BISONETTE
BUZZINGS
By ANNE SHIPWASH
The High Point girls’ basket
ball team, once more on the re
venge trail, came back from
R. J. Reynolds with an effective
win to their credit, defeating the
“Grey Gremlins” of that school
20-16. The score does not be
gin to tell the story of the game,
which was hard fought from the
starting whistle to the final buz
zer.
High scoring honors in this game
once again went to Nancy Beck,
who sank three baskets and four
out of five free throws for a total
of 10 points. Nancy has averaged
12.6 points per game this year.
Close behind in the scoring parade
were Henrietta Howell and Doris
Craven with six and four markers
respectively.
The J. V.’s ran up against
hard luck in their game; and al
though the superlative efforts
of Gwen Reddeck netted 14
points, the team was defeated
22-15.
Against Salisbury the following
week the Bisonettes played hard
and matched point for point dur
ing the first half of the game.
Beck had 17, and Doris Craven set
a personal record with 12 points
in the 44-35 loss. But the sec
ond half grind began to tell on the
team, and the many fouls began
to count. The girls kept trying,
though; and with a few breaks at
the right time, they might have
been victorious.
After the close of the varsity
season, a girls’ intramural bas
ketball tourney was started, with
all-state teams from the differ
ent gym classes competing.
Captains are: Period 1—Betsy
Davis and Joan Meekins; 2—Jerry
Clapp; 3—Nancy Welch and Ron-
da Miller; 4—Connie Phillips and
Nancy Cook; 6—Jean “Teena”
Burnworth and Ellen Baxley; 6—
Carol Ann Kearns and Mary Jane
McCain. In the round, 2 defeated
1, 12-10; 4 defeated 8, 12-6, and 7
defeated 6, 17-14. 4 drew a bye
and advanced to the finals, which
were scheduled for Friday, March
10. 2 and 7 were to battle it out
Thursday, March 9, for the other
finalist spot. The winner of this
tournament will play the Jr. Var
sity in a challenge. All officiat
ing has been done by student offi
cials.
This marked the first time
H. P. H. S. has had a program
of this kind, and the girls are
enthusiastic that the tourney
will be continued as an annual
affair.
The Bisonette basketballers can
hang up their shoes with pride as
they look back over the record
for 1960. The books show that
High Point got revenge for every
loss they suffered except one, and
besides that, defeated Greensboro
twice. The team enjoyed one of
the most successful seasons since
the early ’30’s, when the Bison
ettes won district, conference, and
state honors with regularity.

From the West (Tulsa, Okla
homa, that is) came the “Okla
homa Kid,” Jerry Paschal, and
with Paschal came some of the
zaniest feats an athlete ever had.
One of the first deeds Jerry was
to perform in North Carolina was
riding a wild mule. Jerry had
just moved to this state, and was
attending a fair. Naturally, the
first thing he saw that interested
him was a group of mules. There
was to bo a reward for the per
son who could ride one of the
mules, so Jerry promptly climbed
aboard one of them and stayed on.
There was only one hitch — he
didn’t get paid.
Many will remember last year-
in the state basketball tournament
when, in the Raleigh game. High
Point came back into the second
half leading by a small margin.
Paschal got the ball and tried a
beautiful shot—at the Raleigh
basket. Jerry received a letter
from Raleigh complimenting him
on his hearty effort. He has
played three years of basketball,
one in Oklahoma and two here.
In football he has played three
years, one in Oklahoma and two
years here. He was outstanding
in football last Pall.
Jerry has also played three years
of baseball. During his second
year in Oklahoma, he achieved a
9-1 won and lost record as a pitch
er. Some of his accomplishments
for last Spring include: Pitching
in four games, winning two
and losing none, and getting hit
twice by a pitched ball in the same
inning by the same pitcher. Among
his hitting sprees last year, Jerry
participated in four games, while
getting only two official times at
bat.
Soph: “Those are my grandmoth
er’s ashes over there.”
Fresh: “Oh, so the poor soul has
passed away.”
iSoph: “No, she’s just too lazy
to use the ash tray.”
“My worst sin,” she sighed, “is
vanity. I spend hours before the
mirror every day admiring my
beauty.”
“That’s not vanity, sister. That’s
imagination.”

down for their half-time rest they
were barely in front by a score
of 28-26.
But in the second half it was
an entirely different story. Coach
A. J. Simeon’s charges began hit
ting with clock-like precision and
were soon out in front with an
insurmountable lead of 46-38 at
the end of the third quarter. Near
the end of the game Simeon sub
stituted freely and the reserves
paced by Larry Rhodes exchanged
shots equally with the Eastern
division champs.
Last Game
For four of the Bison quint it
was the last time out in the blue
and white basketball uniforms.
Graduating as seniors this year
are Ken Yarborough, Jerry Pas
chal and Co-Captain Charlie Bry
ant. All-State Jack Powell has
been ruled ineligible by the State
High School Athletic Association,
thus completing his high school
cage career. Junior Prank Has
sell will be the only returnee from
the starting five.
After the final whistle Yarbor
ough and Hassell cut down the nets
while Jack Powell walked off with
the ball.
Among- the fans was a small
band composed of Jack “Butter-
ball” Petty on the bugle, George
Bright, trombone, and Fred Bean
with a cornet. These three with
a couple of hundred other students
“raised the roof” of the huge Duke
Indoor Stadium.

Spring Sports
Get Underway
As the spring term rolls around
High Point High School, local ath
letes are dividing their talents
among the five sports activities
offered at this institution. Early
baseball practice has already be
gun, and the diamond men will
again be coached by Mr. Carroll
Bowen. Along with the returning
lettermen will be several bright
prospects from last year’s Junior
American Legion team.
Cold weather has hampered
most sports from holding regular
practice, but the Bison trackmen
have been working out regularly
for about two weeks.
Tennis and golf will get under
way officially during the next week
if the weather permits. A few of
the Bison netters, and golfers have
put in a few days work, and regu
lar practice and try-outs will be
held in the future.
A few football prospects have
already started getting in shape
for the spring grid practice. Equip
ment will be issued tomorrow and
light drills will be the order for
Thursday. An inti-asquad game
will probably be held to wind up
the drills, if the turnout is satis
factory.

nual North Carolina Junior Hiigh

your honor.”
