Junior-Senior Toniglit
Features Card Dances
“Have you got your dance card C
filled out yet?” I llgllt Ol DaMfl
Yes, this is the question that
the Juniors and Seniors have [Ja||qp Ppypn]p|]
'been asking since Monday. llUUov ilCVCalCll
In case any of the Freshmen
or Sophomores are in the dark,
we’re speaking about the dance
cards for the Junior-Senior to
night.
Card dances originated many,
many years ago and still prove
to be very popular.
It’s worked this way; The
girls and boys have separate
cards, with the dance numbers
on the cards; the 'boys ask the
girls for a dance, and she signs
his card, and vice versa. The
boy’s card has all gir Inames on
it, and the girl’s card has all
boys names. Tonight after ev
ery third dance, there is a break
dance. At this time the boys
ask any of the girls to dance, and
anyone can break. There are
twelve card dances. The first
and last dance is reserved for
the girl’s escort. Enough of
that.
Gym All Decorated
Many of the Juniors have been
working faithfully at the gym
for the last two weeks. We’re
convinced that the seniors will
be mighty pleased tonight when
they walk into the gym. The
decoration committee hasn’t been
the only committee working.
The food, program, and invita
tion committees have been busy
too.

Of Your Hi News
Here I have sat for many a
year in the same spot.
'Many students have gone
through my hallowed doors.
I have been put to use for a
number of things since I was
■built. My first use was as a bi
ology museum, then when all the
stuffed animals were movsd out
the band moved in ana almost

vibrations of their musical in

Today I am facing a new di
rection for after lifting me on
rollers I was moved. My, did
that moving hurt! First they
tore out my legs, then logs were
put under me, and then is when
the pain started. An old mule

generation, the G.H.S. gym. I
sure do miss my former location
but I can’t do anything about it.
I’ll just sit and wait and see
what they use me for next.
tomorrow night . . . the Fresh
man social. Hear they’ve plan
ned a fine program.
H.M.S. Pinafore is to be pre
sented Saturday and Monday
nights, hoping to see you there!
Marilyn Tolochko, a graduate
of Goldsboro High, and now a
student of Woman’s College at
Greensboro, likes the Hi News
following the face-lifting it has
received in the recent issues.
The staff appreciates Marilyn’s
opinion, too, for she knows the
Hi News as but few do know it.
She served as editor of the paper
for three years, a distinction no
other student has held during the
twenty-three years the paper
has been published.
Marilyn had noted a difference
in make-up, different type in
headlines, a better quality of pa
per on which the paper is print
ed, so she wrote Advisor Eugenie
L. ‘Roberts and the staff to let
them know about it.
That’s the spirit. The staff
would doubtless work with, more
zeal if other readers took the
time to let therm know they ap
preciate receivircg the paper
from their high school.
In her letter Marilyn, said::
Dear Mr. Roberts and Staff;
I just got the latest issue of. the
Hi News, and I warat to tell you
how very much I think the pa
per is improving. What first
caught my eye was the make-up-
and some of the new type head
lines. They looked different, and
they looked good.
1 really have to make this just
a mote, in between writing term,
papers and preparing for exams.
But I certainly do want to con
gratulate the staff on a job which
I consider most well done.
Sincerely,
MARIEJZN T-.

James To Retire After
Twenty Years As Janitor
A true G.H.S. supporter will
graduate from his high school
duties at the end of this term.
Unlike many who are leaving
their school work behind, James
the Janitor is reluctant to put an
end to his school days.
Old age and the compulsory
retirement law have overtaken
him.
Twenty years ago last Septem
ber, James Coley was issued a
broom and was assigned the ar
duous task of mending, fires,
sweeping the hall, and the gen-
e-ral upkeep of the grounds.
Throughout this long period of
service to this institution, rco
one has ever heard him complaim
because the floors were unneces
sarily dirty or because there waS'
an undue amount of trash on:
the lawn. James always grinned
at sitaations like these, and has
quietly, as is his fashion, buckled
down to these distasteful tasks.
Now Seems Downcast
James, during the past few
weeks, has not been his usual
jovial selt When James was in
formed at his retirement, it af
fected him as it would have one
of his many G.H.S. students who
suddenly got expelled for appar
ently nothing at all. James was
innocent of the compulsory re
tirement law. The prospect of a
year without seeing his many
student friends seemed entirely
too much for him to digest.
In the twenty years 'he has
administered his janitorial du
ties throughout the school, James
has witness'ed the growth of
Goldsiboro High into one of the
state’s most widely known high
schools. One of James’ number
one interests is the Goldmas-
quers. He has watched this or
ganization along with the many
other G.H.S. functions attract na
tional fame. As far back as
James can remember, or, for that
part, as far back as anyone one
remember, he 'has taken his' seat
quietly on the left side of the
balcony for all the Goldmasquer
productions. The athletic squads
also hold James’ interest and on
■the mornings following athletic
contests, he always stops a mem
ber of the squad to get first hand
information of the event.
Wife Adds Responsibilily
Normally, compulsory retire
ment wouldn’t have inflicted
such a hardship upon him, but
two years ago James decided
that he needed female compan
ionship. He also wanted good
food, something that he had
missed in his bachelorhood. Aft
er his marriage several things
were needed to assist his wife
in supplying the woman’s touch.
Jim went out on a limb to fur
nish his home, spent his savings,
and even went into debt.
Twenty years of faithful ser
vice certainly deserve some kind
of reward. A campaign carried
on throughout the school in.
much the same manner as the
Red Cross and other campaigns
to raise funds to secure James
a sizable sume for a going-away
token would be entirely appro
priate.
The Hi News will accept your
contributions for this worthy
cause. So let them come. CON
TRIBUTE NOW!
Senior Gifts
Rogers Jewelry Store present
ed the Senior girls with graduat
ing gifts.
The girls selected their first

seniors picking out their pat
terns.
Giddens Jewelry Store has al
so invited the girls in to choose
a piece of silver.
HeUig-Meyers is presenting the
girls with a gift, a miniature ce

bracelet, anklet, or a beret with
the high school emblem on it.
The bojrs have their choice of a
small gold football or a tie clasp.
The Seniors are very grateful
to these stores for their gifts,
which are the first the majority
