It’s a Great Game
By Fate Sasser
After the grand and glorious days
of an enforced holiday we have mi
grated back to our natural habitats
and taken up the old routine of classes.
It is not at all unusual to hear about
upper and lower classmen burning
midnight oil. Apparently they are
cramming for the mid-term exams
now in progress.
Many athletes, having put football
completely out of their minds and
brought the question of exams to the
front as thoughts of basketball hover
near, are sweating and puffing to be
come eligible to participate in the court
schedule now in its sixth week of en
gagement.
Dropping the subject of exams, let
consider St. Valentine’s Day, when
cupid reigns supreme. There isn’t a
boy who isn’t looking forward to a little
red valentine from his true love.
Aunt Susie’s Spirit
The other night I was attending a
basketball game, and who do you think
was there? Well, if you aren’t a reg
ular attendant, you probably have not
met Aunt Susie, the little old lady
who wears a little grey bonnet and
attends all school attractions. Aunt
Susie and I are good friends.
An old alumna, she asked me where
the school spirit was at basketball
games. I couldn’t tell her because I
couldn’t speak for the student body.
But just the same I stuck my mouth
in (that’s the biggest thing about me
besides my four-inch ears) and re
marked that they had to remain in the
house for old man winter had coverec
the ground with a white blanket of
snow ....
Aunt Susie soon told me where to
get off. “That’s no excuse,” she said.
“I saw several of the boys and girls
driving their autos over the runway at
the local airport a few minutes before
the game started.” I couldn’t back out
of this, for I knew several of our young
Romeos had dates with the femmes. .
Aunt Susie then asked enthusiastically
“What’s the matter with carrying a
girl to the game? They can help
their club in a big way.” And I an
swered, “Oh! Aunt Susie, the femmes
might draw the males’ minds off the
battle.” Just as quickly came back
Aunt Susie: “Oh! dear! everytime we
girls look at a boy we aren’t falling for
him. I tell you there’s no excuse for
such poor attendance.”
Don’t Let Her Down
So, students don’t let Aunt Susie
down, for we stuck by her at the
swimming meets and football games.
Aunt Susie wishes you great success
in your mid-term check-up and hopes
to see a great crowd of spectators at
the Greenville game tonight.
Well, girls, for all of you who are
clamoring to ask me to the leap year
social, I have bad news. In the first
place. Aunt Susie has put on her old
grey bonnet and asked me to go, but
on the second thought, I have to be out
of town attending a clash between the
Quakes and Roanoke Rapids, So Sorry!

GHS Cindermen Practice
For 19^0 Track Season
Our Blue and White speeders are
doing their daily dozen every afternoon
on the school’s quarter-mile track to
be up to par when the season gets
under way around the fourth of March
with Coach Norris Jeffrey who has
been busy with basketball.
Under the watchful eye of their co
captains, Ed Bailey and Frank Ormond,
more than a dozen boys are practicing
daily to iron out the few soft spots
they received during off season.
The lads are at work on field events,
distance and sprints, to patch up the
holes that were left open by members
who received their sheepskins last
spring. Those lost were R. T. Cozart,
Jimmy Dilworth, Richard Austin, Fran
cis Joyner, Boddie Perry, J. C. Smith,
Richard Reeves, and Faison Thomp
son, who is attending another school.
Returning members, along with new
candidates, are laboring hard to re
turn to their old standard in the State.
They are working to win back the
State’s crown which they lost several
[■ears back. During their combats last
spring the Quakes won three dual
meets and dropped three for a .500
percentage.
The following lads have had a hand
in daily work outs; Ed Bailey, Frank
Ormond, Paul Garrison, John Schmid-
lapp, Tom Dameron, Lamuel Summer
lin, Rusty Johnson, Tom Carrere, Leslie
Davis, Tommy Edgerton, Mitchell
Baddour, Tinker Heyward and John
tlolmes.
