1927—Goldsboro Hi News—1937
The Hi !N^ews is this year cele
brating its tenth consecutive year
of publication.
Beginning its career as the Golds
boro High School News in 1927 with
Richard Parker and Bertha Eustler
as co-editors, the paper was published
twice monthly until after the Christ
mas holidays when it changed into
a monthly paper. Miss Beasley
was adviser to the stalf.
In the second year Merrette Moore
served as editor. Miss Beasley con
tinuing in the advisership. This
year the first journalism^ class was
begun with fifteen members.
Miss Perdue was the adviser the
third year wth Dan Powell editor.
Under their guidance twelve home
rooms went a hundred per cent in
selling subscriptions.
Adviser Changes
The fourth year of the paper,
Miss Gordner took over the adviser
ship and has continued to serve.
This year the first Junior Issue
was published and the later issues
were printed by Edwards & Brough
ton Co., Raleigh, N. C, who have
done the printing since then. Eliza
beth Cobb, as editor, helped get 600
subscriptions at thirty cents each.
In the fifth year, with Dorothy
Hooks as editor, the new Goldsboro
Hi J^Tews was granted the Quill and
Scroll charter when 5 seniors and 4
juniors were admitted. The paper
also joined the JSTSPA and was given
the rating of ‘‘Good.” The first
eight page paper in the history of
this paper was published, featur

Paper Rated Excellent
Under the leadership of Edgar

Three members of the staff won
national journalistic awards in a
. nation-wide contest. At this time

In the seventh year, Celeste

first 12 page paper was published,
as well as an Activities Issue sur

wood the rating of the ISTSPA was
again raised to “Excellent” and the
Quill and Scroll awarded a First

issues were the 12 page Senior Is

the 14 page senior paper were pub

SIPA contest. The Sophomore
journalists put out the second
Sophomore paper, this time the
“Hi I^ews, Jr.”
Edited After School
The tenth year is headed by
Ozello Woodward, editor. This
year there is no regular period in
which to edit the paper; so it has
been done in the limited time of
activity periods and after school.
For the third consecutive year the
NSPA gave the rating of “Excel
lent.” Outstanding features of the
paper have been the personality
column for the various school board
members and the department pages.
This year the subscriptions passed
all previous marks, a total of 562.
Tune: ^^Moonlight and Shadows"
Seniors, dear Seniors,
We bid you adieu,
As we say goodbye
We could almost cry
For you.
You have been helpmates
For us every year,
You have been our guide
Standing by our side
So near.
This is the end.
We’ll miss you, we know,
But we’ll be your friend
Where e’er we go.
Seniors, dear Seniors,
The time now draws nigh.
But we’ll meet again
Every single friend
Goodbye.
Primitive Life
I once was a member of a primitive
tribe,
That is the life I will try to describe.
We did not have very much indeed,
And we were always in great need.
Our home was not furnished very
much.
The people of today would not think
of such.
Our chairs were hard without any
backs,
And what clothes we had were made
of sacks.
The men worked hard all day long,
While in their heart were happy
songs.
The women worked also and did their
part.
Every one in the tribe was very
smart.
The savages often robbed our home,
And killed many men who chanced
to roam.
They often took everything we had,
Leaving us discouraged and very
sad.
We never had time for any play.
Like many children have today.
All of us had to work from morn ’till
night.
Keeping everything in the tribe
just right.
Our food was very hard to eat.
For all we had was corn and dried
meat.
Sometimes we never had anything at
all,
Because of the savages so bold and
tall.
I’m glad I was a member of the tribe
just the same.
Even though I haven’t won any fame.
At least I can tell what hard times we
had.
And the people of today should never
be sad.
Louise McDowell, ’40.
