Aycock Chapter of NHS
Initiates New Members
One junior, Olivia Ferguson, and
three seniors, William Thompson,
George Ham and Bobbie Anne San
born, were tapped into the Charles
B. Aycock Chapter of the National
Honor Society during an impressive
ceremony on March 31.
Dr. Legh R. Scott emphasized the
significance of the four requirements
for eligibility into the Society—
scholarship, leadership, service and
character.
Other members of the Society now
in school are James Heyward,
James Crone, Jack Wharton, Eoss
Ward, Jean Edgerton, Jane Smith,
Mary Baddour and Helen Moye.
This last tapping brings the total
membership to 55 since the Society
was organized in GHS in 1932.
Mrs. W. P. Middleton is the spon
sor of the Aycock chapter.

Seniors Base Essay Topics
On Personal Experiences
Most of the senior essays, which
are being written informally, have
been completed.
Years ago essays were based en
tirely upon research work and facts.
Xow, however, under the more pro
gressive teaching, they are written
on personal experiences and the stu-
As a project in first period
Physics Class, Arnold Barwick and
Tommie Daniels have constructed a
gruesome-looking diving helmet out
of an old galvanized iron tank. At
first glance the helmet would appear
to a person as being something that
“Buck Rogers” would entangle with
on Mars.
This helmet has been constructec’
for the purpose of taking sub-aquatic
pictures. At the present time plans
for making an under water camera
are being worked on.
In order for the diver to work
with ease, Ellis Joyner built a two-
way communicative system consist
ing of two microphones and ear
phones. Due to the darkness ir
depfhs of ten feet or more, a strong
light enclosed in a water tight can
has been rigged up for the diver to
carry down with him.
A strong rubber hose which con
nects the pumps with the helmet sup
plies the air. In the helmet several
valves have been made so the diver
will remain safe if the air hose is
severed. These valves will let air
come into the helmet and not let it
go back up the hose.
The weight of the helmet, which
is about fourteen pounds, is not
enough to take the diver under, due
to the amount of air inside the hel
met, so an additional fifty-four

be made. The bottom of the helmet
is left open and the pressure of the
air inside the helmet forces the water
down to a safe level.
After a week of experimenting,
the longest dives are held by Tommie

After experimenting in the Com
munity Pool, the boys went to Cres
cent Lake, which is reported to be
about twenty feet deep. Tommif
Daniels and Billy Morgan succeeded
in remaining under a depth of fif
teen to eighteen feet for about eight
minutes each.
Having conquered the depths of
the local lakes, plans are being made
to travel to Wliite Lake and the coast
where the boys expect to make in
teresting pictures in the deep.
Well, it’s spring—or it should be
’cause it’s May, but it’s raining and
that always has a discouraging ef
fect on the romantic side of the hon
orable school system. But we’re a
hardy lot and the strongest always
survive.
The strange part of all this is that
there aren’t any of those newsy
triangles. True love seems to be run
ning very smoothly. To begin with
—the unapproachable Mcllhenny
has succumbed to wiles of Mildred
Lee—the older one in this case. As
heretofore mentioned, M.L., the
younger, still goes strong for that
F. Irwin. And still hanging on are
G. Stenhouse and Rena G. Just
like Harold M. and Sara Jeffreys.
These underclassmen are able to
set the dignified uppers a good ex
ample ’cause they’re so very perma
nent. N’ow, you take Vivian M. and
Francis J. They’re a mighty cute
couple but you never can tell about
them. In a minute they’ll go off on
a tangent, as did Joe P. , Everyone
knows that his heart goes out to one
senior, but he philanders too much
for her; so Jean has taken on George
S. ,and Jack W., who by the way is
an old, old flame finding the spark
still burning.
We have another new affair just
blossoming into view under the in
fluence of the spring rain and sun
shine. In the language of the com
mon-—V. Modlin and Ray Gardner
are that-a-way over each other. Right
along side of them, J. Hunt and
Lucielle W. seem to get along very,
very well together.
Still Kala and Faison T., Ann D.
and Ike M., Elsie Hooks and Louis
Tilghman, Charles E. and “Agnes
from Grantham” give all the evi
dence that in the spring a young
man’s—and young woman’s—fancy
lightly turn to thoughts of love. To
be quoting Shakespeare or maybe
Robert Benchly.
Before I get too mixed up for the
good of my health—here’s wishing
you a very lovely romance with all
the fixings.
English Class Publishes
Mimeographed Paper
In a school that already has two
newspapers, a third one has ap
peared. Miss Beasley’s double-period
class of Sociology-Economics-Eng-
lish has recently published “See
Lites,” an eight page mimeographed
paper.
The publishing of the paper was
an outgrowth of a class study of
newspapers. As this paper included
every phase of newspaper Avork
which they had studied, such as edi
torials, news stories, sports and
feature, it served as a final test for
the project.
Several snapshots of the class were
purchased by the students and pasted
in their individual papers.
Helen Moye and ISTancy Pipkin
served as editor and assistant editor,
respectively. Responsible for the
printing were Willie Boykin and
Richard Whitfield. The remainder
of the class held minor staff posi
tions.
Beware
Big gals, fat gals, tall gals, litt'
gals, wide ones and narrow ones.
Uh-huh! It’s the teachers froir
ECTC (Greenville) and they’re vis
iting our solid rock of a school
(Alcatraz). There ain’t many men
in the bunch (Oh, heck), but these
GHS boys seem to be going around
in a daze. Look at those hats, will
you? (We have to slam them some
way—’cause our old stand-bys—the
boys—left us flat when they arrived).
Oh, yes, I was slamming the hats.
They look like “pill-boxes,” “baby
bonnets,” “colonels,” and “Paris
monstrosities.” They are trying to
look educated and -serious (but I
know all the time that they have as
much fun as we do). We forgotten
women of GHS breathed a sigh of
relief when THEY left, and figured
that we were cute enough to hold
our OAO—until another good-look
ing girl cuts in).
