, ,..-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

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.
