Page Two Goldsboro Hi News Friday, December 20,1946 I Good Intentions Gone In just a few days it will be Chistmas. It seems that only a few days ago we were starting to school. School wasn’t something to bother one then. It was a relief to have some thing to do after a long, lazy summer. Everyone started fujl of ambitions, resolu tions, planning to make the honor roll, no doubt about it. Studying was going to be easy. Those standing assignments weren’t going to be for gotten until the last minute. They were going to be done as soon as they were assigned. School didn’t stop and neither did time, and students let their resolutions slip away. They really did mean to keep them, but there were oodles of good excuses they were able to offer themselves, and their consciences didn’t hurt a bit. Well, here it is Cl^ristmas time, and all the good intentions are gone. So is a large part of the school year. Enjoy the Holidays, but come back to school ready to keep those resolutions this time. No one expects a student to be a bookworm, but one is only cheating himself when he slides by. So try keeping those resolutions. The re sults will bring joy. —L. L. R. Be Careful - Dcember 20—Whoopee! Out of school for exactly two weeks and two days! Could any thing be more wonderful? Well, just listen to a little advice. Don’t worry, we’re not going to tell you to keep up with your geometry, chemistry, English, Spanish, over the holidays. It’s just this—Be careful with those fire crackers, students, and let’s not be too reckless. Keep on having fun galore. Let’s sing and be merry, let’s all be happy—It’s have the biggest time ever; but remember to be careful. Don’t drive too fast watch where you walk, and keep an eye on those fire crackers! A merry, merry, good Chistmas to you all! M. W. WE HONOR r FRANCIS BABBLES Why Not Study Periods This question is one about which all the students and many of the teachers hav^e wcmder- ed. he question is “Why can’t we have study periods?” Many of the schools in neighboring towns have them. They have as many subjects as we, and many of them only go until 3:15 in the afternoon. Of course, all the students would be in favor of such a period. Many teachers approve also. If GHS students were allowed such a per iod, think what it would mean. In this period students could catch up on back work and get up homework. This would bring up students’ averages and then teachers wouldn’t complain about students not doing homework. This period would benefit teachers, too. They could grade papers, catch up on back work, also, and do many things that teachers have to do. As wee look at this problem it seems unfair that we are denied this much-needed activity. And we don’t see why study periods would be impossible if each period were cut a little. I think we definitely need such a period. How about you? -C.J. Stud^^^^^orld Affc airs Have we been paying enough attention to national and world affairs? While the problems between labor and capi tal are plunging the nation into turmoil, are we going calmly on our various ways with no thought about how this will affect us in the future? The things which are happening in the na tion and world today will have direct bearing on us when we go out into the world. We will be caught up in the web'the unions are weaving when we start out in our chosen vocations. We will vote when we become twenty-one. The work ings of the United Nations will determine wheth er or not we have peace. Therefore, we should read papers and articles and know what is hap pening in the different organizations and pre pare ourselves to join in these things when the time comes. .

A Senior Speaks Going first in the lunch line is suppose^ to be a senior privilege. Webster’s definition of privilege is “a right gained as a particular advantage to some spe- tjfic, gro)up^’ ' J We can remember when underclassmen were forced back when a senior approached the line. Is it right for the seniors to have to fight for this privilege when they have waited three years for it? Come on Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen—give us what we deserve. Your chance is coming. —W.

We Salute Marshals When coming home from a play, or other entertainment in the high school auditorium, how many times have your parents asked the question, “Who was that nice young girl who ushered me to my seat?” or “Who was that po lite young gentleman who handed me my pro gram?” To this you probably replied, “Oh, they are just the marshals.” And just who is this group of marshals composed of? It is composed of high school students who have made the highest scholastic averages in school for fhree years. At the end of their junior year they are named as marshals to serve the following year. The duties of the mashals are to serve as ushers at plays, meetings, and other events. No on 'teally stops to think about how helpful and useful the marshals really are. They’re more or less taken for granted. They’re “just the marshals.” But we think we’ve taken them for granted long enough. We believe a vote of thanks should be given to this group of students who make things pleasanter and friendlier for us, as Nwell as the townspeople, when we enter our school and auditorium. Edward Daron Ward, our Christ mas honoree, made his worldly debut December 21, 1928. The blessed event took place here in Goldsboro, where he has spent his near seventeen years. Daron, as he is called (his re quest), xemaijied in the back ground in school activities, as far as,, recognition is concerned, for his freshman year. However, in his sophomore year he was made a marshal; and he took part in the Christmas and Easter programs. ^yh^n, tiaa^ational Honoiii^Society held its tapping last year he was one of the. few honored by being tapped into the society. He now serves as treasurer of the organi zation. Daron made another debut during the junior year; however, this time it was dramatic, the pro duction, "Janie.” He was such a success in that play that he was chosen for a part in “Ramona.” He served as vice-president of the Distributive Education Club 'ast year, and was selected this year for national recognition in the DE Club’s yearly publication. Daron has already been in one play this year and several radio shows. The radio productions in clude: “Slate Notes,” “Deadline for Living” and “This Freedom of Ours.’ Constance Johnson — That does not sound right; let me try again. “Connie” Johnson, born in Con- neaut, Ohio, settled down in Goldsboro when she was in the seventh grade, after having lived in ten other cities. She has been very active in high school. She was co-chairman of the War Activities Board her sophomore year. During her junior year she served as corresponding secretary of the SA. She was a marshal that year and is one this year. Connie ie on >the social com mittee and is Business Manager of the Hi News also. Her favorite actor and actress are Paul Henried and Lana Turn er. Her favorite food is “just food.’ “The Old Lamp Lighter” is her favorite song. Connie doesn’t dis like anytihng, but work. She plans td attend college (she hasn’t made up her mind as to which one) after graduation, Whatever you decide to major in, Connie, we are sure you will make good and we wish all the luck you’ll need—plus! Howdy friends. Much to Margie Perry’s dislike Ah am heah this time. And much to a couple of staff members’ disappointment Ah am writin’ this colum this time. Did you no?

In the back Edward Daron Ward has not yet decided just what career he vill pursue upon graduation, but we wish him much good luck in what ever field he ma^ choose. I JOY NOTES ) Use Library In how many ways does our library help us each day? We can name numerous occasions on which we have needed to use the library. There are those students who only think of the library as a place where there are books to use when they need a book-report, or some reference A^ork in a hurry. Other students use the library as a place to gain knowledge and to gain a better understanding of the world in which we live. Surely we should use our library, which is a good one, and well-filled one for a high school, to the best advantage instead of abusing and contributing to the general destruction of the books. —L. P. Here are some of the people and organizations in Goldsboro High School that have recently given a fair share of joy to the school: Seniors and sociology class for Thanksgiving program. Everyone who contributed to Thanksgiving baskets. The sophomore class for the Christmas program. Everyone who helped make the Christmas party (also the Spanish social) a success. Cast and director of “Heaven Can Wait” for their splendid pro duction. Cast and director of “Bethlehem Road” for their inspiring perfo^'m- ance. seat was Mary Grey. Er Ah mean Mary Grey was in the frunt seat. It wu2 Rudy and anuther little seems thet these tew fine couples was injoyin thirselves at the nir- port when the reglar Fridy night patrol car came by. It also seems thet these tfc (abbreviate fer tew- I'ine-couples Ah finds it easier to kite tfc than Ah do to rite. tew- fine-cuples) was followed from the 'port by the “patrol.” They later returned to the ’port where the ever vigilant patrol was wait in’. Of course Martha, Connie, Ma ry Ann, Irene, Kitzi, and Ider Loo wudn’t do nuthin about thet littul incident. We wrote a lettir tew Ernie )ur ideel and he sed thet l^e reely ap preciated the comment about lim in CYTIt. Ah wunder why sech hands')lie young people in the freshmin class namely the men, all go around just loafing the time away whin they cud ezily find a more plias- ant means of entertainment. .Ve refers in the mane to Julian Hill. Sevrul new cases have developed in GHS, amongst them is 3oz (Booker T.) and Kitzi. We have neerly exhausted )ur Means of news and our brains . . BUT not quite. Leonard Fulghum told me not tew put anything in this column about him and Audrey Garris £:0 I won’t. Instead I will mention (as Ah see it only fittin’) Leonr.d and Irene Jeffreys. Ah wood likt to be on the lu.uh- room committee so I cud eat when and as much as Ah pleased. We have heered (and sawn) a lot o’ times BILLY WINSLOW and ANNE LEE goin’ along just o so happy. It must be love ’cause we no Billy don’t like to read at the library thet much. Wall, goodby fer now. I hope I will be able to see yew next time. By the way, to all mentioned here in: “Can You Take It?” Ha Ha . .. Homecoming Observations (by Herbert Howell) A ripple of nex'vous excitement had been passing among the stu dents of GHS. Everyone was ex cited over the big homecoming game and parade Friday. Each homeroom was slaving away try ing to make their float as pretty as possible so it would win. Many strange sights were seen around the old school. A truck out in the back was taking shape of a train engine; another truck was sportiiig a graveyard in its trail er; and a certain yellow Model A was beginning to look like a gi gantic wad of crepepaper. Yes, in deed, that was a happy day. Friday, November 15, 1943, broke as a beautiful, crisp, autumn day—perfect for a parade. Hj ne- room period that morning was spent in putting the finishing touches on the floats. Exciteme.it was in abundance. No one wanted to study (of course, this isn’t v.ut of the ordinary) but, it was more so on that day. Finally 2:30 arrived. Those v^ho were not fortunate enough to leave class previously joined their class mates back of school where ev »y- one was to line up. In the bright • sunshine were brightly dec^ated cars, coljred crepepaper streaming in the gen le breeze, the confusion of students rushing back and forth, the so.ind of a guitar accompanied by a ^ew voices, punctuated now and then by a muted trumpet, and everyuue thoroughly mixed up. At last everyone was lined tip. Indeed it was a queer sight—while sweaters, brilliant crepepaper, un usual floats, and a black muie- drawn hearse with a young gentle man perched on the top robed in black tails, brogans, and clutcn^ig a shovel. Slowly the parade progrjssed down Herman, turning on to vl .1- berry, and rolling on toward to v i. On reaching town the paraders carne ter life. The GHS band blared forth at the head of the parade, boisterous shouts rose from the mule-drawn hearse, horns blared, and the gui tar, trumpet and songsters A^ere still going strong. Straight through town went ‘he parade, followed by the eyes of open-mouthed admirers on he sidewalks of Goldsboro, sometimes laughing and sometimes pointedly admirable. The parade came to a halt in front of the courthouse where a pep rally was held. The students joined in a few yells, the band played some se lections, and Superintendent Ray Armstrong made a short talk. Then the winner of the parade was announced. Mr. Clifton Britton’s homeroom won. Their float was the train that had been seen tak ing shape in the back of the school. The smoke came out of the top, accompanied by a bell ringing at intersections, made the train look very realistic. Now it was all over. It was al most sad. All the bright colors dis appearing, the shouts dying away, and no longer could the sound of the band be heard. But all good things come to a close sooner or later, and now our homecoming parade was over. Triple Prog,ram In a triple program some day§ ago, the students of GHS heard “Slate Notes,” witnessed the pre sentation of the prizes to the win ners of the fire prevention essay contest, and heard “Deadline for Living.” The student body assembled in the auditorium and listened to “Slate Notes,” a radio program which is presented every Friday by the Goldmasquers Radio Work shop over WGBR. The purpose of this program is to acquaint the parents with the happenings at the Goldsboro Grade School. Carlton Frederick introduced Mr. J. G. Redmond and Mrs. J. D. Pike, both from the Junior Chamber of Commerce. They presented the prizes to the winners of the fire prevention essay con test, which was sponsored by the Jaycees. Mr. Clifton Britten explained the purpose of “Deadline for Liv ing” a radio play about the atom bomb. It tells of the awakening (Contined on Page 5)
