June 8, 1945 GOLDSBORO HI NEWS Page Three Varsiiy Club Gives Second Annual Dance -SIDELINES- By Jean Pyatt The Varsity Club Dance given on May 18 at the William Street school gym was attended by approximately 200 people. The dance, which was formal, was climaxed by the execution of a fig ure by the Varsity Club members and their dates, and the official crowning of the Varsity Club Sweet heart, Marnie Cheever. Music was by Hal Thurston and his orchestra. The Frederick’s trio was also part of the program. .The gym was decorated in red, white, and blue and gold. Palm trees of red, white and blue gave a night club effect, and a huge golden chandelier suspended from the cen ter of the gyrn was complimented by four smaller white ones hung at each corner. Goal posts decorated inblue and white and holding the Varsity Club emblem were situated at the west end of the gym and served as a frame for the announc ing of the Varsity Club members and their dates, and were used in the figure. The orchestra, at the east end of the gym, was backed by a translucent curtain decorated with red and silver design, and flanked by live pine trees. Refreshments of punch, Pepsi Cola, and cookies were served. Coach Jeffrey Is Head Of Summer Athletics Goldsboro’s summer athletic pro gram, under the direction of Norris Jeffrey, is now in progress.

Varsity Congratulations to the three new members of the Varsity Club: “Red” Collins, Gordon Davis, and F. W. Stanley. “Red” was a member of the Varsity baseball squad, and Gordon and F. W. served as co-managers. Incidentally, those Varsity em blems the boys and girls are sport ing surely are pretty. The yellow background with the blue wing makes a very attractive design. You Varsity boys certainly did yourselves proud on May 18. Yes, I mean the Varsity Dance. You real ly made it a big success, and the highlight of the social activities of the school year. The gold and white chandeliers were gorgeous and the goal posts, supporting the club em blem, made an effective display. The music, furnished by Hal Thurston, was swell. You are all to be congrat ulated on its success, a large part of which is due to your able orig inators and co-advisers, Mr. Britton and Coach. Our Varsity teams this year have had one setback after another, but they have been swell sports. GHS is proud of you, boys. Pictured above are some of the members of the Girls’ Sports Club.

Tid-Bits Sportsmanship Goldsboro High School teams have always been noted for their good sportsmanship and clean play ing. Keep it up, boys and girls, throughout your lives. You will al ways be respected and trusted. No matter what field you go into honesty with yourself and others always pays. A dishonest person hurts himself more than anyone else. When you get out in life you will be on your own—an independ ent active body. Many temptations will come your way. An intelligent boy or girl will take advantage of his valuable training in GHS and put it to good use. Good sportsmanship is a mark of virtue and good breeding. Remem ber that always, Goldsboro High School students. Congratulafions fo the Graduates! LANGSTON TIRE (0. EVERYTHING IN DRUGS at Goldsboro Drug Co.

Boys Voice Opinions On Sports Next Year The other day I was wondering just what the outlook was for GHS in sports next year. I decided the best source would be from the boys themselves. Most of them answered quickly, and optimistically, but you can draw your opinion from their statements. Dave Stafford thinks that next year will be a stepping stone to a bigger and better ’46-’47 season. Bill Weathers was enthusiastic about next year’s baseball team and thought that the grid squad would be “pretty good.” “Erk” Pope says that under Coach Jeffrey it can’t be anything but good. “Jello” Hallow thinks that we will stand up well under competi tion. “Mutt” Rose pessimistically thinks it will be a good three years before we will have a really good team. Leon Harris Perry, when ap proached as to his opinion, said that there wouldn’t be any trouble if the boys would turn out to prac tise. Harry Lane heartily agreed with Mr. Perry in the above statement. Donald Malpass believes the team will be “fair.” “Eduardo” Best believes the out look is very good and is joined in his opinion by “Podds” Lee. “Pete” McDowell believes that the fans will back a fair team, but be lieves that the outlook is very good year after next. George Wilson says that from all appearances the teams should be good. Tommy Davis adds a condition to his statement that the teams will be fair. The condition is work Wendell Edgerton offers anothe orchid to Coach Jeffrey in sayinj that the team will be very good i he can do anything with them. There you have it, folks. No mat ter what your opinion may be you’r in for some exciting seasons o. sports next year. The Seniors will be following you in the headlines, boys! Sports Shorts The Earthquakes won one and lost eight conference football games during the season. In basketball they won one and lost nine games in the conference.
