QUAKES FIEST WIN OF SEASON OVER WARSAW Goldsboro Earthquakes got their first win of the season last Friday by taking the return game with Warsaw 6 to 1 The pitching of Frank HiCks was the outstanding feature of Golds boro’s defense, he causing 13 batters to leave the plate with another strike out to their credit. The offense for the Quakes was carried on by Parker, Worrell, Moore, Gillikin, Munns, and Taylor, each of these got a hit a piece. Captain Parker and Charlie Worrell led the hitting with two each. The whole team looked good, play.ng er rorless ball and showing plenty of fight. For Warsaw, the pitching of West, portsider, was outstanding, he contrib uted a single and a triple, while Phil lips, second baseman, led his team mates with a double and two triplets These were the only clean hits by the Warsaw nine. The Earthquakes meet Fayetteville this afternoon at Griffin Park. GOLDSBORO HI LOSES TO FAYETTEVILLE Goldsboro dropped their second ball game of the season to the Fayetteville High School nine in the latter’s park on April 1,2. The Quakes out hit the Highlanders, but lost by the score of 3 to 2. Munn’s timely home run in the fifth inning with Taylor on base accounted for the locals’ runs. Fayetteville earn ed one run, the other two markers re sulting from a pair of errors. For the Quakes,the pitching of Hicks and Mason was outstanding. Fayette ville presented one of the best catch ers in the state in Hodges. The starting of the game was delay ed until about six o’clock by the Fay- etteville-Durham professional contest which played in the same park.

I ttmtttmttttxttttuzixutxttttiunxtututtttv Well, tho baseball Earthquakes oi 'G. H. S. have played three games and they have a sttinding of 2 lost and 1 won. The first game was intended to end as Goldsboro’s victory, but by a slip of the ball from the catcher’s mitt, Warsaw tied the game and then won it in the eleventh inning. Golds boro had a 7 to 1 lead over Warsaw in the sixth inning; but since you can't keep a good team down, Warsaw took home the larger end of the score. The second game was played at Fay etteville and again the ball slipped from the mitt to let the winning run across. The game was really tight as the 3 to 2 score indicates. The third game was played in Warsaw and in this game the Quakes redeemed themselves by winning a 6 to 1 victory. During the hot weather the students seemed to get restless, and wanted to get out doors to enjoy nature’s work. Therefore several groups have taken advantage of the spring days Dy get ting out in the park. One hot day Mr. Greene took the Hiking Club out at their regular meet ing. As Wyatt Exum and Mr. Greene happened to be the only two men along with about fifteen girls, they were the center of attraction. One could see Wyatt darting about leasing the girls and then dashing back to Mr. Greene and tell him about his victims. The library Pages, under supervision of Miss Roark used one activity pe riod in taking pictures. They took pictures of the members, committees and officers. The kodak and films for these pictures were furnished by Beu lah Turner, one of the Pages. The Travel Club, coached by Miss Perry has also used their club time for taking pictures Not only clubs but also the differorit classes have been going out snd en joying the spring weather. Miss Ipock took her geometry classes out to meas ure the shadows of trees and posts. After they had accomplished this she took them in the shade and used the ground to draw figures and write out different propositions that they were to have the next day. The third year Latin class taught by Mrs. Middleton also escaped the heat of the school building for the shade of the park trees, and had their recitation on the band stand in the park. It happened that the little park pony used to haul articles to the park was tied to a tree near the place where they were translating Latin, Some were accused of having used liim to translate their lesson. A girl) whose last name was Bass, came back to school with marks of chicken pox still showing. First boy: She looks like a speckled trout. Second boy: No, she doesn’t. She looks like speckled bass. To prove that baseball can be play ed at dusk I will ask you if you saw I the game with Warsaw here. Warsaw tied the score late in the game and j this necessitated more playing. In j the tenth inning darkness was rapidly falling and in the eleventh inning it j had almost completed its downward journey. In this inning Warsaw tal lied and the game was theirs. After the Quakes had changed into civilian clothes they went home to find cold suppers awaiting them, for it was past eight o’clock. The Junior Interclass debaters,Mary Pipkin and Billy Crow, defeated the freshmen debaters, Marion We i and Mary Eliz. Kelly, Thursday morning, February 14. The question for debate was; Re solved, that the jury system should be abolished; with the Juniors taking the negative side of the question and the Freshmen taking the affirmative. Marian Weil started the debate as the first speaker of the affirmative with a strong voice and argument. Then Mary Pipkin, first speaker of the negative, got up to present her view of the question. Time was call ed on both Marian and Mary. Next, defending the affirmative, was Mary Eliz. Kelly. Mary Eliz. arose with a determined look and a determ ined voice, and though she did not speak all of her limited time, she made her speech convincing by talking slow ly and distinctly, Billy Crow, the sec ond speaker for the negative, spoke with the deliberations of an orator. Miss Christine Vick is quoted as. „ ... ,, having said,-“Mary Pipkin had'the' best rebuttal that I have ever heard a high school student give.” The Juniors are expecting to debate the Sophomores, who defeated the Sen iors, March 7; but due to the fact the material was late arriving, the debate will most probably be delayed. The' question to be debated is: Resolved,' That the United States should have ' a national system of education. I tmimtf LATIN CLASS PLAYS BALL WITH WORDS The second period Liitin Cius.i, taught by Mrs. Middleton, discovered a new way to study vocabularies. On Thursday morning, March 27, during their regular period, this class nad a baseball game, using Latin words as the balls, with Esther Lee Cox and John Wilson as captains of the respect ive teams. Ernest Eutsler pitched for Esther Lee’s side; John himself pitched balls for his group. As in a real basebtili game, there was an “ump” for each side. Matt Howell allowed no foul balls to pass as safe, for Esther’s team, and Mary Alice Dewey passed her judgment on each ball for John’s team. Mrs. Middleton kept score for the con testants. This is how the game is played: The pitcher fires a word and the man at bat strikes at it having three strikes, The latter makes first base if he can give the correct English word for the Latin, or vice versa. As most baseball games usually have ni^® innings, so does this one. At the end of the eighth, John’s nine had the advantage over E;sther’s with the score of 2-1. But during the ninth inning, Esther’s nine climbed to a victory of 4-2, with Esther as high scorer—hitting every ball she struck at during the game. Robert Munns may be small, but he isn’t too small to lose a baseball. In Fayetteville, Robert connected with the bleachers. The fielder evidently needed bleacher^. The fielder eidentl;,j needed some specks or something of the kind for he could not locate the naughty horsehide. While the fielder searched for the ball, Robert circled the bases, and scored a team-mate ahead of him. This honor resulted in two runs—the only ones scored by the Quakes. JUNIORS HAVE RINGS ASSEMBLY PERIOD COJNUUCTJSU JBY tHB u±iJ!;MiS‘rK3£ uJjASS A number ol interesting and excit ing chemistry experiments supervised by Mr. R, M. Heims, high school science instructor, were perlormed la Chapel Thursday, April 18. Members of the chemistry classes who aided Mr. Helms in the exi>eri- ments were: Mary Elizabeth Harts horn, Elizabeth Mitcham, Olive Spence Wilson Johnson, Arcnie Pate, and Ma rion Whitted. The most exciting experiments wero those conducted by Wilson and Archie, Wilson put sodium and also potassiura. on water to show how water acts oa certain metals;—the result was a very violent action which finally resulted in an explosion. Arqhie made and exploded with the light touch of a string a very dangerous compouud which was made of nitrogen and iodine. Although Archie said that the ex plosive was not of much value com mercially, Mr. Armstrong, superinten dent of the Goldsboro Schools, said that if he had had some of that mix* ture to have laid on his old mule’s back some years ago and touched it with a string like that, he would have probably plowed more ground. Frank Hicks was the hero of the second Warsaw game. This promising young southpaw fanned 13 of the War. saw batters and as the ball didn’t slip the Quakes drew their first blood quite freely. MR. HELMS CONDUCTS j UNUSUAL TESTS Mr. Helms is conducting an experi- ' ment on butterfiies and moths. He' has a collection of about eighty co-1 coons ranging in weight from one to i eight grams. I Mi^. Helms says that the object in ' collecting these cocoons is to deter-' mine .whether the weight of the co-, coon has any effect on the size and , sex of the moth. Some of the cocoons have opened and he has about fifteen moths and butterflies of different i shapes and colors, j Mr. Helms says he first weighs the 1 coccon and then the moth after it | comes out. So far nothing definite' has been decided. j Although it isn’t exactly in my line— how about those debaters? Just think, one more vote and Goldsboro High would have been the proud possessor of the Aycock Memorial Cup, But don’t worry, we will probably win it next year. Last year we went to the semi-finals, this year to the finals, and next year—well you can use your imagination. About sixty-five Juniors received their rings Wednesday, April 17. Th’s is a larger number than usual. Dur ing the spelling period on the morn ing of April 17, Miss Ipock and George EMwards, President of the class of 1930, went in each home room of the Junior class and called out the initials on each ring, , For the remainder of the day it look ed like a hand show as the Juniors waved their rings over their heads to remind those who got theirs last year of the days gone forever, and those who will get their rings in the years to come of what they have to work for, mmxttnxtttitxxxxxxxtxxxttxmtnxtmtttxmtt Don't Forget | 711, Lct'lVCD -J ’o uTiu * up wliat fire may de stroy in a few minutes.
