Pace Two Goldsboro Hi News March 19, 1948 EASTER OBSERVANCE Easter is the greatest festival of the Christian Church. But many abuse this day of reverence. They think of Easter as a day for dressing up in their new Easter outfit and having a good time. They go to church, on this day as on other days, more or less as a habit, not out of real devotion. An^ those that don’t make a habit of going, go on Easter to shovi' off their new clothes. Remember, Easter should be treated as a very reverent day. It is the day of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and should be treated as such. So this year, please try and keep the reverence of Easter sacred. D. P. WORLD PEACE OR SUICIDE Recently the Methodist young people discussed this topic. It is a question which we would do well to think about. In the near future we will accept the responsibilities of leadership. We want to know the facts so that when we have the opportunity to do something, we won’t just stumble blindly searching for the answer. We want to be able to cope with the situation at hand and deal with it in an intelligent manner. Remember, it’s too late when those bombs start falling! J. T. WHY PREJUDICE? Why can’t we all be peacemakers? Why can’t we be friends with everyone? Why are we prejudiced against people of different color, of different race, of dif ferent religion? We wish that all of you would think more seriously about the problem of mak ing this world a better place in which to live. So many of the little things we do each day determine the way people of other races and creeds feel toward us. If we C9uld really believe that “All men are created equal”, and try to live by that policy, what a change would come over this world! Let’s dedicate ourselves to the purpose of being a brother to everyone. M. A. W. USE WASTEBASKETS No doubt you’ve often noticed those round baskets in each of the classrooms, usually next to the teacher’s desk. These baskets are commonly known as waste- paper bskets. It seems odd to be explaining to high school students what wastepaper baskets are. And yet, some of the students do not really seem to know what their use is. Some of them seem to think the baskets are there for show only, and that desks much better places to deposit wastepaper. It’s up to you as to whether or not you want to use your desk for your books. But stuffing that desk full of paper so that the next person occupying it can’t use it for its intended purpose isn’t very con siderate. You yourself wouldn’t want to come into a classroom expecting to be able to put your books in a desk, and then find you have to put on a clean-up campaign first. It really isn’t too difficult to drop a piece of used paper into the wastepaper basket on your way out of the room. Try it next time! M. T.

President Truman is running on the Democratic ticket, Wallace on an n- dependent ticket, and a whole field of Re publican candidates are in the running. There is a strong possibility of the usually “Solid South” spliting sides. President Truman’s Civil Rights Program has divid ed the Democratic party and made it a great deal weaker. The party has plans whereby it can still be united although noi all supporting 'iruman. Virginia is not even putting Truman's name on its ticket and is casting its electoral votes for Sen ator Byrd. Other southern states may join Virginia and it’s a possibility the next presdent of the U. S. will be elected in the the Congress of the U. S. If no one candi date can get enough electoral votes requir ed to become president, that is what will happen. It is certainly a grand time for us to learn all we can about this election; for it looks like it will be a very interesting one. It won’t be long before we have the right to vote. It would certainly help us as well as our country to keep posted on Ihe present election. B. W. CALLS FOR THOUGHT In the last issue of the Hi News there appeared in the TayWin Poll, edited by Bill Taylor and Bill Winslow, an article comparing people’s opinions on Universal Military Training. We’ll wager that nine out of ten of the people who were ap proached answered right away, either “yes” or “no”, without giving much thought to the question. In our opinion, a subject as important as this, which has to do with the youth of today as a whole, deserves due considera tion. This subject has been argued by authorities on the subject without much agreement. We, the youth, the ones whom it will concern most, should be the ones to think most about it. The plan is that the training should come between our finishing high school and our entering college. Many students at this age are undecided. This break in our-social life might change our whole outlook on life. While we are at this camp, under this strict military discipline, we might decide just what we want to do in life. We might learn it here in camp, or when we are through with this training we can start to work immediately. Some of us, no doubt, can not afford to go to college. This would be an excellent opportunity to save some money, maybe enough for the first year. Even that helps some. Then comes the question of war. If there are millions of young men who have been under military discipline and train- ng for a year, there will be less money spent to prepare troops as has been done in years past, for these men will know the fundamentals of war. This would be a great advantage. Oh, our opinion? We are strongly in favor of Universal Military Training. OUR CONCERN If you have been to the movies, read a newspaper, or been around people who are interestd in national affairs, we are sure you have heard something about President Truman’s civil rights program. The President has recommended to Coij- gress anti-lynching legislation, the repeal of the poll tax as a requirement for voting for federal officers, non-segregation on interstate carriers, and other proposals ad vocated by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. A house judiciary committee has ap proved a bill to make lynching a federal offense. Instead of the states having con- :rol over the lynchers and their trials, the national government would be in charge of them. This will put an entirely dif ferent light on the matter, since it has been said that a jury of Southern white men will hardly ever give a verdict of “guilty” in the trial of a white man or men for the hanging of a Negro. This.has always been against the law as the U. S. Consti tution says that every citizen of the United States is entitled to a trial by jury. Anti-poll tax has been-,approved by the Plouse several times, but Southern Demo crats have blocked it by talking long enough to prevent a vote. This year it may be different; the Republicans are eager to aid the dissension between the Northern and the Southern Democrats. A new bill has been passed by the House which would permit voting in federal elections regardless of state poll taxes and it will probably be sent to the Senate immediately. (Seven Southern states re quire a voter to pay a poll tax before he can cast his vote.) The Southern Democrats say that the anti-poll tax, anti “Jim-Crow”, and other •Truman proposals are an invasion of the states’ rights by the federal government. We can only wait and see what will happen, but we, the future citizens of America, will soon have these and other problems to face and solve; and it is our duty to think about them, not' disregard them as something that doesn’t concern us. They do. D. J. D. Birthdays Ry Dana James Oulley Forty-eight students were born in the month of April; so they get their names printed below. Let’s wish them a very happy birthday.

Eh? By Kd Strickland One thing about this new course, “Military Science and Tac tics”, as it’^fcw-lled, it teaches you to analyze your problem and think through each maneuver. You pick out the enemy’s strong est point, and then the weakest one; if the two go together the enemy is a dead duck. Last week was the big game of theseason, the game with Kings ton, and we didn’t have a chance. They’d beat us regularly for 12 consecutive years, and w'ith Dickie Dumas playing center and lobbing baskets from all over the court they were a cinch to walk away with the game again tins season. That is-they were a cinch to win before I dusted the cob webs from my l)ird brain and put my thinking machinery into action. Dick Dumas was Kingston’s star, if I could only put him out of commission, we’d stand a chance to beat that 12 year jinx. Dick, the strong point, what is the weak point? Throughout all history, woman has been the Waterloo of man, history repeats itself, could it repeat again??? I grab a bus to Kingston and camp at the “Hamburger Heaven” to see who comes in. Sure enough the hunch is correct. About four, in walks “Dickie”, that gorgeous hunk of man, and on his arm is Betty Bumper, Kingston’s head cheerleader. Dickie is so moon- eyed he knocks over three cliairs in a salt shaker getting to a cor ner table with his eyeful of curls and curves. Did I say curves, that doll had so many she makes the Pennsyl vania Turnpike look like a left, over from the match factory. Yep, a gal is the weak point of the strong point, but has she got a weak point. I do some discreet questioning and learn that she is nuts on the subject of old phono graph records. This is where my aunt, “Bless her soul” comes in. She has some old Edison records stored away in her attic. I memember because I had to clean it up last spring. They are old Edison records about a quarter inch thick. One of these record is called, “Yes, We Have No Bananas” and its really a rare old item where old records are concerned. Now, I sit down and write a note to Miss Betty Bumper, in forming her of the whereabouts of this old item. Then knowing she will go to my aunt’s place of the ball game on account of she’s nuts like all collectors, I put in a phone call to my cousin. “Buz” in central City. My aunt lives in C. C. too, or didn’t I tell you that. I tell Buz that when a certain car pulls Anna Frank Strosnider, better known as “Frankie,” the jitterbug queen, was born on February 6, 1931, in Goldsboro, N. C. She at tended Goldsboro g r a m m er schools, where she acquired reputation of being a dependable student who was always willing to cooperate with teachers and classmates in school and in out side activities. This is a reputa tion which she has upheld through out her high school years. P'rankie is very active in GHS’s radio and dramatics department. Among the radio productions she has participated in are “Legend of Dust” and “This Obscene Pomp,’ both Dixie FM network shows. Some of the plays for which she will be remembered are “Cind erella,” “The Shepherd’s Song,” and “The Land is Bright.” Her ability as a leader has been proved by the many activities she captain of tlie football team. He This mouth the journalism class is proud to name as its honoree, Samuel Miller Eason, who has made outstanding achievements all through his high Sfehool career and proved in many w«.ys to be a very active member of the senior class. Miller was born on June 28, 1929. During his freshman year he served on the reception com mittee. He also took an active part on the Junior football team and was an S. A. council repre sentative. When a junior he was elected ; to lead his class as president. He has worked on lighting for the plays: “Ramona”, “The Lady who Came to Stay”, “Men Folk”, and “Heaven Can Wait”. As a senior he was elected pres ident of the Varsity Club and co- I received honorable mention on the All Eastern AA Conference team. Miller’s favorite pastimes are football and basketball, and his»- favorite actor is Alan Ladd. He has no favorite among the act resses—likes them all. His fav orite foods are fried chicken and chocolate pie. After graduation Miller plans to attend State College and then try his luck as an architect. If he does as well in the future as he has in the past, we’re sure he’ll come through with flying colors —so here’s luck to him! office of vice president of the Ooldmasquers, chairman of the SA social committee, and one of the advertising managers of the an nual. She serves also as a marshal and as a member of the National Honor Society. Swimming, fishing and boating are great favorites of Anna Prank’s. Football is her greatest spectator sport. She enjoys large crowds and good times. Like most of th6 students, her favorite hang out is the Opera Shoppe. In the future, Frankie hopes to major in radio. We think she will be a success in this profession just as she has always been a suc cess in GHS. Know French?

Betty falls, she flys to C. C. to get that record and plans on fly ing 30 miles more to our town to see her dream man lick the Wild cats. Every thing goes well. Buz does his job and when Miss Cur- vacious starts to leave my aunts she can’t. For the final touch I write an other note, this time to the great Dick himself. It says simply. “Farewell, you muscle bound ape. I’m fleeing your sheepish glances with my new dream boat, Percival Thortondyke the III. Signed “B”. I have this treacherous note de livered just before the teams come on the court. When he, Dick, comes out of the dressing room he looks dazed. He guides his peeper around the gym, but he doesn’t see Betty, he thinks the note is the real McCoy alright. Poor Bet ty, way over there in Central City with a rare item and a dead car. Ain’t I a devil though. The game starts and the great Dick Dumas looks like a relic of prohibition days; he can’t even dribble the ball, let alone drop a basket. Our town won the game 43-21, but ray story does not end here as happily as I would like. I have to brag about how smart I am, and my bragging is to my girl, Dolly Dimples. Dolly it turns out, is Betty’s cousin and she tells Betty how smart I am. Betty tells Dickie, Dickie takes a bus to our town. Wham—one black eye. Moral—never trust a woman— too far. I wonder how many students recognized their pictures on the March 6th, Saturday Evening Post?? Well, if you did or didn’t (I’d like to say this, “Very Be- I coming”! On that cover you saw yourself gossiping and what's so nice—I heard you! There are two young ladies, namely Polly E. and Jane P., who evidently don’t know we liave doors in G. H. S. Will some kind hearted student please tell these girls to refrain from climbing in tlie window of the Spanish room? Thanks, and I’m sure they will lind the doors much more con venient. Mumble, mumble, mumble. What did they say? They said that Bobby Malpass really has a way. Yes, I guess that’s right and what a way! Only a short’while back it seemed that all Vera Lee thought of was “Oh, Johnny,” and Bobby seemed to be only a fill in. Then, sock! and there was Bobby with flying colors. The only catch is, Vera Lee wore them in the form of a black eye. I don’t know which he hit, C minor or B sharp, but he sure changed Vera’s tune. Someone said Paul P. was still mighty cute to a certain gal, namely Janet C. and many are in clined to agree with her. Since you have yaur driver’s license Paul, it looks like you better get help, for she’s a swell gal. Well, a poor excuse is better than none. Every time someone mentions Barbara Jean T. to or around Bill T. he says, “She and Leslie B. are in love”, but Bill, how do you -explain those many phone calls from her?? Wiggle, worm, wiggle. Sam, did you ever get your date for the social? I hear you had a nice variety. Say! I saw about the cutest couple at the social the other night that I have ever seen yet. They were “Little Ann” H. and “Moose” P. Looked like fun! Seems that Barbara R. and "Ronnie” are still clicking, al though, one can’t say how well. At least, not with Pike still a- round. Boys, I sure can see the reason. Carolyn M. and Jackie H. sure made a dandy couple dancing at the social the other night. From what I can gather, he’s awful fond of her too. Everyone has seen the reaction of a nail when placed exactly be tween two magnets, I am sure. Well, let’s substitute people. Char lie D. is the nail and three guesses and you know who represents the magnets. Now someone tell me which way Charlie will go. You’re wrong! Oh, Winslow. How cute did you say Ruth F. was?? Is that so? I wonder what Anne Lee thinks? Well, it’s your neck not mine. When the Trig Exam was given the other day, it seems that Farnkie was having a little trouble concentrating. What was the trouble, gal?? Davis, I understand that you have been awful busy lately and you sure are doing a fine job, however, a certain red head is still willing to help you in any thing, so I’ve heard. Well, that's your problem, just thought I’d re mind you. That’s about all now, friends. I hope we are still friends. See you around. TAKE THIS QUIZ By Doi'i.s This quiz shouldn’fvbe hard.
