Rumanian Students Enroll
At GHS For School Year
By •liiiiniy Ellis
Despite the fact that the life
that they lead in Goldsboro High
School is vastly different from
their younger days in North Bu
covina, in Rumania, Jane and
Thaddeus Jurkiewitch agree that
they are not finding it too diffi
cult to adjust themselves to the
American way of life.
Jane, a becoming 13 year old,
and her 16 year old brother, Ted,
are both enrolled in the fresh
man class and although they
don’t have too firm a grip on the
English language which is pop
ular in the halls and on the
campus of GHS, they have brok-
down this temporary barrier
with a friendly smile and a
warming personality.

the two. said that there was not
too much difference in the basic
elements of their native lands’
schools and the Goldsboro school
system. Their greatest difficulty
thus far has come from not hav
ing a thorough knowledge of the
English language. Studying it
three years has given them a
good beginning, she said, and
they are picking up what they
don’t know very rapidly.
Ted, a rather shy and retiring
individual, broke in and said that
while English ocame easy t
them, their parents have had a
tough time getting even the basic
parts of si>eech as used in this
country. To further complicate
the matter, in he five months
that they have b«en in the United
States, they have lived in Bos
ton, Kinston, Seven Springs, and
Goldsboro and have not had the
advantage of having been in one
section long enough to get to
know people who might help
them to become better acquaint •
ed with our vei’nacular.
