Tonight the Goldmasquers in collaboration with the Varsity club will present “Janie.” Tonight the girl chosen Varsity Sweetheart will be announced. Yes, tonight is definitely a big night and I’m going to see it all. You see I’ve really been in on all^ this. Of course, nobody else knew I was there, but I was. Oh! gee, maybe I’d better introduce myself. My name is Janie V. (for Varsity) Goldmasquers and I’m just an or dinary little mouse; that is, I was until I was initiated into the Goldmasquers. You see, I used to live where the studios are until one day I heard Mr. Britton talk ing. When I heard him I decided to move because when he says a thing he usually means it. He had just said he intended to build the studio there. After hearing that, even though I did have to move, I wanted to stick around and see how things would come out. So I moved to a nearby residence, es tablished myself, and set back to see what was going to happen. Well, I watched them fix the ‘clotsiest’ studios I ever saw. I saw them practice “Janie” until they wer^blue in the face and keep right on. I saw them fix up the lobby, too. So you see I really was there. And you’ll be there to night, that is if you don’t won’t to miss the biggest show in a long time. pshee Rabbi J. Gerson Tolochko spoke to the student body of GHS Thurs day morning, Feb. 28. His talk centered around “The Diploma of Character From The School Of Life.” The Rabbi said that the person who graduated from a college with various de grees had not received the most im portant diploma; the Diploma of Character from the School Life. An illustration he gave was the time that he was called on to of ficiate at a funeral in New York City. He wanted to meet the family of the deceased so he went to the funeral home. He met the daughter of the deceased and ask ed a few questions about her father. The daughter made very sarcastic remarks about her fath er. The Rabbi asked her if she went to college. She replied that she had graduated with a M. A. When asked if she had any broth ers or sisters she replied that she had a sister with a B. A. and a brother with a Ph. D. As the Rab bi said, the M. A., B. A., or the Ph. D. does not make the charac ter that comes first in everybody’s life. He gave other illustrations equally as good. Junior Class Hears Talk Miss Elizabeth Johnson, of the Methodist Church and Miss Mil dred Crowder, of the First Bap tist Church, were the guests of the junior class at a junior devotional recently. Miss Johnson spoke to the class as her text I John 4:1-8 in the re vised edition of the New Testa ment. Miss Crowder sang, "Steal A- way” and “I Walked Today Where Jesus Walked.” Miss Johnson clos ed with a prayer. Jane Parker, a sophomore at GHS, wrote “Mountain Laurel,” the original play to be entered in Chapel Hill this spring. This is Jane’s first year in dra matics, and she finds the work very interesting.
