As the cast of Sprmg Fever”, they have really been on their toes during rehearsals under the direction of Miss Mary Ann Gatch. Tonight, when the curtain rises at 8:30, all traces of laziness will vanish and they will go through the nlav very much alive. ** ^ ^ Left to right, standing: William Hicks, George Rivenbark, George Futrelle, Ellis Blann, Reid Maynard, and Frank Roberts; seated: Dot Loftin, Elizabeth Hardison, Martha Blue Purser, Justyne Barbour, Martha Rosenthal and Tean Gibson. ^ Juniors Close Week’s Activities Ry Enacting Scenes" From PIgy “Move over. Seniors! Carry our trays. Sophs! Freshmen, ya gotta help us!” This, dear readers, is the Juniors speaking to the rest of the school. Why? Because it’s Junior Week! Junior Week for that class that’s pre senting “Spring Fever” tonight in the auditorium at 8:30. When Miss Ipock’s room passed out in assembly Tuesday it was the beginning of Junior Week. Her entire room one by one dropped off into^ a faint. The doctor came and explained that they were the fabulous victims of that common disease, spring fever. After this, Mr. Gaddy read the proclamation, in the form of quarantine, giving the Juniors the choice seats in assembly and the position of first in the lunch line for one blissful week. The Seniors willingly gave these privileges to the class of ’43. Radio Programs From then on, the Juniors r>Dilly went to town! Two radio programs were given, publicizing “Spring Fever”. One, given in the morning, reviewed past Junior Plays, and the other, given at night, (Ya heard it, didn’t ya?) presented character sketches about the cast. Another snazzy assembly was held on Thursday, featuring those glamour gals of the class of ’43, “The Black Faced Darlings of GHS,” in a super dance routine. Original songs and stunts were also used on the program. Parade A horse and buggy driven by Juniors was the outstanding fea ture of the parade that followed tho assembly. Dressed in green and white, the entire class marched all over uptown, led by the band, an ambulance, and a float with the cast seated on it. Skits from the play will be given today, (poetic, aren’t I?). So all you studes will have a chance to see what a spiffy play “Spring Fever” really is! Be seeing ya tonight in the auditorium at 8:30! All Except Four Boys Pass Physical Exam Only four boys out of the 112 who took the physical examination given recently by well knowm doctors in Goldsboro are having to take a restrictive program under the Physical Education course be cause of some physical handicap. Nine cases of faulty teeth, 29 cases of enlarged or diseased ton sils, and 19 cases of flat feet were discovered—defects the boys will be urged to correct themselves. However, these defects will not exempt the boys from the Physical Education course. Examiners Drs. D. J. Rose, D. E. Best, Milton Clark, C. F. Strosnider, and G. L. Overman were the doctors who gave the examinations. In order to insure that each boy is able to undertake the exercises which the boys take each morning, a complete examination was given. It was similar to the one given to draftees upon entering the Army. The Physical Education course, which has recently been added to the GHS curriculum, is required of all senior boys and boys who have attained the age of 17. ‘Junior Play Issue Even though it was impossible for *^suc of Hj to 1. entirely the work of the Juniors, ten Juniors besides the 5 Junior staff- members worked to make this issue possible.

Plans Being Made For Tonsillectomies That 115 GHS students have diseased or enlarged tonsils was discovered in a recent survey made by Mrs. A. H. McManus, registered nurse in charge of the GHS health room. These students are to be examin ed by the draft board doctors to determine the most serious cases. Arrangements will be made so that the diseased tonsils can be removed before the end of school this year. Speaking to the faculty March 24 on the general topic of health. Dr. D. J. Rose, a member of the school board, said, “I am convinced from a long practice that a person with definite physical handicaps cannot develop mentally. Some defects cannot be corrected, but others, such as infected tonsils and bad teeth can be, and every effort should be made to see that such defects are corrected as early a^ possible.” ^ (Continued on Page 6) ~ Miss 0atch Directs Annual Junior Play Have you ever been in a daze? Did you ever have a deadline to meet? Did you ever have a teacher tell you that if you didn’t have that piece of work in on time, she’d If you have, you’ll be in cora- plete sympathy with a certain senior at Brookfield College (the setting for “Spring Fever”) who is in quite a deadline predicament, and the chances are you’ll like “Spring Fever”, the Junior Play, to be presented tonight at 8:30 in the high school ar.ditorium. The setting of the play is in the living room of a rooming house near a small coeducational college in the East on the day before com mencement. Twelve Characters Mrs. Spangler, the landlady (Elizabeth Hardison), is greatly overworked and fretful. Ed Burns, a chemistry student (Frank Roberts) furnishes explosions enough to keep you on the jump throughout the play. Lou Herron (Jean Gibson) is a journalism stu dent who rushes in now and then to use the typewriter and—well— to see Ed, too. But how would you like to be in Howard Brant’s shoes? Howard (Ellis Blann) has to write a term paper on zoology, or he won’t be on -?-go 4) -Spring Fever- Elections Coming Up During April and May Double spring elections are roll ing around for the second consecu tive year in GHS with the SA vot ing on April 24, and the classes voting on May 7.
