Distribute New Handbooks
GHS’s Junior Civitan Club, a
recently organized service club,
will distribute to each member of
Senior High School and to every
incoming sophomore a student
handbook written by the mem
bers of the club and edited by
Peyton Neal, chairman of the
projects committee.
This handbook, which received
the award as the most outstand
ing Junior Civitan project in the
state, was compiled by Bob Her-
ford, Jan Hensley, and Roy
Michaux. The entire project was
financed by advertisements of
which Bc^e Ravenel was in charge.
The purpose of the booklet is
to acquaint incoming students—
either rising sophomores or trans
fers with the new school. In it are
sections devoted to the faculty
and department heads, organiza
tions—school sponsored, service,
and social, the curriculum, awards
and scholarships, athletics, a his
tory and diagram of the school and
a section on the guidance center.
Also there is a part made up of
general information and even
next year’s football schedule.
The Junior Civitans hope that
tbeir booklet will be a means
whereby other students in towns
all over North Carolina will be
come acquainted with GHS. Grad
uating seniors, through this book
let, will be able to show other
students a pocket-size view of
their school.
“Our handbook,” says Peyton
Neal, “is really a condensed ver
sion of the annual without its
pictures or floss.”

Senicr High Library will close
circulation of books for the school
year May 22, 1956. No books v/ill
be charged out after that date;
however, the library will be open
through May 25, 1956, for refer
ence purposes.
The library staff is asking the
co-operation of everyone in help
ing to get all books in by May
25.
Quite a large number of books
have been lost and paid for. Many
of them may still be around the
school. A large box has been placed
outside the library door. Every
one is asked to place any un
claimed books in this box.
Too much of the yearly library
budget has to be spent on replace
ments. This means a cut in the
number of new titles which might
otherwise be added.
Any books not returned to the
library by May 22, 1956, at 4 p.
m. will be charged for at the
rate of 25 cents per book i>er day.
