SUPERLATIVES
SENIOR CLASS OF 1929
Martha Parsons is now known as
the best-all-round and most athletic
girl in the Senior Class. On Thurs
day, April 25, the superlative members
of the Senior Class were voted upon
and Martha: was the only one in the
class that was superior in more than
one respect.
In case you are interested, the other
superlatives were:
Handsomest Boy—This distinction
went to Henry Moore. Henry with
that Pepsodent smile, black hair, and
brown eyes received the backing of al.
most the entire class He truly de
served it.
Prettiest Girl—Clara Norris. This
was another deserved honor; Clara
is truly what a Sophomore would call
a peach.
Most Athletic Boy—Here Merrette
Moore sprang into prominence, but
not until he had become the most
prominent figure in G.H.S. athletics.
Merrette is a three letter man—foot
ball, baseball, and basketball—he was
captain of the latter.
Most Athletic Girl—Martha Parsons.
Martha, like Merrette, with the boys,
wa^ “the thing” in girls’ atMetios.
She has been captain of the basketbalJ
team for the past two' years. This
y«ar she is captain of the girls track
team. Martha was also selected as
the best-all-around girl and again we
have an honor well deserved.
Most Studious Boy—James Starling.
Look at his report—nuff said!
Most Studious Girl—Zelma Minter.
Don’t get Zelma wrong, she isn’t the
kind that is always studying, but is
always ready for a good time.
Best Natured Boy—Ardhie Pate.
Take a big grin, some red hair, and
a crinky mustache mix them with a
lot of good nature and you will have
"Archieball’’ Pate.
Best Natured Girl—Tennys Thorn
ton. Tennys is that little girl in tl'.e
Senior Class that is always wearing
a smile and is just chock-full of good
humor.
Most Original Girl—Ruth Parke".
Ruth is just filled with original re
marks that really mean something.
Surely her originality deserved recog
nition.
Most Original Boy—Joe Parker. If
you know Joe, you know how original
he really is. Joe has been selected to
be the class testator and here is where
we will see some real originality.
Most Popular Girl—Mary Elizabeth
Hartshorn. Mary Elizabeth also ran
Clara a chase for the prettiest girl.
Bieauty and popularity are two of her
outstanding qualities.
Most popular Boy ^Biliie Simmons.
Billy is good natured, friendly, and
wittyh-thus his popularity.
Best All-Around-Boy—Alex McLean
Alex is president of the seniors, a
good athlete, and quite original, so
you see he really is good all the way
’round.
Most Typical Senior Girl—Nina
Hines. If y°^ watch her
and you will see an ideal senior.
Most Typical' Boy—Bill Latham.
Nlothing worries Bill, he ig ^ really
dignified and typical senior.

Senior Class Enters
Various Activities
HI SCHOOL TEACHERS
PLAN VACATIONS
The Senior Class of this year has
been well represented in high school
activities other than athletics.
About half of the class are members
of the high school dramatic club, and
those who have taken the most active
parts are Alex McLean, Lester Gilli-
kin, Newbern Piland, and Archie Pate.
Alex and Newbern appeared in the
first playi of the year “The Valiant”
which was presented a number of
times in Goldsboro: In the “Maker of
Dreams” Lester and Newbern took
leading parts. Archie Pate, a very
comical actor, appeared in “The Mar
riage Proposali.” Alex McLean is not
only a good actor but he is also the
president of the club. Not only in the
dramatic club is the class well repre
sented but large number of the stu
dents are interested in the science and
radio clubs.
Part of the senior class is also par
tially responsible for the issues of the
Goldsboro High School News that have
been distributed among the High
school students this year. The paper
was led by Merrette Moore, also a
senior. The entire class did their part
of helping to make the paper a success
in that each one subscribea, but tb
Billy Simmons, business manager,
goes the credit of pulling the paper
through financially.
W^hen volunteers were called for
the triangular debating team, Alex
McLean went to the call and did a
great part in helping to carry the
team through the most successful year
in the history of Goldsboro High
School.
