FOOLISH FOOLERY | By I William Privett BARBAROUS IFS AGAIN If the chocolate in your cup, Seems warm or rather hot, Just drink it from your saucer, That helps to cool it lots. If your hobby is to dance And your trouble is her toes. Always ask forgiveness Or she’ll get other beaux. If you ever get too warm. And near you is a pond Just sprinkle your clothes with water, That cools you from the sun. If the fellow in front of you Is smaller than yourself. Just push him to the side. And say, “Hope you won’t feel left.” THE ESCAPE Red O’Brien knew, this was his one big chance. He must outrun his pur suers! There was no other way around the question. He absolutely must not fail. For four long years O’Brien had planned and dreamed of this chance. Now it was here. Maybe it would be his last one. No one knew; not even Red O’Brien. But he knew that 8,000 souls were depending on* him. It meant much to them and more for O’Brien. Then the critical moment came. Could he make it? His goal was only 10 feet away. Then he would be safe. O’Brien made one big leap forward, throwing his weight, his heart, all his energy into this last effort to out distance his pursuers.—A string pop ped on his broadened cihest. Red O’Brien had beaten the Yale runners and saved the day for Prince ton at the Olympic Games. BOY’S DREAM OF SUMMER Beside the silent pond we stand Carving our initials in the sand. Thinking and dreaming of days v^ry rare, When we played such pranks. And got such spanks. For our uncombed—dampened hair. MISS IPOCK ENTERTAINS 10A. Miss Janie Ipock was a charming hostess at a Valentine party which she gave her home room section, 10 A, Friday evening, Feb. 16, at her home on East Mulberry Street. The party was given to them because they all bought season tickets to the basket ball games. Miss Celia Perry, who assisted with the games, enjoyed the evening wi!:'n the rest of the guests. Refreshments consisting of divinity fudge, block ice cream with a red heart design in the middle, cakes, salted peanuts and heart shaped candy were served to those present. TRAVEL CLUB HAS VALENTINE PARTY. The Minnehaha Travel Club had a. most enjoyable time at a Valentine Party, which took place Valentine Eve at the home of one of its mem bers, Clara Lee Edwards. Miss Celia Perry, sponsor of the club cfhaperon- ed the party. The home was beauti fully decorated with red hearts and valentines. To give the guests a cor dial welcome, there was a large red heart on the front door. Red Valentine caps were given to each person in the early part of the evening and were worn until their departure. Games and contests were enjoyed. Fortune telling and arrow shooting were also interesting fea tures. Esquimo pies, punch, wafers, and candy were served to those present. While tl;e guests were enjoying these eats, the mail man came with Special Delivery letters for every one. These were valentine favors.. THREE OF ’28 CLASS RETURNED HOME. Mary Frances Parker, Mildred Hen derson, and Margaret Moye, three of the ’28 class of Goldsboro High have returned home from their respective colleges on account of illness. Mary Frances is now recuperating from a severe illness of scarlet fever and has come from West Hampton College, Virginia. Margaret Mbye has returned from the North Carolina College for Women on account of after-effects of the “flu” Mildred Henderson after an opera tion for appendicitis, had to come home from Virginia Teachers Col lege. BOY’S DREAM OF WINTER. Beside the melting snow we stand Watching the mud change back to sand. Thinking and dreaming of those days of tricks. When though we were sly, When we often would cry. For filling the snowballs with bricks. |10-B HAS CHARGE WASHINGTON I PARTY. j George Washington’s birthday was I celebrated Friday, Feb. 22, by Miss ; Perry’s home room section, lOB. j ■ A George Washington program was ; carried through, with Lois Casteen j in charge. After this, the class went j out to the pines and enjoyed refresh ments. SOLVE BY X. This is a problem that up to this time has not been solved: JMgerton Baker thought he was Rip Van Win kle the other day forgot to remember that his first period class was jour nalism. Consequently, he went to his second class first and his third class before he remembered he forgot to go to his first class first. Now Edgerton is not the kind of boy that falls heels overhead in love, and goes crazy about it (her if your please) so that solution fails. He is not to be questioned as to the amount of dust in his head or rust on his wheels, so that popular solution fails. To make things worse Edgerton can’t give a solution himself. Any way, the honor’s all his. He probably will be appointed chairman of the research committee for the Senior Insane Club. (A fantastically abstract club that every Senior is un- awarely a member of.—Apologies to Joe Parker and Alex McLean.) this from being a book review, play review, et cetera, the play is: Cast: Ford Truck, 18 boys. Principal Act one. Scene one: School Yard. Ford Chug-a-lug—Pow-wow. Boys: Let’s hold it. Ford: Bet you can’t (A struggle ensues.) (Curtain falls.) Act two, scene one—Classrooms. Principal—Who touched the Ford? Boy (timidly)—I did, Mr. Armstrong 2nd Boy—I did too. 16 more boys—I did. Principal. Meet in the office. (Exeunt all) (Curtain falls.) Act three Scene: Office. Principal—^Damage amounts to $3 60—One conduct slip and 20 cents per person. Boys collapse—(Why not? So did the Ford!) THE COLUMN »************************************************* zT The sophomore sewing classes are making spring coats and dresses. This is a great opportunity for the girls, as they become familiar with making the more difficult garments. The third year Latin class of G.H. S. took the State Latin contest exam March 7, which gave them a chance to win the state prize, a silver loving cup, for the best paper on this exam. Mrs. Middleton, the third year Latin teacher in G.H'.S., will select .three of the best exam papers written by G.H.S. students and will send them to the state judges. The Junior Class of G.H.S. sold $105 worth of tickets to the perform ance given by the Carolina Playmak- ers, Saturday night, Feb. 23. The Class received, in all, $15.75, which was 15 per cent on the number of tick ets sold. The A section of the Junior class sold the largest number of tickets. This sum. will be added to the “Ban quet Fund.” So far the library course has been given to the 10th, 11th, and two sec tions of the 9th grade. At this rate the course would not be finished this year, so Miss Roark has decided to give the course to two sections each two weeks. To carry out this plan, Mr. Helms room was called on to give up their home room at activity period as long as the library course is being given. G.H.S’s per centage of failures at the conclusion of the first semester of the school year 1928-29, was Consider ably lower than that of Wilscn and Kinston. It is the first time that Lte per centage of failures has been re corded in the G.HjS’. The second year French classes have been reading a five-act French plaiy. “Le Voyage de Monsieur Per- richon,” by Labiche & Martin. The play is one of the leading productions in France today. Although it is writ ten entirely in French, the students are enjoying it very much.

C. “Speaking of the fight,” says Char lie Simmons, ?s he enters Robinson’s Drug Store,—^but he got no further. He was immediately thrown out on his ear, and several people were hurt in the rush. All we have heard about for the lust week or so is the Stribling-Sharkey fight. Every one has his opinion and is sure that he knows exactly why Sharkey won or Stribling lost. So you can readily see after over a week of this, why: Charlie was thrown out. But On the other hand you can’t blame him, for Charlie is one of the Golds boro folks who attended the fight in Miami. The others are Mr. Worley and Ed Waters. J. C. PENNY CO. The new shelves, built by Mr. Omf.r and his manual training classes, seem to please Miss Roark very much. T1 e librarian said that heretofore when she tried to find an old magazine ^;r paper she had to look nearly a wh:>le period before she found it. Now siie has them systematically arranged and can find any paper or magazine with in a very short time. Why can’t the students be provided with some entertainment or amuse ment at the lunch period on rainy days? The only thing they can do 5s to go in the auditorium and wa'k around and talk. We suggest that a basketball goal be hung from the stepl L' fims, or u punching bag be fixed up so as to entertain the boys. Mr. Helms, science instructor, is to be commended for his untiring ef forts. He has been seen working in his laboratory some nights until 11 and 12 o’cloc'k. When some one told him that he ought to present a bill to the school for overtime work, he said |Geo. Far four & Bros.J WHEN IT RAINS- IT POURS. THE 20c LESSON. In this tragedy of three acts, three sdenes and three characters, taking three minutes to perform, is rn en tirely old cast in a new role. The plot is a simple one, covering the doings of a group of the Golds boro High School boys, a Ford truck, and the principal of the school. To relieve the suspense and to keep The excessive rainfall of last week did more than make things wet. It made a circus wagon of the school truck. The rain had soaked the top cover ing of the truck and the wind found it very easiyi to tear off. So it did; but one end of the covering remained attached to the top. As the truck went down the street frantically waving its “wings”, it caus ed many curious glances. The next day the truck was noticed to be minus all its top. Lucky for the daily pas sengers it hasn’t rained since then. :: FOR 30 YEARS GOLDSBORO’S HbIGGEST VALUE-GIVING STORE ♦♦ ♦♦ ♦♦ ♦♦ II i I DORTCH I ♦♦ >♦ I Electric Contracting | Motor Repair/ Radio Phone 46 H World’s largest chain department H stores.
