Goldsboro Hi News
The Crowds
In Locker
Rooms Here
All my life I have heard how
crowded the streets of New York
are. The steady push and shove,
clanging street car bells, shrill
police sirens, and the sound of
shuffling people moving to and
fro.
New York has nothing on
Goldsboro High School. No Sir!
Read on and find out what I mean.
The other day, I was seated at
my desk in Miss Grant’s room
waiting as usual for the 10:30 bell
ending class. Springing from my
seat at the ringing of the bell I
moved toward the door to travel
on to my good ole locker 209.
While chatting with my pals I
proceeded to open the classroom
door. Before I had hardly crack
ed the door it surged backward
with a force so fierce it almost
loosed my arms from their socket.
The tide of freshmen, sophomores,
juniors and seniors moved toward
their lockers. Being unable to re
cover completely from my first
encounter I allowed myself to be
swept toward the lockers.
On reaching the spot where it
was my custom to turn to reach
my locker, I realized suddenly
the majority planned on turning
on up further. Struggling to turn,
I exhibited more strength than I
knew was in my possession. Amid
the shouts, cries, grunts, and
thudding I squirmed and wiggled
to a spot behind a football player
whom I knew turned to reach his
locker at the same place I did.
Clasping both my hands about
his suspenders I held on for dear
life.
As the football player gallantly
fought on toward the lockers I re
alized I wasn’t moving with him.
His suspenders were stretching.

Style Wiles

— By Margie Perry
Well, here I am back again
talking about styles. So here
goes ! ! !
All the gals surely are sporting
around their sweaters and skirts
since it turned cold but before it
did some mighty cute cotton
dresses were seen. Especially
those low cut ones that Jo J. and j
Barbara H. were sporting around.
Getting back to sweaters and
skirts . Looks as-though the
gals really go in for boys’ sweat
ers this year. Those yellow ones
that Peggy L. and La-Vern T. are
wearing are very good looking.
Carlotta seems to love to wear
hers tucked in her skirt with a
belt. Looks good, too ! ! !
Guess you noticed the new blue
skirts that the girl cheerleaders
have. They are mighty pretty.
Hand-sewn loafers look sporty
on the feet this year and looks like
all the gals really go for them . . .
but some of us still like mocca
sins and saddle shoes.
On the subject of hair — I’ve
noticed some of the girls like to
use peroxide on theirs . . , You |
know, to change the hair in spots.
See you next time 1 ! !

tide.
As I reached the door of room
20 the tardy bell began to ring.

had office at that period wasn’t
very generous with tardy slips. If
I went to class without my books
I’d get a five for the class period.
Suddenly what do you think
happened? An idea popped in my
mind. Here’s what I said: “Oh
my gosh, almost time for tardy

The tide stopped — reeled si
lently for a moment, others plung

rections toward their classes. My
plan was working ! ! !
A few more feet and I would
be where my turning point to
reach lockers was. Being close to
outside of the stream of students
' I made the turn without much
difficulty. Only to run into my
pal the football player, who was
timidly holding up his pants.
Glancing at my hand I saw a pair
of nice suspenders. Being fear
ful of the results if I told him I
jerked them off, I gave them to
him saying I found them. He eyed
me curiously.
On obtaining my books I tried
to move more vigorously toward

In conclusion I have a sugges

let ’em try a few plays between

there’s a possibility of injuring

First Day
Of School
(hy Connie Johnson)
The day, the great day had ar
rived at last. The day of Septem
ber 9 was a day to which I had
looked forward to all summer
(with apprehension).
At the early hour of 8:00 I
finally rose from bed with great
reluctance and began a mad rush
to school at 9:00. Because of
course I couldn’t be late the first
day. After all, you are supposed
to begin the new year with a
clean slate.
When I arrived at school after
digging my way through gobs of
people and forests of weeds, the
school wasn’t as bad as I thought
it would be. Of course things had
changed. For instance a new win
dow in one of the front doors.
Many was the day that I pushed
my hand through that blank space.
Prior to our last year’s instruc
tions to meet in the homerooms
we met in the auditorum. You
know how things change.
People! People! People! And
dogs. In all my high school
career I had never seen so many
students crammed into the audi
torium. And so many strange
faces! Of course all the students
made a dash for the center section
with the result that some folks
got mashed. It was okay for the
football boys after rigorous train
ing but the rest of us poor folks
nearly got mangled.
After some introductory speech
es which were very interesting, all
old students reported to their

As the bell announced the end

way out into the hall and to my
new homeroom. As I change to

tinuous battle to get through to
my destination.
When it was all over I decided it
hadn’t been so-o-o-o-o bad (but
