Functional Exams Require Pupils to Express OpinioL “Clear, concise, thinking is about the- greatest gift the schools can offer.” Such is . the opinion of Su perintendent E,ay Armstrong, who is greatly in favor of the functional examinations which are now being given to the GHS students. Functional examinations are made up of questions that make the student think through before an swering and not just recall facts from the book or statements made by the teacher. The questions are also individual and cannot be an swered by looking on another’s pa per, for the students are encour aged to give their own opinions. It is felt that these examinations are easier on the students, for there is no set time to finish. The exami nations are taken so informally that it is almost like a classroom exercise. Tew facts, as such, are called for, and so there is no reason for the stu dents to “cram” the night before. In short, the tension is relieved. FOR COALS OF QUALITY — Call — CROW COAL CO, Inc.

Several rules have been changed this year. Only Juniors and Senior, are eligible for entrance. There will be no contest at the meeting of the State Building and Loan League, but at some convenient time the district winners will meet for an elimination contest. The winner will represent l^orth Caro lina in the JSTational Convention. The district will be the final con test. The Wayne County contest will be held the first week in March, while the district will be in April. To insure competition in the final contest, several counties have been added to this district. The essays, judged on content, co herence, and delivery, are to be not longer than five minutes. Goldsboro has entered the finals twice and each time the entrants were state prize winners. In 1934, Bush- nell Andrews, ’34, placed second and last year Olivia Ferguson,’39, placed third. Edna Herring, Seven Springs, Wayne County, won the district prize in 1935 and 1936, but failed to place in the state. 'Huckleberry Finn" to be Junior Play (Continued from page one) well that no work of fiction can be dramatized without many and im portant changes. “The dramatist has succeeded ad mirably in preserving the local at mosphere of Twain’s work, if noth ing more than the expressions that the different characters use, such as ^madder than an over-worked mule,’ %host fiddlesticks,’ ^you better shouldn’t’.” "GHS HUNTERS" If You Can Call Them That (Continued from page one) That is, with the exception of Billy Hood. Ask Billy where he weiit to kill those 26 quail. And then ask Harry Hollings worth, “the great cathunter,” how to bunt cats. Harry enjoys going ’possum hunting all night and kill ing only a cat.

Campub / 2 'Jka, naai Well, I thought maybe perhaps the romances would be springing forth after the Christmas budding and for once I was right (no, it didn’t snow last night). It seems that the Middleton traits are showing up again. You know the two that go hand in hand— chivalry and cradle-robbing. But tliis time a very definite “knot” has aj)peared in the tangle. ...

Writing of pins—after a tough and really splendid show of resist ance, McClure went down to “Cas- sie.” But Edith, take some advice— keep your chin up for while there’s life, there’s hope. . . . We have three boys in this school who have reverted to nature—or to put it less bluntly—Ross and Harry spend their time at Grantham while we find Mansour all by himself truckin’ it out to Brogden. That Campen gal has Victor Hess on her mind and, take it from me, it’s a big load. ... If anyone should tell that basketball has no value, you might mention the strengthen ing between Ann J. and J.
