Mr. And Mrs. GHS To Be
Crowned On Stunt Night
Senior Class Play Is
Set For February 25, 27
For the third production of the season the Senior Class and the
Goldmasquers will present Norman Krasna’s famous Broadway
hit, “John Loves Mary,” Saturday and Monday evenings, February
25 and 27, with curtain time at 8:30 o’clock.
This will be the first time one of Mr. Krasna’s plays ever has
been attempted by a local group although his popular success,
“Dear Ruth,” was presented here four years ago by a New York
Stock Company. Since “The Tavern” and “Ramshackle Inn” were
such brilliant successes it was decided to bring another famous
comedy to the local patrons for the annual senior play and the
Peace Addresses
Heard By Students
During the past few weeks a
number of assemblies were held
on World Peace. During this
period movies and speakers were
presented in assemblies.
A movie, “Pattern for Peace—
Charter of the U. N.” was the
first, followed by movies, “The
World Peace Builders’^ and
“Now The Peace”. Mr. Ray Arm
strong and Mr. M. B. Andrews,
Jr., spoke to the student body
giving their views and ideas on
world peace. Rev. James M.
McChesny, pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church, spoke to
the group giving to the students
'the minister’s views on world
peace.
Dr. Charlie Powell was the
last of the adult speakers. Dr.
Powell spoke on germ warfare.
For the final assembly on world
peace a student forum composed
of Bob Mitchell, “Skippy’^ Al
len, Karl Albert and Dillon Bar
field was held.
These pictures and talks were
in preparation for writing a
th^nne on “Building World Peace
in the Atomic Age: “What Are
the Responsibilities of the Unit
ed Nations in the Atlantic Pact?”
Every student of G.H.S. must
write a theme on this subject.
Students Examine
Merci Train Here
G. H. S. students had the priv
ilege of visiting the, trailer dis
playing the Merci train exhibit.
The trailer was filled with a
selected group of presents from
a French railway box car sent
to North Carolina last year. The
car was one of the 48 of the
Merci train. The people of
France sent one box car for each
state in the nation.
Contained in each of the cars
were gifts from French citizens
of all types and classes. There
were perfumes, silks, dolls, oil
pointings, a wedding dress, toys,
and objects of historical interest.
The Merci train was sent to
the United States in apprecia
tion for food, clothing, and mon
ey sent to the French in a na
tion-wide project call the
“Friendship Train.”
Former Student
Speaks To “F. C ”
Miss Harriette Thompson, who
graduated from Goldsboro High
School in 1945, was guest speak
er for the French Club this
month. Miss Thompson made a
ten week tour of the European
Continent this past summer.
Part of this time she spent in
France. She not only talked to
the club but shO'Wed some in
teresting pictures, pamphlets
and souvenirs. Students asked
Miss Thompson questions con
cerning all phases of her trip.
Mr. C. W. Twiford, the present
principal, has been here eight
years, having come here in 1942,
In 1929, there were 39 students
who graduated.
“W. C.” Official
Talks To Students
I Mr. C. W. Phillips, Director of
Public Relations at Woman’s Col
lege of the University of North
Carolina, spoke to the student
body recently in connection with
the peace theme program.
Under the topic of American
ism, Mr. Phillips made several
statements concerning world
peace. After asking the ques
tion, “What made America
Great?’’ He said that Ameri
cans think people count more
than things (such as land rich
in natural resources, etc.). The
freedoms Americans have claim
ed have contributed much to
making the country great. He
added that “we deserve the free
doms we earn.”
Mr. Phillips’ concluding point
was that people cannot live with
peace and in harmony with oth
er nations unless they, too,
share in having freedoms as
Americans do. Quoting the Bi
ble, he said, “The strong must
help share the burden of the
weak.’’
Alumna Makes Honor
Jane Parker, a sophomore at
Salem College, Winston-Salem,
was one of ten students of her
class to make the Dean’s List
during the past semester, ac
cording to announcement re
ceived by Principal C. W. Twi
ford of Goldsboro High School.
The Dean’s List is a mark of
scholastic achievement. Miss
Parker graduated at G.H.S. in
the class of 1948.
Did you know that Mr. T. T.
Hamilton was the first princi
pal of G.H.S. in 1926? This was
in the new building.
Biology classes were held in
G.H.S. for the first time in 1928.
A gala evening of old fash
ioned fun for the entire family
in the form of “Stunt Night” will
be held Saturday, February 11th,
at eight o’clock in the G.H.S. au
ditorium.
“Stunt Night” is sponsored by
the National Honor Society. Its
aim is to earn proceeds to send
delegates to a state N.H.S. con
vention, and to finance some
worthy project during the ye^r.
Each class is presenting a
stunt on the theme chosen by a
committee' made up of all class
councils. Each theme is strictly
under cover stuff until actual
performance time. Circuses,
minstrels, parades and vast oth
er topics have been used as stunt
themes by other scohols. Who
knows what G.H.S. will pull out
of its hat tomorrow night?
Highlight of the evening will
come with the crowning of Mr.
and Miss,Goldsboro High School
who will be elected by votes
costing one penny apiece. A to
tal of 100 points will be distrib
uted among the four classes ac
cording to whoever walks off
with most honors. Each class
will originate and present a
song. They will also be judged
on their appearance as a whole.
Fifteen points will go to the
class winning the approval of
the judges as having the best
song according to actual words
and fifteen for its presentation
by the group.
The actual stunt itself will
win for one lucky class forty
points, and seven and one-half
points will go to the class from
which Mr. and Miss G.H.S. are
chosen. The class selling the
most tickets to stunt night will
receive fifteen points. This is
one of the ibiggest chances you’ll
ever have to give out with all
you have in the line of school
spirit. If you’re behind your
school as a whole then pitch in
with your classmates and boost
“Stunt Night” to the top rung in
the ladder of enjoyment.

Eighth Grade
^sits G.H.S.,
Attends Council
The council of William Street
School’s Eighth Grade visited
the Goldsboro High School
Council recently. The purpose
of their trip was to learn the
procedure 9,rd functions of our
council so that they might have
a pattern by which to plan their
own class senate meetings.
Mrs. C. W. Twiford, advisor
to the William Street Council,
explained to G.H.S. Student
Council that the Eighth Grade
Student Association and Council
was installed as an organization
by which the future high school
students could learn more about
the procedures and principals of
student governjnent. She stated
further that she appreciated the
opportunity our council had giv
en the William Street boys and
girls to get a view of the G.H.S.
council in session.
During the council meeting
there was a motion made to the
effect that the William Street
council should have a represen
tative on the honor system plan
ning committee. Jimmy Ellis,
student association president,
asked Fred Ginn, eighth presi
dent, whether or not his council
would like a member of the hon
or system planning committee.
Fred replied that they would like
it very much, for if the proposed
honor system ruling were passed
it would directly affect them in
asmuch as they would be fresh
men in 1950-51.
Immediately following council
the representatives remained in
the auditorium for the opening
and presentation of gifts from
the foreign schools in Germany.

Story Outline
The story deals with John
Lowerence (played by Ashton
Griffin) who has been overseas
for three years, is welcomed
home by the charming Mary
McKinley (Emma Jean Wil
liams). These two are and have
been equally in love with each
other. John’s life has been saved
while he is overseas by his bud
dy, Fred Taylor (Karl Albert).
Fred i-eturned home a year be
fore John and John brings him
what should be a pleasant sur
prise—the news that he has
married Lilj’- GJanet Cooke), an
English girl Fred had fallen in
love with and who could not
hope to get to America for years
unless as the wife of a G.I. John,
therefore, marries her and plans
to deliver her to Fred. John
plans a quick divorce from Lily,
and then marry Mary.
Mary and her family (Florence
Bowden and I^die Mitchell),
have, of course, no notion of
what has happened, and John
is up against it when Mary and
her family insist upon an imme
diate wedding. Matters are not
helped when it is learned that
Fred has, meantime, not only
married but is an expectant
father. John and Fred get in
touch with a former officer
(Worth Potter) of their acquaint
ance and have him pretend to
call John for special service for
six weeks out West. This plan
also falls through and in despair,
Mary and her family agree that
John has lost interest in his
fiancee. Things look hopeless
until the big final surprise in
the plot.
