STOWE, GUNTER AND BARKLEY LEAD IN SENIOR SUPERLATIVES
Twelfth Grade Boys Give Their Choice In Military Services
The future of every boy in the Senior Class seems to run along the same line—service in the armed forces. Indeed, most of the fellows already have definite plans as to which branch of the service they
expect to enter. Several boys are awaiting call in the Army Air Corps, quite a number are trying for the Navy V-5 program, and some are just waiting to let se¬ lective sendee take its course
GHS apparently is doing its to uphold Gaston county tion for having the highes of Navy recruits in the^f £?■ t

The election of senior superla¬

usual high interest, and the keen¬

out the race.
On Tuesday candidates were
nominated for the various honors,
and some campaigning was done on
the part of individual students.
The following nominees ran for election:

Mr. VfuleSanders was the prin¬
cipal speaker.
The program was opened by the singing of “God Bless America” accompanied by the band, and the invocation by Superintendent Iv. G. Phillips. After the delicious tur¬ key dinner, which was served by the teachers, the guests, including Mr. and Mrs. Ashley and Mr. and Mrs. t Phillips, were introduced.
Mary Bryant then gave a recita¬ tion, and a skit was presented by several members of the band.
Catherine Morrow introduced the speaker, Mr. Wade Sanders, who kept the audience laughing with his unlimited supply of jokes.
s King Accepts ition In Shelby
jHS has lost one of its most
capable teachers to the Shelby High
School. Miss King, history and ex-
French teacher, left Tuesday, Jan¬
uary 25, to take up her duties as
head of the history department
there. She will teach American
history.
Miss King has taught at GHS
ever since her graduation from
Woman's College in Greensboro.
In college she majored in French
and minored in history. She is thor¬
oughly capable of teaching either.
All of us wish Miss King the
best of luck and are sorry .hat she
has left us, but we are also glad
to welcome back Mrs. McLean, who
will take Miss King’s place.

HORIZONS A BIG PART IN TODAYS VICTORY
and
A BIG PART IN TOMORROW’S PEACE
Because Gastonia’s industries were geared for war, few realize what a marvelous contribution our people and our mills have made to the war effort. Over 11,000 textile items are used by our^ fighting forces and these are necessary as are guns, planes and ships.
When peace comes, our textile products will flow again through former channels to supply the pent- up needs of civilians over the world.
