PAGE FOUR GOLDSBORO HI NEWS February 16,1949 Support Hi News Shop Students have been asked to support the “Hi News” many times, but has the “Hi News” shop even had the complete backing of the G. H. S. students? The “Hi New's shop is located across from Miss Carolyn Langston’s room on the second floor. It opens about 8:30 every morning and closes at five minutes until nine. This gives the students time enough to buy all the supplies before school starts, and it is very convenient for those w^ho run out of school supplies at the last minute. The “Hi News” shop is for the conveni- encies of all students and teachers, and needs the support of all. Remember to buy all school supplies from the “Hi News” shop. Brotherhood New Plan Works At a recent assembly of all boys in G. H. S. the conduct of the boys was dis cussed. This assembly, called and led by mem- beis of the Varsity Club, emphasized smok ing and ungentlemanly language- It was decided by the boys to put a permanent stop to the bad conduct, including smoking and vulgar language. The effects of the assembly can al ready be observed. It has not been neces sary for a single person to be brought be fore the Varsity Club or pi-incipal for any f)f the previously mentioned misdemenors. We believe the students are sshow’ing a fine attitude and are co-operating to the fullest extent to make the standards of our school even higher. A good job is being done by the student body and the Varsity Club You Are A Model Have you ever stopped to think that to someone you’re an ideal? To someone you may not even know, you’i'e a symbol, a symbol of what they’re growing up to be. It may be a younger brother or sister, an under classman or maybe just a child in the neighborhood. Just think when you do the things you do every day whether they’re good or bad, that somebody may copy you later. Think of the people you look up to and how you try to be like they are. You don’t want someone to stiay off on the w'long path just because of you— * So remember — someone’s watching you Are you worth watching? What is brotherhood? Brotherhood is giving to others the rights and respect that we want for our selves. This definition rests squarely on the basic principles of religion and is the prac tical expression of religion in democratic lifo. Respect for all people should be an essential part of our teachings from 'earli est childhood. Therefore, we must made certain that our children will believe in equality and brotherhood if we want them to practice it. The spiritual concept of brotherhood, “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as theyself,” is the potential unifying force of our war- shattered world. If people did love their neighbors as themselves, we would not have war, murder, robbery, and ntThierous ocher crimes. Our American democracy is based on this great religious teaching. The fore fathers of this country proclaimed that “all men are created equal, that they are en- dow'ed by their Creator with certain un alienable Rights . . We are born with these rights. No one can give them to us 01 take them away. No person should be denied them. Brotherhood, moreover, is a personal thing. It is a matter of relationship be tween people. It involves our attitudes, what we think and feel about other’s, as well as our actions. If w'e are to be religi ous and true to American ideals, we must practice brotherhood; we must give to others the rights and respect we want for ourselves.

College Work Is Hard Did you have the pleasure of talking to aiiy of the college students while they were home? I talked to some of them and they gave me a very important message to all high school students, especially the seniors. Most of the students in G. H. S. are al ways complaining of how much w’ork they have to do, but if they could have heard these students, they would be very thank ful for the very lenient schedule in G.H.S. Not a single one that I talked to said that they w'ere having an easy time. They are having to study until the wee hours of the morning and still all of them are not pass ing. Don’t wait until the last minute to do all your w'ork; start now wkile you are Freshmen for this is where your record starts. If you wait until you are a senior to start doing your studying it is likely to be too late- When you try to get in college and your grades don’t quite make it, you then realize what a fool you’ve been. You can always see your mistakes after it is too late and unfortunately, life is not ar ranged so that you can go back and undo your past, so take it from a forborn senior who has learned the hard way, and start now to do your best each day, not wait until it’s too late. Carolyn I^oftin Our girl honoree for this is sue is the “Goshisca” editor, Carolyn Loftin. Carolyn was born here in Goldsboro on September 10, 1931 She has been in many activi ties while in Goldsboro High school and has held many re sponsible posts. During her freshman year she was on the War Activities Board; her soph omore year, she served on the Community Service Committee. While she was a junior, she was on the Building, Grounds and Hall Committee and was chair man of the same committee that year. While Carolyn has been in high school she’s missed the honor role only one time Nice going, Carolyn. This year she is Assistant Chief Marshall and is also in the National Honor Society. She’s worked with the Goldmas- quer’s on “First Lady,” “The Land Is Bright,” “Life With Father,” “Nothing But the Truth,” “Brief Candle” and nu merous other productions. Guess what her favorite foods are! Well, she’s not particu lar—in fact, she says she eats most anything put before her. She does kinda have a weak ness for fried chicken though. Bill Elliott William Henry Elliott, III, is the boy “W’e Honor” for this month. Bill was born on April 31, 1930, at Norfolk, Virginia. He moved to Goldsboro in 1936. In his first year at G. H. S. he went out for Junior football. During his second year he went to Staunton Military Academy. The next year he came back and entered tiie 11th grade. During his Junior year he was elected Senior class presi dent. He is a Goldmasquer and played in the Goldmasquers New York production, “First Lady.” He is also a radio con trol operator in radio broadcast ing. There are none better says Bill, than Lana Turner and Gregory Peck. He liked “Green Dolphin Street” a lot too. His favorite dessert is apple pie a la mode. Bill plans to go to the Univeis.ty of North Caro lina where he will study medi cine. Valentine Day Recalls Youth W'hen I think of Valentine’s Day I remember how we used to „ . celebrate, it back in the first, sec- Her favorite movie stars are end and third, grades. Dana Andrews and Jane Wy man and her favorite song is "So Tired." Her pet peeve is— grouchy people. Carolyn hasn’t decided on what college to attend but we are sure she’ll make good in anything she does. Time Is Valuable TIME—all the days there have been and ever will be; the past, present, and future—most valuable possession of man. Perhaps you look back into the past and realize how much time has slipped from your grasp, which you will nevei realize any benefit from. The past fade? into the present and future. FiVery second, minute, and hour of the present and future hold something in store for you. You may not find any value in the da.ys >'ow' or to come if you w aste your time and do not make the most of it. “Time waits for no man,” and we be lieve as Benjamin Franklin: “Do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of. 7 Years Ago Are You Satisfied! Are you satisfied with your grades? Now that report cards have come out have you decided to forget your parents signa ture or carry them home? l.ater on in life you will regret the fact that you loafed through High School for your grades may depend on whether or not you attend college. So take a little dvice from us and get to work th(ise next two quarters and bi ing up those low’ grades.
