facturer, or “The Maker of Dreams”
himself, will be portrayed by Newbern
Piland.
Ruth has never received any
i-eai' experience in dramatiaing
plays; but all indications from her
excellent practice point to a great
success. Miss Kornegay possesses a
hobby of rollecting unknown talent
for the stage.
The winner of this contest will be
matched against another champion.
The finals will be beid in the Play,
makers Ther'tre in Chapel Hill, during
the Dramatic Festival in May. The
club winning the State Championship
will be awarded the troohy of the
Carolina Dramatic Association.

RAMSEY CHASES
BURGLAR
AFTER TWO WEEKS OF ALCOHOL
DIET TIPSY BEGAN TO
SHOW DISSIPATION
“Tipsy” has escaped! How? and
where? are the questions in the
minds of the bioloey students. The
cage, his former home, seemingly has
no hole or crevice large enough to
l)erniit the passage of a mouse.. One
student 'Came forth with the sugges
tion that probably after the meal of
alcohol he felt so light and airy that
he breezed right through the wire net
ting which covers his cage. Be that
as it may—he’s gone..
As will be remembered from a pre
ceding article, “Tipsy” was being fed
an increasing amount of alcohol with
his daily bread, while "Topsy” his
brother, was being fed a balanced
diet. At the time of this article there
was no noticeable difference in the
two white mice, but after two weeks
or so “Tipsy” began to show the effect
He didnt grow as fast as “Tonsy”.
The hair about his head began to thin,
and he was even accused of getting
bald-headed.
When "Tipsy” escaped, he had got
ten to be a regular “S’ot”; he couldn't
sleep if he missed his unwholesome
supper, and cried for it before break
fast time. Now that he is gone, there
is no way that he can get liouor. The
nuestlon Is: Can he live without it?
Heroic deeds go by every day un-
mentioned. The other night one ha]-
nened in Goldsboro, but few neople
have heard of it.
Lee Miller Ramsey, who lives out
baclc of the park, went home abcut
11:00 on a dark cloudy night. When
he arrived, he found that the front
door was locked, so he started around
to the back. When about half way
around the house, he heard a noise
and on looking up saw two white
forms jump from the windOAV and go
away.
Lee, who was almost killed in the
rush for freedom, made sure that the
crool's had had time to get aw'’,y, and
that his heart had started bentiiig
normally again, rnd that the lead h^^d
left his feet; then he rushed into the
house and called the cops. Tt snowed
hard the next morning—-the coo
caught the crooks at the park gate.

The teachers of Goldsboro were de-
I'ghtfully entert'ined by the Kiwan-

turing Company. Of the 150 pei’sons

SENIORS TAKE
I STATE EXAMS
j Instead of being delighted by a val-
I entine. the seniors were surprised
; when their teacher told them on Feb-
' ruary 14, that they would take the
I state examinations.
! These examinations were given not
. only in G.H.S. but in every other high
school in Korth Carolina,
j Exams similar to these have been
given in North Crrolina high schools
, for the past five vears. T.ast year's
j senior class of 0 H S’ made a stand-
I ing well above the average in every
subject.
I These examination'! are to deter-
j mine the comparative standing of the
I various high schools ^'nd to assist col-
I leges in placing students where they
belong.
A memorial to Mrs. Edna Crawford
Creech is to be erected in the library.
Mrs. Henry Weil has made a liberal
donation for this cause, i.nd it is ex
pected that others will contribute
from time to time.
The memorial is to consist of a col
lection of books which will be selected
from a list handed in by each teacher.
On the shelf where these books will
be placed, a brass plate engraved with
the inscription: “In Memory of Mrs.
Edna Crawford Creech” will be set.
Mrs. Creech, a deceased member of
the School Board, was one of its out
standing members. As she was inter
ested in all phases of school life, It
was thought that a collection of hooks
on all subjects interesting to high
school students would form a most
fitting memorial to her.
The “Library of Historical Charac
ters and Famous Events” hsa beer
presented to the library by Mrs
H'enry Weil. This series of ten vol.
umes, written by A. R. Spotford, t
well known authority, will form th(
nucleus of the Creech Memorial col
lection.
IVIiss Gertrude and Mrs. Henry Weil
also contributed the “Life of Wash-
in.gton,” consisting of five voluhies,
and “Mrs. Chatterbox and Her Fam
ily,” written by Connolly. The "Life
of Washington” was written by John
Marshall, the eminent Chief Justice
of the United States. They bring one
fac'o to face with very interestiag ac
counts of Washington's life. "IVTrB.

interesting events of the Civil War.
Miss Robedca TTuniptrey pFosented
“Friendship” and a volue of Whlttlor’s
Poems. “Friendship" was written by
a famous Presbyterian Minister of to
day, Dr. Hugh Black.
Ralph Brogden, a member of the
Freshman Class, told three of his
beloved book's goodbye when ho said
to the librarian, “ll'ere. Miss Roark,
you are welcome to these.” Ralph
also contributed his books voluntarily.
Upon questioning Miss Ethel Roark,
the librarian, as to how these books
were being received by iTie students,
sho rei)lied ''Why, even before the
books are stamped, students are seen
coming in ;;rguing about who will ho
the first to got them. The books are
always out of the library before the
ink on the front labels have ever
dried. It is remarkable to noUre tho
interest of the students.”
Five beautiful iiietures. painted by
famous artists, are also among tho
list of contributions. These wero
given I'ly Mrs. E. B, Borden. Two of
tho best known are entitled “Rein
(ior.r'’ land “iSlin'i'ngtime.” They are
especially for the library. The library
h:’s, in iuldition to these, a sum of
money which will be used to i)urchase
P’rall cojiiea of .great masterpieces.
These will bo used at the activity
poviod when the various classes aro
studying art appreciation.
