Goldsboro’s newest recreation
room. The Porthole, got off to an
auspicious beginning Saturday
night. May 6, following the first
performance of “The Return of
The Vagabond,” the Goldmas
quers-Junior Class production.
Designed primarily for the
younger set, that is, the high
school students. The Porthole
was born in the mind of Mr.
Clifton Britton in an effort to
give high school students some
place to go following the produc
tion of a play and after school.
Knotty pine boarding extends
halfway up the wall and from
then on, the wall paper is in a
sea motif featuring pearl divers.
Indirect lighting gives the for
mer storage room an atmos
phere that is not seen in anoth
er place of this sort anywhere
around Goldsboro.
Bar Is Provided
At one end of the room is the
bar where candy and soft drinks
may be secured and within the
room itself are several round ta
bles, painted so as to blend with
the entire color scheme of The
Porthole. Benches of knotty
pine extsnd around the room on
all sid js.
Work on The Porthole was un
der the direction of Mr. Britton
but Buddy Wester of the stage
craft class was responsible for
much of the work done and it
was through his efforts that
much of the work was accom
plished.
