PAGE TWO m NEWS, JR, May 24, 1937. LET'S PRY OPEN THE LID CARTOON ANALYSIS. The boy is you; the pole is cooperaticn; and in the chest is the success of the Student Association. With your cooperation the chest can be opened to success. Hi News, Jr. Published by the Sophomore Journalists VOLUME II NUMBER 1 EDITORIAL STAFF Editor-in-Chief Mary Best Associate Editor Ernest Glisson News Editor Olivia Ferguson Sports Editor Charles Liles Feature Editors Ruth Hinson, Evelyn Colie Scouting Editors Mary Louise Parks, Gabe Holmes, T. L. Ginn Makeup Editors__Addison Hawley, Billy McClure Adviser Ida Gordner BUSINESS STAFF Business Manager Hugh Hortch Advertising Managers Randy Middleton, Hartwell Graham Circulation Managers Carolyn Langston, Grace .Hollingsworth Cartoonist Berta Parks Photographer Billy McClure WAIT YOUR TURN We understand that a number of you rising Sophs, who were plan ning to take first-year journalism, are disappointed. We would like to explain why and how it will be more beneficial in the long run for you to wait one more year. If first-year journalism remained a sophomore subject the present Juniors, who are now working on the Hi News, would lose the privi lege of working on the paper in their senior year. Seme of you Frosh miffht say you don’t care Bbc,ut the Seniors, but when you are Seniors you would be in the same predicament with no wav out. Also with the “Old Regime” in com mand all Hi News would be junior issues. We’ll admit you would have fun while you were juniors, but no matter how much you would want to work on the paper (we know you would want to because once work on the paper it gets into your blood) you would not be able to. But with journalism moved up to the junior year, seniors will be able to work on the paper. And so. Freshmen, you don’t have to shed any tears about jour nalism not being a sophomore sub ject. Your time is coming. TO OUR PRINCIPAL The type of person who, though tired and discouraged himself, tries to helo and encourage those around him should be highly commended. A good example of this type of person is Mr. Burt P. Johnson. Tired from meetings and responsi bilities of various kinds, anxious that the Goldsboro episode would go off all right, Mr. Johnson helped the members of the pageant go through five hours of long and tiresome waiting, at Durham re cently; footwearv and sleepy, Ay- cock and his followers finally went on, with the optimistic words ut tered by our principal resounding in their ears. Mr. Johnson deserves much credit for helping our episode go off so well. G. H. S. is appreciative. STICK BY YOUR MAN Whom are you going to vote for? When you petition a student to hold an office in the Student As sociation you have pledged your self in his support. When thirty persons sign a peti tion for a candidate and in the finals only eighteen vote for him, this is unfair to your candidate, the other petitioners, the election committee, the council, and the others running for this position. It is unjust to your candidate because he is expecting your support, and the other petitioners are expecting your aid, and the election commit tee has gone to the trouble of checking over all of the petitions. Let’s take voting in a more re sponsible manner and stick by “our man.” AT LAST IT'S COMPLETE Our most sincere thanks to the School Board. A mere “thank you” doesn’t usuall mean very much, but this time we say it from the bottom of our hearts. In January 1927 our building was used for the first time. At the first assembly crude board benches were used and the only completed part of the auditorium was the floor. We had then only the skele ton of our new beautiful auditor ium. The walls were not even plastered. With the help of the School Board the inside of the auditorium was completed in i932. In the same year the School Board gave the seats and the class of ’32, then Jun iors, bought the material and made the curtains and drops for the stage Xvith the proceeds of the junior plav. The auditorium was then com plete except for the light fixtures. Aeain the School Board came to our rescue, making the class of ’37 the first to graduate in a thorough ly completed auditorium. And so we say sincerely— “Thank you.” YES WE HAVE NO TENNIS I^et’s have a tennis team! We have a track team, a basket ball team, a football team, a swim ming team, a baseball team. So why not have a tennis team? Are enough students interested in tennis? If you think not, saunter over to the park some fair after noon and see the to-the-death struggle which are enacted in every court. Hear the caustic comments hurled at any who dare play in a court too long, list to the heart broken sigh that accompanies every ball knocked into the net, notice the fanatical gleam in the eyes of a tennis enthusiast, and I think that you will agree with me that tennis is a wonderful sport. Let’s have a tennis team! How many chews of chewing gum would a chewing-gum-chewer of-chewing-gum chew if a stick of chewing gum lay where Mrs. White knew? Looney I.imericks We all know him. There’s a fat swimmer named Hood. His hobby is hogging down food. He eats and he eats. On meats and on sweets And he floats like a hunk of wood! The woods are full of ’em' And then there’s that guy they call Glisson. To him we all hate to listen. He’ll chase everyone With a joke or a pun. We’d be tickled if he was found missing! Or could it be romantic? We’re pestered with that gal, Edith Jones. On class she sighs and she moans. When we psk “What’s the matter?” She says “Can the chatter; I’ve got reumatic bones.” Who could tihis be? This time it's a Sophomore lassie.. And all her friends call her “Cas- sie” She hums and she haws Just to strengthen her jaws. When she talks her eyes appear glassy! And what a career! There’s a certain Cozart called “Fat.” One on a hurdle he sat; The hurdle fell down. He fell on the ground. And his track career ended with that! The author, no doubt. And now we’ve come to the poet. If you give him a job he’ll do it. But when you come to his brain It’s dried up like grain He’s me, he’.«; dumb, and I know it! THE LETTER TASK I’m going home this summer. At times I’ll sit and wonder About those letters I must write Boy, oh boy! Thats some sight. I think I’ll write Mr. Mahaffey first Or he might blow up and burst. I better not forget Mrs. Cox either Or she might think I’m mad with ’er. I’d better not forget Mrs. White: She’s a good friend and it might start a fight. There’s another good teacher; it’s Miss Mewborn I’ll write her as soon as I get in New Bern. I’ll write one to Sarah, also, ’Cause if I don’t, up goes the steam and off she’ll go. I was about to forget my boss, John, ’Cause when I argue with him, you bet it’s fun. Above them all there’s my sugar Bless her heart! I could hug her and kiss her. —Ben Hill. ’39 Miss Mewborn, teacher. We Watch The Birdie, But “Lights! Camera! Everybody keep still! I’m going to snap it.” calls Miss Gordner. Everyone freezes and the deed is done. “Oh,” she wails, “the film wasn’t even turned to one. Sit down and we’ll try it again.” Yes, you’ve guessed it. The High News Jr. staff was getting its picture took! Miss Cone: Give an example of organized labor. Sleepy Glenn R.: A chain gang. Miss Ipock, disgustedly: “How much is three apples minus one apple?” Evelyn D. (pretending to be bright) “Four apples.”
