Whirlette Swimmers Set
Another group around GHS that
gets very little credit for its hard
work is the girls’ swimming team.
Under the excellent direction of
Coach Jamieson, they practice in
the WC pool every night from 6
till 7. The girls came back from
the Atlanta meet February 7 with
top honors, having proved to the
Georgia girls that lightning (or
rather Greensboro) can strike
three times. In that overwhelm
ing victory the GHS mermaids
carried off seven of the ten first
places and set three meet records.
Eastern Invitational
The girls’ next meet is the
fourth annual Eastern Indoor In
vitational to be held at Woman’s
College, March 21, just a week
from tomorrow. Although the
Whirlette mermaids lost this meet
to Congressional Country Club of
Washington, D. C., last year, they
are ready and waiting to get "re
venge. Several other top teams
are expected, and even if the
way is rough, the Greensboro girls
are hot easily beaten.
Judy Weaver, Betsy Glynn, and
Frances McNairy are three of the
fastest breaststroke swimmers on
the Eastern Seaboard. Judy and
Betsy, along with Penny Taliaferro
are good on the individual medley.
Penny is also a champion back-
stroker and holds quite a few
records. Karen Gill is the, team’s
outstanding distance swimmer and
Carolyn Brown runs her a close
second when she is not in the
breastroke or butterfly events.
Christina Stewart swims the 50
and 100 yard freestyle races and
is a valuable addition to the relay
teams. The team’s newest member,
Christina Bird, ,is an up-and-com
ing freestyle swimmer. Annette
Glanckopf swims the freestyle and
backstroke events.

stop, look, and answer me this
one: What are considered the ma
jor sports at Greensboro Senior
High and what are the minor ones?
Finished? Well the answer is that
there are no major or minor sports
at GHS. The Whirlies are putting
top teams into the fields of bas
ketball, baseball, wrestling, golf,
football, and swimming.
Take swimming for instance.
Senior High HAS always boasted
a strong swimming team, with
Ranny Dodson, currently a star at
Carolina, and Pat Earey, head
Coach for the Tar Heels, both
products of GHS swimming.
This year’s team is no excep
tion. It is a good team, but an up
and down team; a team which has
produced many bright individual
stars and shared a few record-
shattering moments, but one which
as this story is being written,
has more defeats on its record
than victories. At this point in
the season. Coach Bondanella’s
tankmen own a 3-5 record, losing
twice to Meyers Park and once

eigh. The Whirlies have been in
four larger meets; placing third
in the East CaroUna Inivitational
and Atlanta meets and second in
the Southern High School Cham
pionships and in the State Meet.
The high point of the season has
been the State Meet, held March
7 at Chapel Hill. In this very im
portant meet the Whirlie tank
men finished second behind Myers
Park of Charlotte. Although they
didn’t win the team championship
GHS’s boys carried off more first
places than any other team, The
outstanding medley relay team of
Harry Schiffman, Dan Derby, Paul
Sikes, and Butch Edwards easily
won their eVent in record time
Mackie Stout. Lem Walters. Fred
Wedler, and Edwards combined
to give the Whirlies a sweep of
the relay events by winning the
200-yard freestyle relay
Also placing first in individual
events were Derby, in the 100-
meter flystroke, Sikes in the back-
stroke. and Walters in the 150
meter individual medley. Gaining
points for GHS through second
and third place finishes were
Skipper Burwell in the 200 and
400 meter freestyle, and Goddy
Pier in the Individual medley and
the breastroke. Tommy Steed
rounded out the Whirlie scoring
by placing second in the diving
events.
Playing an important part in
any swimming meet is the diving
event. Coach Bcndanella has noth
ing but praise for his diving ace, boro, March 21.

Harry Schiffman, Paul Sikes, and

Tommy Steed. Bondanella says
that Steed has helped the team
very much this year. His is a top-
noted diver and was a strong
contender for the state diving
championship this year, although
finishing second.
But, above all ,it is the team it
self that Coach Bondanella is
quick to praise. The team swims
in its last meet here in Greens-
