Whirlie Wimmin'
By Mary Jane Seawell
Play Day for the sports-minded
girls is coming around sooner than
anyone realizes. This event will
be in High Point on April 23.
AAA high schools from all over the
state will have girls present to
represent their school. GHS will
have about 20 girls there. The
girls that go in for after-school
sports are beginning to prepare
for the “Big Day”.
The girls will compete in volley
ball, softball, horseshoes, tennis,
(singles and doubles), running
broad jump, a 30-yard and a 75-
yard dash, shuttle relays, and soft-
ball throw for distance. It has
been rumored that Jeanette Brame,
a sophomore who made a great
showing during basketball season,
will be in the spotlight for horse
shoes, and Jeneil Edwards, out
standing athlete for the Whirlie
Wimmin’, will be doing the run
ning for GHS.
This Play Day originated three
years ago. Points are given to
schools for each victor. The high
school having the most points is
the state champion of the Play
Day. GHS has had very high
standing every year and is plan-
nning to hit the top in this year’s
contests.
On Friday, May 13, at Woman’s
College the North Carolina Girls’
Athletic Association will have a
Play Day for all the girls of the
state. There will be 500 or more
girls present at this appearance.
Y-Teen Girls' Club Enjoys
Many YWCA Activities
awareness, appearance, neatness,
crowd appeal, poise, enthusiasm,
voice, volume, and clearness. New
cheers will probably be used so
every girl will have an equal
chance. There will be a group of
judges who do not know the girls
to select the winners. Everyone
will have an equal chance, so be
planning to attend the cheerlead
ing clinic.'
‘Won’t y’all pul-lease buy some
potato chips?” Pretty soon this plea
will be uttered from the girls’ Y-
Teen Club as they initiate their
annual “Potato Chip Ball.” The
energetic gal who sells the most
boxes will be rewarded with a-free
trip to New York, where, with
other Y-Teens who finance their
own trips, she will see a Broadway
show and “do the town.”
Selling, however, is only one
phase of their activities. The pur
pose of . the Shy-Hy-Ny, which is
the club moniker, is “to try to
build fellowship of women and
girls devoted to the task of realiz
ing in our common life those ideals
of personal and social living to
which we are committed by our
faith as Christians. In this endea
vor we seek to understand Jesus,
to share His love for all people.

I think that I shall never see
a poem as lovely as a tree” (or
anything else as lovely, either)
should be David Thomas’ motto.
This senior boy is planning to be
a tree-surgeon, that is. Ever since
he was 14 his father, who owns
Thomas Tree Service, (plug) has
been molding him to this occupa
tion.
“Some of our work includes
pruning, shaping, topping, taking
down, woodland develpment, feed
ing, cavity work (this isn’t the
sort of cavity work like a dentist
does but filling dead areas with
concrete) and bark tracing, which
is dressing open wounds (sounds
like the doctor’s office again).
Some strange experiences I have
had along the line include being
called by the humane society to
rescue cats, parakeets, parrots,
and people who have climbed trees
and couldn’t get down,” explained
David.
In college he will take a course
in arboriculture. (This isn’t for
estry), at the University of Massa
chusetts, the only college in the
country to give this course. David
taking or has taken these
courses: chemistry, general science,
biology, math, public speakingr
salesmanship, and bookkeeping to
prepare himself for his future
college training.

Last summer during vacation, he
worked on the salesmanship and
the selling end of the business. A
year ago he attended the regional
Shade Tree Conference with his
father. It was held in Charleston,
South Carolina.
Next summer he plans to attend
the conference in August. The
National Arborists Association
keeps them posted on all the latest
data on diseases and cures.

and to grow in the knowledge and
love of God.”
As is the practice of most clubs,
the girls aspire to definite goals.
These are embodied in growing as
a person, growing in friendship
with people of all races, religious,
and nationalities, and growing in
the knowledge and love of God.
Club membership is open to all
girls who would strive to uphold
the purpose and the goals.
The Shy-Hy-Ny meets every
Tuesday afternoon at four o’clock
at the YWCA. Maranell Pearsall,
president, presides over the as
semblage. Other officers are-Susan
Martens, vice-president; Camille
Merriman, program chairman;
Jerry Mann, secretary; Linda Wat
son, treasurer; and Diane Evans,
devotional chairman.
These femmes participate in a
number of activities. As a past
activity, 16 members did volun
teer work at the Cerebral Palsy
school, and many plan to go back
to this work during the summer.
Early in the fall about 30 Y-
Teens went to Washington, D. C.
for the YWCA World Fellowship
Service at the National Cathedral.
After they got back, they sched
uled a series of programs with
the Pearson Street (Negro) YWCA
for a panel discussion on the Su
preme Court decision.
The last project was the Heart
Fund, and next will be the Crip
pled Children’s Drive.
In the future they plan to study
extensively the three major re
ligions.
A number of the girls are work
ing toward being assistant advisers
to younger Y-Teens next year.
Last summer a trip was made to
Florida, only one of the opportun
ities and high lights offered by
the organization.
