In our minds we dwell on things which are highly improbable. Sometimes, however, these fancies materialize—the Whirligig is an example: our stadium and new Alma Mater are examples—therefore we chose dreams as a theme for the first issue. We do not plan to stop dreaming. Who knows what more we might accomplish ? After the theme was chosen, our next problem was finding a name for our dream-come-true. The staff asked for help by holding a contest. From all the suggestions made by the interested student body we decided upon Whirligig as the perfect name. Our athletic teams are called the Whirlwinds; moreover, O’Henry, a favorite son of Greensboro, wrote a book entitled Whirligigs. When we consulted Webster for a definition of whirligig”, we found it to mean anything which rotates from a pivot, and Greensboro is the Pivot of the Piedmont. We are delighted to have hit upon Whirligig, a title so appropriate and attractive.

Through the last two decades we have lacked many things here at Greensbbro High School, some of which are still needed to nourish the growth of our school; but never, not even in the disrupted years of depression and war, have we lacked a responsible leader. With all the gratitude of which we, the students, are capable, we dedicate this first issue of the Whirligig to our industrious principal, Mr. A. P. Routh. It is he who, although he has chosen to remain in the background, played a large part in making the yearbook possible. He has concerned himself, however, not only with school spirit and the welfare of the students but also is prominent in all worth while civic and community affairs. Perhaps part of the credit for his success can be attributed to his charming wife and the happy home which they enjoy. By this dedication we wish to proclaim our appreciation of our good fortune.

These few worked with zeal, although they realized that it was too late to see the dream come true that year. A group of students asked the Merchants’ Association for permission to solicit advertising. Although unable to grant this request, the Merchants’ Association suggested a plan of sponsorship, which was later adopted. In connection with this, the Class Day program last year was entitled, prophetically, This is the Annual, Mr. Routh.’’ The Senior Class included twenty-three gold star wearers. As in former years, superlatives were chosen, and the May Queen came from the Seniors. One of the highlights of the year was the trip to Washington, D. C. Complete with Confederate flags, the members invaded the national capital for the yearly sightseeing tour. The class worked under the direction of Miss Estelle Mitchell as faculty advisor. 16 TREVA ELIZABETH ADAMS W. C. U. N. C.

Class of 19t)0 Each new class seems to bring new ideas. Our class of 19 0, in its Junior year, started the plan of having projects for the three classes. The Juniors took the job of choosing marshals for the Commencement Exercises and inaugurating a clean-up campaign. A committee monthly graded the various homerooms. The grand winner for the year was awarded a five dollar prize. This year the Seniors have taken charge of selling tickets for the Senior play, planting shrubbery around the new stadium, and presenting the Christmas pageant. Miss Ida Belle Moore was the hard-working and patient advisor. 31 i mi Steve Agapion Student Council 2. 3, 4; Class President 2. 3, Representative 4: Assistant Traffic Chief 4; Best Citizen 4; Key Club 3, 4; If hirligig Staff 4; Basketball 2, 3, 4; Tennis 2, 4.

Class of 1951 This was our Junior year. Little time was lost in getting the new year underway. We began by electing our class officers in the spring of 1949- Our council meet¬ ings were held every Wednesday. Blue and gold were chosen as class colors. In the two years that we have attended Greensboro Senior High School, we have continuously worked on projects which might benefit and aid in the improvement of our school. Our Sophomore year began with a School of Honor Campaign and closed with the Sophomore Talent Show. This year was highlighted by a Clean-up Campaign. Throughout the year we worked on other projects, some of which were the presentation of the Thanksgiving program, the selling of tickets for the Dramatics Club play, and the conducting of the Junior Forum. We have had our serious moments and our fun, and now that we have reached the two-thirds mark in our journey through Senior High School, we are looking forward to the year that will climax them all. 69 Margaret Lee Allen Harold Eugene Alton Lyndon Ulysses Anthony Jacqueline Aulbert Eva Maureen Barham Jeter Olive Barker, Jr. Ralph Wilbur Barnes, Jr. Dara Lee Basinger Iris June Basinger Bill Bass Alice Marie Bass Louis Bates Lacy Gilmer Baynes Richard Douglas Beard Dennis Watson Bell Henrietta Bell John Knox Bell Betty Jo Benfield Barbara Louise Beroth Peggy Ann Boggs Sallie Cook Boren Ina Fern Bouyer Harold John Bradley Shirley Florence Brincefield Andrew Thomas Bristow Carl Lee Brooks Bobby Craig Brown Jeannette Ramona Brown James Lawson Bryan John Herbert Buckner Betty lone Bulla Minnie Mozelle Bulla Nancy Carol Bulla Rita Ann Bumgarner Thomas Fredrick Burchett Lila Catherine Burgess Connie Mack Butler Dorothy Jean Calhoun Kenneth Barry Callender Richard Lee Campbell 70 Marianne Carson Barbara Lee Cashwell Mary Josephine Caudle Milzie Elizabeth Chambers John Anthony Clark Floyd Garland Coble James Dale Cockman Carolyn Dawn Coleman Robert Lee Collins James Allen Collins Charlotte Twine Collson Charles Ray Comer William Ernest Comer George Ivey Cornwell Charles Wilbur Covert, Jr. Irwin Millard Covert James Allen Covert Kathryn Joyce Covington James Gregory Cox, Jr. Mary Jean Cox Thomas Howard Sherman Cox Marie Alma Craven Barbara Anne Crow Billy Lee Crowder Constance Winifred Curry Gwendolyn Curtis Harriet Jane Dabbs Evelyn George Dermatas Robert James Dever, Jr. Oneata Cozette Draffin Bryon Lewis Edmondson Barbara Jane Edwards Lola Marie Edwards Shirley Marie Edwards Robert Wayne Egbert William Whitney Eller, Jr. John David Ellington Robert Nease Enochs Joann Merita Ensley Betty Jo Everhart 71 Patsy Dale I ' argis lack Lewis Fields Rosalind Page Fordham Sarah Katherine Foster Oma Gray Foushee Marga ret Louise Fowler David Lee Frank Joseph Franklin Freeman, Jr. Luther Graham French, Jr. Anna Jean Frye Harold Dean Garner James McFerrin Fulton Royce Ronald Garrett Jean Garrity Terryodiene Gaulden Sandra Ann Giles Jacqueline Ann Gilmore Jerry Daniel Goldstein Lucy Janet Greene Nancy Faye Greene Phyllis Law Greer Helen Maxine Gregory Merlene Gregory Rachel Helen Grogan Barbara Jean Hackney Charles Marvin Hall Charles William Hanner Charles Harden Patricia Ruth Hawkins Martha Louise Haynes Fred Lee Heath focelyn Ann Herron Marion Erwin Hines Jerry Loyd Hinshaw Cathrine Anne Hodge Betty Emeline Hodgin Fannie Ellen Holt Helen Catherine Holt Agnes Jean Hooper Elton Hough 72 Thelma Ray House Thomas Eugene Hubert Gloria Marlene Hudson Mary Jeanette Hudson Jack Nathaniel Hurd Barbara Ann Hutton Carleta Ann Iddings June Clyde Idol John Lafayette Irvin Henry Harris Isaacson Glenn Russell Isley Lalah Perkins Isley Earl Eugene Jarrett Mary Beatrice Jarvis William Worth |arvis Letha Mae Jennings Ann Phillips Johnson Doris Maxine Johnson Mary Ann Johnson William Roderick Johnson Betty Bonner Jones Frederick Thomas Jones Norma Eleanor Jones Mary Corinne Kale Sarah Elizabeth Kellam Robert Glenn Kennerly Marilyn Ann Kersey Robert C.

Class of 1952 Although the Class of ’52 is the newest in our school, it has gotten into the swing of things early and has proven to be a hard-working and spirited group. The big project for the year was G. H. S., School of Courtesy.” An assembly program was presented on this subject, posters appeared in the halls, and re¬ minders were given over the public address system. The group emphasized all phases of courtesy which should be practiced in the cafeteria, classes, halls, and at sports events. Miss Virginia Powell led the class through a smooth first year, and upperclassmen will feel secure when they leave the school in the capable hands of the class of 1952. 81 Virginia Abbott Charles Adams Arnold Alberty Bain Alexander Dennis Alley Rebecca Amos Mitchell Andrew Archie Andrews Robert Andrews Edna Apple Sue Apple Arden Ashlej Eli Attayek Jan Austin Janice Aydelette Fred Ayers Charles Baker Cynthia Baker Larry Barber Dillard Bass Larry Bateman Dayid Baxter Betty Lou Beal Peggy Ann Beale Lawrence Beall Carolyn Beaver Nancy Beeson Betty Bell Billie Bell Mary Edith Bell Bryant Bennett Jimmy Betts Nancy Birgel Jeanetta Bishop Ray Blake Julia Blanchard Katherine Bobbit Peggy Bolick Bill Bost Mary Boyd Jimmy Brady Tharon Brady Dewey Lee Brewer Helen Brewer Benjamin Brigman Joanne Brigman Doris Britt Ruby Britt Billie Brown David Brown Ernest Brown George Brown Jesse Brown Richard Brown 32 Bob Bruce Leon Bryant Thomas Bryson John Buchanan Billy Bulla Larry Bumgarner Hazel Burkhead Moody Burt Jewelle Burton Lucinda Callaway Beverly Campbell B.

Its contributions have been along the lines of social development, promotion of school spirit, training in leadership and citizenship, maintenance of high scholarship standards, and fostering of closer cooperation between students and faculty. Among the numerous activities which the Student Council spon¬ sored this year were the school dances, May Day, the elections, Social Standards Day, and Homecoming Day. The advisor for this group is Miss Dorothy McNairy. Miss Dorothy McNairy Advisor 97 GI MO Carolyn Birgel, associate editor, day-dreaming: of May 20—delivery date of the Whirligig . Thatcher Townsend—“And an¬ other copy sheet bites the dust.” We beg you, dear reader, to handle this treasured book with all the tenderness in your keeping. Here are our dreams realiz¬ ed. This book is factual in many ways— it had to be. We wanted you to see into every cranny and corner of your school- home. All juniors and seniors had become ac¬ customed to the battle cry for a year¬ book. It was the campaign promise of 98 many worthy candidates for office—way back further than Doug Hunt in 1941 and more recently, Ted Leonard. Always there was the promise, I will do all in my power to get an annual.” Of course, in any cause much groundwork must be done before—well, Bob Carlson did it. ' ' Big Bob”, with sleeves pushed up, persisted and persisted until late in the spring of 1949 we got it. We interviewed engravers, printers, and photographers. Nothing but the best,” we said. The book must come out before school ends.” We must have Mrs. LeGwin, advisor, looks forward lo an All-Ain riran rating. 99 Top: Birgel and Upchurch make big plans • Center: Lining lends John a hand with one of those “pestiferous” soph panels • Bottom: Art Editor Bert Wade (center) and Bill Crawford, assistant, docilely take a little “driving” from Mrs. LeGwin.

We had our fun at times: Fred the Head ; Birgel behind bars”; John paste ' em up” Colson; Thatch incessantly typing, punctuating each sentence with a joke; Edwin with his pitiful plea, Come on.

You’ll believe that when we tell you that not one single thing was rejected by our engraver or printer, and that our dead lines were met in plenty of time. 100 ASSISTANTS —First How (left to right): Barbara Blaylock, Anne While, Sue Ptirdom, Nancy Birgel, Anne Wrenn • Second How: Rebecca Frazier, Belly Mitchell, Rowland Wissenian, Dick Patterson, Tommy Fesperman • Absent: Elinor Wrenn, photography editor. 101 HIGH LIFE STAFF (left to right): IVlr.

Orchestra - During the past eight years the orchestra has grown in size and ability, until now it is one of the best balanced school orchestras in the South. The orchestra plays for assemblies, pageants, and the radio. Small groups also play for church services, civic clubs, and for radio and television. Members of the orches¬ tra participate in All-State Orchestra clinic and the full orchestra plays in the State Music Contest each year, consistently receiving a high rating. Many members have been select¬ ed to play in the All-Southern Orchestra, which has included trips to Birmingham, Alabama, and Tampa, Florida. This year a group was selected to play in the All-State Orchestra when it performed for the Music Educators National Conference, which met in St. Louis. Each year the orchestra joins with Miss Tuttle and the vocal groups in the staging and presentation of their operetta. Many former members are continuing musical activities in college, where they are achieving outstanding records. Left: We practice to perform.

Advised by Mr. Bruce Peabody and Mr. Gay Hensley, the club has carried out its purpose of serving the school, building better citizens, and developing leadership. The club holds a supper meeting each Thurs¬ day night at the Y. M. C. A. The main service project of the year was the publication of a student directory. Other projects included the selling of drinks at football games and the decorating of a Christmas tree for the main hall.

When the Monogram Club was organized in the spring of 1949, Greensboro High School had lacked an organization of this nature for many years. Athletic Director Bob Jamieson serves as the club’s advisor. All boys who have earned a varsity letter in any sport are eligible for membership. Weekly meetings are held as the group strives to promote better school spirit, good sportsmanship by both fans and players, and better friendship between the boys participating in varied sports. These boys would feel more al home on the basketball court than on the dance door. Members and their dates at the club’s annual dance. The smiling gentleman on the left is Coach Wcddie Huffman.

Showing their new split T” formation for the first time, Greensboro eked out a 13-12 victory over Wilmington. The East¬ erners scored first, but the Whirlies came back in the second period as Joe Attayek went twenty-three yards in three plays to tie the score 6-6. Greensboro went ahead for good in the third quarter when Tiny Burtner scored the second Whirlie touch¬ down. Bo York kicked the winning extra point.

UUhirlies edge Wilmington 13-12 Joe Attayek, Greensboro’s All-State fullback, drives over for the Whirlies’ first score of year behind the blocking of guard Rob Ilighfill (32). 139 The dreams and works of thousands of Greensboro citizens were finally realized and rewarded when our new 10,000 seat stadium was dedicated by a rousing 19-0 victory over highly regarded Raleigh. There was never any doubt as to the outcome; Greensboro scored early and never allowed Raleigh to threaten. The visitors could make only sixteen net yards rushing. The Whirlies’ three TD ' s were made by E. N. Hale, Joe Attayek, and Bobby Enochs. Mr. Edward Hudgins helps dedicate our new stadium. In the background are Mr. William Holderness and Mr. Caesar Cone.

This time the Rocky Mount Blackbirds were the victims. The Whirlies scored the first time they got their hands on the ball and again in the third period on a fifty-seven yard pass play from E. N. Hale to Tiny Burtner. Charlotte tops Greensboro 19-7 Following Charlotte ' s second touchdown, E. N. Hale took the kickoff and raced seventy-seven yards to the Charlotte twenty-two. On the next play, Rodney Harrelson twisted his way to paydirt. This was the only bright spot for Greensboro as a big, rough Wildcat team severely jolted our hopes for the conference title.

Green Wave bows to Whirlwind 7-0 In a game much more one-sided than the score indicates, Greensboro threatened many times but could score only once in winning over a stubborn Gastonia team. E. N. Hale sneaked over for the game’s only tally late in the first period, climaxing a sustained drive of eighty yards. Lindy Brown made a sensational catch of Hale’s pass for the extra point.

Bobby Enochs ran through and around the previously undefeated Maroons to score three touchdowns. Clint LcGette scored Greensboro ' s final TD on a quarterback sneak. Reynolds uses breaks to win thriller 19-13 Reynolds scored two quick TD ' s. Joe Attayek grabbed a Reynolds pass, raced seventy-five yards for a touchdown, and later scored another to tie the score at 13-13. Reynolds capitalized on breaks to score the winning touchdown. Golden Lions tie UUhirlies 7-7 In the first period Bobby Enochs scooted twenty-seven yards to paydirt. A few minutes later the Reidsville Golden Lions passed their way across the goal line and tied the score 7-7. For the remaining three periods the two teams battled on even terms. The Whirlies threatened late in the fourth quarter, but their hopes were crushed by a costly penalty. Salisbury blocks punts to win 25-7 On a rain soaked field Salisbury blocked four Greensboro punts and scored after each one. Greensboro’s touchdown came in the final quarter when Joe Attayek passed to E. N. Hale. Hale made the catch on the Salisbury forty and went all the way. Left: E. IN.

UUhirlies topple High Point 6-0 The first half was a terrific battle between two lines, and neither team was able to score. Early in the third quarter Joe Attayek inter¬ cepted a Bison pass near midfield and raced to paydirt. The Whirlies drove fifty yards to the High Point one, and eighty-five yards to the ten, but a fumble and a penalty spoiled their scoring opportunities. A stout Whirlie line held the Bison offense in check through¬ out the game. Top: Coach Jamieson gives last minute in¬ structions to his starting eleven.

The Burlington backs rolled up yardage through the middle and around the ends as the Whirlie line was ripped to shreds by the hard-charging forward wall of the Bulldogs. Greensboro’s lone touch¬ down came on a spectacular fifty-six yard punt return by Bobby Enochs.

The visitors from south of the border were outclassed, but they showed great spirit and fought gamely until the final whistle. Rodney Harrelson scored the first Greensboro touchdown, and Bobby Enochs and Joe Attayek each tallied twice. Enochs’ first TD came on a seventy-nine yard run using the Statue of Liberty play.

Basketball Four starters returned from the forty-nine cage squad to give Coach Jamieson a good foundation on which to build a winning team. These four—Lindy Brown, Bill Campbell, Doug Kincaid, and Bill Jarvis—combined with Jack Thomas to form the first team. In early season games the Whirlies looked im¬ pressive, and hopes for a championship team ran high. Grover Minor, Bob Kennerly, Pete Hall, and Connie Butler showed promise of developing into fine players. Early Season Results Greensboro 46 . . Reidsville 30 Greensboro 58 .... .

Finis . . . The 1950 Whirligig is completed. The last proofs have been received from the engraver; the last copy has been typed; the last advertisements have been collected. As we look back over the period of long, hard work, we are reminded of those who have made this book possible. At this time it is fitting that we express our appreciation: First, there is Mr. Routh, our principal, who was unceasing in his efforts to make this book possible; then, Mrs. LeGwin, who so patiently guided us from the time that this annual was only an idea until it became a reality. We should like to thank Mr. John E. Clark of Jahn and Ollier Engraving Company and Mr. Frank M. Fleming of the Lassiter Press for their excellent service and advice. From the first glance, the fine quality of the photography in this book is noticeable. For this we should like to thank Mr. Carol W. Martin and Mr. Malcolm Miller of Martin’s Studio, and Mrs. Betty McClure of Meyer’s Studio and her staff. From the very beginning, the citizens and business interests of Greens¬ boro have given us their wholehearted cooperation. Without the support of these sponsors and advertisers, the publication of this book would have been impossible. Last, but certainly not least, we should like to thank the members of our staff. All did much to help, but a few merit special recognition. Carolyn Birgel and John Colson, our chief assistants, were indefatigable; much credit is due them. Nancy Benson, Edwin Boyd, and Thatcher Townsend worked long and tirelessly to prepare the many pages of copy necessary. We praise also Carole Williams and Rebecca Frazier, cheerful and willing; and Barbara Blaylock, efficient and dependable. To you, our readers—the faculty and students of Greensboro High School—many thanks for your cooperation. Fred and Lining 174 Sponsors . . . Rdvertising 175 Sponsors Mr. E. Frank Andrews Mr. Robert H.

It was quite a year. That same year in Burlington, North Carolina, workmen were clearing a nearby cornfield to build a small textile mill. Some local businessmen were risking their money in a bedspread manufacturing venture. That was the beginning of Burlington Mills, a company destined to play a leading role in the rise of man-made yarn from obscurity to a place of major importance in textiles. During the past 25 years Burlington Mills has grown from one small mill at Burlington into one of the world ' s largest producers of rayon fabrics. It now has 74 plants in six states and four foreign countries employing over 27,000 people. Teamwork between management and skilled, loyal em¬ ployees made Burlington Mills a textile leader. Teamwork also produced the highest quality textile products at the lowest possible cost. Th is successful formula was possible because American free enterprise permitted constant improvements in mate¬ rials and machinery, development of our human resources, better methods of production, and an incentive for progress and growth. The formula brought better quality fabrics to the consumer. It brought better jobs, higher pay, increased benefits, and excellent working conditions to employees. And so, 25 years after, Burlington Mills wears a badge of success. Its multitude of products are truly Woven Into the Life of America . Sales Offices: New York. N. Y. Executiue Offices-.
