How Students Feel About Present Educational Crisis Maybe it makes no dif- Perhaps you haven’t noticed it; we have, ference to you; it does to us. The educational system of I^orth Carolina is not up to par. We, the youth of today, the state of tomorrow, are not getting our due. Our teachers are overworked, high-strung, in many cases unable to ^ve any individual aid to students. Our buildings, valuable and beautiful, are not receiving proper care. Here in G. H. S. there are over 700 students. How much does the legislature of the Old ISTorth State appropriate for the library, our mainstay? IsTot even $14.00 for the whole year. How will we benefit from the new books being published? How shall the old books be re placed? How is it possible for the library to supply our needs? We’re willing to help out. But do you think we should attend a school not sufficiently heated? Do you think that we should be con stantly reminded not to use the lights unless it is absolutely imperative ? These are only minor objections. If you think that a teacher can instruct pupils as thoroughly and sufficiently in eight months as in nine, you’ve made a great mistake. What kind of showing will we make against those students who receive from nine to ten months train ing from well-experienced, highly-educated, truly-contented teachers? We’ve thrown you the torch, citizens, parents.^ Take it up. Show the General Assembly what we are losing. It is your duty both to God and country. Heed. it. Another Stitch in Tims Now that the point system has been in operation for almost two years and is fast becoming a vital part of our school life, its structure and purpose should be understood by the entire student body. Here tofore there have been students who, taking a small part in the various activities of the school, received ab solutely no recognition or honor, however modest, for their time and Avork. Yet on the other hand there have been those who, because of their greater ability, have ‘^hogged” all the honor and responsibility, preventing those less popular and (in some cases) less capable from having a fair chance, contrary to all the principles of this supposedly ^‘democratic” high school. The Point System committee has directed its efforts toward remedy ing this situation. It is the pur pose of this system to recognize those who would otherwise not have been, and to ,prevent others from doing more than their rightful share by restricting the number of points that they may carry. It is up to each of us to co operate in every way possible toward making this system successful, so that we may aid in realizing our ideal—a democratic high school. Assembly Notes Dec. 4.—‘‘The Greatest JSTeed of Today” was the topic of Eev. Peter McIntyre as he pointed out that in spiration rather than employment and jobs was our greatest need. He referred back 3,000 years to Israel desperate and hungry, when Joel didn’t say we need more jobs, but rather told his people that the young men and maidens should be inspired and the old men dream dreams. He also mentioned “Pilgrim’s Progress,” which has been a great inspiration and which was written while the author was imprisoned. As a conclusion, he took a glimpse at the prisons twenty-five years honed that all of usj would have been inspired to such high ideals that we would not be found there. Dec. 11.—“Hear ye brudders and children,” recited Mrs. Fred. Har- TERCENTENARY NOTES A special postage stamp is being considered by Postmaster James A. Farley to commemorate 300 years of American high schools and free public education. High school stamp fans are urging Mr. Parley to make this addition to their col lection. The issue is still pending. Prom a recent announcement, we learn that Scholastic, the national high school weekly, that is used in the American History and English IV classes, will hold its fourth an nual ISTews Examination in April, 1935, as a feature of the high school tercentenary program. Prizes in clude trips to Washington (all ex penses paid), hundreds of books for school, classroom, or club library, and “Spencerian” fountain pens. At least one prize will be awarded in every school. The total value of all ^irizes exceeds $2,500. The February 23rd issue of Scholastic will be devoted almost entirely to the tercentenary. It will be handsomely bound with a stiff durable cover, and will give a com plete pictorial summary of modern high school education. Over 75 pages will be devoted to photographs of representative high schools, class rooms, students, and activities. In observance of the high school tercentenary over 30 high school state debating leagues have adopted the following question as the offi cial topic for 1934-35: Eesolved: That the Federal Government should adopt the policy of equalizing edu cational opportunity throughout the nation by means of annual grants to the secondary education. Hi News Goes to Press Post Graduates, We Do Feel That You Belong! In the open forum column across the page a postgraduate demands a reply concerning his position in the G. H. S. curriculum. A recent interview brought the following information from the office. The State Legislature two years ago ruled that no postgraduate be admitted to a school. Later it was amended to the effect that postgrad uates might attend school provided they were not counted in the attend ance or accepted responsible places within the school organization. The postgraduates are wanted! We do feel that you belong! How ever we do not think that you belong in the offices of tlie school. _ Hon estly now, you’ve had your chance! You’ve been four years in the high schod. Do you really think it fair to take an office away from a student within the school? He hasn’t yet had his chance! You re depriving him of a right to whick he is entitled as a school citzen. If you wish to join a club by all means do so. If you wisli to fee more at home organize within yourselves. Other schools don^^ If you wish to see your ^e IboTTirmers do away with the idea that you’re not wanted, for associating with you in our pleasant. school life makes it just a little bit more rell as she gave two readings in negro dialect. The first, “High Cul ture in Dixie,” was the story of a negro girl who had gone to a semi nary and gotten the high culture, but upon returning home was put ijn her right place by her faithful old mammy. The second was a ser mon by a negro preacher who, be cause he could neither read nor write, got his biblical stories rather mixed. Dec. 13.—Eev. A. J. Smith de lighted the students with a reading of Dickens’ “Christmas Carol.” Mr Smith’s reading was so good that with little imagination one could see old Marley and Scrooge as they conversed with each other. Dec. 19.—“Christmas in Other Lands” was presented by the Fresh man Glee Club under the direction of Miss Brockwell, music instruc tor. Students dressed in native cos tumes representing Germany, Eng land, Poland, France, and Italy, ex plained Christmas in their lands, after which native songs were sung by the glee club. Anni Staps, German girl, featured the visit to Germany with a solo, “Silent Night,” sung in German. Jan. 8.—“A beautiful tree, rising from the ground toward heaven, branches outstretched, standing by its neighbors but standing alone, should be the goal of each of us,” declared Rabbi I. L. Freund, as he compared our life with that of a giant redwood and that of a for eigner. He traced the growth of the Eed woods to climate and showed how our climate was more democratic than that of a foreigner under a militant leader. He requested that we should preserve the climate of America by creating within our serves a will to live and to make our lives beautiful. Dear Editor: Do you realize that there are some Post Graduates in this high school? Did you also know that these Post Graduates are beginning to feel slighted over the way they are being treated? Don’t you think that these Post Graduates who deserve to be on the Honor Roll should have the priv ilege of being on the Honor Roll? There are at least five Post Grad uates who deserved to be on the Honor Roll. Don’t you think they should be recognized? In past years I have noticed that in the first edition of the high school papers the Post Graduates have been listed. This year they didn’t even do that. Don’t you think that was rather thoughtless? When clubs were organized it hap pened that three Post Graduates were elected officers of clubs. ITow they are debating whether or not these Post Graduates should^ con tinue to hold these offices. T3on’t you think they should be allowed to keep them? I do; and I wish that some one would answer this letter and do a little bit of explain ing. Ralph Monk, ’33. Shut off in a world of their own within library doors, the staff worked diligently to give you this paper. Really, the whole work gives me an excellent idea for a short story. You see I’ve been studying the short story recently and there are certain essential elements that make a good one. There must be a setting, a pre eminent character, a problem and its result. Well, we had it. The setting was laid in the li brary, with every department hav ing a separate desk. Counting, placing, typing. All busily work ing toward one end—this issue of Hi ]STe.ws. The time was one day before the deadline. And social background—plenty. Heretofore, Hi I^ews has won recognition from the S. P. A. of good and excel lent. This year the first three pa pers must be turned in before Jan uary 26 and to reach that goal the deadline must be reached. Middleton, .editor-in-chief, was the preemient character. He had the problem. The deadline must be reached I The deadline must be reached! The two opposing forces were time and desire. The desire to reach the deadline—the next day! The lack of time—the shortness of time. Suddenly, it happens. The staff buckles down. Middleton earnestly and rapidly pecks out his sports material at his post—Sports Department, desk of the Editor-in-Chief. Tomorrow the paper goes to press! Coward, editorial genious, makes her typewriter smoke. All editorial material must be typed and counted now. The editorial page must be made up. Tomorrow the paper goes to press! Pearson, all-knowing managing editor, checks off his assignments. Point system story in? Front page planned? Feature material ready? Tomorrow the paper goes to press! JidWards, origiriai niake-up-edi- tor, scratches his head, wipes his glasses. Staring straight up at him is a blank in a headline. Say, folks, what’s a word that means “install?” Headlines, inches, columns, s,paces. Tomorrow the paper goes to press! Best, feature-editor, is looking over her material. Where’s Chit- Chat ? Lonnie, will you please type this feature ? Bizzelle, hurry up with “Bizz’s Buzz.” Tomorrow the paper goes to press! Dot Parker, red-headed reporter, sighs. She still doesn’t have all the exemptions. Make haste, Dot. To morrow the paper goes to press! Scampering around, gathering material, writing last-minute stories are members of the Journalism Class. Saturday becomes a strenuous day. Everything must be typed, proof-read, counted, placed, and probably replaced. Finally the climax—Saturday night, the paper goes to press! From this point, we can foresee the result—You’re holding it in your hand—this issue of Hi ISTews ! (Editorial l^ote: The Post Grad uates have not been neglected by the Hi ISTews staff. The story was as signed for the first and second issues but was not done well enough for publication. For this story see the front page of this issue. The Hi I^EWS regrets the seeming neglect.) Dear Editor: I wish to use this opportunity to express my deep gratitude to all members of the faculty and to those students who have been so good and kind to me while I was disabled on account of accident. Your kindness has been appreciated more than words can express. ■ Sincerely, Mrs. W. P. Middleton. Can You Identify? 1. Geoffrey Ireorge Knox; 2. Har old I. Ickes; 3. G. O. P.; 4. Kath erine F.
