“Shoot! Shoot!” is the cry in the high school gymasium as
time runs out in a close game. This is the thrill of basketball,
as skill and teamwork go together to make a team.
Basketball is in full swing at the old high school. Although
the Bulldogs are not doing so well in games won, they have been
playing some close and exciting .ballgames. We must take in
consideration that the Bulldogs were hit hard by graduation last
year, with five or six starting players graduating. We still have
some fine basketball players in Captain Ken Willis, Joe McAnulty,
Ted Burleson, Elbert Whitley, Leroy Swaringen, Elbert Holt, John
Harwood, Charles Whitley, John Helms, and George Lee, who make
up this year’s team.
The girls’ basketball team is having somewhat of a whale of
a basketball season. They haven’t lost a game and seem to be
a powerhouse in the South Piedmont Conference. The team is
led by all-state Perlene Hartsell, who is a candidate for the
same honor this year, Bobby Watson, Frances Hinson, Ellene Hol
brook, Sara Skidmore, Janet Deese, Sue Barringer, Martha Moore,
Connie McLain, and Betty Lou Stevens.
*****
Cecil Milton, a former athlete from this school, is making
quite a name for himself on the Carolina swimming team. He
holds the long distance swimming position on the team. As a
freshman last year he broke several freshman swimming records.
Cecil also is a mainstay on the tennis team.

Can you imagine a girl scoring 102 points in one basketball
game? Well, a girl up at Landis did it. She is Melba Overcash,
a six foot seven forward, who has scored 410 points in eight games.
*****
The tenth grade has the most points so far in intramural com
petition with 80 points. They took first place in volleyball, which
gave them 50 points, and second place in tag football, which gave
them 30 points. The twelfth grade is second and gaining fast. The
twelfth grade has 50 points, which they received from winning
first place in football. Last but not least, is the eleventh grade
with 45 points for second and third place in volleyball.

^onfused”.
Gene Laughter’s parents were
surprised and admitted that they
didn’t know where Gene was but
that he was out somewhere, prob
ably the Albemarle Drug. Dwight
Cranford was also “somewhere”.
Hmmmm.
Connie McLain was enjoying
the show at the Alameda. These
Drains! Mildred Kelly was doing
‘nothing”.
Doris Barnes had taken a stroll
over to Bobbie Watson’s house,
^hile Jane Smith was over at Lib
Elder’s. Studying, no doubt!
Miss Lentz was cooking onions
and liver. No comment.
The Bullock twins were both at
choir practice. Tommy Sibley was
studying algebra with Henry
Efird.
Ann Reader Daniels and Cath
erine Atkins were “discussing his
tory”! Ancient or modern, you
all?
So you see, these excellent
grades that were displayed after
exams were proof of the students’
“untiring” efforts.
Members of the varsity boys
basketball team went to Raleigh
to see State College versus Uni
versity of Louisville.
