Page Two Goldsboro Hi News Friday, June 6,1947 Farewell to GHS One hundred and one members'of the Se nior Class of 1947 will end four years in G.H.S. when they graduate June 5. Handicapped by the lack of an upper class and acquiring their high school education during a critical war period, they have had many trials to cope with. Although discouraged in many instances, they have shared many pleasures and joys. Their work has definitely been a part of that function which makes G.H.S. outstanding. For what they have acquired, whether schol astically, or good times, they feel indebted to G.H.S. rtey leave their achievements and many pleasant memories. May G.H.S. continue to grow, and enjoy a successful future. Jack Hauser, Senior Class President. People’s Organization when you get bored, go up and get together with the rest of the club. You know it takes more than one to have a good time, so get together with the crowd and don’t let the Y. P. 0. fail. Then tor another form of good, clean recre ation, baseball is offered. The Goldbugs is an active club which offers a borne game every other game. For those who enjoy baseball, here is good opportunity. Go out and support your home team and at the same time amuse your self and kill two birds with one stone. We also understand that Mr. Jeffrey will again be in charge of a phase of recreation, sports. We suppose that there will also be some sort of dramatic activities for those who are interested, as there have been held during past summers. So,'during this summer let’s not complain, but try to take advantage of the courses offered to us. C. J. Thanks, Juniors Members of the Senior Class of 1947 ex press their sincere thanks and appreciation to the Junior Class, and their sponsors for their enjoyable Junior-Senior. The affair was very pleasant and enter- '"ing. Its success gave evidence of much con scientious effort and hard work. We wish the Class of 1948 continued suc- Jack Hauser, Senior Class President. Make Voting a Habit SA and class elections are over for another year. You have chosen your leaders and they are all good ones. Voting is a privilege. Be sure and use it. The Board of Elections has done all possible^ to make registration and voting a quick and effi cient process. So do your duty; accept your responsibili ty. Be sure that next year you vote. L. L. R. Have a Good Vacation The word “editorial” is usually defined as an article through which a person expresses his opinion. Most of the time the writer utilizes the article to discuss something he thinks needs improving, and to tell the readers what he thinks they should do about it. This editorial is going to be a little differ ent. We are not going to discuss anything we think needs improving upon, but we are going to tell you what we think should be done about something. The days are getting warmer now, and a great many of the conversations are centered around plans for the summer. Everyone’s dis cussing what beach he’s going to, or what he’s going to do here at home. We think this year has been a good one We’ve all worked pretty hard, and deserve a rest. We want to tell you all to have a good vacation, and have a lot of fun. So here’s to a grand summer vacation for all of you! M. T. Need Strict Training Starting June 16, Coach Norris Jeffrey will begin practice for his 1947 football squad. This can be a winning year. But only under strict training rules. From the time we entered high school, the athletes haven’t abided by the training rules set up by the coach. And in four years the highest the Quakes have ended in the confer ence standing js third. Everything has been tried in the effort to put out a winning athletic aggregation, but to no avail. Maybe keeping training rules is the answer. How about it, boys? O. B. WE HONOR School Has Bus Goldsboro Schools have a new passenger bus. It is a major asset to the students of Goldsboro high school, as v/ell as to the prK mary and grammar school students. Trips as a school unit or class can cheaply and safely be arranged and the bus is really of great educa tional value. Already the baseball team, the glee club, Hi News staff, and the sociology class have taken trips on the bus, and the school has had the bus only a few weeks. Just think of the value that GHS will receive from the use of the bus in the coming years. So students, let’s appreciate this bus and show our appreciation by taking care of it. If every individual who rides on the bus will do his share by keeping it clean and in good condi tion during his trip that good “blue and white” bus will be here for many years to serve the students of GHS. NED CHAMPION Our last boy honoree this year is that well known and likeable chap, Edward Douglas Champion; in other words, “Ned.” Ned was born September 18, 1929, in Raleigh. After living in several other towns, he came to Goldsboro in 1944, and began his high school career here as a Ju nior in 1945. That year he was elected cheer leader of his class, and took part in the following plays: “The La dy Who Came to Stay,” ““Gold Is Where You Don’t Find It,” and “Ramona.” He also worked on sound for other plays that were shown his Junior year. He show ed a great interest in the Gold- masquers and served as advertis ing manager for them that year. Keeping up his record of a faithful Goldmasquer he took part in “Seventh Heaven,” “Heaven Can Wait,” and “Our Town” his senior year. Lana Turner and Paul Lucas are Ned’s favorite actress and actor, but give him apple pie and chicken to eat. Bing Crosby and Elliot Lawrence rank tops with Ned for his singer and band. For a pastime he chooses radio and women. Whatta combination ! ! Ned’s going to E.C.T.C. next year, but hopes to^oter Carolina Do your share to help. M. W. Youth Has Obligations So long, readers! This is the last you’ll hear from us, so maybe you can wade through this, the last editorial of our high school career. Many of us complain throughout the summer that there is nothing to do, nowhere to go. Maybe Goldsboro doesn’t have too much for its youth to do, but let’s make use of what is of fered. The citizens get tired of trying to help when their offers go unanswered. The teen-age club of several years ago failed in the end because of lack of interest on the part of the teenagers. Now there is a Young Students Must Lead School’s out! What a world of meaning those two words can hold. Students all over the nation are saying them and looking forward to the weeks ahead. The seniors are leaving high school for good and are going on to other fields of education and work. These seniors have heard, and shall continue to hear it said, that in their hands lies the future of America. The seniors of other schools will join us in our effort to lead the people of the world, in our fight for world peace, and satisfactory world government. Let us then, fellow students, pursue the courses which shall best serve us in the years to come, when we, not our fathers and grandfath ers, shall be the leaders of this great universe. L. P. We Miss Seniors There will be a great number of students who will not be coming back to GHS next year. There will be around one hundred and fifteen seniors graduating. Many of these students will be going to college, while others will go in to different vocations. To these seniors we want to say we are going to miss them, wish them luck, and are sure they will succeed in anything they undertake. B. W. to^ot A MARILYN JOHNSON It was on April 2, 1929, that Marilyn Johnson, our last but not least girl honoree for the year, was born. At the age of six months she left Goldsboro to go to Kenly, where she lived until 1943. Then she returned to Goldsboro to live at the Johnson Homes and enter Goldsboro High School. Aside from her excellent .work as Chief Marshal for two years, Marilyn has proved herself to be a dependable and earnest worker in her various classroom offices. During her junior year, she served on the Junior Red Cross Commit tee. Marilyn’s favorite foods are Washington fried chicken and any thing chocolate. June Allyson and Robert Walker rate as tops on her movie list. Softball is her favorite sport and her two greatest pet peeves are moody and snobbish people. Any type of office .worker is the career that Marilyn has chosen, and we know she will go far in her chosen profession. Best of luck to you! his Junior and Senior years. His ambition is to be a staff an nouncer on NBC. You’ve got what it takes, Ned, and we wish you the best of luck! Here's Looking at You The other night over at our house a bunch of us got into a hot argument and came up with an idea. The confab centered about the question of just what adds up to correct dress. The viewpoints put forth were IS varied as those that crop up at I United Nations pow wow. Bill, who was slopping around in tired ’reen corduroy slacks and a sad blue sweat shirt, declared “comfort IS the thing.” Cliff, who was re splendent in canary colored flan nel pants and a maroon plaid sports jacket, insisted that snappy “color” is the answer. And so it went. It appeared impossible to draw up a blue print of the well dressed young man. Finally Jim, the senior stooge, went out into the hall and came in with the mirror. “Here, you wise guys,” he bawled, “look into this! Each one of you just get a HITS (by Leah Lloyd Rigsbee) Gosh, another school year is over!!!! Some are glad and some, unusual though it may seem, are kind of sorry. For the seniors this is the last year, and glad or sorry, most of them can’t help but re member the wonderful times they have had during their high school days; so in this last issue let’s look back into our old record album and dig out some of the songs we sang, danced to; or maybe just listened to, when we were having those wonderful times. Back when the members of the class of ’47 were just freshmen there were a lot of songs we all remember. “Blue Rain,” “At Last,” “In the Blue of Evening” and “It’s Always You” were dreamy songs that agreed with everyone. Glenn Miller did a superb job on the first two and a new star, Frank Sinatra, did the latter two. That was the year that “I Love You,” “Long Ago and Far Away,” “Star Eyes,” “I’ll Be Seeing You,” “How Sweet You Are,” “Swinging • on a Star,” to name a few, came out. ‘Member “Her Tears Flowed Like Wine” and “Confessing.” El la Fitzger^d did a swell job on those two. “Making Believe,” “Don’t Fence Me In,” “I Dream of You,” “Dream,” “Candy,” “Accent uate the Positive,” “More and More,” ‘Magic Is the Moonlight,” and “Strange Music” were some of the songs that highlighted the class of ’47’s sophomore year. Then in the junior year came “I Can’t Begin To Tell You,” “Honey,” “It’s Been A Long, Long Time,” “11:60 P. M.,” “Oh, Wl;at- It Seemed To Be,” “If I Loved You,” and “Sentimental Journey,” which was left over from the year before and was still going strong. This past year has been full of songs, some sad, some sweet, and just some ! 1 “Symphony,” “This Is Always,” “I’ll Close My Eyes,” “To Each His Own,” “Heartache,” “There Is No Greater Love,” “The Things We Did Last Summer,” “For You, For Me, For Evermore,” “Across the Alley from the Ala mo,” “Red Silk Stockings and Green Perfume,” “This is The Night,” and oodles of others. Of course no list would be com plete without mentioning some of our all-time favorites such as: “Night and Day,” “Stardust,” “I’ll Never Smile Again,” “Begin The Beguine,” April Showers,” “ White Christmas,” and “The Easter Pa rade.” These are just a few of the songs that you’ll associate with your high school days. This is all from me to you ! ! ! ! It’s been fun and I hope that for you every day will be a “Good Day ! ! I” candid close-up of yourself! There’s your blueprint of a well dressed young man!” You should . have heard the whoops and guffaws, as each fel low actually saw himself “as ith- ers see ’im”. When the hilarity had died down, we decided we’d really got something. Since dif ference of opinion is what makes horse racing, why not let each chap state his own case — actually tell the world what he considers to be a “well dressed young man”? And since we know from expe rience that you sluggards won’t exert yourselves except under strong incentive, we have decided to make this airing of your ideas worth while. We will hold an ESSAY CON TEST on the subject — that’s what we will do. And we are go ing to make -substantial awards to the guys who come forth with the best dope. The grand prize for the winning masterpiece will be one of Uncle Sam’s $500 Savings Bonds. No fooling! Of course there is no use start ing this essay contest now, because this is June, and you’.ve all got a bad attack of vacationitis. But just you watch this column next October. We shall then make formal announcement of this con test with full fanfare. Meantime, if you want to get in on it, it won’t hurt you to start thinking about it now. A little mild exer cise of your brain cells may ward off total collapse from the heat during those sizzling days ahead. And, speaking of sizzling, re minds us that it wouldn’t be amiss right here to offer a few modest suggestions on the matter of wear ables which may help your droop ing spirits to cope with scorching sun and wilting humidity. You will want — Slacks and Shirt Suits. Have them in cool fabrics — rayon, lin en, cottons. There are new rayons said to be wrinkle proof which come in light shades, in stripes, checks, plain colors and herring bone patterns. Shorts and Shirt Suits for sports, sunning and beach sprawling. Have them of gay printed cottons, cotton twills, linen and linen,type fabrics. Shirt and Jacket combinations. Shorts and Beach Coat combina tions. Cool Separate Slacks in neutral or high colors, including yellow or mustard tones. Sports Shirts of the “in and out” variety. Tee Shirts in open, porous meSh weaves are great for comfort. For cool weather outings, jack ets and slacks of corduroy or flan nel are a must. At least one suit of crisp, tropi cal material. For this the youth ful one button double breasted coat is quite the thing. No, you won’t have to buy all this regalia brand new. Take a look through your wardrobes and closets. Bear in mind that dry cleaners and laundries are still American institutions maintained for the purpose of prolonging' the Mammoth Mural Made (by Susan Smith) Has anyone visited the journal ism room lately—besides the bud ding journalists, I mean? Well, if you haven’t, you’re missing some thing. On one section of the blackboard is an outstanding mural drawn by F. W. Stanley and Herbert Howell, great artists of this age. Since most of you haven’t seen it, I will try to describe it to you. It depicts a group of crooks try ing to escape from the long arm of the law. On the left is a hooked- nose man falling dead because an other man is shooting him with a cosmic (or some other kind) ray gun. In the background there is a car fleeing from the scene of the crime and a man is standing*on a building yelling “Git chore pro gram!” A fire hydrant is walking down the street followed by a po lice dog. On the right is a police man with feet like Herbert’s say ing,* “The jig’s up.” This really is a work of art and if you don’t believe me, come on down and see it. life span of used clothes and sav ing you money. Then, don’t just flop into any old duds, merely because it’s vaca tion. Pay a little attention to “which” goes -Cvith “what”. It’s a season and a year when you can blaze forth in colors — but don’t go berserk. Select either jacket or slacks in some neutral shade, which won’t shriek “Uncle” when you combine it with a gorgeous ’tother half. Try the mirror trick we men tioned above. If the reflection you see resembles a comic valen tine or a stray from the circus sideshow you are probably overdo ing it. Watch the expression on the girl friend’s face. She doesn’t ensemble bright yellow slacks, a red blouse and green beret. If she almost chokes over that raspberry marshmallow sundae, it isn’t be cause she is overwhelmed by your incandescent magnificence. It is because she is having hysterics at the piebald picture you present. So, in a season of rampant colors, let moderation be your motto. Well, as the small boy says, “What’s nicest about school is va cation.” So, cheerio ’till next fall. . —Joe Brummel.
