CLARENCE PHOENIX WINS
FIRST PLACE IN MEET
Quate Enters Dashes While Phoenix
Enters Mile and Half Mile Run.
Brown Takes Part in Weights
WILMINGTON SENDS CONTESTANTS
Clarence I'hoenix, David Quate and
Theron Brown represented Greensboro
High School in the annual South At
lantic High School IMeet. The meet
was staged Saturday, May 7, at the
TTiiversity of Maryland.
Quate entered the two dashes while
Phoenix entered the mile and half-mile
runs. Brook took part in the weights,
discus and javelin events. MTlmington
and Charlotte had men to represent
North Carolina.
With the elimination of Greensboro
from the state championship baseball
running finu was written to a very suc
cessful year in the field of athletics.
d'he past year, besides finding the
local high school ranking well among
the leading high schools of the state
along athletic lines, also found the de
velopment of a wealth of new material
in the phases of the different sports en
tered into by G. H. S.
Athletics got away to a flying start
when Greensboro produced one of the
finest and cleanest football teams in the
history of the institution. Playing the
kind of game that sent practically every
■opitonent that they meet down in de
feat, this bunch of husky warriors ad-
vancerl to the western finals only to
lose in a heart-breaking contest to “the
F’ighting Gentlemen” of Charlotte High.
Again in basketball the school won
further laurels when both the boys and
girls had a very successful season. The
boys won three games toward the state
championship before being eliminated.
At the meet sponsored by State College
and held at Raleigh Greensboro went
to the finals. The girls, too, consider
ing the scarcity of seasoned material
with which the coaches had to work,
did splendid work.
Under the expert coaching of Coaches
Coletrane and Johnson one of the scrap
piest gangs of horse-hide wallopers ever
seen on the local diamond was pro
duced.
Track, too, was judged the second
l)est in the state; the boys meeting de
feat only at the hands of Charlotte
and, then, by a very narrow margin.
Several state records were smashed by
members of the local team.
Tennis and swimming, also, showed a
decided advancement in their fields of
sports.
The Scotch are a friendly race: in
fact, they are the closest friends one
can have.—Fine Yarns, Gastonia, N. 0.
Left to rif/tit—Jane Harris, Virginia Douglas, Coach Nellie Dry. Fvt'lyn Rives,
Rachel Lii)Scomb, Ciarl Lane Browne. Leated—Marion Geogiiegan, Bose Good
win, Mari(.)u Curtis, Minnie Herman.

The girls’ championship series in
group five was won by the Greensboro
nine, on the Buff'alo field Thursday,
May 19, b,y a score of 11-10 in favor
of Greensboro. The Greensboro star
was IVhite.
The score was close until the last of
the fourth inning, with Winston in the
lead, but making six runs in the fourth
inning the Greensboro girls came to the
front and remained ahead throughout
the rest of the game.
This is the second year in succes
sion that the Greensboro girls have
won the championship title, losing only
one game this season.

er of the meet. She took first place in
To-yard dash, first in hurdles, and third
in standing broad jump, making a total
of IG points.
Monogram Girls
Fvel.vn Rives has the distinct lionor
of being the first president of the Girls’
Monogram Club. Evelyn has been a
splendid leader and one of our guiding
lights over rough ground. The club will
miss her leadership next year, but she
has left such splendid ideals that we
are sure to feel her influence even after
she has gone.
Marion Curtis is our other officer,
secretary—and fortunately she is only
a junior now; that means we shall have
her help again another year. Marion is
one of those fiuiet, unobtrusive workers
who accomplishes more than we realize.
Always read.y—that’s Marion.
Rachel Lipscomb comes as nearly be
ing one who goes out for all sports as
any girl in school. Her “G” represents
a great variety of sports and a great
sport wears it.
Miss Dry—“Auntie Blossom”—has
been a fine leader for the Girls’ Mono
gram club so that the girls are inspired
to do bigger and better things. She has
been a sympathizing friend in time of
need and a true sport in time of fun.
Marioji Geogregan has been a real
asset to the club this year. She comes
to us from Reidsville and has joined
our ranks in a real sportsmanlike way.
Rose Goodwin has worn her “G” for
quite a while now, but never just quite
satisfied with her accomplishments, she
is going after a “GNC” strong. Hockey
is Rose’s favorite sport, in which she
plays a hard game.
There were quite a few policemen
stuffed with pillows and draped in the
attire of a cop—Boys wearing hats
passed on their way to practice for the
operetta, “Pirates of Penzance,” which
will be given at the National tonight.

Monogram Girls
Jane Harris has \Amn more points in
athletics than any other girl in school.
AA’hen she asked Avhat could be done
about Jane, some one replied, “It can’t
be expressed.” ’Tliat’s just about true.
Jane’s pep, vivacity, leadership, basket
ball ability and all-round good sports
manship “(*an't be expressed.”
ATrginia Douglas is another one of
those quiet, unassuming girls Avho
makes life easy and pleasant for the
rest of us. AA’e don’t understand just
hoAv she accomplishes so much Avithout
any noise but she does, and a better
sport couldn’t be found.
Carl Lane BroAvn is a holder of a
junior life saving certificate and also a
hockey enthusiast. ’The only thing Ave
can say against Carl Lane is the fact
that she comes from Alabama, but if
Alabama groAvs ’em like her Ave aa’III
forget that fact.
Minnie Herman came to us from High
Point this year. She has been a great
help to our club and has been Avilling
to do all that was required of her. High
Point lost a fine girl Avhen Minnie came
to Greensboro, but she has meant a
great deal to us, so Ave are glad she
came.
