AFRICA SPEAKS
THROUGH MR. STACK
History 10 Highly Entertained
Ml. E. L. Stack, superin
tendent of the I. O. O. F. Home,
spoke to the History 10 class,
April 9, on Africa. As the class
was studying Africa, he told of
the trees, people, and animals.
I There is a tree sacred to the
natives which covers several
acres, because the branches bend
to the ground and take root.
Another interesting tree is one
that closes its leaves tightly when
its trunk is pressed. There are
also many mahogany trees in
Africa.
The natives are thought to be
negroes entirely, but they are
not.^ Especially along the Congo
Basin there are white people.
There is music in these natives
and they can dance by the time
they are able to walk. A general
chai acteristic is a large head anc
flat nose.
People often speak of theii
friendly enemies as being baboons
or apes. Miss Kornegay’s class
now knows why they do this. Mr.
Stack told of killing a baboon
and hearing its mother cry like
a baby, and seeing her put leaves
on the wound. He said you may
find elephants, snakes, crocodiles,
and many other animals. People
have to anchor their boats for
some distance from shore to keep
animals from jumping into them.
This talk convinced the class
that Africci is one of the most
interesting : countries of the
world.
Professor Boshart of the agri
cultural department of State
College talked informally to the
student body of G. H." S. on
April 13 about success in life, its
four fundamentals and what they
mean.
“The four fundamentals of
success in life,” said Professor
Boshart, ‘‘are honesty, sincerity,
ambition, and personality.” He
demonstrated this fact by ex
amples. This is a story illustrat
ing an old maxim:
Jim Nelson was a fine young
man, with ambition and a gooc
personality. The company for
which he was working went out
of business and consequently he
was without a position. H^e went
to an old college friend whom he
knew to be a junior member of
a rehable firm, and asked about
work. His friend said:
Jim, old man. I’m mighty
sorry, but just a few weeks ago
there was an open place and I
thought about you for the job;
however, it is the custom in this
company to look into the high
school records of all the men we
hire. I wrote to the principal of
your high school and in reply
lie said that there was one blotch
on your character, just one—a
slightly dishonest act. I’m sorry,
but Ave don’t hire men without an
absolutely clean, white record.”
It was surprising to most of
the students to learn that their
high school record would be
looked into when they applied
for a position.
Professor Boshart continued,
telling about the ambition of a

Have you heard.? No.? Then
jouwill! The staff of the Golds-
BORo Hi School News is put
ting on another campaign.
No, students, they are not ask-
ing you now to see who ha,s pretty
eyes or who hasn’t; who is an ath
lete or who can dance well, but
they are asking you to buy sta
tionery from them. If you don’t
have any one to write to, then
you must find some one, because
they are offering you a portfolio
of twenty-four sheets of exquisite
paper with the seal of the Golds-
boi’o High School engraved on
it, for the small sum of one
dollar.
This paper is printed by the
Star Engraving Company of
Houston and Fort Worth, Texas.
They have given the staff the
opportunity to sell sixty pack
ages of stationery and in return
receive a profit of fifteen dollars.
The sale will continue until the
close of school.

Salem Affirmative
Judges Decide by a 4 to 1 Count
Sweeping all opposition aside
with a sustained “barrage of elo
quence,” the negative section of
the G. H. S. debating team was
crowned champion • of North
Carolina debaters, and subse
quently brought the Aycock
Memorial Cup into the perma
nent possession of G. H. S. In
the finals held in Memorial Hall
at 8 o’clock on Friday evenino-,
Apiil 19, Ezra Griffin and
Marion Weil conquered the Win
ston-Salem team, winning the
cup by a 4 to 1 count of the
I judges.
This contest was the climax
of a series of debates sponsored
by the Intercollegiate Debatino-
Union of Chapel Hill. The
whole G. H. S. team came out
victorious in the Triangular and
so were eligible to compete in
Chapel Hill. On Thursday night
fifty-six towns were represented
to debate in fourteen halls,
the judges of each hall
selecting the best negative
and affirmative team. On Fri- *
day morning in two separate
halls the negative and affirma
tive sides spoke for the honor of
partkipating in the finals. It
was in the affirmative hall that

Any amount of praise which
might be attributed to Ezra Grif-
Goldsboro High School is
ultra-modern! The latest thing
in modernistic high schools now,
is for them to have a special hunt
ing ground in their auditorium.
Sparrows make the best game,
since they never stay still and
ai e so hard to hit. For proof
see Billie BroAvn and Mr. Wil
son. The morning just before
the time for the debate, their
aim wasn’t so good.
A beater is also necessary.
Janitors make excellent ones.
The most convenient place for
one to be stationed is in the bal
cony with a long stick in his hand
to keep the birds out in the open.
As soon as the windows can be
equipped with bullet-proof glass,
special hunting permits will be
issued to those students who wish
to take advantage of this new
feature.
