About July 1st, no doubt someone will be searching the house over for some article which hasn’t been seen around since June 8th. Then it might possibly occur to him that he just happened to have left it in his locker out at school when the last minute rush out of the build ing began. Now is the time to clean out your locker. Throw away the things you aren’t going to need and take home those you want to keep. That way there will be no loss of the things you want ed but just forgot to take home. WE HONOR LAST WEEKS OF A SENIOR For seniors the next three weeks are the ones which they will remember all their lives. With the memories of the Junior-Senior dance. Class Day, Bsiccalaureate Sermon, and finally Gradua tion night, each member of the senior class will go his own way, some will go to college to acquire more knowledge which will help them in their life’s work, while others will begin working im mediately after graduation. The seniors have worked twelve years for their diplomas and come Graduation night, good luck and wishes will follow every senior as he walks across the stage and on through life. A FEW SHORT DAYS Pretty soon we’ll be able to count on our fin gers the number of days more we have to go to school this year—and we won’t have to count the same finger twice. If you are completely failing a course, there is little you can do about it now. But if you’re not one of the hopeless ones, if you are just one of the students who are on the borderline, there is a chance for you if you will buckle down and get to work right now. You’d be amazed at how much you could bring up your grade with this last quarter, if you’re willing to try. One Hour To Live: What Would You Do? What in life means most to you?

She stepped up into the chair manship her sophomore year and also assumed the duties of class editor for the 1948 Gohisca. She also started a promising career in the Goldmasquers her second year in G.H.S. and has climbed the ranks until she now represents that group as a business manager. During the year of 1948-1949, she was sec retary of the group. Her acting lists such plays as “The Shepherd’s Song,” “The Tavern,” ‘The Willow and I,” “The Return of the Vagabond,” and “John Loves Mary”, while her radio talents have best 'been shown with the directing job she did with “Uncle Jim,” the Sunday morning show which the Goldmasquers had during ’48 and ’49. Florence’s scholastic standing in the class qualified her for both National Honor Society and a Marshal’s position this year and work in S.A. Council this year has consisted of the chairman ship of the Foreign Schools com mittee. She is also one of ten G.H.S. Seniors to be listed in the 1949- 1950 High School register, a Who’s Who of American high school students. Jimmy Ellis During the four years he has been in G.H.S., Jimmy has serv ed as a member of the Board of Elections, Flag Committee, S.A. Council, the Hi News staff and as a manager for each of the three major sports in the high school. After posts on committees his first two years, Jimmy was elect ed to serve as S.A. vice president his junior year and as S.A. pres ident his final year.

He served as cor responding secretary of the Varsity Club his junior year in Bob Mitchell Since the beginning of last fall when he first moved to Golds boro, no one has made quite the name for himself as our honoree for this issue—Robert Allen Mitchell. He seems to have fitted right in with things at high school and besides the good name he has made for himself, he has made friends with everyone. At school Bob has been very active. He was appointed S. A. Devotional chairman, was made ■business manager of the Gohisca, has been homeroom president, is in the men’s chorus, was in charge of the senior stunt night, and was winner of the peace es say contest.

He is Com mission chairman of the Pres byterian League and is active in Sunday school work. Before he moved here he lived in Frankfurt, Ky., and he ap pears to have been just as hard a worker there. He was taken into the National Honor Society there, and he moved his mem bership to Goldsboro. He was president of the Student Asso ciation, governor of the Ken tucky-Tennessee Key Club In ternational, Kentucky state champion in extemporaneous speaking, and president of the debating club. Bob was born in Pittkburg, Pa., on March 28, 1933 and shortly afterwards moved to Kentucky. Likes Sports His favorite sport is basket ball and along the line of food he likes anything his mother cooks, especially steak and French fries. When it comes to movie stars his favorite actor is Donald Duck; but since he saw “Gus”, the mouse in Cinderella, he things it would be a hard de cision between the two. There is one thing that he IS sure of, though, and that is girls are his hobby. Bob plans to go to Davidson College next year and after col lege he is considering being a preacher. When I asked Bob how he addition to his managerial and journalistic duties. His publici ty of the Earthquake squads for the past three years has appear ed in papers all over North Caro lina as well as filling the sports pages of the Hi News, which he has served as Sports Editor for two years. Jimmy’s work in dramatics consists of parts in “The Flute and The Vine,” the Goldmas quers 1947 State Contest show, and “The Willow and I”. Radio productions in which he has ap peared are “Legend of Dust”, and “Slate Notes.” He is also listed in the high school register. Peggy Malpass She might be described as having blonde hair, brown eyes, and a sweet disposition, as being helpful and charming; or most likely the girl who is never seen without Donald. Any one of these would cer tainly be fitting for our girl hon oree this issue, Peggy Jean Mal pass. Having been bom in Goldsboro, she has lived here all of her 18 years. She was a cheerleader her first year here. Since that time she has been Circulation Manager for the Hi News, a make-up edi tor for the Gohisca.

She worked on the Properties committee for “The Willow and I”, and has served various other class com mittees. Peggy takes an active part in the M.Y.F. Any time you need a job done, whether it be large or small, you can count on Peggy. As for food she likes fried chicken and cocoanut pie. June Allyson and Donald Per cise rank highest as far as movie stars are concerned. Peggy likes, along with other things, Sociology and “Because”. As she has no special dislikes in life we predict she’ll make someone a mighty fine wife (wonder who). She’s especially interested in any kind of sports and being that her better half is quite an athletic. Her real ambition is to become a housewife, has met with obstacles at the present so till then she’s planning to at tend E.C.T.C. You have made a good start, Peggy! Continue on as in the past and all the doors to success are bound to open for you in the future. liked living in North Carolina he said that he really liked it but that he thought he had a little tar on his heels and blue grass stain on his pants. “Vagabond” Given The Goldmasquers in collab oration with the Junior Class presented George M. Cohan’s “The Return of the Vagabond” May 6 and 8. This was a sequel to “The Tavern” which was giv en last year. Jimmy Shumate starred as the Vagabond. Some of the people who played in “The Tavern” returned to play the same characters in its sequel, “The Return of the Vagabond.” The profits of the play were split fifty-fifty between the Ju nior Class and the Goldmasquers. The Juniors are putting on the Junior-Senior with their profits.
