A!l of us at New Bern High

its many activities, compared with
the limited activities that the same
scli'iol had when our mothers and
failiers were teen-agers.
ll)wever, before we brag too
iiiulIi about our music, our expand
ed athletics, and various other
things, we should remember that
the,e have been made possible by
our modern high school facilities.

us would have accomplished any
more, or as much as our parents
did, had we been crowded into the
Moses Griffin building, and been
deprived of a chance to have a
gymnasium and a wonderful audi
torium.
Can you picture playing basket
ball games in a tobacco warehouse,
where lighting was very poor, and
it was impossible to heat it with
one or two small stoves?
And how would you have liked to
perform in, or attend assembly in
a tiny, so-called auditorium that
had nothing but a poor excuse for
a stage, with virtually no props?
The seats in that auditorium
were all on the same level, and
had no cushions. Quite a few of
them were in a bad state of repair.
For years the only way to get back-
stage was to walk through the audi
ence.
There was no money available
for a band. The best our parents
had was a three-piece “orchestra”.
As for our football teams, even the
midgets have far better equipment
than the stars of the fine teams
that New Bern High school produc
ed years ago.
In those days, there weren’t even
enough good uniforms to supply
the eleven players on the starting
team. And, of course, there was no
such thing as a bus for teams to
travel in. -■
So you see, we should be very
grateful for the many advantages
provided for us, and take good care
of them.

many visitors to Berne stand with
their noses in the air, waiting for
its colorful mechanism and the lit
tle painted figures to be set in
motion.
Originally, back in the 12th cen
tury, the Clock-Tower was intend
ed to mark the limit of the town,
and formed part of the main gate.
Now, as the city grew, it is right
in the heart of things.
There is little prospect that New
Bern will ever have a clock half
so complicated. As a matter of
fact, we seem to have considerable
trouble keeping our much simpler
one in working order. In this re
spect, and others, we can learn a
lot from Berne our mother city.

NEW BERN’S OWN—If you were lucky enough to see the
Benny Goodman spectacular—“Swing to Spring”—on CBS
last Friday, you were one of the countless millions who en
joyed the swing ballet routines. The loveliest dancer of the
lot was our own Mickey Gunnersen, who has climbed the
ladder of fame from the Yuletide Revue to repeated per
formances in Broadway musicals. There’ll never be a nicer
Mirror Maid than Mickey.
