Last year, Smith began building its golf team for the coming 4A competition. After extensive practice and much hard work. Coach Claude Manzi led an anxious team into the tough 3A competition. In their first year of play, the Eagles proved to be able and willing foes to 3A oppo¬ nents. Coach Manzi cited Jack Baldwin, Lee Cavi¬ ness, Steve Jones, and Lee Owens as outstanding Eagle golfers. They proved to be consistent win¬ ners in helping Smith compile a 3-7 record. The Eagle golfers gained much valuable ex¬ perience in this first year, and figure to be much better in the coming seasons. 1965 Scoresheet Asheboro 15 Smith 0 E.

J9SM9 Majorettes Saluted For Outstanding Spirit No halftime show is complete without the participation of the majorettes. Our talented sex¬ tet, headed by Bobbie Morton, is no exception. Originality is the key word for Smith ' s high- stepping performers. They plan their own costumes and colorful choreography, and give breath-taking exhibitions of daring and dexterity, as they apall the audience with flaming baton routines. Majorettes, I. to r.: Linda Johnson, Julia Smith, Pat Caudle, Bobbie Morton, Rocky Walden, and Linda McDaniel. Fine form is displayed when majorettes participate in the Christmas parade in downtown Greensboro. Pretty, pert, peppy, and petite! Bobbie Morton sparkles with enthusiasm in her role as Head Majorette. 87

Cinder Men Show Eagle runners and jumpers did not gain much success as a team, but they had many members who worked very hard. Wayne Wright placed first in the central 4-A Sectionals with a high jump of 6 feet 2j 2 inches. Lawrence Baird won his heat at the Sectionals, but his time was not fast enough to get him into the state meet. Wayne Butler and Joe Lenins stood out in the shotput. All the boys will be back to win some meets this year as none were seniors. Wayne Wright will have a sparkling career ahead of him as he was only a sophomore. Charles Goodwin clears the high hurdle easily as he prepares for an upcoming meet. He has to jump several of these hurdles in an actual race. Signs Of Victory Wayne Wright demonstrates his unorthodox jumping style which gained him a berth in the state meet. Track Team; kneeling, I. to r.: Wayne Wright, Dickie Hughes, Wayne Butler, Gary Troxler, Robert Hege, Donald Crews, Joe Lenins; second row: Coach Bill Thompson, Ray Linney, Lawrence Baird, Wayne Mungo, Lynn Smith, Robert Poole, Charles Walker, and Glen Bowman.
