SALUTE THE FACULTY!
Through the sacrifices and co
operation of the G. H. S. faculty
and our principal, the Junior Class
can present its Junior Play this
year.
What does this mean to you? It
should show that our teachers are
willing to inconvenience themselves
to carry on the things made almost
impossible by lack of funds allotted
to North Carolina’s schools.
We should realize the value of a
faculty so willing to make their bur
den less noticeable and give us the
same ^‘extras” we had under a nine-
months school term.
We salute the faculty!

HONOR ROLL
ASSEMBLY NOTES
“The Bible is the greatest source
of knowledge.”
Debaters, We Wont Two
Decisions in Favor of G. H. S.
Here’s to the debaters. Good luck and best wishes! G. H. S. is depend
ing on you to keep up her record. We know you can and will do it.
To us students it’s our duty to support our teams and help them in
every way possible. In the past excellent records have been attained.
G. II. S. has won the finals at Chapel Hill making the Aycock trophy
our final possession. In the year 1930 the teams were so superior that
our affirmative met our negative in the final clash. Edward Outlaw and
Billy Crow were opposed by Eleanor Bizzell and Ezra Griffin, the latter
team being victorious. This was the first and last time this has occurred.
Debaters, anxiously we will await the returns, feeling certain that you
will do your very best.
Personality is revealed through
our prayer life, character, actions,
and words.
“What we speak and what we do
is a revelation of what we are.”
“Where there is life there is
change, and where there is change
there is growth.”
“The greatest step of growth
grows out of the crisis of our lives.”
“Youth finds anchorage in eter
nal change.”
“Christ is the polar star of hu
man existence.”
Every
Class
Needs a Historian
Do you know what your class did in 1931? Have you any records
of that year ?
Hardly anyone knows what their class did only three years back.
Stop, think about it. What is the answer? Just this—we need a his
torian for each class. This person could be elected just as class officers.
They would make a scrap-book of the affairs of their class during that
year. Snapshot pictures of the officers, students on the various athletic
teams and class debaters would be pasted in. Any outstanding work
done by a pupil would be recorded. Minutes of class meetings would
hardly go astray.
Then when the senior class historian was elected it would not be nearly
so hard to “dig-out” the history of the class. Why it would be right
there ready to be selected.
Will you support this issue? It’s practicable, workable, worthwhile.
Don’t forget every class of G. H. S. should have and sorely needs a class
historian. Action brings action—that spells discussion on this issue
at the very next class meeting.
“Set the instrument of your
with the polar star of Jesus.”
“Personality is our inner self-
our real us.”
The are two changes: revolution
ary, a very rapid change, and evolu
tionary, a very slow change with
likeness to a glacier.
The "Flaming Torch"
Is No Longer Ours
The charter of the N’ational Honor Society has been revoked from
G. H. S.
Let honor be Avhere honor is deserved cannot be practiced any longer
in our high school to the fullest extent.
The IsTational Honor Society is an honorary organization for a very
selected number of high school students who possess character, leader
ship, scholarship, and service. Twice a year selections are made by the
faculty. The first time seniors are chosen, the second juniors and seniors.
It is an outstanding distinction to be elected and one of the greatest
honors a student may receive in high school.
Why was the charter taken away? Because our teachers are under
paid, classrooms overflooded, library too poorly equipped and the eight-
month school term.
There you are, the same story again. Often we wonder how long will
this go on, can the defects ever be made up, who will end it and how?
Our teachers slighted in numerous manners are underdoing great bur
dens for us. We still have interclass and triangular debates, Junior
play and entertainment, glee clubs and band, newspaper and clubs. On
the other hand many of the schools in ISTorth Carolina have been forced
to drop these all important extra curricula activities.
What have parents and citizens done? Eor the most part acquiesced
with the Assembly and Governor. Elders, you should form the opposi
tion, arise, demand for you and yours an overhauling in the educational
system of North Carolina. Go further. Vote for a supplement.
What you sow, you will reap. Does that hold true in regard to those
students eligible for the N. H. S.?
MODERNISTIC
Mary had a report card
On which the grades were very
low,
And every time she took it home
She didn’t (take it home).
Her mother went to school one day
To see what could be done.
This made the children laugh and
say:
“Some Fun, I’ll say.” .

the rating, the students are keeping

my best to do my duty to God and
My Country; to obey the scout
laws; to help other people at all
times; to keep myself physically
strong, mentally awake and morally
straight,” he emphasized the fact
that to live up to this law was' a
most difficult task, but if we were
man enough to be a real scout and
do so, we might some day look back
on our lives and remark with pleas
ure, well done—we came, we saw,
we conquered.

—Century Book of Facts.-
Is it Right or Wrong?
February 19.—As a means of dis-
tinquishing right from wrong. Rev.
Leon Russell of Pikeville, gave six
practical and useful tests.
Taken from a radio by Dr. H. E.
Fosdick, he prescribed these tests:
1. Is it sensible?
2. Does this rightfully belong to
me ?
3. Am I true to myself?
4. Would I like for this to be
known ? ^
5. Would my most admired per
sonality approve of this?
6. What will be the outcome of
this ?
Washington Defeated
February 21. — “Washington’s
First Defeat” was presented by Mrs.
T. G. Anderson’s home room.
Characters in the play w^ere:
George Washington, John Britt;
Lucy Grymes, Perrye Smith; Cam-
elia, the maid, Margaret Denmark.
Washington, in vain, sought the
hand of Lucy Grymes, who, realiz
ing he was only telling her what he
had told to many others, refused his
proposal.
Drink Takes the Man
February 22.—
“A man takes a drink;
A drink takes a drink;
A drink takes a man.”
“This is the fateful story of whis
key,” warned Mrs. W. B. Lindsay,
State President of the W. C. T. II.,
as she pleaded with the high school
students to abstain from alcohol, a
dreaded disease, drug, and narcotic.
She pointed out that one pint of
beer contained eight teaspoons of
alcohol. Taken into the system, this
alcohol goes all over the body in
thirty-seven seconds, acting on the
brain first. As a result of continu
ous use, the brain will become para
lyzed.
Powell Bland was elected Council
Parliamentarian at the Council
meeting, March 1.
This election was held due to the
fact that James Bizzelle, former
Parliamentarian, was not reelected
council representative by his club.
Washington Had Music
February 26.—The Glee Club
sang and told of the songs of Wash
ington’s day, Anni Staps told of
the music of Washington’s time,
when the spinnet, h^irpsicord, violin,
german flute, and guitar were the
popular instruments, and “The Girl
I Left Behind” was a typical song.
The three types of dancing, minuet.
Gavotte, and reels were described by
Betty Carrere, and the minuet was
demonstrated by members of the
club. The glee club gave two selec
tions, “Your Flag and Mine,” and
“Let Freedom Ring.”
