May 17, 1935 'V G O L D B Q R 0 H I N W S Page Three SENIORS ENJOY CLASS PICNIC AT TUSCARORA Are you going swimming? “If you ask me, I think you’ll just have to swim out there,” mournfully sighs a senior. And it did look as if our Senior picnic on May 7 at Camp Tuscarora was going to be just another might-have-been. But it stopped raining, and we rolled into camp after one-half an hour’s backseat driving plus two human stop lights in the front. The very first thing we saw in the lake were those wicked looking sen ior boys just itching to duck the weaker sex. Ann, who by this time thinks she’s old enough to take care of herself, boldly led the attack. In the run several times for our most dignified senior, this lady sedately walks across the slippery raft and presto—^Ann isn’t where she used to be. The ladies and gents not aifected by the water bug listened to Cedric’s victrola what time somebody wasn’t knocking the top down. ISTow the last thing you’d expect to hear on a picnic is—when do we eat, but you can depend on these seniors. One by one they all tried to pull the front door down, but I just laughed and laughed ’cause I knew all the time the front door was nailed up- Around five^ o’clock we began watching the kitchen door like the stock market! At last! The drinks underwent wholesale murder. Dick shakes up ^ grape juice and then pulls the top off. Do you wonder he thouglit 0116 of the Yellowstone Park geysers had been misplaced? A horix prelude out front had called the gUests to their meal, Mr. Frank Garris’ predominating. After some unmistakably true imitations of members of our—ahem —faculty and student body by a few of OH), gifted seniors, after a few J-^real, alumni organiza tion, Wb all headed for the Cliffs. There was one young gentleman in our midst who had sworn off the use of bad language now and for- e'^^er, amen. But these tantalizing bad influences did everything but step on him, and the strongest ver- iiacular they could get was “mercy, iiiercy.” They gave up in despair. On the way to the Cliffs—which Wasn’t the way at all, for we didn’t know the way—we led a merry chase. James B. chases Archie but is left far in the rear only to find that he has on his emergency brake. Somebody forgot to take the cakes out of Jim’s car, and he slows up and hands them out the window to anybody who’ll take a chance on get- tiiig that near to him. Having arrived at the Cliffs, Alvin, Hal, James and Lillis proceed to do a Tarzan act Scaling the high cliff. Yeah, all came out alive. Harry sees ^ sjiake in the water, and since he’s Writing on snakes he swims after it in order to climax either him or the essay. Tommy, Alvin, ^nd Bayard took a dip too. I ^^opped Ikey’s car keys down the and for fear of committing suicide j down the Cliff rather jump off and left Jim to do the y^^^^ying. He got them out. Com ing back Ikey would go fast then slow, stop, start, turn off the radio, and We’d find Bing anyhow. At last We arrived in town—just an other bunch of lunatics. PERTINENT FACTS ABOUT SUPPLEMENT 1. What is the purpose of the supplement ? The purpose is two-fold: First, to give an additional month of schooling to every child. Second, to relieve the crowded conditions. It will not raise teachers’ sal aries above state rating. 2. Is there a need ? By no stretch of the imagina tion can anyone honestly conceive of a school or an individual do ing as much work in eight months as in nine. The results are evi dent. Many pupils continue to receive good grades, but these grades do not represent what they formerly represented. Like the dollar, they have been devaluated. An additional month is like an additional cultivation of a crop, it will add much more relatively than the initial cultivation. It is like the finishing touches added to any great work. Without them, the work is unfinished; with them, a masterpiece is developed. A glance only isi necessary to see the crowded conditions in the classrooms. In child life as in plant life, many are being crowd ed out and cannot receive the nec essary sunshine and fresh air of individual attention. Mentally many are greatly undernour ished. The stretch-out system has been fully tried in the public school system. As in other businesses, it has proved bad. ITot only do the operatives suffer, but in this case, the product, the children, suffer even more. 3. What will be the cost ? The maximum to^be voted upon will be twenty-five cents on the one hundred dollar valuation. This does not mean that the max imum will be levied. The rate will b^ determined later in the summer when the budget is made up. 4. What will be the procedure? First, all qualified voters in the Goldsboro Graded School Dis trict must register in the ward in which they live. This is a new Tegistration. EVen though you registered last month, you must register again in order to vote in this election. Second, get your neighbors to register. You want well-informed neighbors and friends in order that your entire community may be a good place to live. Third, on election day, vote for the supplement. If you do not vote, it will count against the supplement. Fourth, see that your neighbor votes for the supplement. Eay Armstrong, Supt. City Schools. Many Picnic Recently Three sophomore home rooms and four Latin Clubs in addition to the seniors have been picnicing at Camp Tuscarora recently. Freshman Latin Clubs were the first to go. Then the second period Latin II Club invited the third pe riod Latin II Club for a picnic, which was held Friday afternoon, May 10.

Two Vocational Courses May Be Denied Next Year The new state school law, recent ly passed by the ISTorth Carolina legislature, contains a clause that will definitely eliminate two voca tional teachers in Goldsboro High School. This means, simply, that 292 students who have signed up for commercial work next year will be denied the privilege of continuing their courses in typing, bookkeeping, shorthand; that 175 students signed up for Home Economics (Cooking and Sewing) will be compelled to pursue the less practical courses of fered because they will lack an in structor. The supplement, on which the citizens of Goldsboro will vote June 14, will provide f^ the addition of necessary faculty members. With out the supplement, however, G. H. S. will positively lose two of its vo cational teachers. CLASS EXERCISES are DRAMATIZED (Continued from page one) Williams, Sallye B.
