SOCIOLOGY CLASS
FORMS INTO CLUB
Student participation is being
given a real test in the recently
formed Sociology Club, an out-
growtli of the new Sociology and
Economics course.
Thomas Pearson, has been elected
president; Billy Griffin, survey
chairman; Marie Ellis, secretary
and treasurer; and Maurice Ed
wards, council representative. Miss
Beasley, the instructor, is sponsor.
The students conduct the pro
grams which are chosen and planned
by themselves. All meetings are
conducted under rules of parlia
mentary procedure.
The constitution was drawn up
and accepted by the students. This
code, modeled after the Constitu
tion of the United States, controls
the governing of the class.
As a club, this body has submitted
its constitution to the Club Council
and applied for membership. Every
class period will be a club meeting
and it will be possible to belong to
another club which meets at activity
period.
Discussions are conducted by the
president, or someone appointed by
him, who is responsible, with the
other officers, for all programs. He
may turn programs over to other
students in order to bring out and
develop initiative in all members.
The survey chairman is a new
office substituted for the office of vice
president. Billy Griffin, who was
elected to this office, assigns certain
topics of unusual interest to dif
ferent members for further investi
gation.
This newly created club, which
offers an unusual course, gives
promise of accomplishing much for
each of its fifteen members and
■winning recognition in G. H. S.
ATTENTION!!
The E. C. A. Victor Company
will present to the Goldsboro
High School an electrical Vic
tor combination radio and vic-
trola if the school can secure
2,500 VICTOR records. Any old
Victor records may he used. Mr.
Stapleton urges all students to
cooperate.

That war, more horrible than ever
before, however futile, is inevitable,
but that Goldsboro High School stu
dents can do much toward promot
ing peace, was shown in a very im
pressive program in chapel yester
day by the members of the newly
formed Sociology Club with the aid
of several American History stu
dents.
The program consisted of four
talks and three short, but very con
clusive skits, including a scene in
which the actual suffering, death,
and devastation of war, was de
picted.
After an introductory talk by
Thomas Pearson, president of the
Sociology Club, and chairman of
the program, a peace treaty scene
was presented in which the nations
of the world were shown on very
friendly terms, each one declaring
that war was at an end, perma

R. M. HELMS WRITES
PHYSICS WORKBOOK
High School Physics, by R. M.
Helms, G. H. S. science teacher,
the result of four years’ work, is
being used as a new text and work
book this year, as an experiment be
fore having it copyrighted and pub
lished.
In the nature of an introduction
to the workbook is the Creed of a
Science Student, which has been
used by the I. O. O. S. club for
several years. This creed maintains
the right to investigate and learn
the secrets of nature because human
progress has been based upon their
knowledge, and accepts the respon
sibility which increased power
places upon the enlightened student.
The workbook consists of fifteen
complete units. Each imit has a
list of projects -which are designed
to appeal to all phases of student
interest, such as collections, handi
crafts and essays.
Among the collections is one
showing the floating of objects of
different densities in various liquids.
Troii is shown floating on mercury,
but sinking in all other liquids.
Coal is shown floating in chloro
form, while hardwood floats in wa
ter, but sinks in kerosene.
Every exercise includes an intro
duction and several demonstrations.
In addition, there are twenty-nine
experiments which each student is
to perform.
Tests given before and after the
study of each unit aid in determin
ing the student’s progress. A sum
mary sheet gives a concise discus
sion of the unit as a whole.
No textbook is required, but it is
desirable to have copies of different
physics texts in the classroom for
references. This plan reduces the
book cost considerably.
