ing kept in reserve for any equip
ment that is requested.
Four educational movies have

program.
Departmental movies will be
shown throughout the year. Plans
are being made to circulate pre

“Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs” was presented to the Stu
dent Body by Ethel Handley and
her marionette company on Octo
ber 6. There was no admission but
contributions were accepted.
The company plans to return to
the same schools next year to pre
sent a different marionette show .
Four students and two teachers
are doing part time work in the
office this year due to the school’s
inability to hire a full time secre
tary, The office staff is composed of
Ann Barbour, Tootsie Powell, Peg
gy Blaylock, Miss Mildred Aycock,
and Mrs. Eliza Cox. The teachers
and students work one hour every
day. Office work is credited to the
students as a regular period.
Mr. Adriah Roelof Schottman,
former mayor and teacher of Bat
avia Java, spoke to the Student
Body, on the Dutch East Indies on
October 3.
Mr. Schottman was attending a
Labor Conference in the United
States and was forced to remain
here on hearing of the Invasion of
Java.
Four hundred and seventy-two
students were enrolled in GHS at
the end of the first month this year
compared with an enrollment of
477 last year.
The Goldsboro Teen-Age Club has'
been reopened and is ready for use
over the week-end.
The club was closed during the
summer because of the polio situa
tion in the state.
The Seniors in Miss Emma Lou
Garner’s and Miss Ida Gordner’s
sociology classes have combined
their efforts to reestablish the Teen-
Age Club in Goldsboro.
These classes are working in co
operation with the executive com
mittee of the Teen-Age Club. Zeno
Spence, president, is adviser to all
activities carried on. Other officers
composing the executive committee
are: Charles Britt, vice president,
Margaret Dumas, secretary; Erskine
Pope, treasurer; and Betty Lou Cox,
chairman of the chaperons commit
tee.
A Halloween dance, at which Zeno
Spence and his GHS Swingsters fur
nished the music, was the initial
project of the club. There was no
charge to the dance, which was pre
sented last Friday night, with Mr.
Clifton Britton, Miss Emma Lou
Garner and Miss Isabelle Williams
as chaperones.
Seniors from the two sociology,
classes formed committees to plan
the dance. Original invitations were
mailed to every high school student.
Temporary committee chairmen for
the dance were: Margaret Dumas,
invitations; Anne Stowe and Jean
Pyatt, outside advertising; Jose
phine Sears, school advertising;
Huldah Powell, decorations; Bar
bara Dillon, refreshments; and Ann
Bizzell, chaperones.
Since the dance a questionnaire
circular has been sent to each
student inquiring whether or not
he attended the dance and if he
were planning to join the Teen-Age
Club. Results have not yet been
tallied.
A schedule for the hours has not
yet been completed. Other activities
such as hiking and dancing lessons
are to be included. The club pro
vides a snack bar, dancing, and
facilities for those who do not dance.
Reasons for the failure of the
club were listed in the sociology
classes as follows: (1) Polio this
summer, (2) Poor attendance, (3)
Lack of entertainment, (4) Lack of
equipment, and (5) No “glamour”.
In order to make the new club a
success the classes are working
to improve these conditions.
