SENIOR CLASS HOLDS ANNUAL PICNIC, MAY 24 STUDENTS ENJOY THE AFTER. NOON, EATING, SWIMMING, DANCING, AND JOKING. JUNIORS AND SENIORS HAVE ANNUAL banquet “Have you heard the latest Scotch joke?” asked Archie Pate at the Sen ior picnic at Crescent Lake, Friday, May 24. “And Englishman visiting in Scotland asked one of the natives how they took the census over there. The Scot calmly replied that all they had to do was to roll a nickle down the street, and count the folks as they ran for iti” This remark was typical of the many jokes pulled on Alex Mc Lean at the annual 'S'enior outing. As has been a custom for several years in G.H'.S., the seniors have a half holiday for a picnic; so Friday, having been released from school at twelve o’clock, the Seniors assembled at the Community Building and were ready to leave by one thirty. The chaperones were Miss Antoi nette Beasley, home room teacher of the Senior Class, and Mrs. H. F. Par ker, mother of one of the senior girls. Only two seniors were absent, but two visitors made up the deficit. They were MIsises Edwina Baker, of Farm- vllle, who was visiting Ruth Parker; and Dorothy Lee, of PoUocksville, who was visiting Doris Mae Jones. The absentees were Bill Latham and New- bern Piland;the former was ambitious enough to be working, and the latter stated that he could not swim and was not even about to be learning with all those dignified seniors watching. TWO casualties DID NOT MAR THE FUN. During the picnic there were only two casualties. George Roberts slip ped on the end of the spring-board and in trying to catch himself scraped his arm rather badly. The other was caused by some of the boys getting a little too playful with Henry Moore. They were about to throw him from the top of the platform into the lake, but Henry put up a pitifuL tale about how it gave him the headache to dive from over six feet That didn’t get him anywhere; they threw him in just the same. In attempting to hold on to one of the beams across the top, he cut his hand on a projecting nail. These minor accidents, however, didn’t stop the boys from swimming; in fact they didn’t even slow them up. many enjoyed DANCING. After the swimming, many couples tried out the new dance floor, and must have found it to their liking for they danced until about five o’clock. Lunch had been planned for five- thirty, but some of the boys grew Im. patient about five o’clock, and began asking Miss Beasley, “When do we eat?” “Oh, we don’t want to eat now,” she told them “Oh> don’t we,” said Alex McLean. “Just listen. Say, gang, all those who want to eat now say ‘Aye.”’ The “ayes” rocked the building, so the girls went to prepare supper, There was an abundance of food, so much, in fact, that Merrette Moore suggested sending what was left to the Near East Relief. Alex however, be ing Scotch, suggested that they have another picnic the next day so they Could eat what was left. A careful observer would have noticed Donald Cutler counting thus on his fingers. “Brother, likes cake; sister, likes pickles; dog, likes ham sandwiches and deviled.Ieggs, etc. A BOON TO STARVING ARMEN- IANS It was decided, however, that the^ best thing to do would be to call over a few starving Armeniansi These were well represented byi Matt Howell, Robert Muns, Alton Ward, and several | others, who finished what was left | without a struggle. After lunch, those who were able 1 went swimming or danced again, and those who were not enjoyed watching. The picnic broke up about six-thirty. TPh© department of agriculture says that the three largest tobacco centers in the United States are" Lexington, Ky., WIson, N. C, and Winston-Sa lem, N. O. (Continued from first page) place were attractive favors and place cards to march. The girls’ favors were powder boxes set in crepe-paper flowers, and the boys’ were baskets filled with vari-colored mints. Mrs. John Spicer was in charge of ^he menu served It consisted of fruit cocktail, pressed chicken, potato chips, green peas in timbales,beaten biscuits, cheese crackers, pickles, iced tea and strawberry ice-cream, with individual cakes. Twenty-five girls from the soi'jhomore class served. George Edwards, president of the Ji,.nior Class, was toastmaster. Lois Casteen gave a toast to the school which was responded to by the school song. Billy Crow toasted Mr. Arm strong who responded. Beulah Tur ner, with appreciative words toasted the faculty and Miss Colson respond ed. Clarence Peacock and Joe Par ker’s blue and white Ford received many compliments from Edward Out. law. Matt Howell, in Matt’s own way, toasted the Junior Play “Pigs”. Next was the farewell song from the Sen iors to the Juniors. Other toasts followed and the fortunes read by each individual afforded much laugh ter. Mr. Btallock with no shyness at all read his; “Hang a crepe on your nose; your brains are dead.” Miss Perry seemed rather bashful about hers, “You are beautiful, but dumb.” Before the banquet a beautiful pro. gram was given in the library. This room was decorated in every variety and color of fiowers and vines. Trellis- and lattices formed the background. In the middle of this sat the king and queen of May, Edgar Bain and Mary Hall Smith, on their beautiful white thrones. The entire program carried out the old idea of May Day. The flower girls first in the proces sion were Helen Ellinwood and Hilda Spence; Charles Webster was the king’s attendant and Linwood Black burn attended the queen. The maids of honor were: Lois Casteen and Edna Wilson: Emmett Spicer, herald, an nounced the arrival of the court. The court pages were: Benjamin Ward and George Kalleel.

Miss Kornegay, Stand up.” Keep ing her same position she said “Noth ing but an earthquake could make me budge.” MEMORIES OF JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET Merrette Moore, Don Cutler, and Henry Moore deciding on which piece of silver to use. Miss Perry reading her fortune; “Beautiful, but dumb.” John Peacock responding to Ed. Out law’s toast. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF— Alex McLean spent 49c. Bella Margoles reduced? Wm. Privett stopped wisecracking? Jimmie Spicer shrunk to a nub? Mary E. Hartshorn forgot how to dance? Martha Parsons couldn’t play bas ketball? Lester Gillkin lost his false teeth? Archie Pate’s hair faded? (Continued from first page) he is going to the University of Amer ica, Washington. There is a young lady in the Sen ior Class, who in future years will probably be a great artist, she is Ruth Parker. Ruth has not decided where she will attend college. Louise Woodard is doing something different, she is to travel up North Nina Hines, Thelma Seymour, and Lester Gillikin are the future business people of the Class of ’29, it seems. Nina and Thelma have not decided what school they will enter, but Les ter is to enter a school in Richmond. The following are going to school next year, but they don’t know which school to enter; they are Mark Best, Henryi Moore, Naomi Daniels, James Spicer, Archie Pate, and Edna Chap man. Two of the graduates will go to preparatory school a year before en tering college. Charles Edgerton is going to Woodberry Forest while Joe Parker who is going to a prep, school, has not decided which one he will enter. WiHAT WOULD GEORGE ROBERTS' DO WITHOUT— His John Gilbert mustache, His bright red scarf, His ability to reason things out quickly. His .shiekish ways. His unsurpassable knowledge of how to play football? JUST ANOTHER ONE, ALEX! "Say ‘Feet’ that was too bad about your brother.” “What brother?” answered Alex ‘Feet’ McLean. “The one that got shot in the army for not giving the password.” “And say, ‘Scotch’, I heard about that building you were going to build in leap year so that you would not have to put any fire escapes on it.” “Yeah,” was always the good-natur ed answer of Alex when such jokes as these were cracked on him. And what we like about Alex is that he does not get angry and crush a grape, at such joking comments on his Scotch descent. In fact, he even admits that when he buys a drink he asks for a root beer because there is more of it, and that he asks for a glass of water with some ice, a drink ing straw, a paper napkin, and a tooth pick Gr. H. S. RACKETEERS IN WASHINGTON VARSITY-FACULTY GAME The Varsity baseball team handed the Faculty acme stuff, Friday, when they took the huge end of a 21 to 1 score. Portside” Hicks twirled for theVar- sity with the receiving end held down by Parker while “Slowball” Wilson and “Carolina” Twyford made the bat. tery for the Faculty. The game was void of features with the exception of the pitching of Hicks and a home run by Gillikin, A determined tennis aggregation from the Goldsboro High School held the skillful Washington net men to a 3-all tie on the Pamlicoans’ own courts, Thursday, May 16 Washington presented a clever team that bettered the locals in the singles, winning three of the four matches.
