Hi News Aims Toward
100 Percent Student
Subscription Lists
Five Rooms
Reach Goal
Of Hi News
Five homerooms in Goldsboro
High School have subscribed to
the Hi News 100 percent, accord
ing to figures released this week.
Most of the other rooms are ex-
oected to be 100 percent within a
short time.
Homeroonis with 100 percojit
support to their Hi News are the
rooms of Miss Alice Lee Harris,
Mrs. D. A. Roebuck, Mrs. J. E.
Britt, Mr. Clifton Britton and Mr.
E. L. Roberta# Mr. Roberts' room
was 100 percent within fifteen
minutes after the drive was an
nounced, and the others in the
list reached their goal in short or- ,
der. J
Letters have been received -from '
:*jrmer students, saying they would ,
like to keep up with scliool affairs I
through the Hi News, so the staff
of the paper has agreed that any
room which gets 100 percent sup
port to the publication, may have'
free to send to service men sub
scriptions equal to 10 per cent of
the room enrollment. !
Last year the student body vot-1
ed to have a 50 cents Student As
sociation fee and make all other
student fees voluntary, so that the
Hi News this year does not share
in any activity ticket as it had
formerly done. Those wishing to
subscribe to the paper must do so
directly at 50 cents per year. The
staff hopes to have 100 percent
subscription cooperation in the
gphool on the new basis, the circu-
has announced.
The staff has in mind many
improvements for the paper and
if these improvements are to be
•carried out, then it will be neces
sary for all to back their paper
and it is their paper and not the
.staff’s paper, members of the
staff are ready to acknowledge.
The circulation manager urges
«ach home room to renew its ef
forts to secure 100 percent sub
scriptions at once. The next issue
of the paper will carry a list oi
the 100 percent rooms, together
with the names of the students
who have subscribed to the paper
from those rooms.
Act now and subscribe to the
paper for the whole year so that
your staff may make plans for the
work for the whole year.
Eight issues of the paper are
published during the nine months
of the school year, and by full co
operation on the part of the stu
dents it probably will be possible
next year to have nine issues of
the paper, one for each month of
the school year.

Freshman
Week Is Held
For Students
Freshman Week was observed
in G. H. S. Oct. 1-5.
On Monday there was a pro
gram in the auditorium to begin
the initiations.?
A few of the outstanding high
lights of the program are given
below:
“Cotton” Klutz was called to the
stage, hesitating and trembling
with fear, but was very much re
lieved to find that all that was re
quired of him was to don a baby’s
outfit, climb into a child’s wagon
and be pulled around the auditor
ium by Millie Cobb, shaking a
rattler as he went. Afterwards, he
was sung to sleep by J. P. Keen,
one of the football players.
I Ray Bryan showed sportsman-
i ship by doing his level best to sit
on a milk bottle without any sup
port.
Misses Elizabeth Grant, Alice
Lee Harris, Nancy Hinson, Ger
aldine Jones, Elsie May, and Mrs.
; D. A. Roebuck, were also victims.
; They sang “School Days” under
the leadership of Mrs. Roebuck.
During Freshman Week the
freshmen had to obey the rules
and regulations of a proclamation
established by the upperclassmen.
Those particating in the pro-
fTram were: Eloise Balkum. Evelyn
Barbee, Betty Bedford, Ned
Champion, Geraldine Collins,
Charlie Darden, Polly Edgerton,
Ruth Edgerton, Mary Olive Gra
dy, Erline Griffin, Bobby Hill, Jo

Dramatic Workers Now
Making Improvements
In The Department
A Sophomore Heads
The Hi News Staff
Radio Room
Is Prepared
In Building
Ten juniors and two sophomores make up the Hi News staff
this year. I
Marilyn Tolochko, ediior, is probably the first sophomore to
hold this office in the history of the paper. ]
Other members of the staff serving with her are: Davis
Byrd, business manager; Margie Perry, managing editor; Bett
McLawhorn, circulation manager; Annie Ruth Crumpler, adver-|
tising manager; Oscar Bagley, sports editor; John Renn, pho-!
tographer; F. W. Stanley, feature editor; Mary Lib Fisher, ex-!
change editor; Carl Casey, Dora Lee Jinnette, J. C. Horne, Lois
Pearce, and Julia Scott, reporters.
Mr. Roberts is the teacher ofi
journalism and adviser for the
staff.
The paper plans many improve
ments for the year.
As you read this issue you will
note at least one change which the
staff thinks is a definite improve
ment. Instead of a five-column
paper, with columns only 16 inch
es long, you have a seven column,
paper with columns 20 inches
long.
Readers will note, too, that there
are more pictures in this issue
than usually appear in the paper,
and it is the aim of the staff, they
have agreed, to give the students
a bigger and better paper during
the year.
A new printing contract at more
attractive terms enables the staff
to contribute to the paper stories,
poems, cartoons, or any other mat
ter they would like to submit.
The staff will use whatever of this
material it can, in keeping with [
the space at hand and the policy
of the paper to best serve the
students.
Poems, the editor says, should
be okayed by the student’s Eng
lish teacher before being submit,
ted for publication.
Open forum letters can be used
if they are signed and are written
In the proper spirit; so the staff
urges and hopes there will be wide
participation in the production of
the paper from the student body
as a whole and not just the jour
nalism class and staff.
