Morton has also run the mile in 4:23.d and the 800 meters in 2:01.2. Dan, a Junior, is running the two mile in the State, and he will go against Billy Lynch of Sanderson who has a 9:12 two mile. Morton is still no. 1 ranked in the mile. In head to head competition Garcia Chavis remains undefeat ed in the high and low hurdles. He has beat both hurdlers ahead of him in the track polls. Garcia beats the other hurdlers in his amazing speed at over the last four hurdles as his start is not the best. Distance runners have had a good year with David Irvin leading the way. Irvin has clocked a 4:31 mile, and he has captured 3rd in the City-County and 4th in the conference. Scott Imbus has run a 4:42 mile and a 2:04 880.

Bests relay splits are Charlie Brown 22.3, Lewis McCormick 23.0, Grady Yourse a super 21.9 and the fantastic anchorman Garcis Cha vis with a 21.2. If the team getsit together and runs there best on the same day it could shatter the record. The mile relay team composed of Bailey, Brown, Reco Chavis and Bennett hopes to lower its 3:28 in the Regional track meet. In the City-County track meet first places were recorded by Garcia in the highs and lows, Morton mile, 880 relay team, Bobby Bailey Pole Vault.

Sugg is having a fine season in the discus andis no. 8 in the state. To get to the State Champion ship, one must go through the sectional, regional then state. In the sectional the top four advance, while Garcia set a new sectional record in the 110 meter High Hurdles of 14.30 as he also won the 180 lows and anchored the winning school record 880 relay. Morton set a new record in the 2 mile of 9:37.3 Sugg placed 2nd in the discus behind State leading Glen Morris of Western Guilford.

The girl’s team will be very good next year as it only has two Baseball Season by Lisa McDowell All things must come to an end. Along with the closing of school, comes the end of the sports seasons. The ending is not such a happy one for the GHS Baseball Team. The final record for the conference stands at 5-12. On May 10, the second to the last game was played. Grimsley’s boys topped High Point Central by one run. With the score at 7-3, and one out, pitcher Glenn Ford stepped into the game in relief of Mark Hardeman, and pitched 5 3/5 innings of hitless ball. This really picked up the game for the Whirlies. Don Dempsey hit a triple in the sixth inning, pulling the score to 7-6. Two more runs were made, bringing the final score to 8-7, Grimsley’s victory. The last game of the conference was played on May 12 at Jaycee Park. GHS faced Page and came away with a beautiful win over the Pirates, with the final score 7-2. In the sixth inning, the score, Grimsley 5, and Page 0, another Disappointing vault again. sophomores Jackson 11.8 and Dottie Fulp 12.0 lead the way, and the 220 has 27.3 Walker and 27.4 Gantz. Martha Alspaugh has repeatedly lowered the school Continued on same page Netters Finish Second by Gary Sue This year’s Grimsley Tennis Team finished the season with a 10-5 season and a second place finish in the Conference Tourna ment. The Whirlie netters second place finish came as somewhat of a surprise to many who figured them to finish as low as fourth. Just last week the Whirlies qualified three players for the State Tournament in Chapel Hill. Cliff Abels finished off four straight netters before losing in the semi-finals, thus qualifying him for the State Tournament. In doubles Mark Yost and Gary Sue qualified for the State Tourna ment. Overall the Whirlie netters claimed 11 points to finish in third place in the Sectionals. Cliff Abels finished the season with a 9-4 record in the first flight division. In the second flight Dicky Vaughan had a 8-5 record, followed by Gary Sue who finished the season with a 10-4 record. In the fourth flight Mark Trexler had a 8-6 season. George Poulas at the number five flight finished at 10-4, and at the number six position Mark Yost finished with a 11-3 season. Overall the season was a pleasant surprise for the Grimsley netters who did better than expected, but the Whirlies look for bigger and better things with next year’s team. The Last Time made a run on an overthrow. Ashley Apple hit a double and Billy Tsintzos ran in to make the score 7-0. This game showed the improved pitching skills of the Grimsley Team. John Hodges pitched in the seventh inning, starting off by walking one pirate; then. Page’s pitcher, Tom McLaughlin hit a home run which gave Page their only 2 runs. Ashley Apple made contact with the wall when trying to catch McLaughlin’s long, fly ball. Having lost to Page earlier in the season, this was a great victory for Grimsley. Spirits were especially aroused because of this being the last game of the conference. If the team could have done as good the whole season as they did in the last two games, the record would stand with many more wins. Hopefully, next year, the team will get off to a better start and produce a terrific season for all us Whirlie fims. by Billy Tsintzos Hello everybody, this is your friendly neighborhood Bench- warmer cornin’ at ya for the very last tim%. I don’t really know how to end my career here, as I have gone through a solid year of writing only wild junk and cutdowns. The students are usually at my throat for some comment 1 may have printed, and the teachers are full of criticism for my not-so-proper grammer. But what can I say, that’s my bag, and since this is my final Benchwarmer, I’m gonna conti nue with my own style for just one more time. Throughout the year 1 have written about many athletes, but 1 do have my favorites that 1 prefer to mention more than others. Mainly because I’m positive they won’t attack me afterwards...! hope. Lemme just run few a couple of them and explain what made them famous, as well as their plans for the future. First-off there is the intelligent Grady Yourse. Grady, who was an honorable member of our Hi 10 team, was famous for plucking the feathers out of an eagle while the bird was carrying on one of its’ life functions. As you can suspect he did have slight trouble with the bird. Grady will attend Yale, where afterwards he will attend Oxford. After his graduation from these two highly esteemed schools, he will open a • fried chicken joint where he may put his brain to use. Another famous football star was Charles Boozle Jones. If everyone has heard of Punt, Pass, and kick competion for young athletes, you must have heard of the Pour, Mix and Swallow contests for young delinquents. Charles will attend Bud and Joes College where he will study the science of internal consumption. After graduation, he will already have a job, taste testing at Schlitz brewery, being the most advanced in his field. Soccer star Fred De Luca was Contlnaed from above record in the 440 and it is now 60.9. The hurdlers have run close all year with Janis Hall in 16.0 in the 1 lO’s and 8.8 in the 60 hurdles while Leslie Groome is 15.9 and 8.9. Distance are led by Molly Berry but upcoming sophs with promise widely known for his quiet, cooperative, considerate, and congenial manner of speech. Fred will bypass college as he has already talked his way into the national organization called SMART MOUTHS of AMERICA. Continuing on to basketball; Hugh “Pic" Elkins was widely known for his feats on the foothills. After attending SPED University, he will continue his mountain climbing career in the Appalachian Alps. Gary “the boy” Sue was not widely known for Chapel Hill, and 1 stop right there. .Gary received a full academic scholarship to the U.S. Marines, and afterwards he will join the secret service agency, W.H.l.M.P. Onward to baseball, pitcher John Hodges was known for his frequent handling of MICRO. He really enjoyed it because I can always hear him and his brustle-headed buddy singing about it. Johns’ college career and life will be ended by the disease known as marriage. Discus thrower and shot-putter Mark Sugg was known for his highly acclaimed book. How To Eat A Cow Wlthoot Burping. Mark will not attend college because he just can’t seem to leave the dinner table. As for swimming, John Gr, Gre, Grecea, Grea, whatever, 1 insist on not writing anything demeaning about you, for fear of. retaliation from your brother. But I must write about someone else, someone deadly, someone all life consuming, someone macabre, someone called...Geefer. Before 1 end my final Benchwarmer 1 just want to say Geefer is one cool dude, 1 wrote more junk about him than anyone else, but he took it like a man...sometimes. Now it’s time to say good-bye. Its been a blast writing this article and 1 hope you enjoyed it. So I presently resign my post as Mr. Benchwarmer and say my final...so long. are Kathy Krege with a 5.57 mile and 2.39 880 which is good her first year. Terri Osborne is another miler in 6:05. Coaches Lambert, Sawyer, Smith, Colson and Woodard hope the combined girl’s and boy’s track will continue to progress to State Championship potential.
