When those dreams of reviving a Greensboro High School yearbook became a reality, one of the major concerns was the responsibility of faculty adviser. An alumna of our school, as well as a member of its faculty for fourteen years, a descendant of one of Greensboro’s pioneer families, the Mendenhalls, you have been adviser of our pivot organization, the Student Council. Perhaps partly because of your sons, Jimmy ami Jere, who have been students here, you have taken a real interest in individual students and been active in so many, many extra¬ curricular activities outside the countless Biology and Chemistry classes you have taught. Because you are such a vital part of G. H. S. and she is so much a part of you, it was you whom we called upon for this undertaking. We, the student body, could not see another year go by without thanking you from the bottom of our hearts for so willingly and patiently giving of your time, the, literally, thousand or more hours of work outside school time supervising the endless tasks a yearbook requires. 4 5 : ... ' s-i iHLj Foreword [A , ; : : We are proud to present this 1951 Whirligig. Our book represents the half-century of growth that has made our Alma Mater what she is — growth brought about by countless people, organizations, and experi¬ ences. Our book symbolizes all those boundless aspira¬ tions and laborious undertakings which had their beginnings fifty years ago. It is a token of our apprecia¬ tion of our school heritage. . mk .. : „-sP -X : C;!$5W1 .v- IK •! IH eiii ■M School... ool Board, Faculty, and Classes. i hfea. 3SiS 5.V™ Organizations . . .

But how often do we think back through the years of all the planning and work that went into making Senior High what it is today? The Greensboro schools date back even further than 1863, when Eli Carruthers was principal in a little brick building on Sycamore Street. This school was an outgrowth of the old Caldwell Institute, the first of Greensboro’s public schools. The public schools were chartered by the North Carolina State Legislature in 1845. From these earliest schools in Greensboro, an extensive public education system has grown, having its tap roots on Lindsay and Forbis Streets. It was on Forbis Street that the first class graduated from a new and separate department, the high school, in 1900. As we have come from carriages to slick convertibles and from bustles to ballerinas, the high school has also seen astounding changes since that first class. Through the past fifty years our school has been steadily expanding, adding new subjects and creating through its activities and organizations, new outlets for our talents and interests. These play important parts in our develop¬ ment as useful and well-rounded individuals. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED A WIDE PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT As more and more students enrolled in Greensboro High School, the four rooms in the old Catholic Church building on Forbis Street became crowded. The City of Greensboro appropriated 40,000 dollars for building a new school on Spring Street which was completed in 1911. A cafeteria was added in 1919. There developed a need for an even larger high school, completely separate from the lower grades. A plan was proposed for the erection of a junior high school, a senior high school, and a junior college, in separate groups, facing Westover Terrace in consecutive order. In 1927 the million dollar senior high school project was started on the 129-acre tract. During the year 1929 three of the six proposed high school buildings — the main building, the science building, and the cafeteria — were completed; also, supposedly temporary boys’ dressing rooms were erected. The class of 1931 planted the ivy, and a new gymnasium for all students was built in 1933. Until 1934 the auditorium had been without the present murals of industry and trade on the left of the stage and the symbols of the professions on the right About 1935 a combina¬ tion band room and shop gave more space, and with the erection of the present vocational building in 1940, this combination gave to the girls their own separate gym, with the area between this and the boys ' gym modeled into the girls’ shower room. The project for our own high school stadium, started in 1939, was at last completed in 1949- It is one of the finest high school stadiums in the South, with a seating capacity of 10,426. There, the first All-Star game was played in September, 1949, and on that field the present Sigmund Selig Pearl Field House, completed in 1950, was formally dedicated at a football game in the fall of 1950. In the old church building on Forbis Street, the first graduating class of 1900 had Mr. Samuel Smith as principal, and the four teachers instructed the members in their seven subjects. The high school then went through only the ninth grade. Mr. E. D. Broadhurst became principal in 1900 and was succeeded by Mr. W. H. Swift in 1901, under whom the first book rental system and first school library in the state were initiated in 1902. Also the tenth grade was added then. Mr. W. C. Jackson served as principal from 1904 until 1909. When the high school, under the administration of Mr. A. H. King, was moved to Spring Street in 1911, the eleventh grade was added. Greensboro High School, with a faculty of fifteen, became an accredited high school in the fall of 1917, the first of Mr. O. A. Hamilton’s two years. In 1921, the last year of Mr. D. R. Price’s administration, the first city-wide physical education program in the state was introduced at the high school. In 1922 the first instruction in music at Spring Street was under the direction of Mr. Glenn Gildersleve. This was Mr. Guy B. Phillips’ second term as principal. It was under his principalship that our first organized summer school was established in 1924. Mr. Phillips became superintendent of the city schools in 1929 and was succeeded by our present superintendent Mr. Ben L. Smith. Mr. Lee H. Edwards followed Mr. Phillips as principal from 1924 until 1925, and his successor was Mr. C. W. Phillips who continued as principal for eight years. For the first time there was a mid-term graduating class in 1926, and boys were given academic credit for the attainment of Eagle rank in scouting. That year, though public school music was begun in 1900, the first real high school progress in chorus work was made by the or ganization of the first glee club, which originated as a quartet. The following year a permanent band came into its own with Mr. Grady Miller as the first band-master, and classes in speech and dramatics were begun. With the class of 1928, Mr. Earl Slocum established our first orchestra, and the three subjects in advanced mathematics were added. The year 1929 brought the beginning of art, with Miss Henrietta Lee as instructor, full time dramatics, and classes in journalism and creative writing, taught by Miss Marjorie Craig. Shop was organized and set up in the basement the following year. From about 1929 until the depression in 1933, our high school was at its highest peak, with a faculty of sixty and approximately 1,200 students. During the dark days of the depression, the city failed to provide a supplement, and consequently a three year period of eight-months’ school was begun. Mr. E. T. McSwain officiated until Mr. A. P. Routh became our principal in February, 1934. The year after Mr. Routh came, twelve students, who earned no wages, enrolled in the first diversified occupations class in the state, and one of the first two in the South. A year later we began one of the first distributive education classes in North Carolina. The first students in the state to receive credit and to graduate from night- school training finished in 1941. The succeeding year brought to an end the practice of having a mid-term graduating class. Here, too, was the first veterans ' school program in the state, beginning in 1946 and extending until June, 1948. In 1949 we were granted our own broadcasting station, WGPS-FM, operating on ten watts at eighty-nine and nine-tenth megacycles. With this we were once again the pioneers. WE ADDED MANY ATTRACTIONS For forty-eight years, students in the Greensboro High School have been challenged to do their best scholastically in order to achieve recognition through the honor roll. That the class of 1909 might always remember their Alma Mater, they began the Greensboro High yearbook, and Newman I. White was appointed editor. This was a successor to the former and only publication of the high school, a combination newspaper and magazine, The Sage. Always eager to take part, Greensboro High School participated in the first state triangular debate in 1912. High Life, the school newspaper, had Paul Causey as the first editor and Mr. Edgar Woods and Miss Inabelle Coleman as advisers. It was first published September 25, 1920. A year later Miss Jane Summered, a Latin teacher, brought forth the idea that school government placed in the hands of the students would be successful. Lengthy discus¬ sions among the faculty and a student campaign proved the idea acceptable. So in 1922, with Miss Summered as adviser, the first council was elected, and Robert Irving became president. That same year, fixed programs were established for a boys’ and girls ' athletic association. In the fad of 1923, the Civitan Club, with Mr. Guy Phillips as president, first sponsored our system of awarding stars for achieving honor rod. Students who were out¬ standing in qualities of scholarship, leadership, service and character were first honored in 1923, through membership in Torchlight, the new chapter of the National Honor Society. Miss Nita Gressit served as the first adviser. Since High Life was proving so successful, the publishing of a magazine, Home-Spun, was begun in 1925, with Carlton Wilder as the first editor, and under the supervision of Miss Laura Tillett, head of the English de- partment at that time. In 1929 a special day, known as Home-Coming Day, was set aside for all the alumni who so enjoyed returning to Greensboro High School. The next year, representatives from several colleges were invited to attend the first College Day. With 1931 came the first Social Standards Day and the discontinuance of the yearbook. The Reflector. Because of the depres¬ sion, two years later High Life was temporarily discontinued; and the old original Home-Spun, after having won national recognition, succumbed the next fall. High Life was revived in the spring of 1937, while Home-Spun was republished, though modified, for this, its final year. With the spring of 1939 came the crowning of Jean Stafford, our first May Queen. The dramatics association, directed by Miss Lottie Wall, sponsored that and the following ceremony, which was the last before being discontinued during the war years. When our constitution was amended in 1941, we felt that our school was complete except for an organized recreational program. Three rooms were, therefore, set aside specifically for our entertainment; also parties and dances, co-sponsored by the P. T. A. and student council, were scheduled at regular intervals. After World War II, the council revived our May Day. At last, in 1927, the Greensboro Youth Center was established. This gathering place had its inception in the recreation program which had begun at school. At first it was under the direction of Mr, Weddie Huffman. Since it is sponsored by the City, the Center is available to all of Greensboro’s youth. The last class of Greensboro High School ' s first half century heard for the first time our Alma Mater, written by Mr. Herbert Hazelman, the band director, and it saw the installation of a driver’s course. Also, the class of 1950 had efficient Fred Upchurch as editor and patient Mrs. Estelle LeGwin as adviser when they revived our yearbook and changed its name to Whirligig. Thus ended fifty years of obstacles and work, hope, boundless progress, and SUCCESS. Now, this first class of the second half century steps out into the world to take their places among the men and women of America, giving themselves wholeheartedly to the service of their God, their country, and the high ideals of their own Greensboro Senior High School. 5 Mr. Routh is a good friend. Here he is shown in one of his characteristic posi¬ tions — giving over-the-counter advice to one of the many students who come to him for advice. Ours is a versatile principal— he can cook too. Our principal, Mr. A. 1 . Routh, cannot he surpassed in his business abilities either. The Faculty Members who have served as many as twenty years are, first row, left to right: Miss Estelle Mitchell, Mrs. Nellie D. Blackburn, Mr. J. Stanley Johnson, and Mrs. Blanche H. Smith. Second Row: Miss Mary Ellen Blackmon, Mr. A. I . Routh, and Miss Ida Belle Moore. It is only fitting that in a book which traces the history of our school’s first half-century we give special recognition to those faculty members who have given long service to our school. Mrs. Nellie D. Blackburn, present adviser of the senior class, has seen more of these developments than any other member of the faculty, this being her twenty-ninth year at G. H. S. There are many who have served for more than a decade, others, for over two. To these we pay tribute. I Irs. Nellie I). Blaeklmrn 15 Days and months and years do pass As we go from class to class.

This campaign proved useful to the students throughout the year. In a class meeting it was decided that the seniors would make a three-hundred dollar contribution to the Whirligig. This money was raised by sponsoring a movie and by contributions from individual clubs. This year the Christmas Pageant, for which the senior class was entirely responsible, greatly im¬ pressed a quiet and reverent student body. The Class Day Program was the crowning achievement of their year. Class of 195 I 24 Seniors Joseph Basil Alala, Jr. Joe Homeroom Vine-President 2; Homeroom Treasurer 3; Football 3 .

Class of 1952 Bobby Clark President of the Junior Ciass The Class of 1952 has spent a busy year. To help the bewildered sophomores, the Juniors sponsored a Big Brother and Sister Campaign. In November class members gave the annual Thanksgiving Program to the student body. Doing their part in raising money for the Whirligig they sold Christmas cards, spon¬ sored a Bridge Benefit, and headed a Boys’ Beauty Contest. Proceeds from these made up their two-hundred dollar contribution. In service to the school they were responsible for the worthwhile Clean-Up Campaign throughout the year and for the marshals at graduation exercises. 72 Arnold Leo Alberty Robert Bain Alexander, Jr. Dennis Alley Rebecca Ann Amos Archie Glenn Andrews Arden Dana Ashley Eli Pete Attayek Janice Dann Aydelette Frederick Carew Ayers Charles Donald Baker Cynthia LaVerne Baker Larry Reich Barber Frances Anne Barger Larry Nill Bateman John David Baxter Betty Lou Beal Lawrence Lincoln Beall Nancy Carolyn Beaver Barbara Jean Beavers Nancy Ruth Beeson Betty Wesly Bell Billie Mae Bell James Edward Betts Nancy Anne Birgel Jeanetta Ann Bishop Francis Ray Blake Julia Carolyn Blanchard Mary Elizabeth Blundell Katherine Cormilla Bobbitt Kay Marian Bobbitt Peggy Ann Boliek William Eugene Bost James Eugene Brady Henry Kimbrough Brannon Dewey Lee Brewer Margaret Helen Brewer Ruby Lee Britt Janet Anne Brooks Jesse Thomas Brown William Leon Bryant 74 J uniors Frederick Thomas Bryson John West Buchannan William Boyles Bulla Augustus Moody Burt Jewelle Carolyn Burton Beverly Ray Campbell Burton George Campbell, Jr. Clyde Thomas Canter Mary Lou Carswell Marjory Winton Carter Lillian Marylene Cauthren Richard Clark Childress Betty Lucille Clark Robert Walker Clark, Jr. Kathryn Estelle Clegg Betty Ruth Clemmons Eugene Melvin Coble Patsy Louise Coble John William Coleman, Jr. John Fitzgerald Comer Charles Ferrell Cox Lois Jeannette Cox Bennie Franklin Craven, Jr. Aylette Rice Crawford Betty Lou Cresdy Betty Jane Davis Franklin Horace Davis Janet Wilkinson Davis Dorothy Charlton Dillard Gus Constantine Doucas Arthur Eugene Douglas Violet Mae Doyle Henry Brandon Drinkard Patsy Ruth Eanes Louis Byron Edmondson Bertha Louise Edmondson Micheal Gates Edwards Sereata Mona Edwards Robert Grey Egerton Anna Jean Emerson J uniors 75 Top Row, left to right: May Gullanar Eways, Barbara Jean Fain, Judy Burnette Farmer, Henry Clifton Ferrell, Jr., Thomas Eugene Fesperman, Carlton Russell Fields, Marvin Poole Fine, Francis Sylvia Floberg, Larry Gene Foster.

Certain days through¬ out the year were set aside to carry out this project. These were Know Your Homeroom Day,” Know Your Administrative Officers Day,” and Know Your Teachers Day.” The money for the sophomore contribution to the yearbook was raised by selling tickets to the play, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay” and by selling home-made candy at this per¬ formance and at the minstrel, Ragtime Jubilee.” A scrapbook is being compiled which will contain all the activities of the class until it graduates in 1953.

Early in September the Orienta¬ tion Program for sophomores and their elec¬ tion of officers were held. We have the Council to thank for Social Standards Day, the school spirit at football games from the student cheerio section, the help from weekly devotions, the sponsorship of our two lovely contestants to the Piedmont Bowl Beauty Queen Contest, the distribution of school constitutions to the homerooms, the election of officers in the spring, and the beautiful May Day program. This hard-working or¬ ganization also sponsors a square dance at mid-semester, and it co-sponsors with the P. T. A. our annual Christmas Dance and the climax of every year, the Commencement Prom. 101 Bill Sartin, Assistant Business Manager — Betsy Wright, Associate Editor — “I know “Rubber cement, mounting board, razor what I ' ll do to make it fit — crop ’im off! 1 ” blades, drawing ink, pictures at Martin ' s, and get this package off to the engraver. Any¬ thing else this trip?” Mrs. LeGwin, Adviser — “Sara, your extra¬ vagant lay-outs must not exceed Bill ' s budget!” You’ll want to know the inside story of how we got this masterpiece together. It repre¬ sents 389 hours of after school work. It got so that every time Mr. Routh answered his phone after eleven P. M., he automatically said, Thank you for calling about the lights. The Whirligig staff is working.” On December 30 we left the school at three o’clock in the morning. We had just com¬ pleted our last order for the engraver. We looked like some mystic order feeling our Sara Ann Taylor, Editor — “I didn’t dream Billy Crowder, Business Manager — “Let ' s these division pages could be so complicated. see — that makes $999.99 to go.” Oh-li-h-h, Mr. Brightman—” Between Don Vaughn’s mutters of, “I’m a genius, Mrs. LeGwin,” and her admonishings of “Don, get to work, and quit making love to all these girls.” Don drew while Jo Ann Moore did all the lettering and frames.

As co¬ incidence would have it, all of us had come to school the previous morning decked out in red shirts. Our school can get mighty cold when it’s out for Christmas holidays. Late one afternoon during the holidays Mrs. LeGwin left Sara and Betsy working while she dashed home to prepare food for her starving family. That day of all days a big freeze swooped down on Greensboro. Sara and Betsy were so engrossed in their work that time meant nothing to them. All cars were called off the streets, and it was almost impossible to get down Westover hill. The telephone was too far away for those eager beavers” to hear its frantic ringing. Ask them how they were rescued. Over and over Mrs. LeGwin admonished the editors, You girls cannot get sick before February 1. Also, stop socializing!” Top: Janet Greene and Barbara Cashwell, Engraving Co-Editors smile as Janet says, Here ' s that missing picture!” Bottom: “High salesman” Kacky Holt and Anne White did a remarkable job in soliciting advertising. Toward the last we worked up an assem¬ bly line of which industry would be proud. Sara laid out the pages, Betsy figured pro¬ portions for the pictures, and Mrs. LeGwin mounted them, while Bill Sartin cleaned up and packed them for mailing. Georgia, Jo Ann and Betty stood by to assist in any way needed, and Carl and Norman, ex-officio staff members, gave extra protection in the wee small hours. Ours was a large staff, but each member did his part to make this book what it is. At times we were faced with threats of a reform school for our editor, a nervous breakdown for our associate editor, and a divorce for our advisor, but today we are all happy, in good health, and proud of this, our 1951 edition. V ENGRAVING ZJk LL Hats off to our school newspaper. High Life. In the past year the excellent efforts of the staff members and the students of the first year class have been well rewarded. The paper received first place ratings by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association and the National Scholastic Press Association, and honorable mention by Quill and Scroll. The Journalism students solicit, plan, write, and proof-read the copy, make up the dummy sheets and handle every phase of the publi¬ cation.

Until Mr. Underwood’s return for the second semester, Mrs. Hatfield stepped in to lend a helpful hand in getting out the publication every three weeks.

For the first time the orchestra elected officers, which were as follows: Sam Sox, President; and Terryodiene Gaulden, Vice- President. Enjoying the best-balanced instru¬ mentation it had ever had, the group received many honors. Besides a superior rating in the State Contest, they were well-represented at the All-State Orchestra in Charlotte and the M.E.N.C. held in St. Louis in 1950. The 1951 All-State Orchestra was held in Salis¬ bury, but the highlight of this year ' s activities was the trip to Richmond to play in the Southern District Conference of the M.E.N.C.

They participated in the State Music Contest and the State Music Festival, furnished enter¬ tainment for numerous civic clubs in Greens¬ boro, took several trips to give programs in neighboring cities, and performed for many assembly programs, including our impressive Christmas Pageant.

The seniors who were chosen for membership were ’ tapped ' ’ in an impressive ceremony in the fall, and additional seniors and second-semester juniors were ’tapped ' ' again in the spring. This has been a busy year representatives, and the Christmas party, given in honor of the new members, was en¬ joyed by all. Students always look forward to the Torchlight Talent Show, given this year in March. Service projects included taking gifts to polio patients at Easter and visits to the County Home. A scrapbook was also made and taken to be judged at the National Honor Society Convention, held in March in Salisbury.

Books are our business,’’ say Miss Herring and Miss Walker, our two capable librarians and advisers of the Library Club at G.H.S. This dub is composed of twenty-five student assistants who spend at least one hour a day rendering valuable service in the library. One student, usually a boy, is employed on the Diversified Occupations Program to work at least twenty hours a week in the library. Mem¬ bers of the club meet every Wednesday morn¬ ing from eight-thirty until nine o’clock with the librarians.

There are twelve busses in the fleet at G.H.S., each with a well- trained, capable bus driver who possesses an outstanding safety record. Counting the after¬ noon return trips, approximately ten thou¬ sand students rode our school busses during the 1949-1950 school year with no injuries to the riders while on the busses. This record will compare favorably with that of any com¬ mercial transit line. To become a bus driver, and thus a member of the Wheel Club, a boy must pass a test that takes all day to complete.

The C.D.L. Club, formed early in the spring of 1950, was first called the L. P. Club. Dur¬ ing their first year they were most successful as both a service and a social club. Canasta parties, hayrides, and a shower for Jody Wilkinson, their former president who moved to California, constituted their social func¬ tions. Among their service projects were the making of place cards for the patients at the Guilford County Tuberculosis Sanatorium at Thanksgiving, and helping a needy family at Christmas and Easter. The twenty members take turns at playing hostess at the meetings held at their homes every other Thursday night. The C.D.L.

The D.D.T.’s have once again had a very enjoyable year of social life. They gave their annual Christmas Dance for 450 delighted teen-agers at Sedge- held on December 23. Through the year the twenty members had many happy times on their annual beach trip, at parties, at a hay- ride that is becoming a yearly event, and at the dub meetings held each Wednesday after¬ noon at the club members ' houses.

It was formed in 1947 by a group of girls, most of whom came to Senior from Curry. During the four years since its beginning, its mem¬ bers have enjoyed a varied program of activi¬ ties, which included welfare work, havrides and parties. Each year, however, is climaxed by their annual spring dance, when some four hundred students turn out in their best or¬ gandy formals and white dinner jackets for a very enjoyable evening.

They helped poverty-stricken families at Christmas, Thanksgiving and Easter, made cartoon scrap¬ books and cookies for veterans in hospitals, contributed twenty dollars to the Whirligig, and took part in Red Cross Service. But L.S.P. life is certainly not all work and no play.

It has become a custom to have a social gathering at Christmas. In 1949 it was a square dance, and in 1950, a progres¬ sive dinner. Other club activities throughout the year include a beach house party, a tea honoring the new members, hayrides, and seasonal parties. 1 lie Venettes officers are, left to right: Jane Edwards, President; Mae Powell, Secretary; Shirley Tay¬ lor, Youth Center Representative; Kathryn Clegg, Vice-President; and Martha Malone, Treasurer.

Mariner Ship . o.vc f Conrad ' Ship ahoy,” say the Mariners each summer as they at last reach the highspot of their year—the cruise down the Chesapeake Bay. For the past two summers they have made this week-long trip on a sweet-sailing schooner, the Anna and Helen.

Key Club The key” to helping others has certainly been found and used by this service club, which is sponsored by Kiwanis International. The valuable second edition of student direc¬ tories, concessions at football games, an am¬ plifying system for the cheerleaders, the Christmas tree in the front hall, a fifty-dollar contribution to the yearbook, and an assem¬ bly program were projects of the hard-work¬ ing Key-clubbers. Highspots of the year were the Wednesday supper meetings at the Y.M.C.A., the District Convention for all members in Charleston, South Carolina, the International Convention for officers in Florida, and many unforgettable parties and hayrides. Each hag of peanuts sold helped pay the fifty-dollar contribution to the Whirligig. 148 The Key Club members are, first row. left to right: Bobby Ingram, E.ldie Yost, Bobby Clark, Bill Michael, DeArmon Hunter, Lacy Baynes, and Bill Sartin.

Football Every day is wash-day for managers, Connie Mack Butler and Pete Hall, dur¬ ing football season. After a close defeat by Wilmington in the opening game of the season, the Purple Whirlwinds bounced back in fine fashion to win four consecutive games. Of these, two were important Western Class AAA Confer¬ ence victories. Numerous injuries hampered the hopes of Coach Jamieson’s charges after these early games, and the campaign ended with an even record of six victories and six defeats. The highlights of this season were the sound trouncing of Charlotte ' s highly-touted Wildcats, followed by a victory over our bitter rivals, the Black Bison of High Point. A triumph over the Bison always marks the season a success despite the won-loss column. football Results Greensboro 12 .... .Wilmington 19 Greensboro 52 _ .Raleigh 6 Greensboro 23 .... .Rocky Mount 18 Greensboro 21 .... .

Always reliable Tiny Burtner, despite former injuries, crossed the double stripes for the lone tally against Reidsville.

Coach Johnson’s boys proved to have power plus in winning the Northern Division of the Western Class AA Conference. Providing the bulk of the hurling for the Whirlies were Jack Thomas and Lindy Brown both of whom later made All State. Tiny Burtner, who successfully shifted to the catcher’s slot, along with Connie Mack But¬ ler, lead the batting percentages. Howard Stanley consistently turned in a good job at the hot corner, while the nimble-fingered and sure-footed combination of Arnold Steele and Pete Hall, shortstop and second-baseman, re¬ spectively, clicked on numerous double-plays throughout the season. Much praise is also due the promising reserves. Charlie Thompson, Whirlie first sacker, holds up at first base with a clean single. Top: Star hurler. Jack Thomas, fires in his specialty, a fast one.

At last, in the wee small hours of a cold Feb¬ ruary morning, this second Whirligig is put to bed.’’ We can look back over these last months of toil with a feeling of pride, for we know that ours has been a worthwhile objec¬ tive. The joy of such a large task lies in the fact that we can forget our many problems and hard work, but we shall always remember the fun we have had through our many pleasant experiences and companionships. As we recall the various phases of our under¬ taking, we are reminded of all those who were indispensable in producing this 1951 Whirligig. Foremost, we sincerely thank Mrs. Estelle LeGwin, our unselfish faculty adviser, who so willingly gave of her time, interest, and efforts. Then there is Mr. Routh, who was never too busy to offer his sound advice. We appreciate the cooperation shown us by him and members of the faculty. Every member of the staff did his own par¬ ticular job well, but in every endeavor there must be those who hold the most responsible positions, and to these especially we want to express our gratitude. There is Betsy Wright who was really as much a Co-editor as Associate, and Bill Sartin, Assistant Business Manager and our jack-of- all-trades.” Without their unceasing persistence our book could never exist. Georgia Smith, who efficiently lined up all photography; Betty Jones, who cheerfully an¬ swered the many calls made of her; Janet Greene and Barbara Cashwell, who patiently mounted portrait panels; Connie Curry and Barbara Whittington, who worked long and laboriously producing and typing the many pages of copy; Don Vaughn and Jo Ann Moore, who are responsible for the artistic features of our book; Janet Davis, who spent many hours tracing and preparing the story of our school’s development; all are due much credit. Many of our appreciative thoughts are di¬ rected toward Mr. Gordon Brightman, who was helpful in our transactions with the Jahn and Ollier Engraving Company and to sweet Mr. Frank Fleming, our Lassiter Press printer who stuck with us to the end, offering his excellent advice and services. Mr. Carol Martin and Mr. Malcolm Miller of Martin’s Studio are responsi¬ ble for the beautiful informal photography on which much of the success of our book depends. The buzz of activity in the Whirligig room has slowed down even as the plans for the ’52 yearbook get underway. We also want to thank Betty Jane Davis, who filled in in emergencies and Tommy Fesperman and Mose Kiser, who rendered much-needed assistance especially in the final hours of editorial work. It looks as if next year ' s Whirligig will be in capable hands. We wish for them the same all-round coopera¬ tion we have had. To each of you and to the students of Greens¬ boro High School we sincerely say, thank you. 198 Sr. pondor6 cino MAY 1951 Dear Sponsors and Advertisers: We would like to express our appreciation to all the people and firms who have supported our book and who made it possible, financially. This hook dates hack to our forefathers, hut in reality it is the present fathers who have been our stabilizers. We cannot thank you enough for your warm response, “Of course I’ll hack you up in your yearbook.” Again we thank you. THE WHIRLIGIG STAFF 199 W. I. Anderson Co., Inc.

IS IT CONDITIONING. . . coaching . . . teamwork . . . physique . . . sportsmanship . . . competitive spirit ... or just plain honest-to-goodness athletic skill? We doe ' t pretend to be athletic experts, because our job is to manufaclure high quality textile products. But as sporting fans we think it would be safe to say that an athletic champion is the result of all these fine qualities. We know that it has taken a combination of great leadership, manufacturing know-how, careful planning, employee loyalty, and skilled teamwork to make Burlington Mills a champion in the textile industry. The Company ' s many accomplishments and progressive growth during the past 27 years are well known. We are proud of this record and equally proud of our 32,000 employees who have worked together with real team spirit as members of the Burlington team. It ' s a fact that Burlington ' s fine fabrics, hosiery and other textile products are truly Woven Into the Life of America — just as every Burlington plant is woven into the life of its own community.
