Beauty, Brains Combine To Ma\e
Typical High School Glamour Girl
The recent election of candidates
for Miss O. H. S. shows that Senior
High’s most iKipular giris have not
only beauty and personality plus,
but brains, as well. From clubs con
sisting of Senior High students and
distinctive classes of the school
come these representatives.
The Girls’ Athletic Council pre
sents Naida Lyon as their ideal of
what Miss G. H. S. should be.
Naida is a vivacious sports enthu
siast who demonstrates this in her
zeal for going out for after school
sports. Boasting 13, hours in the
air, she someday hopes to get her
pilot’s license.
Musically inclined Martha Graves
has the orchestra backing her.
“Chic” is the word for this talented
lass, whom everyone identifies by
the inevitable flower in her hair.
To get a driver’s license is Martha’s
most serious ambition at the
present.
Doris Cooper can well be called
the “chief morale builder” for the
football team, for she holds the
position of head cheerleader. Next
to cheering for the team, Doris
likes to play basketball and does
very well at that, as last year’s
record shows. She is the candidate
for the recreation committee.
The literary society of G.H.S.,
Quill and Scroll, selects Mary Rey
nolds as “the” girl. You’ll find her
as charming as she is brilliant when
you talk with her on her favorite
subject—New York and Physical
Education.
Blond Delores Hadaway can be
recognized by her large and beauti
ful blue eyes. She is supported by
the Junior Class Y-Teen, of which
she is a faithful member. Delores
spends hours listening to her
favorite records and dreaming of
the days when her experience with
the Dramatics Club will come in
handy.
Membership Drive
For J.G.P.A. Started
Season memberships are now
available for a series of programs
which will be presented throughout
the winter and spring by the Junior
Civic Program Association. For the
first time there will be two groups
of programs—one for children in the
elementary grades and one for high
school pupils. This will enable the
members to see programs which fit
their age groups and will also give
twice as much seating space. All
programs will be presented at 3 p.m.
in Aycock auditorium.
Versatile Edna Warden displays
her sparkling personality on Friday
nights when she yells for the
Whirlies until her voice is hoarse.
Contrasted with the loud and lusty
singing of a cheerleader is the way
she sings “soft and sweet” for the
choir, her sponsor.
Candidate for the Sophomore
Y-Teen is Emily Ann Dees, a be
witching green-eyed blonde. She
loves to play the piano, which is
shown by her interest in the Junior
Euterpe Club.
From the D. O. Club comes lovely
Raynell Campbell, who is poten
tially a career woman. Raynell’s
dearest ambition is to be an air
line hostess, for it would give her
a chance to do what she likes best
—^to fly.
The D. E. Club chose their secre
tary, Betty Mooneyham, to be their
candidate for Miss G.H.S. As a
memlicr of a local bowling league,
Betty thinks there’s nothing like
ten ten pins to give you vim and
vigor.
Selected by the cheerleaders is
lovable Muriel Register, a sopho
more. With laughing eyes and a
ready smile, she makes a hit wher
ever she goes.
Pat Anderson, another of G.H.S.’s
pulchratudious cheerleaders, repre
sents the Junior Class Hi-Y. She is
usually decked out in pink, her
favorite color.
One of the most outstanding
scholars and musicians in school
has been nominated by Torchlight
for Mi.ss G.H.S. Helen Mae Sarles,
when not accompanying someone for
an assembly program, can be seen
—baud uniform and all—playing
the bells at football games and all
notable occasions.
From the band comes petite Car
rie Chamberlain to enter the race
for Miss G.H.S. A member of the
May Court last year and present
secretary of the student body, her
Ijopularity among students has been
proven many times. Talented Car
rie is widely known for her distinc
tive and original art work.
Newly elected D.A.R. Pilgi-image
representative, blond Betty Lou
Moore is the student Council’s
choice. She excels in her leader
ship ability and is one of the few
gold star wearers.
Vivacious Alice McGee is an ac
tive member of the band. The High
Life staff—^her sponsor—deems her
one of its most valuable members,
for her red glasses, good looks, and
keen sense of humor boost its
morale.
Brunette Lucile Driver, proudly
wearing her gold star, is the repre
sentative from the Dramatics Club.
Remembered for her participation
in all of Senior’s beauty contests,
Lois Bowman now takes her place
as a candidate for Miss G.H.S. Horn
the Senior Class Y-Teen Club.
A newcomer to the cheering squad
this year, Fran Pearman from the
three combined Glee Clubs, is al
ready recognized for her vibrant
personality.
Scoreless Tie Is Result
Of Whirlie-Bison Game
By CHARLIE MELVIN
In a Notre Dame-Army •classic of
Guilford County, Greensboro High’s
Purple Whirlwinds fought a stub
born High Point eleven to a 0-0
deadlock last Friday night, to retain
their position of loop leaders of the
Western Conference, before an all-
time record crowd of 11,000 fans in
the “Furniture City’s” Albion Mills
Staldium.
Despite its scoreless nature, the
game was thrill-packed from the
opening kick-off to the closing
whistle, with a win in anybody’s
reach. Actual statistics show that
Greensboro outdid the Bison in
everything but punting, and this
one factor may have been the divid
ing point between victory and a
scoreless tie for the AVhiriles.
Although Greensboro’s net yards
rushing records and first downs
gained completely overshadow High
Point’s figures in these departments,
the booming boots of Frank Von
Drehle took the Bison out of hot
water more than once. Though tlie
Whirlies marched within the shadow
of the Bison’s goal posts on three
separate occasions, the High Point
ers threw up such an air-tight de
fense that all three bogged down
before a bailey could be pushed over.
The whole Whirlwind team play
ed a bang-up game with Breedon
and Clemons sparking the running
attack, while Staton and Robinson
led the line play.

Movie Tickel Sale
Will Finance Hul
“If I’m Lucky,” the movie shown
at the Carolina Theatre the begin
ning of this week, is one of a series
of movies which the Student Coun
cil and Recreation Council are spon
soring jointly in order that the
school may purchase a recreation
hut.
In cooperation with Norris Hada
way, manager of the Carolina
Theatre and finance chairman of
the Parent-Teacher Association,
once a month Senior High students
will sell tickets for a movie with a
part of the proceeds going to the
“recreation hut” fund. These movies
will be the best that the theatre has
to offer.
According to Jim Finch, president
of the Student Council, the reason
for selling tickets is that the coun
cil wants to give each student a part
in raising funds for the hut, which
will be used by other classes in the
future.
The hut will be put up as soon as
conditions permit, and the support
of each student is asked because
the more support, the sooner G.H.S.
will have a recreation hut.
Temporary plans for the hut in
cluded a building, approximately
24X60, which will be purchased
from ORD. Outstanding features of
the building where the future school
.social life will be centered are a big,
open fireplace at one end, ping pong
and pool tables, and a juke box.
yets' Recognition Day
Observed At Senior High
Veteran’s Recognition Day was
observed at Senior High School,
AVednesday, November 6, as it was
throughout Greensboro.
Seated on the stage during the
program were all the students en
rolled in the veteran’s school as
well as the veteran’s enrolled in
the regular high school.
The program was opened by a
group of selections by the orchestra,
under the direction of Mr. Harri-
man, and a solo “The Lord’s Pray
er” sung by Lyndon Sikes, who
was accompanied by Delores Dun-
stan. Dr. E. H. Meese, president of-
the Green.sboro Ministerial Associa
tion, offered the opening prayer and
was followed by Jim Ehnch, presi
dent of the student body, who read
the names of all former alumni of
Senior High School who made the
supreme sacrifice during the past
international conflict. Two veterans,
now enrolled in the veteran’s school,
then removed the service flag from
the front of the auditorium.
The main speaker for the pro
gram was Mr. Norman Block, a
local attorney, who is a former stu
dent pre.sident of G.H.S. and who
.served with the Navy during World
War II in the Pacific Theater. He
emphasized in his speech not the
terrible aspect of the war, but some
of the humorous things which oc
curred to him while in the service.
Following the dismissal from
school, the band led the Veteran’s
Day parade through the heart of
Greensboro to Meorial Stadium,
where it—^along with all returned
Greensboro veterans—it was a guest
of the city at a barbecue dinner.

Famous Cymbalist

dent at Senior High School and now
one of the foremost musicians in
the world, will return to his alma
mater to present the first of his fall
concerts on the east coast in a spe

Mr. Cymbalo, a recognized author
ity on the origin and development
of 26-inch cymbals in the United
States and Afghanistan, is generally
considered to be the fine.st cymbalist
in rural Guilford County and is
placed among the thousand best
c.vmbalists in the western hemis
phere.
Mr. Cymbalo, a member of the
class of 1902, was prominent while
at 6. H. S., both in scholastic and
athletic events. In his senior year
he made the D honor roll every six
week grading jieriod with the ex
ception of two, and he was also
first assistant, substitute water boy
for the junior varsity volleyball
team. The knob at the top of the
present flag pole was placed there
by the class of 1902-and the Mono
gram Club in honor of his athletic
prowess.
Upon graduating from high
school, Mr. Cymbalo attended the
Southside Conservatory of Music
where he majored in cymbals and
