The staff of Gohisca, the GHS annual, has left a sinking fund of approximately $380 to be used in the next two years to continue the publication of Gohisca according to an announcement made by Charles Britt, editor-in-chief, at Class Day exercises on June 1. The fund is left with the provision that if the classes of ’47 and ’48 do not continue to publish Gohisca, the money will be given to the journal ism department to equip an up-to- date dark room and purchase a copy desk for an editorial room. Charles Britt and Linwood Bras well, business manager, are mem bers of the permanent committee to handle this fund, which will be deposited in the Branch Banking and Trust Company in Goldsboro until needed. The Senior Class will be reimbursed $134.76 for the en graving plates of the senior pic tures. This profit is due to two factors: the order for the covers of the book was not placed soon enough to ob tain as substantial a cover as was intended; and the business staff did an excellent jab. Anne Stowe, ad vertising manager, and her group of workers sold $973 worth of ads, Linwood and his assistants sold 330 copies of the book. The average cost of the annual for each senior was four dollars ($2.50 for the book and $1.50 for the glossy picture). Picmred above are the SA officers for 1945-46.
