Elections Need Life
As the close of the school year approaches,
we begin to think more and more about the
nearing class elections.
The nominating committee, usually consist
ing of the outgoing officers, nominates one
person* for each office. Any other members of
tne class wishing to do so, may take out a pe
tition nominatiiig any other students they wish.
Then follows the campaign speeches and the
voting,
Regretably, there is not as much partici
pation in class elections as there should be.
bon.e students take no interest whatsoever in
wIk) the leaders of their class will be. Then,
some who do vote do not take into considera
tion the ability of each person to hold the of
fice for which he or she is running. They vote
only for their particular friends, and in this way
the best are not always elected.
So, fellow students, when you go to the
polls this time to cast your votes, consider each
candidate’s q^ualifications carefully, and vote
only for the best.

Report Cards Are Coming
Those little white cards will be given to
you just one more time this year. You are re
sponsible for the things that appear on them.
If you have done your best it will be shown
there. If you have just slipped by, then that
will be on there, too. If those resolutions you
made about studying and so forth at the begin
ning of the year were just kind of half way
kept, it will show up on that card.
So no matter what you’ve done before, do
better now. Some day the records that are on
those cards will either help you or hinder you
from doing something you wish to do.
Give it some thought and do some work
now. It will be worth the time you spend.

Care For Books
Our text books are the most important
part 01 our school work. After all, how much
could we do without themV' therefore, we
should^ laKe care not to harm them in different
ways; tor example, niarKing in them, turning
down pages, lilliiig them witn a lot or papers,
pencils, ana oiher ihings of that kind, duu the
wuy ti.ey are tnrown around, lost, or left any
jjiuce, lb UiC real harm.
Let us waKe up to these facts. 'I he books
are not our property. \Ve are only uuir'owmg
[hem lor a scnool year. iNext >ear wc wili pass
oil 10 other dooks and leave these Demiia to
iiiose wiio follow us. it is only fair and loyai
to ourselves as well as to others, to take good
care of them.

Girls Need Sports
Are you conscious of the fact that girls of
GHS need a sports program? Do you know
that girls’ sports in other towns are of great
importance?
How much work will it require?
Do you think that a girls’ sport club would
help to develop interest in sports?
Girls in GHS need a sports program for
three reasons: Sports help one get the exer
cise needed, sports serve as a form of amuse
ment to those who don’t participate, and sport:
1-0
their spare time.
Girls could play other teams just as our
boys do.
We know that some girls in GHS are in
terested in having a sports program. We
think girls’ sports would help to develop the
interest in sports throughout the school and
that it would be a grand project for all girls.
ARC
Is This Proper?
Mrs. Eleanor Yelverton should be praised
for her wonderful work in providing a lunch
for the students every day this year.
The lunches have not always pleased every
one, but Mrs. Yelverton has served well-balanc
ed lunches, which would cost anywhere from
35c up elsewhere.
We are proud of your fine work, Mrs. Yel
verton. Keep it up!

Keep Grounds Clean.
The campus of GHS is very lovely this
spring. It could be very easily turned to ugli
ness by^ students dropping paper and other
kinds of trash on the grounds.
All students like to feel proud of their
school' campus when visitors come to visit the
school.
It is up to the individual student to see
that no trash is dropped on the grounds. If all
students follow this suggestion, GHS will have
a campus to be proud of.
D. L.J.
Coach Gets Tough
Next year it’s going to be different.
Next year if Coach Norris Jeffrey catches
one of his athletes smoking it costs him exactly
10 laps round the school track. If he is caught
a second time it’s 20 laps around the track and
he doesn’t win a letter for the sport in which he
is participating.
If by any chance the same thing happens a
third time, that’s all for that young man. He
is automatically off the team for good.
These rules will hold good for any other
offenses such as (1) staying out after 10:30 at
night except Friday or Saturday, (2) not at
tending practice regularly, (3) failing to fol
low directions or any other serious offense.

Sunday Program Needed
“We want something to do on Sunday”.
That is the most popular remark in Goldsboro
nowadays. You find some people spending the
day in the movies; others just loaf; if you
have any gort of. transportation it takes y£*ur
life’s earnings to keep it up. In Goldsboro we
have no recreation at all, so there is a tendency
to mix up a little trouble, which does not help
anyone. The young people of Goldsboro
would like something to do on Sundays. For
example, softball, badminton, ping-pong, bas
ketball, or anything to amuse \Jhemselves with.
If anyone is interested or has any ideas,
please let it be known.
C. C.
How About Grades?
The one little matter that has been “getting
on my mind” is the act of taking points off
grades for deportment. People have asked me
what the place marked deportment on the re
port card was for. I would like to know also.
When people look over the grades of students
who have had 15 points taken off the quarterly
grade for deportment, they don’t know it and
get a pretty bad impression and cannot really
tell the quality of the person’s work.
I again ask you: What are the places
marked deportment for? Many students would
like to know.

Where Is Recreation Room?
What’s happened to the recreation room?
Why isn’t it opened to the students during
lunch period?
We think we should all have a recreation
room for use at lunch periods. Many of us
liked this room to go into and dance, or just
listen to popular records. It was a good place
to talk and have fun. This room caused lots of
us not to be roaming the halls during lunch
and disturbing classes.
As students, we think it would be a good
thing if the recreation room were reopened.
M. P.
Deserved Praise
We are only expressing an opinion, but
we think a few others will agree with us.
Our subject is. the young ladies of GHS
combing their hair in the lunch room. We
have seen this happen a number of times and
we are sure that if they would only stop and
think, they would realize what a bad habit it
really is.
So girls, please keep your combs put away
in the lunch room t>r any other public place, be
cause we don’t think Emily Post would call that
good etiquette.

JONQUILS
It is now the time of year for the
jonquils to bloom,
All the year they have been hidden
in their gloom;
But now it’s springtime and out
pop their heads.
I’ve never seen anything as lovely
as jonquil beds.
Jonquils here and jonquils there.
They look like little children with
golden hair;
Beneath the trees and along the
stream
Are the prettiest jonquils I’ve ever
seen. —Mary Rachel Johnson
Cool streams, and sometimes ten
der!
Music reminds me of these things
and makes me wonder
About deep secrets, 'all untold,
Secrets I’d never tell a soul.
Music puts me into such a trance
That to anyone addressing me I
give not a g*lance;
But only thiiik’jyjJ^.-'er events,
heart pi'&-
sents. —Ann Johnson
SUBJECTS
In Industrial Arts I saw on wood
Just as every good boy should;
In Math I cover up my book
Just so Hubert cannot look.
—Robert Fleming
WISHING
When ever I’m alone at night,
I can always wish whatever I
might;
Sometimes I’m a lady of an olden
day,
When the women wore hoops, and
were always gay.
But then again I’m a little fish,
The queen of the ocean who al
ways gets her wish.
Sometimes I’m a bird that flies
round about,
I fly so high I perch on ev6ry
cloud.
But as the night grows dark, and
the moon looks tall,
Maybe I’d rather be myself after
all. —Alice King
I like my teachers very much,
And think them awful sweet and
such,
But I can’t seem to see
Why they^try to make me be
A dunce; and I detest
To get a “five” on every test.
I’d climb the highest mountain
peak.
I’d swim the river to its smallest
creek
If I could get a “one” so that
My Pop wouldn’t think I’m such a
brat. —Lois Basden

Girl Has
Her Dream
Of School
(by Mary Lib Fisher)
Five minutes late! ,
Heck!
That happens'to -me so often.
Well, I rounded the corner to the
office,/put on brakes and slid in.
Ah! that bevy of lovely girls so
very'Streamlined (in figures, stu
pid) that met me. A blonde popped
up and said, “Something for you?”
I said, “Yes, b,ut you can’t give
t to me. Nobody can, but Mr. Twi-
ford. “Well, he’s in conference
right now but will be out directly,”
said the lovely.
I waited for five minutes stand
ing on my left foot, the next ten
minutes I stood on my right foot.
Finally I got so tired that I had to
stand on both feet. About the time
I was ready to drop, the princi
pal walked out. I must have drop
ped or something for that wasn’t
Mr. Twiford, not that good-looking
young man that faced me and be
sides Mr. Twiford isn’t but half
that tall and that young man that
stood face to face with me was
oh so tall, dark, and handsome, and
resembled Gregory Peck so much.
I said, “My name is Mary Lib and
I’m late because I was sleepy this
morning and I want you to give
me an admit slip.” Below you will
find an exact copy of my admit
slip.

Ah, so it was Mr. Peck! Well, I
finally managed to get out of the
office, they iiadn’t started typing,
yet, but anyhow who could type
feeling as dizy as I did? So I loaf
ed in the hall and drank some wa
ter and looked in the locket for my
typing paper.aFinatly I went in and
gosh, Van Johnson was standing
in front of the room! The floor op
ened up suddenly and I fell in that
wide open space. Ivmgine that!
We had no typing lesson that
day. Ten-thirty and time to go—
I had to have some water so I stag
gered out and got some and went
into room 12. Betty Grable!! Good
ness, what had happened? Short
hand was hard that day ’cause I
couldn’t keep my eyes on the right
curves.
Suddenly I heard, “Mary Lib,”
who was Anthony Wayne?”
As you might know I’d been day
dreaming in history class. Some
time,. somewhere, some-day, my
dreams may come true but I sho
ain’t gonna hold my breath until
they do!

ly 18, 1929, and has lived in
Goldsboro all her life.
She served on the cafeteria com
mittee for two years and is now a

rate tops with her in the movie

“Gerty” has a great desire to go
to Duke University but has not
yet chosen the field of work which
she wished to enter. We know
that no matter what vocation she
chooses, she will make a success.
So here’s wishing you loads of
luck, “Gerty”.

Much to your dear hearts’ de
light I returned to the dear old in
stitution just-in time to make the
deadline for this issue.
As. I ' was sitting behind my
trusty typewriter accumulating'
some news items, my good friend,
J. C.; told me that John (Van
Johnson) Duke would appreciate
it if his public - (Dorothy Craw
ford) would kindly refrain from'
seeking conversation via telephone
with the “grin”.
I noticed Evelyn B. and Charles:
E. walking along the well worn
road to school- the other day. It
looked as though the walk was
awful crowded, but for the life of
me I couldn’t see any others on
the little strip of cement.
Holding the local record for en
durance are still Carlton and Peg
gy. The runners-up. La Verne and
Frank, seem to have met a little
obstacle.
Not much news has arisen re- -
cently from the Eason-Griffin
case.
At this point I beg of you to
pause a moment.
Time marches on.
Thank you, very much.
Leah L. is very much upset be
cause “Cotton”, ’tis rumored, is ta
move to the township of Rose-^.
wood in the very near future.;
May I on behalf of the students! ,
express our deepest sympathy at*
this trying moment in your life.
Daniel B. and Jackie ditto seem^
to be seeing each other a lot these,
days. Meanwhile Oscar seems to
be making the rounds.
Via the well known bird (name
on request) I have heard that
Jean M. has a nightly game of
“post office” with some teen-ag
ers-to-be of her neighborhood. Of
course, the Army has preference
at the ball games.
My before mentioned ' friend
(Paragraph 2) tells me that Ottis.
Pate has a very tender spot in his
heart for Mary Ann J.
“Boz” and Susan are o.k. again,
and amongst the old.r,eliables are:
Martha and Biii?B^|||^'rTn”3t)e.
WARNING! . Attention Betty B!
Mary G. H. is said to have, a ter
rible crush on Mickey M.
I must stop now as the time al
lotted to this writing has been;
something. ■Goodbye for now.
Two Students
Are Honored

Mr. Britton.
He has no favorite food or dish.
He will take them all. His favorite
sport is tennis, but he likes to see
all the other sports.

to be, but a GHS student says not
to worry—these cracks don’t mat
ter much.
