We have come to know them very wellg and no matter what they do, we really like them. -Here they are: MEL goneycutt is our superintendent. He has a cheerful smile, an excellent tenor voice, and horn-rimmed spectacles. He's enthusiastic about modern educational theories and often discuss- es them with us. That's why we like him. There are just some people you can't say enough about. Within a year Wg:-Qonggd has become one of usg he has been a helpful advisor to both seniors and underclassmen. His guiding hand has made the Student Council and many other of our activi- ties a success. Principals and superintendents come and go, but Miss Maclver sticks by us to plead our case and prod us along. She knows us all, and everybody likes her. No matter what disasters befall us, she has a cheery word and an ever-ready smile to help us out of our difficulties. Mr. Giduz is a Bostonian with the sharpest pair of eyes and ears on record. Note to prospective French students: Mr. Giduz is the hardest teacher to get by we've ever known. But that doesn't make us like him any the lessg he's a favorite of us all. Mr. Farrar was coaching dramatic performances at the high school when we were learning our multiplication tables, and he's just as good as ever now. We could never have gotten along this year if he hadn't directed our senior play. During several of our years in high school, Qr. Gwynn was superintendant. He ruled the school with an iron hand but with a pleasant smile. He has been and still is inspiring all his students with his Latin course in Caesar. V Probably the chief reason for Mr. Munch's popularity is his sympathetic and understanding manner. He brought us all vic- torius through the trial of learning what a plus b is equal to, and we really learned! J SENIOR LIFE '38 If we had any romantic illusions about George Washing- ton, Alexander Hamilton, or Andrew Jackson, Mr. King brought us down to earth. It is his humorous pictures of historical figures and incidents that make his classes especially interesting. Up in the biology room there is a fascinating collec- tion of scientific specimensfincluding some very gruesome pickled snakesl. This is the work of Dr. ffestpQ,who, at one time or an- other has made most of us interested in science. The lntelligentsia of our class worked themselves to death trying to make an HAH under Miss Penny, and the rest of us worked just as hard trying to make a passing grade. We expect the future poets and writers of America to say, HMiss Penny taught us in high schooln. .Prominent jaw, cowlick at the back of his head, satir- ic smile always present: that's Ep, 3955. He used to fight the Gallic Wars with Caesar, but now he's finding in Freshman Eng 4 lish classes ample occasion for his own inimitable brand of wit. Mr. Templeton is our chorus director, but he teaches history on the side. When you hear the Glee Club singing and not- ice there is at least one fine tenor voice in it, if ycu'll just inquire around, you will find that it is really Mr. Templeton! Mr. Leggett has taught some of us English, and the Jun- ior Dramatic Club under his direction has amused us all hiChapel. If those recitations and skits are a sample of his work we should have more people like Mr. Leggett around this school. Miss Riddle got a raw deal coming from Ellerbec,where students behave themselves,to here where the pupils just don't. And if you think her classes are pretty smooth sailing, just wait until exams, you'll see! Q Mr. House only this year brought his energy, wit, and photograph albums down from Pennsylvania. He teaches math to the Students who are interested, and the others wait for wisecracks. All in all, he has been a valuable addition to our faculty. Y One of the most romantic figures around school for the past two years has been Nicholas Korjj, the Russian German teach- er. Tall, handsome, with an intriguing accent, Mr. Korff is ad- mired and liked by all those who know him. 1 CContinued on page 135 j Page 5 V ...--- ,.

Wilhelmina is grace and charm personified. With lovely naturally wavy hair and beautiful eyes, one gets the imprjssion upon first seeing her that she is the clinging-vine typeg b t you are wrong! Full of life, she makes a grand athleteg just ask her teammates. Joawsir eAsoN- g Hi-YCl,2,5,4Dg cies ciubci,e,3,prQs1aent 45g Knitting ClubQ4D. Johnsie is one of the sweetest and prettiest girls that any sen- ior class could boast of. She has a million-dollar smile and a sixteen carat voice. Who said we were off the gold-standard? MARY STANLEY BERNARD- Hi-YC2,3,4Dg DramaticsCl,4Dg Proconiani4Dg CheerleaderC4D3 SEN- IOR LIFE StaffC4D. Mary Stanley is always bubbling over- a real fountain of energy. She's knownbest around C.H.H.S. for her work on the HProconianH. When there's any work that needs some artistic talent and origin- ality, one always thinks of Mary Stanley. Full of vitality and animation, she is one of the most popular girls in the class. Juiiaieooxea- Hi-YC2,5,4Dg DramaticsCl,4Dg ProconianC4Dg CheerleaderC4Dg Sec- retary and Treasurer Senior Classg Editor SRNIGR LIFE. p Julia really has that certain something. We know it because of her sparkling lovable personality which makes her the most popu- lar girl in the class. We could never have gotten along without her easy natural leadership and her undying pep and energy. vase 5 V ,V-A ,,,,, . , ,,,-,--,,-. -.,..........------------ +--- -'---A '- - ' ' - ........,.... SENIGR LIFE '58 MYRON BURCH- Library ClubCl,4D. Myron looks like the real studious typeg but beneath a dignified exterior, there is a lot of life and vitality. He is a good work- er too, as shown by his painting most of the scenery for the Gen- ior Play. He is always neat and perfectly dressedg we can im- agine him as a model for HEsquireH. DFLL BUSH- DramaticsCl,2,5,4Dg Hi-YC5,4D. ' Dell is one of the cutest girls in the senior class, and she de- serves the title! Not only adorable-looking, but she also has a grand personality. And have you ever heard her sing a blues- song? Just waits you have a real treat coming. Despite the fact that Dell blows up every now and then, we know she is not really serious because a mischifvous little twinkle in her eyes gives away her grand disposition. OUIDA CAMPBELL- p Dramaticsi2,3,4Dg Glec ClubC4Dg Knitting C1ubC4D. Ouida really knows how to get the teachers wound around her lit- tle fingerg and that's an art few of us have been able to accom plish. Everybody knows Ouida by her red hair which is already far-famedg but to add to that her aggresivc personality and an interest in all that she undertakes to do, make her one of the more outstanding people in school.r RFID CHHFK- Dramaticsil,3yice-president4D5 Hi-YC5,4Dg TennisC3,4Dg Glec ClubC4Jg ProconianCManaging editor 415 Sports ClubC2Dg SENIOR LIFE staff C4D. A versatile person, Reid has been a prominent member of the Dra- matic Clubg can sing much better than the averageg and is one of the smartest people in the class. And with that dark complex- ion he is one of the best-looking boys in school. Now, what more could you ask? - i- -- ' . -- ' 'J ' --. ..- .. ....,..'.....:4... SENIOR LIFE '58 NOELIE cox- washington, D.c. High SchoolCl,2,5Dg Hi-Yf4Dg K Z 1 L ' ,, ' '!,'.1'7,4', JF ,..-,,...- ProconianC4D. Although Noelie is new this year, it didn't take her long to get into the swing of thingsg and from the very beginning we felt as if she were one of usl She always has a pleasant word and an un- usually cheery smile for everybody. The editor of the HProccn- ianu claims that shc's the most dependable and consistent worker on the staff- and that IS something! HORACE DARK- Sports ClubC4D. Horace's chief charm is his low Southern drawl,which is the real McCoy. But despite his laaynnnnen we believe he's deceiving us. Horace is really energetic when once he's interested in what he's doing. He has a great many friends in our class, and We wish him the best luck ever. T.C. FAHRELL- FootballCl,2,5,4Dg Glee ClubCl,2,5,4Dg DramaticsC5,4Dg Manager basketball teamC5,4Dg BaseballC2Dg TrackC4Dg ProconianC4D. In spite of the mischievous tricks T.C. is usually up to, we can not help but like him a lot. His ever-ready cheerfulness and good sportsmanship have won him friends everywhere. Then, too, he is talented in a musical way, having been in the school operctta for the last three years. He also entered the state music contest as tenor soloist when he was a junior. We hope he docsn't waste-that grand voice in the bathtub for the rest of his life! KATHLEEN GLENN- i Hi4Ycs,4b3 -Library ClubCl,2Dg science ciubcibg Physical Edqsbg Art ClubC5Dg Knitting ClubC4D3 Secretary and cmore and Junior Classesg Junior Marshall.

SENIOR LIFE '38 and Treasurer 433 Glee Clubf4Dg ProconianC4D. Frank has one of the grandest tenor voices that ever hit C.H.H.S. But that isn't the end of his talents! He plays the piano beauti- fully and has a real future in his acting. We believe that he is one of those Hpotcntial geniusesn who is really going places! VIRGINIA GROVES- Home EconomicsC2Dg Knitting Clubf4Dg Glee ClubC4Dg Hi-YC4D. Virginia is very little and dainty, as the French would say, Upc- titeu. Her lovely brown hair and eyes are the first things that attract your attention. Then you notice that she is always neat- ly and immaculately dressed. And last, but certainly not least, she is one of those girls who really looks darling with freckles. THELMA HOHNER- DramaticsCl,2,5,4Dg Basketballfllg Hi-YC4Dg Speech ClubC4D. Thelma will be remembered by her sweet soft vdlce and contagious laugh. Cute, little, and full of fung she is always ready to join in anything. But that docsn't mean she doesn't do any work, She has been an indespensible member of the Dramatic Club all during high school. I JOSEPHINE JOHNSTON- Hi-YCl,2,3,4Dg Glas G1ubCl,2,E,4Dg BasketballC5,4Dg Knitting ClubC4D. I Jo is one of the cutest girls we know. Always vivacious, she has plenty of personality plus. If we could turn back the clock to 1360, she would be typical of the popular Southern Belle, right on down to the drawl. Htre's luck to a hcartbreakcr! JANE KNIGHT- Hi-Yflgvice-president 2, treasurer 3, State Hi-Y President 45g DramaticsCl,2,4Dg ProconianC2, Business manager 4Dg Glce ClubC2Dg Hillife staffC5Dg President Senior Class.

There's a saying that beautiful blondes are dumb. Well, we'll ad- mit that Edna's beautiful but she certainly isn't dumb! She's an HAH l student and a simply swell girl. Edna has also been an in- valuable member of the Hi-Y for four years and is always on hand when there is any work to be done. HOYLE MacBANR- TennisCl,2,3Dg Baseballfcaptain dbg Sports ClubC4D. The fact that Hoyle has carried our baseball team to several vice tories is enough to show that he has been a very capable captain of the team. He's a grand athlete, and the tennis team certainly missed a swell player when Hoyle gave up the game this last year in school. But then athletics is not his only specialty. HLes femmesu take up a little of his time, and it seems he can really get 'em- just ask a few of those Raleigh girls! EUGENE MacCAULEY- BoXin.C2 45' FoetballC2D' Glee Clubl5D' DramaticsC4D. 9 2 7 2 No Tnghas ever yet reported having seen Eugene when he was not smiling. Always in a good humor, he never seems to be able to lose his temper. A good athlete,y he specializes in swimming and is a really beautiful diver. We expect him to be a professional swimmer someday, or perhaps an Olympic champion! JGHN MacCAULEY- Baseballfmanager 43g BandC4D. -. I John is a practical joker, always up to somethingg but it doesn't really bother us because he has such a swell disposition. We've yet to see him mad with somebody.

Our best-looking boy! Our most outstanding athlete! The best bar- itone for miles around! What can we say about the most versatile person in our class who jumps hurdles as fast as he makes touch- downs? But in spite of the many important positions he's holding in school, he still finds time to be just about the swellest guy in C.H.H.SI WARREN MENGBL- Hi-YCl,5, president 25455 BaskctballCl,2,3,4Dg TrackCl,2,5,4D.

He is a grand athlete a good student, president of the Hi-Y, and a prominent member of the senior class. Look at that list and then you probably will a- gree with me in saying that he really is Qswelln in every sense of the word! MARY FRANCES MUNCH- Glec ClubCl,2,3,4Dg Hi-YC5,4D. We can't say enough about our most talented senior who has put C.H.H.S. on the map by really getting something out of a bunch cf ivory keys. She claims she never studies, but I wish she'd tell us why those A's appear each month on her report card! BARBARA NIVILLF- Glee ClubCl,3,4, secretary 25, Hi-YQ2,3,4Dg Library ClubCl,2Dg HOmG ECOnOmiCSC2DQ SENIOR LIFE staffC4D. Barbara has one of the loveliest alto voices in C.H.H.S. During her four years of high school, she has been an indespensible mem- ber of the Glee Club. But that isn't all! She's doneailotof work in the Hi-Y, and her friendliness and naturalness make her one of the most likeable people in the class. page lO ,X 'wh N . .- - '-vi '7 - V-. .. . -Vo v A ', -v.-,L7,-wuv-- n-r- . ., .-, W -J-hw , , , , SENIOR LIFE '38 Hilda is the kind of person who can take charge of a group and really put some pep into it. Look at the Dramatic Club! And in- telligent! We've really got something here. Anyway, she's been one of those Hcan't do withoutn classmates, well-known and liked by all of us. A VERA MAE THRIFT- BasketballC1,2,3,4D3 Glee ClubCl,5,4Dg Sports ClubCl,SDg Home EconomiesC2Dg DramaticsC4Dg Knitting Clubfdj. Vera Mae is one of the liveliest girls any of us have ever known. She's always on the go- and I really mean Hon the gon. Have you ever seen her on the basketball court? She's a grand player, just ask her teammates about that! And then, looking at Vera Mae, you kpow that gentlemen prefer blondes.

Vice-president of Senior Class. Sarah, better known as HUmpyH, probably has more friends than any other girl in school. President of the Athletic Association and Vice-president of the Hi-Y proves that she's really got plenty of what it takes. She's the go-getter type with oodles of surplus energy and a genuine friendliness that's hard to beat. IRA WARD- FootballC2,3,4Dg Sports ClubC2,3Dg BaseballC4Dg 4-H Clubfvice- presidentC4Dg Student CouneilC4D. Ira is one of those quiet, dependable people that our class is so lucky to have. He is an outstanding football player and a member of the Student Council. He's known as HUncle Dollyn because he's so neat and immaculate. No one can dispute his title of being one of the best sports in school. MARTHA wsss- S Hi-YC5,4Dg Library ClubC2Dg Home EconomicsQ2J P366 12 , r . X W 3 i N i . . X x . V ,L X.. - .

T It took us seven years, but one day people called us, HFreshmQnH We pretended not to hear. During that first day there was a great deal of excite- ment. Everyone was saying, HStudent Councilu. We acted wise but didn't really know what it was all about until after we had wash- ed blackboards after school to work off Hdemeritsn. But we survived that 'ear, retaining now only the more pleasant memories which occur strangely in pairs: Miss Penny and Prepositionsg Miss CLatinJ Lawson and Amog and Dr. Howard and a hearty laugh. Thus we moved our first year. No more, no less active than the usual group of freshmen. ' Then there was a summer through which we stretched and yawned , And continued to do so in September until l954 when wc got used to being . h D Qgphomores . - It was then that we get'bur first taste of class organ- ization. And we must have found it profitable, for we insisted on making it a precedent. Our accomplishments this year were generously punctu- ated with geometrical figures and Latin idioms. ' Before our Sophomore year had recedod too far in the past, we found ourselves back in school. And on the top of our schedule cards, we read in significant print Juniors And it was as such that we moved into the new high school building. For classroom highlights at that year, our nomination WCFG Mr. Munch and his Mathematical Metaphors and Cagainl Miss Penny and her Pain over Pune. Then it can't be overlooked that our Junior-Senior Dance was decidedly above average. It was during this year that our interests in athletics and other extra-curricula activities securely took root. And we cultivated them over a joyous summer, so that when we were finally acknowledged as Eseleie the first thing we did was to take the lead in the or- ganization of the Student Activities Union. '- T With the success of that behind us Cand the experience obtained during our freshman yearjwe organized a Student Council, like its predecessor only in nameg of which one of us was the first president. The year passed on bringing outstanding success and praise to ds through scholarship, sporummnship and showmanship As a group, success has been our key word. As individu- als, may it be the same. For now all is over and we are Graduates l page 15 mann-ng. ' ..-. -.. --., ., ....v..-.....-.... X 'X .R A X -A X 45. 'I' H ,NN XX Tx be X71 3 1 -xx ff MN, .

Out of the dim magic past into the brilliant light of today comes this perfected machanism. It is a machine that delves into the past and reproduces actions- with pictures- of long ages This wire hooks into the switch and the electricity speeds along this piece, hops this one, blows up the inside of this tunnel, trucks up a blue breeze here, Suzy-Qs down this way, and finally comes to this wire hooked to my wrist, shocks meg and that is my signal to start. As I turn the switch the dust of the dead take up their weary forms and rise again to thrill the modern world with medi- evil splendour and glamour. ' we find ourselves in Merry ,Old England where we see crossing the courtyard of Windsor Castle Sir Walter Groseclose Raleigh who is graciously spreading his cloak for Her Majesty, Queen Mary Elizabeth Munch. Johnsie Cleopatra Eason, gliding on her flower-bedeckcd barge along the Nile, is being pursued by Eric Warren Mengal the Red. Now we find on the high seas Loren Bluebeard MacKinney pacing the deck of his pirate ship followed by his seven wives: his most devoted wife, blonde Edna Leggett, tall brunette Kath- leen Glenn, short blackhaired Virginia Grovesg round redhcaded Hilda Stern, gay good-natured Thelma Hornerg and cross-patch Dell Bush who has trainbearers to keep her hair from tripping her. At Waterloo we find Patrick Napoleon Winston heatcdly arguing with his wife Julia Josephine Booker who is sittingon top of a cannon. The question it seems is HTo be or not to ben. Craig Robin Heed Phillips followed by the ever-faithful Little John MacCauley, keeps shooting arrows at the Sheriff of Nottingham. x Marie Jane Antionctte Knight sits sedately tithe throne room of her palace chewing her nails, and casting glances at her kingly husband Myron Louis XIV who is snoring with gusto. Mary Frances Helen Oakley of Troy is being carried off in the still of the night by Hoyle Romeo MacBane. f Jo Johnston, the Maid of Salem, is being hung by her flowing tresses for witchery.

The grumbling ill-tempered heavens Drew their dark brows together And fretted in ugly discontent, ' While the impending storm withheld itself On the brink of the sky with threatening gestures Like d bed-mannered child With ite tongue weggling from petulunt lips.

With Roy Strowd, rising senior, as editor, the Precon- lgn had the most successful year in its eight year history. Not only did it publish thirty issues regularly, but also a printed issue for the last edition. As a weekly mimeographed high school paper, the froconign continued to rank among the best papers of its kind in the state. Those whose work merited pins at the end of the year were Roy Strowd, editor-in-chief, Hunt Hobbs, assoc- iate editor, Jane Knight, business manager: Reid Cheek, managing editor, Noelie Cox, news-editor, and Mary ,Bernard,Miriam Buice, Frances Bason, Margaret Piekard, Julia Booker, and Mr. Ross, the faculty advisor. The newly 0rganiz,ea Ti2i'5a, under the able -direction of David Bennett, has been very successful since its beginning nine months ago. It received the highest possible rating of its class in the State Music Contest at Greensboro this year. Mr. Bennett's cohorts were not lacking in individual talent as Truett Bennett, Allen Garrett, Richard Bradshaw,and Reynolds Privette took honors in instrumental solos. The woodwind ensemble, composed of Baylor Hennigor, Winfield Rose, Allen Garrett, and Truett Bennett, also rated. In addition to this, the band has given two concerts for the publia which were enthusiastically received. The band has a promising future ate this year. Vieing since only two of its thirty-four members gradu- ,QLER CLQ5 for honors in music with the band was the Glee Club which took great strides forward in'57-'58. With Mr. Temple- ton as the director, the club gave two chapel programs and a con- cert. But the club's big achievement came in the State Music Con- test at Durham and Greensboro. At' Durham, Chapel Hill took top honors, and at Greensboro, was second only to Roanoke Rapids. All the chorusesfmixed, boy's, girl'sD ranked highly as did the solo- istsCJohnsie Bason, Loren MacKinney, Frank Groseclose, Thomas Od- umb and the girl's trio. At the and Edna Leggett retary-treaeuren were enrolled in DEifWi+i.T I Q., ,C LU 5. beginning of the year Hilda Stern, Reid Cheek, were elected president, vice-president, and sec- respectively. Many of the outstanding students the club and prospects were bright. The first a- chievement was in cooperation with the Student Activities Union. A HDramatic Cargon of three one-act plays was presented before an enthusiastic audience. The plays, HMerridew's Right Handn, NWur- page 22 SENIOR LIFE '38 zel-Flummeryn, and Hlawd, Does You Understand?H were well-acted. The actors in the first play were Eugene MacCauley, .Dell Bush, Craig Phillips, and Mollie Holmes. In the second cast were Loren MacKinney,Pat Winston, Julia Booker, Frank Horner. Leads in the last play were acted Cheek, and Mary Bernard.The success of the I TI Groseclose, and Thelma by Hilda Stern, Reid e plays was due large- ly to Mr. Farrar who not only directed two of them but also sup- ervised the making of the new scenery and the final complicated works of preparing the stage for acting. Much time was spent by him,and not only the club but the whole school is indebted to him. Although the senior playHShe Stoops to Conquern was not an activity of the Dramatic Club, all the loads were.played by members: Reid Cheek, Dell Bush, Frank Groseclose, Julia Booker, Loren Machinney, Hilda Stern, and T.C. Farrell. This play was a huge success and made 3132, which is fifty dollars more t an any other senior play has made in the history of the school, ' f f 1 AUVXTCNS ' ' .THEhlhl:lti9?Q E sell .,., As in the past few roars the high school maintained its honor clubs, the four HieYS, throughout the pest year. Members of 1 these clubs have all been outstanding in both curricula and ex- tra-curricula activities in the school. nach club cooperated with the faculty in accomplishing. various ,improvements in and around the school. The two senior HLMXS sent delegates to their respect- .L- ive conferonces. Money raised from different sources was donated to the Welfare Department in addition to the food and toys given at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Warren Mengal and Sarah Umstead held the offices of president for the Senior boy's and girl's Hi- Y Clubsg while Billy Thompson and Carol Cobb helf the highest offices in the Junior Hi-Ts. STUDENT COUNCIL A . . For better relationfnbctwtta faculty and students' for an efficient oroanization to be in ch Lat ofvnctivities' for a t- - .. .. . . 1 .t-.., ,JJ I . . ,roup of good ledders to study SCDUCl problems and how to solve ghpmg for carrying on relations with other schools,.for these and 0veU+ purposes- a Student Council was formed. This is the second venture of its kind and new promises to be a successful one. The Council consisted of a president, tvice-president, secretary and treasurer, along with a representative 'rom each class and home- room. This year's president, Pat Winston, with his committees and assistants including Roy Strowdfvice-'residentj, Mary Martha Cobb Csecretaryj, and Hunt Hobbsftreasurer , carried out titer duties very nicely. Much of the success of the Council was made possible through the efforts of Mr. Conrad who worked faithfully with it. STUDENT ACTIVITIES UNION Another advancement, startEd'twoTy6ars ago by Melville Jordan, beenmc effective this year much to the joy of the Senior Class members. This was the forming of a Student Activities Union by which the Athletics Dramatics, and the HProconianH were put under surer financial backing Cver two-thirds of the school aid a dollar in return for which they received a Union card admitting them to all athletic contests, productions of the Dramatic Club, . --1 'g neue da SENIOR LIFE '38 and a year's subscription to the school paper. The money was al- loted to these activities proportionately. This plan proved very successful and by all means should be continued next year. CLUBS, OBGANTZED THIS, PAST ,YEAH , The 4-H Clubs have gotten the best start of the new or- ganizations. Under the presidency of Coy Durham the boys have be- gun work on the study of farming products and planting crops. The girls with Louise Crawford as president,have been studying health this past year. Next year with the new equipment in the Home Ec- onomics Room, the 4-H Club girls plan to learn to cook and sew. For those interes ed in Speech and Dramatic Art, Mrs. Schinhan offered direction in a special course. Mrs. Breckenridge started a club for the girls who were interested in learning how to knit. Mrs. Adams was head of the Handicraft Club that was open only to boys. This organization in- cluded instruction in weaving, making pottery, and wood-carving. ,Mrs. Swalin started an Art Club for boys and girls in- terested in painting and drawing. Although this club had only a few beginners, it promises to be an important outside activity for next year beacuse the school has already purchased some ren prints of famous paintings to start an art collection. The Sports Club with James Hearn at the head has used its regular meeting period as one in which to either learn or play various games that the school equipment offers. .fiT.Pl,lfl'T I C? L ,iF.Os0s1t'B!iLsI+ Facing a very difficult schedule considering the mater- ial on hand, Coach Nettles nevertheless molded a team that made a much better showing than some of the scores indicate. Consistent stars for the Zephyrs were MaeKinney and Jacksonfendslg Farrell, Perry, and Ward Cbacksjg Canada and Captain Sloanftacklesbg and Winstonfcenterb. The season's record is as follows, Chapel Hill, C551-E.K.PoweCCDg C.H.C57D-Bethel 'HillCODg C.H.C6D-HillsboroCl32 C.H.COD-Apexfldlg C.H.COD-HendersonCl4Dg C.H.Cl3D-Winston Salem C3855 C.H.Cl2D-RoxboroCl2D, 'C.H.C7D-Methodist OrphanageC6D. ATHLETTCS: BASKETBALL y The basketball squad was welllbalanced for the '58 sea- son,but due to injuries and other mishaps the team failed to live up to expectations. The highlight of the season was the 39-19 vie tory over Henderson in which the basketball boys really worked well together.The whole season included seven victories and eight defeats. Coaches Barclay and Wright were very valuable aids to their protoges. Those winning monograms were Poythress, Jackson, Mengal, Marks, Hobbsfforwardsbg'MacKinney and HoganCcentersDgKen- field, Perry, and Phillipsfguardsb. Warren Mengal was high scorer for the year with sixty-eight points. sage 24 , ,..-g- . .,.. ,-..-.., ..4.,..,-,..4i.4 -'-- SEHICR LIFE '38 ln the girl's basketball there was plenty of spirit, but in most of the games, the opposition was too strong. The team won only a small minority of the games it played. Gutstanding for Chapel Hill on the girl's team were Captain Pratt, Thrift, W. An- drews, Buice, F.Bason, Johnston, McGuirt, Anderson, and Hearn. ATHLFT1C51a BASEBALL Baseball was resumed as a sport at Chapel Hill but the team, without a coach most of the time, won only two of its games defeating Greedmoor twice,ll-9 and ll-lO. Prospects for next year are much better as only Ira Ward and Captain NacBane graduate. Other stars were Emmett Cheekfch, Homer Lloydlpl, Jacksoni3bD,and Eubanksflbb. ATHLETICSLM TRACK The Zephyrs had 'the bestl two-man track team in the state. Loren MacKinney and Warren Mengal attracted much attention as they gathered honors for their alma mater. In the state meet, they gained 8 and 7 points respectively for fourth place in the state. In a quadrangular meet in Durham, it was 13 andl22respect4 ively for second only to Durham. Truott Bennett also scored fer Chapel Hill in this meet. ln another meet at Durham of the prep- aratory and high schools of the state, ten points were made for sixth place as MacKinney set a new record of l5:3:h1thc high hur- dleS.Mengel scored 8 markers alone in the Civitan Meet at Greens- boro as Mackinney was injured at the time. But most important of all was the fact that both got to the finals in high hurdles of the indoor tracknmet held at Chapel Hill cf all the high schools, prep-schools and freshmen in the universities of the South. Other members of the team just starting in the spring quarter were Far- rell, Nathan, Kenfield, and Edkins. ATHLETICS: ,TENNIS This year's tcnnis'team probably rates as one of the strongest in the school's history. 'The season was not completed when ENIOR LIFE went to press ut chances for a state Champion- ship were not considered at all impossible. Durham, previously bea en 7-2,caught the nctters on an off-eay to win b-4 lor C.H.'s only loss in the first high school meets. Chapel Hill also made good showings in the State and Interscholastic Tourneys as Wins- ton and Hobbs were runners-up in the doubles of the latter tour- nament. Lettermen were Winston, Kenfield, R. Cheek, Phillips, Marks, Zimmerman, Perry,'and Hobbs. A'girl's tennis team was formed this ycarkUrEhrahfUm- stead who was captain and number one on the team.The girls start- ed too late in the year to play many matches, but those who did some good work in practice were Hughes, Johnston, Durham,F.Bason, C. Cobb, and Buice. T pros 25 +V Ai i . S Z JU A v my J I 5 x ' I ,J ,L 5 .
