cial representatives to the NCSCC; and

quite a few of the Seniors. Those in the

ton, Tommy Bland, Robert Denmark,
and Harry Ward.
In the Glee Club were Doris Benton,

On the football team there were Thomas
Thigpen, Vernon Pate, Paul Starling,
Tom Dameron, James Kennedy, David
McClenny, Charlie Weathers, Frank Or
mond, Clifton Daniel, and Bobby Hey

school gridiron. On the Junior football
team were Vernon Southerland, Billy
Charlton, Bob Mooring, Bobby Heyward,
Walter Jackson, David Hinson, Norwood

award presented by the Paramount
Theatre.
On the varsity basketball team were
Billy Charlton, Willie Rogers, Andy

Dot Grant, manager.
Girls also tried out for the tennis team,
and Jean Denmark, Peggy Ballard, Lil
lian Jenkins, Dot Grant, and Virginia
Weatherly were on the squad.
The boys’ response to the net game
was better. John Roberts, the City Junior
Champ, Luke Montz, Tommy Bland,
George Stenhouse, Kirby Hart, David
Andrews, and Henry Stenhouse answer
ed the call.
The baseball team was composed partly
of these Seniors: Clyde King, Willie
Rogers, David McClenny, Billy Wynn,
Vernon Southerland, and Billy Spiron,
manager.
On the swimming team were A. J.
Oliver, Earl Layton, James Kennedy,
Herman Pate, captain, Harry Ward, and
Ernest Crone. Prominent in the swim
ming world was Prince Nufer, who broke
Eleanor Holm’s world record in the 50-

The tracksters were Tom Parker, Bill
Griffin, Billy Charlton, David McCormick,
John Holmes, Tom Dameron, Ray Carr,
Norwood Kornegay, Paul Starling, Ver
non Pate, Andy Smith, Russell Johnson,
Frank Ormond, Tommy Edgerton, David

Lessie Mallard as Celia Faraday; Kirby
Hart, William Faraday; Mary Louise
Thomson, Madge; Elizabeth Royall, Eve-
