LEST WE FORGET Twelve years ago this fall, Europe was in the midst of terror and gims. The greatest war in history was lead ing every nation to ruin. Hundreds of°men were, being killed every day. Many lay in hospitals, their lives ruined by the brutal war. On November 11, the white colors cx truce appeared out of the terrible sea of blood. A wonderful peace has reigned for twelve years. However, in FJanders lies a reminder of the many hardships and struggles that can never be forgotten. There lie over a million people who gave their lives for pcace, , . Remember the Doughboys, who lie m Fvarce and the hardships they suf fered. A CONTRAST Sleep late Thanksgiving morning and get up just In time for dinner. Eat turkey, dressing, cranberries, gravy, salad, and all good things that one likes., Eat too much just because it is tuV'e—not because you are hungry. After dinner hurry to get dressed for the football game, or a good show, or some trip. Get up early and go to the morning strvic^s. Have dinner, but use judg- nient about eating. Help some poor person to have a happy Thanksgiving. Reahze what Thanksgiving inearis, and keep in mind the purpose of it. Thariksgiving is really a day that is Jiet aside by our ancestors to thank Goq Which way shall we keep Thank.s- giving? THE SA5A OF . thanksgiving ; pinner By Stanley In the' latter part of sixteen-twenty The pilgi'ims fores|.w a land of plenty. Tney formed themselves in a small band To establish homes in the wonderful land. / .. They knew the bad bounces of a ship. So they used ah aeroplane for the trip. With Robert Brewster leading the crew Through the air they flew and flew. The voyagers cried, “Turn back, turn But the heroic leader would not slack The terrific speed at which they sped. In grave response the brave man said, “No matter the blow—no matter the V/e’ll thi’ee-point land on Plymouth i-ock.” L.'ke George Washington, he could not lie; ^ So the gallant ship continued to fly. After crossing the ocean in a skyward span . They gave out of gas and decided to land. ^ Then the plane to the earth did shoot A'ld each falling man grabbed his parachute. Tne descending captain, forgetting his frown. Decided to race in going down, ife also said that to the winner The crew would give a Tux*key Dinner. They killed some turkeys—more than enough; X'U^ those rock-eating turkeys were plenty tough. So a year later in twenty-one After constant cooking the turkeys v;ere done. As Friday was the day for fresh fish They decided on Thursday to eat their dish. ALMOST HERE! Students, Thanksgiving is almost here and what a lot of things we have to give thanks for! But does it not cai;t a shadow over your enthusiasm ui.en you think of the many people %vho are really in need? V/hile we are planning a big trip, probably to attend a football game, see a good show, or even better, eat a real, old time Thanksgiving dinner at Grandfather's, there are others who are unable to buy their Thanks giving dinner. When planning your own Thanks giving, do not forget to include soniething which will make some one else thankful. The needy will be glad to get anything which we,feel able to give and why should not -xe, the for tunate ones, share/ with the unfor tunate? HONOR STUDENTS ARE RECOGNIZED Sixteen students out of the sLk hun dred and twenty enrolled in Golds- lioro High School made one’s on every subject for the month of October. Mr. Wilson gave them honorable mention in assembly Thursday, November 6. Besides giving, these students hon orable mentiton in assembly, Mr. Wil- sc*i sent letters to their parents to show that th6y were worthy of special commendation. In these letters he stated that each student was one of the sixteen but of six .hundred .and twenty students who made this rec ord. He also brought -out tlxe fact ■ -^t scholar^p was considered of -pri- y ia^partance.' In memory of these heroes of the skies Tomorrow we shall eat Turkey and pies. GLEANED FROM THE EXCHANGES From the sixth convention of the Southern Interscholastic Press Asso ciation. “High Life” brought back the cup for the first place in class A to Greensboro High.School. “High Life” was competing against all the class A high school papers in the South, and when judged ranked first. With the recent installment of a r.ew sterilisiation plant and a ne%v pump in connection with the swim ming pool, the pool of Durham High School is ready for service after a v^eek’s delay. The cost of these items Vv'as around eight hundred dollars. The Board of Education furnished the new eouipment to get the pool back in per fect working order. Girls from the junior and senior c)asses of Burlington High School sold forp,€t-me-nots for the benefit of the d.!^abled World War‘veterans on Ar- miy-ice Day. Their drive added $111.56 ro the Veterans Fund. ■ AN OjPEN FQRUM The Hallowe’en Ten Commandments from “The Pennsycanas,” Cumber- irnd, Md.: '!Thou Shalt not ring door bells un necessarily.

Dear Editor: We need clubs. During the first two weeks of this school year, the stu- 0‘ents were busy arranging schedules and courses of study. The new system of periods caused much restlessness and moving about. But at the begin ning of the third week the pupils be gan to look forward eagerly to the time when they would get back in their old clubs and resimie work. Dismay showed in many faces, and di'^appointment was in many hearts at the end of the fourth week, when it was rumored that there were to be no c-abs. This rumor became a certainty IIbout two weeks later. Various rea sons were given: the teachers don t have time, the students don’t seem to v/ant them, the clubs accomplish less every year. What can we do about it? Is there remedy? We do not profess to know. We do know, however, that this school and these students want, n^d, and should have clubs. Is school only a place where we gain a small amount of knowledge about the mechanics of English, the relation of one triangle to another, the causes of the World War, and Caesar’s Conquest in Gaul? Is it a place where we have no in terest outside our classes? Is this good training for citizenship and ac tive life? No. A thousand times, no! Everyone must admit that “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” Everyone should admit that all work and no play will make the work, which Tvould otherwise be interesting and euioyable, a very dull prospect indeed. The Jacks of this high school want and need clubs and outside activities. The lack of clubs is g'oing to be det- r.lmental to the school. The lack of clubs will eventually cause a lack of enihusiasm in subjects, which will sooner or later lower the scholastic standard of the whole school. On the otherhand, many people have no op portunity to learn of the school except through the clubs. If there are no CiUbs, people on the outside are going to think that our school is not pro gressive and that it lacks zest and spirit. Are we going to allow this tiling to happen under our vei-y eyes? Muft we always sit passively by and v/ait for someone else to take the lend? It is up to the student body to act and to act quickly. This high sciicol must have clubs! Yours very truly, Elizabeth Smith. Tiien there was the Scotchman who took his son out of school, because he had to pay attention—Facts and Fun. Deerfield-Shields High School will have for their fall play “The Young est,” by Phillip Barry. Tennis has just been pronounced a major sport in Central Hf, Rocky Mount. The team will enter a con ference with team's from Goldsboro, ■Wilson, Tarboro, Washington, and Rocky Mount. The winners will try in the state championship. The band of Lenoir High School is the pi-oud possessor of a set of chimes. The chimes cost “almost as much as a Ford car” according to the director. Mr. Harper also says, “although pro fessional bands may have more ccstly chim.es than ours, none are of a bet ter quality;” Dear Editor: On September 8, I was a new pupil entering a new school. And when the coors of G. H. S. opened to admit sev eral hundred students, X entered with an expectant air. The outward ap pearance of the school impressed me; but my spirits were, in a short time, daunted when I stepped into the audi- tv^rium. But not for long, for as soon as I saw more of the building I knew I v.’as going to like it. One thing about the school that I especially like is that I have seen no p'^.rciality on the part of the teachers. Ihe faculty should be commended for th)s; for in most of the schools which I have attended or visited, it seems as if it is very hard for teachers to treat all pupils alike. It is true that the seniors here in G. H. S. have some privileges, but I do not think they have as many as are due them. In Courtland, tlie school which I . attended before coming here, one thing I especially envied the seniors %vas the historical tour which they took at the end of their graduating year. These trips prove educational and htfipful as well as interesting. But perhaps you seniors have something that takes the I'.*acc oi these tours. I do not know. To me, a Literary Society is essen tial in a high school, and since there will be no Dramatic Club this year, it Vvculd be very helpful if one should be organfzed. Again permit me to say that I think this indeed a fine school; and after June. I shall be proud to say that I a graduate of G. H. S. Lucy Cornwell. Ijjftrary N(^s Have you seen the big yellow book containing old copie^ of 'the Goldsboro : Argus? Miss Roark found the aged book on her desk but she does not know wh^ presented it to the library. You really should see the, odd advertisements. The papers were published from P"iday, June 29,1894, through Sunday, December 30, 1894, by Mr. JpS. E. Rob inson. The average number of books out of the library each day is 365. Thia 'loes not mean that 365 books are tak en out daily but that 365 books are in c.irculation. Miss DeVane has sent to our library. 135 books; three sets consisting of Har vard Classics, History of Nations, Cen tury Dictionary and Cyclopedia. ■ Miss Roark is giving the freshmen a ct'Urse on how to use the library. She has now one hundred freshmen, hi her class and plans to give the course to others later on. The most unusual incident occurred, in the library this month. A student brought his fine the firist day - that it v/ai: due. How to Attract the Librarian’s Attention' 1. See hew noisily you can walk i»- tlie library. She’ll look your way. 2. Don’t pay your library dues; then she’ll ask you for them. 3. Leave the books lying around in your locker or class room and, when questioned, declare that you put them on the librarian’s desk several days before, but she was busy and did not Srje you. 4. Get a pencil ol* fountain pen and draw caricatures on the magazines and nev/spapers. They don’t have ei>ough pictures in them anyway. 5. When you replace reference books, fix the volume so they will number 1,(J.3,7-9-21-4 etc. Just so you get them mixed up. It really doesn’t mat ter about the numbers. 6. Chew gum and make a specialty of popping it. One looks very attrac tive doing this. Y. Tread into the “forbidden land”.^ (Work roQffn); of course you’d rather go in there than to the' show. When you wish to attract anyone’s attention-at the other end of the li-. l.iary, all you haVe to do is yell out their names and they, (Miss Roark and whomever you call) will be right there, at least Miss Roark will. .9 - If you are in a hurry and want to sharpen your pencil, dash over to the pencil sharpener, whistling a tune on the way to keep yourself company. SJve will understand that you are lonely and see that you have company —ijfter school. 10. Hide the debating mat^'ial whtre your opponents can’t find it. 'l^hey don’t need it; they are just teas- in'j you. 11. Return books to a “secret” place . on the shelves where the librarian jusfc can’t find it. She likes to play hide- ar.d-go-seek. You do the hiding, let her do the seeking. 12 Take library material out with out “signing up” for it. But just wait till she catches you! 13. “Sneak out” a magazine and keep it for a whole period. ' No one; cares to read it. l-±. If some one has the material you want, fight for it. I’m sure Miss Roark will referee in your favor. 15 If you don’t like the Icoks of a magazine cover, just tear it off. R«ally, there is no need of having anything- you don’t want. Ask Miss Roark. The players of ’^yhiston-Salem Hi presented a play, “Captain. Applejack," f^turing bold pirates. Acco3:ding; to the coach, all the players wers well jfftiedl tc theif parts. I ca r Editor; I think that there are arguments for and against hour peilods. They have an advantage over forty-five minute periods in tltat more can be accomplished. In a geometry class, for example, during tlie forty-five minute period students' have only enough time to put their work on the b*jard and the explanations are never finished. But, on the other hand, with hour periods a student who is tak ng five subjects has no opportun ity to go to the library to do all of the work assigned. Unle:^ he is given spe- cia.l permisisioh, he. niust leave it off all together and receive a four on the day’s assignment. This is especially hard on students coming in oh the school busses and those working after school who can not stay after school. I tliiiik extra privileges should be given to these students if horn* periods continue. A Student Who. Comes in. on the-Biis Have you seen the block of wood tiiat helped to support the roof of the Executive Mansion? This souvenir of the White House was given to the library by the !^a- tional Lumber Manufacturers Associa tion of Washington, p. C. . For 112 years, during the adminis tration of 26 presidents of the United States,, from James Madison in 1815 to Calvin Coolldge in 1927, this block of wood helped support the roof of the White House. It was removed when, tiic- Executive Mansion was remodeled in 1927. This piece of pine wood was found to be in perfect condition. “A sticth in time saves nine.” Tiiis old saying truly holds good in the re binding of books. The library worlcroom is a scene of bus;/ activity during first period study hali and after school when Miss Roark’s helpers are rebinding wom-oui bcoks. . ‘ Many of the books in the library need' mending, but the ones on the parc.llel reading list are the first to be rebound. Among' those that have been finished are O’Henry’;^ “The Four Mil lion”, Eggleston’s “The Hoosier School boy” and “The Hoosier School Mas ter”, Porter’s “Michael O’Hallorah’*, London's “’The Call of the Wild”, Pox-s “Little. Shepherd of Kingdom Come”, Hough’s. “The ^Jovered->Wagon”, and .Tarkington*s-“Penrod”. . ,
