Supplement Fate
Will Be Settled
In June Election
NEW REGISTRATION REQUIRED
Superintendenf Addresses Student
Assembly After It Makes Plans
to Help Carry Election;
to Use Motor Corps
Sleeping Beauty Goldsboro lias
indeed awakened to find lier king
dom of schools in a desperate situa
tion and has decided to spell the
fate of her educational opportun
ities on June 22, by accepting of
refusing the hand of Prince Supple
ment.
The stage is set for action. By
the approval of the Board of Com
missioners registration books will
open on May 25, and continue open
for the next two Saturdays, June 1,
and June 8 for the special supple
ment election.
There are only two conditions that
the students are asking to be rem
edied by this supplement. They are
the short term, consisting of eight
months, and the crowded school
rooms, which teachers state, afford
absolutely no individual attention.
Mr. Armstrong Speaks
At a meeting of the student body
on May 7, Mr. Ray Armstrong, su
perintendent, addressed the assem
bly. Two assistant chairmen, Pow
ell Bland and Thomas Pearson, were
chosen, a Student Motor Corps com
mittee appointed, and Lonnie Wig
gins given charge of distributing the
stickers.
After expressing his appreciation
of the students’ interest in this
movement, Mr. Armstrong showed
by concrete examples the distinct
difference between material rights
and human rights.
"A Human Right"
“The question under discussion is
a human right,” he continued. “A
tremendous debt, which many be
lieve will never be paid, has been
created upon city, county, state,
and nation. Since this is left to be
paid by you, every opportunity
should be afforded you to prepare
yourself.”
The splendid attitude of the Sen
iors in supporting the supplement
was commended by the Superintend
ent.
He also stressed the necessity of
getting the people to register and
to vote.
Helms Presides
Richard Helms presided and
Virginia Ginn acted as secretary at
this meeting. After the chairman
showed explicitly that an assistant
chairman was necessary, the fol
lowing nominations were made,
Thomas Pearson, Powell Bland,
Maurice Edwards, and l^orwood
Middleton. The latter two regretted
that they would not have sufficient
time to give to this office. Votes
cast for Thomas and Powell were so
close that both were named.
Motor Corps
Chairman of the Student Motor
Corps whose function is to bring
people to register and to vote is
Hal Armentrout. On his commit
tee are Powell Bland, John Gay
Britt, incoming seniors, Maurice
Edwards and Billy Raney, ’35 grad
uates. '
Lormie Wiggins was placed in
charge of the stickers which state
“Vote for 9 Months’ School” to be
glued on automobiles.
This students’ demand for a 9
months school has been gradually
growing since 1933 when the 8
montl'^ term was introduced. When
G. H lost its membership in the
Soutl n Association of Accredited

Quill and Scroll Selections
James Wharton, a senior, and
Marie Ellis, a post graduate, have
been recommended for the Quill

honorary society for high school
journalists. Kecommendations were
made due to superior work in busi
ness management, writing, or edit
ing. Provided the recommendations

mencement night.

splendid business management. He

Campbell College Minister Speaks
on "Playing the Game"
“Don’t listen to the crepe hang
ers who tell you that you live in a
sorry day and that life is not worth
living,” said Rev. C. B. Howard,
pastor of Campbell College, in the
Baccalaureate Sermon, May 10.
The text of his sermon was 2
Timothy 2: 5 and his topic, “Play
ing the Game.” He likened the busi
ness of living a life to the playing
of a game: “There are two teams,
the team of light and truth, and the
team of darkness and error. There
are two captains, Captain Jesus and
Captain Satan. You cannot be
neutral; you are on one team or the
other, and you have to play the game
whether you like it or not. Suicide
is the only way to resign from the
game.”
Rev. Howard gave four rules to
be followed in the game of life: play
hard, play fair, be happy, and obey
the Captain’s orders.
The invocation was pronounced
by Eugene Roberts and the benedic
tion by Rabbi Iser L. Ereund.
Two numbers were rendered by
the Glee Club, “Lovely Appear,”
and “The Heavens Resound.”
Class of 1935 Organizes
Into Alumni Association
One hundred and five seniors,
homesick before they even leave
G. H. S., organized into a perma
nent alumni association on their
Senior Picnic, Tuesday, May 7, at
Camp Tuscarora.
Officers of the present Senior
Class were installed in the alumni
organization with the addition of
a second vice president. All officers
are elected for one year with the
exception of the secretary, who will
hold a permanent job.
Officers are Annie Elizabeth
Coward, president; Maurice Ed
wards, first vice president; Archie
Monk, second vice president; James
Davis, secretary; and Billy Raney,
treasurer.
The outgoing seniors will meet
every year for some form of enter
tainment such as a dance, picnic, or
banquet, and the members will pay
yearly dues.
History, Last Will and Testament,
and Prophecy Are Delivered
In true dramatic fashion, the Sen
ior Class presented in a gala cere
mony its annual Class Day Exer
cises Thursday morning at 10:30.
The History of the Class of ’35
was presented in a classroom with
the brilliant and informed teacher,
Thomas Pearson, leading his class
in a discussion of the four great
years which have marked the epi
sode of the high school of the Class
of ’35. Among his star pupils were
John William Ward, Clyde Jr.
Evans, and Robert Michael Lane
The next scene took us away from
the cheery schoolroom into a grue
some hospital ward where Mr. Pres
ent Class of ’35, played by James
Evans Davis, lay dying. His law
yer, Willis Arthur Denmark, in a
speculating David Harum fashion
strutted with “peacock” pride as
he drew up the will of the suffer
ing and sinking man. N'urse Mar
garet Griffin Denmark, a deft and
capable soul, informed the audience
that the “succumber” was in a
grave condition. Relatives; a fresh
man, Jabie Heyward, a sophomore,
Marshall McDowell, a junior, John
Gay Britt, and Miss Ipock hovered
over the bed, reminding the on
lookers of Mama DeStross clamor
ing over the riches.
The Class Gossip was efficiently
handled by the meeting of a Girls’
Club. This chattering, gossipy
group of girls in finding a detective’s
report, “Scene in the Dark,” about
their own friends was quite elated.
The girls making up the group were:
Anna Best, Frances Powell, Sara
Spruill, Katherine Kalmar, I^ellie

"HI NEWS" IS AIMING
FOR SUPERIOR RATING
IN WORK NEXT YEAR
Powell Bland Will Lead Editorial
Staff and Billy Moye,
Business
That the Goldsboro Hi ISTews
will aim for a I^SPA All-American
Honor rating during the incoming
year was the unanimous decision of
the class upon being informed by
Miss Ida Gordner, sponsor, that the
rating for this year was excellence,
lacking only 130 points of All-
American.
Eor the first time in six years
G. H. S. offers to students first and
second year Journalism.
P owell Bland, editor-in-chief,
G. T. Holloman, advertising man
ager, and Billy Moye, business man
ager, have been selected to lead the
advanced group with the remainder
of the offices to be filled at the be^
ginning of the school year. With
about 20. students this class is ex
pected to have the sole responsibil
ity of editing the paper regularly
and aiding a grammar school pub
lication. Miss Gordner hopes to or
ganize this class as a real news
paper staff, the classroom taking on
the atmosphere of a busy newspaper
office.
Tinder the supervision of James
Wharton, business manager, the Hi
N'ews has kept out of the red and
every issue has been paid.
Eifty students have assisted in
the publication of the paper this
year, 38 in the class, 12 on the staff,
making this the largest number in
the history of the Hi I^ews. The
class has shouldered the greater re
sponsibility in editing the paper.
An outstanding feature of the class
is that 18 sophomores took the
course. Heretofore there has never
been more than one sophomore tak
ing Journalism.
The 8. 0. 8., a paper written and
edited by the sophomores of the
class, was well received, the issue
of 250 being sold completely out.
The Hi I^ews has made a definite
contribution to the Supplement
drive, emphasizing the supplement
in the last three issues.
