GHS Stresses spirit is not the only goal that GHS seeks; perfection is as im- portant in the students’ daily ac- tivities. Scholastically, they strive to reach higher goals. With new sci- ence labs and equipment, students not only have expanded facilities for biology, chemistry, and physics, but also have the opportunity to work first-hand with electronics and combustion engines. Interest in physical education is heightened with added emphasis on intramural sports. Ed Woofers, Maynard Ernest, and Sally Jo Tart are en- grossed in the wonders which the new science lab has opened to them. Ken Kirk (right) practices hurdle jumping as he gets in shape for another season of track. 6

Another Successful Year The spirit of Goldsboro High School is its claim to greatness. Perhaps no other student activity affords such evidence of this tremendous school spirit as does the annual magazine drive. Class competition is at its height a nd each indi- vidual works hard to do his best for himself and his class. But it is the willingness to work together as a school that makes the magazine drive such a success and makes this event typical of Goldsboro High spirit. Working for a com- mon goal, the students are content only when that goal is attained. To surpass their goal is both a victory and a challenge, for such is the spirit of GHS: its students ever strive to set higher goals and win greater victories for their school. (Right) Typical of spirited assembly programs was the one presented by the World History class who sang out for patriotism. (Below) Maynard Ernest, Bobbie Simmons, Bert Ward, Rich- ard Thornton, and Lauri Crone became familiar with phases of the National Headstart program at Walnut Street School during the summer session of Sociology. 5

Perfection In Every Area Perfection, too, is sought in student activities. The students ever search for the new and worthwhile, which they blend with the best of the past. From the opening of that magazine drive for which GHS is famous, to the homecom- ing parade and stunt night, the classes meet and compete, but at the same time learn to work together, play together, laugh together, sing together. They learn as they compete, and in the final analysis what they produce is a smooth- working unit known as Goldsboro High School. Edna Earl Waters, Chris Turrone, and Justin Heath busily work stuffing napkins into chicken wire, a typical scene when homerooms prepare for the homecoming parade. The new singout fad which is sweeping the country arrives at GHS. 7
