finer communities in finer states.

making the contest a success in Goldsboro.
A total of $8,750.00 will be given in cash
prizes to the towns adjudged Carolina’s Fin
est. It is possible for a town to win $2,000—
one prize of $1,000 for,being the leader in its
population group and another $1,000 for hav
ing the finest town in the whole of the state.
Watch your News-Argus, listen to your
radios, read your Hi News, and glean informa
tion from every source you can and then put
your shoulder to the wheel and help to make
Goldsboro Carolina’s Finest Town.
It can be done!
Idleness Is Dangerous
“An idle mind is the devil’s workshop.”
Have you ever heard this saying? I sup
pose most of you have and it is really true. As
long as a person is busy working or has some
thing to do that keeps his mind occupied he
isn’t plannng some prank or joke to play on
someone else, which is liable to hurt him; nor
is he getting in mischief.
During Career Day we had a chance to at
tend classes concerning three occupations
which we were interested in, and try to learn
more about them in order to make our futures

successful and happy.
All of these were about jobs, but nothing
was said to show us how to spend our leisure
time. We may choose the right job but can’t
we be unhappy and ruin our lives with the
leisure time we have if it isn’t used right?'
Sure, our occupation depends a lot on our
future happiness, but the planning of our
leisure time means even more. So, why on
Career Day couldn’t we have a class or a lec
ture on the use of leisure time? It would sure
ly help some of us even though most people
think they know how to plan their time.
They may know, but their lives are some
times ruined because their planning of time
wasn’t right after all.
Let’s learn how to plan our idle time and
not let the devil use our minds as his work
shop.
Clubs Prove Valuable
The various clubs and organizations at
GHS have important purposes to fulfill in the
life of the school.
It is not easy to define the purposes of all
clubs. It might be said that the purpose is to
promote interest in the specific field repre
sented by the club, to undertake social pro
jects or to prepare its members for the adult
life which they are about to begin.
Clubs promote a cultural interest in the
subject they represent. The language clubs,
Latin, French, and Spanish, all endeavor to
familiarize students with their respective lang
uages and customs of these countries. The
Varsity club and FHA do the same with sports
and home economics and are perhaps one of
the biggest reasons why students participate
in their representative activities.
The DE club is a fine example of a club
working for the benefit of the -entire school.
It takes students who are unable to attend col
lege and places them in jobs where they may
gain experience and progress without a, col
lege degree. Each year th National Honor So
ciety sponsors Stunt Night solely for the pur
pose of giving some worthy senior a scholar
ship so that he may attend college.
Clubs such as we have at GHS are work
ing examples of American democracy. They
have the progressive ideas, ambitions and
charity that have made America a great na
tion. With the large variety of clubs at GHS
we feel that every student should belong to
at least one.
Build Brotherhood
Even though Brotherhood Week has pass
ed, now is not the time to let the,spirit of
brotherhood die.
Brotherhood is a way of life, not just a
word. It represents more than just a thought
to do good or just a spiritual lecture. Brother
hood is no respecter of race, creed or color.
Unless a person’s eyes are closed to differ
ences and self pride there can be no brother
hood.
Now is the time for the youth to step out
and lend a hand toward promoting world wide
friendship and thus we may obtain brother
hood.
What will it be with you, a corrupt world
or a place in which we love our neighbors as
ourselves? Now is the hour to make a wise de
cision as the youth of today and have a better
world for those who may follow in the paths
we have cleared for them.

SitoUing In GHS Halls
By BETTY DAUGHETY
Going up and down these halls
and passing only a few students
can make these journeys mighty
lonesome. So I have Pearline En
nis along to help me see the
sights around school.
We no sooner step out the door
than we see a graduate of a few
years ago. Ashton Griffin dropped
in on us to say hello. He was
home for a few days so he came
to visit his second home.
In passing Miss Janie Ipock’s
room I saw Ann McKenzie with
a few others at the board woik-
ing away on soipething that look
ed like “x” plus “y”. Who ever
heard of anyone trying to add
letters? I guess they can do about
anything nowadays.
Miss Eleanor Simpson must
have taken her students strolling
or to the library as her room was
completely empty. Hope they en
joyed this rest (pardon me) read
ing period.
I passed Billy Allen and Lee
Summerlin in the hall as they
were trying to get into the audi
torium. Wonder if they were strol
ling fifth period also.
Betty Hatton was really typing ,
away until she smelled my candy.
Oh, well, too bad you had to be
in class. Through sign language
I found why she was all smiles.
She had just made 65 words in
typing. That’s good for a first
year student. You should be in
second year to help us along or
should I say out-type us? What
about it, Miss McKeel?
Well, it’s back to class for us
now, so long.

Boys' Musts for Girls' Styles
After taking a poll of more
than fifty boys, a Texas boy re
ported the following are musts
for girls’ appearance and dress::
Make-up: Most boys like, hair
medium length and “its natural
color with a clean and shiny look
and well combed.” They hate hair
dyed or bleached and “hair rolled-
up and a rag tied around the
head.”
School clothes: Comfortable and
appropriate are skirts and sweat
ers, dresses or suits, never slacks
or blue jeans, which are all right
for sports but not for school. Sad
dle shoes and anklets preferable
to stockings. For spring: bright
dresses and sandals. Some boys
voted for toenails bare, others for
toenails polished.
Sports: “Clean, starched, white
shorts with a clean white blouse
and not a tight T-shirt,”
Swim suits: “The average boy
appreciates a girl in a modest one-
piece swim suit, ftot a skimpy lit-

4. Saturday’s Hero — D. C.

7. I’d Climb the Highest Moun

8. They Didn’t Believe Me—I

9. A Place in the Sun — The

All agreed that no matter how
attractive a girl’s clothes, she
never looks well - dressed un
less she carries hereelf well.
Good posture not only makes
a girl’s clothes look well, they
said, but it helps to make people
admire her, and it helps keep her
health too.

WOMEN
Women are like newspapers be
cause:
They have forms;
Are made up;
Have bold types;
They always have the last word;
Back numbers are not in de
mand;
They have a great deal of in
fluence;
They are well worth looking
over;
You cannot believe everything
they say;
They carry the news wherever
they go;
They are never afraid to speak;
They are much thinner than
they used to be;
Every man should have one of
his own and not borrow from his
neighbors.
—Myers Park “Clubber”.
