W endell HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SEASON The boys enjoyed one of the best seasons in the history of the school in winning 21 games while they lost only 5. Eleven of these games came in a row without a d-efeat. The team finished second iii county competition based on the entire season's P ay- Rufus Hinton, acting captain of the team, was the leader of our team. Although he was not ,the high scorer for the season, he could score when the going was tough. Red Davis led the scoring and when he was on he was hard to stop. M. A. Narron, who was second in scoring, was very valuable because of his height. He took many balls off both backboards. Milton Nowell, who was very flashy, showed up well at times. His game against Meadow in the county tourney was one of the best turned in by anyone during the whole year. The high spot of the year was our winning the Gold Leaf tourney at Wendell. We defeated Mid- dlesex, Garner and Wendell to carry away the trophy. Lady Luck deserted us in the tournament at Smithfield. M. A., Rufus and Claudius couldn't get going because of colds and we lost to Meadow, a team which most of us were sure that we could beat under other conditions. The best game of the season was the one against Four Oaks here. They defeated us by the score of 31-29 after we had led them for most of the game. The game was lost in th-e last minute. With two seconds to go Rufus took a shot which barely missed, which would have tied up the ball game. The lead in the county standings was lost in that game and Four Oaks went on to finish out in front and also win the tourney by a big margin. Milton Nowell and Red Davis are being lost to the team by graduation, but all of the other squad members ar-e returning. With some good material coming up from the seventh grade and three regu- lars back from this year's team, we should have another good team next year. Let's look forward to a championship team next year. .Hs EcHoEs pogen Joi-msrow couNTY HERITAGECENTER SMITHFIELD, N,C,

Mildred Dean, Mable Nor- don Godwin, Lessie Hocutt, Geneva Woodard, Qwho is now First Mate Wilderl Clara M. Pigg, and LaVerna Langston twho is now First Mate Brittl. Lt. Mable Nordon Godwin proved such an able seaman that we kept her for a long time. About this time we also took on a new sailor, Elizabeth Gibbs. The final suggestions for going on deck were given by Second Mate Ruth Cunningham, and Lt. Annie Lee Hawkes, fwho is now First Mate Coblel. About this time we decided to leave the sail- ing vessel we were on and embark on a steam- ship. On the last lap of the voyage, on the small sailing vessel, there were 90 members on b-oard. Already 35 had decided not to sail further. Of this 90, 32 saw no reason why they should continue their voyage further. Studying on the deck, 58 of us, with our pass- ports Cseventh grade diplomasb clutched in our hands we were anxiously awaiting the hour when we would go on board the larger ship, which was to carry us many another mile. This journey was not to be a brief one, but one that would extend over a period of four years. Practically all of this time would be spent on the boat except for four months out of each year, during which time the boat would dock in the same interesting and picturesque town so that the passengers might visit the sur- rounding country. On our voyage on this strange and unknown body of water, we were to face greater problems than had ever before confronted us. The time finally came for us to embark. We climbed the gang plank and were greeted at the top by her worthy skipper, Captain E. C. Cunningham, who welcomed us and instructed the sailors, Ruby K. Isley, sponsor and Lts. Williamson, Holland, and Paine to show us the boat. When the gang plank was taken up and anchor weighed, we sought our staterooms to unpack and become more familiar with our surroundings. It seemed that only one of our crew became sea sick and left the ship. We passed through two heavy storms texamsj and encountered minor squalls every four weeks ttestsl. At times it seemed that the boat was destined to be detroyed, but each time she weathered the storm. In the spring of '38 all but one of us succeeded in attaining the first harbor which signified that one-fourth of our voyage was finished. For our second voyage we lost Sponsor Ruby K. Isley and Lts. Williamson and Hol- land, who were replaced by Sponsor Charles F. Lewis and Lts. Carlton, Henderson and Richards. For this voyage we again had 58 members, four changes had been made in our class personnel. In the fall of '39 we set sail for the third harbor, this time we lost Lts. Henderson and Paine, who were replaced by Lts. Rogers and H. V. Payne. We had 51 members aboard for this cruise. Nine members had decided to repeat the second voyage or discontinue alto- gether. The new passengers were taken on and their confusion and discomforts amused the older ones very much. The waters were a little rougher this year, so we had to work harder than ever to continue to be good sailors . However, we had learned how to keep from getting sea sick when our ship was rocked by the billows. When our third year on board was ended we reached the third harbor, having suffered very few catastrophes on the journey. For the final cruise we lost Lts. Rogers, Richards and Carlton who were replaced by Lts. Suddarth, Austin, and Hawkes. For this fourth and final cruise, the fall of '40, we left seven of our members to join the crew that came next year. When Ila Mae Reardon was transferred to the ship of matrimony she failed to finish with us, so we had only 41 members for our final cruise. Thus we started our final cruise, the saddest and most exciting of all. This year most of us have been suc- cessful in qualifying for diplomas. The sponsor of the crew, Charles F. Lewis, has proved to be more help than we ever thought any sponsor could be. He has been with us for three years and we wish to state our sincere appreciation to him for his kind- ness and help. Of the 125 who started in the fall of 1930, only 17 have completed the voyage without in- terruption. They were: Laney Grace Fowler, Pauline Richardson, Wilma Ruth Davis, Mary Ellen Driver, Ruby Edwards, Barbara Nell Wilder, Costa Hocutt, Jr., Inez Maiden, Wanda Wilder, Jessie Boykin, Elbert Price, Milton Nowell, Adele Lee, Kathryn Harris, Eugene Barham, Thurman Batchelor and Edna Smith. The remaining C223 either began their voy- age prior to 1930 or have been added later. We have had the usual activities the last week and the end of the memorable voyage will be reached at Sunset when we file down the gang plank and receive diplomas showing we have completed the trip.

Four Oaks Best Team ............ Micro I have really enjoyed playing for the last four HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SEASON Our best game of the year was the one against Garner, last year's champs, in the Gold Leaf tour- ney at Wendell. We won the game by the score of 18-17. . . Wilma Ruth Davis was the hardest fighter on the team. . . Violet Brown made the greatest improvement during the year . . Sallie Rae Moody was the calmest player und-er fire. . . Theo. Glover proved to be a good captain and good leader. . . Linnie Ruth Martin made some of the prettiest baskets of the season. . Ru-D-ene Bell lceld her own with any and all opponents. . . Gladerine Wilder was one of the best defensive guards ever to represent Corinth-Holder on the hardwood. Her play will be greatly missed. . . The subs, Laney Grace Fowler, Omegia Moody, Kathryn Harris and Rosa Lee Congleton, were al- ways willing and ready to do their part. . . We won over half of our games during the year. We averaged 25 points per game while our opponents averaged 23 points per game. THE TEAM'S REACTIONS I enjoyed playing forward this year much bet- ter than as a guard for three years.-Wilma R. Davis I have played my best for four years.-Gladerine Wilder The success we have enjoyed this year is largely due to our coach, Miss Austin.-Ru-Dene Bell I am sorry that most of our team is leaving this year.-Rosa L. Congleton I surely enjoyed this as my first year of bas- ketball.-Violet Brown I am sorry that this is my last year to play, but I have enjoyed every game of the year.-Sallie R. Moody. I have enjoyed my role as captain for the year. --Theo. Glover I have -enjoyed this year of basketball even though I had to sit on the bench most of the time.- Laney G. Fowler I can certainly say that I have enjoyed the last two years of bask-etball.-Omegia Moody The success of a basketball team does not al- ways depend upon the number of games that it wins. Our team this year was a success because it has shown to us the good sportsmanship of which it is comprised. Its loyalty to itself and to the facultv as well as to th-e student body and its attitude in defeat as well as in success has proved to everyone that the girls' basketball team of 1941 individually as well as a team has been a com- plete success.-Vileigh Austin, Coach Pogel2 C.H.H.S.
