Helen G. Smith, Former Southern Pines
Athlete, Is Popular Chapel Hill Coach
Mrs. William Smith, the former
Miss Helen. Grey of Southern
Pines, is the subjct of a highly
complimentary article published
in the newspaper of the Chapel
Hill High school, where she is
teaching physical education during
her husband’s final, year as a law
student at the University.
Mrs. Smith was formerly a star
athlete at the Southern Pines
High school. At college she has
continued in physical education
work. In the summer of 1948 she
and her husband headed the rec
reation program and summer ath
letics at his home town, Green
ville, and last summer she held
a similar position at Durham
while her husband studied at
summer school.
Her sister Mary, now Mrs. J.
H. Downing of Littleton, N. H.,
and younger brother Tommy were
also notable athletes during their
high school days here and Tommy,
is majoring in physical education
at his college, ECTC, Greenville.
They are the children of Mr. and
Mrs. Maxwell Grey.
Says the. article:
Champion of champions, that is
exactly what CHHS has in Mrs.
William Smith,, who is the girls’
new education teacher.' Coming
from ’way up north in Littleton,
N. H., to Southern Pines, where
she started and finished high
school then going to WCUNC,
Wake Forest and finally com
ing to Chapel Hill, Mrs. Smith
has already made a lasting im
pression on her students and we
are hoping she will not be in any
hurry to leave CHHS.
Being very actiye in her own
high school athletics, Mrs. Smith
played varsity basketball and ten
nis, earning letters in both sports.
Also she was tops on the boys’
golf team! In the Moore County
Tennis championship of 1941, Mrs.
Smith was defeated by her sister
for top honors in the singles
match. However, in 1942 she re
gained her glory by winning the
singles match and teaming up for
the doubles.
education. She was active in her
college sports and represented
Wake Forest at Duke in several
tennis tournaments. Mrs. Smith
received the honor of being elect
ed president of the Women’s Ath
letic association at Wake Forest.
After graduating from Wake
Forest in 1948, she and her hus
band ipoved to Chapel Hill,
where Mr. Smith is now in law
school. They are living in a trail
er court on the Raleigh road and
are very much pleased with their
final home. Both Mr. and Mrs.
Smith are , fond of dogs and have
two beautiful collies which occu
py most of their spare time.
Mrs. Smith is completely pleas
ed with her work here at CHHS.
She enjoys teaching all of her stu
dents and she says Cuach Grice is
certainly a fine man to work with.
When asked if she ever expect
ed to go north again, Mrs. Smith
replied, “No, I married a southern
er and will remain in the south;
there is not a better place to live.”
