and Miss Beasley chaperoning.

sports of the afternoon. A portable
victrola, as some one said, “came
in quite handy.”

though none of them were very
serious. One car full of girls went
over to Mount Olive, and didn’t get
back until after supper. However,
they had enough lunch to tide them
over.
Lillian Gordon’s mother had sent
her a birthday cake, unknown to

Contests Are Entered; Current
Events Studied; Special Ad.
Issue Gotten Out
Although the Journalism Class
of 1931-’32 has been a new addition
to the curricula of the Goldsboro
High School, it has made remark
able progress and accomplished
many outstanding things during its
nine months in existence.
There are 23 members in the
class under the leadership of Miss
Ida Gordner. The position each
holds may' be found in the mast
head in the upper left hand corner
on the editorial page.
_ The aim of the group at the begin
ning of the year was to have nine
issues of a six page, good quality
paper.
The Hi IsTews during the year has
been financed by a subscription
campaign, sufficient ads to carry
their proportion of the cost of the
paper, the class sponsoring pictures,
and contributions.
Yery interesting material has
been in the paper each time. Steady
improvement in writing ability and
a sense of responsibility has de
veloped on the part of many in the
class. The K S. P. A. gave the
paper a rating of good to excellent
and the paper was considered good
enough to enter io the State Con
test.
A keener interest has been taken
in current events this year due to
the fact that each member was re
quired to read a new'spaper daily.
There was a discussion of the cur
rent events each day on class.
The class has received a mailing
permit which will be good as long
as it is not abused.
There is also a good bit of ma
terial for the morgue.
A picture of the school, cuts for
ads, football team, drum major,
“Strange But True” and a picture
of the Senior Class.
The graduation exercises of the
forty-seventh Senior Class of Golds
boro High School will be held to
