IN NEW BERN TODAY
Siudents at New Bern High
school are still giggling over some
of the items that appeared in
Bruins— a special mimeographed
paper that was circulated on April
Fool’s Day.
Tor example, it was announced
that Professor Elvis Presley would
succeed Mr. Donald Smith as
choral director, since, according to
the spoof sheet, Mr. Smith was in
jured in a stampede between class
es and will be disabled for at least
throe years.
And, in response to complaints
turned in to the principal’s office,
a list of changes to be made at
NBHS was revealed; “In order to
make the students more comfort-
ablo, all rooms will be air condi
tioned. Desks will be replace with
foam cushioned lounges. A stere
ophonic record player will be play
ed in each room. Old-fashioned
water fountains will be replaced

with running soft drink fountains.”
Continuing with its wishful April
foolery. Bruin’s Ruins said that
“several new courses shall be ad
ded— beach bopp, drag racing, and
1001 ways to cheat without detec
tion.”
As for rules governing the
school, the NBHS faculty—accord
ing to Bruin’s Ruins— altered some
of them thusly; “Five hours penal
ty for NOT walking on the grass;
school is to open only one hour a
day; report cards are to be issued
to teachers instead of students; de
tention hall prohibited; no more
homework, tests or exams for
students— this privilege to be re
served only for teachers; any ex
cuse is to be accepted by the of
fice; a special reducing class is to
be started.”
Getting away from the make be
lieve to something more serious,
we ivant to congratulate Danny
Stallings for winning this year’s
Civitan Essay Contest. Last year’s
local winner finished third in the
State, and we’re wishing Danny
success in the State Contest too.

“His Majesty’s speech and the
addresses of both Houses came in

in the addresses, in support of so
essential a branch of legislation as

breast of every loyal subject with

and proper measures will not fail

And in the next paragraph. Gov
ernor Tryon tells of the death of
his only son:
“I thank you, nu' Lord, for your
communication of the happy in
crease in their Majesty’s royal fam
ily, by the birth of a princess; an
intelligence that afforded me much
satisfaction, tho’ I received it while
under affliction for the death of
my own son.
"Agreeable tc his Majesty's royal
permission, I shall at the next ses
sion recommend the appointment
of an agent to transact the affairs
of this Province at home and shall
observe in that business the mode
your Lordship prescribes. The ob
struction that has cliiefly prevented
such an appointment is mentioned
in my letter No. 23, which I wish
may be taken into consideration.”
