triumphing over them by a score of
7 to 4. Blackwood and Curtis shared
mound duty. Weaver and West, of

—Exchange.
Boys of track, soccer, baseball, and
boxing met at Caldwell School Wednes
day, March 20, at 7 :30, to be initiated.
They were first blindfolded and led to
various places. All of the boys were
commanded to get on their knees and
sing many songs. There was an occa
sional lick with a paddle to let them
know if they were doing just right.
The boys were marched to the Caro
lina Theatre, and some of them had
to make love, another broadcasted a
basketball game between Greensboro
and High Point. The rest had to
“Praise Allah.” There were many
spectators who watched the curious
actions of the boys.
They were then led back to Caldwell
School and welcomed into the Mono
gram Club.
Great interest has been shown by
both the coaches and players of the
boys’ baseb:tll team as to its develop
ment during the season. The new re
cruits have shown up exceptionally
well at practice, and seem to have the
experience and training necessary for
champions. Coaches Coletrane and
Johnson have expressed the hope of
putting out the best team that the
lugh school has produced in some time.
Many of last year’s players are back
again for this season. However, a call
has been issued for some good, first-
class pitchers, and all boys interested
are urged to come out for practice. The
schedule has already been announced,
and plans are under way for the first
ame.
Two weeks ago 50 men were out for
practice. A definite team has not been
announced yet, and therefore no uni
forms have been issued. The squad has
been divided into two groups and the
coaches want all boys to stay far the
whole season.
The officers of the team are: Captain,
Lee Wliiteheart; student business man
ager, Carl Jones; assistant stiKlent
business manager, Ralph Faison.
I’robably the best pitchers are Curtis
and Blackwood. 1'he general outlook
is very promising.

Ribbon, One Stocking and a

EIGHT NEW MEMBERS WELCOMED
MITT AND MAT MEN END
SUCCESSFUL SEASON
xVlthongh no meets were won accord
ing to the scoring table, pur wrestling
and boxing teams were victorious in
view of sportsmanship, and with that
as an incentive the squads will be able
to put out an all-star representation
next season.
The best meets of the program were
with Durham and Winston, with close
scores. A good showing was made
against Lowe’s Grove and Leaksville.
The school is greatly indebted to
Captain Pope for his fine work and un
limited energy in putting the squad on
a good footing. The team will miss
nine members next year, yet it will
have one man well able to assume the
role of pilot, Hiram Bell, next year’s
captain.
Tuesday, March 19, the new members
of the Senior Hi-Y were initiated.
Their costumes for the day at school
were a dress, hair ribbon, a stocking
on one foot and a man’s sock on the
other foot.
When the new members had gathered
ill front of the main building, Mr.
Frank Warner, boys’ worker, had them
sing “How Dry I Am,” after which he
took their pictures.
Some of the remarks of the d^y
were: “I think that is the best initia
tion that the Senior Hi-Y has ever
had”: “Wouldn’t that boy make a
pretty girl.”
The new members who had to stand
the initiation of the day were: Edward
Michaels, Jack Wiinbish, Bernard Gil
mer, William Spradlin, Guy Hope, Ed
ward Chalmers, Wallace Joues, and
Lynn Davis.
