April 3, 1942 HIGH LIFE Page Five =H Sportsman's Holiday By EjARLf] HOLLIDAY THE BRESBXT WAR which is af fecting practically every phase of our lives, has shown up in our high school I issues of “Elasli comics” or “The Hrue- Waste Paper Woes or A Paper A Day Will Keep Hitler Away Many students may wonder just what kind of waste paper they could contribute to the paper campaign. High Life herewith publishes the following- list of acceptable items; First, all these scraps of paper bear ing such epitaphs as “Dear Jane, I love you truly. Do you love me truly?” vSecond, the papers you’ve been saving for years (all the ones you made TO or over on). Then there are your hack athletic program. • When Coach Stanley (Jabbo) John son announced the 1942 schedule of the Whiliwind diamond squad, many of the teams Greensboro has played in the past few years were missing. Al though conference foes dominated the list, teams of this vicinity will prob ably be met by the locals, but distant teams cannot be considered because of the transportation facilities. The same problem is facing other sports here and elsewhere, and it was one of the ma.1or factors causing Athletic Director Bob Jamieson to drop track from the local program. How ever, this didn't come as a shock to the school, as the participation and sup port of the Greensboro cinder team has been very low in the past seasons. The fact could lead into an inter esting discussion as all the other lead ing schools in the state have far sur passed Greensboro in all past meets. Each year Senior high has produced one or two outstanding cinder stars, many of whom are holding down col lege berths now, but never has a well- rounded team appeared. THE LACK OF SPACE here for the sport is a principal reason, hut one seldom touched on by fans is the lack of preparation for the event. All the .junior high schools include the major games on their programs, but track is rarely given any place of importance. This corner wishes to offer to local fans, who desire successful teams in the not-too-far distant future, the sug gestion to begin the sport in the other schools of the city. As a result it would tiourish here. • LITTTjE EMPHASIS has been placed by this column thus far this semester on the compulsory physical education program carried on here, as all over the state this year. Therefore the fol lowing lines are devoted to it. Logically speaking, this work has been needed for a long time, but it took the war to make this point clear to state authorities. The importance of a sound body as well as mind has been proved time and time again, and the present program is the first to bring this point home to every student. When the plan was announced, sounds of complaint could be heard all over the campus, but now' that the semester is half gone and directors Bob Jamieson, G. O. Mann and Miss Doris Hutchinson have been really showing their wares to each of the stu dents, it is hard to find anyone who doesn’t approve w'hole-heartedly with the program. O STEPPING OIM^ of the realm of high school sports, but to one of great interest to many students here at Sen ior high, we reach the sid)ject of pro fessional golf here at Greensboro. The big event of the year, the Greater Greensboro Open, is now classed as successful past history; and inciden tally, the number of familiar faces from Senior high at the event w'as more than you could count. But to the big golf question -which has been in the minds of local fans has been the possibility of the P. G. A. tourna ment coming to the city this summer. This matter w’as definitely settled TYed- nesday when the .laycees, sponsors of Greensboro Open, determined to leave the P. G. A. alone. some Tw'osome Funny-books.” Have you considered old snapshots (that you wouldn’t want your best I'riends to see), almanacs, cardboard boxes, paper cups, those cherished foot ball progr:uns? Finally there's a sug gestion for the femmes. If the girls are feeling particularly noble, they might give up even their paper-dolls. If not. dig around; you'll find some thing.

L Banquet Lillie :\Iiie Campbell and Marjorie Burns received the most outstanding girl’s athletic awards of the year at (he annual Girls’ Athletic association baiKpiet March 19.

Girls Making Dresses For Spring Sfyle Parade Easter in a home economics lab? Yes, but not in the form of bun nies, eggs or fluffy chicks usually associated with this spring holiday. Suits, dresses and skirts are rapid ly assuming a smart appearance as they near completion. These Easter costumes, made by members of Miss Zena Kibler’s home eco nomics classes, are the latest key notes for spring wear.

Hutchinson Searches For Keen Girl Golfers "If four girl .golfers with experience can be found at Senior, a group will compete with a High Point team April 9 at Emorywood country chdi," INIiss Doris Hutchinson, girls’ physical edu cation director, announced Jlarch 111. "So far onl.v two .girls that are will ing and able to play have volunteered, Marjorie Burns and B(>tty Jane Ross,” she continued. Interested persons are asked to talk with Miss Hutchinson immediately. Girls Report for Softball In commenting on other sports, she explained that approximately 56 soft- liall enthusiasts reported for si.gning up for iireliminary work March 25. The girls will practice catching, batting, pitching and outtield work for about three weeks before any games are sche duled with towns and local junior hi.gh schools. As soon as the courts are in condi tion for use, tennis practice for begin ners and experienced players will be gin. This year teaching beginners and girls with little experience the funda mentals and the elementary procedures of this exciting sport will be stressed. The practices will be,gin next Tues day and will continue on every Tuesday and Thursday for the next few months, Miss Hutchinson concluded. By EARL HOLLIDAY .\ow that baseball is .getting into full swing, it is apiiropriate that an out- staiidin.g diamond star should be dis- cus.sed here, and one of the shining lights for Poach Stanley (Jabbo) John son is Bennett Newell. Although play has not actually b('gun here at Senior high this year, the iier- formance if Newell for Johnson last year both for the school and .lunior Legion tcaim and has contimiancc' of it thus far in practici' proves his merit as a baseball player. .Mternates at Positions Till' vei'sat ilit.v ol Ae\V(41 on the dia mond is shown b.v his ability to play almost any jiosition on tlu' team. Last season he spent most of his tinu' on tlui k(>ystoii(' sack, but he saw action on (he rcH-i'iviiig (nid if the local batter.x'. During the sumnu'r Newell (‘xpanded l-.is duties to inclmU' (he mound also. Now that his m.-iinstay on th(> pitch ing staff for tlu' iiast (wo yiairs, Gcme Gottschalk, is gone, .lohnson will ]ieed at k'ast two good mound men this sea son and stv.-ms to have found them in Newc'll and Harold (Skinny) Brown, who was oiu' of the outstanding (ling- (u's in the state .lunior I.egion race last summer. One of Few Three-Lei ter Men During tlu' prestmt school ,\'('ar New ell has eai-ned himself a distinctive honor held b.v but a few athletes, that of iK'coming a three letterman. U(>turn- ing to school with one award, he im- nu'di.itel.v won himself a position on the .successful football ttxun as a tail back. On tlu' basketball ti>am last si'ason, lu‘ was one of the most colorful player,s on the team, and his playing for the TYestern conference champions won him a letter in that sport. Newell has had th(' misfortune to hold down positions on these two sports that were occupied by more experienced players. Jack D('mps(>y in football and Paptain J'om Aydelett(' in baskthball. but in his real game, baseball, Newell will be s(>cond to none. Warm Winds, Perhaps But Look Ahead to Next Winter CLEGG COAL CO.
