IIo was in the chemistry “lab” trying'an experiment labeled “Caution” when the explosion occurred. Upon examining himself, Ben found that he was :ioTie the worse for his experiment. Ben was hurrying through with his experiment so he could go down to the auditorium to “listen in” on the sec ond game of the World Series. The experiment, which almost caused dis astrous results, required that a metalic capsule be filled with sodium and thrust downwards into an inverted test tube filled with water. Ben start ed to follow instructions, but when the capsule was half way down, a bit of the sodium came out, and the result was an explosion. It may be of interest to the readers to know that the other, students took their time.

The management of the Cafeteria has been taken over by the school, and .Mrs. Spicer,' the former manager, is working on a salary. She reports to Mr. Armstrong the purcharses. LIBRARY PAGES ELM'^OFPICERS FORTY STUDENTS PLAN TO GIVE ONE PERIOD EVERY DAY TO SERVICE AND APPEARANCE OF THE LIBRARY.

Jlaviiig heard tin's and remembering that lie had seen the boys on every ride, in every side show, and at all times having their mouths, pock ets, and hands full of candy, peanuts, hot dogs, and everytbing else eatable that was sold at tbe fair, the reporter determined to find out how the boys could spend so much money and still have so much left for another day. Upon approaching and asking them where they obtained such riches, be was quickly given this answer: “By the use of BRAINS and BUSIXESS ABfUTY.” After having made fur ther investigation be discovered that the boys had cleaned up the closets of their respective homes the Saturday before the fair, and had a very succes'^- ful rummage sale which carried ihe name of Best and Fonville. According to the boys, the profits were around $12.00 which was being used in the useful manner described above. Miss STierwood, chairman of the faculty committee for introducing Stu dent Self Government into Goldsboro High School, and her helpers. Miss Vick and Miss Atkins, have begun their work in earnest. Sudent participation Is being tried now, and so far has proved successful. The students are formed Into commit tees to take charge where they are needed. The members of the assembly sqnad are, Mary Hall Smith, Sara Derr, Mer- rette Moore and Alexander McLean. These students see that the auditorium is made attractive with flowers and is properly ventilated. They meet all visitors coming to the school to speak to the students, and make these visi tors seem as much at home as possible. Those taking charge of the halls dur ing lunch periods are, Elizabeth Smith and Leslie Parfour. These students stay in the halls and see that there is quiet so that classes maj^ be carried on without disturbance. In each homo room and class room Miss Sherwood hopes to organize a committee to check the daily attend- anse, see that the room is properly ventilated and that the room is kept in order, paper picked up off the floor and the shades adjusted. Nothing definite has been deci'hMl about the study halls, although i,ho school has some honor study hails. These are run by the students oi-d have proved successful. SPE.L.LTTif!.

Is required of every puj)!] in high school. For some years the teachers and princi))als have been tr,\'iing to devise a way that s))el]ing might bo tau.‘;U't successfully. It was a j)i'oblom since high schools and colIoTes do not give a unit for this subject. A^Vliile 1V1 r. T. T. Hamilton was studv. ing at Columbia University this sum- niei he found out how other schools were teaching spelling, so he adoi)ted Iheir idan. 1'rom S: 4.^ to 9:00 on Mond;iy mornings all students spell twenty-five new words. If a student misses a word on Monday, he has to drill on it Tues- jday, Wednesday and Thursday morn ings; while the student who makes a hundred has a study period. On Fri day all students have to spell all words again to see if there is any im provement over Monday’s record. The suelling list is compiled by the j English teachers from words misspell- led most frequently. Since this plan has been followed the teachers have noted a consideral'le impi ovement in spelling, in themes, and test papers. Mr. Hamilton has resigned. This fact was announced to the stu. dent body on October 9, in chapel by Superintendent Ray Armstrong. Mr. Hamilton made this change to take up his graduate work at Peabody Teach ers College in Nashville, Tennessee. Mr. Hamilton received an unusual opportunity from PeabodjT while he was visiting the school this summer. After he completes his winter and spring terms at Peabody, he will re turn to Columbia summer school to get his Master’s degree. While he Is la Peabody he will study for the higher degree of doctor of philosophy. During the time Mr. Hamilton has been principal of Goldsboro High, he has done everything possible to make G. H. S. the best school in the state. “If the students in high school would work as hard on their studies as Mr. Hamilton has worked on his duties, I’m sure not a student would fail his work.” said Mr. Armstrong In his an nouncement. The real school spirit has been greatly increased, and every thing has been run as a well organ ized system. Mr. Hamilton spent much of the first five weeks of school manning the activ- itie*?, .'tnd mnVirifr n]nns for the rest of the school year. H'e leaves all his work comnlete and well-organized. Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton left S'atu^ day, October l.-^, so Mr. Hamilton couKl begin work Tuesday. October 16. HiaH AIMS SET FOR ass.em:^y pe.i^iobs Mn.riy •T’r ‘Have Ars Co-operat ing.
