Juniors To Fete
Seniors, Faculty
Tomorrow night, the long-await
ed, eagerly looked - for Junior -
Senior reception will be held in
the Williarh Street Gym at 8:30,
with the Juniors entertaining the
Seniors.
The theme of the reception is un
known to the Seniors, and they
have a great deal of curiosity to
know exactly what it’s going to be.
Some Seniors wonder if it will
have an Arabian setting like the
one used by the class of ’29, when
the whole program fitted in with
the setting. Disagreeing with this,
a few Seniors think it will be a
May garden, such as the one given
in ’34.
However, the Juniors are keep
ing quiet and for all the Seniors
know, the theme may have some
connection with a branch of the
service, like the one given about
the Navy by the class of ’42.
The committee chairmen and ad
visers working on the Junior-
Senior are: Program: Martha Blue
Purser, chairman, Miss Glazener
and Miss Falkener, advisers; In
vitation, Justyne Barbour, chair
man, Miss Hamer, adviser; Re
freshments: Hilda Lilts, chairman.
Miss Dubois, adviser; Music, Eliza
beth Stanley, chairman.
The Board of Elections is pictured above devising the excellent plans that are being
carried out into today’s elections. From left to right, seated around the table are: Margaret
Magill, Ruth Weil, chairman, Miss Ruby Barrett, adviser, Ned Hart, Jack Cobb, and
Virginia Christenbury.-
20 Students Attend Convention;
Excellent Ideas Brought Back
Drive Uncovers
Dental Defects
As a follow-up of the Perfect
Teeth Campaign in March of 1941,
Mrs. Clifton H. Bradford’s first
period sociology class conducted
another dental drive last week.
A total of 285 students were
examined and 181 were found to
have defective teeth and 104 had
perfect teeth.
Mrs. Bradford said; “Each of the
five dentists expressed amazement
at the large number of students
whose teeth were in perfect condi
tion. This was not true of the
Freshman Class, which would seem
a double proof of the fact that last
year’s campaign really bore
results.”
Doctors Who Aided
The five dentists of Goldsboro
who cooperated to make this drive
possible, by giving their time and
services free to the school are;
Dr. J. N. Johnson, Dr. S. D. Poole,
Dr. G. L. Overman, Dr. R. E. Will
iams, and Dr. A. R. Mallard.
In the dental examinations given
I under the Physical Education pro
gram, 46 were found to have
teeth needing attention. When
these figures are included 441
students have been examined out
of the total enrollment of 186
and 227 need treatment.
Junior Rotarians
Elected
Lee Adams was elected as this
week’s Junior Rotarian. Others re
ceiving this honor by balloting in
the Senior homerooms since March
are: Bob Kemp, Billy Charlton,
Bob Powell, Roy Epps, Joe Glass-
cox, and Albert Handley.
“Evaluation of Student Council
Problems” was the theme of the
third annual convention of the
Northeastern District of the North
Carolina State Student Council
Congress held on April 10 in
Kinston tc v/hich GHS ssnt 20
delegates.
In the assembly meeting. Major
W, A. Graham, superintendent of
Kinston schools, welcomed the
delegates, and Mr. J. P. Booth,
principal of Grainger High School,
developed the theme.
Reporters summarized the points
discussed in the three panels in
the general meeting after lunch.
Panels
In the panel on “Evaluation of
Student Morale and Cooperation”
lack of participation in school ac
tivities was attributed to lack of
interest, participation in activities
outside of school, and unfriendli
ness between students and
teachers. Richard Duncan of
Greenville led this panel and Bob
Kemp, a GHS official delegate, was
its reporter.
That the activity ticket has prov
ed rather unsuccessful in other
schools, that in several schools stu
dents pay a compulsory newspaper
fee, and that socials and conces
sions are used to raise money for
Student Councils in many schools
were some of the facts uncovered
in the panel on “Evaluation of
Financial Problems”. Edwin Lee,
another GHS official degate, was
the panel leader, and Gordon
Heath, Kinston, was the reporter.
“Of the five schools represented
in our panel only 2 have some form
of student court,” reported Eliza
beth West, Greenville, on “Evalua
tion of Student Courts,” which was
led by J. A. West of Wilmington.
A constitution for the NDNCSS-
CC was adopted at the business
meeting.
Agnes Morton, Wilmington, pre
sident; Jean Griffin, Rocky Mount,
vice-president; and Margaret West,
Kinston, secretary, were elected
officers for next year’s Congress.
The convention will be held at
New Hanover High School in
Wilmington, as that is the school
of the president. The treasurer
will be a member of the host school

Make It 100 Percent
The Board of Elections has
set for its goal 100 per cent par
ticipation in both registration
and voting in the spring elec
tions this year.
“If every student tliat registers
will vote, the officers elected wiU
feel more like the students’ choice,”
stated Ruth Weil, Board of Election
chairman.
Vote today! Remember there
are places in the world today
where neither adults nor stu
dents have a part in choosing
their leaders. Only 441 GHS
students voted in the SA elec
tions last year out of an enroll
ment of 800. Exercise your
American privilege and vote
today. Make this the best elec
tion yet.

leaders, and adviser of each class.
This is the second year that class
elections have been held in the
Spring. Since 1932 the Australian
ballot system has been used in
GHS. This was begun by Mr. J.
W. Wilson, wlio at that time was
principal of GHS, to accustom the
students to the way that state and
national elections are held. The
Wayne County voting booths were
borrowed for the elections until
1940, when the SA appropriated
money to the Board of Elections to
have four individual booths made.
Bill Nufer, chairman of Board of
Elections in 1939-40, drew the plans
for the booths, and the Building
Trades boys constructed them.
12th Year Plans
Go Into Effect
As GHS progresses toward the
goal of a required twelfth grade.
Seniors planning to return for this
additional year have the choice of
either accepting their diplomas in
June or returning and graduating
with the Class of 1943.
Seniors who elect to refuse their
diplomas and return next year will
be granted full privileges of
Seniors. However, students who
graduate with the class of 1942
and return for advanced work will
have only the privileges of a post
graduate but will not pay a fee.
Post graduates cannot participate
in elections, or any conference
athletics under present regulations.
New courses will be added, and
subjects are under consideration
for this additional year’s work.
If a student graduates this year
and returns and completes the ad
vanced work, he will be presented
a certificate stating that he has
finished other standard courses
since graduation.
Those planning to return will
fill in a form before June request
ing to continue study in GHS for
the entire year. It is to be under
stood that they cannot drop at any
desired time next year. Special
cases will, of cpurse, be taken
under consideration.
