ALUMNI NEWS
Hal Candle, a former student of G.
II. S., is in active service on a Florida
coast guard rum runner. During liis
service of one year in the coast guards
he has received two promotions. Cau
dle is now third officer on a govern
ment boat. He is planning to enter
Annapolis eventually.
' Hal is the brother of Jimmie Caudle,
who was graduated from G. IT. S. in
1025 and is nov/ studying medicine at
Duke University.
Among the sea experiences that Cau
dle has figured in are three battles with
riTin runners. “The redest battle of
all,” according to the Gretdshoro Daily
Record, “was staged off the Florida
voast on Monday, September 12.” Tom
my Alderman, rum runner, terrorized
a coast guard patrol boat when he held
the whole crew at the point of his
gun. After killing two of the crew and
knocking several unconscious, with his
engineer and assistant master, Robert
Weech, he attempted to fire the the pa
trol boat.
Mdien Alderman had been downed
by the five men left alive, Caudle
tackled Weech and with the help of
Robinson knocked him in the head and
rolled him overboard. Then Weech
was pulled on deck and with Aider-
man was ptit in irons, Hollingsworth
was fished out of the water and Lamby
was pulled from the engine room. Help
was called in by radio and the CG-224G
was on the scene in 50 minutes. Lamby
died three' days later. Alderman and
Weech now face federal court trials
for murder.
Paul Skurlock could not go back to
Carolina without checking G. H. S. once
more.
Sarah Mendenhall and Evelyn Rives
checked 'Ground to see us the other
■day.
Hoyt Pritchett, our Carolina track
hero, honored us with a visit last week.
Zeke 'Wilson, one of our graduates
who attended V. P. I., was seen in
the halls around here.
It is said by those who saw him that
Jimmie Watson’s hair is as blond as
ever.
Guy Hill could not resist visiting us
once or twice.
Ed Mendenhall and Mac Moore have
been found on the campiTs two or
three times.
Guess who was rambling around the
lialls the other afternoon? P. B. Whit
tington.
Bunny Wimbish came to see Miss
Wheeler, but she was not at the ap
pointed place at the appointed time,
we hear.
Miriam Block said, “I wish that I
had stayed at home.” She has regis
tered at N. C. C. W. for this year.
Paul Wimbish said that he would
give anything he possessed to be on
the High Life staff once more for five
minutes. Paul returned this fall to

BOY SCOUTS TROOP 5
CAMP AT GRAYSTONE
Boy Scout .Troop 5, of the First Bap
tist Church, went with F. R. Cas
per, their scoutmaster, on an overnight
hike, Friday, September IG, to Camp
Graystone, the Boy Scout reservation.
Mr. Casper is well known as a leader
;unong the hoys, and his troop is con
sidered one of the best in town.
“I’m proud of my boys,” says Mr.
I'asper, “and although the work for
the year has not been announcer, I ex
pect to do great things. I love scout
ing and think there is nothing like it.
Loyalty and co-operation are large
factors in the success of a troop.”
The Boy Scouts have almost com-
]>leted a large cabin at Graystone. They
have been working on it for about three
years. The balcony is large enough for
approximately forty-eight boys, and the
large room is for games and other ac
tivities. The cabin actually cost only
about $G00, but much work. The boys
are very proud of it.
