May 25, 1956 High Life Page Pint New Track To In Coming Campaigns Senior’s track, team looks for ward to a good season next year, as it ends this one, fifth in the state. Iiou Glascock paved the way for Greensboro by equaling one record and breaking another in the high and low hurdles. The cinder squad finished third in the Western AAA and second in the sectional meet. Better days are coming in Coach Glenn's point of view. “If the new track is finished by next year, it will improve the team 100 per cent.” states Coach Glenn. “Running on the grass around the football field slows the boys down about two seconds.” he added. “The Greater Greens boro Junior Relays will also be a big help in interesting boys in track and in developing them,” concluded Mr. Glenn. In 1957, the track team looks toward the state title with a pur pose. Coming back to aid the team are a multitude of veterans from this year’s team. Dashmen returning are Larry Rogers, Bob by Brown, and Lofus Neese. Brown and Neese also are broad-jumpers, and at the present time are jump ing 19 and 20 feet, which is good for high school talent. Boyce Crothers will be returning to fol low in Lou Glascock’s footsteps in the hiirdles. The 440 will be sought by Bob Grant and Dave Holt. Bob also does the high jump. Johnny Davis may be back for the 440 next year, if his nervous stom ach disorder is corrected. Accord ing to Coach Glenn, he would have been the probable state winner of the 440. The mile will be kept under control by Chuck WTye and Baxter Smith while Burt Wilder figures to be lord of the shotput and discus. Add all these ingredients, and you come out with the GHS track team. Watch out for the track boys in the Western AAA next! year. ■ 0 Mifchell Attends Meeting Ot N. C. French Teachers Miss Estelle Mitchell. French teacher, attended the spring meet ing of the N. C. Chapter of the American Association of Teachers of French at Duke University May 4. 5. For the Friday evening session, the French Department presented the annual French play at Page Auditorium.

Watkins Finishes Second In State Golfing Tourney Winning is the best way to end a season, isn’t it? The Senior High golf team did just that placing second in the state meet at Chapel Hill May 14 and 15. This was accomplished by the fact that Buddy Watkins finished second, George Murphy fifth, and Bradley Anderson 15th in the an nual tourney. At first glance, the four wins and five losses which constituted the regular season do not seem impressive. First glance, though, is misleading in some cases. Ac cording to coach Jamieson, the method of scoring which the high- school teams now use is not ad vantageous to the type of team which we have. Our linksmen play a steady, consistent game of M. Yates Wins Trophy AtAnnuaiAwards Day Martha Yates was awarded the girls’ athletic Alumnae trophy on May 17 at Awards Day on the basis of her leadership, sports manship, and skill in sports. She was selected to receive this by her fellow athletes. Any girl who had participated in at least one sport could vote. Vickie Stewart, Cynthia Burley, and Martha Yates also receiv^ athletic pins for acquiring 800 points. They received points for participating in sports. j Greensboro’s team defeated the Children’s Home in Winston-Salem in softball. Senior’s team was composed of Pat Gilley, Cynthia Burley, Billie Jessup, Vickie Stew art, Bobbie Tice, Barbara Mar shall, Kathleen Satterfield, Janice Black, Martha Yates, and Helen Euliss. Miss Margie Gabriel, girls’ ath letic coach, is giving up her po sition here at GHS and is going to teach physical education at Terry Parker High School in Jackson- ■ville, Florida. Five girls have been selected as new members of the Girls’ Ath letic Council. They are Prissy Wyrick, Lillian Lorings, Brenda Ammons, Janice Black, and Billie Black, and Billie Jessup.

Baseballers Finish Fourth; Inheiders Key To Future Gobel To Star In Movie 1.1 Local Theatre Soon BY BETTY ROSE School days, school days, Dear old golden rule days. Scody hody do da day They’re almost over hoo-ray! Yea, man, and everybody who is ansrbody is going to celebrate by taking in television comic George Gobel’s first movie “The Birds and the Bees” in the air- golf all the way around. Because ! coiiditioned comfort of the CARO- of this, it would be better for them THEATRE any time on Sun- to play, using the medal-play. Monday, or Tuesday. method of scoring instead of the match-play. Says Coach Jamie son, “We are going to try to score our matches next year by medal play instead of match play.” Match play is scored by the num ber of holes won, while medal play is the number of strikes ^a'Ken by th‘. go.fer. Next year promises to shape up very favorably for the up-and- coming young team. Buddy Wat kins will be lost from the squad, but there are plenty of sopho mores waiting to step into his shoes. First place in the state Is an elusive position, but that's the direction in which the Whirile golf team is pointed. tended this performance at the invitation of Amanda McConnell, GHS alumna of 1954, who had a part in the play. Saturday’s prc^am consisted of a pedagogical sesion and a speech in French by Mr. Yoes Taulian, a French student and Pullbright grantee at Chapel Hill. His sub ject was Le Poujadisme. In this picture starring also Mitzi Gajmor, Geoi^e Gobel is a i millionaire hot dog king’s bashful I son whose main Interest in life is snake hunting. On his way home from one of his trips to the Congo he meets Mitzi Gaynor. What he doesn’t know is that Mitzi. her father, and brother are card sharks, and he’s thrir target for the trip. This scheme to fleece him hits a snag, however, when Mitzi falls for his shy and naive manner. “Forbidden Planet,” MGM’s first science fiction' drama in Cinemascope and color, will be the attraction at the CAROLIKA THEATRE Wednesday through i Saturday. A story of suspenseful adven ture on a remote planet in 2200 AD, the picture casts Walter Pidgeon as a fugitive from Earth, who has also absorbed all the scientific knowledge of the ages. The learning thus acquired turns against him and threatens to de stroy his daughter, and the crew of a space ship which has been sent to rescue them.—^Ad. Wilson “Woody” Camithers, ace pitcher, provided one of the few bright spots of the Whirile baseball campaign. Camithers garnered five of the team’s wins. He won his first two outings in fine fashion, winning the first one ovot Cranbrook, Michigan. On his next trip to the hill he fired a brilliant no-hitter at Charlotte Central. Errors cost the Whirlies sev eral key games but most of those can be attributed to relative in experience of boys at important positions. We can be assured, however, that these will be cut down in the ’57 campaign, be cause the entire infield plus ade quate reserves will return Several boys displayed power at the plate. Owen Johnson was prob ably the most consistent of the Whirlie batters as he swatted sev eral home runs and triples. First baseman Bill Mock prc^ded the long ball, athough not proficient ly. Looking ahead to next year, it will be a veteran aggregation with approximately seven regulars re turning. At first base Bill Mock, a two- year veteran who is adequate on defense and sometimes potent at bat, will return to the initial sack. Spencer Gaylord and Benny Abc^athy divide the chores nt second base. Both will be on hand for next year’s team. Hitting seems bo be the weak point of the two, as both field well. Earl Shelton will return to the shortstop post. He came throu^ offensively as well as defensively this year. Backing him up is Steve ShJosser who handled the shortstopping chores well when In serted into Coach Julian Smith’s lineup. If he stays physically well, Ben ny McKee will ^ the third base- man on next year’s club, Benny had trouble with his ankle, and because of that, a void was often left at the hot comer. In the outfield Paul Sams and Jay Rrame will be the only ones missing when the bell rings to start next year’s season. Harold Wrenn, the centerfielder who had scholastic troubles, will return to patrol the outer gardens. Bill God frey, a hard-hitting left-hander will again be in the right field. Ernie Pruitt who started the year as the right-fielder probably rates the nod at the other outfield post. Behind the plate, Owen John son has the situation well in hand. He hits well and has a good arm. J. C. Rainey backs him up with “mitt and mask.” On the mound will probably be the only place where graduatkai will hurt. Wilson Camithers will be gone, but fireballer Larry Gill appears ready to fill the gap. As for a good second line pitciier, stylish left-hander Larry Cray ton is a nominal (dioice. Another pitcher with definite promise is Linwood Oates. Summing up, the Whirlies will definitely have a veteran ball club next year. They should give anybody in the Western AAA cir cuit a rough time. 0 Kiwanis Club Presents DE'er With Loving Cup Betty Rae Stanford has been chosen as the first winner of a loving cup which is to be present ed to her by the Gate City Ki- wanis Club for being outstanding member of the Distributive Edu cation Club.
