THEATRE MATINEE AND NITE
Have you ever heard Clarence Pea

boro High School will present their
annual play. The chosen play for this
year is “Pigs”, by Annie Morrison and
Patterson McNutt.
Miss Margaret Kornegay, dramatic
coach at the High School, is directing
the play and boasts of having the
strongest cast she has ever had for a
Junior play. “Not that they are indi
vidually better actors but 1 am speak
ing of them as a whole,” said Miss
Kornegay when asked about the play.
The cast has been working hard for
the past three weeks and are planning
to give the people of Goldsboro the
best play ever presented by any class
of G. h; s. a short scene from the
play was given before the Dramatic
Club Wednesday, April 10, and from
all indications there is no doubt that
it will be the best production of any
High School group.
Heretofore the Junior play has been
put on at the Mason Theatre but as
It could not be obtained at this date
it was changed to the North S'tate
Theatre. Also for the first time there
will be a matinee performance. This

cents for the night performance There
Will be no reserved seats except for
members of the Junior Class who will
be dressed in white and green, their
class colors.
The stage scenery used will be that

t)ramatic Club and the stage setting
will be used through the courtesy of
the merchantsi of Goldsboro nam'ed on
the program.

LOSE DRAMATIC
CONTEST TO
FAYETTEVILLE
The Junior-Senior Banquet will be
held in the Cafeteria, Friday evening.
May 3, at 8 o’clock. The Juniors pre- ,
sented the invitation to the Seniors
in a unique and original manner on
Monday, April 22.
After Matt Howeil stated that “the
time of the play was the present and
the place a corner of the school cam
pus,” Wee Willie Corbett announced
George l^dwards as a Senior of 1929.
George sat down under one of the trees
and began reading with a worried look
on his face.
The stage was beautifully decorated
as a campus scene There was a
bench on both sides, shade trees grow
ing here and there, and a climbing!
rose bush growing on a lattice frame
work. Back of this was a gorgeous
rainbow.
George soon fell asleep and began
dreaming of his early high school!
days. First came the Freshman year
and the initiation, with several P’resh-
men acting the parts. One of them
was helping another with his lessons
when a third came in running up, and
shouting that the Sophomores were
coming. All three immediately ran
for cover, but were too late; the Sopho.
mores brought Into use the much
dreaded paddle
The dream continued into George’s
Sophomore year,when a student is sup.
posed to have learned something of
the rules and how to conduct himself,
but doesn’t really know much. Sidney
Meyers and Worth Baldwin acted this
■part of the dream. Sidney being the
S'opho. and Worth being an Irate pro
fessor.
Sidney came running up, with vis
ions of his best girl filling his mind,
and picked a flower from one of the
plants. Professor Baldwin who was
reading began to bless him out about it.
“Didn’t I teach you anything lastj
year? Haven’t you any respect for
yopr school? Wlhat did you pull that
flower for? Spit out that chewing gum
“The Maker of Dreams”
Was Also Given Twice
After Contest
Faytteville High School won out
over the Goldsboro High School Play-
makers in the first preliminary State
Dramatic Contest held in Fayetteville
on Thursday evening, March 28 A.
C. Howell, of Chapel Hill, rendered
the decision, giving Fayetteville 80
points out of a possible one hundred
and Goldsboro 74.
This decision eliminated Goldsboro
from participating in the remain! ng
contest sponsored by the Carolina
Dramatic Association in Chapel Hill.
Fayetteville will now play Wilson, who
won over Spring Hope, and the winner
of this third preliminary will compete
for State Championship in Chapel H’ill.
Fayetteville presented a World War
tragedy “For All time” with its scone
laid in Paris. It has a cast of four
and was directed by Miss Grace Ever-
rest, the Fayetteville High Dramatic
Director
A fantasy “The Maker of Dreams”,
under the direction of Miss Margaret
Kornegay, was given by the Goldsboro
High School The scene is of the fif
teenth century type with only three
characters taking part; namely, Lester
Gillikin, Ruth Ellinwood, and xMew-
bern Piland,
Although Lester and Newbern acted
their parts to a seemingly perfection,
special emphasis should be laid on the
many compliments that Ruth received
for having such a pleasant speaking
voice. I
Mr. Howell, the judge, said that l.er
voice, besides being especially suitable *
for the stage, was one of the most
pleasant ones that he had ever heard.
Having selected an excellent play,
Miss Kornegay formed a graceful :n-
troduction to “The Maker of Dreams”
by having Helen Ellinwood, Nell Kil
patrick, Florence Brooks, and Marion
Weil do a fairy dance, but this could
not be considered in the judging of the
play.

DECIDES ON
INVITATIONS
At a meeting of the Senior Clasg

MBS. PEGG SPEAKS
TO BUSINESS PUPILS
“You must know how to spell and
l^unctuate correctly to be a success at
stenography and bookkeeping,” said
Mrs. Pegg of the Georgia-Carollna
Commercial School.
Mrs. Pegg addressed about fifty stu
dents that were interested in this
Work, during activity period on Tues
day, April 14, at iG. H. S. She advised
them to specialize in English.
“When a gentleman comes into our
office and wants to employ a boy or
girl, he asks, ‘Can she spell?’ ‘Can hfe
punctuate correctly?’ I am sorry to
inform him sometimes that some are
not very accurate in spelling or punc
tuating!.”
Another subject that Mrs. Pegg em
phasized was cheating. “Cheating
might help you for a few days, but
when test time comes, you feel the re
sults. As I have heard some girls up
^•t the Commerce School say ‘Let your
conscience be your guide.’”
Before an audience of 1500 people
in the historical old Memorial Hall in
Chapel Hill, Roanoke Rapids, uphold
ing the negative side of the query:
“Resolved, That the United States
should join the World Court,” won a
3 to 2 decision over Goldsboro on Fri
day night, April 19. The winners
Floyd Adams and S'herard Crumpler.
were awarded the Aycock Memorial
Cup. This was the first time a Golds
boro team had reached the finals of
the Triangular Debate.
Edward Outlaw and Eleanor Bizzell,
•Goldsboro affirmative team present^
good arguments, but the convincing
manner of the Roanoke Rapids tea.m
proved to be the deciding factor. The
affirmative contended that the World
Court was essentially of American
origin, that the World Court was the
only practicable step toward world
peace at the present available, and that
the objections to the Court were of
minor importance. The negative ar
gued that the U. S. already had ade
quate machinery for the settlement of
international disputes, that the Court
would entangle us in foreign affairs
and that the World Court was unde
sirable.
Dr. Harry W. Chase, President of
the University of North Carolina, pre
sided; E. R, Rankin, acted secretary,
while H. H. Williams, N. W. Walker,
R. B. House, J. F. Royster and L. R.
Williams of the University faculty,
were judges.
Both teams went to the semUlnala,
Goldsboro negative team, Dan ipowell
and Alexander McLean lost to Roanoke

local affirmative team, by virtue of
their win in the affirmative hall, com
peted in the finals.

JOURNALISTS UNEARTH INTERESTING HOBBIES
When “Joby” Matthews, Goldsboro’s
Future Wall Street Wizard, was asked
about the nature of his hobby, he
proudly replied; “Why I can spend the
rest of my life dealing in stock. The
stock markets are fascinating; they
remind me of an elevator, up one min
ute and down the next. They can
make one to be a millionaire one min
ute and a pauper the next.” “Joby”
consumes all of his leisure moments
watching the market’s ups and downs;
and his instinct always tells him to
invest his money in the right way. “If
I could not calculate the profit to be
derived from my investment, with
complete accuracy, i am sure that I
could never enjoy it,” concluded
Joseph,.
As a result of Mr. Cone’s interest
ing talk on hobbies Monday, March 18,
the Journalism Class considered the
possibility of conducting an investiga
tion of the various hobbies of the G.
H. S. students Mr. Cone is the pastor
of the Episcopal Church, and this Is
only one of the many interesting talks
that he has given to the student body.
I STUDENTS DISPLAY SHYNESS
When the journalism class began
their investigations, they found some
students, to whom questions were
fired, were very slow indeed in giving
an account of themselves. Most of
them were extremely modest, bashful,
and shy, when they learned that ac
counts of their hobby were to be pub
lished, but nevertheless the persistence
of the reporters won out.
!
j Henry Moore, a member of the Sen-
j ior Class, was found to have a hobby
of collecting old guns. French guns,
German guns, Russian guns. Civil t nd
Revolutionary War guns, are all
among his collections. Henry, not
knowing what it was all about, very
freely gave his reasons for collecting
such odd antiques. He says that old
guns are much better than the new
ones; that it, they will not crumble
to pieces under harsh treatment. Be
sides the possibility of securing a
very valuable gun, it seems that Henry
is preparing for his future married
life. To quote him; “Woe be unto the
young female who fails to agree with
me, for it has been only two days since
I tested my guns. Every one of Ihe^i
is in perfect conodition and ready lor
action at any time.”
THESE COLLECT MOVIE STARS.
Ted Phelps, of the Freshman class
has an overflowing collection of movie
star pictures. The most widely known
lovers of the screen in his album are;
Charles Farrell, John Gilbert, Greta
(Jarbo, Janet Gaynor, and Nancy Car
roll. Ted insists that such pictures as
these will beautify the Interior of any
ro-om. Although movie stars will send
their pictures to any one upon request,
Ted also takes advantage of Film Pun
Magazine clippings. His hobby of col
lecting jokes from various sources
ranks second to that of collecting pic
tures of movie stars. He has been
gathering these wittycisms for a num
ber of years, and if they were publish
ed in book form, he believes that he
would acquire a small fortune from
them.
Ralph Summerlin, Zelma Minter,
Sara Hall Carr, and Katherine Duke
are also collecting movie star pictures
