February 28, 1964 High I^ifp Page Seven Junior Whirlies Conclude Season In First Place The Junior Varsity Basketball team concluded their season with a 51-41 win over Page’s junior pirates. Their final record stands as 15-3 with their losses being slim. The game between the junior Whirlies and the Jay Vees from Burlington was far more exciting than the varsity game although the Whirlies dropped the game by one point in over time. They suf fered their other defeats at the hands of Raleigh and Durham. Raleigh who also handed the var sity team a loss beat the Junior Whirlies by only one point. Being basicly a good shooting team, Mr. John Gordy combined a large amount of height to give them rebound strength. Having two sophomores in the starting lineup to nature did not seem to hender their potential what-so- ever. Starting for the Jay Vees are John McNairy, Sophomore; Skip per Gardner, Junior; Don Dunn. Junior; Donald Peer, Sophomore; and Steve Blackwood, Junior. Fav orite substitutes are Philip Wea ver, Junior; and A1 Carton, Junior. The Junior Varsity program has proved especially successful here at Grimsley. Not only does it give the coaches a chance to groom the future varsity basketball teams it also gives its participants a taste of real competition and good sportsmanship. A Career In Higher Education By MILTON S. EISENHOWER President, The Johns Hopkins University editor's note: This is one of a series of special articles on various careers being distributed to high school news- papers by The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Md. A university is a small scale model of our society, and within our 2,000 institution of higher learning there are a multitude of career opportunities. The professors and researchers are the heart of the university, charged with its traditional mis sion of discovering and dissemi nating knowledge. Because the university has become the cross roads of our modem society— educating millions of students and providing the knowledge for prog ress in every area of endeavor— the need for teachers and re searchers increases every day. Re gardless of your interest—be it philosophy or physics—you will find a career in the university as teacher or researcher. CAMPUS LIFE The road to a teaching career is a rigorous one, and only those with an insatiable curiosity, a con cern for young people, and a ded ication to scholarship should set out on it The rewards of a teach ing career, however, are un matched by any other profession. Although the income is not high, it is increasing. And more im portant are the unique freedom and the rich intellectual and cul tural offerings that you will find on the lively and exciting enmpas. As the teaching and research functions in higher education have expanded dramatically in recent years, so has the administrative function. The university needs an administrative staff to serve the academicians. It must have admis sions officers, counselors, place ment directors, writers, editors, accountants, businessmen, fund raisers, technicians, secretaries, and many other specialists. An administrative career offers many of the advantages of the teaching career: the campus at mosphere, the freedom, the in volvement in a social institution that is vital to the progress and survival of our way of life. To prepare for a career in uni versity teaching or research, you must study. Whatever your par ticular interest, you must become a specialist in it. This means going beyond the bachelor’s degree to the master’s degree, then to the doctorate, and perhaps even to post-doctoral study. Nor can you stop there, for a teaching career requires a lifetime of study. SPECIALIZATION An administrative career also requires specialization. Your ex pertise in business, or journalism, or personnel work must be ac companied by an expertise in higher education itself. It is impossible for me to be more specific, for each of you will follow your own desires and talents. I can only say that for me a career in higher education has been demanding but completely satisfying.

Whirlie Words vontmued irom Page Six sides being the most universally played game, basketball is never affected by the weather and is really the easiest sport for a spec tator to watch and understand. Although the ACC tournament will be in action at the same time as the 4-A, Greensboro fans owe to the teams and themselves to come out all four nights, not just when the Whirlies play. Even An Athelete Can Take Time To Eat Coble Sporting Goods 119 NORTH GRKENE Phone BR 2-0912 Although this editor has already had his chance at picking the win ner of the NCAA Tournament, it may be wise to crawl back a short distance on the limb and predict that the champ wil be a southern team, Kentucky, Duke or David son. These three teams have solid line-ups and great coaches. The South plays some of the best bas ketball, team for team, in the whole country. Even though the national sports’^ters may not give our section adequate cover age, the South’s fortunes will rise again and pop through the nets.
