Junior Class. TO MISS BELL The Junior Staff dedicates this issue of the Hi ISTews to Miss Mary Bell, director of the Junior Play, in appreciation of her enthusiastic work in helping the Junior Class produce “It Never Rains.” Miss Bell received her dramatic training at Greensboro College, the Chapel Hill summer school, the Summer Theater in Putney, Ver mont, and has worked with the Little Theater of Winston-Salem in the production of plays. She has also studied under individual teachers. This is the second year Miss Bell has directed the Junior Play, and the Class of Forty feels that it is fortunate to have such a competent director as Miss Bell. From all the Juniors comes a hearty ‘‘Thank You, Miss Bell.” Meditation Someday These things will be gone; The crowded schoolroom. The happy faces. Where will they go? How many Of my present friends Will I carry on To a life that will be Better or worse as I make it? Would that I Opuld see far aheaji To make the tread of my life According to a future need. Oh—if everyone could. But then Where would the joy Of expectation be? 1^0 problems to wrestle with, To fight and win. •e Salute the Juniors! Salute the Junior Class! Since their first days in GHS as freshmen they have given their full support to the school. They have gone into every school activity with enthusiasm and the spirit to work hard and well. As Freshmen they helped set up a Student Association, as Sophomores saw it through its first difficult year. Music, debating, dramatics, athletics, and journalism have felt their influence. They love GHS and try to improve it. They give the school the best in them and cooperate with it in every way possible. IsTow they have worked up to the middle of their Junior year. With the same pep and spirit they have gone into the pro duction of their Junior Play. Out of fifty-odd candi dates a cast of twelve has been chosen. Weeks of hard work on their part, and on the part of the di rector, Miss Bell, and of the ever-willing committees, have gone into the play that will be a highlight in the life of their class. Your Responsibility! Three years ago the Student Association of Golds boro High School was established. One of the aims of this organization was to afford the students the privilege and responsibility of a certain amount of self-government and self-management. All of us have accepted the privilege but only a small number the responsibility. One of the greatest responsibilities of students is the choosing of their leaders, for without capable leaders there cannot be a progressive organization. In last year’s election approximately 375 students registered to vote and about 340 voted. This is less than half the number in the school. How can our officers do their best work when they do not know that they have the students behind them? Let’s not be indifferent; let’s realize the ^ need of full co operation and let’s keep up our high standards. In the coming election take an active part, strive to get the best man in office. Remember that Every Vote Counts. Only wheu Liiey are mn?Hi^t. So, God, Keep the faces happy And guide them along the way. Please, God, bless my friends And help my adversaries too. Marina Andrews, ’40. Hurrah for Committees To the people behind the scenes and to the unsung heroes, we offer our hearty ‘‘thanks!” A play is not only the finished product you see on the stage. It is the out-growth of weeks and weeks of preparation, both by the actors and the—shall we call them—“back-stage” men. A play without the decorative and carefully planned scenery is barren and drab I A play without the characters made up to portray their particular different parts does not make the audience live with the actors on the stage, and it tends to make them see the actors as they are in everyday life. Every property must be in exactly the correct position before the curtain rises, so that the scenery may be changed quickly and noiselessly. Axi attractive ticket giving all needed information has to be made. A play without the hard work of students to publicize it does not at tract the town-folks and a play with out the gay posters tacked on every bulletin board does not send a thrill ing surge down your back and make you look forward to “the day I” A director and a prompter always alert and ready are needed also. And so to all the Junior Play Committees, who have worked so finely to make our play the biggest success ever, we can say only ‘^Thank You!” But we say it with all the feeling and enthusiasm we can pos sibly have! IN MEMORIAM We dedicate this space in memory of the late Reverend George S. Gresham, beloved rector of the Episcopal church, who passed away a few weeks ago. Mr. Gresham was a friend of the GHS students and had often lectured on his travels, having spent several years in China as a teacher. Friend to all and those in need, Mr. Gresham had a kind word and sympathy for everyone. His kindness will always be remem bered by his friends—the GHS stu dents. G^TT b orty, Dear Editor: This matter of conduct slips in getting to the point when they mean nothing to a student who gets one. When this class came out here to get blue slips was a disgrace. I understood the slips were given for being impertinent or disrespectful to a teacher, for cheating and for very bad misbehavior. The donating of so many of those 4x6 pieces of paper may be due to the fact that some of the newer members of the faculty don’t under stand our disciplinary system. J n order that they may not be given so freely, I think there should be an in-between slip or that the teachers should keep the students in after school. I realize that this may lengthen the teachers’ day, but it is unfair for them to leave a black mark on the record of a student t’or petty offenses. Very hopefully, A Junior. On Organized Cheering Dear Students: The Cheering Squad has decided on a new plan for cheering at the baseball games. Henceforth we will open the games with some yells for the home and opposing teams, but wc will not have organized cheering. We will have pep meetings and ask your cooperation. The Cheering Squad. Library Notes Miss Collier has announced the list of books below ready to take out. Many of the books are bio graphies or autobiographies.

A Time for Everything Is she going to be killed? Tensely we sit on the edges of our seats—a shot rings out! And the hero’s father cries out his regrets too late, for the hero died to save her. Then a snicker is heard and the spell is broken. Maybe it seems odd for lis to see our classmates portraying various emotions on the stage, but if we try to enter into the mood of the play, we will be in accord with the players and have no desire to laugh. Tonight let’s be considerate of the actors and actresses portraying emo tional roles and a finer presentation will be our reward. Cast Has Histrionic Past Folks, here’s the information you’ve been looking for, the inside dope on the cast of ‘'It Never Rains.” Do they have a dramatic past? What right have we to expect a fine rerformance tonight ? The vamp of the production, Sarah Dees, who comes from a family of actors, began her dramatic career in 1936, when she was a wow in a “bit-part” in a seventh grade production entitled “An Old Fashioned Singing School.” In 1937, as a freshman, she was in the Christmas pageant. Her big year was last year, when as a sophomore she participated in two of the outstanding assembly programs, having a part in a Biology play and the leading feminine role in “The Deed of Knight Bellawaiii,” a play by Martha Best, which was presented by Miss Kewell’s English Class. Critics j:)raised her for this, her "greatest role until that time. Tonight she will play the joart of l^oreean Sears, which was sought by many actresses. Motherly Roles Ruth Casson, who plays a motherly role in the play tonight, has had a very interesting career. She started very young for in 1932, when in the third grade she played the part of Gretel in “Hansel and Gretel.” xifter four inactive years she took part in the seventh grade play “An Old Fashioned Singing School.” Her successful comeback has opened the way for many high school roles : Maria in “The ISTecklace,” the title role in “Redhead School Marm,” and a leading role, that of a mother, in the Masque and Whig production “Her First Party Dress. Tonight she will be Mabel Rogers, an understanding mother. “Sonny” Boney has had a brilliant career, which began in 1929 when he played a part in “Dr. Dolittle.” He followed this in 1931 with a part in “The Mammoth Circus.” Since he has been quite active in dramatics since he entered high school, playing Theodore Roosevelt in a Boy Scout program, the messenger ..in “The Deed of Knight Bellawain,” Laurie in thd Students Guild play “Little Women,” a Avise man in the Sophomore Christmas pageant and Fred in “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens. Tonight he will play one of the most important roles of his career, Henry Rogers in “It N'ever Rains.” Received Honors A girl that has received many honors for her work behind the footlights is Helen Cox. Some of the productions she took part in during her early dra matic life are: “The Mammoth Circus” and “The Boston Tea Party.” Her high school roles have consisted of an angel in the Sophomore Christmas pageant, and ^Lady in the “Court of King Arthur.” Her most' re'ceht portrayalTas been that of Jean in the Masque and Whig production “Beppo Farcetto.” That she has talent is shown by the fact that she was chosen for one of the twelve speaking parts in “It J^ever Rains.” Ike Manly has taken part in many outstanding productions which include “In Dixon’s Kitchen” and “Elmer.” He has played: the title role in “The Deed of Knight Bellawain,” Joseph in the Sophomore Christmas pageant, the rider in “Ceasar’s Fight with Gauls,” “Doc” Thompson in “The Great Choice,” and the title role in “Beppo Farcetto.” Tonight he will portray a teen-aged college boy. Versatile Actress One of the most versatile actresses of the cast is Carrie Helen Best. She has played many roles. In elementary school she took part in “Snow White and Rose Red,” “Cinderella” and “Boston Tea Party.” Since she has been in high school her greatest role has been “Ca’line,” which was presented by her English class last fall. She played a role that was very hard to handle and she did it very well. She will play Clara Donovan, a mother in to night’s play. One who has risen to fame overnight is Noah Bass. Though he started a little late in his school life he has handled many important roles since he has been in high school which include: King Arthur in “The Court of King Arthur.” He will portray a determined father tonight. Contrary to the policy of most actresses Helen Kannon began her career by playing major roles. While she attended the Catholic school she played Gretel in “Hansel and Gretel,” Betsy Ross in “George Washington,” the title role in “Joan of Arc.” Last year, her sophomore year in high school, she por trayed the angel in the Sophomore Christmas pageant. A colored servant girl will be the part played by her in “It Never Rains.” Mildred Lee has had a very interesting career. Parts that she played in elementary school were: Betsy Ross in “George Washington,” Mother Rabbit in “Peter Rabbit,” clown in “The Mammoth Circus,” a Boston woman in “Boston Tea Party.” Roles played by her since she entered high school include: an angel in the Sophomore Christmas pageant, the jester in “The Court of King Arthur.” ' Tonight she will play a peppy college girl. New-comer Another new-comer to the stage is Ann Daniels. She didn’t participate in dramatics until she entered high school but she became a favored actress in a very short time. Roles that she has handled include: an angel in a freshman Christmas pageant and (Please turn to page five)
