The Henderson Institute Junior Varsity basketball team, coached by Mr. N. Avery, finished the sea son with a 15-0 unblemished record. They closed out their season with a typical win over Merrick Moore by a score of 68-35. Govan Foster was the big gun with 22 points, fol lowed by George Henderson with 15; Sheldon Richardson 10; Ronnie Gales 10; Thomas Wynn 6; James Mason 4; and Eddie Davis 3. The Junior Panthers racked up a total of 854 points in 14 games for an average of 61 per game. They held the opposition to 494 in 14 games for an average of 35 per game. One game was won by for feit over Hawkins High. The key to their success was a tenacious defence, which they were able to adjust to each offense they encountered. They played the 1-3- 1, 2-1-2 and full court press. Their biggest offensive threat was adept ball handling, re bounding, and fast breaking sim ilar to the Boston Celtics. George Henderson and Sheldon Richardson, two fine little gruards, made it practically impossible for teams to defense them. They both are very good outside shooters, so is Albert Brown, a swing g^iard Govan Foster, Ronnie Gales, Thom as Wynn and Eddie Davis are the type of boys who can play defense and they ■will control both boards in rebounding. Sheldon Richardson finished the season with an average per game of 21 points; George Henderson 15; Ronnie Gales 10; Govan Foster 10; Thomas Wynn 6 per game. Each victory was won by a team effort which is very essential in basket ball and other sports. JVs and Girls End Season With Wins The Henderson Institute Panther Girls Basketball Team rolled up their first win of the season. The Girls team had lost two previous games to Joe Toler High and Cen tral Orphanage of Oxford to the tune of 9-18 to Toler and 10-14 to Central Orphanage but the Girls got revenge over Oxford 36-18. The Girls rang up a 1-2 record for the season. The Jayvee’s kept their winning ways up by beating the Central Orph. Jayvee’s in their final game of the season. This brought the Jayvee’s overall record to 16 wins and no losses. Outstanding play ers for the Jayvee’s were Sheldon Richardson, George Henderson, Ronnie Gales and Govan Foster. Oliver Burwell Sports Editor Baseball News The Henderson Institute baseball team coached by Mr. L. G. Bullock will start practice about the 10th of March and the regular season be- gining the first week in April with about 12 games on the schedule this year. Mr. Bullock is very hopeful of having another great season as they did last year. The Panthers closed out their season last year with an imprssive 10 wins and only 2 loss record. All games played this year at home will be held before dusk. Reporter, Emanuel Williams Ask Gladys Dear Gladys; I am thirteen years old and have lots of friends of my own age who are dating already. My parents don’t approve of dating at this age and think it’s not wise for me to continue my friendship with them, because they are afraid these girls will eventually become a bad influ ence on me. I like these girls very much and I wish to have your opin ion of this problem. Should I follow my parents advice or make my own decision? L.P. J. V. Schedule and Final Scores H.

V. team will probably play in the tournament to be held either in Durham or Henderson during the first week in March. Reporter, Melvin Alston Need New Gym Henderson Institute is without a capable gymnasium for athletic competition. I think a drastic change is needed immediately. The gym we have now has been there for some twenty years. Maybe the gym was up to standard then, be cause the gym may have been built to accompany that number of stu dents. Now, if you attend one of our basketball games, you will have to fight for a seat because it is so crowded and the attendance is ex panding every year. Your chances will be very great that you will be one of those students that are un fortunately not able to have a seat. If that is not the problem you most likely want to see the scoreboard. The people left standing are pushed out on the floor when the game is in session. This is very hazardous to the players as well as the spectators. Another point I want to bring out is the low rail at the top of the gym. When a player tries to make a long pass up floor the ball has a tendency to hit this rail and the ball is ruled over to other team. This has happened a limitless num ber of times. Yes, a gym is badly needed and I hope someone reads this and does something about it. You might dis agree with what I have just said but this is just my opinion. Sports Manager: Oliver Burwell APRIL, 1969 Dear L. P. Explain to your parents that you can’t just ignore your friends. One way that you could still remain their friend, and at the same time respect your parents wishes, is by going out ■with your girlfriends alone, without boys. Let them go their o'wn way at other times. In this way you are satisfying both j'our parents and yourself. But cer tainly ask your parents first. Yours truly, Gladys Dear Gladys: I am nine years old. I like this boy, but he likes another girl. What can I do to make him like me? We are both in the same room, 3rd grade. Laura Boyle Dear Laura: Stop chasing him. Help him with his homework. Carry his books and smile. Yours truly, Gladys Dear Gladys: My boyfriend and I' are very much in love and maybe one day we will get married, but there are a lot of boys that like me. I have my heart set on one guy. What shall I do? G.L. Dear G. L. You sound like a person with a le truck inireR, So, I suggest yen' stick to this one guy that you have your heart set on. As for those other fellows forget them. Judging from your letter this won’t be hard to do. Yours truly, Gladys Dear Gladys: My boyfriend and I go out almost every night, but when we get home he says “Good Night” and leaves promptly. What shall I do. K.B. Dear K. B. Your boyfriend is evidently a bashful boy... so you start by giv ing him a good night kiss on the cheek. This can be done while he is holding the car door open for you. That should get the romance rol ling. Yours truly, Gladys Dear Gladys: There is this boy I know and I like him and he likes me, but we are scared to admit it. I know he likes me and he knows I like him. I am serious, what shall I do. Pearl L. Dear Pearl: Well if you both know it... what is there to admit? The trouble is that both of you have to admit the facts to each other. Why don’t you use some feminine tricks like hav ing a girlfriend let him know how you feel, or have your mother give a party, or go out with one of his friends. That should bring him around fast. Gladys Inslallalion Of Sludent Council The Student Council is a new organization at H. I. The purpose of the Council is to afford the stu dents opportuiiity to develop lead--, ership, school spirit, co-operation and group responsibilities. The responsibility of the Council is to solve problems that arrive among the student body. In this respect, the Student Council is faced with the responsibility 'to help solve these problems that stu dents create, without the co-opera tion and help from the faculty and student body. GRADY'S Varsity Men Shop Henderson, N. C. Varsity Basketball Mr. L. G. Bullock, varsity basket ball coach of Henderson Institute Panthers said his team could have done much better than their 10-9 regular season mark. Every mem ber gave all he had to give and more in the seasons efforts. Dar nell Brandom was the MVP this year. Every time the Panthers hit the hardwood, Darnell was there with everything he had and some more. Merrick Moore was the hard est team the Panthers played this year. This proved, by two losses to them this year, there and at home. me varsity Is looking for a much better team next year, but they will have to find someone to re place the outstanding seniors that will be leaving this year. They are captains, Darnell Bran dom, Bill Holden, Chester Cheek, and Calvin Thompson. Mr. Bullock is very hopeful of getting some top help next from the undefeated Jun ior Varsity team. Sports Editor: Oliver Burwell Track Team Mr. N. Avery the coach of the Henderson Institute Track team is looking forward to a great season this year. The Panther thin elads have not lost a meet on their field in the last two seasons since we started track again here. They have done no worse than third in their meets away. The team has represented itself well in District and State meets. Last yar speedester Samuel Cha vis won 2nd place in the 220 yard dash and placed 1st in the 100 yard dash. Gerald Alston made a brilliant showing in the 440 yard run in the District but fell near the finish line. Gerald placed third in the high jump in the District. Sylvester Owens won first place in the mile run in the District and State meet. Marvin Steed placed fourth in the 220 and 3rd in the Hurdles in the District meet. Lafayette Judkin placed 2nd in the broad jump in the District and State meet. The Panthers placed •5th in the State Finals out of a field of 20 teams. The team should be better this season with all boys returning and some new prospects such as speed ster, Wilton Wright. Richard Fleming and Robert Thompson will head the field events. James Alston George Davis Many of the students have already gathered the wrong idea about the organization. Some of the students think that the Student Cnni-gU i-r -»■ student organization against the faculty, but this is all- together wrong. The purpose of the Council is to help solve the prob lems the faculty face with students. Briefly, here are some of the prob lems the Student Council face: 1. Usage of profain lang;uage in class. 2. Cutting class. 3. Smoking in areas not desig nated. 4. Going off campus 'without per mission. 5. Damaging school property. 6. Disorderly conduct in the halls. 7. Graduates and drop-outs com ing back on campus creating disturbances among students and teachers. Our goal should be to climb the goal of success and linger there wherever we may roam. The officers of the Student Council are as follows: President, Bettye Fuller; Vice President, Mil- ton Brodie; Secretary, Georgia Allen; Assistant Secretary, Irma Hargrove; Treasurer, Lettie Wil liams. The Sponsors are: Mr. R. Ford and Mr. C. W. Creasy. Reporter: Barbara Brodie Cheerleaders Hencierson Music Co. Records — Tapes Eight Track Tapes COMPLIMENTS LEGGETT Henderson, N. C. The cheerleaders of H. I. helped our team a great deal this year and deserve much praise and apprecia tion. They were there all during the football season, maybe unnot iced but they were there, and they were also there during the basket ball season helping our team march on to victory. Without our cheer leaders our team might not have done as much as they did do. The major goal of all cheerleaders is the development of school spirit. The cheerleaders of H. I. should be tru ly appreciated for all of their un tiring efforts of supporting their team. Brenda Glover, a member of the squad, will be leaving as gradua tion date approches. But the squad will always keep the spirit that rep resents them. Sports Editor: Oliver Burwell
