We're Proud of Our Campus; All Credit to You, GHS Gardeners Did you notice our west-side campus last Septem ber? Weeds were growing high; the appearance of our school was spoiled by the unkemptness of that part of our campus. But—have you observed the improvement being made during the year? Have you noticed how it looks now? Due to the efforts and enthusiasm of the Landscape Gardening activity the west-side campus has beeii changed from a broom sage field to a beautiful garden wliich enhances the beauty of the entire campus. Congratulations, Miss Taylor and Landscape Gardeners! We are extrcmiely ]jroud of our garden spot. By your digging, ploughing, raking and plant ing you have completed our campus, making it the most beautiful it has ever been! Success Depends on You! Xo chain is stronger than its weakest link. Are you W(*akeniiig our Student Association? Are you doing your part to strengthen the links? The success of of our association depends not only on the officials but on you as individuals. Although our committees are functioning and things seem to be moving successfully, we do not want our whole association judged by those students who do not cooperate or who fail to })erform their iuty. Soon an election for next year’s student assocnition officers will be held. One’s first duty to any organi zation is to participate in its voting. Since we are still young and in a very ci ueial pei'iod, it is neces sary that Ave choose officers that really are capable and interested in a successful organization. Here's to You, Our State Champions Hats off to Captain Casey and his swimmers! They have won the first State High School Swimming Championship to be given in North Carolina and the first state athletic championship to l)e won by GHS. Our gratitude to Coach Casey, Mr. Stapleton and Goldsboro’s Swimming Association! Through their interest and guidance our swimmers accomi^lished this feat when in the second year of competitive swimming. Coach Casey has had no training in swimming, but through his own initiative to study technique and form carried our team to this outstanding vic tory. We are particularly proud of Coach Casey, since he is a graduate of GHS and was Sports Editor •of the Hi ITews his senior year. I DREAMED I dreamed last night That he had to go; I reached for him— ^ One last kiss, one last caress. But, no, he just turned his head And Avept. And then— He was gone! ’Twas like a cloud come down To tear him from me. And , when I tried to follow, Alas, the cloud was gone! Suddenly, I awoke! The silvery moondust was Pouring dow'n through the Gosamer curtains in long Steady, silvery shafts; My body Avas drenched With the pure, refreshing Moondust. My eyelids Avere drenched With tears. —.Vngeline Casey, ’38 Mrs. White, Teacher. 1. Eye wish dat sum uv deez ear stew dints wood larn how 2 spel.

Be sure to read ^‘Keehole Komiks.” It’s 20 times better than “Baddour Babble, Jr.”—Author of ^‘Keehole Komiks.” PAID IN FULL “Slicker” McGee sat on the edge of his bed and thought over the happenings of last night. No, they couldn’t pin nothing on him. Mrs. Hogan didn’t knoAV he had been out. She knew he had gone to bed early, but she didn’t knoAv he had slipped out the windoAv fifteen minutes later. He was too smart for that. The rest had been a cinch. Dan Musgrave had died just as he had meant he would—fearfully, knowing all the while he was gonna be slugged. He laughed when he thought of it. Oh,. he Avas slick all right. They couldn’t catch him. There were no clues. He had wiped the finger prints off the rod and he hadn’t left footprints, and furthermore no one Avould know that Dan Musgrave Avas dead until his secretary found him this morn ing and he, ‘‘Slicker,” would have a perfect alibi. Any fool could have propped the stiff up to throw a shadow on the shade: Anybody passing would think Dan was just Avorking late. He looked at his watch. ‘‘’Bout time they found the body,” he mused aloud. “The world didn’t need that hunk of ham nohow.” No, “Slicker” wasn’t sorry he had bumped off a former pal. Hadn’t Dan stolen his wife, the pret tiest little kicker on BroadAvay? Hadn’t Dan faked evidence to send him up the river so he could have a clear road to Avin “Blondie.” “H—1, no, I ain’t sorry,” “Slicker” cursed softly. “Time I was moving though. A drink at Joe’s Avouldn’t hurt me none.” He reached toward the hatrack, but he turned pasty white, a sick feeling crept over his body as perspiration lay in great drops on his forehead. His hat was not there! He had worn it last night and last night he had been at Dan’s. The whole world would know. Wasn’t his name Avritten inside on the band? Hurriedly he began to throw clothes in a bag but as he did he heard the scream of a siren. Police ? Yes, there they were—too late now—they knew. Thoughts of the chair filled his mind. The smell of burning flesh seemed to fill his nostrils but he jerked himself together. They’d never get him. He had a gun. ^ “Is he up here?” a man’s voice asked. “Yes, we’re almost there.” Steps outside his door; noAv was the time. A sharp report filled the building and outside “Slicker’s” door the policeman halted. “Whose room is that ?” he snapped at Mrs. Hogan. “ ’Tis Mr. McGee’s room, sir. The door’s locked. Here is the key. I’ll open it, sir.” xVs Mrs. Hogan and the policeman entered the room- they Avere confronted by a grinning corpse with a small black hole in its forehead from AAdiich there sloAvly trickled a stream of blood. There Avas a tang of gunpoAvder in the air. “Mmm—suicide,” said Policeman Casey. “Did this man seem to haA^e any financial Avorries, Mrs. Hogan ?” “Oh, Avell, Ave’ll call the coroner, but now we’d better go get that drunk Ave came up here for.” It wasn’t until the next Aveek that Mrs. Hogan noticed “Slicker’s” hat hanging on the front hall rack Avhere he had left it the night before he died. —Tilley Horton, ’38. Mrs. White, Teacher. Pleasant Memories As Junior English students en tered Mrs. White’s room the Monday folloA\dng the Junior Play, they noticed on the board this tribute, paid by Mrs. White to the cast of “Life Begins at Sixteen” ; In Memoriam 1. “Jahie’s” ability to get on the stage on time. 2. “Scottie's” last minute rush to learn lines. 3. Mary Louise’s wrist that was held instead of her hand (also a certain tennis racquet). 4. Bobbie Anns “puffs” of excite ment about the bank robbel’y. 5. Ross’s dual personality — lover and forger of checks. 6. Frank’s dependability. 7. Ridley’s “near” cure of the snapping of fingers and his con tented expression AV'hen he’s dancing. 8. Helen’s calmness. 9. Jean’s dramatic voice saying, “Stop that man,” 10. 'Frances’ portrayal of a typical 16-year old. 11. ''Speed’s” hard work and 15- cent reserved seat tickets. 12. Harriet’s “formal” and the sweetness of her voice. 13. Joe’s smile and his inability to get “filled up” even on celery and cakes. 14. Hardy Lee’s chicken sandwiches and even temper. 15. Anni’s dialect. 16. Annette’s “props,” pins, pans and posies. 17. Jack’s good nature and ready wit. 18. Betty’s gun and scheming ways to get money. OPEN FORUM Columbia University New York City May 6, 1937. Mr. Ray Armstrong Goldsboro Public Schdols Goldsboro, North Carolina My dear Mr. Armstrong: Please accept my thanks for the program of your school fair. I am delighted to see hoAv your school is Avorking. I have read the statement AA'ith much interest and approval. It is a great pleasure to knoAv that this kind of development is going on in schools all over this country. With best wishes in every way, I remain. Cordially yours, Wm. H. Kilpatrick. Our Newest Member MR. W. G. BRITT “I am always glad to be of any service to the schools of Goldsboro,” state Mr. W. G. Britt, Avho is a new School Board member. “As school problems have ahvays interested me, I AA^as very happy to hear of my ap pointment to the Board.” According to Mr. Britt’s vieAvs, the Student Participation plan Avill be beneficial to the students in more ways than one. He thinks that the plan with the full cooperation of the students can be made a big asset to the school, Mr. Britt, after Avitnessing the Second Annual School Fair, com mented : “The Avork on the exhibits told the story of very hard and ex cellent work. The school children have, indeed, accomplished very many wonders and every person in Goldsboro with any interst in the schools should have visited the Fair.” Mr. Britt has no hobbies, but he is a sport enthusiast. Football and baseball hold his main interest. He is employed as the superintendent of the veneer mill by the Atlas Ply- AA'Ood Corporation. A graduate of (tHS, Mr. Britt receiA^ed his diploma Avith the Class of 1910. Incidentally, he Avas presi dent of the graduating class. Mr. Britt ’ later attended Wake Forest College. He is the father of John Britt, ’36, wdio is noAV attending the University of North Carolina and of Charles Britt, ’46. KEYHOLE KOMIKS - by "JABIE jabbers' ForeAvord: This is the first anni versary of this column, which is so ably Avritten (ahem) by, not that cute girl whom you hear so much about, but by that irresistible, in different, responsible, independent— (I better quit or I’ll have to hire a telpehone operator to handle all my calls). Figure this one out and I will corroborate (notice that big Avord) any statement Avhich concerns your high integrity of unsurpassable knoAAdedge. (I’ll have to memorize that and “speel” it off in English one day). Well, here goes anyway. William Mitcham: I dreamed that I Avas aAvake, but, Avhen I Avoke up, I was asleep. Speaking of dreams, one student said that I’d hate to dream about eating flannel cake and next morning awaken to find my blanket gone. Mrs. White: Name a collective noun, Jim. Jim Manly: Waste paper basket. Teacher: Here’s the way that I learned grammar (proceeding to demonstrate old method). Reese Bailey: Gosh! They taught that method to “crack-brained” student’s, didn’t they? And yet, my dear readers (I hope that there are a few of them any way) Reese wonders why he doesn’t get a better grade on English. One student (and a big guy, too) said that once Mr. Johnson looked at him and made him feel the size of a pigmy snail. (Hint: If anyone Avants to get rid of Bert G. then—). To the very few readers of “Bad- dour Babbles, Jr.”: That cute girl (this is sarcasm) proved that every one is ignorant. Noav the question that arises is—“Who is the most ignorant?” That is Avhat I am go ing to prove. The intelligence of a class depends upon the nuinber in the class. Fol lowing are the enrollments in the classes at the beginning of the year: Seniors 112, Juniors 207, Sopho mores 224, Freshmen 220. As it is obvious that the more education you have the more intelligence, Ave must alloAV for such. To the Freshmen Ave Avill add 10, bringing their total to 230. Each class is tAvice as smart as the one pre ceding it, thus Ave Avill add 20 to the Sophomores’ total, etc. Doli’t fol- loAV me too close or you might step on my pray-it-don’t-rain jobs (white shoes). Final tabulations are as folloAvs: Juniors 247, Sophomores 224, Freshmen 230, Seniors 192. By the totals Ave find that the Juniors are the smartest and the Seniors are the most ignorant. (All Seniors send complaints to: Mr. Smith of NeAV York City.)
