Annual New
Plans are being made by the
members of the Gohisca and the
Hi News staff for attending the
27th annual convention of the Co
lumbia Scholastic Press Associa
tion to be held at Columbia, Uni
versity, New York City, March 8,
9, and 10.
It now appears that thirty mem
bers of the two^ staffs will make
the trip, although the exact num
ber is not known.
Delegates from Goldsboro first
attended the convention in the
spring of 1949 when twelve mem
bers of the Hi News staff made
the trip led by the Hi News advis
or, Eugene L. Roberts. Last year,
twelve or fifteen from the com
bined staffs of the Gohisca and
the Hi News accompanied by both
Mr. and Mrs. Roberts.
On the first trip the group stop
ped at the Paris Hotel and last
year at the Woodstock, just off
Times Square. This year they will
stop at a downtown hotel but res
ervations have not been made.
Heretofore the delegation has
traveled by train, but this year

Tribute Is Paid
Arthur Strider
in Assembly Here
Tribute was paid Arthur Strider,
G.H.S. student who passed away
Christmas Eve after a brief ill
ness, in a Memorial Service held
January 5, in the Goldsboro High
School auditorium.
The service included the invo
cation given by Mr. Eugene Rob
erts, two songs. “Nearer My God
To Thee”, and “Rock of Ages”, by
ARTHUR STRIDER
seven boys, and talks made by Sara
Casey and Jimmy Frazier concern
ing Arthur’s past and the part he
played in our school. The service
ended with the Lord’s Prayer.
From South Carolina
Arthur moved to Goldsboro dur
ing his junior year, from Spartan
burg, South Carolina. He was a
complete stranger here; however
his cheery smile and friendly “Hel
lo” soon won him many friends.
Most of his spare time was taken
up by his job at his brother’s jew
elry store. His accomplishments at
the school included only a home
room presidency, but he did much
to create a better atmosphere
throughout the halls and class
rooms.
It is true that Arthur Strider has
left us—but only in body, for he
still and always will remain in our
heart.
“He was a form of lift and light
That, seen, became a part of
sight
And rose, where’er turned mme
eye,
The morning-star of memory!’

tered bus as the fare would be
cheaper for more than fifteen pas
sengers.
At the convention students have
opportunity to hear some of the
outstanding journalists of the
country as well as a chance to dis
cuss school publication problems
with students and advisors from
all parts of the United States.

afternoons and evenings are left
open for recreation and sightsee
ing.
The convention closes with a
luncheon held in the grand ball
rooms of the Waldorf-Astoria Ho

These trips have proved so en
joyable and educational that some
of the students have made more
than one trip.
Plans call for leaving Goldsboro
on Tuesday afterenoon and arriv
ing in New York early Wednesday
morning. The group will leave
New York on Saturday night there
fore arriving in Goldsboro early
Sunday morning on March 11.
Gym Completion
Set For Spring
If work on the new GHS gym is
not again interrupted by a short
age of materials, it is expected to
be completed by April or May, ac
cording to the contractors.
The biggest problem now is to
obtain a large amount of yellow
bricks with which the interior of
the gym is to be finished.
The gym has been progressing
well in the last few months, so af
ter the lobby is extended up and
the roof brought over to meet it,
most of the work will be done on
the outside.
A concrete floor covered with
wood, offices over the lobby, and
dressing rooms under the bleach
ers are just a few of the modern
features of the new gym.
Next basketball season will be
around sooner than it seems and
students hope by then ♦he games
will be enjoyed in the comfort of
the new gym. There will be plenty
of space for everyone and a score
board and clock appropriated by
the class of ’50.

the student association were shown
