Football, 1940 Experiencing a fairly good season, the Gieen Phantom grid team gained a third- place standing in the Eastern conference. Coach Bo Farley and Heman Fulkerson’s Greenies won five games, tied one and lost four. Victories were recorded over Windsor, Tarboro, Plymouth, New Bern and Edenton. The tie game was with Roanoke Rapids, while losses were inflicted on the Phantoms by Kinston, Washington, Goldsboro and Elizabeth City. J. B. Kittrell and Paul Scott were placed on several all-conference teams. Scott played guard, while Kittrell held down the quarterback position. (Because of the fact that the cut of the football squad has been misplaced, only part of this year’s squad can be shown.) Seniors graduating this year are Larry James, end; J. B. Kittrell, Jr., blocking back; Paul Scott, guard; John Collins, end; Sidney Johnson, guard; Edwin Clark, tailback; Dewey Page, fullback; Paul Britt, guard.

Girls ' Basketball Because of the larpre number of g’irls interested in basketball, Coach Mary Shaw Robeson found it im- possible to practice all of them, so they were practiced in shifts. This plan proved to be very successful, considering that it was the first trial. The first string, with the exception of one player, will graduate this spring. They are Betty Tyson, Joy Flanagan, Peggy West, Lib Wells, Doris Roberts and Marguerite Hud- son. Athletic Council The two-year-old athletic council has proved its worth in arousing- school spirit, handling all finances connected with sports and promoting better sportmanship in G. H. S. It sponsored the second annual awards night at which time all athletes were honored and a speech was made by Wallace Wade, head football coach at Duke university. The council is now a vital part of the school organization. Junior High Basketball The 1941 Junior high cagers, coach- ed by Ileman Fulkerson, proved to be one of the best junior teams in recent years. Wctories were register- ed over Washington, Goldsboro, Wil- son, Roanoke Rapids, Kinston, twice, and Ayden “B” team twice. The losse were to Durham twice, Wilson. Goldsboro and Washington.
