Pays Twenty Billion Dollars An
nually to United States;
Moratorium Brings Relief
“The United States receives an
nually twenty billion dollars from
war debts, all of which amount
comes indirectly from Germany,”
stated Emmett Spicer in a program
on “Plow We Are Affected by Einan-
cial Conditions in Germany,” which
was presented by members of the
American History classes in Chapel,
Friday, I^ovember 6.
The following chart illustrates
this point:
Germany pays out 28 billion dol
lars annually. Of this amount
France receives 14 billion, keeps 4
billion, and pays out 11 billion.
Great Britain receives 11 billion, re
tains 1 billion, and pays out 10
billion, Italy receives 4 billion, re
tains not quite 1 million, and pays
out not quite 4 billion. Others re
ceive 4 billion, retain 2 billion, and
pay out 2 billion.
In this way the United States
receives 22 billion dollars annually
from foreign countries, all of wdiich
amount comes indirectly from
Germany.
The situation in Germany that
caused President Hoover to insist
on a postponement of the payment
of war debts was described by Mary
Elizabeth Kelly.
The “Hoover Moratorium” is
Hoover’s plan to put off payments
of war debts. Mary Elizabeth ex
plained how important this is to us,
since, if Germany fails financially,
we will have 22 billion dollars ex
tracted from our annual income.

PLANS MADE FOR AD
VANCED HOME MAKERS
Equipping Health Room Chosen
as Special Project
Miss Sherwood, a teacher of Home
Making in G. H. S., has made new
and somewhat different plans this
year for her second year class. She
thinks these improvements will en
able the students to learn more with
less routine work.
In the second year class only girls
w 10 are really talented and very in
terested are advised to enroll. It is
an intensive study of advanced prob
lems in Home Making.
At present their project is the
Health Room. The class has cleaned
it, painted the furniture, and
equipped the medicine cabinet with
simple remedies.
It is now being used for a Health
Room by the girls. The class has
so organized its work that one girl
stays in the Health Room each
period.
When a girl goes to the Health
Room, t e date, her name, her Home
Room, the length of time she stays,
and the medicine used, are written on
a slip of paper, signed by the girl
in charge, and then filed.
Miss Sherwood says, “These girls

The two glee clubs, boys’ and girls’
separate from the regular singing
classes, meet every Wednesday—the
girls at the third j)eriod, and the
boys at the fourth. There are
twenty-two members in each club.
The members of the clubs are:
Sopranos—Katherine Liles, Peggy
Pate, Helen Smith, Bertha Cutler,
Lillian Mooring, Julia Raney, Mary
Waters, Elizabeth Parker, Thelma
Robbins, Fraiices Parker, Eloise
Simmons, Virginia Crow, and
Florence Brooks; Altos—Virginia

cock, Carl Teachey, Randolph Lang
ston, James Odom, Buck Ward, Ber

The goal for the first term is a
Christmas Cantata. With the tal
ent that the school has. Miss Brock-
well feels that this will be a very
successful year. The election of
officers has not yet been made, but
will be just as soon as possible.
For the first time in the history
of the Goldsboro school system stu
dents had to wait six weeks for
their report cards. On account of
this and because they were the first
reports received this year, the stu
dents were more anxious than they
usually are to see them.
A study of these reports revealed
a number of interesting facts.
The number of subject failures in
each home room were as follows:
Mrs. Middleton (IIM) 6; Miss
Beasley (llB) 1; Miss Gordner
(IIG) 4; Mrs. Cox (IOC) 18; Miss
Ipock (10 I, boys) 21; Miss Mason
(lOM) 12; Miss Cojie (10 I, girls)
15; Miss Kornegay (lOK) 17; Mr.
Harvel (9H) 13; Miss Atkins (9A)
11; Mr. Greene (9G) 9; Mr. Helms
(9S) 12; Miss Taylor (9T) 7; Mr.
Sansbury (8S) 9; Miss Koch (8K)
16; Miss Sherwood (8D) 13; Miss
Purser (8P) 11; Miss Cobb (8C)
13; Miss Currie (8Y) 16; Total
224.
Miss Beasley’s room took the
honors with only one failure. The
greatest number of subjects failed
in one room was 21.
This total of 224 failures gave an
average of one subject failed to
every two persons.
About fifty per cent of the people
who were notified at the end of the
first four weeks that they were fail-

“EVE OF REVOLUTION”
SEEN BY SENIOR CLASS
Historic Picture Shown Through
Courtesy of Publix-Kincy
Officials
The Senior Class of the Goldsboro
High School, and the history classes
of the Grammar School, through the
courtesy of the Publix-Kincy of
ficials in Goldsboro saw a picture—
“The Eve of the Revolution,” at
the Paramount Theater, Friday
morning at 8:45, I^ovember 6.
The picture was taken from a
book of the same name, by Carl
Becker. Historians vouch for its
authenticity.
“The Eve of the Revolution” was
a three-reel picture, which portray
ed the time just before the Revolu
tion.
The characters were made very
real, especially Samuel Adams, the
main character. His indomitable
will was clearly portrayed in one
scene where, by main force, he kept
both the Whigs and Tories in the
meeting house until the meeting was
over.
The purpose of the picture was to
give American History students a

The organization of clubs in
G. H. S. on October 13 gave evi
dence of much enthusiasm.
Eleven clubs were organized and
each club had more than could be
handled. Fifty-six reported to the
Taxidermy Club, where only twelve
or fifteen could be accommodated.
There was also an overflow of stu
dents reporting to Boys’ Home
Economics. The Tennis Club had
so many present that a new club,
the Gold Bug Club for girls, had to
be organized.
Membership in a club is not com
pulsory. The students, for the first
three meetings, could visit the dif
ferent clubs. After reporting to a
club for three successive meetings,
the student was enrolled as a mem
ber, and can not withdraw without
permission from the office.
Each club may disband at any
time it ceases to carry out the pur
pose for which it was organized.
The club may disband when it has
completed its work.
Each club will be held responsible
for giving one assembly program
sometime during the year. Every
club should draw up a constitution
which includes the following: name
and purpose of organization; of
ficers; methods of electing officers;
duties of officers; membership;
determination; activities and work;
time and place of meeting.
The following clubs have been
organized: Radio Club—sponser Mr.
Helms; Taxidermy—Miss Taylor;
Picture Study Club—Miss Cobb;
Boys’ Home Economics—Miss Sher
wood ; Debating—Miss Beasley;
Book and Poster—Miss Gordner;
Music Club—Miss Koch; Tennis—
Mr. Robert Yelverton; Latin—Mrs.
Middleton ; Dramatic Club—Miss
Kornegay; Gold Bug—Miss Currie.
More clubs may be organized later
on. The regular club day is on every
Tuesday at the second period.

State Examination Shows Sen
iors Nine Points Above
Average
Ranking nine points above the
state average, G. H. S. Seniors of
1930-31 rated above the state median
in all divisions of the State Senior
Examination last spring.
The examination was divided into
several parts. In Reading and Study
Habits the state median was 15.7;
G. H. S. was 19. In two other parts
on Reading the state and Goldsboro
medians were 9.5, 11.0, 12.0 and
14.0 respectively. The Goldsboro
median on English was 12.0, while
the state median was 10.4. In Mathe
matics the state median was 6.9;
G. H. S. was 7.0. The median in
General Science for the state was
11.7; for Goldsboro, 12.0. G. H. S.
had a median of 15 in American
History, while the state median was
12.3.
In all of these subjects the
Seniors of G. H. S. w^ere above the
median.
“Knowing the horrors and the in
justice of war, we dedicate this
program to peace—world wide, ever
lasting peace.” With these words,
Arthur Allred opened the Armistice
Day Program in the Goldsboro High
School on jSTovember 11, thirteen
years after the signing of Armistice,
in Paris, France. The speaker of
the occasion was Rabbi Freund of
the Oheb Sholam Temple, and
others on the program were members
of Miss Kornegay’s classes, and the
entire glee club.
“All the nations, though victorious
in the World War, are now in the
midst of a depression which is the
direct result of this terrible war,”
said Rabbi Freund, having been in
troduced by Mr. Wilson.
“I am afraid we have failed
miserably with our factories—with
our gold—there are 10 million fami
lies, 40 or 50 million people stnrv-
ing. There is only one thing left:
we have failed with our sword and
our gold piece, and now we must
use a weapon of ])oace, friendship,
and cooperation. We must do away
with the other two, not only in our
own community—our own cUiss-
rooms, but helpfulness, kindliness,
and peace, must be everywhere!”
At the beginning of the program,
the entire school rose and repeated
the “Lord’s Prayer,” after which
“America the Beautiful” was sung
by all.
“In Flander’s Field,” a ])oem by
Lieutenant McRae, was recited by
Isabell Baddour.
The Glee Club then sang “Praise
to Peace,” directed by Miss Brock-
well, and accompanied at the piano
by Helen Smith.
Pete Heyward tlien recited a ])oem
—“Supplication,” wdiich was written
by Peter Gething, Major of the
Australian Machine Gun Corps, and
dedicated to his brother, who was
