Dr. John Smith came to Goldsboro High School from Jordan High School in Durham. Long before the opening of school. Dr. Smith spent many long hours preparing for the first year at G.H.S. In mid-August he met with the Student Association officers and committee chairmen to discuss activi¬ ties of the coming year. His first official act as principal was to alphabetize the students for home¬ room assignments. This was only the first of several new policies inaugu¬ rated by Dr. Smith. One of the pri¬ mary ideas emphasized that each stu¬ dent would be treated on the same basis. The principal ' s prime objective is to elevate the academic standards and instill a deeper sense of respon¬ sibility in the students. Dr. Smith sees the importance of observing classes firsthand to gain a better understanding of the teaching meth¬ ods. He also has a memory for names and records. If asked at any time the progress of a student, he never has to refer to his files. Never on a formal basis, Dr. Smith is always ready to answer any ques¬ tions and insure a better relationship between the administration and the students. Happily married. Dr. Smith has two school-aged children. He is known to have once told one of his students that he likes nothing better than to spend his spare time fishing.
