Gift To Leave
For The School
A water-cooler, a piano, and a
public address system for the gym
are among the suggestions offer
ed for a senior gift to the school.
These along with a' plea for other
ideas were presented to the se
nior class at its latest meeting
but no definite action was taken.
It was announced that a five
dollar fee for caps, gowns and
diplomas had to be paid by each
senior by March 14 and that one
dollar had to be paid for the an
nual by the 21st.
Ann Marlow presented a short
devotion at the beginning of the
meeting. William Ginn, president,
presided.
Boys See Movies
On Armed Forces
At recent assemblies the boys
of GHS saw movies on the armed
forces.
It was not the purpose of these
movies to try to get anyone in
terested in any one branch of the
armed services, but to try to ac
quaint the boys with the prob
lems that they will be faced with
when they go into the service.
Some of the problems discus
sed in the series of 14 movies
were “Getting Ready Morally,”
“Getting Ready Physically,” and
“Getting Ready Emotionally.” The
boys saw only eight of this series.
SA President
Extends Thanks
By Billy Gibson
To the many fine people who
helped make our Career Day
possible, the executive board
and I wish to e)^press our many
thanks for the great co-opera
tion you gave us. Had you not
followed the schedule and done
as you were told, our Career
Day would have been a failure
and possibly our privilege of
having such a day would have
been deprived for later years.
We sincerely hope that every
one gained something from the
college and vocational classes
and will be able to benefit from
them at some time or another.
Again I would like to express
my gratitude to all those who
helped make what we believe
was a "Successful Career Day."

he and the journalism students
are naturally happy over the high
rating which the paper received
and they appreciate the efforts of
all who helped to make this rank
ing possible. They especially wish
to thank Mr. Henry Belk, editor
of the Goldsboro News-Argus, and
Mrs. Eleanor Powell, who carried
on the work while Mr. Roberts
underwent a major operation last
fall, and Mr. Elmer Brock of the

operated ot the fullest extent in

Students Are Urged
Carry Paper Home
When the Hi News is delivered
te you what do you do with it?
Do you take one look at it to
see if your name is in it anywhere
and then throw it away or do you
take jt home, read it thoroughly,
and let your parents read it also?
There is a lot of work put on
the Hi News and a large amount
of money spent to publish it for
you. A few students throw their
papers away, they dispose of them
by throwing them down in the
halls or on the nearest table or
chair. Most students, however,
read the paper and then take it
home for their parents to read
or to keep. What do you do?
Parents enjoy reading the Hi
News just as much as the stu
dents. They like to know what
goes on at the school. The assem
blies we attend, the games play
ed and thoughts expressed by stu
dents, give them an idea of how
we feel about our activities.
After you receive your Hi News
don’t throw it away. Read it thor
oughly, then take it home, see if
your parents don’t enjoy reading
it too.
