OUR LOSS; THEIR GAIN When old friends part, mere words can’t express their real feelings and appreciation of each other. So, we find it hard to tell our friend and adviser, the retiring principal of our school, Mr. Johnson, how lost we feel without him. We appreciate all his interest in us and the im provements he has helped bring about in our school; as well as his high standard of honor and his genuine, helpful guidance. new fifl V ' position! Our loss fs fheir gam. G-oorl luck Boos Are Out Imagine you are a player on our basketball team and are playing out of town. You are in a packed gym and ready to shoot for a free shot. You are poised and composed, muscles relaxed and the ball is ready to leave your hands. Suddenly someone cries ‘‘boo!” and more people take it up and still more laugh and make a lot of noise. You find your poise is gone and your nerves, your muscles are tightened and your shot goes wild. That very thing has happened in our gym! Can’t we be courteous, quiet (at the proper time) and re spectful of the other team ? It’s up to us! The Educated Person: Is sensitive to the disparities of human circum stance ; Acts to correct unsatisfactory conditions; Respects honest differences of opinion; , Is a cooperating member of the world community; Acts upon unswerving loyalty to democratic ideals. —From The Purposes of Education in American Democracy. The American Way Since the world is very much concerned at present about an ideal known as democracy, let us turn our thoughts to the evidence of democracy found right- here in GHS. We are a democratic group, for we enjoy much freedom that is denied students of other schools. There are very few ‘‘golden rules of school” that we must obey, and this certainly spells democ racy. However, true democracy allows freedom to an individual until it “infringes upon the rights of another.” Students, we are free to enter the building at lunch period and we are also free to wander up and down the hall, to talk and make noise. But we enjoy this freedom at the expense of others. While we are mak ing noise others are trying to study behind closed doors, and they find it difficult because of our in- considerateness. This is carrying freedom too far and .something must be done right away. Unless it is ,'stopped the Council and faculty will have to take •action. (This will probably mean putting monitors, ,or student police in the halls.) So as democracy is fighting for existence in the world today, it is also fighting for existence right under our. roof. Let’s correct our faults and see that it reaches its goal! LIBRARY NOTES Suppose you try— The Yearling, by Marjorie Kin- nan Rawlings—It’s just a simple story about the life of a poor fam ily in the South—yet, it’s so well written and so true that it has be come a best seller. The story deals with Jody, a typical poverty-stricken boy who finds the need of a pet, something to love and care for— Finally he becomes the owner of an adorable little fawn. It is around this fawn that the climax is cen tered. Among other things it teaches Jody to accept responsibility grace fully. Sailor on Horseback, by Irving Stone. It could not help being an ad venturous novel, since it is the bi ography of the exciting, dynamic Jack London. You are perhaps fa-' miliar with some of London’s nearly fifty books: The Son of Wolf, The Call of the Wild, White Fang, and The Sea Wolf. Are you interested in becoming a doctor? If so, try The Citadel, by A. J. Crowin. This book takes place in England and deals with the temp tation of being a “rich” doctor or just a doctor. Arrowsmith, by Sin clair Lewis, deals with the field of medical research. An American Doc tor’s Odyssey, by Ileiser, and The Horse and Buggy Doctor, by Ilertz-^ ler, also present interesting prob lems of the men of medicine. G^TT Dear Students: This is for those of you who may have problems about your activities. During activity period both Miss Gordner and I are busy and neither of us is able to help you with your activity problem at that time. Miss Gordner is sponsoring Journalism and I in-band, which^i^ ^ claafc|L^ It has been announced a number^ of times that I will be in the library every afternoon and will be glad to transfer you, if you desire. Yet, many of you continue to interrupt both Journalism and band to find out if you can secure a transfer. As no transfers may be obtained except after school, I would like to request each of you to cooperate with the Activity Committee by get ting your transfer at the right time. Sincerely, Olivia Ferguson, Chairman Activity Committee. Boys: We’re proud of you and your fine basketball playing. We’re proud of your clean playing. We’re proud of your sportsmanship, but there’s a catch to it! We’re ashamed of the reports concerning your behavior at the party given by the basketball teams for you after a recent out-of- town game. We said reports, because we are not certain that you are guilty of misconduct. We’re asking you. Some Goldsboro people who were there said when you went to get some refreshments at the party after the game you shouted and acted like a “bunch of pigs!” Those are the exact words! You are such a fine bunch of boys that it kinda’ hurts to have you called a “bunch of pigs!” ISTeed more l)e said? Let these words remind you as a Goldsboro High School team and as individu als that we’re counting on the best in you at parties and elsewhere. Don’t disappoint us! “A Junior.” Thanks to Mr. New Mr. N’ew, the students of GHS would like to express their apprecia tion for the initiative and effort you showed in getting the State Sym phony to play for us. We enjoyed it, thanks to you. Helen Moye, ’38, last year’s Hi l^EWS editor, is now attending An derson College and has been elected Freshman class cheerleader. Please, Flea Please, flea. Can’t you see I’m tryin’ to sleep, flea ? Go ’way and leave me alone, cruel flea, Please, flea. O, flea, Why must you pick on just me, flea ? There’r plenty more dogs ’sides me, flea. Go ’way, flea. Please, flea. If you don’t stop it, flea. You’re gonna drive me crazy, flea. Git, flea. Darn flea, I suppose it’s just my destiny To be always haunted by a flea; Darn flea! Dot Creech, ’39, Mrs. White, Teacher. The Rush to Lunch The bell was ringing long and loud; I sprang up from my seat: At once the air was filled with sounds Of hurrying, scurrying feet. The door beside Avas open wide And o’er its sill I flew. Forgetting all the rules of school And all my manners, too. For quite a wliile it seemed to me The world was all a rush; I was so tired from running so, I thought my lungs would burst. And then I came to a sudden stop With glee, for things were fine. My worries wore all over then—. I’d reached first place in line. Sonny Boney, ’40, Miss Gordner, Teacher. Sickness in the Family At our house when Pa gets sick, He lies in bed and groans. We all stand ’round and sympathize While the house resounds with moans. He acts just like he’s dying, And each moment is his last. And Ma hovers near and holds her breath. Until his spell has past. But at our house when Ma gets sick. You ought to hear Pa snort; He says it seems that women folk Are always out of sort. But Ma just smiles a little And says it’s quite all right; She says it’s just because She couldn’t sleep last night. When Ma ain’t feeling right Pa doesn’t worry a bit; But just let Pa get sick And Ma nearly has a fit. Margie Wooten, ’39, Mrs. White, Teacher. Tonight I just can’t write a thing tonight. It isn’t because I don’t have light; I just can’t write a thing tonight. Later on tonight Again I decided to try to write. “A cat” A cat began to scratch and squawk. Worried me while I tried to talk. I yelled and told him he must hush Threw my book and old shoe brush. All of this did no good—no good— So I wrung his neck, right where he stood. Evelyn (“Longfellow”) DilLon, ’39. Mrs. White, Teacher, PARTING IS SUCH SWEET SORROW" I want to ask some questions of all you other seniors. Okay? Well, here goes. Does it make you feel queer inside and sorta mixed up to go in Miss Gordner’s room and see the Senior invitations on the bulle tin board ? It does me. After all these years of wondering how I was going to get out of what I termed a jail house, I am now trying to think of an honest way to keep from gradu ating. Does it make you want to shed a few tears when you walk down the hall and suddenly remember that your senior year is fast drawing to a close, that in only about 74 school days you will no longer be a part of GHS? After then you will be just another ex-stude, wandering around the halls, thinking perhaps that it will bring back the good ole days, but it never does. It just doesn’t work. Have you ever been told that you never have as much fun in your life as you do while you’re a senior ? Don’t you believe it’s true ? I do. It’s fun to think that you’ve been out here as long (or longer) than any body else and therefore know more about everything than anybody else, and it’s fun to imagine that the un derclassmen look up to you and sorta follow your example. We, the class of ’39, are coming to the end of the trail. We have shared alike, the hardships and the joys that confront every class. We have had fun and we have enjoyed being together. We are on the home stretch, and soon-we will all be go ing in different directions. What will the future bring? F. Y., ’39. Facts About the Faculty A number of GHS teache'fs" will talk at the State I^orth Carolina Ed ucation Association meeting in Ra leigh on March 16, 17, 18.
