I Page Two Girls' Sports In the Hi News room we receive school papers from school all over this state and from other states. In practically all these papers something is mentioned concerning the girls’ sports activities of that school. Most schools, regardless of size, have some means of physical training for girls. The development of the body is just as important as the development of the mind, because of the excess energy in the younger geenration. The working together of the mind and body pro motes character and intelligence. G. H. S. used to have a Girls* Sports Club. Ihis club was disbanded in 1945. There are many girls that would like to see this club as an organization once again—and soon. We hope that some of the old members of this club and others who are interested in participating in sports as representatives from Goldsboro High School will work to re-organize the club. Sports help students to appreciate school— not as an institution of book learning, but as a good environment for living, —E. D. Goldsboro Hi News Tonight th first big social of the year will ■ J. This social is to be given for the entire student body. We want one hundred percent attendance at this social. We especially want to urge the freshmen to attend. Since this sociaLis for all of us, let’s all go. —F. S. Wednesday, November 27,1946 WE HONOR r FRANCIS BABBLES ] For Compulsory Tickets We believe that it is none too early to be gin mailing plans for a compulsory activity ticket for the year 1947-48. We students voted against having an activity ticket for this year and we feel sure that most of us realize that we made a big mistake. With an activity ticket a student can at tend all home football, basketball, and base ball games, S. A. socials and assemblies, plays, and receive a subscription to the Hi News, for only about $7.50. A large amount would be saved by every student’s buying a ticket. We would give more support to our teams and show a better school spirit if every student owned a ticket. When it is put to a vote, keep in mind the _mistake we made this year and vote for an I activity ticket, a ticket to a better G. H. S. —B. W. Be Safety Conscious We have recently observed Safety Week.j A week in which to observe safety. Only a' week! What of the other weeks? Do we forget to get the rest of the time and let safety go its way and we go ours? This isn’t the way it should be. Safety should be a year-round proposition. Salety Week can be as dangerous as any other week in the year. Safety Week should not be just a week of precaution, but also a week to revive interest in safety. Statistics tell the terrible story traffic accidents are writing in our lives. If we aren’t careful our names may be added to the list of accident victims. Let’s everyone do everything possible to prevent accidents. For the sake of mankind it is every driver’s duty to be careful not only during Safety week, but also every day of the year. —H. H Bach the Teams Down town citizens are forever griping about the school’s teams. In the face of what they have to say, the Earthquakes couldn’t score against the midgets. Backing can make or break a team, Goldsboro the lack of backing is well on the way toward tearing th.e teams to pieces. People are forever saying that they will back a winning team. How are they to know whether or not the team is winning if they stay away from the games? I don’t think they have much to gripe about! -O-P- h m Hi, chums: Well here I am once again, your old faithful news columnist, (and I imagine that you are eager for some news.) The biggest event of the social circle in a long time was the girl take boy “Sadie Hawkins Dance.” Cliief hepcat and jitterbug of GHS, Elton Warrick, escorted by Anna Strosnider, winner cl' the ‘Lena the Hyena’ contest, outsliown all these oldtime hepcats. It’s re makable what a little new blood will do!

The duties of this committee include the planning and executing of socials for the student body. This year, the committee has conducted socials after all home football games, with the exception of one which was played on a Sat urday. Attendance at these socials has been fair ly good. Fairly good, that is, as far as the senior, junior, and sophomore classes are con cerned. The freshman attendance has been below par. nil Published eight times a year by the journal ism class of Goldsboro High School, Golds boro, N. C.

Be Thankful Always The first Thanksgiving Day was observed in New England in 1621 after the first harvest. However, it was not until the nineteenth cen tury that the custom had spread throughout many states. During the war, some people wandered what they had to be thankful for. They won dered why they should observe a day of Thanks giving when their husbands, sons, and friends were fighting overseas, the danger of losing their lives ever present. Yet these people did not appeciate the fact that here in America no bombs were being dropped; no women and chil dren were being mercilessly killed. Although the world is at peace now, short ages and scarcities cause people to complain and grumble. Again they do not stop to think— to think about the starving homeless people of Europe who give thanks for a crust of old bread. If the people over there can be so grate ful for whatever they have, then we in the land of plenty can utter a prayer of thanks that every day over here can be a day of Thanksgiving. —M. T. In his first year of high school j Boz served as. president of the ^ freshman class, was a member of; the reception committee, and was j an SA council representative. He i also played iii “Sky Fodder” that year. ^ ] As a sophomore Boz served on the i'eception committee, and took part in the plays “Lost Horizon,” “This Night Shall Pass,” and “Sky Fodder,” which was given at Chap that year. In his junior year Boz ser\-ed as parliamentarian for tiie SA, was a member of the reception committee, the handbook commit tee, and was president of the Goldmasquers. He played in “Ra mona,” and “Mountain Laurel,” and took part in the radio shows “The Question,” “A Child is Born,” and “This Freedom of Ours.” He was also elected the “most repre sentative boy” that year. Now, as a senior, Boz is serving as a member of the reception com mittee, and as president of the Goldmasquers for the second con secutive year. He participated in a “Community Chest Drive” pro gram, has been on several radio news broadcasts, and is now in the first Goldmasquers’ production for the year “Heaven Can Wait.” Boz says he likes to eat asparag us, bananas, pineapples, and chicken, (but we hope not all to- Ainong the local celebrities also present at the dance were; D.

It’ll be tough if the biys fol low the girls’ example when the Varsity Dance comes along and limit themselves to freshmen. No joke,- though, it really was nice to see so many freshmen at the dance. We hope you won’t wait to be asked next time, but will come on anyway and join in the fun. Margie Perry and Sam Lynch are making headlines in Cupid’s newspaper. Lillian O. (for Over man) and Chubby B. (for Kitzi’s brother) seem to be enjoying each other’s company too. The freshman class vice-presi- dent was Again seen strolling the halls prior to the ringing of the nine o’clock bell with Sarah D.

It seems as if Jane Shaver fin ally decided on football and walk ing, rather thart on a trumpet and riding. Don’t feel too bad, Jack. We’ll be glad to keep you com pany any time. It appears that Billy T. has de veloped a habit of welcoming the freshmen each year. Speaking of freshmen, Marie S. seems to have her eye on a cer tain senior. How about it.

She goes wild over songs such as “Buzz Me” and "That’s the Stuff You Gotta’ Watch.” She likes everything ex cept conceited people. When asked about her ambition, she replied, “Haven’t decided, would like to be a model—but there ain’t no hope for me in that.

Work for It You can’t learn to swim if you don't go swimming. You’ll never be able to ride a horse if you don’t go riding. Tennis won’t be your game unless you go out and try to play. You really won’t be able to do anything unless you work at it and stick to it. An education is something you have to work for. It can’t be given to you, and you aren’t born with it. It is one of the many things you have to acquire. There aren’t any easy methods. There is no shortcut. You have to work had and steadily. You’ll find that you’ll enjoy learning if you stick to it. You can’t come to schools one day and miss the next, and learn anything. Being late doesn’t help your progress one bit. So check yourself! This is a matter that you can do something about! So do it!! —L. L. R. Green Freshmen Become Seniors By Edna Davis It seems the class ol ’44 is well represented at Carolina. Recently discharged Irom branches of the service and attending are l.,ouis Maxwell, Oscar Lovelace, James Reini, Eugene Russell, Jack Cobb. Also attending is Sidney Gardner. Bill}* Daly, ’4S, and Neal Raegan, ■45, were recently home on leave 1‘rom the Army. They are both going to California and then ex pect to go overseas. We sure do wish you both luck and maybe it won’t be too long befox-e “you all” receive a ruptured duck. We are mighty glad to see so many of these past grads receiving their discharges but we hear that r Mickey Heyward, ’44, has signed with the navy for three more years. Two of the ex G. I.’s chose to come back to high school. How about it, Brucie and Chubby? Both boys graduated in ’44. Donald Mai- pass,. ’45, is also bacK. As usual cupi4 has been play ing his part. The ones that have had their name chaijged or were the cause of someone else chang ing theirs were; Joe Jackson, ’46, Gerty Lewis, ’45, and Gloria Gur- ganus, ’44. Some of the G. I.’s attending the Goldsboro G. I. College are Will son Griffin ’43, Tubby Jones ’44, Guy MacFarland, ’44, Pete Riven- bark, ’44, and Bill Slocumb, ’44. JOY DATES /j By Connie Johnson and Martha Winslow By Leah Lloyd Rigsbee Entering high school at the ten der age of thirteen, I was very definite in my opinioji of seniors. Seniors were not in the same class as other people. They had their own special group for they were very special people. With all my poor “lil ole” heart, I yearned to be a senior. I suffered through Freshman Week and all the horrors that Freshmen are forced to endure due to the malicious nature of the up per classmen; that is, with the ex ception of Seniors. Seniors didn’t have any cruel thoughts. Their thoughts were all lovely and they always smiled at you very friendly and they never worried, worked, or complained. Everything was easy for them. Recovering from my initiation period I fell into my designated rut and went to work. Hard work and long lunch lines still did not discourage my strong feeling for seniors. I drolled when they walked by and stepped in front of me in the lunch line. All the girls were my ideals and all the boys my heroes. This was the frame of mind in which I spent my Freshman year Returning after a lazy summer I again crawled' in my rut. The only difference was a couple of new books. I slaved away at the usual grind but my mind was not on my work for I was think ing of the wonderful day when I would be a Senior. Time has a strange way of pro ceeding on its way no matter how fast or slow you wish it to go. So with unfaltering regularity it passed and I was a Junior. Not even Geometry discouraged me, although I did wish that my history book wasn’t quite so heavy. This is a new column in your paper. We hope you like it and will make suggestions as to the contents. Our purpose is to show in a small way the appreciation of the whole school to certain indi viduals and organizations for out standing work and cpntributions which make our daily lives more joyful. 1. SA officers and advisors for a good beginning of this year’s r I work. i 2. Mr. Russell and the entire band, for their untiring work to give GHS a band to be proud of. 3. Varsity and Junior football teams for their splendid sports manship and fine showing. 4. Coaches for their endless in terest and enthusiasm. 5. Cheerleaders for the constant support they have given the team the whole season. 6. Social Committee for the dances after the games that we all enjoy so much. I was a very happy child for only one more year and I would be a Senior. I, too, would never have to work, worry, or complain. Everything would be done with the utmost ease. And so the time windeth its way and at last I was a Senior. I swelled with pride on that first day o'f school. It’s a ,good thing I did, too, because haven’t had time to since. ‘The wee small hours of the morn” as someone so aptly phras ed it, are too small for me. In fact, I just don’t seem to be able to find any hour big enough, not even when I add them all together. Chemistry,trig., and that special English course (you’ll have to see Miss Grant about that) as well as all my other subjects keep me on the run. I had looked forward to this and now—Oh! Brother! - What happened to all those Se niors who sailed through every thing? Was it all my imagination or what? Maybe I’m just dumb, or maybe they were just smai-t, what do you think? Perhaps you have never studied the many schemes politicians use to get votes, but did you know that perhaps thousands who voted dur ing the war, had died weeks be fore? Yet it’s true. Many of our citizens were on the battle fields of.Europe when voting time ap proached during 1940-44. They mailed their votes weeks if not months before November
