Bryan Our Last Issue This, the last number of volume one of Green Lights, doe's not pre- tend to be more than a senior num- ber. In spite of the fact that the word Annual has been applied to this issue, it has been done so,er- roneously. It is our hope that the few additional features incorporated in this senior number will make it an acceptable souvenir of the school year 1935-36. T Next year the newspaper club in- tends to publish Green Lights bi- weekly, and trusts that the senior class will sponsor a real annual also. Carry On! The staff of Green Lights has enjoyed' working on the paper this year, and feels that it has profited considerably by this bit of journa- listic experience. We trust that next year's newspaper club will not per- mit Green Lights to pass into nothingness, but, on the contrary, will see to it that the club and the paper grows in usefulness and in- terest. G R E E N L I G H T S An Appreciation When plans were being made for the senior number of Green Lights , the staff was somewhat apprehensive of its financial success because of the great amount of advertising neces- sary to guarantee its success. Since that time, however, it has developed that our fears were without founda- tion. At no time during the year has the public been more sympathetic with a school undertaking than with our efforts in making the last issue of Green Lights an interesting fea- ture number. For the splendid co- operation of the Greenville mer- chants, business men, school-backers, and political candidates we are in- deed appreciative. Without your help this last issue would have been impossible. Green Lights Receives - Distinguished Rating In Southeastern Contest In March, Green Lights entered an annual newspaper contest spon- sored by Emory University and the Atlanta Journal for the purpose of determining the best high school pa- pers published in the southeastern states during the current year. - Green Lights was one of the three North Carolina schools to be awarded a distinguished rating. Goldsboro Hi News and The Pam- licoan, Washington High paper, were the other two Carolina papers thus honored. The entries were divided into the following groups: Group I, schools with more than 1500 students, Group II, schools with more than 500 and fewer than 1500 students, Group III, schools with fewer than 500 studentsg Group IV, mimeo- graphed papers, Group V. school pages in community newspapers. A scholarship of S210 to Emory Uni- versity was awarded to the editor or a member of the staff of the best pa- per in each of the five divisions. J ournalistic ratings were awarded other high-ranking papers in the contest. Green Lights was given a May, 1936. distinguished rating in Group III, schools with fewer than 500 stu- dents. The Gamilacadf' of Georgia Mili- tary Academy, College Park, Geor- gia, was awarded first place in Group Ill. Danny Polier is editor. Second place in this group went to Baylor Notes, Baylor School, Chat- tanooga, Tennessee. Next year Green Lights expects to enter other contests, and hopes to improve its rating also. Several Changes Anticipated In High School Program Next Year The junior high school program will be definitely under way next year. The seventh, eighth, and ninth grades will constitute the jun- ior high school, classes of which will be changed from an hour to forty- five minutes in length. At the com- pletion of his junior high course, each student will be credited with four units towards college entrance. At the present it is planned that the junior high classrooms be segre- gated from those of the senior high. The tenth, eleventh and .twelfth grades, which constitute the senior high school will operate on the regu- lar high school schedule. New courses are expected to be offered in the commercial department, and a course in journalism is also a possi- ble addition to the curriculum. It is hoped that the home economics de- partment will be able to occupy quar- ters of its own in a near-by dwelling.

April, 1936. Newspaper Club To Sponsor Senior Dance Paul Jones' Orchestra To Furnish Music As a climax to the yearls social ac- tivities the Newspaper Club of the high school will sponsor the annual commencement dance given in hon- or of the senior class. The dance will take place in the high school auditorium on Tuesday evening, June 2, from ten until one-thirty. Music will be furnished by Paul Jones and his popular orchestra. Two years ago the custom of hav- ing a commencement dance was ini- tiated in Greenville High, and each year the affair has been an out- standing affair. The graduating ex- ercises will take place in the Robert H. Wright Building earlier the same evening, but immediately afterwards the dance will be held in the high school. Though the dance is given in honor of the seniors, all high school stu- dents and faculty members are urged to attend. An admission charge of seventy-five cents per couple or stag will be necessary to defray the ex- penses of the dance. Alumni and friends of the school are invited to enjoy the commence- ment dance with the seniors. Parents who wish to attend the dance as spectators are urged to do so minus all charges. Jeter Oakley Elected Vice- President of Senior Class At a call meeting of the senior class Wednesday, May 13, Jeter Oak- ley was elected vice-president of the senior class to serve in place of Charles Gaskins, who has decided to remain in high school for another year. Other nominees for the position were Helen Flanagan and Frances Spilman. Please Patronize Our Advertisers w GREEN LIGHTS Page Seven NEWSPAPER CLUB Back row, left to right: V. M.
