Calypso and Grady were never
separated by more than a few
points throughout the closely-con
tested affair, and the lead changed
hands many times before the Grady
girls finally went out in front
to stay.
Grady had taken a one-point, 21
20, first-quarter lead, but Calypso
rallied in the second period to
lead 36-34 at the half. In the third
stanza, Grady moved out in front
by dropping in 24 points during the
period, but Calypso came back in
the final quarter to outscore the
winners, but an attempt to surge
ahead died when the final gun
sounded.
Peggy Turner with 32 and Rachel
Davis with 27, led the Calypso at
tack, while H. Smith with 29 and
Herring with 19 were top scorers
for the winners. Calypso’s Peggy
Williamson made 11 points, while
Houston of Grady accounted for
12.
Guards for Calypso were Glenn
Price, Marjorie Pridgen, and Mary
Rose Davis. They played the entire
game without relief. Grady starting
guards were Miller, Smith, and
Dunn. Relieving the starters were
Hill, Garner, Howell, and Waller.
The boys’ contest also was a see
saw affair. Grady was out in front
16-13 at the end of the first'quar
ter, trailing 33-26 at the half, and
45-41 at the end of the third pe
riod. At the end of the final pe
riod Grady tied up the game, to
force the contest into overtime.
In the brief overtime period Beu
laville scored four points while B.
F. Grady made only three.

Needed by
Neuse Park ,
A campaign to raise $5,000 for
building a drink stand and rest
rooms at the 10-acre lake of the
Cliffs of the Neuse.State Park near
Seven Springs was launched sever
al weeks ago, and already one-fifth
of that amount has been raised,
Russell Kornegax, park superin
tendent, disclosed this week.
Kornegay revealed the new bath
house and lake will open on May
28, and he hoped the response to
the appeal would be so quick and
generous that the drink stand and
restrooms could be ready on that
date. ■ t.
Kornegay said yesterday that
since the drive was launched about
$600 in cash donations and about
$400 in materials have been con
tributed. Help of any kind will be
appreciated, he said.
Those sending checks or mater
ials can be assured their contribu
tions will be used for the facilities.
Kornegay said no check will be
cashed until the goal has been
reached, and in the event the
drive is not successful all contri
butions will be returned. “But we
will reach the goal,” he said with
confidence.
Checks should be made out to
the Park Building fund and ad
dressed to Kornegay at the: Cliffs
of the Neuse, Seven Springs, N. C.
Kornegay is carrying his appeal
directly to the business and pro
fessional men of Goldsboro, Mount
Olive, Kinston, and other towns and,
cities in the nearbg counties, -
The park has public rest rooms
and a soft drink stand, but these
are located uphill a considerable
distance from the lake. Spectators
will not be permitted to use bath
house facilities as these will be re
served for swimmers, Kornegay ex
plained.
Frank Seymour, chairman of the
advisory committee of the park,
said that the state had used up ev
ery possible dollar available In
building the lake. It was pointed
out this is the first time a public
appeal for help for improving the
park has ever been made.
