PAGE FOUR GOLDSBORO HI NEWS Thursday, April 21 Goldmasquers Are Good Lovers of theatre drama in Kinston were entertained in royal fashion at the Grainger High School here Friday night by the Goldsboro High School Goldmas quers, who presented their fourth annual touring play, "Out Of This World,” under auspices of the Kinston Business and Pro fessional Women’s Club. Upwards of 600 persons turned out for the fine amate'ur performance. The Goldmasquers have attained state, regional, and national recognition since tAiey were organized in 1942. They are di rected by Clifton Britton and are com prised of all high school students who are interested in any phase of the theatre, make-up, costumes, and produces from four to six full plays yearly. The group makes its own props, scenery. The supporters of this young people's theatre find it has unveiled hithei-to un known talents in students and provided an energy outlet that has curbed juvenile delinquency while it brought to Goldsboro wide recognition for the high type enter tainment it has provided. The Free Press congratulates the Gold- masquers on the fine work they are doing with young high school students who are theatie-minded. Tlie Business and Profes sional Women’s Club could not have brought a more wholesome spring attrac tion to Kinston than Friday night’s rendi tion of ‘Out Of This World.’ We hope it will not be long before we are privileged to see another production by this fine group of young people. —KiiMton Daily Fre« Pre*» Seniors Are Busy The members of the senior class will have their hands full from now until the end of the year. Besides the regular school work which must be done there will be many extra-curricular activities, 'fhe sen ior play, varsity club dance, senior essays, and many other events will take a lot of work on the part of the beard some people express the belief that our school work will be neglected and bad trades will be the result. We believe that the senior class can and will ke'ep up with their school woik as well as extm-curricular activities. The senior class has proved its worth befoie and we are certain it will finish the year with one of the best records a class has ever left in G. H. S.

At last it seems that some one has been able to drum up some interest in the towns people in relation to the athletics carried on out here in Goldsboro High School. The ‘Touchdown Club’ which was formed largely through the effoi-ts of Fraak Greathouse, is mainly for the pur pose that the name implies—to boost the standing of the football, basketball, and baseball teams of GHS. Mr. Greathouse, who is president of the club, said recently m an article released by the ‘News-Argus’ that the club will be used as a means for on in the high schoool. underwriting the athletic program carried Mr. Greathouse is not even a native of Goldsboro, he merely has set up his busi ness here, and his efforts to raise the standard of attendance for the school out ings against athletic opponents should be thoroughly appreciated by every member of the student body and the supporters of the high school. While it is quite true that he has not done all the work in forming the new club, he has been the driving force. Every one knows that the interest in the GHS athletics has not been so ‘hot,’ either on the part of the townspeople or the present members of the S. A. If Mr. Greathouse’s plan is to succeed, it will need the whole-hearted cooperation of every one of the interested persons and some of the uninterested. It is our duty, as students of GHS and supporters of the ‘Quakes,’ to do everything possible to raise the standard of athletics in our school and bring the spectator interest up to par with the rest of the conference schools and the other teams which the ‘Quakes’ meet dur ing their schedules. Don’t let this plan fail. IVe Honor Don't Blame Teachers! Don’t blame the teachers! Too many of us blame the teachers for our over crowded schedule when it is often our own fault. We wait until the last minute and stay up until the wee hours of the night doing work that has more than likely been as signed for some time. On the night befoi-e the dead line, we try to do a month’s work in one night. We begin and soon we find that our information is inadequate and more research is necessary, but . . . the dead line is tomorrow and it’s too late. Then the trouble begins. We start call ing the teacher bad names and say bad things just because we have waited too late. It isn’t her fault, but she is the only person except ourselves to blame and we wouldn’t think of blaming ourselves. It couldn’t be our fault. When we come up with the assignment not prepared, we are always ready with an excuse of being out with play practice or baseball practice Or anything else that may pass. The trouble is we try to do too much, often neglecting our school work. From now till the end of school let’s all, especially the seniors who are in the home stretch, settle down and keep our book work up. If we find ourselves crowded, let’s stop and ask ourselves is it is our fault before we blame the teacher. Stand On Own Feet The value of being able to stand on their own feet can not be stressed enough to high school students, especially seniors. When they enter college or the business world after graduation, they mu.st make decisions for themselves; mother and dad will not be there to say what should be done. This is a normal step in growing-up, becoming an adult. Upon entering college or offices, they make a wide leap from petty -teen-age worries to questions whose answers may determine the paths of their entire lives. These often have to be d? cided immediately, and mother and dad are not there to help. If a sun'ey were made, we expect that it would be found that a very large per centage of the successful businessmen a^’e the ones who are capable of standing on their own feet and who do so. When the critical times in their careers came, they made the right choices, thus climbing further up the ladder of success. We'as seniors must grow-up. Many of us will be going off to college next and will be more or less on our own. The others w'ho are gclng to have jobs will al so have to make decisions for themselves. The time has come—we must not fail. Janet Smi4fi Who won the medal for hav ing the best speech on 'The United States' Position In World Affairs?” Why, of course, our girl honoree for this issue—Viv ian Janet Smith. In PikevUle on October 8, 1931 one more lil’ girl was added to the population of the big planet Earth. Moving to Goldsboro in January of ’45 helped her to get situated for the work and fun at GHS. When asked what activities she engaged in her Freshman and Sophomore years, she re plied, "I had five book subjects both years and all I did was work, just work!” It looks as if she goes in for properties since she was on the committee for the plays, “Brief Candle,” “'Phe Land Is Bright,” “The Willow And I,” and was the chairman and the only com mittee member for the produc tion of "Out of This World.” Joining the Goldmasquers in her Junior year gave Janet the opportunity to appear in the ra dio shows "Legend of Dust” and “One More Free Man.” ‘Going to College?” was the last question asked Janet but the answer was in the negative. She’s coming back to her alma mater to be Mr. Britton’s pri vate secretary. Well, here is luck to you Janet from here on out and just keep up the good work.

Kenneth William Fulghum, better known as “Fu2zy” came to enlighten our hearts and biighten our smiles on that glorious day, of July 26, 1931. Kenneth stands 5 feet, 6 1-2 inches in his stocking feet!) and registers 155 lbs. on the bathroom scales. Beginning bis high school ca reer (freshman year), he serv ed on the S. A. council, flag committee, and held homeroom offices. The G. H. S. band was fortu nate having Kenneth as its pres ident his Sophomore year. H« with several other students at tended the Eastern Carolina Musical Festival held at Green ville, N. C. He also participat ed in the Sophomore Easter pro gram. He was treasurer of I he Junior class, took part in the skits for the Junipr class play, "Brief Candle.” Served on the committee for the 1948 Career Day, chairman of the refresh ment committee for the Junior- Senior, helped plan the '47 Christmas program, and became a member of the Spanish Club. The highlight of his junior year was serving on the City Board of Aldermen on Student Gov ernment Day. I’m sure the pf*o- ple of Goldsboro profited by Student Government Day. His achievements so far this year as a senior are: Vice presi dent of the Senior class, adver tising staff of the Gohisca, re ception committee, chairman of the Thanksgiving program, serves as 1st lieutenant in the band, helped plan the "parent- student” P.T.A. meeting, sociolo gy trip to Washington, D. C., and is planning to participate in the senior class play, “The Swan." He is also an active member of the G. H. S. swing band, and is honored by being the presi dent 3f the Campus Kids, an or ganization of G. H. S. boys. "Poke” chops and chocolate cake are his favorite ’vittles. His favorite actress is any good looking woman, while “Forever Amber” is his favorite movie. Jazz is "his” kind of music and says he’d rather watch a foot ball game than any other spoj t. When asked what he did with his spare time, he answered 'when I’m not studying. I’m at the art gallery.” His main in terest is the band. Sociology is subject number one with "trig” a close second. Not mentioning his girl friend, but the Dextor Twin Tub ranks first in washing machines. He hopes to graduate and at tend Wake Forest College where he will study for the ministry. If this ain’t possible he will en ter the Citadel with the hopes of being a lawyer. With these high hopes and am bitions we send with him our best wishes. Warning: Leap Year is almost over. Let's make the most it while we can. And in the form U a po*n», w« have—-
