March 8, 1955 High Life Page Five Whirlie Wsmmin' By Mary Jane Seawell An all-fired softball team is in the making it appears. Forty girls have signed up to play for GHS this season. In the competition Senior will play Curry High School and High Point High. Return pitchers for the team are Martha Yates and Sue Kimell. Also signed up for the pitching mound are Kay Shaffer, Jeanette Brame, and Petitesa Klenos. Losing Jean Bateman came as a blow, but Jenny Lee, Vicki Stew art, Clara Roberts, Ann Collins, and Maxine Callisher are all there ready to smash in for position of catcher. All veterans back from last year are Jeneil Edwards, Martha Yates, Lucille Yow, Cynthia Burley, Dot Smith, Margie Mitchell, Sue Kim ell, Betty Sink and Kathleen Sat terfield. Recruiting from Curry after a rest are Nancy Doggett and Diane White. Faye Watson shows much prom ise in being a neat third baseman for this year’s team. Pat Gillie is also looking good this year. Among the 30 that practiced March 28 after school were these sophomores: Kay Shaffer, pitcher; Lynn Rankin, first base, Joy Brown and Billie Jessup, field. All of these players looked good. Just a word of friendly advice to you girls: You know you’re playing at a disadvantage because of your field, so just don’t let your handicap get the best of you; be careful and jump those pits. I’d hate to see anyone hobbling around the school on crutches. Drawing nearer every day is the Play Day in High Point on April 23. Already signed up for the activities are: Borden High, GREENSBORO DRUG COMPANY C. M. FORDHAM DEWEY FARRELL 230 W. Market DIAL 6147 Girls’ Swimming Team To Spend Vacation In Ga.

French Contest Entered By McGee And Toenes Mrs. Jessie Gorrell and Miss Es- tell Mitchell, GHS French teachers, entered their classes in the Na tional French Contest, during the National French Contest Week, which began March 28. Two papers have been submitted to represent Greensboro Senior High. Louise McGee, a junior and first-year French student, and Sara Toenes, a junior and second-year French stu dent', were selected to enter their papers. The contest consisted of tests on dictation, aural comprehension questions* translations, the civili-. zation of France, grammar, and French vocabulary questions. It took the .students two 50-minute periods to complete. The American Association of Teachers of French were the spon sors of this National Contest. Win ning papers in North Carolina are entered in a regional contest in the South, and the regional win ners are entered into National com petition. Last year, a first-year French student from Kittrell, North Caro lina won first place in the National French Contest.

Faculty advisers are Miss Dorothy McNairy, Miss Re becca Frazier, and Miss Majorie Gabrial, while student co-chair men are Bill Williamson, junior, and Kay Wrenn, senior. The students, having voted to hold the May Day on the school lawn as traditional, held a meet ing to select participants. Approx imately 150 people showed up' Franklin for this primary convening. At the second assemblage the attend ance had narrowed down to fifty persons. Says Miss McNairy about the May Day, “This year will be the test to see of the students really want a May Day since they did vote for it. We have' good co-opera tion at practices, there’s no reason why it shouldn’t continue.” Certain school organizations are planning skits for the program.

In the event that it should rain, the program will be postponed for the next day, May 6. The Junior marshalls will usher on this occasion. out each day at Proximity YMCA. The team is coached by Mr. Bob Jamieson of Senior High and is composed of five girls from Senior and several girls from junior high schools. The girls from Senior are Ashton Edwards, Phyllis Glynn, Paddy Sue Wall, Lou Ellen Richey and Becky Ozment. The team is expected to be much stronger next year because of the increase in members. When the new pool is opened this summer, the girls plan to work out there. They are also planning a pageant for the open ing of the new pool. The girls traveled to Duke* Uni versity on March 26 where they won first place in the girls’ divi sion. Ashton Edwards placed third in the 100 and 200 free-style and second in the backstroke. Phyllis Glynn won first place in the breast stroke and Lou Ellen Richey placed second with Becky Ozment placing third. Paddy Sue Wall was fourth in the 100-200 free-style. Three of the girls, Ashton, Phyl lis and Paddy Sue, placed third in the Southeastern Championship meet in Atlanta, February 5, 1955. The team has held the North and South Carolina girls’ championship title for the past four years. The team has traveled to North Carolina, Columbia, South Caro lina, Atlanta and La Grange, Georgia, Tennessee, Oak Ridge, Chambersburgh, Pennsylvania and Virginia. The girls from the junior high schools are not always eligible to swim in some meets because of their age, but they frequently put on exhibition swimming. Coach Jamieson has only one graduating senior on his team, Paddy Sue Wall. School's Class Of 1922 Began Class Ring Rifuai BUTTER KRUST Is Good Bread CLEGGS BAKERY MARUS FOR THE BEST IN MARBLE AND TUT 1419 WESTOVER PHONE 3-8205 When did GHS get their class ring? Have they always been with the gold block “G”? What was their cost? The Class of 1922 won the right to the first class ring, a gold ring with an oval shield and decorated with gold designs. The year of graduation was on its side. Each year the class chose its own ring. When the school moved to Westover Terrace the ring changed again to one with a repli ca of the new. building on one side and the school seal on the other. In 1931 the rings changed to gold with an amethyst stone. These lasted until the stones became hard to get in the early years of World War II. After this the rings chang ed to the present class ring with the gold block “G”. The price of the rings has changed only a little, in fact only $1.76 in the past 33 years. Approximately 400 juniors and Under Cover By Betty Adams “We feel that it calms Friday- itis,” is the comment made by Miss Herring about the new feature recently added to our library, the playing of classical and semi-classi cal records during every period on Fridays. Since Friday is one of the two days set aside each week for read ing magazines leisurely, the li brary staff felt that some music would be enjoyable and would help calm down the excitement of the approaching week-end. With some of the money turned in for fines, several albums of classical rec ords have been purchased. The students’ response to the music has been splendid,” remarks Miss Herring. “Rosary”, “In a Monastery Gar den”, and “Fire Dance” are a few of the musical compositions in cluded in KOSTELANETZ FAV ORITES, a popular album among students. Other favorites are, KOS TELANETZ PROGRAM, which in cludes such familiar music as “Clair de Lune”; and THE HEART OF THE VIOLIN CONCERTO, in which the RCA Victor Orchestra performs. Not only does the library pos sess classical music, but also semi- classical music. One semi-classical album, which has proved very pop ular, is “Organ Encores”. Such all-time favorites as “Stardust”, , “Indian Love .Call”, and “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes” are included in this album. Many students do not recognize the reference uses of magazines, but feel they are entirely for pleas ure reading. Monday’s and Fri day’s are purposely set aside for leisure reading of the magazines, but the other weekdays are for reference work which includes magazines when they are used for reference. Last year 26,000 magazines were circulated for reference uses. Many magazines contain valuable infor mation which cannot be found in books. Let’s all start using the magazines found in our school li brary for reference work as well as- for pleasure reading.
