Track Team

The 1977-78 Grimsley Track
season draws rapidly to a close as
the State Meet for the boys
approaches on May 26. Both girls
and boys teams have experienced
outstanding seasons despite the
fact that many gifted track and
field athletes have gone on to
successful college track careers.
Record-breaking times in the
running events this year include a
9:05.7 two-mile run by Dan
Morton (breaking all N.C. school
records and the state record by 8
seconds), a 4:18 Grimsley school
record-breaking mile by Dan
Morton, an 11:50 record-breaking
girls two-mile by Mollie Berry,
and a 4:17.5 girls Mile relay
record. In the field events Steve
Flinn registers a noted distance of
163’-3” in the discus, while
Bobby Bailey has lept a notewor
thy 13’-3” in the pole vault.
The GHS boys Track Team
recently finished eighth in the
rain-tormented Sectional Meet
consisting of 21 teams. The
Whirlies with 15 points finished
behind Dudley (42), Western
Guilford (26), Parkland (24),
North Forsyth (22), Burlington
Cummings ( ), Winston-Salem
Reynolds (17), and Page (16).
Only top qualifiers ran in this
highly selective meet where the
top form advance to the Region-
als. Despite the torrential rains
the meet ran on in to the wet
Friday evening with Steve Flinn
finishing third in the shot put with
145’-7”, Bobby Bailey jumping
12’-6” in the pole vault (despite
the fact that he borrowed a pole to
replace his which broke during
the competition), Dan Morton
finishing first in the two-mile run
with a time of 9:18.9 (New Meet
Record), and the GHS Mile relay
team (Bennett, McAdoo, Young,
Whitaker) finishing in 3:27.8.
The girls Sectionals held one
week earlier, Friday, May 5, were
won by Western Guilford. But
Grimsley’s girls managed to se
cure fifth place with a score of
16*/2, only V2 point behind fourth-
ranked Ragsdale, IV) points be
hind 3rd-placed Eastern Guilford,
and six points behind the Dudley
Panthers who came in second. Of
the 24 teams present at the
Dudley-located meet, Grimsley’s
Martha Alspaugh finished third
in the 440 yard dash with a 1:01.3
time, Mollie Berry and Kathy
Krege finished first and third in
the two-mile run with best times
of 12:08 and 13:25, respectively,
and the mile relay team crossed
the line second with a best time of
4:17.1. The top four runners in

Ends On A High hbo
Addict
each event qualified for the
Regional Meet at Icard, May 12
where Alspaugh, Berry, and
. Kregeset down their personal
best times.
The girls also finished third in
their conference of seven teams
with Dudley on top. Here again.
Berry, Krege, and Alspaugh led
the score as Mollie took the mile
and 880, Kathy the two mile, and
Martha the 440.
Mollie Berry now has her
leading two-mile time down to
11:50 (second in the Western
Regionals), a time many male
two-milers can easily relate to.
Meanwhile, N.C. State-bound
Dan Morton continues to domi
nate the headlines, “Morton Lea
der in Mile, Two Mile.” Accor
ding to the Greensboro Daily
News “The only double-leader (in
N.C.) is veteran Greensboro
Grimsley runner Dan Morton who
has the state’s best times in the
mile and two-mile runs.” And
those are the facts. Dan now
aspires to a breaking of his own
record into the sub-9 minute
range by May 26.
Inclement weather has certain
ly been a deterring factor in this
year’s GHS Tack Meet Schedule.
The Girls Sectionals were can
celled after qualifying times had
already begun, and the 13th
annual Guilford County Track
Meet was postponed twice April
26 and finally held on May 16.
Preliminaries were at 10 a.m.,
field events at 2 p.m. and the
running finals began at 7 o.m.
Oh teachers! Please forgive
me. I have a good reason as to
why my French isn’t translated
and why my algebra’s not com
pleted. Can 1 help it if I’m an
HBO ADDICT?!!!
It first struck me on May 4,
when those wonderful CENSOR
LESS, commercialless movies and
shows began pouring over the air
waves and into my television. I
just couldn’t tear myself away
from Paul Newman, Walter Mat
thau, Tatum O’Neal, and Ron
Howard.
Please forgive me, teachers,
but Robert Redford, James Caan,
Ryan O’Neal, Sean Connery and

Summer is well on its way, and
no Grimsley girl wants to be left
out of the fashion explosion that’s
taking place right now!
There are terrific looking
clothes stilP left on the racks, so if
you haven’t stocked up on your
summer wardrobe yet, you still
have a little time!
The big looks this year are
calf-length dresses made from
soft materials in either pastel
shades or very bright colors. The
peasant style is in this summer,
along with dress styles that are
returning to the 30’s era.
Look flowers everywhere as the
summer months approach. They
will adorn dresses in the form of
prints, as decorative accessories
on the dress, and as accessories
for the hair.
Ribbon belts with detachable
buckles are growing in popular
ity. A belt buckle can be attained
for approximately $8 -$10, with
leather belt strips usually costing
about $2 - $5. Ribbon belts can be
made rather inexpensively by
buying strips and ribbon from a
fabric store and glueing the
ribbon onto the belting.
Tailored shorts are popular for
the summer months, but making
a strong entrance into the fashion
scene are gym shorts. The white
kind stitched in your favority
school’s colors are a step in style.
Drawstring pants with billowy
blouses are a hot selling item in
many dress stores. Khakis are
again a popular summer stock
item.
Wrap-around skirts made out
of pretty print designs are also
creating a stir in the fashion
scene.
For the most part, simple
clothes that look and feel com
fortable are to be the guiding rule
in buying summer clothes. This
will be a summer of almost
anything goes. Just drop in at
your favorite dress shop and pick
up some of the greatest in
summer attire.
