Goodbye —
And must we part?^
Well, if we must, we ynust—and in that case
The less said the better.
—Sheridan, The Critic.
— and Thank You
Spring-cleaning has just hit our journalism desk!
It’s got to be a thorough cleaning, too, ’cause we’ve
got to get all our old copy out of the way and leave
things spicK and span for next year’s editor.
It’s funny how so much stuff can accumulate in a
time as short as these nine months have been. All
those old copies of the Hi News, that bulging High
lights scrapbook and the picture history are witnesses
to the fact that the staff has tried to report all the
news of the school accurately, and to aid all projects
that have been undertaken.
Next year’s editor may put his feet under the desk
with a great many more difficulties facing him than
we had. It may be necessary to cut down on the size
and appearance of the Hi News. Conditions may even
make it impossible to have a Hi News, either because
there will be no paper available or because the cost
will be too great.
In any case, the staff can still play a big part in
the Ufe of the school. It can act as a publicity agent
for the SA and its activities by sponsoring assembly
programs for drives, by writing bulletin announce
ments, by publishing small mimeographed papers,
and it can act as the school’s publicity agent for the
News Argus. It can also continue the picture history
of the school.
May we wish next year’s staff success and pros
perity. Working on the Hi News has been a pleasant
job for us, full of excitement and opportunity to learn.
We hope it will prove the same to staffs that follow
us.
To our journalism desk and the things its stood
for, to our staff and adviser, and to the student body
and faculty, who have been so cooperative, we say,
“Goodbye and thank you.”
Carolyn Hollingsworth and Effie Ruth Maxwell,
Co-editors.
Our Suggestions for a War-Time Summer!
“Our nation needs the service of each one of us,”
said Superintendent Ray Armstrong when he talked
on May 25 to students who are sixteen and a-half
.or over.
of the older boys and girls will have a* chance
to work at the new air base this summer. They will
be making a real contribution. But there are real
contributions that all of us can make. We can get
jobs as clerks or delivery boys in local stores. We
can mow lawns and tend gardens and other jobs.
And we can put what we earn into war stamps!
The girls can use the time to good advantage in
that womanly art, sewing. This fall you won’t be
able to buy the things that you could last year.
Make some for yourself or work over some of last
year’s dresses. Anyone with nimble fingers and a
good pattern can do it.
These coming hot days are perfect for reading.
The public library has many fine books on current
affairs and on many fields of interest. Be well in
formed—you’ll understand what’s going on about
you far better!
These are our suggestions for a war-time summer.
Not all work and no play—Goldsboro has nearby
lakes for swimming and sunning, and you can do
almost any of the things here that you could any
where else.
But is there any excuse for anybody to be lazy
this summer?
Let’s Sacrifice for Victory
I believe that every student in GHS is willing to
give up every non-essential thing that he has by
rationing for the guarantee of an Allied victory,
which can only be gained through sacrifice.
Every student in GHS realizes the need for ration
ing and knows what the material is used for. I am
willing to give up every ounce of sugar if it can be
used in the manufacturing of munitions or for some
soldier in the field. If that gas that I planned to burn
riding around can be used in a tank or in a bomber,
I am perfectly willing to give it up.
I believe that every student in GHS feels this way
about rationing and that they are willing to sacrifice
for victory!
—Linwood Harrell, ’42.
We Honor
Richard Winstead Bord,en
Richard Winstead Borden, or
“Winnie” as he likes to be called,
was born on Octo
ber 25, 1925, here
in Goldsboro—it’s
a wonderful place,
isn’t it, “Winnie”?
Last year Dick
was on the S A
Nominating Com
mittee, and be
cause of his good
work, was made
chairman of the committee this
year. And the students his com
mittee nominated for incoming SA
officers were certainly representa
tive of our school—in the finest
sense of the word. He worked with
the decorations for the Junior-
Senior in his Junior year, and help
ed with the ticket sales for “Three-
Cornered Moon.” During his fresh
man and sophomore years, Dick
was president and treasurer of his
Latin class.
He’s definitely woman-shy (not
even Lana Turner makes his heart
do a flip-flop). His two favorite
actors are Spencer Tracy and Lewis
Stone. He thinks Baby Snooks is
“cute;” his favorite food is barbe
cue; and his special likes are nature,
dogs, scouting, and staying at Tus-
carora.
The ambition of our Senior honor-
ee is to become a typical country
doctor. And we think you’ll be
more than a credit to your pro
fession, “Winnie!”
Virginia Mae Christenbury
If you had gone into the typing
room any day after school during
elections, y.o u
would probably
have seen our
honoree making
stencils for the
election bulletins
and ballots.
Yes, Virginia
Christenbury has
worked on the
Board of Elec
tions for the past year, and she has
really worked!
Virginia was born in Columbia
S. C., in 1925, and lived there two
or three years. Then she moved to
Rocky Mount, where she lived for
seven years. From Rocky Mount
she moved to Goldsboro and has
lived here ever since.
Besides her work on the Board of
Elections, Virginia has been presi
dent and secretary of many of her
classes and is homeroom library
representative now.
Virginia has some definite likes
but she doesn’t dislike anything
particularly. For instance, she loves
chocolate cake and banana pudding
But who doesn’t?! She also lists
among her likes the “Hit Parade
Lana Turner and Gary Cooper, and
“Why Doesn’t Anything Happen?
It seems as if plenty has already
happened, and if her ambition to be
a stenographer is fulfilled, Virginia
will have an eventful life.
Here’s wishing you the best of
luck, Virginia!
These Are Our Choice
The members of the Journalism
Class have selected by vote the six
assemblies that they think have
been most enjoyed this year. They
are listed below in the order of
their popularity.
1. Hellzapoppin’ . . . the assembly
where everybody went crazy. Of
course, the journalism class ;gtays
that way, so maybe that’s one
reason they liked it so much.
2. Junior Play publicity . . . the
whole series of assemblies was in
cluded in this . . .. Miss Ipock’s
geometry class, the preview scenes
from the play, the Black-Face Darl
ings, an’ all!
3. General Hershey’s speech . . .
not just because he’s so prominent
in the news of today, but because
of his attractive personality and
his optimistic outlook for youth.
4. Campaign speeches . . . every
body likes good-humored rivalry.
We had some true showmen among
our candidates, all right!
5. The Sing . . . when we all sang
the songs flashed on the screen and
jumped to the rhythm of P. Stan
ley’s drumming.
6. Freshman Orientation ... a
long time ago, but still full of funny
memories! We’ll bet some of the
Freshmen will never forget it!
Well, there they are. We’ve had
many other fine programs this
year but these are our choice. What
d’you think?
e.o V ^
Wulp, hyar 01 yam—huh, huh,
huh! I don’t have many more but
tons left to bust this issue; in
f^rct. I’ve ^ot so many safety pins
in my clothes now that the govern
ment is starting investigation on
me in regard to the hoarding of
vital steel supplies! However, even
my last buttons are not too precious
to sacrifice for the sake of Dear 01
GHS in this, the last column of the
year.
WE’RE BUSTIN’
FOR—
OUR BUTTONS
Our Heartfelt Sympathies
Not only the Senior Class, but
the whole student body truly re
grets that two of the senior boys
will have to miss the excitement of
these last few days. To D. B. Burns,
injured here in the school building,
and Warren Wiggins, hurt while
working, we want to say, “We miss
you, fellas, and hope you’ll be up
and around soon!”
—a grand year with lots done.
Almost all of us have been un
usually energetic since September,
and there’re plenty of good things
to remember.
—two especially appreciated cour
tesies made by the Juniors to the
Seniors ... a Junior-Senior which
showed a lot of thoughtful plan
ning and good, hard work, and the
song a group of them sang at Class
Day. From the Seniors to the Jun
iors . . . thanks a lot!
—Career Week ... an innovation
in GHS, Career Week was certainly
a success! Many students profited
from the work put into it by the
library staff and Miss Bayne’s D. E.
group. Here’s hoping it becomes a
regular feature of the school year!
A More Cheerful Note
The staff, the faculty, and the
whole student body, are glad to
have Miss Taylor back with us
again after her long illness. Maybe
absence does make the heart grow
even fonder—it sure is nice to see
her around school these days.
Sleepy River
Sleepy river, slowly moving, slowly disappearing
Into far-off lands.
Carry your passengers of floating logs and leaves.
Deposit them on far-off shores.
Oh, sleepy river, slowly moving, slowly disappearing;
Like life.
Yours is a one-way voyage.
—Robert Roundtree, ’41;
Mrs. W. J. White, teacher.
Death
Death to me
Is like logs floating out of sight—
Flowers in vases with tired, drooping faces—
Autumn leaves falling . . .
Snow falls, lingers, and then melts away.
Then it seems
An eternity of tears—
A broken windowpane letting in cold rain ...
Fire gleams and simmers.
Then burns out like burnt souls.
—Marian Hinkle, ’42;
Mrs. W. J. White, teacher.
Afternoon Reverie
In the stillness of late afternoon.
While the cheerful sun still shines
The meadow is a place of reverence.
With its lovely trees and vines.
The gentle whistle of a “Bob White”
Calling to his mate from on high
Is answered by a returning call.
The approach of dusk is nigh.
—Martha Zealy, ’42;
Mrs. W. J. White, teacher.
The Spring-Child
The spring-child is wild and lovely.
She dances through the thin, sweet mist
Singing an eerie, haunting, tuneless little song.
And leaves a trail
Of bright, weird laughter
As she vanishes down the hill.
—Martha Rosenthal, ’43;
Mrs. C. H. Bradford, teacher.
The Clock on Center Street
The clock still stands there.
Aged,
Faithful.
Its new face shines lustrously
Covering the wrinkles of a full life.
It binds yesterday with today; today with
tomorrow.
Its hours are long; its wages naught.
It sees everything; keeps its silence
Eloquently.
—Edwin Lee, ’42;
Mrs. W. J. White, teacher.
