Mere And There

An original way for selecting
■homecoming queen was originated
■by the students of Walter M. Wil-
lliams High School in Burlington,
■N. C. Both the queen and her at-
Itendents were selected by a very
■popular couple . . . Tony Curtis and
■Janet Leigh!
At Durham High School, Durham,
In. C., girls are nominated for home-
I coming queen from the various
I classes. Students are asked to vote
I for their favorite candidate at one
I penny a vote. The homecoming
I queen and her court are only a
I small portion of the festivities.
I Parades, music, dancing, pep ral-
I lies, and of course the homecom
ing game itself make the day an
occasion to remember.
One day is set aside each year
[ at Stonewall Jackson High School
in Charleston, W. Va., to help the
[ students in making their plans for
the future. Such professions as min
istry, chemistry, architecture, den-
' tistry, social work, modeling, crimi
nology, and many others are dis
cussed by representatives of that
profession.
Bolles School in Jacksonville,
Florida, has‘an extremely industri
ous journalism class. They edit not
only the school paper, the Bolles
Bugle, but also the school annual.
Dancing “Dogpatch” style is the
current vogue of the high school
students in Durham. Square danc
ing, bare feet, and cornstalks are
becoming as common in the'ir
school gymnasium as basketballs.
It wouldn’t be unusual for a
stranger to enter Sanford Central
High School and find all students
and teachers crouching on the floor
next to the nearest wall, desk, etc.
They aren’t just tired of their
school work, but they are being
taught the proper way to protect
themselves in case of an atomic
bomb attack.
FTA Members Present
Educational Assembly
Presenting the first assembly of
the new semester were the future
teachers of GHS, composed of 129
members and advised by Mr. W.
L. Anderson and Miss Lucille
Browne.
Before the prepared program,
Cpach Bob Jamieson expressed his
appreciation of student support at
the basketball games. He also rec
ognized Jimmy Jones, GHS’s All
Southern football player, as a mem
ber of the 1953 all state team.
Betty Bell, president of FTA.
then took charge.
Barbara Jamieson gave the de
votion, which centered on the im
portance of faith.
Kitten Barringer, Paddy Sue
Wall, and Pat Leary, members of
FTA, told of the progress and ac
tivities of the club at GHS.
Enlightening the audience, were
the Queen’s Men, who, with song,
told of their views of education.
Next, Betty introduced Miss
Mary Lou Rhodes and Mr. Louis
Eargle, seniors at Hi^h Point Col
lege, who showed the humorous
side of teaching.
The last speaker was Mr. Nile
Hunt, recruit for teachers, who
gave his opinion as to the import
ance of education and teachers.
One of the main points expressed
by Mr. Hunt was that the power
of growth is one of the greatest
forces in the world.
The announcements of a presen
tation of a scholarship to a com
ing graduate of GHS, who is in
terested in teaching, was made by
Proximity’s librarian, Mrs. Mar
garet Dupuy.
Winston Gray Defeab
Whirliettes By 38-32
Winston Gray took home honors
from a searing game with the
Whirliettes last week by a score
of 38 to 32.
In the first quarter, tension was
greatly felt in the GHS sextet,
composed of Martha Yates, Jean
Bateman, Sarah Roberts, Lenoria
Newnam, and Linda Moss. For
some reason, they just, couldn’t get
the push that was greatly needed.
Therefore, Winston took advantage
of the opportunity bestowed upon
them. Holt of the Gray team show
ed great skill as she ended the
game with a total of 15 points.
Later in the game, Moore of
Greensboro came in as a substi
tute and went wild. In one quarter,
she had 10 points to her credit.
From that point, the GHS team
fought hard. They worked to
gether to really bring in the points.
However as time ran out, they
could not get the heeded points to

Have you students noticed the
cute little girl over in the girls’
gym today?
She’s Carol Williams, a GHS
graduate of 1950. Carol is substitut
ing for “Gabs,” who is in Charlotte,
observing the phys. ed. classes at
various schools.
While at Senior, Carol really
made a record for herself. She was
an honor student, a member of
Torchlight, and she was on the first
team in every sport. Though she
is very small in size, this does not
handicap her. She’s as quick 'on
her feet as a mouse and just as
alert. Carol has a wonderful per
sonality, and after today, you girls
who take physical education will
surely agree that you had a “real
treat” in your classes.
During lunch one day last week,
there was a man on top of the
girls’ gym.
Haven’t tried to find out what he
was doing, but wouldn’t it be won
derful if he might have been taking
estimates as to the costs of paint
ing the outside of the gym, and
reconditioning the. floor?
Personality of the Week—Mar
jorie Gabriel.
To those who know her well, a
crazy little mixed up kid would
describe this fun loving, exciting
and friendly teacher as “Gabe.”
However at the proper time and
place, usually school, she gives the
impression of a dignified teacher
who is very serious about her
work. She really is, too. As sports
Girls' Junior Varsity
Loses To Winston Gray
Girls’ junior varsity smashed
Winston’s Gray High School in a
game last week by a decided score
of 19 to 7.
Greensboro led the way the en
tire game. The Gray team failed
to score once in the first half,
senior Irene Thomas held her own
as she bagged a total of five baskets
during the game.
Greensboro’s guards also played
a fine defense job as was noted by
both coaches of the opposing teams.
Gray’s team was composed of the
following: Posey, Swain, King,
Rierson, Mustin, Lemons, Widner,
Fry, Lee, Hoover, Crater, Jarrard,
and Tate. High scorer was Rier
son with four points.
Greensboro’s team included
Thomas, Phillips, Edwards, Yow,
Mann, Burley, Traughber, Jones,
and Lowe. High scorer was Thomas
with nine points.
are her major thought, nothing
could fit better than for her to be
a physical education teacher.
‘Gabe,” a graduate of Woman’s
College, came to GHS six years
ago. If you ask her how she’s en
joyed her career, she’ll quickly
answer that every moment has
been worth the effort. It’s no joke
about effort either. It takes a lot
of hard work to come up with so
many winning teams.
“Gabe” really is a credit to GHS.
She also is adviser for the Les
Soeurs, a social club. How she
does so much in so little time is
really puzzling. Whether it’s work
ing on May Day, at a basketball
game, teaching a class, or anything
else, you can always count on
