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. They are: Ruth Caudill
Connie Johnson, Martha Winslow, Susan Gardner, John Duke, and Herbert
Howell.

_ A compulsory Student Associa
tion fee of 50 cents for next year
was approved in a student Associa
tion meeting May 21.
Subscriptions to the Hi News and
admittance to athletic games are
not included in the compulsory fee.
These items will be on a voluntary
basis.
A compulsory activity ticket
priced at $2.75 was defeated by a
vote of 182 to 80. This activity
ticket would have given students
the privilege of attending all home
athletic events, SA Socials, and en
titled them to 8 issues of the Hi
News at a saving of approximately
$5.00.
The plan for athletics next year
is for each student who attends the
events to pay a student admission
of $.25 plus tax.
The price of the Hi News is ex
pected to remain at $.50 per year or
$.10 a copy.
