Episcopal Minister
Conducts First SA
Devotional Of Year
“Brotherhood” was the topic
of the talk given by Rev. John
C. Grainger, of St. Stevens Epis
copal Church, at the first SA de-
i^otional of the year, held on Oc
tober 2.
The glee club, under the di
rection of Mr. John, Thompson,
opened the devotional by singing
“God Ever Glorious.’ The speak
er was then introduced.
Mr. Grainger said that people
of all. denominations believe in
brotherhood. It is his' belief that
that is the key to the problems
of today, and is the one answer
to the world situation.
He asked the question, ‘What
makes you a brother or a sister?”
What makes two people able to
live together in harmony? His
answer was that it is not those
who have the same interests,
ages, and personalities, but those
who have respect, understanding,
tolerance and patience with each
other. He said that there will be
brotherhood only when people
learn to live together in peace.
Mr. Grainger closed his talk
with a prayer.
Florence Bowden, chairman of
the devotional committee, presid
ed over the meeting.

FIRST PLACE
Last year the Hi News was
rated “First Place” by the Co-
umbia Scholastic l^ress Asso
ciation. That’s a fine record
that the staff of the paper is
proud of; but the staff is not
willing to stop there. They
this year to secure an honor
rating.
To do this they will need the
help of every student in
school; and every student can
help. It takes money to oper
ate the paper. Most of this
conies from advertisers; but a
goodly share of it must come
through subscriptions too, if
the paper is to be what the
staff wants it to be.
If every' student will sub
scribe for the paper, this will
help in achieving the goal the
staff is working for.
Make it 100 percent!

Miss Nancy Hinson has acquir
ed two murals for the library on
the subject of the Civil War.
One is a picture of the “Battle of
Bentonville,” the last major bat
tle of the War and the bloodiest
ever fought on North Carolina
soil. The battle was fought in
March, 1865, and the generals
were Sherman and Johnston.
The other is “Neuse River
Bridge,” a painting of the
burning of the R. R. Bridge in
December, 1862.
The library will receive a series
of paintings, by noted American
artists, from the Standard Oil
Company of New York. The
purpose of the paintings is to fa
miliarize students with the crea
tive talents of American artists.
The paintings are reproductions
of the originals. The artists rep
resented are Robert Benny,
Thomas Benton, Adolph Dehn,
Ernest Fiene, Frank Mechau, and
George Schreiber.
Listed below are a few of the
new selections of books in the
library. The girls should enjoy
“White Caps,” a story of the
nursing profession by Victor Rob
inson, and “Three Came Home,”
an adventure story about the
Far East, by Agnes Newton
Keith. For the boys there is
‘Home Country” by Ernie Pyle,
‘The Modern Wonder Book of
Ships” by Carlisle and Nelson, and
“Famous American Athletes of
Today” by Gordon Campbell.
Boys or girls equally will enjoy
“Your Manners are Showing” the
handbook of teen-age know-how,
by Betty Betz, “Experience in
Journalism” by Lyons E. Carna
han.
The Goldmasquers, the largest
organization in GHS, again takes
the lead in radio work by organiz
ing a county-wide school news
broadcast known as “Wayne
County Slate Notes.”
Last year this program includ
ed only the Goldsboro schools
but this year it will include news
from Mount Olive, New Hope,
Brodgen, Belfast, Grantham, Eu
reka, Fremont, Pikeville, Seven
Springs, Rosewood, and also the
Goldsboro schools.
During the year’s broadcast
guest reporters from these schools
will appear with the Goldmas
quers Radio Workshop, thus
bringing a closer unity between
the Goldsboro and all the^ rural
schools.
With this organization of
Wayne County schools, Goldsboro
high school again takes the lead
in the educational radio program
in North Carolina.
