Who^s Who In Leadership
Good leadership is the ability
to a-groui^Qf_0epple Msely.
Everyone exerts a certain amount
of leadership over some group of
people but there are few persons
who exert wise leadership over a
relatively large number of people.
Dudley is blessed to have a few of
these people.
The Dudley Chapter of the Na
tional Honor Society wishes to
accord some of these people some
well deserved recognition. In or
der to do this we are going to
recognize one person each month,
who in that month has shown the
greatest amount of leadership, as
Leader of the Month. Students
chosen during the first period of
the year are as follows: Septem
ber, Lazelle Free; October, ShMey
Taylor; November, David Dansby;
December, Harvey Ramseur; Jan
uary, Annie Suber.
September—In the month' of
September the outstanding leader
was Lazelle Free, chief of Patrol.
Free showed his driving leader
ship ability by organizing the
Safety Patrols in a smooth func
tioning organization. The patrols,
under Free’s leadership, helped
both old and new students alike
to adjust to the new school year.
It was largely because of Free
and his Patrols that the school
year got off to such a good start.
He is also Vice-President of the
National Honor Society, a mem
ber of the Marshals, the French
Club and a member of the Dra
matics Club.
October—^For the month of Oc
tober there could be no better
leader than our Miss Homecom
ing, Shirley Taylor. Shirley reign
ed with great dignity and poise.
She proved to be a popular leader
in that she was elected by a
large majority. Shirley set a
good example for the Miss
Homecomings of the future to fol
low. She is a member of the Span
ish Club, Mixed Chorus and Pa
trol Force.
November—^David Dansby, Pres
ident of the National Honor So
ciety, was chosen for his work in
November with both the Band
and the Honor Society. As presi
dent of the band, Dansby was in
strumental in leading the band to
a successful marching season. He
supplied the extra pep that is
needed in making up a good band.
Dansby didn’t just limit his ac
tivities to the band, he proved
power in the National Honor So
ciety. It was largely due to his
work that the Honor Society in
stallation was a success. David is
also a member of Spanish and
Bus Drivers Clubs. Beside all of
this, he is also Captain of the
Safety Patrols.
December — In December we
would like to recognize the Captain
of the football team, Harvey “Boon
Dock” Ramseur. Ramseur receiv
ed a special honor when he was
selected to play in the Shrine
Bowl game which is the high
school All-Star Game. As presi
dent of the Art Club Ramseur
played! a large role in the erecting
of the Christmas decoration on
the front lawn of the L. Richard
son Hospital. He also belongs to
the Jr. Red Cross, Teenage Club
and the Hi Y Club.
Special mention must also be
given to Nathaniel Brown who
also played in the Shrine Bowl
Game. Brown proved to be the
offensive star for the Western
All-Stars.

“All good things come to those
who wait” is a familiar saying
which is applicable to Dr. Tarpley
as he has recently seen come to
fruition two of his dreams—the
new addition to the high school
and added facilities at the YMCA.
He has worked hard in an effort
to see these things materialize and
in keeping with the zeal which
went into his activities toward a
better school and a broader pro
gram at the Hayes-Taylor Y, he
was selected to make the main
address at the dedication of the
new facilities.
Since that time many fine com
ments have been forth coming
with regard to his address, which
stressed the “Intangible but eter
nal values of the Y.
In the address he said that they
are character building values, in
tangible values which cannot be
measured in dollars and cents,
seen or handled or calculated in
materials.
Other guests, who
//
remarks were Caesar Cone, who
donated the . original building,
Spencer Love, and A. H. Parker,
Chairman of the Chest’s capital
funds committee, who were pre
sented with the plaques for out
standing service to Greensboro;
C. T. McNairy, Central Y presi
dent; Mrs. Warren Ashby, Down
town Y.W.C.A. president; and T.
Spencer Meyers, executive direc
tor of the Greensboro United
Fund.
Those attending saw nearly
$300,000 worth of additions to the
Y. These included swimming pool,
gynmasium, locker rooms and
showers, women’s lounge, boys’ de
partment and renovations to the
original building.
The Lincoln Junior High School
Band, directed by J. D. Morgan,
gave a half-hour concert before
the dedication program.
Other entertainment was furn
ished by the Gray-Y Boys, Evan-
der Gilmer, Hayes Taylor Boys
Glee Club, The Y-teens and the
Greensboro Men’s Glee Club.
