Superintendent Wins Respect of All GHS When Mr. Jerry D. Paschal assumed his re- sponsibilities as superintendent of Goldsboro City Schools, he expressed a determination to know each school and its problems first hand. His frequent and welcome visits to GHS prove that he means just that. Never too busy to stop for a chat during those visits, he has won the respect of both students and teachers at GHS. ' Mr. Paschal, a native of Oklahoma, attended Duke University and High Point College, and before coming to Goldsboro as assistant superintendent last year, had served as principal of schools in Lexington and Chadbourne, and as the first principal of Wayne County’s Charles B. Aycock High School. Mr. Jerry Paschal’s busy schedule never excludes time for a friendly greeting. Capably assisting the new superintendent is a new- comer to the locality, Mr. S. C. Chandler, a native of Sumter, S. C. Mr. Leon E. Davenport (above) is the superintendent’s business assistant, and Mr. Hal Plonk (below) is the supervisor of secon- dary education. 18

School Board Sees GHS Needs On Personal Tours Dedicated members of the Golds- boro School Board serve without pay to help guide GHS to high standards of achievement. On this board, capably guided by Mr. W. A. Dees, Jr., falls the responsibility of eight elementary, two junior high, and two high schools. This year, in order to be closer to specific needs, the board members began holding monthly meetings in the various school buildings, tour- ing each prior to their business ses- sions. In this way, they gain a per- sonal knowledge of each school that enables them to plan wisely the policies and procedures of the ad- ministrative unit. Mr. William A. Dees, Jr. (above) guides the business sessions and activities of the Goldsboro School Board. Discussing current business of the city schools are board members (below): Mr. Dees, Mrs. William D. Ray, Mr. Lloy d Fonville, Mr. George E. Wilson, Mr. William H. Boyer, Mr. Robert W. Powell, Mrs. Ashton T. Griffin, III. 11 ! I ' L - f 17

Mr. Clement W. Twiford has been for twenty-five years Goldsboro High School ' s principal. Formerly a football player, he boosts GHS foot- ball. Formerly a UNC wrestler, he encourages the wrestling team. For twenty-five years principal of Goldsboro High School, he continues to be the strongest supporter a teenager can have, for his philosophy of education includes a trust in the in- dividual student. Mr. C. W. Twiford is all those things to GHS. And he is a community booster, too, for he is an active member of the Rotary Club, the Touchdown club, and St. Paul Methodist Church. He is an alum- nus of the University of North Carolina, where he received both his BS and Master’s degrees. His interest in education extends from his memberships in national associations to the encouragement of the individual at GHS. In July of this year Mr. Twiford moves to the Central Office as secondary education supervisor. The halls will seem strange without him. GHS rejoices, however, that he will continue to be a working part of the Goldsboro Administrative Unit. Mr. C. W. Twiford Encourages Individual Students (Above) His door is always open for faculty consultation. Here he greets a newcomer, Mrs. Judith Wuestman, and a returning faculty member, Mrs. Mary Askew.
