Entered as second-class matter October 26, 1931, at the postoffice at Goldsboro, North Carolina, under the Act of March 3, 1879 The Coming Event—All-School Fair The question o? the moment in our classrooms is: ‘^How can we show the public what we’ve accomplished this 3^ear?” Later, after the frames for the booths have been built, the question Avill be: “How can we separate oiir booths from the ones next to us?”^ : The night before the dooi‘6 Open students will be at work nailin", decorating, mounting and placing their laboref!-(t^’er contributions. The next day the pour iri—the tangible work of the schools during the current school year is on display. All eyes toward the Second Annual All-School Fair April 29, 80 and May 1! It’s time to gather ideas and to turn thoughts toward an honest repre sentation of our work during this school year. A Dream Comes True , A long desire of many students has been granted— the School Board has given the Student Association ])ermission to have school dances. ,rOur student body will show its ap])reciation through the success of the dances which tend to de velop the social graces of the participants. However, since it will take more than just those wiio already know how to dance to . make this new step successful, coaching lessons will be held after sbhool for students who want help with their danc ing. Students will volunteer to do the coaching. "'The Student Association appreciates the oj)por- tiinitv of the socials.' ' We're Off to a Good! Start (!; V, W .

That will give you an i!dea;of..a great ocean liner compared Avith the size of that^niajestic bliie-green AvateV. ' So it was that ill the, year 1929' one of these same' great liners; set bp4; again to cross’ that Avonderful,. awesome seia. The Columhusr was leaving the North Sea when the first ill omeii appeared—white capai on the already growing Av’aveS liko dashes of whipped cro'aiii on.your favorite pudding;: We were traA^eling swiftly into the storm that ])roA'ed to be the severest of the liner’s many voyages. - The shi]) began to sway slightly, and those Avhose stomachs A\^ei'e not in perfect order began to leave the dining room. The Avind was groAving more furi ous and th'e waves increasing in size. ALL IIAN’DQ; ON DECK-—to prepare for the lashing AvaA’es that- would soon lick the decks as fire consumes a lonely forest. All portholes Avere closed, and eA^ery passen ger except four men was seasick. When the storm struck like a mighty volcano, the sliip tremored,then slowly plodded on as if prepar ing for the fight ahead. The gale and the waA^es be gan to lash the decks with, all the force nature had given them. The rattling of the chains, the scream ing of' Avomen and children and the crashing of dishes added to the already deafening noises of the storm. This AViis not, just a storm, it was a fight between the forces of nature and the science of man, testing liis liners, his inventions to see if they Avere capable of fighting nature. Slowly, slowly there descended another evil of the ■ seas—fog, Avhich descends like a mask over its, Adc- tini. To bring about a climax, it Avas now not only the rattling of chains, the screaming and howling of the Avinds, but the foghorn,, which sounded like a ghostl}^ call amid all these other haunting sounds. For two days the ship made no progress. Those wlioTay in thei)- cabins cared not Avhether they lived or died. JSTot Avithout reason, for one Avould roll to one side , of his berth and then to the other. One could hardly lift One’s head and did not care to do so. M}^ mother was sick for nine days, and in those nine days did not eat even an orange. I Avas not very much better off. The second day of the storm Avas Sunday, and had lessened none Avhatsoever; it had only changed. In stead of rolling from side to side one was now tossed up and down as if one Avere on a little boy’s rocking- horse. EA’-eryone kneAv that God, and God. alone, could saA’e the ship from disaster. To add to the feeling of sadness and isolation the ship’s band be gan to play the faA^orite old hymn, “Nearer My God to Thee,” which made us feel as if aa^c Avere never to see land again. At, last, on the eleA’enth day, the long-hoi)ed-for land was sighted, and the many white sea gulls flut tered about the ship as if they, too, Avere glad we had arrived safely. When in the distance we saAv the magnificent Statue of Liberty looming aboA^e the sky scrapers of New York City, we felt a thrill of glad ness and thankfulness creep into our anxious hearts. The horrible nightmares of the past Avere lost to the joy, of again seeing the good, firm soil. We hoped never again to be—Tossed About! ' ’ —^Anni Staps, ’38. : Miss MeAvboni, Teacher.

Our Merchant ®PDPD@M Teachers and Fellow- Students: . Being one of them, I Avould like to express the appreciation of the cduntry students for the warm re ception we have had in Goldsboro High School. Our parents Avere greatly dis tressed this past fall because our brothers and sisters who are fresh men could not attend GHS. They know a good thing Avhen they see it. We realize, however, why it was impossible for our freshmen to at tend here, and we hope that by the time all of us are graduated, the problem of crowded conditions Avill have been solved. In our minds, that is Goldsboro High School’s greatest obstacle. Sincerely, Mabel Deans, ’37, Fellow Students: Do you know who’s captain of our baseball team? Do you knoAv hoAV many games our basketball teams won and lost? Do you know the score Avhen a game is over ? Do you know who’s on our swim ming team ? Do you knoAv our track team’s record ? Well, why don’t you ? ' I believe that one reason is be cause you don’t know the games and this causes interest to be lag ging. If you don’t know the above questions your interest is not func tioning properly for a GHS student. But how can you Avork up your interest ? By helping get started ill our school a program of ‘^know your sports.” In. this home rooms would, play a vital part. In the home rooms there Avould be an athletic committee which would halve charge of a home room period ever so often. During thiese times one sport which is practiced in GHS Avould be the topic for discussion. The sport would first be explained, questions AVould be asked and answered, .and then the history of the sport in GHS would be told. I feel that if this program was carried on students would become interested through knowing about their sports and the problem of sell ing tickets and putting sports on a break-even basis would be only a minor detail in our gport program. ; ■ Hopefully yours,, Hazel Shaver,’37, MR. tiONEL WEIL A man full of ideas for the city schools is Mr. Lionel Weil, mem ber of the Goldsboro Graded School Board. He sees the need of Vocational training in the schools 'particularly in agriculture. He feels this added training would be as essential as any subject. He likes to see {Students doing useful things that Avill enable them to capitalize later. Also Mr. Weil favors the full support of all school athletics. He is interested in forms of recreation for young people and played a leading part in the erection of the Wayne County Me morial Community Building. According to Mr. Weil’s vieAvs an emergency is on hand in the prob lem of croAvded classrooms. In this he finds no justice for teacher or pupil. ' Since the Student Association places responsibility upon the Stu-r' dents and more capable fits them for the future, Mr. Weil thinks it a fine thing to have. Governments prove quite interesting to him and especially the form of government for our town. Mr. Weil fears he has too many hobbies but his two main ones are experimenting with plant life and testing for ncAV methods of fertiliza tion. Mr. Weil is a member of the firm of H. Weil and Brothers and has been since his graduation from the University of North Carolina. He also graduated from GHS. He is the father of Lionel Weil, Jr., ’27, coach of the GHS track team. I : For the past fourteen years the Piedmont .(California) High School jhas had - an activity fee plan. Prac tically 100 per cent of the students support'’it. Activity Fee-—Pro and Con A timely topic for school dis cussion is the activity fee now being planned for next year. This is, a' fee ^ to be paid at the beginning of each year and Avill include all school activities such , as sports. Hi News and all school socials. he School Board favors the plan iand the P-TA has given no opposir tion. Here are a few openly ex pressed opinions. . * William Dees: I think the activity fee is a very fine plan for collecting hioney for school functions. It will enable every student to attend these functions and therefore promote more school spirit. Frances O^Steen: For the student’ who, can’t .go to all the games andt ^chool affairs that sometimes are close together, the activity fee en ables the student to enioy all of them.- , ■ ., , .'' Mr. W. A. Dees, chairman of the! School: Board: The activaty fee is, i think, a very fine* plan.
