Page Tout GOLDSBORO HI NEWS Friday. January 20. 19S0 LEARN TO STUDY Will you have a foiir average at the end of this quarter? li not, will you be so far below that you cannot make up before the end of the year? Your teachers can tell you how you stand and what you need to make up. At any rate, eariy recoignition of the facts will make it more likely you will and can do some thing about it. It is not too late for better study methods. Certainly, unless there is some change in a sti;^(ient’s situation which will contribute to bet ter work, there will be no change this quarter from the last quarter. ANNUAL REQUIRES TOIL This year the senior class is again sponsoring an annual. To publish an annual calls for much hard work—outside school time. Many hours are put into this. The staff for the 1950 Gohisca is striving to publish a new, original and larger annual. It’s purpose is to please, not only the seniors but ev ery student and teacher in G. H. S. Plus hard work and loss of sleep on the work er’s part—the job cannot be done without the proper support from everyone concerned. Thus far, the staff has found no financial dif ficulties but something can always happen to throw things off schedule. Your support by purchasing an annual will keep this year’s staff free from difficulties and will help the senior class of next year be left a larger amount of funds to begin work on their annual. WE HONOR SUPPORT BASKETBALL TEAM You can count them on one hand! No, we don’t mean fingers. We’re referring to the spec tators i^t Goldsboro High School basketball games. This team is having a far from unsuccessful cage season. The boys are playing good basketball and their opponents are top-notch, all of which points to the fact that there will be some exciting hoop contests this winter. We are aware of the fact that it takes an out standing team to win a championship. Ability, endxarance, and hard work are what it takes to put a gold cup into a trophy case, but one more thing is required—this is team support. Certain ly a team gets no incentive to play championship ball if it is playing before an empty house. Golds boro produced one of the best football teams it has had in years during the past gridiron season and we firmly believe that the Goldsboro Basket ball team could hang up an equally impressive record providing they had a few more voices to root ’em on. Why not give the Quakes a fair deal and really turn out for the next game? Goldsboro Hi News Published twelve times a year by the journalism class of Goldsboro High School, Goldsboro, N.

DONT FALL DOWN Ashton Thomas Griffin, III When the 1950 Gohisca comes out, the students of Goldsboro High School can attribute a large portion of the success of the pub lication to the. one person in high school whose idle time is not idle at all but is spent,think ing up some other worthy cause to help. Since his freshman year, Ash ton Thomas Griffin, III, has been as busy* as his name is long. When he first entered the front door of the school, Ashton had stamped himself as being a per son to watch by being the only member of the class of ’50 to be come an active member of the Goldsmasquers. Ever since then, he has centered his work in school around the drama organ ization but has by no means con fined his activities to that one group. After appearing in the junior Christmas program “Bethlehem Road ’ his freshman year, Ash ton expanded his Goldmasquer activities to include “The Shep herd’s Song,” “Our Town,” and “Nothing But The Truth” his sophomore year. That same year, he proved to be an inval uable member of the company which appeared in the New York state drama festival by leading a discussion group for the bene fit of the directors who were present at the festival. His work as advertising manager of the Goldmasquers had given him a good background in this and he was held over as ad manager his junior year. In his junior year, Ashton be came a member of S. A. council and was elected to represent Goldsboro at the State Student Council meeting held in Hender son. He was nominated by the Goldsboro group for president of the state organization and large ly on the strength of a cam paign skillfully directed by Ben- nette Daughtry, was elected with little opposition. Besides being president of the NCSCC, the popular senior was also parliamentarian of his class, photo editor of the 49 Gohisca and a member of Quill and Scroll. His membership in the National Honor Society entitled him to attend the state NHS con vention held in Lenoir last spring and when the summer months rolled around, he was a delegate from North Carolina at the National Convention of Stu dent Councils. He continued his stage experi ences by appearing in “The Shepherd’s Song”, “The Tavern,” and “The Willow and I.” Thus far this year, Ashton has found time to become a member of the Men’s Chorus besides serving as editor of the annual and business manager of the Goldmasquers. His scholastic achievements have placed him in the top ten, scholastically, of the class of ’50 but he was forced to resign his position as a mar shall because of other activities. Getting away , from school work, it soon becomes evident that Ashton is considered a val uable member of the community because of his Eagle rank in the Boy Scouts of America and the respect that is accorded him by the business men and women of For several years now many of the students here at school have been corresponding with Ger man students of the school we adopted in Stutt gart. They have sent packages, post cards, let ters, magazines and other things that would be of interest to each other. Last year the whole school sent a package to the school in Stuttgart and we have just recently received one from them. But it seems now that we as individuals are falling down with our letters and packages. There is no reason for this, though, because now more than ever we must feel the responsibUity of writ ing to those who need us. THE MAD RUSH Elizabeth Jane Barbee Although she’s originally a Yankee, she has made her mark in the south. Elizabeth Jane Barbee was born in Chester, Pennsylvania, on January 27, 1932. She arrived in Goldsboro at the age of 2. Betty has brown hair and blue eyes. One of her outstanding features is her extra long eye lashes. Her favorite foods are fried ham and anything chocolate. She’s one in a thousand who doesn’t like chicken. Gene Kelly.and Jane Powell are her top ranking cinema char acters. Having studied music for four years, Betty is a very tal ented musician. She likes to spend her spare time playing the piano. “They Didn’t Believe Me” and “Clair de Lune” please her best in the song line. Draw ing also takes up a great deal of her time. Along with music, Betty is talented in art. Base ball is her favorite sport. Betty is a marshall, secretary of the Senior Class, Chairman of the Board of Elections, Busi ness Manager of the Hi News, a member of the French Club, and Co-Art Editor of the 1950 Gohis ca at the present time. She was ■a Goldmasquer during her Soph omore year and designed the stage setting for “Nothing But the Truth”. During this year she wrote the skit for the Fresh man initiation and served as a member of the Board of Elec tions. She was in the Future Homemakers of America her first two years at G. H. S. Betty was on the Junior-Senior pro gram both her Freshman and Sophomore years. In her Junior year, Betty serv ed on the Devotional Commit tee and worked on her class’'Ju nior-Senior by serving the Dec oration and Invitation commit tees. She was on the Hi News Staff as Exchange editor for two years before moving to the po sition of Business Manager. She is a member of the Quill and Scroll and attended the Colum bia Scholastic Press Convention in New York City as a Hi News delegate. Betty worked on the publici ty committee and helped out on registration during the N. C. S. C. Congress recently held at G. H. S. Plans for the future as to date aren’t very definite for Betty. She hopes to attend College-at W. C. She will study either art or Journalism. We wish you the best of luck in whatever you un dertake, Betty. May the best of success be yours throughout your life. Ring goes the lunch beU, out dash fifty stu dents all trying to beat one another to their places in the lunch line. They run as hard as they can, pushing, shoving. In through one door they all try to go. This kind of conduct is very dangerous and should be stopped but still the mad rush goes on. Little does one realize that in the course of this stampede someone could be seriously hurt. You might laugh and joke and say that if you do get hurt you have accident insurance. But this insurance doesn’t take care of the pain of a broken limb. The students must realize the importance of cutting out this mad rush at lunch time before it is too late. It won’t hurt a person to walk and take a little bit more time to get to lunch for it might save him a bad bruise or some other pain ful injury. the town. Although his love for good food, especially shrimp and steak, is quite well known, it takes a backseat as far as the native Goldsboronian is con cerned when his campaign man ager at Henderson is around. He says that he has no favorite act or or actress, but that he “just likes Bennette.” Ashton’s plans for the future consist of entering Duke Univer sity in the fall and then possibly entering his father’s business. CLUBS NEED SUPPORT Recently G. H. S. Changed its ro^tme con cerning finances. The annual Curtis Magazine Drive was switched from a junior class projMt to a school-wide one. This made it possiWe for all paid Student Association assemblies to be cut out. All programs are now sponsored y the Student Association. All this was very well for the S. A. as a w o , but it has rather handicapped individual organ izations by leaving them no way to raise money through special student assemblies. _ Plans are now underway among the various G. H. S. organizations to launch drives or pro grams in order to make enough ^ the clubs running, allow them to send delegates to meetings and conventions, and to carry out worthy projects. The people in these grou^ are as much a part of the S. A. as im part in extra-curricular activities. They r part to seU magazines and put the drive over so there would be no more said assemblies. It’s up to the student body to unite itseit ana get behind G. H. S.’s clubs. Help carry over their plans to support themselves. You’ll be proud at you did your part to help make theu- achieve ments possible. BAND PATRON’S CLUB ^ . A big trouble with the majority ^ that we take too many of the good and things about us for granted. One of e things taken for granted by high schoo s u en s is the band. The band' functions at all tooiDau games and at high school and civic para es. e publicity and praise that they receive is a oo little. V * It is not that we don’t appreciate what the band is doing. The truth of the matter is that we more or less think of the band as se f-support- ing. That is far from the truth. It takes quite a large amount of money for equipment, uni forms and traveling expenses. The finances of the band are in a very poor condition, an^ ^ or ganization to be called “The Band Patron s Club has been formed‘to give support to our an ac tivities in finances and other ways. When a little more than a year ago i was an nounced that our high school athletics needed public help, a group of civic minded citizens im mediately took up the cry, called themse ves the Wayne County Touchdown Club, and as a result our high school has one of the finest stadiums to be found at any high school. The citizet^ of Goldsboro are now given opportunity to rally be hind the band. We as students of Goldsboro High School have a big obligation to fulfill in this drive, we must get out and push the band and the Patron s C ub for all we’re worth. The public needs to be ac quainted with the needs of our band and who but the students of GHS should do it? The staff of the Hi News takes the opportunity in this issue to express in stories and pictures its feelings on the band.' They sincerely hope that you, as a student of G.H.S., will take the opportunity to show me band your feelings toward them.
