November 2, 1956 High Life Page Five Girl Athletes Unsupported; Lack of Interest Evident What sort of opportunities and facilities are available to the girls who are really Interested in phys ical education? Our athletic program is as im portant to us as the boys’ is to them, yet we don’t have anyone to back our events and few people even come to our games and give us the support we need to win. We have to work hard for every thing we do, yet get little publicity. Look at all the many trophies the boys can win in every sport, yet the girls have to pick just one out of all the many deserving girls who have worked so hard for their team. What do the oth ers have to show for their work? Nothing! Not even a star or letter. Once in a while someone is able to acquire the 800 points needed for a state pin-^-but not very often. ....The Student Council has opened the girls’ gym at lunch for recre ational games. After school the Youth Recreation Committee opens the gym for dancing; then after football games and sometimes bas ketball games the girls’ gym is again opened for dancing. Now this is all a wonderful project and the girls are for it all the way, but why does it have to be in the girls’ gym? That, of course, is definitely out of the question be cause it would ruin the boys’ floor -—just as it has ours. People come in with wet and muddy feet and dance and scuffle all over our basketball floor in their ^oes until it is now at a point so dead that basketballs hardly bounce. ...-Why can't something be done about all this? Is it the fault of the student body, administration, or what? On the whole, the girls have made an excellent record for the team and for the school as well— winning the speedball playday this year, having an undefeated season in basketball last year and along with that setting many new scoring records, and finally bring ing home he beautiful trophy from the important field day in High Point last year. But it hasn’t come easy. “We’ve had to really dig and work hard for all this.

Alec Guinnes Stars In Comic British Film Featured at the VICTORY THEATRE the next two weeks are four Superb shows. Starting November 2 is a British picture produced by J. Arthur Rank, “The Ladykillers,” featur ing Alec Guniness and 77 year old Katie Johnson. The story is a rollicking comedy about an old lady who unwittingly became in volved in a bank robbery. Alec Guniness, posing as a musician, is boarding at the lady’s house, and is the “villian.” Coming up November 9 and 10 is that fantastic, widely discussed musical, “The King and I,” star ring Deborah Kerr and Yul Bryn- ner. The story is of an English school teacher who journeys to Siam with her son to instruct the King’s many children. The movie is overflowing with colorful scenes, catchy songs, and has a good plot. The GHS Wheel Club is selling tickets to this show. They are only 50c for students and adults, 25c for children. Playing November 11 and 12 is “One Desire,” casting Anne Bax ter, Rock Hudson, and Julie Adams. It is the rugged tale of oil-boom Oklahoma in the early 1900’s. Miss Baxter is in the role of a gambling hall operator. Rock Hudson as the gambling dealer and Julie Adams as the daughter of a powerful frontier banker who strongly injects herself as the “other woman” in the romance that develops between the other two. Beginning November 13 is an other English comedy, “The Light Touch.” The main character is John Hawkins, who told off his boss, intimidated his in-laws, browbeat his wife, and needled his neighbors, AND ALMOST GOT AWAY WITH IT.—AD.
