S. chronologically, we should begin with our first days as frightened seventh- graders in the Junior high school. Wei’e we to begin with our outstanding successes, however, we should mention in- stantly our cooperation in helping Herb Lee produce a successful senior play just a few weeks ago. In this ven- ture each senior as well as the senior advisers. Miss Imogene Riddick and Miss Evelyn Buchanan, worked as a unit to put over in a big way “Night Must Fall.” No success of the current school year 1940-1941 could be mentioned without some senior sharing the honor. Of course, this is as it should be! In the realm of scholastic activities, sports, music, dramatics, journalism, student government and other extra-curricular areas, the class of 1941 has excelled. Enthusiasm and intelligence have characterized the leadership of the senior class through- out the year. As Juniors we selected Jane Harrison for president; Travis Flayiagan Ami Gaskins Mamie Ruth Gilbert Billy Gulley Blanche Hardee Jane Harrison Betsy Hobgood John Horne Thelma House Jessie Ray Hoivard Marguerite Hudson Ralph Hunter - , ' a r ry James Lillian James Berhice Jefikins Sidney Johnson Senior Class History Fen-er Corbett, vice-president; Evelyn Langley, secretary and Larry James, treasurer. With the able help of our Junior advisers, Miss Helen Dugan, Mr. Herman Dally and Mr. Judson White, we were able to give an outstand- ing Junior-Senior banquet-dance. Under Jane Harrison’s supervision, the class participated for the first time in a magazine campaign, which boosted the junior funds con- siderably. As juniors we were well represented in all curricular and extra-curricular activities. Marshals chosen from our class because of superior scholastic work were Betsy Hobgood and J. N. Williams, chief marshals; Jane Scoville, Anna Lee Register, Evelyn Langley, Mary Sue Moore, Jennie Joyner, Fenner Corbett, Bernice Jenkins, J. Hicks Corey, and Herbert Lee. Chosen early this year as senior class officers were Bruce Mayo, president; Jane Scoville, vice-president; Frances Willard, secretary; and Betty Tyson, treasurer. Besides sponsoring the senior play the class of 1941 also presented the annual Christmas program and arranged for Christmas gifts for several needy families. Jennie Joyner J. B. Joyner J. B.

For twenty-two years Mr. Idttle served faithfully as chairman of the board. During this year he was suc- ceeded by Mr. E. G. Flanagan. Under Mr. Little’s chairmanship outstanding progress has been made in the Green- ville schools. B. B. Sugg, mayor of Greenville, who has always shown utmost in- terest in the students of Greenville high school. It is the hope of Mayor Sugg that some sort of school ex- pansion program may be offered the .students of Greenville in the near I ' ll lure, so that students will have the needed conveniences in continuing their education. Urging that some sort of school expansion program be started soon is the whole-hearted idea of Superin- tendent J. H. Rose. During the twenty years which Mr. Rose has been superintendent of the Greenville City Schools, students, coming and going, have looked upon him as their leader, one who has endeavored to make their school life profitable and enjoyable. Here’s to Colonel Flanagan, as the students know him, the new chairman of the school board. He has constant- ly shown his willingness and desire to better the schools of Greenville. “Colonel” has proved, in all his efforts, to be a worth-while friend of all students. Student Cooperative Association The Student Cooperative association under the lead- ership of President Fenner Corbett is completing: one of the most successful years in its history. Student interests centered around three presidential elections held during the school year by a unique coincidence. The council program began with spirited elections in the fall in which Fenner Corbett was the successful cand- idate for president. Other officers elected at this time were Betsy Hobgood, vice-president; Rachel Fleming, secretary and Bill Turner, treasurer. The second big event of the year w ' as the North Carolina State Student Council Congress held here No- vember 1, 1940. The convention was attended by almost three hundred students from thirty high schools. Panel discussions on student government problems highlighted the program. Of greatest interest to Greenville high stu- dents was the campaign and election of Jack Edwards, a local junior, to the office of president of the state con- Miss Evelyn Buchanan Faculty Adviser gress. The local students aided in the campaign by talking with the various delegates who were housed in homes throughout the city. A camera was purchased for the use of school or- ganizations after several weeks discussion. The council formed a photography club to supervise and train students in the operation of the new camera. Twice during the school year the council waged cam- paigns to solicit donations for relief funds. The “Bundles for Britain” drive was conducted just before Christmas netting $21.58. It had as its theme the sacrificing of money ordinarilly spent for fireworks to aid British children escape explosives falling from the skies. The Fenner Corbett President second drive, a campaign for aid to crippled children, was staged before Easter. The council spent much time during the year in an effort to improve the method of distributing profits of the student store, because of numerous protests concern- ing the methods now in use. Several new plans were presented. Early spring was chosen by the student body as the time to elect council officers following an open forum in which plans for fall and mid-year elections were also considered. An amendment changing the elections date was passed resulting in elections this spring for the first time in G. H. S. history. After a short but spirited campaign Richard Duncan won out in the race for SCA. president over Bill Turner and James Worsley. Bill Horne defeated Jack Edwards by a slight majority in a run-off for the vice-presidential post. Other successful candidates were Louis DuPree, secretary and Eustace Conway, treasurer. The officers- elect will take over their new duties next September.

Early in the year the class chose H. R. Goodall, presi- dent; Jack Edwards, vice-president; Martha Rowe, secre- tary; and Doris Broadhurst, treasurer. Under their leadership the juniors have sponsored a magazine campaign, a carnival and four dances. The proceeds from these activities were used in stag- ing the annual Junior-Senior. The affair proved to be an outstanding social event of the school year.

A recent article appearing in the “New York Times,” now edited by Bernice Jenkins, reads as follows: “Four great scientists, Jesse Ray Howard, Joe Broadhurst, Billy Gulley and Bruce Thigpen, while piddling around among the last war’s ruins, discovered two human beings who had been entrenched there for the past thirty years. Evidently, they were the only victims of suspension gas, a type of gas which induces its victims into a sleeping coma. The scientists developed an antidote for the gas and brought the two victims back to their limited senses.” Scientist I: Wake up and live; it’s 1973 . You: I can’t believe it’s 1973. What’s happened? . .. Me: Me, either Let’s make a trip around the world to visit our classmates of 1941. Personal Diary April 7. Stopped in New York tonight. Attended Herb Lee’s newest hit, “Marshmallows and Cream Puffs,” starring Wilma Cozart and Edmund Boyd. After the play we stopped to dance at the “Greasy Quarter” night club, managed by Travis Flanagan. The floor show was wonderful, the main attraction being “St. Louis Blues,” blued by none other than our old classmate, Jennie C. Joyner. Also working with Travis were flower girls. Marguerite Hudson, Margaret Nelson and Doris Nelson April 8. We took a train to Chicago. Had a very nice trip. ' Traveled with J. N. Williams, famous pianist who had just finished a concert at Carnegie Hall. He told us that he saw a lot of John Horne while on tour, since John was a conductor for the Union Pacific Railroad Co. April 9. While strolling along the sidewalks of Chicago, we noticed a new 150-storey building under con- struction. We heard a voice bawling orders to some of the workmen, who turned out to be none other than Paul Scott, Dewey Page and Ollie Clark. We glanced around frantically to see who was making so much fuss. Looking upward, we discovered it was Snag Clark, evidently the foreman on the job, perched on the top storey. After greet- ing these boys, we asked if they knew where any more of our former classmates were located. They told us that J. Hicks Corey was still the street-cleaner on their shift, and had been for twenty-five years. We were somewhat astounded at this, but they assured us that Hicks had told them Confidentially that he was in line for promotion. April 10. Early this morning we purchased a 1973 rocket-ship from high-pressure salesman, Fenner Corbett. At noon we rocketed to Miami to get a little sun tan before we journeyed to the Arctic. Just as we stepped from our ship we bumped into what seemed to be a fami- liar figure. However, because of his extremely bald head, it took us a few minutes to recognize our old friend, Buimey Warren, peddling “Pink Pills for Pale People.” Seeing a mob further down the beach we thought maybe somebody was drowned. However, we were mis- taken; it was a bathing-beauty contest. Among the beau- ties we found Lib Wells, Frances Willard, Louise W ' ooten and Doris Roberts. April 11. Since it was rather chilly in Florida, we decided to look up a few of our old friends in Hawaii. Then, too, we wanted some fresh pineapple juice in addi- tion to a little warmth. Arriving there just in time for lunch, we found Dr. Sidney Johnson resting on his pine- apple plantation. Dr. Johnson seems to be making a pros- perous living replacing the hips of amateur hula dancers. He spends his evenings trying to teach the natives “liE Conga.” While in Hawaii we went to a woman’s wrestling match in which Jane Scoville, top woman wrestler of the world, successfully defended her championship. What a strong constitution after all these years! Her opponent turned out to be Emmie Lou White. We were surprised to see Ann Gaskins and Lib Sugg there. They informed us that they were now teachers, enjoying the vacation for which they have been saving for twenty years. April 12. Hopping off to the Artie coast after our warm stay in Hawaii, we arrived simultaneously with Betsy Hobgood, Lucy Churchill and Mary Sue Moore, who told us they were going to take a census of Eskimos who are total vegetarians. They were agents from the Jean Rush canning corporation. We found George Saad work- ing furiously on an editorial criticizing the workers on the C. B. Rowlette Eskimo Pie plantations who were on strike for more blubber. The editorial was for editor Saad’s paper, the “Ice Review.” April 13. Left early for Bermuda. Had a wonderful visit at the estate of Peggy West, wife of the governor of the island. On the beach we saw a group of girls whom we recognized to be Joy Flanagan, Ruby Taylor, Betty Tyson and Jane Harrison. It was puzzling to us how they had kept their youth. They didn’t look a day over eighteen. However, on inquiring, we discovered that those weren’t our classmates at all, but were their daughters. We found the girls’ mothers playing bridge at the casino, while their fathers, Larry James, John Collins, J. B. Kittrell and Edgar Denton endulged in a game of billiards. The four families ha d chipped in and rented a cottage for the sum- mer. All four boys are making good. Larry is owner of a tobacco factory: John is making good in the furniture business; J. B. has a monopoly on the sugar business; and Edgar owns the famous chain stores, Belk-Denton. We left for Hollywood soon after dinner and got there about bed time. We made reservations in the Hotel Swank, jointly owned by Susie Warren and Edna Earle Whichard. April 14. We found Naomi Overton, Anna Lee Reg- ister and Vera Dare Stocks working in the hotel’s beauty parlor as manicurists. Each girl was confident that she would get a break in the movies, soon. At the studio we found Betsy Hobgood taking the lead in a heavy drama, “The Slippery Soup.” On another set we found Frances Swindell, Lillian Janies, Lila Lee Everington and Helen Butler in the chorus of a musical comedy entitled, “That Night On The Iceburg.” April 15. Left for our old home today. Stopped in New Orleans, where we found Mamie Ruth Gilbert, presi- dent of the Southern Bird Association, working diligently on a paper she was preparing for the “Southern Weekly Post,” edited by Edna Ross and Staley Smith. Mamie Ruth told us that Audrey Lum and Ann McCormick were co-owners of a large chain of dress shops in the South and that Doris H. Brown and Evelyn Langley were very active in politics. April 16. Our next stop was Louisville, Kentucky, where we found Bruce Mayo owner of a large Television company. Bruce said that Gloria Whitehurst was the owner of a long string of race horses and that she had a sure winner for the Kentucky Derby. Lila Mae Allen and Annie Lee Baker, we learned, were librarians in the city library. We went to Richmond, Vir- ginia, where we found J. B. Joyner, owner of a large rocket- motor parts concern. He told us that he had three of our old school-mates, Thelma House, Viola Bailey and Doris Brown employed as stenographers in his offices. We learned that Doris Briley, Frances Dunn and Lucille Edwards were nurses in one of the larger hospitals of the city, while Blanche Hardee was the manager of a poultry farm on the outskirts of the city. April 17. On the last lap of our trip we stopped for a couple of days at Jody Flanagan’s beautiful estate, which is located in the mountains of North Carolina. Jody is writing another book, “Two Slickers in the Hills.” We hope it is as big a hit as her last one, “Mountaineer in Captivity.” April 18: Arrived in Greenville. Went immediately to see the old school building; but alas, in its place we found a ten-storey super-construction with an indoor swimming pool and tennis courts. Our dream came true after all! Note: Any disci-epancies as to time and place in the above article may be attributed to the prevalence of rocket ships in 1973 and to the mental condition of the author when this article was written. Tenth-Grade Class History One hundred and twenty-one versatile students com- pose this year’s tenth-grade class. Active in scouting, dramatics, sports, journalism and many other organiza- tions are the students under the homeroom supervision of Miss Deanie B. Haskett, Mr. Boley Farley, Miss Cooper Bell and Mr. H. H. Cunningham. This year the students have participated in many extra-curricular activities, such as, the International Correspondence Club, the French Club, the Home Economics Club and Debating. Though the tenth-grade has had no formal organization, its active students have been of definite value to the school through- out the year. M A.

Robinson, and Mrs. Maude Bowen supervise the ninth-grade students. Junior Hi-Lights, edited and published by students under the supervision of M. J. White, is headed by ninth- graders for the most part. The Junior Dramateers, directed by R. G. Walser, have made many accomplishments this year. The group was organized last year by students in the ninth grade interested in dramatics.

The group has been supervised hy Mr. Judson White, Miss Mary Shaw Robeson, Miss Estelle Greene and Mr. Heman Fulkerson. Many of the eighth graders have participated frequently throughout the year in ;.uch school activities as, football, track, junior high basketball, assem- bly programs, student council, traffic committee, cheer leading and the band. More and more the eighth graders are becoming aware of the part they are supposed to play in school life. Eighth Grade iiomeroom 12 Howard.

There are seventy-nine pupils in two crowded homerooms. The newcomers are more and more realizing that they have a part in the school life and are frequently participating in junior-high activities. Two seventh-grade groups are housed in other buildings this year; one group, in the Training School; another, in the Third Street School. Homeroom Representatives Homeroom 11 Jimmy Futrelle Homeroom 19 Lindy Corey Math Club The Greenville high school Math club, under the advisorship of Miss Evelyn Buchanan is going into its second year of successful existence. This organization, established for the purpose of increasing student knowledge of mathematics, is be- coming outstanding in the field of clubs and extra-curricular groups. John Horne, superior student in Algebra, has been president for the current year. He was assisted by Jane Scoville. vice-president and Betsy Hobgood, secretary-treasurer. V« ' . Junior International Correspondence Club Established last year as a junior division of the Sen- ior International Correspondence club, the Junior I. C. club has twenty-two members. Mrs. C. A. Bowen has been the faculty adviser for the current year. Margaret Jones, a representative from the Senior I. C. group, has acted as the student adviser. Meetings have been held every Monday and special programs have been presented at every other meeting. These programs have been similar to those of the senior organization. Officers for the year have been Peggy Rose Smith, president; Hennie R. Whichard, vice-president; Rena Oakes, secretary, and Margaret Jones, adviser. International Correspondence Club The International Correspondence club, organized three years ago, has progressed rapidly under the leader- ship of J. N. Williams as president and Faculty Adviser Deanie Boone Haskett. The twenty-five members who make u]) this organi- zation have as their jiurpose familiarizing themselves with foreign countries through correspondence, acquiring a wider knowledge of the culture and customs of other countries, as well as their geographical conditions, and aiding in the establishing of a closer relationship between America and its Eurojjean and South American neighbors. The club has its meetings every other Wednesday. Duiing the year the club ]iresented an outstanding radio program along with a number of superior club programs. French Club Undei- the supervision of Miss Imo- o-enc ' Riddick, faculty adviser, the French club has had a most success- ful year. The big feature, as always, of the French club was a French play, “Medecin Malgre Lui.” “I he most outstanding work of this year’s club was the giving of a real Moliere play, which is the nicest play ever given by the French club. Moli- ere’s plays are usually produced by professional actors,” states Miss Riddick. Presiding over the Tuesday morn- ning meetings have been Herbert Lee, president, and Doris Broadhurst secretary. The meetings have been both entertaining and educational. An annual event of the club is a picnic in the spring. • • • • • • • • Radio Club Under the leadership of Heber Adams, the Radio club has proved to be one of the most active and bene- ficial clubs in Greenville high school. Among the activities of the club during the year was the assembly program explaining how radio ama- teurs operate. The building of a seventy-five watt phone transmitter was also explained. The present membership of the radio club includes seven students. Binice Mayo is vice-president; Carl Corey, secretary; James Mayo, treas- urer; and Mr. E. R. Robinson, adviser. Diversified Occupations C. Wallace Bourne Supervisor Two D. O. students, Paul Brooks and C. B. Rowlette, attended the state convention in Wilmington, April 28- 29. These students were outstanding in deciding on the state D. 0. pin and were the first to suggest it. Throughout the year the class has operated as a club. Early in the current year they elected officers: Billy Gulley, president; Bernice Jenkins, vice-president; and Mary Sue Moore, secretary-treasurer. Going into its second year of existence in G. H. S., Diversified Occupations, under the supervision of C. Wal- lace Bourne, made several outstanding achievements throughout the past school year. Composed of fourteen seniors and six juniors, the class put over one of the best dances of the year on Valentine night. Besides the dance, they held their annual student-employer banquet early in May. This proved to be one of the most important school events of the year. Camera Club The Camera club, which is the youngest organization in Greenville high school, has made rapid progress since it received its charter in Jan- uary. Credit is due Billy Gulley, presi- dent, for the existence of the club. ITnder his instructions, the Camera club studied many phases of phono- graphy. This group, although young, should prove to be one of the main organizations in the high school. Red Cross Under the supervision of Miss Margaret Zinn, the Red Cross club was organized in the fall of 1940. The club now has thirty members. Officers are Audrey Lum, president, and Queenie McGowan, secretary- treasurer. The club was organized last fall when several students and Miss Zinn evinced interest in doing Red Cross woi’k. In addition to other activities, the members have pi’epared fifteen knitted garments; several are still under construction. Marshals Eleven Greenville high school sen- iors have served as marshals during the 1940-41 school yeai’. Chosen o i the basis of scholastic ability, the marshals have served as ushers at cH important school functions th’ ' u 7 ’’ ' ' out the year. Principal jobs of the marshals were serving at the gradu- ation exercises last spring and servin ' ' - at the senior play this year. The Greenville high school chapter of Quill and Scroll, international honor society for high school journalists, now has twelve members, eleven boys and one girl. Election to Quill and Scroll is based on superior work in some phase of journalism. Bernice Jenkins, capable editor of Green Lights, is president of Quill and Scroll. Under his leadership the school paper has become more vital as a school force than at any time during its six years of publication. This year Green Lights was judged to be a medalist paper by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, an All-American paper by the National Scholastic Press Association, and a first-class paper by the Southern Inter- scholastic Press Association. These ratings indicate the superiority of Green Lights and reflect credit on the journalism class and the entire school. Editorials in Green Lights were declared by the CSPA to be the best in the nation of any editorials in papers from high schools of similar enrollment to that of Greenville high. Editor Jenkins will be succeeded next year by Jack Edwards and Bill Turner, co-editors. Junior Journalists Quill and Scroll Bernice Jenkins Editor-in-chief of Green Lights Junior journalism was originated laf t year for all junior high students interested in newspaper work by Mr. Judson White. This year the group has edited Junior Highlights, a mimeograph paper, at irregular in- tervals. Sidney Dunn and Peggy Rose Smith are editor and associate edi- tor, respectively. Greenville High Mixed Chorus, 1940-1941 When Miss Ona Shindler left G. H. S. to attend New York university, the Greenville higdi glee club continued its work under the direction of Mrs. Paul Davenport. At the district contest at East Carolina Teachers college the Glee club received a one rating and was able Greenville High Schoo’ to attend the State Music festival in Greensboro. Solos, trios and quartets also received high ratings at the district contest. Throughout the year the music department operated with all school and civic Oi ' ' A V i, Under the direction of Mr. H. A. McDougle the sixty- eight piece Greenville high school Ijaml has participated in a large number of school affaii’s during the yiast year. With a full hour period a day the band has received many valuable advantages that previous bands did not receive. With a rating of a two. the band received the highest grade any G. H. S. band has ever received in the Greens- Doro Music Festival. Several members were absent when the picture was made. Senior Dramateers R. G. Walser, dramatics instructor in G. H. S. and president of the North Carolina Dramatics Association. The Dramateers, under the direction of R. G. Walser, have made great strides since the group was first or- ganized two years ago. Thi s year the members have spent more time in writing plays and in producing plays than in any. other activity. “Two Dicks,” “The Devil Is A Good Man,” “Two Against the Gods,” and “The Entire Act” were outstand- ing among the senior dramateer productions. “The Devil Is A Good Man,” senior contest play, won first place in Chapel Hill in state-wide competition, after surviving two preliminaries. This is the second year in succession that G. H. S. has won first place in state-wide competition in senior high productions. Officers for the year were Betsy Hobgood, president; Bob Adams, vice-president; Doris H. Brown, secretary; and Jennie C. Joyner, treasurer. Black Masquers The Black Masquers of Greenville hig h school are the honor students in dramatics. Including the new students recently selected for membership, the club has t venty-two members. Installed in Greenville high school three years ago by the Rocky Mount chapter, the local Black Masquers organization has con- tinuously been an active one. This year the Greenville unit installed a chapter in Fay- etteville. The honor students in this group produced during the year “In the Mauso- leum,” by Herbert Lee, president of the group, and “The Man Who Came Back.” • • • • ; . ■ Junior Dramateers The Junior Dramateers are ninth- grade students especially interested in dramatics. Tom Rowlette, presi- dent, and Milton Beland, vice-presi- dent, have aided Adviser R. G. Wal- ser in making this group one of the most active in school. Besides reach- ing the finals in Chapel Hill with their production, “The Apothecary,” the Junior Dramateers have done a number of radio programs and several assembly pi ' Ograms. This group meets three times each week, Monday. Tuesday, and Wednesday at activity neriod with Mr. R. G. Walser in Room 34. Football, 1940 Experiencing a fairly good season, the Gieen Phantom grid team gained a third- place standing in the Eastern conference. Coach Bo Farley and Heman Fulkerson’s Greenies won five games, tied one and lost four. Victories were recorded over Windsor, Tarboro, Plymouth, New Bern and Edenton. The tie game was with Roanoke Rapids, while losses were inflicted on the Phantoms by Kinston, Washington, Goldsboro and Elizabeth City. J. B. Kittrell and Paul Scott were placed on several all-conference teams. Scott played guard, while Kittrell held down the quarterback position. (Because of the fact that the cut of the football squad has been misplaced, only part of this year’s squad can be shown.) Seniors graduating this year are Larry James, end; J. B. Kittrell, Jr., blocking back; Paul Scott, guard; John Collins, end; Sidney Johnson, guard; Edwin Clark, tailback; Dewey Page, fullback; Paul Britt, guard. Phantom Basketball Squad, 1941 Coach Bo Farley’s Green Phantom quint ended the year at the top of the Eastein Conference standings for the third successive year. The Phantom five won eight conference games and lost four, while losing four non- conference tilts and winning one. Victories were recorded over Tarboro twice, Roanoke Rapids once, Vfashington once, Goldsboro once, Kinston twice and Elizabeth City once. In the annual tournament held in this city, the Greenies emerged victorious by defeating Kinston in the semi-finals. Snag Clark, Burney Warren and Larry James were named on numerous all-tournament and all-conference selections. These three boys along with John Collins, J. Hicks Corey and John Horne will be lost to next year’,- squad by graduation. Girls ' Basketball Because of the larpre number of g’irls interested in basketball, Coach Mary Shaw Robeson found it im- possible to practice all of them, so they were practiced in shifts. This plan proved to be very successful, considering that it was the first trial. The first string, with the exception of one player, will graduate this spring. They are Betty Tyson, Joy Flanagan, Peggy West, Lib Wells, Doris Roberts and Marguerite Hud- son. Athletic Council The two-year-old athletic council has proved its worth in arousing- school spirit, handling all finances connected with sports and promoting better sportmanship in G. H. S. It sponsored the second annual awards night at which time all athletes were honored and a speech was made by Wallace Wade, head football coach at Duke university. The council is now a vital part of the school organization. Junior High Basketball The 1941 Junior high cagers, coach- ed by Ileman Fulkerson, proved to be one of the best junior teams in recent years. Wctories were register- ed over Washington, Goldsboro, Wil- son, Roanoke Rapids, Kinston, twice, and Ayden “B” team twice. The losse were to Durham twice, Wilson. Goldsboro and Washington. 1941 Track Team This year’s track team, coached by Heman Fulkerson, end- ed its third successful season of competition. Coach Fulkerson’s proteg ' es won one dual meet and lost one. In an invitational meet in Goldsboro they placed second; while at the State meet in Chapel Hill they snared fifth-place honors. John Spearman, swift dash man, placed first in the 100 and the 220-yard dashes in the annual State meet. In the meet sponsored in this city by the Junior Chamber of Commerce, the Phantom tracksters placed second. Teams competing besides Greenville were Rocky Mount, Wilson and Goldsboro. Heman Fulkerson Track Cooxh Although the boys had an unsuccessful season as far as wins were concerned, the team proved to have a fighting spirit. Coach H. H. Cunningham did a fine job with such limited facilities and time. This year’s squad was paced by Sidney Johnson, Gene Johnson, Percy Wells, and Ben Harrison. Defeats were inflicted on the Phantoms by Vvilson, Goldsboro and Kinston. Beta Club The Greenville high school chapter of the National Beta club has enjoyed another successful year under the guidance of Fenner Corbett. The main project of the club was the third annual College Day program spon- sored for all junior and senior stu- dents. The club also provided food and clothing for a needy family at Christmas. Monogram Club Under the leadership of President Paul Scott, the Monogram club has experienced a very successful year. The club has sponsored numerous events, but the dance honoring the football team and the Halloween dance proved to be the most outstanding events of the year. Other officers of the club have been John Collins, vice-president and J. Hicks Corey, secretary-treasurer. Miss Mary Shaw Robeson has served as faculty adviser for the group. II Debate Club The Greenville high school debaters, coached by Mr. H. H. Cunningham, took part in a total of ten debates during the year. Eight of these were held at the Wake Forest tournament, in which the debaters took part in several public speaking contests. The negative team composed of Bruce Mayo and James Worsley won three of their five debates, while Richard Duncan and Nick Marshall made up the local affirmative team.

Rose recently signed an agree- ment permitting next year’s cafeteria menu to contain everything that students desire. In former years only soft drinks have been served. In keeping with the “Frogressive Education for the Modern Generation” pro- gram, which will go into effect in the high school next year, a portable bar, which can be moved to the classrooms, will be install- ed in G.

Other members are Ann Gaskins, Betty Tyson, Ann McCor- mick and Jennie Joyner. At a recent assembly program, Travis Flanagan was awarded a medal in recogni- tion of his outstanding scholastic work this year. Travis has made excellent reports in all of his studies, especially typing. It has been rumored that he will give a speed- typing performance in New York City on May 30. Bashful Travis, however, says that all honors for his achievements should go to Mr. Henian Fulkerson, whose constant inspiration led him to this high record. It has recently been discloseU that Mr. P. E. Wells, II, has opened an exclusive hairdressing shop for the fairer sex. Says Percy, “My hair is my only medium of ad- vertising.

Chrysler - Plymouth Prevaricator — Continued there will be no absence and tardy slips issued from the office for the remainder of this year. Passes to classes can be obtained by students from C. B. Rowlette, student representative to the faculty, for the small sum of five cents. Rowlette, who has been given this trustworthy position, was elected unanimously by the faculty upon the recom- mendation of Miss Dalton. J. Hicks Corey, “G. H. S.’s” own Charles Atlas,” has been decorated by the mayor for his heroic work in capturing Fenner “Culprit” Corbett, local badman. “Culprit” was captured while attempting to rob the local bank. Head Cashier Larry James was seriously injured in a grapple with Cor- bett. A book was said to have hit the promi- nent banker on the foot, after which he was rushed to the hospital, where he will be confined for five weeks. Chief-of-Police Ollie Hayes Clark is now in charge of the case. When leaving the Roxy Theatre in New York City after the premier of his latest picture, “The Line Shooter,” Sidney P. Johnson, Esq., local boy who made good, was mobbed by thousands of admiring females. Among those thrilled with only touching the movie-hero were Betty Tyson and Joy Flanagan, life-long admirers of Johnson. Because of serious illness nationally- famous baseball pitcher, Burney Simon Warren, has cancelled his engagement at Madison Square Garden, announced Mr. Bo Farley, Warren’s manager. A bumble- bee reportedly stung Warren on the arm as he journey through the country toward his destination. Farley reports that Warren will be out of the limelight for about three months due to his illness. Noah Lee Edwards and Stuart Murphy have been chosen chairman and vice-chair- man, respectively, of the “Go-to-church-on- Sunday” drive. This campaign is one of the most outstanding conducted this year, ac- cording to Edwards. Other outstanding promoters of the drive are Bob Adams and Jesse Jordan, who attend all services regularly. Mrs. Maude Bowen has announced that one of her requirements for next year is that all students must chew gum in her classes. “I feel that students are more relaxed when they are chewing,” stated Mrs. Bowen. She also disclosed that gum- popping contests will be conducted weekly by her classes. A lover’s lounge will be constructed behind the auditorium stage by the student council for next year’s crop of lovers. In this way extra time will be spent in a worthwhile way. Mrs. Herring will excuse students from the library to participate in this new recreation. A small admission fee will be charged, this going to the well- Icnown curtain fund. The council expects to be able to purchase five new curtains with profits from _the lounge. Among the stu- dents who will welcome this venture are boys without cars. Green and white satin love seats, which can be reserved for ten dollars for the entire school year, will con- stitute the furnishings of the lounge. Soft lights and sweet music will furnish the appropriate setting. It is thought that physical education classes will be discon- tinued, since both activities cannot be con- ducted at the same time without interfer- ence. Faculty adviser R. G. Walser will be on hand at the lounge throughout the day to see that no interruptions occur. CONGRATULATIONS SENIORS SMITT Y’S Fountain Service Dickinson Avenue J. B.
