September 17, 1954 High Life Page Five The Way I See It BY BOOTSIE O’BRIANT ig Girls—at last you have a chance to play football! Well, of a sort— it’s actually hallball, a new game for girls, and it’s great fun! Hallball is played with a junior size, rubber football by two teams of 14 players each. Each team con sists of an offensive and a defen sive platoon of seven players. The object of the game is for the of fensive platoon to score a touch down by passing, into the oppon ents’ end zone, while the defensive platoon attempts to prevent a score by intercepting or breaking up passes. As in boys football, a score may also be made by .a safety. The game was originated on the Woman’s College campus by Miss Ellen Griffin of the Physical Edu cation Department. It’s fun to watch and the girls love to play it! Cynthia Hughes, second period phys ed student, decided during one of the first classes that the girls should have some warm-up exercises to keep them from get ting too tired. As a result she was putting them through the paces with a “hup-two-three-four” until Miss Gabriel caught her. Look in on one of Miss Gabriel’s classes and see a game of hallball. You’ll enjoy it! » Gym Conversation: During one of the hotter days, when everyone was taking a breather, the convert sation in the gym turned to the Youth Center situation. Several Madison at Aycock WHITE GAS- ROAD SERVICE Telephone No. 4-9123 people were concerned about open houses after the basketball games. It was suggested that maybe the girls’ gym could be cleaned up a bit and decorated and that ping- pong tables and other recreational facilities could be placed in the old boys’ gym. These could be used during the lunch periods as well as for open houses. Also pro posed was a sock hop in the new gym. Sounds like a couple of pretty good ideas! Art Dept. Forms Les Artists Club Les Artistes is the name of the new club organized by the second year art students of the Senior High Art Department who met for the first time Wednesday night, September 8, at the Greensboro Community Center.

' o Youth Center Disbands For the first time in seven years Senior High students start back to school lacking the facilities of a Youth Center. This summer funds supplied for the upkeep of “the Loft” were dis- I continued by the Greensboro Com munity Chest, forcing the Center to disband operation. Although the $5 membership fee covered part of the operations, it had to be sup plemented by funds from the Chest. Brokie Lineweaver, president of the Youth Council, and members of the Council held meetings, an open forum, and were on tele vision during the summer in an effort to keep it open; but in Au-; gust it was definitely established; that there would be no financial! support. However, the Chest didi say that any effort to get a new Youth Center would get their moral backing. Brokie announced in a junior- senior assembly held on Wednes day, September 8, that since the lease ran until December. “The Loft” would hold open houses after the five home football games. Tick ets for these open houses are 25 cents a piece and can be bought only at Senior High. Acting as tem porary director for the after-game activities is Mr. William D. Caff- rey, principal of Mclver School. The open house tonight is being sponsored by the Junior Chamber of Commerce.
