XHE PLACE OF THE SCHOOL IN
THE DEVELOPMENT OF
CITIZENSHIP
Mary Marg^aret Bates
ie school is a means of preserving
iliAdeals and teachings of society for
the I coming generations. These are
also taught at home, in the church, in
theljjbusiness world, and in the govern-
mept; but the school was created for
chat special purpose. The normal child
be^s school at the age of six and
ccAinues in that institution for
el^en years or until ho is sixteen or
seWnteen. Therefore, during those
years the school plays an important
part in developing citizenship by teach-
S ;he principles of social living.
aining in the “three R’s" is es-
.al, for they unlock the doors to
i^culture and learning, but they can
also unlock the doors to vice and
cij||ne. Therefore, the supreme pur
pose of the school is to train the pu-
for Industrious, co-operative, and
iAlligerit citizenship.
Muring the first years in school the
chjld is taught to read and write, to
i correctly, and to work a little
figures, combined with elementary
ng and singing. All this time
hejis learning, also, how to live with
oiMers, to obey rules, and to acquire
J Der health attitudes. The lessons,
course, become harder and more
plicated as time goes on. The his
tory and development of man and the
Ms p^es and conditions in which the va-
people of the world live are
•t later. During this time the
lool must instill within the child
of civic righteousness and cul-
habits of social service, for
these alone insure the continuance and
.^^^ress of our democracy.
In grammar school the child realizes,
to a certain extent, that there are oth
ers in the world beside himself, but
when he reaches high school, he is
' a^denly thrust into such a throng
and variety of students that there he
drovers that unless he studies and
shows himself capable, he will accom-
p3sh nothing. Then he realizes a lit-
“ tie what the outside world will be like.
^ He discovers the characteristics that
make a successfu man. He sees in the
stidents the qualities which make
lio Jfifcool-citizenship-dependability, perse-
w vwance, service, leadership, and char-
a4;er. The clubs

Reidsville Five Ties
Whirlwind Cagers
One of the toughest battles Belding’s
cagers have fought this season was the
one with Reidsville, Tuesday night,
January 10, which ended in a 27 to
27 tie.
Throughout the game both teams
battled with everything they had. At
the end of the half, the score was 15
to 10 in favor of the Lucky Strike
boys, but at the end' of the third
quarter, Greensboro led 20 to 19.
When the game ended the score was
25 to 25. Two extra quarters were
added, in which Wrenn scored for the
locals and Sharp for the opponents.

S mos Shelton, forward on the local

letter last year, has been playing some

made a number of good shots.
I
One of the purposes of the new rules
for basketball, which have been put
into play only this season, is to speed
up offensive play and reduce stalling.
Since these rules have obtained there
has been distinctly more offensive
play than heretofore in games
throughout the country. This, of
course, causes a marked tendency to
wards higher scores.
Because of this, it was feared that
the whistle blowing would increase,
but, on the contrary, there has been
less interference on the part of offi
cials.
As a result of the new rules and of
the fact that basketball games are not
being broadcast as they were in 1932,
nearly twice as much interest is being
shown this season. As another result,
this sport has developed into a paying
game. In colleges it is the only sport
besides football that pays its own way.
Keep an eye oul ou mo-- »v,..omores. They may prove to be a winning
team, but, even if they don’t this year, this is a good way of training them
for our future varsity quinteet.
Famous Humorist Sports Writer
Did you know that Ring Lardner, one of the best known of contemporary
American humorists, was for a long time editor of the Chicago "Sporting
News?” He also wrote a sports column for a well known New York paper,
and through this started the use of slang phrases among sports writers, which
has stuck since then and is still going strong. Lardner has since given up
his sports writing but scattered through his books are evidence of his past
profession.
Quint Games Being Played at “Y”
Because of the great disadvantage in going all the way across town to
the Caldwell gymnasium to attend basketball games, the court has been
changed to the. one at the Y. M. C. A., which is near the center of town
and is much more convenient to reach by the majority of students. The
court at the "Y” is much better than that at Caldwell, for the latter has
the baskets too near the stage. This sends the ball on to the stage if a shot
misses the basket.
This arrangement seems to have been satisfactory so far, with the one
exception that the girls have been rather hesitant about going to the Y. M.
C. A. This, however, should soon be overcome.
Good Baseball Season Prophesied
Coach Stanley Johnson should have a prize winning baseball team this
spring with seven of last season’s letter men back. The nine will suffer, of
course, from the loss of Red Whitt, Bill Wharton, and Red Riley; but this
depletion is well made up with the return of Buck Peak, first string pitcher;
Lee Wall, catcher, and Amos Shelton, Charlie Carroll, Ed Clements, Hughes
Clements, and Ernest Remmy.
If this doesn’t turn out a record-breaking team, we’d like to know why!
Our tennis team has suffered greater losses from last year than any of the
other spring sports. Only one letter man, Jack Staples, is back. Waldo
Porter and Speight Bird are lost by graduation and Carl Carlson, the other
letter man, has left the state to attend school.
Only One Veteran Back for Tennis
This looks like a very skeptical season for tennis, but perhaps with
Mr. Cobb and Jack back on the job, a pretty good team can be assembled.
Hats off to G. H. S.’s boxers and wrestlers! They won a more spec
tacular victory over Leaksville last Saturday night than any of the other
high school athletic teams have been able to do this year.
Drop First Game to Meyer’s
Greensboro met the strong Meyer's
department store quint December 28
on the Y. M. C. A. floor and dropped
their first game by the score of 28-12.
McCabe, Meyer’s forward, led the
scoring in this game with 9 points,
with Fesmire leading the highs with 7.
The locals suffered their second loss
December 31, as the Y. M. C. A. Cubs
gained an overwhelming victory of 47
to 8. Lewis, Cub center, was high
scorer with 15 points, while Norman,
Cub forward, followed him closely
with 12. Payne, with 7 points, and
Shelton, with 1, were the only high
school players to score.
Pre-Season Games Close January 2
January 2 Greensboro lost their
final pre-season game to the alumni
team by the score of 21 to 17. Jack
Burroughs, star of last year's team,
led the old grads with 6 points, while
Fesmire, Critz, and Breazeale led the
students with 4 each.
Whirlwind Quintet
Defeats Bessemer
AW, RATS!
But it was probably mice that were
found in a girl’s locker. She set a
trap on the cabinet's floor, but a mouse
made merry upon the shelf. When
the locker door was opened, he escap
ed from his prison walls.
Did the girl scream? No, these
modern women “jest ain't what they
used to be."
Boxers and Wrestlers Outstanding
The five knockouts hantjed to-Leaksville by Whirlwind boxers in this
meet was unusual in the boxing history of Greensboro high. Our matmen
won equal laurels by taking five out of seven of their matches. Coach
Jenrette, the wrestling mentor, is new to this school, but he has certainly
won the approval and following of all the students interested in sports, and
we knew Hamilton could bring the best stuff out of the boxers. You have
the support of the whole school, boxers and wrestlers!
Opening the 1933 cage season Sat
urday night, January 7 at the Y. M.
C. A., the Whirlwind quintet won a
22 to 12 victory over the Bessemer
boys.
George Critz, of the locals, led both
teams in scoring with a total of eight
points. Following closely behind Critz
with a score of six points was Amos
Shelton, Greensboro forward. Pete
Boone, pivot man of the Bessemer
quint, led his team in scoring with a
total of six points. Collins and Price
also played a good game for the op
posing unit.
A heavy loss to the local bc^s was
that of the services of Ike Fesmire.
His position at center was held down
by a promising pivot man, Payne.

CL.4SS HISTORY
The word "history" calls to mind a
narrative form of events of a partic
ular people or thing, Thus, in strict
accordance with the word, a history of
our class should contain an account of
the outstanding events and happenings
that have befallen us since we entered
high school. So, let us look back over
these last few years and reflect how
various things have affected us.
Way, way back in the days when the
girls wore stiff, starched dresses, and
the boys, instead of the girls, wore
stockings—way back when a group of
bashful half-grown kids sank self-con
sciously into those creaking • seats at
the old high school—way back when
that same old Central high swung open
its doors for the last time to a class
cf mid-term freshmen—way, way back
when, with tottering knees and thump-
Five Track Lettermen Back
Five of the nine men awarded letters for track last year will be back
this time. This is not a promising number of veterans, but there will
probably be a large group of candidates out, for this sport seems to be the
second most popular of spring sports. Bill Elias, Powell Banner, Jack Nowlii
and Jack Burroughs are the lettermen not returning.
Coach Routh may have a tough- job developing the material into a win
ning track team, but it might be a goo(3 one.
The Winston-Salem high School re
serves swamped Coach Lester Belding's
Purple Whirlwind reserves 22 to 16 on
the Winston court last Tuesday night
in a preliminary to the regular varsity
game. —
The game was featured by the play
ing of Reeding, Twin City forward,
who led both teams In scoring with
five field goals and two free shots to
his credit for a total of 12 points.
Rankin, Greensboro center, played a
good game for the locals and led the
Whirlwinds in scoring with a field
goal and a free throw for three mark
ers. Neal, another Camel City for
ward, also played a nice game and
shot three field goals to count six
points. Floyd Rees and Ed Cockman
played well for Greensboro and scored
four points each.
The Winston victory was the first
defeat of the local reserves, the Whirl
wind seconds having defeated the
Belk's department store five of this
city in a well played game on the
Caldwell gymnasium fl(X)r during the
Christmas holidays.

ing hearts, we ventured from the room
under the guidance of some kind and
pitying upper-classman—then, began
the nucleus of the mid-term class of
'33. For that first year we were prac
tically obscured.
It was with no great sorrow that we
gave up the title "foolish freshmen "
for that of “silly sophomores." In
deed, no. In fact, we rather welcomed
new position. We were one step
nearer the upper-classmen and ready
to bestow upon our successors those
same paddlings and hair pullings that
had been so generously given us by
our predecessors. We came out of that
year none the worse. We considered
it a veritable success.
Our junior year seems to have been
a nightmare. First, came the day to
measure for our rings, and then all
else seems to have been forgotten in
planning the junior-senior party. Our
thoughts were of nothing else for a
few moni^hs. Our plans were of the
most elaoorate, and we were to be the
most successful hosts and hostesses.
But during all those anxious moments
of planning we did not forget that ours
was the next turn—ours the next to be
guests—curs the next triumph. And.
then came that day of long waiting

Girls Lose Initial Games
Miss Kate Robinson’s baskeceer girls lost their first two scheduled games
of the season. In the first game they were defeated by 'Winston-Salem s
Black Bison girls by the narrow margin of 36 to 33, but they were com
pletely outclassed by the Walnut Cove aggregation, the final score being
30 to 15.
This season, there are only two of last year’s regulars back, Katherine
Ellison, and Eugenia Hay. In the Winston game Ellison was the only
regular, since Hay was unable to play.
Two Golf Lettermen Back
The ’32 golf team, coached by Lester C. fielding, has only two of its
lettermen returning, Carl Jeifress and Ernest Remmy. The ones not re
turning are Bill 'Venning, Bill Bonkemeyer, and Frank Causey. This makes
the coming season look pretty cloudy, doesn’t it?
