Meeting
Charles Wells Speaks
Before Dramatic Class
Four new plans which are of
great interest to and hitherto un
known by the students and teachers
of G, H. S. were made and accepted
recently by the local school board
and Mr, Armstrong.
The first of these new plans was
made because of the financial situa
tion of the schools. It is that begin
ning with Monday, April 11, the
public schools of Goldsboro will only
run on Monday, Wednesday, and
Friday, and then only from 9:30
until 2:30 o’clock.
Another plan is that on every
other Wednesday the teachers will be

SOPHOMORE DEBATERS
DEFEAT FRESHMEN
I Mr. Charles Wells of the National
Recreation Association, spoke before
the dramatic students on March 22,
He talked about amateur dra
matics saying there were 30,000
amateurs in the United States, 10,-
000 of whom were of school age.
In showing how one needs to over-
jcome stage fright, the following il
lustration was used: A prominent
business man of the middle west was
'called on to make a speech. Slowly
he rose and blushing painfully said,
rl ain’t no speech-maker, but I’m a
darn good sausage-maker.”
’ Mr. Wells then entertained the
'students by producing a puppet
show, “Jack and the Beanstalk.”

JUNIOR CLASS RINGS
NOT TO BE ORDERED
Order Will Be Placed in Septem
ber for Those Who Want Them
Junior Class Rings will not be
bought until September.
Out of 186 letters sent to the
parents, telling of the plan for buy
ing rings, only 37 were signed and
returned. These letters reminded
the parents of the present financial
condition; told them th'e cost of the
rings, which will be from $5 to $7;
and requested that they sign the let
ter if they wished their children to
buy rings. If 50 per cent of the
parents of the Juniors had signed
the letters, rings would have been
bought by these students.
In September any number of stu
dents may buy rings, Mr. Wilson
said.

vote of 2 to 1, in the first of the
series of interclass debates for the

of controlling the conservation of
natural resources but that it was
more practicable.
The sophomores maintained that,
if the Federal government had con
trol, the efforts would be organized
and would conserve natural re-
sotirces by one method; while, if the

Who’s that coming up so fast ?
Who’s ’at riding on that ass?
Who’s that bringing up the rear?
Why that’s the Army mascot—dear.

to have some sort of lead. Anyway,
this IS what it’s all about. I guess

Anyhow, there went Emmet, all
imperial like, mastering the none too
gentle art of riding Lightnin’, and

once he fainted from surprise when
Lightnin’ actually did what she

they continued their journey deter

At the end of the journey the hero
was received with shouts of “Hail,
Cowboy Bill, from over the hill,”
and some wise crack finished it with,
“Can’t ride now, and never will.”
They were probably right—he never
will ride Lightnin’ again. That’s the
effect she has on them, I recognized
that pale, seasick look on the victim’s
face, as I experienced the same sen

a jenny.
Several of the G. H. S. students
entered the poster contest, put on in
the “Milk-for-Health” campaign.
Rosa Willis, a freshman, won first
prize, which was $5. Her poster had
a picture of the world resting on a
bottle of grade A milk with the
slogan, “Milk, The Foundation of a
Healthy World,” written under
neath.
Katherine Kalmar, a freshman,
received the third prize, which was
$1. Her poster was made up of an
original picture of a healthy baby
drinking milk with the advice,
“Make Him Grow With Milk.”
Mary Edith Holmes, James
Smith, Sallie Privett, Grace Howell,
and Sarah Spruill also entered very
attractive posters.
