ed. Surely there are a few teachers who would
be willing to help advise an annual staff.
Of course, there is no getting around' the
fact that someone might miss a class or two.
But for an annual there are many people who
would be, willing to work outside of school.
An annual would give them more interest in
school because they would be receiving with
the compliments of the school the permission
to work on something that held a great deal of
their interest.
What is your personal opinion of an an
nual? Do you think the Goshica should be
published again? ^
Think it o'ver!

Welcome,
Teachers
Twelve new teachers have been added to
the Goldsboro High School faculty. They are:
Misses Alexander, Bryan, Davis, Langston,
Mills, Mixon, Reade, Rosser, Shine, Spence, and
Messrs. Blysack and Russell.
The staff wishes to extend to these new
teachers a most hearty welcome. We are all
glad to have you, and we know that with full
cooperation from all, we can make this a hap
py and successful school year.
The first few weeks of the school year are
usually very trying to both teachers and stu
dents. It is hard for the new teachers to learn
to know every new face, and to become ad
justed to a new school, but we know the stu
dents are doing their best to help the teachers
become adjusted,
W't; hope that you new teavhers will learn
to love CMS as much as we do, and we know
S. A. Objectives
The Student Association is again faced with
a new year and a new set of objectives.
The objectives for this year are: (1) to
print a telephone book with students’ names
and addresses, and phone numbers; (2) to
have better conduct in council; (3) to have a
guest teacher at every council meeting; and
(4) to have an executive board meeting before
each council meeting with the committe chair
men who have business attending.
If you are a committee chairman and have
business to come before the council, meet with
the executive board. This will enable them to
plan the council - meeting systematically and
there will be less disorder in council. There'
fore, be carrying out one of the objectives you
carry out.
We want our teachers behind us. Although
the guest teacher has no vote in council, she
can help us solve our problems and carry out
the work of the-S. A. Be courteous to her al
ways and respect her judgment.
If we put the meeting to. the Student Asso
ciation before other activities we can still ac
complish our objectives easily.
—S. S.
WE HONOR
Look to the Future
The date of September 9 will be a memor
able date, to many of us. Your school year will
be exactly as you want it to be. If you want to
get through your subjects by the skin of your
teeth, O. K. I't's up to you. If you make a flop
the - entire student body ;oins the staff in ex- y°^‘‘ school career, you will most likely
pressing the hope for a long and lasting friend
ship between students and teachers.

Annual
Will there be an annual this year? That is
a question many Goldsboro High School stu
dents are hopefully asking. , There are many
arguments against an annual as well as many
for an annual.
An annual would require a great deal of
work on the part of students and teachers. It
would also involve much expense.
These seem to be the major arguments
against an annual. Although there are many
other facts that come under these heads— (1)
Scholarship is being built up in Goldsboro High
School this year. An annual would sometimes
take people out of class. (2) The teachers are
already doing a great deal. An annual would
add to their work. (3) Not all the students
could afford an annual.
Speaking in favor of an annual are many
things.
You.are only in high school once. Need
less to say you are only a senior once. An an
nual is something that will always keep alive
the happy memories of the wonderful times you
had, as well as the things that you accomplish
ed during your high school days. In looking
through your annual in later years old friends
will be smiling out of its pages Sharing these
many memories with you.
True, this is all sentiment, but then aren’t
we all sentimentalists at heart, even though
some of us,try to hide it?
To be more practical, our annual would
not be such an expense. The annual staff of ’45
left a fund of three hundred and eighty dollars
as a start for the class of '47 or ’48 to use in
publishing an annual. Advertizing would also
help lessen the cost. With the large number of
students in high school this year there would
surely be enough interested in an annual so
that the number subscribing to one would allow
the price to be low. The more buying an an
nual, the cheaper the annual.
Also it is a fact, too, that people have more
money now than ever before. ^
The faculty in. Goldsboro High School is
much larger than in 1945, when the first Goshica i
(Goldsboro High School Annifal) was publish-1
make a big flop of your life.
The way you progress through your first
quarter is a pretty good indication of how you
will go through the others. By the end of nine
weeks you will have formed habits. Either’you
work or loaf.
To the seniors — a warning — this is your
last chance. Next year you will be out on your
own at college and if you loaf through this
year you’ll be sorry next year when it will be
too late.
To you juniors and sophomores — Make
the most of your time while you have a chance
and before it is too late.
And to the freshmen. — This is your first
year. Start off with a clean slate. This is the
year in which you either make a record, a good
record to be proud of, or else you make a bad
name for yourself and for the class as a whole.
And whatever name you make sticks.
Make the most of your opportunities while
you have the chance. When you go to collect
you will wish you had taken advantage of your
opportunities. And also for you students who
are going into various phases of life next year!
Then it will be too late! So before it is too
late, if your record has only been good, change
it and make it excellent, and you freshmen who
are starting now, don’t loaf. Because your rec
ord will be just as you make it. It’s all up to
you.

FRANCIS W. STANLEY, JR.
Get Wise
At times during the day ©ne can walk in
the boys’ rest rooms, and almost imagine a to
bacco drying factory burning because of the
tobacco smoke and odor.
Boys at Goldsboro High School ought to
get wise to themselves and prove that they have
enough will power to wait until after school
hours to smoke — if they feel that they can’t
live without itl
It’s about time the boys got to thinking
and doing something about this habit. At,the
first of the year it was nothing but a few se
niors, but now it’s Freshmen, Sophomores, Ju
niors and Seniors.
Are you boys going to get wise and quit
smoking at school or are you going to keep it
up and ruin the reputation of your school and
probably get thrown out of it?
Think it over.
S5me newspaper should start
printing the White House menus
daily. Be interesting to know^if
the Chief Executive and his family
are getting any steak, roast beef,
and other meat these days. And
how much? How are you doing,
by the way? We can’t get any
meat in our neighborhood.
Francis W. Stanley, Jr., better
known as F. W., was born in our
own city of Goldsboro on Decem
ber 18, 1929.
Since his entrance into high
school, F. W. has been quite active
in various fields. In his sopho
more year he took part in “Lawd,
Does Ya’ Understan’ ”. He also
was very active in sports that

the baseball team, and received a
Out of thepetter for this. He was a mem
ber of the Varsity Club, and as
sistant sports editor for the Hi
News.
In F. W.’s junior year, he held
the office of business manager for
the Goldmasquers, and feature
editor of the Hi News. He was
co-chairman of the athletic com-
I mittee, and secretary of the Var-
1 sity Club. He played in the pro
duction “Janie”, and served as a
marshal.
This year F. W. is co-chairman
of the social committee, and is al
so class historian. He is treasurer

F. W. has no favorite food, but
will eat “anything, so long as it’s
still.”

neral director. Upon graduation

SA President
Has Message
Fellow Students of GHS:
Our country has as its greatest
heritage the right of self govern
ment. In our school we have a
group known as the SA Council
that helps to prepare us for the
responsibilities of self government.
Thus the training we receive is
very valuable.
Sometimes we seem to forget
just how important our Council
really is, and we put other things
first. We must take it seriously
and give it our wholehearted sup
port.
Our Council is as important to
GHS as the United Nations is to
the world.
Never before in the history of
the world have men who know
how to gov,ern been needed more
than now.
You see, we can’t afford to lose
sight of how important our Coun
cil is. Our Council and others
like it are the. foundation of de
mocracy and statesmanship.
Let us not forget this. It is our
privilege during the coming years
to make our Council and world
good, or to destroy both to be
waste and rubble for eternity.

Let’s Be
Buddies
(by Jane Shaver)
The day opened as dreary as the
dreariest and there it was — th^
ninth of September — the day#
which was circled in red (or was
it crossed?) on our battered cal
endar. It was almost unbeliev
able that our precious vacation
had ended. The summer just
seemed to slip through our fin
gers and fade away before we
alized it. Well, the fateful day
had dawned and there was noth
ing that we could do other than
suppress a wide yawn, reluctantly
push ourselves outa that good ole
bed, and, dodging the drenching
downpours, truck off to school ! !
The minute we stepped into that
old familiar hall, we could feel
that same friendly atmosphere —
seeing everyone back again, dish
ing out good slaps-on-the-back,
and idly chatting about “That girl
at the beach — ZOWIE!” “Have
you seen the good-looking fresh
man?” “Hope we get in the same
room!” “The new teacher looks
tops to me.” Yes, it gave us a
warm“ feeling inside to just stop
for a second and take a gander
at these friendly people and to re
alize what a wonderful student
body we do have.
Goldsboro^High School has al
ways had a reputation of having
Dear Sir:
“Here I come full or joy,
I got here before KILROY”.
It is really good to be back at
GHS agin. It’s just like I was
saying to to Hebert (ya no He
bert, ower presadent), ya no He
bert, it’s sure good to be back
again and see all the old students.
At thet point Hebert sez, I also
like to look at the new ones ARF,
ARF, HOWULLLLLL. I guess he
ment the new freshmen or at
least the freshmin gurls. Hebert
sez, F. W. (thet’s ma name, ma
phone number is 1116, and I live
(surprise), I just live), whut are
you agoin’ to dew when it comes
time to put out the colum you
wrote so good last year. Hebert,
I sez, I think I will just write a
lettir and put my news in it. He
sez, somethin’ on the order of The
Science Newslitter? I sez yes.
And thet is why I am here ritin’
today to you.
It twas jest the othur day when
I saw thet guy frum Wilson. I
believe he cawls hisself Joe B. I
will omit the last name on tew
accounts.
Account One: It is my polisy
nevir to use last names, ownly er-
nishals. Account Tew: I don’t no
how to spell it. (His last name,
that is, not it. Any old fool kin
spell it. I-T.) Well, this shere
feller was a standin’ out in the
hall talkin’ to thet little junyer
Barbara H. (No last name agin).
An’ since then I bin seein’-them
together a hole lot.
I wuz talkin’ to sumbody out
there the other day (wherever I
was, it ain’t none o’ your busi
ness), talkin’ to (I used that once,
didn’t I?) and he sed, I guess the
Jane S. was rite happy to hear
erbout the new autymobile that
Jack jest wun. But little do she
no thet it wuz some othur little
gurl out there at the carnival thet
got his number.
Marilyn T. (thet’s anuther last
name I coodn’t spell even effen I
tryed) seems to have tuk the
shock of J. C.’s leavin’ as well as
cood be expected. Ah saw the
junyer Josephine J. in the hawl
the othur day and seein’ as how I
wanted to talk to her I decided
to stop her. So when she came
by I yelled whoa, just like I did
on the farm, to the old horse. . It
musta been them new fangled
hairdos cawled bangs — I think
thet is the name by which they
are cawled. I saw her agin at
the street d.ance the othur nite and
jest did stop frum sayin’ haw an’
gee. As you probably no, she was
with ma good frien’ Paul S.
Ever since Billy R.’s bin gon’,
Martha W. and Connie J. and a
hole bunch uv uppur classmen
gurls neerly go batty when they
see Ronnie and Donnie.
Herbert (remimber) sez thet
Leonard F. has bih daytin’ Lew
(thet’s Ider Loois) a lot lately.
You no I persunully don’t see why
they call it daytin’ when anybody
nos it’s did at nite, mostly^ nearly
always. But thet is only one of
many'strange things in this wurld
today. Speakin’ of stfange things,
I was, when Billy W. came up to
the typewritur an’ wonted to no
if anybody had been cawlin’ him.
Sumbody (name is .a very con-
ferdential secrut) tol’ me thet
Brucie and Dot C. (a hint: the
“C” is fer chearleader) have been
seen togethur a lot recently.
• Alas, poor Ruth. As you will
unnerstan’ when you find out
about this: (jest as if you didn’t
no it) Donald P. and Barbara R.
is now in the hevy stage of their
new romance. Anothur somwun
wuz askin’ me if I new that Sally
H. and Ervin S. (thet ain’t fer
STANLEY) are sendin’ out heart
beets which are in perfect unison,
thet is rite with Cupid’s recipe fer
real live romance.
Before I leeve this time ....
yes, thet’s about all the news i got
room for ... I wDod like to leave
this little pome which is so char
acteristic uf a lot uf our mascu
line boys.
Here it goes:
The moon was yellow,
The lane was bright,
As we sat there together
In the car that night.
My every look, my every glance.
Should- have hinted
That I craved romance.
I stuttered and stammered
As time went by.
The moon was yellow.
And so was I.
—Copied.
I wuz jest in the process of
closin’ up the colum whin my
conversee sez to me, You don’t
have to put thet you copyed thet
pome. I cood tell thet you could
n’t rite thet good. Lovey Dovey,
I mean Herbert, I sez, I didn’t ame
to tri to steel thet pome; awl I
did wuz thought it wuz good.
Then I sez, I wanted to ask thet
little Mary MSry G. (Ramony) H.
if she new about how long she
wud live, cause Lovey Dovey,
(doggonit, I mean Herbert) seems
to have got hisself a life-long
friend, or mebbe I shud say thet
he has a permanent aquaintanse.
You no thet now thet I have
got started agin it seams thet I
cain’t stop. ’Cause I happened to
remimbir about thet trip thet the
senyurs tuk to Chapul Hill t’uther
Satyday mawnin’. Wall, it wuz
on thet trip that Charlie Cason-
ovy E. enjoyed his ride up with
thet car full of wimmen, namely,
Edwiny H., Pauly D., Sary Jane P.,
and sew on. I am sure he injoyed
the trip. Wudn’t choo?
Seems as if litul Leah L. has
got a feller in ev’ry port, fer it’s
John Alexander (doan’t worry,
Miss Shaver, I don’t meen John
Alexander Hauser) in Ahosky,
an’ ’pears to be “Gut” here. It
mus’ be sumthin’.
Sum un jest sed thet cadit J. C.
Horn has ben purty buzy whin he
ain’t marchin’ writin’ lettirs to
sum of the local girls, incluedeing:
Marthy (mentioned previous to
this occasyun), Mary Ann and
Irene J. (yep, both of ’em), Ider
Lew (also prevyus menshuned),
and Leah L. (menshuned in the
preecedin’ chaptur). (Pardin me, -
I mean parygraf). Also his friend
Miss Willus.
Well, it seems lak I have ex-
haustid my brain and papur, so
it’s (speaking in Spanish) a tasty
banana to you.
Yore friend,
Sicnarf.
such extremely congenial stu
dents — students who could make
and hold friends with ease. Now,
at the first of the year, when
there are so many newcomers, and
freshmen (and also our old bud
dies), now is the time for us to
prove that.
Taking a genuine interest in the
other fellow seems to be the first
and most essential step in making
friends. Most friendships, if you
have noticed, are mutual. Here,
the same principle is applied. If
we want people to be Interested in
us, then, first, we must become in-
•terested in them.
While mingling with a new
crowd, have you ever been par
ticularly attracted to any certain
boy or girl? If so, what was the
one main facXpr that “did the
■trick”? Well, agreeing with the
toothpaste ads, I think a smile has
more to dp with one’s personality
than any other one thing. Some
say clothes, but everyone knows
that the expression a person wears
on his face is far more important
than the clothes he wears on his
back. Yes, it is just as the old
Chinese proverb says:
“A smile costs little but creates
much.”
It happens in a flash and the
memory sometimes last forever.
It cannot be bought, begged,
borrowed or stolen.
But it is something that is no
earthly good to anyone unless it
is given away.
So if, in your hury and rush,
you meet someone, who is too
weary to give you a smile, leave
them one of yours.
For no one needs a smile quite
as much as he who has none left
to give.
So if we feel “low”, or find our
selves looking at the world
through dark-colored glasses, then
let’s snatch them off by flashing
a captivating smile and becoming
interesting and therefore, interest
ing. Yep, just cheer up and—
let’s be BUDDIES!!!!
