TEACHERS CONSIDER JOB
AS RIDERS IN CIRCUS RING
Miss Young Most Experienced Rider;
Teachers Have Favorite Horses at
Sedgefield Riding Course
The fact that G. H. S. teachers have
other ways of amusing themselves be
sides teaching school and correcting
papers is plainly shown by a fad a
number of them have taken to recently.
This new amusement is in the form of
horseback riding.
Three members of the faculty have
taken a special interest in following
the bridal path and every spare after
noon and Saturday is spent at Sedge-
field riding the bluebloods of the
iSedgefield riding academy.
Miss Margaret Young seems to be
the most experienced rider of the facul
ty, having had experience in the blue-
grass region of Kentucky. Ller favorite
horse’s name is Elmer. Miss Lucille
Mercer and Miss Lula East also have
their favorites, Bobtail and Nancy.
So far no casualties have happened
from these rides except that one mem
ber was forced to call for a form of
transportation that traveled on wheels
instead of hoofs after riding a mile on
the back of an ungentle beast.

BROWN’S TEAM WINS
STADIUM TRACK MEET
An inter-sqnad track meet was held
at the stadium on Thursday, Alarch 6,
between three teams captained by
Theron Brown, Clarence Phoenix, and
“Red” Goodwin. Brown’s team won
with a total of 37 points, and Phoenix’s
and Goodwin’s teams followed with 36
and 35 points, respectively.
“The meet,” stated Coach Lambert,
“was to help pick a team for the
Davidson meet which was held on
Saturday, March 24.”
The Girls’ Alonogram Club at Greens
boro High School is still in its infancy,
but this has not hindered its growth.
It was organized in 1927 with Evelyn
Rives as its first president and Alarion
Curtis as its secretary.
The first aim of this club was to get
a constitution. Evelyn Rives and Carl
Lane Browne wrote one which was
readily accepted.
Those who belonged to the club when
it was first organized were: A^irginia
Douglas, Rachel Lipscomb, Jane Harris,
Alarion Curtis, Rose Goodwin, Carl
Lane Brown, Evelyn Rives, Alinnie Her
man, and Alarion Geoghegan.
Since its organization the club has
risen from 10 to 22 members and from
only one state monogram to five.
Those wearing state monograms are
Rose Goodwin, Carl Lane Browne,
Duella AAMlker, Leila George Cram, and
Alafgaret Bowles. Duella AA^alker has
the highest number of points of any
girl in the school. She is wearing two
stars with her state monogram.
Greensboro High’s track team seems
to believe that a postponed track meet
is a sign to break training.
BASKETBALL TEAM
SELECTS CAPTAIN
Boyd Morris Will Succeed
Wyatt Taylor as Leader of
G. H. S. Quintet
PARKS GIVES RECEPTION
AA"e believe the track team could
accomplish more on a dirt track than
on a ballroom floor.
Good baseball weather h,^s been
lacking so far this year and the Pur
ple and Gold nine has been handi
capped as a result.
The tennis team shows fine form and
should be able to put up a good fight
for the state championship.
The girls seem to be going out
stronger for athletics than the boys.
They are represented on more teams
for spring and summer sports.
A’ick Jones is captain of two base
ball teams—the Y. AI. C. A. team and
the G. H. S. nine.
Although the average height of the
boys’ baseball team is about five feet,
five inches, they are expected to live
up to the maxim: “Little but loud.”
Anyway the girls’ track team has a
real track to practice on—a railroad
track.
The Purple and Gold basketball
squad was lauded for its work during
the past season by a reception given
for them by Coach Parks on Friday
night, Alarch 23, at his home. At the
reception, refreshments were served
and music was furnished by radio. As
most of the members of the party were
not in training, they were allowed to
dance and enjoy themselves to the
utmost.
Boyd Alorris, star guard on this year's
team, was elected captain of next year’s
team to succeed AA’yatt Taylor. Boyd,
who has been on the basketball squad
for two years, is very capable of the
position. He also has been on the base
ball squad for two years and is first
string catcher on the baseball team
this season.
Seven members of the squad, includ
ing the manager, were presented with
monograms at chapel. Those receiving
monograms were: Charles Shoffner,
AA'yatt Taylor, Romeo Leforte. John
Sockwell, Bob Ballard, Frank Nichol
son, Boyd Alorris, and Gordon Alatlock.
TENNIS TEAMS AT G. H. S.
SHOW GREAT PROGRESS
Both Boys’ and Girls’ Squads Have
Been Practicing Daily Since Begin
ning of Spring for Positions
Alore interest has been shown in ten
nis this year at G. H. S. than ever be
fore. Both girls and boys have been
practicing daily since the first sign of
spring for positions on the teams.
A. P. Routh is in charge of the boys.
He has a squad of about 12 boys out.
Three of these, Sockwell, Andrews and
Hendrix are letter men. They showed
up very well in last year's team, and
ran up in the semi-finals in the state
championship series. AATiittington,
AYatson, Crews, Aloney and Holmes, At
lantic City event men, also show fine
form. These men are now going
through an elimination series, and six
of them will be picked for the team.
The girls under Aliss Nellie K. Dry
have a larger squad out than the boys
and are going good. They also will
go through an elimination series be
fore their team is picked.

series, and Aliss Ida Belle Aloore, the
girls’ coach, thinks they have a good
chance of winning again. About 35
girls are hard at work practicing every
afternoon.
A tennis schedule was planned. AATn
ston won this meet last year.
A track and field day program was
arranged. This was held in Greensboro
last year, and G. H. S. lost to AATnston-
Salem by one-eighth of a point. For
three years previous G. H. S. had won
these events. High Point will conduct
the meet this year at their new high

the 75-yard dash. She ran it in nine
