EDITORIALS On behalf of the student body of the Goldsboro High School, we take this opportunity to thank those responsible for the radio set being placed in the auditorium, for our use during the World’s Series. This was one of the best entertainments that has been afforded us since we have been in our New High School building. If we ever intend to give student self-government a trial, why not now? At the present time the superintendent of the entire, system of city schools, Mr. Armstrong, is acting as principal since Mr. Hamilton left us. Student government would take a great load off Mr. Armstrong’s shoulders, and at the same time give the students an opportunity to develop as leaders and organizers. It is with sincere regret that we see Mr. Hamilton leave us. During the short time that he has been with us, Mr. Hamilton put the school in a smooth ly running condition. He organized clubs for the student’s benefit and pleas ure, and successfully inaugurated a system of schedules that has greatly less ened the confusion of the first days of school. The faculty and the stu dents wish him as much success in his new work as he had here. What is the purpose of the High School paper? Some think it is merely a money-making scheme for the senior class, but this is the wrong idea. We are putting out this paper so it can be distributed to the different homes of the students. We want the mothers and fathers of the Goldsboro High School students to know exactly what their children are doing in school; knov/ the activities that are going on. We also hope to arouse a stronger school spirit, and to reflect the honest opinions of the student body. Do we have a good football field? Yes, we have one just as good as there is in the State and we are certainly proud of it. The freshmen each year have job of fixing the field. Mr. Omer and his manual training class worked hard mowing the f^rass and painting the goal posts. William, the ■v-i3||6ihilia^ school janitor whL is the ^nly one ,^hat can operate the motored ' lawn, uiower, also deserves credit, if one goes into Mr. Helm’s room and looks across the field, he can get the full beauty of our gridiron against the ^ background of stately pines. ‘ ''At the present only 150 Student Season Tickets have been bought. Now if all these tickets had been bought by any one class it would show good class spirit, but when there are 490 students in the Goldsboro High 'S’chool and of this number only 150 have bought tickets, we fail to see where very much school spirit has been shown. Where is the school spirit that shone so bright ly in 192r., v/hen the Goldsboro High School sent its football and basketball teams farther into the State Championship Race than any Goldsboro team has since? “What time is the gane ” You’ll meet me there, won’t you? These are the questions heard everywhere in the halls of G. H. S. on foot ball days. “Sure we’ll 1)eat the’ and other similar expressions of confidence tell the tale of the students’ sujiport of their football team. Their enthusiasm is due to our e»nv:n'';jjal T. T. Hamilton, who so ardently led them to a new understanding of school life. “My, aren’t they just lovely!” “Such a beautiful design!” These remarks refer to Goldsboro High’s “flying colors” at her athletic events: r.i'.mely, the bright blue and white pennants. This is the result of the good work done by Miss Janie Ipoek and the Athletic Association. G. H. S. has plenty of pep and energy. Just watch us go for the football championship of the conference. Should we have a holiday for the fair? The average high school boy or girl would SHv “yes”. But the wise high school boy or girl would say “no”. Xow, just why would the wise boy or girl say “no”? There is probably not one perso’i in each high school that would not go to a fair if given a chance. So let’s take for granted that we do go to the fair. We ride the whip, the little automobiles, and the ferris wheel. We buy eats and drinks, and nine times out of ten we “gamble” a little. We take the money we started with and subtract the money we spent. W’^e find we have s])ent four dollars, or about that much in money, plus our time. “Well.” someone will say, “we had a lot of fun.” Yes. But, what Price Fun! We have no fence around our football field, we have no definite way of checking on the people who do not pay the admission to see the games. As a result there are a few students and outsiders who do not back our team by paying admission, but who come to our games anyway. Our team has to guarantee the visiting teams a certain amount to get therii to come here, and must be backed in order to pay this. The Athletic Asso ciation has put the admission in the reach of practically eveiTone, and it seems that one who cannot afford to see the games would certainly have enough pride and be honest enough to stay away, it is the same principle as slipping into the movies. If you feel that you cannot support the team, it would be very much ap preciated if you would have enough respect for the school, yourself, and the team, if you would not come to the games without paying, and in doing so show tliat you have the proper school spirit. TEACHERS AND BUSINESS WOMEN TAKING TYPE WRITING. Approximately thirty teachers and business women are taking typewrit ing and shorthand in the afternoons, under the supervision of Mr. Greene, commercial teacher of the High School. The course is given under the super vision of the Department of Public Instruction, State of North Carolina, and requires that each member taking the course must have finished high school and must now be working twenty hours a week. This course is given to help these people in their daily routine of work. The class, beginning at 3:00 P. M. and lasting until 4:00 P. M., is given only three times a week: Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. “These students follow instructions well and are learning rapidly,” said Mr. Greene. Freshmen Present Program on Manners Miss Sherwood’s freshmen class gave a delightful and instructive pro gram on Wednesday morning, Octo ber 30, at activity period. The sub ject was “Good Manners”. Gretchen Borden read a selection from Emer son’s Essays on Manners. Philip Bad- dour read a part of “Good Mannerr!” by Walton Bliss. A play was then given, the purpose of which was to show correct manne’’>; over the telephone, how to entertain a guest, how to introduce two persons, and table etiquette. This little play was presented by the following: Mi’. Jones, Dock; Glisson; Mrs. Jones, Mary Cleve Satterfield; Miss Amy, Eudello Perrish; Mrs. Brooks, Jeronia Jack son; Mr. Brooks, Marvin Howard; Maid, Louise Fields; Peggy, Lois Pate, and Pages, Mab Moye, “Dick” Thorn ton and John Wilson. The students enjoyed this play very* much, and no doubt were greatly bene- fitted by it. ttttttttxntxnmxtttttxtxxtnxxtxntxtxxxtttnxtxi 11 STUDENT OPINIONS’! I *xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxttv Clara Has the Right Idea. Editor of High School News Dear Sir: The students are support, ing Mr. Armstrong so well that he has said, “If the students keep improving we won’t need a principal at all.” This .'.Icne proves that the students like him and will do anything to help him. I am of the opinion that the stu dents are supporting our principal more this year than ever before. They are realizing that he has double work to do, as principal and superintendent both, and are endeavoring to help him. If all the students will continue to co-operate with Mr. Armstrong as they have been doing, it will be easier for not only him but the students as well. I am in favor of our helping Mr.' Armstrong in any way we can. Sincerely, / CLARA NORRIS. INTEREST SHOWN m SCIENCE CLUB Club is Divided into Five Departmerts. Radio is ^ Most Poj>mar . ‘AsLronomy, CiK^iuical M&gic, Scienoe Tricks, Living Tnings and Radio are the five departments of the Science Club this year. The first meeting of the Science Club was held Tuesday, October 9, in the science laboratory under the super vision of Mr. Helms, science teacher. After telling the purpose of the club, Mr. Helms divided the twenty-six members into five departments. As more than three-fourths of the club are interested in radio, this depart ment will get together before the next meeting and organize. Every Tuesday one of the depart ments will put on a ])rogram. Th ^ as'ronomy department will meet on a night to be decided upon at the next meeting. By dividing the club, the meetings may be held more systemati cally and more pleasure and knowledge may bo derived. The officers who were elected last year are: President—Clara Norris; Vice-Presi dent—Marion Whitted; Secreta’v — Mattie Gore; Treasurer—Clarence Pen. cock.

Dear Sir: Many remarks have been made concerning the spelling lessons given every Monday morning. Some of the pupils seem to think the time given to these lessons is wasted, while others think the lessons are of a great help to every individual. The other day I heard a person remark “I don’t need these spelling lessons because I learned how to spell in the grammar grades.” This may be true, yet one needs some training in spelling as a matter of practice. Anyone could spell rat, cat, give, or such words as that, but I wonder how many students could spell separate,laboratory,or with hold, correctly? Although such words are common every day words, the ma jority of the students misspell them. Many of the teachers have made re marks about the improvement of the spelling on test papers. This fact alone proves that the spelling lessons are doing some of the pupils good. No one is considered a well educated per- json if he cau>;ot spell. So why not jget 3^our bacl\ii^^round foi- spelling frr/m|i these thirty minute lessons? I I urge all members of the student body who are ])0or spellers, as well as those who can spell any word, to make the most of these spelling lessons. Per- sonaly I think the time well spent. Sincerely, MARTHA PARSONS. You’re paying a little money for a lot 'pf fashion, wear, and com fort. KIWnEY shoe STORE 119 W.

These are two of Goldsboro High School’s latest achievements. With Mr. W. L. Frederick as direc tor, and with Helen Elinwood, Dur- wood Pate, Carl McBride, Edward Bland, Cyrus Campen, William Smith, Mable Gordon, William Casey, Eliza beth Mitcham and Louise Ward as members of the orchestra, the High School is sure of having good musical programs. The band is not as ready for action as the orchestra because of lack of knowledge of the different instruments. Mr Frederick gives lessons during the day, and one day during the week the whole band practices. This course is offered to the lower classmen so as to have an accomplished band when they are juniors and seniors. This Oi^gh^-. to Start Some thing Editor of Goldsboro High School News. Dear Sir: It seems to me that the many comments and criticisms about the students not going home for lunch are unnecessary. It is quite easy to see that it is better for the students to remain on 1:he campus during rest and recrea tional i)eriod than to rush home, hur riedly eat their lunch and rush back reaching their class room as the last .bell taps calling them back to their classes, tired and more unnerved than ever. I ask you is all this rushing necessary when we have a clean “os- tefarious” lunch room, plenty of good things to eat, and twenty-five minutes in which to eat it in without rushing? Students, can’t you see that it is for Mour own good that this rule has been made and not just another rule to de prive you of privleges? Sincerely, D0RI3 MAE JONES.
