Page Foux GOLDSBORO HI NEWS Friday, February 10, 1950 ASSEMBLY CONDUCT Are you responsible for the poor conduct in the assem'blies lately? We, in G. H. S. are very fortunate in having as many fine programs as we do. They are well planned, and the speakers are interesting, but the conduct is poor. Perhaps we aren’t always concerned with the message being delivered but, for the benefit of those who are is it necessary to be continually knocking on the person next ot you, moving all around in your seats, scuffling your feet, chewing gum,; laughing and making unnecessary noises? These and other disturbances may be enter taining, but they prove to be very annoying to the speaker. It isn’t easy to speak before 650 people under normal conditions, espesially when these annoyances occur. Remember “in order to get, you must give” so in order to gain something from the assemblies we must give our mind and attention. We’re supposed to be grown-up—why don’t we begin right now and prove it!!! WE HONOR FOREIGN SCHOOLS NEED AID Can you spare a few minutes? If so,'you can help a world-wide cause. You can do your part to make this world a better place in which to live. How? Its easy to see that to have dollars we must first secure pennies. So it is with world peace and friendship. To have friendship between, among and within nations, we must begin with friend ships between individuals. That’s where our part comes in. GHS is fortunate in being one of the few schools in North Carolina to be affiliated with schools in a foreign country. We are becoming familiar with the ways of students in both a boys’ and girls’ school in Stuttgart, Germany. Last year, boxes and letters were sent to these schools. In return we have received boxes con taining articles of great interest, many of which were hand made. Although what we got is nei ther elaborate nor expensive, it proves that the students and teachers in these German schools wish to be friends of America, to know more about our country and our people. All of us can’t send separate, helpful gifts to these people but we can write them a letter. We can begin a cor- respondenec with a German “pen-pal” which will be valuable in presenting ideas and information and will furnish a section of the foundation of friendship and understanding which is so essential in today’s world. Or if we already have a pen-pal in another country, we can make it a personal goal to answer each letter we receive, sending as much inforation and hews about America and Americans as will satisfy inquiries of foreigners and seeking facts for ourselves, however trivial, about the homes and lives of those who make up the world.

When you begin to add up what Skip has done since en tering G.H.S. there’s rather a long list to compile. Ranking at the top of his class in scholastic achievement, Karl became Chief Marshall for ’49 and ’50. After being tapped into the National Honor Society his junior year, he was awarded later on in the year the distinction of becoming State president of this organiza tion. Skip is manager of the Goldmasquers Radio Workshop, and is very active in this particu lar organization. Being chair man of the Honor System Com mittee keeps him busy listening to the pros and cons of the hon or system! As Youth chairman of the Wayne Polio Drive, Skip has also done a wonderful job. Karl began a stage career that any high school student could be proud of. In his sophomore year he appeared in “The Well Remembered Voice.” Last year he was seen in “The Swan”, ‘Out of This World”, and “The Willow and I”. In his senior year he has had parts in “All My Sons” and of course “Ramshack le Inn”. Radio is one of Skip’s many interests. Besides being mana- gfr of the Goldmasquers Radio Workshop he has been heard on Furh radio abows as “The Signai Man”, “Ona Special for Doc”, T1 e Comc-Back”, and the “Un cle Jim BiMe Story Seri--'s” Speaking of ic'dio, when y-u turn your radio dial to WGBR and you hoar a deep masculine i.”ce, well, :t ;s our b.",y honoree. In his spar.> tjr.e, whi';)i happtno to be out of school hour.i, he an nounces for the local radio sta tion, pie. Basketball and football rate as his favorite sports. Ingrid Berg man leads with his vote as top actress, and Bob Hope has his preference on the group of male actors. Karl’s ambition is to be a di rector of dramatics or enter the ministiy. Whichever you choose. Skip, we’re sure you’ll be a suc cess. Florence Earl Bowden A real southerner who hails from Atlanta, Georgia, is Flor ence Earl Bowden. She was born there in 1932 on the 24th of August. Before coming to Goldsboro, she lived in Greens boro, Raleigh, Charlotte, and Washington, N. C. She came to Goldsboro, began her freshman year by serving on the devotional committee and became chairman of it in her sophomore year. Also during her sophomore year, she was class editor of the 1948 Gohisca. She has been a Goldmasquer for three years and served as secre tary her junior year and is now business manager. Florence has really shown her talent in dra matics and radio. She was di rector of the radio show, “Uncle Jim” and appeared in “The Story of Silent Uight” in her junior year. She appeared in such plays as ‘The Shepherd Song”, “The Tavern”, and “The Willow and I.” As a senior, she was in the ra dio show, “The Missouri Story.” Also during her junior year, Florence was co-chairman of the social committee, a Spanish club member and she served on the decoration committee of the Ju nior-Senior. The greatest honor bestowed on any high school student was bestowed upon Florence in her junior year when she as tapped into the National Honor Society. She is now serving as secretary of the N.H.S. Also she is Marshal, chairman of the foreign schools committee, and associate editor of the 1950 Gohisca. She was one of the ten G.H.S. seniors to be included in the 1949-50 High School register. Esther Williams and John Wc'yne are her favorite movie -?tars and steak and pecan pie rank first on the food list. Florence plans to further her 'jducation at Woman’s College in Greensboro. Whatever she undertakes in her future life, we are s^re she will succeed. We wish you the best of luck, Florence, and may you do as well as you have at Goldsboro high. WERE YOU THERE? Were you there when the game started? Or were you there at all? The basketball team' needs your support at the games, to help back them up. We can have a winning team this year. Don’t you want to be proud of them so you can say they belong to us? Do you feel that you could brag about them if you were not there to support them? Let’s all attend the next game so that when some one says to you, “Were you there?” You can proudly say “yes”. SUPPORT CLASS TEAMS When intramural basketball was started in G. H.S. last year, most of the students were in terested and participated in the games. ^ the season progressed, more and more students began to drop out and consequently, more and more games were lost by a forfeit. This year its an other story. The games are being played with full teams and everyone is cooperating to make this season of intramural basketball a success. Good sportsmanship is being shown by both player and spectators who have turned out won derfully to watch their class play- Trophies will again be awarded to the best boys’ and girls’ team this year. If the sportsman ship spirit that has been displayed is kept alive, it will be a big race for every contestant in the running for the trophy award.

This record is just what YOU make it. You can’t go back over it and change anything about it, It stands just as it is. Written in the records are your grades and conduct for four years. This record will be es pecially valuable to those who are not planning to attend col lege, for it will be their last school record. It will either be a selling card or a hindrance for you in the business world. If you’re a freshman, then the record lies before you clean and empty. Keep it clean. If you’re a senior, it’s too late to change it, but if it’s already bad, you can’t afford to make it any worse. What sort of a reference will your record be? It’s all up to i you! ESSAY REQUffiES THOUGHT “OH, do you HAVE to write one?” Surely sometimes during the last month you’ve heard this particular question. Of course, the “one” re fers to the World Peace essay required from each G. H. S. student. A great deal of time has been given for the movies and talks on this essay topic for the past few weeks. Much good material has been pre sented in different and interesting ways. Now the time for our essays completion is very near at hand. Our ideas, opinions and suggestions are to be written down for others to share. We have no conception of how very fortunate we are in having the privilege of expressing our own opin ions of world affairs and not being told by a dic tator how to think. Our freedom of speech is one of America’s possessions which we wish the entire world could share. The least we can do is use and pre serve this freedom in our own ways to present its opportunities in all possible methods. If you haven’t already finished your World Peace essay, get down to work in earnest. Put your visions of world peace and security not just on paper. Put them in your heart to stay. ESSAY WHX HELP FUTURE Every student is required during the month of February to write a theme concerning the re sponsibility of the United States in the U. N. and in the Atlantic Pact. The purpose of this theme is by no means solely to give high school students practise in the art of writing. Every student is re quired instead to write this theme so that he may obtain some knowlege of the most impOTtant problem facing the world today. The problem: How may we secure a lasting world peace. This problem is a very grave one, and the question arising in the minds of many of us is: What can we do about world peace? We cannot do it alone. Each student in Goldsboro igh School, and every student of every throughout the world must work toward this. This problem requires our minds to be tree of hatred and prejudice. It requires that we acquaint ourselves with the structures of the U- the Atlantic Pact. This is the purpose behind toe compulsory theme coritest sponsored by the Goldsboro Jay Cees. During the month of February studen s of GHS have a great opportunity to fami larize themselves with the U. N. The High School stu dent of today will be the voter in just a few short years. From this theme each student shoul now what it is possible for the United States o o m the matter of world peace. It is vitally important for each student an interest in world affairs. Each student should work for all he’s worth to put his f peace across to his friends and parents, o i student should know that the plan he is working for is right. This is the reason every ® should take full advantage ofthe information ob tained while writing his theme. Let this theme be a background your knowledge of world affairs, and add o this knowledge day by day so that when you are eligible to vote, you will be able to yourself which candidate will further the cause of world peace.
