Page Pour HIGH LIFE March 15, 1929 GIRLS’SPRING SPORTS TO BE DISCONTINUED FOR ONE SEMESTER No Time Can Be Given to Prac tice Because of Other Activities WILL FORM TENNIS TEAM Girls Must Manage the Sport Alone and and Take Responsibility for Succes of Team Every spring there are about five sports for girls, including baseball, track, swimming, horseback riding and tennis. “This year is going to be dif ferent,” announced Miss Dry, girls’ atbietie adviser, “for there will be no spring sports for girls.” She said that the reason for this was because there was so much more work going on in the semester than ever before. Plays are being staged, which takes up a great deal of time that otherwise might be given to sports. Then the junior girls are trying to make money for their junior-senior banquet, and of course a great many afternoons for the next two months will be spent in work of this kind. At present, different semesters are working on their issue of High Life. Those, too, require a great deal of time and work. With all these things in view, Miss Dry thinks that it would be almost useless to at tempt to begin practice for any of the five sports. However, there are a few girls who are anxious to have a tennis team. Miss Drj' says that if there are enough of these girls who will have time to give to tennis practice perhaps they may form a team. In this case, Miss Dry thinks that the sport will be man aged almost entirely by the girls, and they will be altogether responsible for the outcome of the games. A great many of last year’s team are willing to try this new plan. The players of last year who will go out for the sport again are Edna Sock- well, last year’s manager, Lydia Bal- lance, Leila George Cram, Margaret Bowles, Virginia Clements, and Eliza beth Sockwell. GREENSBORO GIRLS LOSE TO WINSTON-SALEM TEAM Lose One of the Most Thrilling Games of the Season by Score of 25 to 33 GREENSBORO GIRLS OUTCLASSED The Greensboro girls’ basketball team lost to the Winston girls Friday, March 8. The score at the end of the game was 25-3-3. It was one of the closest games that the home team has played in this year. During the first quarter, Winston- Salem took the lead and out-played the Purple and Gold team. The score at the end of the half was lo to 21 in favor of the Camel City girls. The comeback of the home team soon made up for the lead of.the opposing team. In the middle of the third quarter the score changed again and again from a tie to a Greensboro lead and then to a Winston lead. With two minutes to play the Greensboro girls called time out. The score was 25 to 27 in favor of Winston. This was the ruin of the Purple and Gold team, for during the next two minutes the Winston team climbed from 27 to 33, making the final score 2.5 to 33, a victory for the Winston-Salem girls. “All members of the Camel City team played well and the team showed good practice and team work. On the Greensboro team the work of the guards was outstanding. Cram and Stedman leading in the goal points,” says Coach Inabelle Moore. “Courage, brother! do not stumble, Though thy path be dark as night; There’s a star to guide the humble; Trust in God and do the right.” Baseball Schedule 1929 March 29—High Point, there.

BASEBALL PRACTICE STARTED AT PARK Many Letter Men Are Back and Also Much New Material PITCHERS ARE LACKING Coaches Coltrane and Johnson have issued a call for baseball recruits. The first practice was held Monday at the old ball park. The two coaches have only seven letter men back to build the team on. The main job will be in get ting pitchers. Morris, last year’s catcher, will be back on the roster. A new pitcher in Beany Curtis was found by the coaches. The squad is thought to have some good fielders, but poor hitters. The mentors will have to build up the fireworks or the old nine won’t be expected to go very far. Lefty Blackwood is the only southpaw that will be found on the pitching staff. The outfield has only two regulars in the fold, Smoak and Paris, neither being hitters. Paris is one of the nicest fly- chasers to be found, but he is rather weak with the stick. Smoak has seen only one year on the squad, but here’s hoping he’ll smack the apple. The in field lost Paris, Webb, and Taylor, but there will be plenty to fill their places, if they can hit. If the coaches can get the boys to hitting, they will win a championship. .Tobnson will more than likely coach the outfielders and pitchers, and Col trane will be grounding the onion to the infielders. A NEW SPORT Snow ! Snow! Come out for the new sport! But so few appear. Finally, up walked Mr. Blair. And at this, the gang leader said in a low tone: “Well, boys, here comes the first candidate; let’s give it to him.” The place of meeting was in front of the main building. About ten boys were ready to introduce the new sport called “a dump in the snow.” No sooner had Mr. Blair approached than he was taken from his feet. At first he struggled; but, when he found that there were stronger ones out for the sport, he gave up. After receiving a good dose of snow, Mr. Blair wms released, but he failed to appear again for practice. Tardy, as usual, the second candidate. Coach Block, appeared. He seemed green at the sport, so he walked along as If nothing had ever happened. The gang of boys, however, noticed the sec ond candidate, and started for him. He, like Mr. Blair, was taken from his feet without warning. Only a few moments passed before Coach Block gave way to the more experienced and was released. This release proved to be the second and the last necessary, for no one else appeared, except by accident. The gang of boys, however, is wait ing for another snow in order to con tinue their new sport. Miss Searcy: Henry, will you please correct this sentence: “The audience began hissing and to leave the theatre.” Henry: “Hiss, hiss,” said the audi ence, as they began to leave the theatre. “I’m a junior.” “That right?” “Yes, sir. Johnny Jones, Junior.” FACULTY-VARSITY GAME ON MONDAY IS EXCITING FRAY The Faculty Wins by the Close Score of 59 to the Varsity’s 41 FEW SUBSTITUTES USED Coaches Coltrane and Shepard Are He roes of Game From Begin ning to End The varsity basketball boys played the members of the faculty at Caldwell gym March 11. The game was a fast affair from start to finish. It started at 8 o’clock. The varsity started off by making the first two points, but after a few minutes of play here came a great big red-headed man down the floor. It was “Red” Routh. He tied the score with a crip shot under the basket. After the tip-off. one of the varsity boys fouled one of the faculty. He took his shot but missed. Mr. Homer Coltrane, the hero of the game, tipped the ball back into the basket and the score stood 4 to 2 in favor of the faculty. After a few minutes both sides ran up this score to 29 to 27 in favor of the varsity. The first quarter ended with both teams tied. A few substitutes were sent in for the varsity. Play was re sumed and the game got rough. Mr. Routh lying on the floor on one side and Mr. Shepard on the other side! Time out was called for the varsity because Jack Norman had put his foot where it didn’t belong. Another player was substituted for him until Ills foot got well. After play was re sumed, another red-headed man started getting wild. He made three goals before the faculty could get started. The score stood 36-30 in favor of the varsity as the half ended. A relapse of five minutes was given for rest. After this time was up they started playing again. This time Mr. Shepard, the best looking man on the team, went wdld. He made 12 points in less than ten minutes and the score stood 42-36 in favor of the faculty. Boyd Morris, captain of the varsity, was one of the highlights of the game. The faculty finally won out by the score of 59 to 41. After the game each member of the faculty and varsity had his picture taken. This game ended a merry season for the basketeers of Greensboro High School. MR. CARLYLE SHEPARD IS NEW HI-Y LEADER Ten New Members Attend Their First Meeting March 11 at Local Y. M. C. A. The weekly meeting of the Junior ITi-Y was held in their banquet room Alonday, March 13. Mr. Carlyle Shep ard, the new club leader, was present for the first time. IMaek Heath presided. The roll was called, and the formation of a Mother's Club was dis cussed. This motion was tabled until a later date, however. The speech of the evening, the first of a series, was by Mr. Byron Haworth, a teacher at G. II. S. His topic was “Citizenship,” and he made a stirring talk that wa.s enjoyed thoroughly by the members, according to the Ili-Y president. This meeting was the first for ten new members, who were initiated into the club Friday evening. The Hi-Y now has well over twenty members, its full quota, and many on the “wait ing” list. Freshmen Elect Councillor The girls of the freshman class elected a representative for the Girls’ Council February 22. Elizabeth Boyst presided over the meeting and ex plained carefully the ideals of the council and the work that they are trying to carry on. The girls voted for Barbara Witherspoon to represent them. Barbara is a former pupil of South Buffalo School. Basketball Miss Moore says that although the girls lost the game last Friday night at Winston, she is still proud of the team for its hard work. Up until the last three minutes of the game the score wms tied, but luck came to Win ston and they won. Miss Moore says she is hoping for better luck this Fri day when the girls play Leaksville here, since this is the last game of the season. Training “Training is over,” says Jliss Mar tin, head of training. That is, no one else can enter again until next semes ter, as there are not three months left. However, Miss Martin says this has been a splendid year in training, and she hopes for a still better one next time. Baseball This season G. H. S. hopes to have one of the best baseball teams she has ever had. The team, coached by ^Messrs. Stanley Johnson and Homer Coltrane, has already shown excellent results in training. There are seven letter men on the team. Lee White- heart is captain; Curtis and Blackwood will be starred as pitchers. Track Track, coached by Mr. Bob WTlkius, is another team which gives promise of great success. A large squad has turned out at the stadium every day, and Cap tain Goodwin has done splendid work. The team plans to participate in sev eral college meets, and also in dual and tri-city meets this spring. It has also been planned to combine the teams of Wilmington and Greensboro High Schools to play the Carolina freshmen. GIRLS’ MONOGRAM CLUB TO RECEIVE PINS NEXT MONTH Virginia Brown, Assisted by Leila George Cram, Plans the New Designs MOTTO, “PLAY THE GAME” Pins Are Different From Other High Schools—Girls Will Pay for Their Own Pins The prosspective topic for the next meeting of the Girls’ Monogram Club is “What My Religion Means to Me.” This topic is taken from one of Edgar A. Guest’s books, in which he discusses it and gives five questions for one to think about. The questions are as follows: (1) Why an athlete with a re ligion is a better player than one with out. (2) Does religion put an end to laughter and amusement? (3) Should we dislike people because of their reli gion? (4) Why is religion more neces sary to a young person than to an old one? (5) What I owe to my religion. (6) My creed. Several of the girls of the club will answer these questions as they think best. THE IDES OF MARCH “Beware of the Ides of March.’’ said a soothsayer to Caesar. Pleading with her lord in the middle of the night, Calpurnia, wife of Caesar, endeavored to persuade him not to go to the Senate on the morrow, the fate ful Ides of March. She told him of a frightful dream that had just awak ened her. “Fierce, fiery warriors,” she said, “fought upon the clouds, in ranks and squadrons, in right form of war, which drizzled upon the capitol.’ But Caesar disregarded her warning, also that of the soothsayer, and the next day he was assassinated. This day was not only fatal to Julius Caesar, but to Sir Thomas Mayerne and John Earl of London, Sir Thomas was a physician to James I and Charles I, and the John Earl was chan cellor of Scotland. Will March 35 be fatal to you, or will it be your lucky day? Many people always dread this day because of their superstition. Watch! You will see rabbit feet, horseshoes and good luck pennies. And everybody will need them—espe cially the juniors. Think of it! This issue of High Life is the juniors’—on March 15! Oh, woe is me! “Gimme a sentence with the word junior.” “Say, ain’t junior brother gonna get outa here so I can go to sleep?” For the last three months, the Girls’ Monogram Club members have been trying to decide on some emblem for the club besides the monogram. The basketball boys have silver basketballs, the members of the football team have footballs, and the boys on the tennis team have small tennis balls. It is almost impossible for the girls to have anything of this kind, so they have decided on pins. Although it was announced some time ago that they would have pins, it was not until last week that they were definitely decided upon. The order for these pins has been given to Schiff- man's Jewelry Company, and they are to be ready by the first of April. The pins, which were designed by Mi’ginia Brown and Leila George Cram, are to be silver with black enamel, or gold with black enamel. On the pins will be the words, “Play the Game,” the motto of the Monogram Club. The pins will differ from the em blems of other teams, inasmuch as the girls will pay for their own pin, and also guards, if they wish them. Since they are to be bought by the girls, it is imiiossible for Miss Dry to ask every member of the club to buy one. However, about eighteen of the club will have them. When other girls get their letters, they may also have a pin made. In this way, the pins may be the emblem of the club for some time. HIKING CLUB OFFICIALS PLAN DATES FOR HIKES Friday Is Day Scheduled for Jaunts Until Members Are Notified of a Change OVERNIGHT HIKE PLANNED SOON The officers of the Hiking Club have appointed Friday afternoon at 3:30 for all hikes, until further notice. Many of the members last semester hiked the required number of miles to go on an overnight hike. Miss Rachel Sibley, head of the Hiking Club, is planning an overnight hike for the first of April. She would like to have the old members, who have not hiked enough miles to go on it, and the ones who want to join the club to begin at once so that they will have the reciuired twenty-five miles to go on the over night hike. The officers appointed last semester will still hold their offices. President is I’riscilla White; leaders, Mary Hor- iiey and Columbia Gaither. Miss Sibley hopes that this semester with the freshmen and the older stu dents that they will accomplish some thing worthwhile. Miss Sibley reminds us that hiking is a part of the Athletic Association, and not just a pastime as it is so often thought to be. Twenty- five miles of hiking is the minimum rate of miles to acquire a “G.” Addi tional points add to getting the maxi mum seventy-five miles. DISTRICT FIVE HOLDS MEET HERE SATURDAY District five, which includes Winston, High Point, Reidsville, Greensboro, and other surrounding cities, will hold a meeting here Saturday morning at 10:30 o’clock. Miss Olive Smith, the chairman of this meeting, will lead a discussion concerning girls’ spring sports, baseball, track, tennis, and swimming.
