Goldsboro, N. C., March 6, 1942
Fifty Cents Per Year
Seven Seniors
Taken Into NHS
Billy Charlton, James Crow, Bob
Kemp, Helen Denning, Gertrude
Edgerton, Effie Ruth Maxwell, and
Ruth Weil were tapped into the
National Honor Society at a candle
light ceremony on March 3.
The Reverend Mr. John K. Las-
ley, pastor of the Good Shepherd
Lutheran Church, developed the
meaning of the four qualities on
which entrance into the society is
based—scholarship, character, lead
ership, and service:
“A member of the National Hon
or Society must excel in scholar
ship. ‘Know the truth that the
truth may make you free’. The
world needs men with character
combined with scholarship. Just as
a knife in the hands of a murderer
is dangerous and a knife in the
hands of a surgeon saves lives,
knowledge in the hands of a man
with no character is destructive,
while knowledge in the hands of a
man with a fine mind is indespens-
able to human progress.
“Judas probably had just as much
learning as Peter, and Aaron Burr
allegedly had more than George
Washington, but Judas and Burr
did not have the high ideals neces
sary to make their learning useful.
Service and leadership are closely
combined qualities because ‘he who
could be greatest among you must
be l.iast.’”
Installation
Miss Lena Taylor, NHS adviser,
handed Edwin Lee a letter from
the faculty containing the names
of seniors to be tapped, each sealed
in a separate envelope. Edwin, a
twelfth grader, the only NHS mem
ber tapped in 1941 still in GHS,
took charge of the initiation. He
asked Hilda Liles who, as SA secre
tary, acted as secretary for the
Society, to read the letter. Ned
Hart, president of the Junior Class,
Pat Stanley, vice-president of the
Junior. Class, and Ila Mae West,
vice-president of the Sophomore
Class, assisted EdwiA in the tap
ping.
Principal J. W. Gaddy administer
ed the oath of the Society to its
new members.
The faculty decides those who
are eligible for NHS membership.
Society regulations require that 15
per cent of the Senior Class may
be taken in.
Susan Lupton played “Largo”
backstage during initiation.
Special BulleUn
A “Better Foods Campaign”
opens today in GHS with the assem
bly program by the biology students.
Page 2 carries a column of food
jingles and page 5, a picture and
informative material concerning the
campaign.
Swish.Sw:ng!
Come on, studes, grab on to the
tail end of one of those kites and
let the March wind blow you
right to “ye olde gyme” tonite to
the “Swish-Swing”, the second SA
social. Don’t forget to bring along
your woman and breeze around on
that wonderful hardwood floor. The
more the merrier, we say.
There’s gonna be a raffle of two
of Uncle Sammie’s Defense Stamp
books on throughout the dance. For
every ticket you buy a stamp will
be put in one of the books. Bring
along some dimes and let’s fill both
of them.
Natcherly, the floor show will
be sensational as will be the punch
which will be served all during the
dance. '
The geniuses behind this brain
storm are: Messrs, Billy Carlton,
chairman, Pepsi Hinson, John
Holmes. Billy Weathers, Macon
Michaux, J. D. Pike, and Misses
Mary Emma Rouse, Susan Griffin,
and Elaine Brown.

Senior Committees
Showing Progress
With commencement drawing
nearer. Seniors are developing
plans for graduation. Committee
chairmen reported their progress at
the Senior Class meeting March 4.
The Reverend Mr. Eugene Olive
of Wake Forest has been secured
by the Baccalaureate Committee to
preach the Baccalaureate Sermon
on May 31, announced Margaret
Scott, who leads this committee.
The deadline for invitations has
been set for March 31. Gertrude
Edgerton, chairman of the Invita
tion Committee stated that the
deadline was early because it will
be necessary on account of the
paper shortage for the printers to
know the number of invitations
wanted.
John Holmes, chairman of the
Commencement Committee, which
is made up of volunteers from the
class, announced that at the two
meetings of his group excellent
discussions had been held. He urged
seniors to be present at the meet
ings which are held each Tuesday
afternoon in Room 19.
Keeps 'em Groaning
"Squad One,”—^yells the man be
hind the N, C, State monogra'tn,
“All present, sir,”—is the weak
reply from John Lee,
“Squad Two”—that’s coach again.
“Harrington and Denmark ab
sent, sir.” The groan is from
Charles O’Steen.
“Squad Three”—
“Ward and Pike ain’t here nei
ther, sir.” That’s from the half
frozen Marvin Cowell.
“Squad Four” is the last call from
General Jeffrey, and Pepsi’s voice,
dripping with icicles, comes
“Charlton is on the way, sir.” With
frozen bones creaking, the boys in
the physical education class
straighten up for the order they
know is coming next. Meanwhile,
General Jeffrey has inhaled a deep
breath for the command.
“Ten-chun!! Forward march!!”
Around, and around they go. At
least six times around the track,
until the blessed relief comes, which
is actually a little four-lettered
word—“Halt.”
Then with a second to catch their
breath, the boys prepare to “go on
the double” (that’s running to you,
girls.) After which they begin
those muscle building exercises.
After about fifteen or twenty
minutes of such, comes the free-
for-all—soccer! It’s almost as rough
as football, and if you don’t believe
me, just ask Bob P. or Edwin Lee.
When at last the bell rings, ’tis
a sight to behold when the boys
come limping and dragging in. Red
ears and noses plus rolled up pants
and untied shoes plus messed up
hair equal the he-men of our GHS.

Active Members
Sponsor Drives
For Uncle Sam
Collecting anything from tooth
paste tubes to water tanks, gather
ing waste ranging from personal
notes to college annuals, making
articles as varied as hot water
bottle covers and stretchers, buying
such articles as ash trays and
records for the soldiers, and work
ing suggestions into drives are all
activities that keep the members of
the Defense Board quite busy, in
cluding J. D. Pike, chairman, who
has to check on all phases of
defense.
Fanny Lou Parker, newest mem
ber of the ^ard, is chairman of the
Junior Reo^ross. The other mem
bers of the Board are Gertrude
Edgerton, Defense Stamps; Betty
Weil, Junior Defense Recreation;
Dicky Weatherly, Scrap Metal; and
Helen Denning, Waste Paper, with
Miss Martha Glazener as adviser.
DEFENSE STAMPS
Beginning the sale of defense
stamps on February 2, the commit
tee has sold a total of $189 worth of
stamps up to February 27, and no
telling how many more since the
Hi Neivs went to press. The week
of February 16 takes first place
among the weekly sales with a total
of $56.10, and on Tuesday of that
week $24.60 worth was sold—the
highest sale for any day up to
February 27. The SA Council ap
propriates $15 to buy stamps with
each 'week, and in turn the money
is paid back after the stamps are
sold.
Approximately 100 students who
had not previously started a book
have begun buying stamps. There
is usually a crowd around the red,
white, and blue booth outside the
office, buying stamps before and
after school and at both lunch
periods.
Gertrude reported at a recent
board meeting that she wants the
students to keep supporting Uncle
Sam and that she appreciates the
cooperation so far. Mrs. Clifton H.
Bradford is adviser to the com
mittee.

Hilda Bell Wins
Another Honor
" V
“Come on; let’s give fifteen rahs
for Goldsboro!” Hilda Bell has been
leading the student body in this
and other yells for four years; and
now the students have given Hilda
fifteen rahs by electing her the
most representative girl in GHS.
Hilda was class cheerleader dur
ing her freshman and sophomore
years, then as a junior she became,
head cheerleader, and again this
year our teams have gone to vic
tory, urged on by the cheers of the
students led by Hilda.
If the students elected a “Miss
Secretary,” Hilda would probably
receive that title as she has been
secretary of the following classes:
Enghsh Club, Latin Club, English-
history, and English-sociology.
Hilda has represented GHS at
the NCSSCC conventions at Green
ville and Charlotte. In the fall of
1941 she was chosen the good citizen
of GHS by a vote of her class and
the faculty.
The most representative girl has
been on her class and SA councils
for her freshman, sophomore, jun
ior and senior years. As a fresh
man she was on her class social
committee. While a sophomore she
was on the song and color com
mittee of her class. In her junior
year she was on the program andr,.
publicity committees for the Junior-'
Senior and the Junior Play respec
tively. She served on the pubUcity
committee for the Senior Play this
year.
Hilda has taken dramatics two
years, was circulation manager of
the Hi News last year, and has
played tennis.

Host To Senior Boy
To recognize senior boys who
most nearly represent the principle
of service emphasized in the Rotary
Club, the Senior Class will select
a boy each week until school is out
to attend the weekly Rotary Club
meetings.
This depision was reached at
the regular Senior Class meeting
March 4, when Mr. J. W. Gaddy
presented the plan to the class.
