Campaign speeches were held on Thursday, October 3, after which the freshmen made their first vis it to the polls in Goldsboro High School. The results of the elec tion were announced at the tradi tional freshman tea on the follow ing Friday afternoon. In the re vote, campaign speeches were held Monday, October 7. The re-vote was taken the following Tuesday. Others in the race were Libby Lou Stuart, running for vice-pres ident; Minnie Ruth Forehand, campaigning for secretary; and Jimmy Thomas, Jane Bostic, Sara Dewey Hunt, and Julia Manly, running for cheerleader. All details of the election were handled by the SA Board of Elec tions, of which Leah Lloyd Riggs- bee is chairman. Attendance Up Says Principal “Percentage of attendance is the best since I’ve been in GHS,” an nounced Mr. C. W. Twiford, prin cipal of the high school. Mr. Twiford said that the per cent of promotions last year by the days attended were as follows: the students attending from 180 days up had 100 per cent promo tions; those attending from 160 179 days had 98 per cent promo tions; those attending from 140 159 days had 90 per cent promo tions; and those attending from 120-139 days had 75 per cent pro motions. He also said that .the 492 stu dents attending high school the first month last year had 96 per cent attendance, while this year the 600 students attending have 98 per cent attendance. Mr. Twiford stressed the fact that it is important to be on time. Tardiness goes down on the stu dent’s permanent record, and counts against him when he seeks employment in later years.
