PA6E FdUft GOLDSBORO HI NEWS April 23, 1942 Defense Board Members Say: Waste Paper: Well, there seems to be one main thing wrong with the waste paper collection, Helen Denning says, and that is that stu dents get the boxes mixed up with trash cans. Now, I ask you, can’t you put those notes from your boy friend (?) (can’t ya, Carolyn?) in the box without wadding them up!! Junior Red Cross: Fanny Lou Parker, chairman, said that the buttons really poured in during the last drive they sponsored. Maybe that is why the buttons are off of Ruth Minton’s green jumper. Maybe! Junior Recreation Coinyiiittee. Betty Weil, chairman, and her com mittee really had a thrill last week while cleaning up the Soldier’s Center. Three Marines were ac tually present in the place while the girls worked. Waste Stamps: When Betty Rea ves was asking why all students didn’t bring their stamps, some con fessed that their letter stamps were upside down and they just couldn’t remove them. Cut it out, Kids, bring those stamps! Defense Stamps: Gertrude has some good advice for all students! Just think that if you buy a defense bond now, how handy that money will come for your family in 1952. We hope! And remember—it takes only 75 quarter stamps to buy a $18.75 bond. Exercise?? Why was my much-needed Satur day morning sleep interrupted to get scratches, a terrible headache, bruised feet, ruined fingernails, torn clothes, straight hair, and an upset stomach? It all began on April 4. . ^ f Amidst the quiet peacefulness ot a home at slumber on a Saturday morning, came the shrill ringing of a telephone. A sleepy O.K. was said and thus began that eventful day of misery. What’s a hike? A hike, as de fined in MacMillan’s Modern Dic tionary, is a tramp for pleasure, or an extended walk for enjoyment— (I’m going to revise the diction ary!) It all started out well. The tramp or walk to Chicken Hill Cliff was swell. Anyway, who suggested walking back in the creek? The wading was fine, but have you ever worn wet clothes for two hours in early spring? If you haven’t, just try faUing in a hole in the creek. The least you’ll get away with is an awful head cold. As for the scratches and bruised feet, they can be explained by the weeds, briers, and sticks in the overgrown path. The torn clothes, ruined fin gernails, and straight hair came from the mid-day dip in the creek. The upset stomach came from eat ing three slices of fruit cake, one half box of cookies, one ham sand wich (with mustard), three pieces of dirt fried potatoes, one-half sour pickle, one and one-half hot pepsi, and one piece of burnt hamburger. There’s nothing like a nice hike for exercise! —D. P. and C. H. ’42. 12th Year Plans (Continued from Page 1) and returning next year will take part in all graduating exercises, but students refusing their diplo mas will participate only in activi ties up to graduating exercises. These rules have been set up by the State Board of Education.

OK, boys, ya better put on your prettiest smile and comb those beautiful curly “peroxided” locks and start—flirting!! On May 8 the girls are turning the tables on you at the last SA social. Les filles will ask the boys for dates, get their cars (optional), and foot the bills. If you students want to file a complaint, just see the Social Com mittee. It was all decided in a recent meeting, which followed a discussion led by senior girls in SA Council. Any way fellows, the girls like it. They can at last ask their “heart throb” for a date, with a good excuse. Jenkin's Cash Grocery 805 EAST WALNUT ST. GOLDSBORO, N. C.

The larger majority eat too little fruit and fresh vegetables. One- fourth of the group does not drink enough milk, but drinks too many soft drinks and eats too many sweets between meals. About one- half of the group eats between meals. The charts were checked to see if students are eating the proper food, the sufficient quantity, and if the students are getting the needed calories. The individual charts were checked and comments were made on them. The charts have been returned to the students in order to see their deficiencies and will later be returned to the home economics students. This work was done by Miss Miriam Koch’s second-period sec ond-year students. AROUND ABOUT The Junior class took in $254.23 at its play, “Spring Fever,” and cleared approximately $165 on the production.
