Page Two Goldsboro Hi News Friday, January 51,1947 We Need Recreation What is there to do at lunch period besides eat lunch? Go to the auditorium and just sit, or go outside and freeze. You see, we really haven’t anything to do and our lunch period should be a time for some recreation. We have horseshoes, it's true. But does everyone play horseshoes^ What we need are more games, a place to dance, and something done to help give us more forms of recreation. 0/1 rainy and bad days the problem is even more acute. Maybe we should start a recreation fund and buy ping pong tables, indoor horseshoe sets, and etc. Don't forget what I have said until a rainy day and then start griping about having nothing to do. Keep it in mind and get started on doing something about it right away. —H. H. Don’t Wait Too Late Application to college 'means countless blanks, every form of application, and untold numbers of requests for doctor’s examinations, pictures (2 1-3 hy 3in., glossy print—nothing else will be accepted), dentist’s reports, grades (the biggest difficulty of all), recommendations from teachers, preachers, friends—oh, what a mess, what a mess. Then finally you get your whole application in and you sit back and wait. A letter comes— quote: “your grades are rather low and we will therefore be unable to assure you of your ac ceptance until some time around April 7. You realize, of course, that the applicants in the upper brackets will be accepted first—etc., etc., etc.” Now you’re really in a bad way—now it's too late—now you wish you’d studied a little more the past four years. It may be too late for some seniors, but it’s not too late for the other GHS students. Get to work now before it’s too late! —M. W. Honesty Campaign The SA is planning to sponsor a much need ed honesty campaign. This is one of the unsolv ed problems oi our own SA and many other schools also. A lot of cheating goes on in class, and in homework, also. Some people think cheating is necessary for them to pass. But if they would get in the habit of preparing their own work they wouldn’t need to depend on others. This way much of the cheating would be eliminated. And then there is the problem of stealing. If a person leaves a pencil unguarded for just one minute, it disappears. In between periods during periods, and after and before school someone goes through the lockers. Every morn ing many of the locker doors are open. Books and papers are missing. Jttost of the time the books are returned, but in the meantime some one has had to do without a book, and conse quently some of them fail. So when the SA announces the plans for the honesty campaign, let’s all give it our best support. Let’s try to better ourselves and make the reputation of honesty high in our school. -C.J.

It was a wonderful time with everybody out supporting the team and having the time of their life. Now Basketball season is here. The team is good and so is the game. It affords just as many thrills and just as mucli excitement as football did. Our Basketball team needs our support. So let’s all turn out and cheer them on to victory. L.L. R. Scholastic Record Good At the beginning of this new year, let us, as a student body, resolve to keep our scholastic record going up. Mr. C. W. Twiford, our principal, has said that the scholastic record is higher for the school than it has been for some time. On an average, 10 per cent of the students would fail when giiaded on the curve. We had only 5 per cent to fail the first half of the school year. A great deal of the credit for this goes to our teachers who are always willing and ready to help us. So at the beginning of the new semester, let us give our teachers more co-operation, spend more time on our school work, and bring that failure average still lower! —S. S. “Crude Attitude” Some of the boys of GHS have a very “crude” attitude toward their school and toward their principal. Several weeks ago we had a meeting of all the boys in the auditorium. In this meeting we decided to quit smoking in the rest rooms and around the school building. This meeting did a lot of good for the first three or four weeks, but now it’s about as bad is it was before. The boys around here seem to be so weak that they can’t keep smgke out of their lungs for five hours a day. Principal C. W. Twiford has been very considerate of the boys that he has caught smoking around school, but since the boys have started smoking out in front of the building in the street, we doubt if he will have much more patience with them. So come on fellows, let’s change our atti- tudeji toward school, and try co-opar.ating a little more. Athletic Improvement What! Football practice beginning on Feb ruary 3? Yes, that’s right, spring football prac tice will begin on the third day of February. This is the first of many improvements we hope to see in the athletic schedule of GHS. This might be the start of better athletics in our high school, not only in football, but in all the other major sports as well. We have not forgotten the proposed gym that-was to be built to the rear of the present building. Our school is one of the few of its size in the state without a gym. With a gym, GHS would certainly go forward in athletics. Sports are a large part of high school life, so let’s try in every way^ possible to make GHS’s athletic department one of the most progressive in the state. —B. W. Teachers Are Helpful For the helpful and willing co'operation that the teachers of our high school have shown for the first semester, we wish to thank them. Without their gracious help, no attainments at all would have been reached. They are the guid ing factor of our high school. JWany times we may have felt that our teachers were hindering, rather than helping us, when they gave us so much homework that it interfered with our activities. However, this is not true. If we only stop to.think, we will find they are really thinking of us. So, many thanks to you, our teachers! N. P. It’s All Up to You Several years ago the fight for the health of North Carolina was begun. This fight is still going on, strongly supported by a fellow North Carolinian, Kay Kyser. North Carolina rates forty-second in the health rating of our nation. This is definitely not a record to be proud of. It is up to us to see that we rate first. It is our duty to seejhat a good health program is initiated in our own schools and homes. We, as students, should aid in the campaign by sup porting our parents and community in the effort to get more doctors, more nurses, better and larger hospitals, and -clean, healthy liying. —M. T. Each issue of the Hi News in troduces you to two personalities deserving of the title “We Honor.” Each of these persons must have contributed in some way to the betterment of the school. This is sue’s boy honoree is Arthur Carl ton Frederick, We don’t need to introduce you, but better acquaint you with the activities of that GHS “swoon king” with the friendly smile and the always Carlton made his worldly entrance Jan uary 2, 1929 at Graham. After living in Burlington, Greensboro, and Durham, he then had the good fortune of moving to Golds boro. “Fredd'e” entered GHS as a sophomore and wasted no time in gaining recognition in many activ ities. He has gone far in athlet ics. For three years he has play ed fullback on the first string Varsity football team; has been co-captain this past peason; play ed basketball one year; baseball two years (this year will make three). In cooperation v/ith sports, Freddie has been in the Varsity Club three years, was a three-let- ter man in sports last year, has won six letters in football, base ball, and basketball, made all-con ference in football, and an honora ble mention on the all-state team. Sports isn’t all that J'reddie has had a “hand” in. He is often seen on the stage introducing speakers, etc., one of the duties of the SA Vice President. He was also vice president of the Varsity Club last year and has served as chairman of the Assembly Committee this year, and a member of the Rec reation Committee last year. As was mentioned before, Fred die can also sing. He has sung in number of talent show,' programs and devotionals. He is also a member of the Methodist Adult Choir and the Frederick trio that, has won the State Singing Cham- i pionship for the past four years. / That friendly, blue-eyed senior, Sarah Jane Pate, has been elected as the girl honoree for this issue. Sarah Jane made her appearance December 14, 1929, at 507 Daisy St., Goldsboro, the address where she has lived for seventeen years. Sarah Jane has taken an active part in the SA activities during her four years spent here. In her soph omore year she served as a mem ber of the Devotional Committee and the next year advanced to be come chairman. In her junior year she also had a part in “The Lady Who Came To Stay.” During her senior year she has served as a marshall and member of the li brary committee. Sarah Jane has held several homeroom offices. Bowling, going to camp, “any thing to eat,” and travel are the main things that come under her likes. As to the travel part, on dif ferent trips, Sarah Jane has been to California, New York, and most of the forty-eight states. When questioned about her dis likes, Sarah Jane couldn’t think of a thing except snobbish people. Sarah Jane is one of the few who have decided what to do upon graduation—to'go to Guilford Col lege and become a religious edu cation worker is her ambition, and we wish her all the luck in the world.' His favorite amusements are sports and music. (He likes danc ing, eating, and women, too.) Gary Cooper and Ingrid Bergman are his favorite screen stars, with chpcolate pie ranking first in the food list. His only dislike is for our school to be beaten in an athletic con test. To be a professional baseball or football player is his ambition. Freddie has not decided • definite ly where he is going to college (maybe U. N. C.) but wherever he goes and whatever he does, we know he’ll make good. TKis Feature Was Almost Not Written (By Marilyn Tolochko) Have you ever tried to write a feature? Well, believe me, it’s no easy job. Once a month we have to write one. I suppose that night sound fairly simple to you. Y,ou can tell us that many people write ferture columns for newspapers every day, so why can’t we do it once a month? But, honestly, it isn’t that simple at all. For the past few days and nights I have racked my brain (what little I have) continuously fOr a topic for my feature. Hundreds of things have come into my mind (that’s what I call it) but have rushed right out again. I have thought up every conceivable sub ject possible for me to think up but nothing has come of any of them. I suppose I’m one of those people who has to have an inspi ration in order to write, but I’m beginning to wonder if it will ever come to me. I guess I’m just a hopeless case For anyone can see that I have ended up writing exactly what 1 started out writing—nothing. Francis Babbles... TO ALL TO WHOSE PRESENCE THIS MAY COME, GREETINGS. Can You Take It? “He’s been from kindergarten through college twicer but re- fute$ to graduate ^til hU Reynolds Rocket pen needs refilling P* Are you in a rut? Are you blue, lifeless, ignorant, and not hep to the latest gossip in and around school? If so, just talce a gander at this column and see what hap pens. If you are not satisfied, see me for further details. Gaynelle Saults sure has sur prised all if us. We didn’t know you had a steady boy friend over seas and you’re practically mar ried. But, as the saying goes, “Live and Learn,” but you shouldn’t have held out on us like that, Sweetheart! Luck to ya, Pete Whitley. Peggy Pierce is also another gal that has been getting around. What about this, Robert Boyette? Jayne Grant is shining a new r^ng around. Could it be the one you got for Christmas or was I minisformed! What goes with you two, Eddie? Huh? Why is it that Hazel Fields is going to Ac|amiiviUe! I believe she left her heart at Gaynell’s house with her brother! Am I right, Hazel? Herman Vinson is wanting to date a little girl in grammar school. Is that little Rosser girl all that cute, Herman? She’s got a cute sister, anyway. Malcolm Savage staying on the telephone for hours at a time talking to his girl. Could she live in Adamsville, Malcolm? Or are we guessing wrong? I think Paul Edmundson has ^ gal in Mt. Olive! So you finally broke over, huh, Paul? You should-a done it a long time ago! Isn’t that what you say, Elaine Casey? Sam Lynch has a secret admir er—why don’t you give Jo Ann a chance, Sam? She’s a swell girl. Ruth Shaver happens to be cor responding with an out-of-town boy. Bill Gill, I heard his name is. Bring him to Goldsboro, Ruth! Love to meet him if he’s all we’ve heard. But wouldn’t we aU? Last month my column was really broken up—so if anybody wants to know, “In My Opinion” was part of “CAN YOU TAKE IT?” So of course, we’ll take all the credit. Isn’t it too bad we can’t give it to someone else? But no can do . . . Right? Right! 'Johnny Alexander came to see Leah Lloyd during the Christmas holidays. We’re glad to hear that, ‘cause you two make a cute couple. Only Leah Lloyd, be true to him . . . That is, if you can. Bill Davis has been running af ter a cute little blonde, Joyce Carr. Bill, we didn’t know you had it in you. But we can say she’s getting a swell boy. “Tut” and Kitzi are kicking it off now. What hit “Tut” on the head is beyond me. Why didn’t you start dating sooner, “Tut”? You’re plenty cute^ Huh, girls? What I have been wondering about for a long time has just got ten to my head how to put it . . . Why Don’t You Lone Wolves get (Continued on Page 5) Happy New Year, to you, too. Have you broken all your resolu tions? Well hurry up and do so, so you can join the'happy throng that can make some improve ments next year. Now, down to business. With the ringing in of the new year, a number 'of cases were also wrung out, and some rung in. Among the latter, one will find by careful observation the none other than our own Mi'. Jack H. is toting the torch for Mary Olive. T^his takes very careful observa tion. ‘Boz’ and Kitty are proceeding nicely with their newly discover ed love. Ever^ tho’ Herbert may have been pretending that ht was see ing pink elephants and ‘Harveys’ at Mimi’s party durmg the holi days, he was , obviously seeing twice on a more recent Sunday night when he had made plans for two dates. He says he told one of the concerned parties that he couldn’t get his car and got rid of her. You know who you are. Are you going to let him push you off like that? We notice that the recent cold streak brought out the Eskimo Instinct in some of of our fellow classmates! For in stance we see that William and Jane (both S’s) were walking down the hall all enveloped in each other with that longing “to- rub-noses-with-you” look. Paul Edmundson’s theme song seems to be a new version of an old song. His interpretation, “I’ll take you Home Again Eileen.” ‘Tut’ spends the best part of second lunch period conversing with Kitzi. It seems that in Tut’s opinion it is really the best part of the period. We have been asked to find out if Joe B. still loves Barbara H. as he used to. What about it Joe? Main question of the day: “Will Mary Ann’s theme song be “Sat urday Night Is the Loneliest Night In the Week” until Ottis comes back? A number of our sophisticated seniors really enjoyed having company for the GE House of Magic show. Especially Leonard F. We just couldn’t get him away from ‘Boogie.’ I have just received word that a new title has sprung up from the sociology class. To wit: Carl C. and Catherine R. are now call ed the love-birds of the sociology Eleanor Brown was given a fine treat the other day when R. L. G. made a special trip to Miss Willis’ room just to see her. And I don’t mean Miss Willis. At last we have a REAL case coming from the freshman class, that is, the boy is from the green- ies. The case and the subjects are Mimi Weil and JuHan Hill, That rhymes doesn’t it? Hill, Weil. At present it seems that.jn his opinion she is a hag , . . and he in hers “$$$-$$($**”. But remember this John J. Stanley says. “True smooth never runs love” Kenneth F. and Jerry S. are still at each other’s neck. They are each trying to win the ad miration of a certain Ann H. ’Tis a bit foolish to be at each other*s neck boys. Can’t you find an other line (neck) that w'il carry more persuasion than that? Can a once discarded case be renewing itself? Leah L. and Os car are back in the stage of sit ting and just gazing at each other. Could it be? Well, gopdbye, until next time. Yours truly, Frances Babbles Joy Notes We wish to express our sincere thanks to the following people: 1. Mrs. Yelverton and the boys who play records in the cafeteria during lunch periods. 2. The first semester SA Coun cil for their most dependable work. 3. Invitation Committee for their work in selecting a good in vitation for GHS.
