a tiny bit of experience.

is so quick. You should see her capture
that ball and put it through the goal.
Ruth Watson was a star forward on
the basketball team of ’26. She was an
excellent track “man” and on the base
ball team of which she was captain,
she won the name of “Babe Ruth”. In

best-all-around-girl athlete.
Joe xYbernathy will soon he challeng
ing some in a track meet and permit
ting them to use roller skates while she
runs.
Although G. H. S. is bidding some
good night, she joyfully says good morn
ing to others, hoping they will surpass
the ones she bids adieu.

hardies like a frightened deer, while
Duella Walker keeps them all a little
in the shade.
Jane Harris, the manager of the track

ketball team.
Noble Hutchinson never failed to live
up to her name. Hutchinson and IJllian
Tye may be termed as baseball twins.

will not cripple its teams next year. The
coaches are expecting many good pros
pects from this year’s subs and upper
classmen.

it was this year for the exception of Ben

to have one of the finest tournament
teams in the state in Clyde Andrews,
John Sockwell, John Gillespie, and
George Stone.
'Track will lose Captain Homey, Luke
Glascock, and P. B. Whittington. Great
things are expected next year from
Theron Brown, Clarence Phoenix, Enoch
FTliott, and David Quate. Henry Brown,
brother of 'Theron, is expected to bring
in some j)oints for Greensboro. With a
few other good prospects in view, the
track team of next year should not be
handicapped by the loss of some old
timers.

loss. Hargrove and Lufty are the only
ones leaving. Burgess and Wyrick will
probably be here next spring if they do
not graduate mid-term.
