played its last game on March
'27 which was its greatest victory,
though it was only its second win.
The girls met with the G. A. A.’s
of Northeast Junior High School.
Perndale led throughout the entire
game. The excellent playing otf
Edna Jessup, who was the main
scorer with 14 points, led to the
victory. With only one minute left
to play, Jessup fouled out. Susan
Kirkman took over and kept the
points rolling in until the last
second. The conclusive score was
'24-14.
The first time Ferndale met
Northeast, at Northeast, was Fern-
-dale’s first win. Once again, Jessup
brought her team through with a
score of 18-15.
The first game the G. A. A.’s
played was a shattering defeat.
After two short weeks of practice
they met with girls from Thomas-
ville in the High Point Central
High School gym. Thomasville re
turned home with a victory of 37-9.
They didn’t meet Thomasville a
second time.
When Perndale’s G. A. A.’s met
the next time, it was with High
Point Central High School. Though
they suffered another defeat, 31-22,
they made up for it by tying, 20-20
with Central High in their second
game. When the game was replayed
however. Central slipped by
with a 27-24 win.
Ferndale’s G. A. A.’s other op
ponent was Jamestown. It was a
close game all the way through
with Ferndale leading a defeat,
28-17. Their second game with
Jamesto'wn, played here, was also
a defeat, but Ferndale put up a
better fight each minute they play
ed, 13-12.
JV’s End With
7-3 Record
Parks Freeze
The “Junior varisty” seventh and
eighth grade basketball team finish
ed this season’s play with a seven
and three record. The team, coach
ed by Mr. Danny Roberts, did not
lose consecutively to any team
played, for all the teams winning
over our team, were defeated pre
viously or afterward by the seventh
and eighth grades.
The largest crowds were drawn
to the games with Northeast. Also
the Northeast games were the
most exciting, with one going in
to one overtime and the other being
won by Ferndale with a shot in
the last remaining seconds.

Ken McAllister with 78 points.
Only six points behind was Jim
my Comer wi'th 72. Butch Estes
was third with 53 and Bill Mc

the starting five with 23 points,
but what he lacked in the scoring
department he made up for in ball
handling.

Trojans Take Tri-Meet
Defeating Northeast
Parks Freeze
For as long as any Ferndale student can remember, the
Trojan track team has never lost a meet. On April 22, this
tradition was upheld as Ferndale trounced Northeast and
Thomasville with so wide a gap between the other two teams
that even if the Thomasville and Northeast scores were com
bined they would not have exceeded Ferndale’s total. At the
end of the meet the score stood; Ferndale 61%, Northeast
42%, Thomasville 5.
The meet opened with the 60 yard dash which was won by Ferguson
with a time of 6.1 seconds. Northeast took second and third and Griffin
took fourth for the 'frojans.
210 Champs
O nee Again
Rickey Burge
Homeroom 210, led by captain
Tom Foscue, Rickey Burge, and
tVorth Parker overcame a very com
petitive 117 cre-sy and won the
school championship in volleyball
by the score of 29-21. The boys of
117 did a wonderful job of playing
together, but they could not over
come the more experienced and tal
ler 210 boys. Captain Wayne Sut
ton, Chuck Cook, Butch Estes, War
ren Rives, and Bill McKenzie were
the outstanding players for home
room 117.
The “Thugs” of 210 defeated
homeroom 211 by the score of 40-
18 for the ninth grade champion
ship. This game was actually closer
than indicated by the score. It took
two games to decide the ninth
grade championship because of a
29-29 tie in their first meeting.
Outstanding players for 211 were
Bill Bradner, Moffette Harris, and
Ray Jennings.
Homeroom 117 defeated home
room 212 by the score of 30-20 for
the seventh and eighth grade cham
pionship. A surprising 212 team
was led by captain Eddie Craven
Gary Burton, Ken Kirkman, and
Larry Outlaw.

Things were really rollin’ in the
old band room here at Ferndale
a couple of weeks ago when the
girls’ gym classes put down the
mats and began tumbling ex
ercises. These include forward
rolls, backward rolls, fish flops,
and other similar coordination
builders.
Speaking of tumbling .... One
day Miss Elliott’s fourth period
gym class were rolling on the mats
when in walked Mr. Frye. He smil
ed said “This is just my speed,”
and promptly walked up to the
nearest mat and did a forward
roll.
We should be proud to know that
four girls from Ferndale have
been chosen as Junior Varsity
Cheerleaders for High Point Central
High. They are Lucy Latimer, Mol
lis Marsh, Jean Norman, and Susan
Hoskins.
In the basketball free-throw
tournament, Edna Jessup of 207
eame through with flying colors,
with eleven baskets out of 25 shots.
Janet Thompson of 211 was the
winner of ping pong. She won over
Susan Kirkman of 216.
Diana Thomas won out over Edna
Jessup in the badminton tourna
ment.
