For the past three Issues, Spor-
traits has been confined to the
shining €tars of the football team,
but as football season is over.and
everyone’s attention has turned
to basketball, we are devoting this
column to some of GFIS’a most
prominent court stars.
In this capacity Charles "Tut”
Shumate certainly deserves this
honor by his remarkable accuracy
around the hoop, and his fine ball
handling.
“Tut" was born on November
28, 1929. He has been a member
of the Earthquake Varsity cagers
for throe years, and was on the
Junior cage team his freshman
year. He has also spent four years
on the football team, two on the
Varsity and two on the Junior
Varsity, In the position of quarter
back.
He is a member of the Spanish
and Varsity Clubs, along with
other activities.
On the lighter side of life, his
favorite song is Danny Boy, and
his favorite movie stars are Gary
Cooper and Esther Williams. His
favorite eats are banana pudding
and fried chicken.
"Tut" plans to go to Carolina
after graduation.
John Culloty
John Michael Culloty, better
known to you as "Skippy," was
born in New York in the year
1031.
"Skippy" was reluctant to ad
mit just what part of New York
City he was born In. ]>ut I’ll tell
you this much. It begins with a
capital "B" and ends with an
"x".
Though born a Yankee, which
we shall not hold against him,
“Skip" early became acquainted
with the customs below the Ma-
son-Dixon line. Two years after
his birth In 1931, he moved to the
nation’s Capitol. Washington. I).
‘C. Then in 1944 he moved to
Goldsboro with his family.
As a freshman, he played Jun
ior baseball. Next year, as a sopho
more, he played Junior football
and basketball and Varsity base
ball. Now, as a Junior, “Skippy"
distinguishes himself on the bas
ketball coui't and was elected this
month as a Sportrait honoree along
with “Tut" Shumate. "Skip" is
planning to play baseball again
this year.
He Is a member of the Varsity
Club. His likes run along the lines
of “Knute Rockne" {favorite mo
vie), Gene Tierney, sports, pork
tenderloins, and chocolate cake.
About the future: “Skippy"
wants to go to Carolina and study
accounting.

One Arm Men
Have Made Good
In Sports, Too
Ily l:i) STKK'KIiAND
I was running through my fa
vorite magazine the other p. em.
and I came across an article about
great men of sports. Some of you
say, “So what; there are a lot of
great sportsmen.’ ’Well, these men
were not ordinary, they were all
nien with only one arm.
I liked this article so much I’d
like to pass it on to you.
Jim Nichols lost his right arm In
an auto accident, but despite this
disability he is a golf pro who
(tan swing a club with the best.
Tom Rogers only needed one
good right army to win the 155
pound boxing championship at
Harvard.
Pete Gray made big league base
ball with only a left arm. He’d
catch the ball, toss It, shake off
the glove, catch the ball and throw
it in.
Marsh Parmer, of Texas Tech,
lost a left arm, designed a stand
to give him balance on the start-
"^ing line, and became a champion
of the hurdles.
Down Tulsa University way,
Ellis Jones was an outstanding
guard on the gridiron squad. He
had only his left arm.
Perhaps one of the greatest
wonders of the sports world, is
George Sutton. Sutton was a cham
I)Ion at billiards, and both his
arms were off just below the el
bow.
To me tliere is no man so great
as one who turns a disability into
an asset. These men are made of
iron will, intestinal fortitude, self
confidence and the desire to be
on equal terms with fellow men
despite physical handicaps.

Orchids to:
The varsity Club for a fine as
sembly program some time ago.
I think everyone thoroughly en
joyed it.
Bill Summerlin, the winner of
the 19 47 Sportsmanship Award.
Bill always played a clean, hard
game on the gridiron. I can't
think of anyone who is more de
serving of that award.
Junior McRoy and Dick Gris
wold, next year’s co-captains of
the pigskin team.
All the boys elected to the Var
sity Club. That is a signal honor.
Skippy Culloty and Tut Shu
mate, this month’s Sportrait Hon-
orees. *
The Basketball team who, In
spite of a losing streak, a cold
gym to practice In, and a few
other things, have kept at their
practice and always seem to have
a will to win that next game.
Now that I’ve finished passing
out orchids to people who I real
ly think deserve them. I’ve got a
big onion that I’d like to drop
In someone’s lap. I shouldn’t say
someone—-I should say the people
of Goldsboro.
They say they can’t get inter
ested In a team when they always
lose. I wonder if they really know
the conditions under which the
GHS basketball team practices and
plays.
Whether you believe it or not,
some of the boys will tell you that
the following things liave a lot to
do with whether they win or not.
The practice every afternoon in
a cold or semi-cold gymnasium.
Sometimes there’s hot water for
showers — sometimes, that is.
There Is a cold concrete floor to
stand on while they take show
ers. They make their out-of-town
trips in a crowded school bus.
They pay for their own meals
when they play out of town.
The gym here is not big enough
to accommodate as many people
as should turn out-for our home
games.
Those are some of the problems
the boys face. What do you think
of it? Could you work under
similar circumstances? Show this
to your parents and ask them what
they think of It. It is up to the
citizens to proviIe money so the
school officials can provide the
things needed.
Yes sir, I’d like to drop that
onion right in the lap of the citl'
zens of Goldsboro.

pleted their .schedule for the year.
The season’s record of four

the games were dropped by under
seven points doesn’t show up too
badly for the team.
In an off-schedule game with
Fremont in a tournament, the
teams cop])ed a trophy by win
ning the game, 41-30.
The Junior Quakes have w'on
live games and dropped six thus
far In the season.
The lineups of the teams have
been: Varsity: J. D. Sasser, Troy
Pate, Fred Tyndall, Gerald Mas-
sengill, '“Cotton” Khittz, Hugh
