'Golden Door' Is New Service Project
Members of the Seniorettes and
Sub-Junior Woman’s club of GHS
are among the numeorus junior
service clubs taking part in a
statewide service project.
The authorities o-f the Mentally
Retarded Children’s - Center at
Morganton, North Carolina have
requested North Carolina service
clubs to co-operate with them on
project “Golden Door.”
The project consists of a new
room being added to the Center.
The entrance being a “Golden
Door.” The room will be used as
a toyland, stocked with various
gifts and toys for the children at
Students! Once again the School
Board has an important announce
ment for the pupils enrolled in
the Greensboro City Schools.
Starting with this afternoon, all
persons enrolled in grades 1
through 12 will be given a va
cation as an eclipse present.
Two weeks of pleasure are be
ing awarded to honor the eclipse
of the moon that begins tonight
at 7:01 p.m. Because of the
Board’s generous offer to help
relieve the work load carried by
school students, any kindness that
is returned will be greatly ap
preciated by the Board members.
Rumors Spread
There have been many debates
during the last few weeks about
the significance of such an event.
A few uniformed persons have
been preading a rumor about an
obscure holiday that may super-
ced ethe import of Eclipse Day,
but at last report the Blue &
White Club had adopted the an
nihilation of these subversives as
their service project.
To honor the eclipse, many
special programs have been sched
uled. Starting at approximately
8:00, the Red and White Star
Gazers will set up their tele
scopes in the second paved park
ing lot to observe the celestial
phenomena. Because only a few
people can attend this gathering,
due to a limit of space, the meet
ing may be moved to a more
spacious area on West Market
Street.
Celebation
Many of the students who decide
to refrain from such public cele
bration will have eclipse parties
featuring three ho-ho-ho’s and a
bowl of punch for eclipse carol
ers. The type of entertainment has
been designed for the younger
star gazers who, due to the age
requirement, can not attend the
other gatherings.
Service clubs, academic socie
ties, and publication staffs have
been working on parties to com
memorate this event for several
weeks. As early as two weeks
prior to today, people have been
buying moon beams to deliver to
their friends and hunting up rec
ords to entertain the guests.
Further Plans
The HIGH LIFE staff urges
each person enrolled at GHS to
make the best of the eclipse, to
have fun, and forget school! To
night students are reminded to
view the eclipse atop the third
floor of the science building. Ele
vator tickets are being sold for
35 yen by the Sophomore Class.
Quick as a bunny ,the HIGH LIFE photographer happen
ed to snap a picture of the eclipse—even before it had hap
pened.
