Library Serves
In Several Ways
The GHS library has many uses
besides lending books to students.
In the recent contest of “The
Walking Man’’ the materials of
the library were a great help
to some pupils who were interest
ed in the identity of the un
known man. After the clues were
obtained, such books as “Current
Biography” and “The World Al
manac” were searched for valu
able Information concerning the
person in mind.
The Freshman and Sophomore
classes took the lead in circula
tion of books. Seniors and Jun
iors use the reference books the
majority of the time. Animal
books, on the whole, seem to be
the most popular type of books
checked out. Dog and horses lead
the “most read” list with fiction
books following a close second.
Bulletins boards and shelves
are changed and kept in season
throughout the school year in the
library.

SA Social Is
Hailed Success
A country style barn dance was
the theme of the first SA social,
held in the William Street gym
nasium.
The gymnasium was decorated
with hay and crepe paper, and
at the entrance was a huge sliding
board which everyone had to slide
down in order to enter.
Along with the square and
round dancing, there were differ
ent amusements and entertain
ments such as fortune-telling
booths, guess’your weight booths,
let’s go fishing, and dart throw
ing. For refreshments, pepsi-
colas and cookies were served,
and candy apples were sold.
Those serving on the social
committee are: Anna Frank Stros-
nider, chairman; Donald Percise,
Henry Modlin, Arnold Stanton.
Janet Cook, Jerry Worrell, Peggy

Local Students Correspond
With Students In Germany
Goldsboro schools have been
asked to cooperate with the School
Affiliation Service by correspond
ing with students of a foreign
school.
GoIdsboro'High School has been
assigned two schools, Johannes
Hepler Oberscule for boys, and
a girls school. Honigin Charlotte
Oberscule.
Both of these schools are in
Germany and the total enroll
ment is approximately 600 stu
dents. This makes it possible for
each GHS student to correspond
with a German student and help
him individually with his needs.
Among the things most needed
are school supplies, soap; personal
articles such as toothbrushes,
combs, ribbons, toys, and any
type of clothing.
This program is planned so
that the students of American
schools may correspond with those
of their own age and general
character of foreign schools. Once
affiliation has been established,
the exchange of letters, between
students and teachers alike, will
develop close human relationship.
In this way, the pressing needs
of foreign schools may be met.

Three Ministers
Speak During
Brotherhood Week
Three local ministers, repre
senting the three different re
ligious faiths, spoke on Brother
hood Week at a recent SA assem
bly. These were Rabbi Maurice
P''euer of the Oheb Sholom Tem
ple, Rev. A. J. Smith of the First
Baptist Church, and Father Law
rence C. Newman of St. Mary’s
Catholic Church.
Rabbi Feuer said that all re
ligions have basically one thing
in common—they are all children
of God. He stated that we speak
of brotherhood as an Ideal, and
each religion calls upon us to
think of each other in brother
hood. The things that unite us
are more important than the
things that divide us.
“If we’re to live, we have to
learn to be brotherly,” was the
opinion of Mr. Smith. There is
no such thing as liberty for one
person if there is no liberty for
all. It is necessary that those
libei'ties we wish for ourselves
should extend to all others, for
this is the spirit of true brother
hood.
Father Newman said that we
should try to get each and every
person to realize that th«y can
promote brotherhood by good use
of their own faculties. He gave
examples of how the faculties of
(Continued on Page Six) '
Rev. John Grainger of the Epis
copal Church, spoke at a recent
Senior class devotional.
“Urgency” and “giving” w’ere
tl;e two words lie chose to dpeak
about. One nation can now wipe
another nation off the map in
one moment. Civilization is In
for a great catastrophe. He said
that this shows there is a great
deal of urgency in world affairs.
Mr. Grainger said a person can
give, not only with money, but
with time. The most w’orthwhile
things in life are done by the
busiest people. He said there are
five levels by which people give.
The first and lowest level is the
gift that doesn’t mean anything
whatsoever. The second is giv
ing w'here you can get direct
benefit from it and the third is
where you expect Indirect benefit
from giving. Giving when gen
uinely sympathetic is the fourth
level, and the fifth and top level
Is where one says, “What I have
doesn’t belong to me. All abili
ties and development of ability
are given by God.” This is the
true motive of giving, and it re
quires a belief in God. It Is not
a question of “How much can I
afford to give?’'* but “How much
can I afford to keep for myself?”
Mr. Grainger closed his talk
with a prayer.
Before he spoke, the group sang
“Fairest Lord Jesus,” accompani
ed by Anne Boyette.
Eleanor Brown, vice president
of the class^ was in charge of the
devotional.
French Club
Adopts A Child
“La Circle Ffancais,” the Golds
boro High School French Club,
has adopted a child in Europe
to which they are planning to
send a box each month.
The packages will contain
clothes, food, school supplies, etc.
The club is going to have a
weiner roast for the new mem
bers, who made a “1” for the
second quarter.
Guidance Program Organized
By Miss Carolyn Lancaster
A department of guidance has
been inaugurated in high school
this year, under the direction of
Miss Carolyn Langston.
This program seeks to prepare
the students for their future re
sponsibilities beyond what can
be given them in class room prep
aration.
Miss Langston councils each
senior regarding his vocation,
education, and any other problem
which may be confronting him.
This has proved successful in that
at the present time every mem
ber of the Senior class has ^-
rolled in an Institution of higher
learning, has employment after
graduation, or has definite plans
toward one of these. Working
with the Department of Distrib
utive Education, the Guidance de
partment, through questionnaires
and personal conferences, feels
that each Senior is better able to
complete his academic work with
satisfaction, for he has a definite
ness of purpose for future gains
and a freedom from apprehension'
about future security, which
would not have been his, had he
faced the end of his high school
career with no plans for the
future.
A vocational library furnishes
the students with college cata
logues, catalogues from various
professional schools, books on
various vocations, and a com
plete survey of the occupational
possibilities througli a file of
pamphlets compiled by Science
Research Associates. In addition
to this, the students are given
vocational preference tests when
it is deemed necessary, plus a
variety of aptitude tests which
enable them not only to know in
which direction they are going,
