Never Rains^* To Be Junior Play/
Cast And Committees Are At Work
Students Provide Funds
To Pave School "Alley"
The circular drive in front of the
school, recently termed an “alley,”
is to be paved at last.
The Freshman, Sophomore and
Junior Classes have voted to pay
their share for the paving, which
will be approximately $55 for each
Uiass. TIm VVUi'A. will uti ubgaii in
the spring with the WPA furnish
ing the labor.
After the city had refused to pave
the “alley/’ Sidney Gordon and
Jimmie Hampton, the SA commit
tee to see about paving it, took the
matter up with the School Board
through Mr. Armstrong. The Board
reported that it would be impos
sible for them to pave it, in their
present financial condition.
Bringing the matter back to the
SA Council, the committee received
permission to hold a vote in the
classes to see if they would each do
nate an (equal amount to defray the
cost of materials.
The Seniors voted not to donate
a share as they had given $100 for
the school bus and they wished to
leave an individual gift to the school.
With the decision of the other classes
to help with the project, plans for
the paving are now under way.

’Member the song, “I Get the
Blues When It Rains” ? Well, if the
title of the Junior play holds out,
everybody will be happy and there’ll
be no blues, ’cause the title is “It
Never Rains.”
“Two’s company and three’s a
crowd,” Jimmy Rogers and Dorothy
Donovan clearly show Norleen Sears.
Aurania Rouverol’s story, “It Never
Rains,” also shows the life of two
average families, each pretending to

GHS Needs 492 Books
To Keep Library Rating
The GHS library needs 492 ad
ditional books and a charging desk
in order to remain on the list of
Southern Association of Accredited
Secondary Schools.
The library requirements for the
Southern Association of High
Schools become effective at the close
of the school session 1938-39.
Arrangements have been made
with the Building and Trade depart
ment to build a charging desk in the
spring. So the major drive is to
raise 492 books.
^ The library has 3,613 books and
w*ith the addition of 492 books there
would be a total of 4,105 books. This
would make an average of 5 books
for each student, which is the As
sociation requirement.
On March 14, 124 books had been
donated by students and 147 new
books ordered. This leaves 231
needed to meet standard require
ments.
The following people have donated
books: Edwin Lee, Billy McClure,
Frank Pate, Nancy Barden, Frances
Stafford, Buster Simmons, Mr.
Freeman, Marie Belk, Mitchell Bad-
dour, Kala Rosenthal, Lamuel Sum

Goldsboro Boys From UNC
Conduct Chapel Program
were home for spring vacation pre
sented a chapel program March 15,
to acquaint GHS students with life
at the University.
James Davis, candidate for presi
dent of the Carolina student body
for 1939-1940, opened the program,
stating that Goldsboro had between
30 and 35 students at the University.
He said Pete Heyward, a Phi Beta
Kappa, and George Ham, who made
all A’s last quarter, have been out
standing in scholarship at the Uni
versity; Jim Joyner, an adopted son
of Goldsboro who graduated from
the Roanoke Rapids High School,
Keith Eutsler, and William Dees
are prominent in the Student Gov
ernment ; Clifton James, a letter man
in cross-country, James Davis, na
tional track star, and Jim Joyner,
who has a letter for wrestling, are
representative athletes; Wiley Smith,
managing editor of the Yachety
Yach, has been in publications, while
Jim Wharton has gone forward in
music.
Jim Joyner spoke on student gov
ernment, saying any student activity
was a part of the student govern
ment. Students at Carolina are ex
pected to live up to these simple
codes : A student is on his honor not
to lie, cheat or steal; a student is
on his honor at all times to conduct
himself as a gentleman.
William Dees brought out the
striking differences between life in
high school, where a student’s time
is planned for him, and life at col
lege, where he has to do his own
planning and take advantage of all
the extra time between classes.
Pete Heyward began his talk about
the Carolina law school by saying
Chapel Hill doesn’t need any boost
ing and besides, “We lawyers don’t
want too many lawyers in the field.”
He made the point that, to him, law
is not the dull subject that most peo
ple think, because it is a study of
human behavior and human relation
ships. He believes math is a basis
for the study of law because it teach-
