Students Push Campaign
Over Goal Set By Staff
The Hi News subscription drive,
directed by James Heyward, closed
October 23 with the record-smashing
total of 560 1/2 subscriptions, far
surpassing the previous record of
512, set in 1934.
The Senior Class captured the
coveted class banner with 151 1/2
subscriptions. For the first time
the Freshman Class with 102 1/2
subscriptions beat the Sophomore
Class, which brought in 90 1/2 sub
scriptions. The Juniors secured
216.
Each striving to surpass the
other, the home rooms of Miss Ipock
and Miss Gordner brought in 14
and 19, respectively, the last day
to tie for the home room prize with
200 per cent each. The staff voted
to give duplicate prizes—sweater
emblems—to each student in both
rooms.
Mrs. Stevenson’s freshman home
room, led by Eliza Cox, who turned
in 16 subscriptions, surpassed all
other freshman and sophomore
rooms, setting a record for future
classes.
Frances Coward, Mary Sher
man, Eliza Cox and George Ham
won the individual student prizes
■—season tickets to all GHS sports
contests played in Goldsboro dur
ing the remainder of the school
year.

SEVERAL CLASSROOMS
CHANGE APPEARANCES
Miss GHS?
Miss Goldsboro High School
will be either tall, short or
medium; blonde, brunette or
redheaded; and “undoubtedly
popular.” Her identity will be
made known at the big square
dance tonight.
Five cents is charged to nomi
nate a girl and one cent for each
vote. So far the popularity con
test is plenty heated. Girls, it’s
an honor; and boys, it’s an honor
to have a girl who’s the winner
of this popularity contest.
Classes Discuss
Participation
Upperclassmen to Hear Report of
Student Congress and Plan
For Organization
The transformation of certain
GHS classrooms resembles that of
a brightly colored butterfly emerg
ing from a dull gray cocoon.
In Miss Ipock’s geometry room
the desks have been rearranged
nearer the back of the room, leav
ing a space for two work tables at
the front. Geometric designs form
the decorative motif in the curtains,
seat covers and linoleum rug. The
curtains, seat covers and colorful
pottery on display were made by the
students.
Miss Beasley’s room, with the
desks arranged in a semicircle, has
a colorful linoleum rug on the open
floor space.
Miss Downing’s room has taken
on the appearance of an artist’s
workroom as well as an English
room. The desks have been re
arranged and work tables put in.
Miss Chaffin’s freshman English
room has a colorful arangement.
DOWN the HALLS
Glances and
Comments
EARLY BIRD: It seemed to Dr.
Rose of the School Board that the
school was subscription conscious,
as about fifty called on him one
afternoon to get his subscription to
the Hi News. But the early bird
caught the worm.
ARTIST: At the suggestion of
Virginia Lee, Hi News reporter for
Miss Chaffin’s room, a member of
the staff dropped in to see the draw
ings made by the fourth period class
after a visit to the J. P. Taylor To
bacco Stemmery. One drawing
especially stood out—that of colored
women, dressed gaily, working at a
long table. It was drawn by Filie
Person on l^omespun with crayolas.
Watch for her; she’ll shine in the
art field.
“COLORS TRUE:” During the
week before the Durham game Dot
Parker and Miss Langston or
ganized a cheering squad. Gay tams
and scarves in school colors ■ were
distributed to the girls in the squad.
A “pep” meeting was held on the
auction market square on the eve
of the big event and was followed
by an organized march through town
while the GHS band played. The
squad really was a credit to GHS
spirit both before and during the
game.
MUSEUM: Step right into Room
9, folks! It’s Miss Cone’s history
(Please turn to page six)
Today the eyes of GHS will be
focused on student participation as
the Junior and Senior Classes in a
joint meeting consider its adoption.
The meeting today is an out
growth of several weeks of discus
sion which started in Miss Beasley’s
home room. To forward the idea
of student participation six dele
gates—Miss Beasley and five sen
iors, Mary Elizabeth Rackley, Irene
Mitcham, Carolyn Smith, Annie
Laurie Howel and, James Zealy—
attended last week-end in High
Point the tenth annual North Caro
lina Student Council Congress.
The following plan for initiating
lilt; or^ani/a.llou of studuiiL pai tlci-
pation in GHS will bo presented
at the meeting this morning:
Each home room is to elect a
representative to serve on a central
committee with Miss Beasley and
Mr. B. P. Johnson as advisers.
This conmiittee, meeting on Mon
days and Wednesdays at activity
period, is to form the plan for per
fecting a form of student participa
tion in GHS.

NUMEROUS ATTRACTIONS
PLANNED FOR OCCASION
Proceeds Go To Boy Scouts, Girl
Scouts, Miss Downing's
English Classes
“Swing your partners!” “Step
lively, ladies!” “Promenade!” will
echo through the AVilliam Street
Gymnasium tonight at the square
dance sponsored by the Boys’ and
Girls’ Scouting groups and Miss
Downing’s Sophomore English
classes.
The popularity contest, which was
begun Thursday, November 5, will
terminate tonight with the crown

Many GHS girls are entered in the
contest but it is not too late to enter
another. The price to nominate a

During the past week the com

will be thoroughly enjoyed by all
of the patronizers.
Profits from the entertainment
will go to purchase necessary sup
plies for the Boy Scouts, Girl
Scouts and Miss Downing’s sopho

EXPERIMENTAL CLASS
FUNCTIONS AS SENATE
In step with the modern educa
tional trend toward experimenta
tion, the first period senior English
class and the second period Ameri
can history class, both taught by
Miss Beasley, have been made into
a double period class.
English and history were coupled
because of their aptness to over
lap. GHS is among the first schools
in the United States to give this
combination a test.
The class chose to organize like
the United States Senate. Miss
Beasley was chosen president and
acts as supervisor. The class mem
bers call themselves senators and in
accordance with the Constitution the
vice president presides. Each
“senator” has chosen a state to fol
low through the year.
A constitution set up by the class
is being followed closely. Eleven
committees have been formed, using
each member at least once. The
chairmen of each committee to
gether with the organization’s of
ficers form the executive cabinet.
The Work Guide committee
chooses the unit in the Work Guide
for the class to study and plans
ways of studying it. The Scholastic
committee has a day each week for
presenting interestingly the contents
of the Scholastic. “Learn by read
ing” is emphasized by the literature
committee. Interesting book and
movie reviews are given every morn
ing due to the interest stimulated
by this committee. The property
