Page Four GOLDSBORO HI NEWS Friday, December 16, 1949 Senior Privileges Do j’ou want your Senior privileges when you become a Senior? Naturally you do. Everyone does. It seems to us that after you come to school t,*v'elve years you cer tainly deserve some privileges. There are a few privileges granted us Seniors, and the least that the underclass men can do is to abide by them. We are referring to the matter of underclassmen breaking in the lunch line. Each clavss has a turn and it’s nothing but right to let the Seniors go first. So how about it? Why not let the Seniors have their privileges After twelve years they deserve it. Your chance is coming some day. « Remember Unfortunates We are all getting ready now for the Christmas holidays which we have looke^? forward to for such a long time. Most of us have gotten presents for our friends and families and know pretty well what we want, but how many of us have ever thought once about tho.se who won’t have any Christmas at all—and there are many W'ho won’t. If this year we could all find the true meaning of Christmas and the yule tide spirit it would mean more to us. Every one can do something to make Christmas happier for someone else no matter how small that something may be. Fight T. B. Recently in an assembly Mrs. Fred Har rell explained to the students of G.H.S- whtit we as students could do to . stamp out tuberculosis in Wayne county. Al though we are all students, we could put over the Christmas seal drive in our school she stated. .During tUe past years Goldsboro High School has done little to push the drive over. A few cents p,er student was all that was given. Today W'ith the needs as great as ever we could push G H-S- over its goal of $300.00. We in our home rooms could give more than just a few cent«, but dollars as well. We don’t really know how great the need is until T B- strikes in our homes and then it is too late to prevent having to stay in bed for weeks.

Roberts Adviser Entered ijs second-class matter October 26, 1931, at the postoffice at (Goldsboro, N. C., under the act of March 3, 1879. We Honor Eddie •Si Edward Lee Mitchell, our Christmas issue honoree, made his worldly debut September 26, 1932. The blessed event took place in Corning, New York, wheje "Eddie” lived until the age of six. He then moved to Elkland, Pennsylvania and re mained until 1944 and then Goldsboro received a new citi zen. “Eddie,” as he is better known, bogan his Freshman year by be ing a representative to S. A. council and also the Freshman council. In Eddie’s Sophomore year, he began to receive honors. He became a member of the Latin Club. His class placed the responsibily of Parliamentarian uiK)n his shoulders. Eddie again this year was a representative to S. A. council and to the sopho more council. He also took a part in the Easter program. Ed die’s junior .year was just a be- gmning of his outstanding work in G.HtS. He became a Mar shall, was voted into the Varsity Club and tapped into the Na tional Honor Society. He also started his first year as football manager. The Goldmasquers discovered "P^ddie’s” talent when he appear ed in the Junior class play “The Willow and I.” He made good in French and made the French Club. His senior year is here and he has already started it off with a bang and with time left we are sure he will do more out standing work. Eddie opened his Senior year with “Ramshackle Inn.” When the North Carolina Student As sociation Congress met in Golds boro, Eddie lead a panel dis cussion group. The National Hon- 01 Society goes through this year with him as their president. Not only i.s he president of NHS, but he is first vice-president of i the French Club. Officers seem to be down Eddie’s line this year because he is also Varsity Club treasurer. He has taken an active part in the Goldmasquers throughout his High School ca- reei and this year he is their house manager. The Communitv Scrvice has a very prominent co- chairman yes you guessed it. None other than Eddie. I sup- posu everyone likes football and Eddit truly did. He ended his last year of being manager of the Varsity team. Food is one of Eddie’s favorite and he has a special di.sh he likes. He Hays, “Just give me steak and French fries to eat ano I’m satisfied and while I’m doing that I could look at Lee J. Cobb and Lucille Ball, my favorite actor and acress.” When Eddie graduates, he plans to study medicine or theo logy at Davidson. With what Eddie has .shown Ituth Foreliaiid Combing the qualities or depen dability, service, capability, per- severence, determination, and patience is our girl honoree for this issue. She is Ruth Forehand, born in Goldsboro on September 9, 1932. Ruth began her fresh man year by serving on the com munity service committee and as a class council representative. She also joined the F. H. A. and in her junior year was elected as county reporter for the organiza tion. During the next two j'ears she was a member of the board of elections. • Ruth really began doing out standing work as the third year of her high school career got un derway. Appearing in the junior play, "The Willow and I,” was a great experience for her. When the journalis mclass attended the Scholastic Press Association con vention in New York City, Ruth was right there among the eager students. Being very much interested in journalism, Ruth has served the Hi News in many capacities. As' a sophomore and junior, she was co-circulation manager and co-ad vertising manager, respectively. This year she heads the staff as editor-in-chief. She is a member of the Quill and Scroll Organi zation. Always a willing worker, Ruth was a big help in preparation for the Jr.-Sr. Dance. Ruth is now serving the S. A. as corresponding secretary. She also holds the office of 2nd vice president in the French Club, and is assistant chief marshall. Recently she was tapped into the local chapter of the National Honor Society. As a spectator, Ruth enjoys all sports, though basketball ranks first. Barbecued chicken, steak, and lemon pie are a "must” on her menu and Robert Mitchum is her favorite movie star. Ruth is undecided as to wheth er she will attend college but she hopes to go to Wake Forest and take up journalism. We’re sure she will excel in anything she chooses to do and will make herself worthy of the many honors that are sure to be hei's. us he can do we are sure he will succeed in his future life. We’re all behind you and just keep up the good w’ork. Here’s luck to you! Don’t Get Snooty! Goldsboro has a high school that can equal any in the state. The band is good, the football team made a good showing, the dramatics department has won out- stan(l'\j recognition, and there are vari ous other organizations just as fine. In deed, a student attending G.H.S. has some thing to be proud of, but let’s not let this develop into a superior air. Perhaps w'e do have a lot on our minds and just over look thg fact that there are others going through school besides us and we ought to be more friendly toward them. It doesn’t leave us feeling too well to have someone give us the “brushoff” does it? Of course no one intends to be stuck-up, but fre quently we just forget. From now on let’s all strive to be just a little more sociablt> towards each other. Our school is fine, but what about the atmosphere? Are you doing your part or are you a snob? Back Class Teams It will soon be time for the homerooms to start playing basketball. It takes the cooperation of the whole room to have a winning homeroom team! The members of a team that attend practice regularly are discouraged when a few stay home and it causes the team to have to scratch up substitutes or else forfeit-the game. They stand a chance of losing their schedule for the rest of the year. Then there are some that have to play each game because there aren’t enough interested people in their room so they can haV'e extras. So, come on, all of you! It’s really a lot of fun. Don’t Forget Unfortunate Have you ever seen a small child with his nose pressed against a store window (gazing at the beautiful sights that will never be his? This child perhaps has never experienced a real Christma.s. There are many children in our city who have never been visited by Santa. Jf we, who think we should have so much more, would only see that we are cele brating Christmas in the wrong way. At the beginning of December pe start think ing about and perhaps hinting towards what we want given to us- Most of us are selfish at the time and forget that the Bible says: “It is more ble.ssed to give than to receive ” Usually an organization takes a family and gives it gifts- This helps many children to experience a happy Christmas- The empty stocking fund was created for this purpose- if we as individuals, would take one child and think of many things to make him happy we would probably find our selves the happiest ones on Christmas morning because we gave towards some one’s happiness- Just as the wise inen took gifts to Christ in honor of his birth, we could celebrate this great day in such a •s.piritual w'ay also. Make Use Of Holidays Are you behind in j'our school work? Or perhaps in your outside activities? If so then golden days are ahead for you. When? In the very near future - &hool will be out two full weeks for Christmas holidays. Of course no one M’ants to lug home books and study over a holiday, but, surely in two weeks time things will slow dow^i enough once in awhile to allow a few minutes every now and then in which you have nothing in particular to tJo. That’s when opportunity is knocking at your door. Say maybe half an hour'on three or four separate days spent reading will finish up that next book report that usually is haphazardly thrown together in the late hours of the night before the dead line, or going over some of those theorems or formulas or valences and such won’t take long when you have plenty of time. It’s not like trying to cram everything from five classes into a brain all at once. Spare time can be useful time- Take a. few minutes out during vacation time to catch up on back work or maybe even to get ahead with something you know is coming soon after holidays are over- It won’t hurt you a mite! And who knows, it might turn out to be a life-saver for you wht-n a rusli- time rolls around.
