Judy Cameron:
Pinehurst Star
Shot-Maker
Judy Cameron, Pinehurst High
school forward, has wound up a
four-year career in basketball
with a total score to her credit of
2,322 points.
In the 89 games Judy has play
ed in four years, she has a 26.1
per-game average.
She averaged 14.8 as a fresh
man, 25.2 as a sophomore, 31 as
a junior and 30 during this past
season. She scored 50 points in
the tournament finals against
Highfalls, the defending cham
pion.
The daughter of Mrs. Dana
Cameron of Airport Road and the
late Mr. Cameron, Judy is 5-5 and
weighs 125 pounds.
Coach Bob Gillis said “Judy’s
specialty is a long one-handed
push shot, although she is an ex
cellent driver and jump shooter.
Most coaches double-teamed Judy
her junior and senior seasons.
“The girls’ teams lost only 15
games during her four-year car
eer.
“She was chosen all-confer
ence her sophomore and junior
years and would have made it
this year, but no all-county team
was picked.
"The team was runner-up her
junior year and (regular-season)
champion this year—in an 11
team league, by the way,’’ Gillis
said.
“In my 10 years of coaching,”
Gillis added, “I have never seen
or coached any girl who could
out-shoot Judy from long range.
She hit above 50 per cent each
year.”
Judy hopes to go to college next
year. She is a member of the
school’s Beta Club.
TEEING OFF * WITH deNISSOFF
Successful Meeting
Forty-nine members of the
Carolinas Press Photographers
Association, and about an equal
number of guests, thoroughly en
joyed their luncheon meeting
Sunday at the Pinehurst Coun
try Club—enhanced, no doubt, by
the presence of 12 young beauty
contestants vieing for the title
of CPPA queen. Best meeting
since the last one held here 10
years ago, was the expressed
opinion of the press and tele
vision lensmen attending.
Life Of Their Own
Speaking of photographs, we
are convinced that the photogra
phers credit lines have a distinct
life of their own, as ‘Dr. Rhine
at Duke University and his ESP
assistants and adherents would
have us believe of inanimate ob
jects.
Either- the photographs for
which we are responsible appear
with no credit lines at all, or
credit is given tbs wrong photog
rapher for the right picture.
Last week, Pinehurst Photog
rapher John Hemmer was given
credib for a picture taken in
Belleair, Fla. A photograph taken
at the Mardi Gras Ball by Emer
son Humphrey of Southern Pines
appeared on page five of last
week’s Pilot with no credit what
soever.
To both John and Emerson, our
anologies.
Two 501h Anniversaries
Monday marked a half-century
of girl scouting in America. It
was on March 12, 1912, that Mrs.
Daisy Lawrence was "drafted” by
her aunt, Juliette “Daisy” Low.
as the first Girl Scout in the or
ganization founded by Miss Low.
Since that date, 18 million girls
and adults have followed Mrs.
Lawrence in the Girl Scout ranks.
Another “first” on March 12
fifty years ago—the first official
parachute jump from a • plane—
was made by Army Captain Al
bert Berry, who jumped from a
1,500 foot elevation in a plane go
ing a dizzying 50 miles an hour
over Jefferson Barracks.
Although the first parachute
jump was said to have been made
as early as 2200 B. C’. by a Chi
nese emperor. Captain Berry’s
feat marked a significant begin
ning in the U. S. Army’s subse
quent use of airborne troops in
warfare.
A parachute team based on
Fort Bragg has twice defeated
the Russians in international
competitions, in 1959 and 1961.
This greatly astonished the Rus
sians, who', after WWII, started
the process of boning up on par
achute tactics by translating into
their own language the book
“Airborne Warfare,” written by
Gen. James M. Gavin, wartime
commander of the 82nd Airborne
