104 Overcomes 210 For
Girls’ Volleyball Grown
Mary Anne Creech
Eighth grade homeroom 104 bare
ly edged out room 210 f6r the school
volleyball championship. With Dee
Dee Parham as captain, 210 fought
hard through the entire game but
couldn’t manage to overcome the
outstanding eighth graders. 104
showed excellent skill in winning
by racking up 41 points to 210’s
27. Outstanding were Edna Jessup,
104’s captain, Sandra Odham, and
Carolyn McBride. 210 was led by
Peggy Hart, Pat Thorburn, and
Nancy Hutto.
104 defeated homeroom 115 for
the seventh and eighth grade
championship with a score of 62-19.
Outstanding performances were
shown by Martha Lee Watkins
from 116 and Brenda West of 104.
The ninth grade championship
was won by 210 with the final score
being 210 with 44 points to home
room 105’s 33. Outstanding from 105
were Doris McNeal, Joan Asbury,
and Frances Franklin. From 210,
Ginny Gray and Jody Morgan put
in excellent performances.
Homeroom 205 and 104 played
three hard-fought games for the
eighth grade championship. The
final game was give and take the
whole way, but 104 pulled ahead
by a slim 3 points in the closing
minutes. Outstanding plays were
shown by Liba Rogers, Claudia
Scott, and Lucy Latimer, all from
room 205. 104 was led by captain
Edna Jessup and Beverly Bullin.
116 downed 4 with a score of
44-42 for the seventh grade cham

Becky Cain.
Girls’ Basketball Team Has
4-0 Mark; Beat Rebels Twice
Dee Dee
Miss Vickey Elliott’s Femdale
Junior High Girls’ Basketball Team
ended their four game season with
the title of “undefeated.” The start
ing offensive, Peggy Hart, Pam
Marion, and Candy Stell racked up
a total of 104 points.
Britt Armfield, Joan Asbury, and
Dee Dee Parham held the
fierce on-slaught of the opponents
with a crippling defense.
Substitutes assisting the ^ first
team were forward, Patsy Winfrey,
and guards, Lauia Lentz, Susan
Hendrix, and Phyllis McDowell.
Playing both positions when need
ed were Pat Thorburn and Kitty
Woodruff.
The first game, played against
Miss Hester’s Senior High team,
was filled with excitement both on
the part of the players and specta
tors.
The last quarter ended with a
buzz of a horn and a final score of
22-21 in favor of Ferndale Junior
High. Leading the list of scorers was
Peggy Hart with ten points, fol-
Stell both with six.
Their second win was again over
Senior High, but not so easily
obtained. The fighting teams went
through two overtimes. Throughout
the entire game the tension ap
peared on the faces of both teams.
At the end of the game the score
was 24-24. This led to overtime.
Senior high hit their first shot,
and in the last few seconds Fem
dale dropped one in, leaving the
score 26-26. Sudden death was call
ed. The ball was kept on our side
Parham
of the line for most of the time
and then Peggy Hart went in for
a lay up, making the final score
28-26.
Again Peggy Hart scored highest
with 17 points; Candy Stell follow
ed with 8 and Pam Marion with 3.
Britt Armfield and Dee Dee Parham
fouled out in the last two minutes
of the game.
Ferndale’s next victim was North
east Junior High. The old time
rivals put up quite a fight until
the last quarter and then Fern-
dale took over. The team left North
east standing still while they gain
ed a steadily growing lead. The 12
point lead was obvious when the
game ended 35-23.
Peggy Hart with 16 points was
at the top of the list for points
followed by Candy Stell with 12
and Pam Marion with seven.
But Northeast couldn’t stand for
the win and so Femdale was chal
lenged again. The Rebels put up
quite a battle but just didn’t add
up to Femd-ale’s strength. Femdale
took the honors 22-19, with Candy
Stell high scorer with 11 points,
Peggy Hart with nine, and Pam
Marion with two.
Miss Elliott decided to start the
basketball team a week before the
first game which gave the girls lit
tle time to practice and prepare.
They met on that Saturday before
the first game and every day after
school till 5:30. Miss Elliott seem
ed proud of her girls and plans to
continue the idea of a girls’ basket
ball team in future years.
9th Graders
End With
8-3 Record
Chip Crissman
When the 1961-62 basketball sea
son came to an end, the Ferndale
Trojans had collected an eight and
three won-lost record by beating
Thomasville, Lexington, and North
east twice, and Reidsville, Central
Davidson, and Ragsdale once.
In Femdale’s seventh start of
the basketball season, they were
closely defeated by the fighting
Reidsville team which won by a
mere two points, 39 to 37. At the
end of the first quarter, the score
was six to four in favor of Reids
ville and at the half it was 16 to
12 with Reidsville still on top. How
ever, in the second half Femdale
outscored Reidsville, 25 to 23, but
this was not enough to catch the
opposition.
In this game Femdale was led
by Gary Embler who collected 12
points and Bamy Cook who had 11
points.
Ferndale’s nekt game was with
Lexington at Lexington. This was
to have been played about a month
earlier, but it was postponed be
cause of snow. The game was easily
won by Ferndale, 55 to 30. Ferndale
led throughout the game from the
first quarter until the end of the
game in which everybody on the
team played.
Ferndale had two players in dou
ble figures, Eddie Dyer with 14 and
Bill Southerland with 13.
In the Trojan’s next game, they
traveled to Jamestown to play the
Ragsdale High School Junior
Varsity. The Ragsdale team was too
much for Femdale’s overcoming
them, 49 to 35. The fact that Rags
dale had more height and that Fem
dale’s cagers were not making their
shots with their usual consistency
were important factors in Fem
dale’s loss.
Barry Cook with ten points and
Eddie Dyer with eight points led the
Trojans, followed by Gary Embler
with six and Bill Southerland and
James Kelly who had four each.
Femdale’s final game of the sea
son was with the Northeast Rebels,
who were barely edged out in the
last quarter by Femdale, 44 to 41.
Northeast jumped to the lead in
the first half, leading by nine points
at the half, 27 to 18. However, in
the second half, Femdale really
started playing and caught fire,
moving to a three point deficit at
the end of the third quarter, 36 to
33. The last quarter was a hot bat
tle for the lead which switched at
least four times before Ferndale
went ahead to stay at 42 to 41 on a
shot by Bill Southerland with 24
seconds left. The final two points
for insurance were added by John
Koontz with two clutch foul shots.

205 Crushes 118 For
Boys’ Volleyball Title
Eddie Dyer
School Championship , ^ ^ -
A fired-up team from Mrs. Elizabeth Beamon’s Bombers
homeroom of 205 ran over the absence-ridden Mrs, Beverly
Shideler’s room of 118 for the school volleyball champion
ship of 1961-62. Although 205 walloped 118 by the score of
46-15, the score might have been closer if all of 118’s players
had been present. Nothing can be taken away from 205’s
beautiful teamwork, though. The spiking of Ken Rhyne plus
the leadership of Bill Bradner aided the Bombers drive to
victory. Paul Kindley and James Hurley held their make
shift team together well for the losing cause.
Seventh and Eighth
7th and 8th Graders
Have 3-6 Record
Chip Crissman
For the seventh and eighth grade
team of Ferndale, this season did
not end as well as expected. After
the first six games, their record
was three and three. However, the
seventh and eighth gradeers went
cold after this, losing their last
three games bringing their record
to its present won three and lost
six.
The seventh and eighth gradea-s
of Femdale were defeated in their
seventh game of the season by
rival Northeast, 29 to 20. Femdale
took a beating in this game being
outscored in every quarter except
the last.
In this game Femdale only had
three scorers. Bill Bradner with 14,
Steve McDowell with four, and
Rickey Burge with two points.
By out-scoring Femdale, seven
to one, in the second quarter of
the next game, Jamestown took the
lead and beat Femdale, 35 to 30.
Leading eleven to nine after the
first quarter, Femdale scored only
one point in the second quarter,
handing the lead to Jamestown
until the end.
Bill Bradner was also the high
scorer in this game with 10 points,
followed by Ken Rhyne with seven
and Rickey Burge with six.
The next game was played with
Northeast again and this game was
also won by Northeast, 35 to 29.
Northeast had command of the
game all the way after the first
quarter. The game was extremely
rough with a lot of fouling by both
teams.
Once again Bill Bradner was the
top scorer with nine points, fol
lowed by Ken Rhyne with seven
points, and Mac Younts with five
points.
The seventh graders of 109 prov
ed to be just another stepping-stone
for the Bombers of 205. Although
the seventh graders played hard
and well, they did not have the class
of their eighth-gp'ade elders, the
final score being 40-28.
Even though their team lost,
Greg Nicholson, Chuck Cook, and
Gary Tucker each played a good
game. Ken Rhyne, Bill Bradner, Tom
Foscue, and Steve Byerly played
well for the Bombers.
Ninth Grade
The ninth grade championship
was decided this year between
rooms 204 and 118, but 118 took
an early lead and wouldn’t give it
up. 204 had a late surge but it
wasn’t enough to overcome the
lead of 118. Leading 118 were Paul
Kindley, Mike Tucker, and James
Hurley. For 204, Lance Manors,
Tony Gibson and Steve Brumfield
turned in commendable perfo'rm-
ances.
Eighth Grade
Another victim of 205’s machine
was 104, who was defeated by
Beamon’s Bombers, by the score of
42-21. 104 put up a valiant effort
to overcome 205 but could not
compete with the strong defensive
and offensive depth of the Bombers.
Leading 104 in their almost-suc-
cessful drive to victory were
“Hoppy” Whitaker, Ricky Burge,
and Mike Hepler.
The Bomber’s outstanding players
were Tom Foscue, Ken Rhyne, Bill
Bradner, and Steve Byerly.
Seventh Grade
109 defeated 112 for the seventh
grade championship with Greg
Nicholson, Chuck Cook, Gary Tucker
leading the way with a brilliant dis
play of serving and teamwork.
Although the margin was 36-21, the
game was closer than the 15 point
spread. 112 threatned to take the
lead several times but 109 fought
back to subdue them.
