Who are always there with cheery smiles and a boundless interest in all that we do? Who not only share our joys when we succeed, hut also help us to bear our disappointments when we fail? Who have unselfishly made their only goal the satisfying of all our needs? Who have worked ceaselessly—oftentimes without even a “Thank you” — just to experience an overwhelming feeling of pride when we finally achieve our objec¬ tive and step up to receive our diplomas? Why, Mom and Dad, of course. Only they could possibly mean so much to us. And so with sincere appreciation for all of the love and understanding they have given us, we dedicate this, our 1952 issue of 1 T hirligig, to our most faithful “fans”—our parents. mmm our lime at cm...

What is “Senior” to us? Is it an institution of learning: a series of class rooms where the apparent function of teachers seems to he loading us down with home work until we are rewarded with a diploma after years of heating our hrains out? Or is it that mad rush to home room every morning to keep from getting a little pink slip? Is it plays and assemblies, parades and football games, club meetings and May Day? Is it sharing a bulging locker, dashing out to the smoking area between classes, or oft to “Sunset” for a snack? Is it the friends we ' ve made and the friendships we’ll keep? We believe that our school is all of these . . . and much, much more. So, with the help of our mascot Horatio Catbate, who from this hook ' s earliest beginnings displayed a keen interest in all that was going on. we try in this 1952 Whirligig to portray as com¬ pletely as possible all that “Senior” means to us. We begin with the busy morning; we go on through the rush of activities that fill our after¬ noon; and “Good night” eomes after the fun and memories of a wonderful day.

After rummaging through his crowded office files, Mr. Anderson, Assistant Principal, also an English teacher, finds that certain detail and gives us a winning smile. A desk piled high with papers, the ring of a busy phone, a ready word of advice or a cheerful smile — these things identify our principal, Mr. Routh. 13 FACULTY Mrs. Grace Alton Mathematics Mr. David Arner Assistant Band Director Mrs. Frances B.

SENIORS During those first two years of senior high school, when we were only dreaming of be¬ coming seniors, we thought little of the chal¬ lenges and the responsibilities that would come hand in hand with the fun we rightly expected. This year has brought both, in full. Along with that memorable trip to Washington and all those special senior privileges, such as first chance at registration and going to assembly before the others, we found ourselves the leaders in our social and service organizations, the editors of our publications, and the captains of our sports teams. We were greatly appreciative of the help given us by our hard-working adviser, Mrs. Hicks, in such projects as selling Christmas cards, theatre tickets, and class pins to raise money for the yearbook. The sudden realization that only two semesters of high school stood between us and a cold and confusing world put us all into a frantic state of having to choose a college or a vocation with¬ out college. We reached our decisions, and we went about making preparations for the future. Directing Senior Class activities has been the responsi¬ bility of, fop to bottom. Mrs. Frances Hicks, Adviser; Carolyn Welch, Secretary; Nancy Haithcock, Treas¬ urer; Janet Davis, Vice-President; and DeArmon Hunter, President. Our graduation is a beginning. The courage md the initiative that we have gained through our experiences as seniors will help to make this beginning a good one. 19 SENIORS Robert B.

JUNIORS Working in the middle of things” is quite a new experience for the Class of 1953. Growing a year older has helped us realize more fully our responsibilities. By selling picture post cards of our school and ribbons for our football games, we have earned two hundred dollars to contribute to the Whirli¬ gig. We provide the school with marshals for all events; and with the able assistance of Miss Wales, our faculty adviser, we gave a most successful Thanksgiving program in assembly. We are full of anticipation that next year will be as wonderful and worth¬ while as this year has been. 67 JUNIORS Duane Adkinson Nanette Ahalt Margaret Alala Milton Cross Alderfer Douglas Edward Allen Everett James Almond Carolyn Young Alston Pattie Sue Apple Shirley Carolyn Apple James Sutton Armstrong, Jr. Mary Henrie Arthur Betty Ruth Austin Bessima Edna Bach Shirley Ann Barbee Kenneth Barber Charles Wesley Barham Dorothy Jean Barricks Barbara Ann Barrier Barbara Bayne Robert Lamar Beall Jerry Beck Gerald Henry Bell Nancy Scott Bell Robert Locke Bell Ben Nita Black John Black Patricia Ann Bobbitte Robert Edmond Boggan, Jr. Tricia Ann Booth Loretta Bradshaw Shirley Jean Brady Sarah Jeanette Breedon Nettie Jo Brewer Dorothy Mae Brisson Wayne Byrd Brown 68 Peter Blythe Buck Julian Bulla Cecil Gattis Bullard Joseph Christopher Burns Edward Winslow Butchart Anne Ballard Button fames Doggett Bynum Jerry Dean Call Shirley Jeane Campbell Katherine Ann Carlson Emma Sue Carswell David Siler Carter Jolene Carter Fullam Howard Cashion Carolyn Lee Caviness Richard William Chalk Modena Jerlene Chatten Harold Grey Christmon James Edward Clark Robert Gary Clark Fay Louise Clarke Sally Ann Cody Betty Jean Cox Glenda Mae Cox Judith Sandra Cox (Meece) Claude Eugene Craddock Russelline Boone Craddock Branch Merrimon Crawford Doris Elizabeth Crews Thomas Jesse Crowder John Raymond Crutchfield, Jr. Mary Magdalene Crutchfield Angela Boyd Culler Barbara Ann Cummings Carol Eugene Davis Pattie Lane Davis Alec Dermatas Don Devaney Patricia Ann Dillon Charles Hamrick Doggett 69 JUNIORS Claudette Downing Suzanne Dryzer Lois Anne Duncan Ralph Durham Sandra Dyer Jo Ann Elizabeth Eberenz Rose Marie Edmondson Joan Ola Edwards Marjorie Edwards Rodney Allen Edwards Billy Ellis Ravis Larry Emerson John Essa Charles Edwin Eubanks Charlotte Faye Evans Patsy May Eways Ann Carolyn Falk Barbara DuBose Farley Myrtle Rebecca Featherstone George Watson Ferguson Kenneth Wayne Ferguson James Richard Fields Jacquelyn Denson Fink Anne Gray Flaherty Gardner Patrick Foley Dorothy Lee Foster Robert William Foster Dorothy Frye Jane Elizabeth Fryman Ann Hargrave Fullton Jerry Garrett Hugh Leslie Gerringer Peggy Joan Gibbs Ruth Marie Gilley Gail Glascock 70 Arlie Odell Glass Marie Rose Gleason Margot Gizela Goetze Robert Harold Goldberg Dolores Goodwin George Gore James Gordon Joanne Gourley William Richard Greene Patricia Anne Gregg Lora Ann Gregory Marjorie Gregory Frank Grove Shirley Mae Guthrie Dan Haley Alton Adams Hall Rebecca Hambrick Margot Hammond Mary Isabel Hargrove Betty June Harper Jimmy Harrington Charles Harris Edward Lee Harris Dorothy Hart Carl Franklin Hassell Clarence Gentry Hayes Joan Heath David Arthur Heinzmann Aubrey Livingston Henderson Carolyn Gertrude Hendrix Paul Jones Henkel William Henry Herford Charles Ernest Hester Joan Fredericka Hester Billy Glenn Hiatt Dan Lee Hilliard Dorothy Ann Hobbs Talmage Lee Hobbs Martha Sue Holden Charles Thomas Hughes 71 JUNIORS J.

SOPHOMORES Every September there comes to Senior High a multitude of innocent children known as sophomores. They are afraid—afraid of the school, afraid of the teachers, and afraid of the upperclassmen. Finding out what senior high school life is like is sometimes a painful process, but this class has had no trouble in becoming a real part of the school. They have survived the regular pitfalls of working locker locks, find¬ ing out just what exams are, and getting acquainted with the other students and the teachers. What is more, they earned far more than their class’ part of the yearbook fund. Ask any sophomore now and he will say, Senior High? It’s really fine!” Mrs. Dorothy Darnell, adviser of the Class of 54, is shown with the officers: Pat Price, Vice-President; Bobby Jackson, President; Anna Huffine, Secretary, and Jimmy Griggs, Treasurer. 81 Sophomores Patricia Elizabeth Addison Barbara Sue Alberty Ann Elizabeth Alexander Wayne Thomas Alexander Sylvia Anne Almond Marcena Faye Anderson Charles Thomas Andrews Jerrell Edmund Andrews Dorothy Ernestine Angel Joyce Angel Fritz Delano Apple George Raymond Artope Powell Ashley Carol West Atcheson James Thomas Atwater Carolyn Jean Austin Martha Jean Austin Betsy Ann Ayers Nan Ayers Raoula Smith Bach Sandra Loretta Bailey Clyde Bedford Bailiff Kaye Alvia Banner Dawn Ellen Barbour Marilyn Elizabeth Barbour June Elizabeth Barnes Robert Sylvester Barnes Willie Rae Barricks Katharine Camilla Barringer George Arthur Bartholomew Nancy Jean Bateman Donald Ray Baynes Dorothy Dean Bean Wilma Jane Beard Robert William Beeson George Atkinson Belk Barbara Ann Bell Mary Elizabeth Bell Richard Alan Birgel Arthur Olin Bishop Cynthia Leigh Bivins Robert Lee Blanchard Clarence Caldwell Boggs Wiley Rogers Bolton Carolyn Dean Boone Ronald Douglas Bow man Shirley Jean Branson Ralph Garber Bright Dorothy Ann Bristow Shirley Dawne Brookbank Elizabeth Ann Brooks Betty Ruth Brown Barbara Belen Brown Jane Etoile Bruce 82 Sybil Inez Bryan Cora Sue Bryant Jo Frances Bullard Martha Sue Burgess Frank Lois Burton Del sic Lee Butler Franklin Reid Cagle Jimmie Leslie Capps Betty James Carson Larry Garland Cartland Stewart Thornton Cass Betty Lorene Caviness Nancy Joyce Chamberlain Tini Rae Chambers John Cary Chandler Sylvia Ann Chandler Margaret Lucille Childress Gwen Ingrid Christianson Joseph Mark Clapp Ronnie Wayne Cockman Carol Austin Cofer Margaret Ann Coffey Sylvia Elaine Collins Marjorie Elizabeth Colmer William Stewart Colson Barbara Ann Connor Joseph Kenneth Cook Tommy Davis Gus Thomas Costas George Logan Cox Jack Norman Cox Franklin Duval Craven Ryan Crutchfield Betty Lou Cudd Robert Carl Cybrynski Charles Edward Davis.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY It is the aim of Torchlight, the National Honor Society, to develop a unified person¬ ality based upon the four qualities of char¬ acter, scholarship, service, and leadership. We realize such a personality is never com¬ pletely achieved but is a growing concept. It is our hope that this may aid in the develop¬ ment of the well-rounded personality which will find joy in living and satisfaction in service.” With this speech, the president of Torchlight opens the impressive tapping ceremony which takes place twice a year, once in the fall when Seniors are taken in, and again in the spring when both Seniors and Juniors are chosen. To be selected for mem¬ bership in this organization is considered one of the highest honors which a student can receive. In the fall Torchlight joins with the Diversified Occupations Classes in sponsoring College Day; and in the spring the Torchlight Talent Show is given to raise money for its scholarship fund. Miss Mims is the group’s adviser. The o eers of Torchlight are, loft to right , Carol Stroud, Secretary; Bain Alexander, Treasurer; Anne Wrenn, President; Miss Mims, Adviser; and Norma Veney.

This is true if these efforts result in a real contribution toward the success of one of the school publications-newspaper or yearbook. Quill and Scroll, which has a chapter at Senior High, is a national honorary society for school journalists. Its main object is to stimulate and to develop creative writ¬ ing. One of the most interesting assembly pro¬ grams of the whole year was that given by Quill and Scroll in March. The adviser, Mr. Sam Underwood, managed to persuade the very busy Chancellor House of the University On ill and Scroll officers relax sociably between periods of activity. Left to right: President Henry Ferrell, Secretary-Treasurer Steve Leonard, and Vice-President Dave Wright. of North Carolina to be the main speaker.

FOREIGN STUDENTS THE WORLDLY TOUCH A Yankee twang is frequently heard among the Southern drawls at Senior, and some¬ times there is an accent harder to identify, which, chances are, belongs to one of G.H.S.’s foreign students. Many of our students were born in foreign countries or have lived there. Three of these took part in a series of radio programs given by Mr. Fredrickson and the history department during United Nations Week last fall.

In the spring, Senior ' s Dorothy Kirstens and Mario Lanzas sang all over town for audiences which ranged from Greensboro College girls to Rotarians. Some other highlights of the year were a program with the Band, the State Contest, and the memorable Baccalaureate Sermon, which was the last time the Senior members sang with the rest of the group.

SINGING “GUYS ANI) DOLLS” The Glee Clubs at Greensboro Senior High School are composed of the Boys’ Chorus, the Advanced Girls’ Glee Club, and the first and second period Girls’ Glee Clubs. Each of these groups attends the State Contest; and, due to the fine directing of Miss Eula Tuttle, choral leader, the rating they receive is usually top-notch. The Girls’ Glee Clubs are large groups, and for their annual assembly programs they com¬ bine their efforts and talents into one big show. The Boys’ Chorus is a comparatively small group, thus affording them individual attention. Because of all the masculine voices, their chapel program is distinctive and, accord¬ ing to the feminine population, very popular. 110 Beginning Girls’ Glee Club members are, first row , left to right , Barbara Albertv, Joan Robbins, Izeta Teague, Shirley Barbee, Peggy Smith, Elaine Lanier, Henrietta Reed, Carolyn Lowdermilk, Sybil Bryan, Betty Jo Truitt, Jane Wharton, and Marie Phillips.

The most important organization in our high school is the Student Council, for it is the student—faculty go-between.” Through it the students, faculty, and the P.T.A. work together on various projects. Besides promot¬ ing leadership, the Student Council empha¬ sizes citizenship and school spirit. Among its many activities this year, the largest project was holding the Congress of North Carolina Student Councils in Greens¬ boro. Senior’s Council, along with that of Curry High School, entertained approximate¬ ly three hundred delegates for two days. Other events sponsored by the Council in¬ clude school dances, May Day, and school elections. Once again. Miss McNairy guided the Council through a successful year. Gravely fascinated by the latest issue of Hi i Life just before it is issued to its public are Henry Ferrell, editor-in-chief; Martha Moore, make-up editor; and Mr. Sam J. Underwood, adviser. EXTRA HIGH LIFE EXTRA __ From the Gate City of the South and the Birthplace of O. Henry __ VOLUME XXVI SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL, GREENSBORO, N. NOVEMBER 14. 1949 NUMBER 6 . . . BUT NO HANGOVER You see the finished results every second Friday. The neat, gleaming High Life is de¬ livered to whatever room you’re in, and you rush to see what Janet has said about whoever it may concern in her gossip column, to take in the pictures, to hunt for your name in the honor roll, and occasionally to read the edi¬ torials. But what you don’t see is the constant behind-the-scene action that is necessary to publish a high school newspaper. You don’t see the horde of advertisement-seeking stu¬ dents or the fevered make-up on Wednesday. You don’t see the split infinitives, as does the proof reader, or the taut looks on the editors’ faces as a three-column head refuses to print right. And you fail to see the work and the time given by Mr. Sam J. Underwood, ad¬ viser, Mr. A. P. Routh, financial adviser, and Mrs. Grace Faver, art adviser. But we who experience to the full both the anguish and the relief . . . we are the ones who get a thrill from the finished product. Preparing copy for the printer has its brand of kibitzers too.

Somehow, she managed to keep us HERE WE ARE IN PRINT AND PICTURES There are three alternatives, Mr. Routh informed us at the beginning of the year: You can have a yearbook comparable to last year’s; you can change to a lithographed book; or, as a last resort, the book can be dis¬ continued altogether. The final answer was a financial one which was decided after a very successful sale of books last fall. Mose and his staff became expert at breaking down resistance to their ad and sponsorship sales talks. The departure of our former adviser had left us in a spot.

Since his curiosity and noseyness seemed typical of all of us at Senior, we decided to let him introduce our theme and appear throughout the book. Soon, however, he made a forced departure for the Biology lab, and has been with us in spirit only ever since. During the Christmas holidays before our engraving deadline, we moved for greater space to the outer sanctum” equipped with our picnic lunches and a coffee pot. Faithful members of the staff came through snow, sleet, and rain to do their part. Countless nights as we left school, we groped our way blindly through a pitch-black auditorium and carefully locked the door behind us. Our heads still ring with familiar cries: Here comes Norma in the window again” “Wonder how this group would look standing on their heads?” asks Norma Veney, Photog¬ raphy Editor, while she, Joyce Strother, Organizations Editor, and Jaek Coleman, Assistant Photography Editor, plan the pictures for the Whirligig. . . . Think of a sub-head for this, Barb . . . Elliot, how many ads did you bring in today?” . . . How’d it get so late so soon?” . . . Have any more proofs come back yet? . . .

Accompanied by music by the band, the seventeen ladies of the court entered with their escorts. This year for the first time the escorts demonstrated their talents by joining in the minuet. For the entertainment of the queen and spectators, various groups prersented dances portraying American dancing from the Indian days through the present day samba.

Band, under the direction of Mr. Herbert Hazelman, assisted by Mr. David Arner and Mr. George Toenes, has been as busy as a dog with two tails for the past year. About the third or fourth week in August the vocational building trembled as almost one hundred musicians and noisemakers blasted forth with marches for the coming football season, and the Senior High grid¬ iron was trampled by one hundred and twenty pairs of marching feet. After half-time shows for five home games, two games away, and college games at Duke and Carolina, the band wound up its march¬ ing days and skidded into the concert season with the Christmas concert and an assembly program. The winter and spring months were crammed with appearances. St. Valentine’s Day was hailed with the music of Mendels¬ sohn, Sibelius and others by the combined forces of the Band and Choir. A program for the Woman’s College girls followed the an¬ nual Spring Concert, which was pursued by another chapel program, a dress rehearsal for the highlight of the year, the State Contest. 124 The band salutes Carolina at the Carolina-State game at Chapel Hill. “One and two and—” Mr. Hazel- man keeps the root-a-toot-toots to¬ gether. Who says our hand isn ' t a “booming success”? The feminine members of the glee clubs, below . join the hand to pre¬ sent one of those special-feature half-time shows. 126 No performance was scheduled for the Thanksgiving game, but the team still had music and support from the hand. This December 14 concert started off very soberly with “Slow March from ‘Scipio’ hut it ended with the sparkling songs from “The King and I.” 127 ORCHESTRA THEY’VE CAPTURED OUR HEART STRINGS The Orchestra has steadily grown year by year with the present membership standing at eighty. Perhaps one reason for this growth is the large number of varied and tempting activities offered by the group. Early in the fall the Orchestra began practice for the con¬ cert which they gave for the student body in chapel. Work for State Contest was started at the beginning of the second semester with hopes that the Superior rating which they have consistently achieved in the past might be earned again. Many of the members were chosen to represent the organization in the All-State Orchestra. By comparison with the proverbial soup to nuts,’’ the versatility of our Orchestra ranges from Chopsticks to Bach. Besides playing music for string and full orchestra, many of the members have been divided into groups for ensembles. These are the students chosen for this work. Orchestra members under the direction of Mr. J. Kimball Harriman are, First Violins: Joseph Lowder- milk. Robert Beall. Betty Bell, Trieia Booth, William Bost, Elizabeth Anne Eldridge, Joyce Lee, George Makely, Lutz Mayer, Amanda McConnell, Mary Ruth Mitchell, Tom Osborne, Jan Rankin, Mary Ellen Rierson, Walter Underwood, Jim Williams. Second Violins: Katherine Bobbitt, Marilyn Barbour, Stewart Colson, Edward Fisher, Bill Foster, Margie Goldman, George Hardee, William Herford, Lillian Holland, Barbara Ann Jarrett, Frank Matlock, Annette Patton, Doris Phillips, Margaret Rose.

AND SPEECH THE PLAY’S THE THING Interest in dramatics increased mightily this year. Partly responsible for this minor renais¬ sance was the revival of Playmasters,” a drama organization. While this group of comedians and tragedians worked to interpret or produce various plays and experimental skits, several of the members delved into public speaking and came up with state and regional honors.

Included in this streak was a brilliant no-hit shutout by All-State mound-ace, Jack Thomas. Burling¬ ton broke this string, but the powerful Whirlies promptly won three more games before losing the last game to Winston- Salem.

KEY CLUB KEYS TO SUCCESS During the past four years the Key Club has been steadily fulfilling its threefold purpose of serving the school, developing leaders, and building better citizens. The main service project of the Key Club is the publication of the student directory. Holiday season finds the club members spraying and decorating a large Christmas tree for the main hall. The Key Club is sponsored by the Kiwanis Club and is an International Organization.

NEVER A DULL MOMENT Still tanned from a very eventful week at Ocean Drive, the G.W.I. ' s started this year with a party for new and departing members. Initiations were held the night of September 14, at the football game with Raleigh. The eleven new members were duly received into the club. Never a dull moment” really seemed to be the motto as various activities occupied the autumn months. The G.W.I.’s held a floor show for the Youth Center ' s Halloween car- dub members leave Janet Brooks’ home after one of their weekly Tuesday afternoon meeting: nival, had a November hayride, and made cartoon scrapbooks for veterans’ hospitals. During the Christmas holidays the club gave a progressive dinner for members and their dates. As projects they supplied a needy family with food, clothing, and toys for the children, and sold double-barred red crosses for the Tuberculosis drive. At the weekly Tuesday afternoon meetings plans were in progress for other activities dur¬ ing the year. During the winter the group began planning for the dance, which is tra¬ ditionally given in the spring. Last year it was held in April for approximately five hundred teen-agers. The club looks forward to the event which has become a highlight of the spring semester. As always, the G.W.l. ' s eagerly await their beach trip, climax of the year’s activities. Per¬ haps this summer they will finally find a way to get revenge on Evelyn Wall for her prac¬ tical jokes.

As the year progressed, so did the Les Soeurs with the planning and actual carrying out of such events as the eye-catching Les Soeurs Follies at the Youth Center’s Halloween Carnival, and the annual Christ¬ mas time floating supper—resplendent this year with fried chicken. Because the girls have so much enjoyed helping needy families through the Welfare Agency in the past, the interest has been car¬ ried on to this year also, in hopes that such a worthy project may be continued for many years to come. Speaking of annual events, the most important and long-awaited social func¬ tion of the year comes for the Les Soeurs in March when, surrounded by shamrocks and blarney, they hold their Saint Patrick’s Day celebration. Two years ago this was in the form of a dance, and last year the club gave a tea to which they invited some 400 members of other social clubs. LJsing a beach trip as the most perfect ending for another year, Les Soeurs, one of the oldest social clubs at Senior High, an¬ nually makes the proclamation that they’ve had the biggest and best year yet!

CLUB “WHEN THE SAINTS COME M ARCH INC IN” Back to school—and the L.S.P. ' s began an¬ other busy year. New members were properly initiated as Little Saints, complete with celestial robe and tinseled halo. L.S.P.’s went all out for the Youth Center Halloween Car¬ nival, for which the club sponsored their annual raffle. A confusion of lists, invitations, contracts, and refreshments ended in their successful Christmas Dance at the King Cot¬ ton Hotel Ballroom, which was followed by a breakfast at the Plantation Supper Club. Christmas also had a serious meaning for club members, as in a group the girls took food and gifts to a family suggested by the Wel¬ fare Department. The New Year held an¬ other succession of projects and parties for the L.S.P.’s. Come summer—and every mem¬ ber anticipates the annual beach trip, not to mention numerous club festivities. Could the L.S.P. officers be up to ‘ book-learning ? Front rote, left to right: Barbara Sides, (dub Representa¬ tive; Iris Starr, Secretary; and Joanne krieger. Vice-President.

The basic aim of Nu Phi Mu is friendship, and the Alpha Chapter also holds this purpose. The girls firs promoted the idea through good times together: this year was started off by a hay- ride on October 20. The second phase of friendship, service to other empha lized when the group helped a needy family at Christmas. Soon after the holiday season, plans were in the air for a dance later in the year. Through their varied program of social and service activities, the Alphas carry out the principles for which the organization was first founded. 154 The Alphas are proud of their piano-playing president.

NU PHI MU BETA CHAPTER The Betas, a newly organized chapter of the Nil Phi Mu, have come a long way since their first meetings. Plans for a spring dance and a summer beach trip have brought much excite¬ ment to the club members. The girls look for¬ ward to the meetings held every other Thursday, topping off each gathering with delicious re¬ freshments served by the hostess. As service to their community they have gathered up old clothing for one of the local civic organizations and filled a basket for a needy family at Christmas.

WITHOUT A CARK The Sans Souci Club members meet every other Thursday, and between discussing choice bits of gossip they carry out the im¬ portant business which ends in party after party for themselves and their dates. The first of these social festivities was a hayride in the fall. The club’s yearly dance, held last year in January, took place in March of this year. New Sans Souci members were honored at a party in the spring. The highlight of summer festivities is the annual beach trip which, although requiring a lot of prepara¬ tion, always goes off in fine style. The Sans Souci Club was organized in 1950. This year the members elected miss Margaret Harrill as club adviser and Lois Pond as President. 159 Officers of the Venettes Club are, left to right, Unila Pope, Treasurer; Peggy Gibbs, Secretary; Patsy Harvey, Vice-President; Mary Lee Wells, President; and Nancy Ilaithcock, Youth Center Representative. WHAT’S IN A NAME? The Venettes, who are now in their fourth year of combining good times and worth¬ while projects, began their busy year in Sep¬ tember with a tea honoring the new members. The girls have enjoyed such annual affairs as hayrides, progressive dinners, teas, and a spring dance. The summer beach party is another eagerly anticipated annual event. A scrapbook is kept of their various activities, and the girls enjoy looking through it to bring back the memories of the many good times they have enjoyed together. Included among these are many charity projects which the Venettes are constantly engaging in and which they consider a vital part of their club activity. Club members are, left to right, Maxine Wells, Mary Lee Wells, Patsy Harvey, Shirley Taylor, Margot Goetz, Kathryn Clegg, Peggy ' Gibbs, Rose Waynick, Kay Latla, IJnita Pope, Elizabeth Sparger, Nancy Hailhcock, and Martha Sue llohlen. 160 I 161 The W.S.T. officers are, left to right .

This year the W.S.T.’s enjoyed a series of activities beginning with the initiation of new members in September. Their annual dance, held November 10 in the King Cotton Ball¬ room, was the first club dance of the school year. At Christmas time each member con¬ tributed food and clothing for a needy family. A Mother-Daughter Tea, given in honor of next year’s new members, was a springtime function of the club. In July the W.S.T.’s will leave with a bag and baggage for Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, for their annual beach trip. The club was organized in 1949 and headed this year by Sara Ann Hickerson, President. W.S.T.

JUNIOR AND SENIOR HI-Y CLUli Y’S GUYS The activities of the Junior and Senior Hi-Y Club for the past year have been directed toward service for the school and the community. During football season Hi-Y members served as ushers at all home games. The club also sponsored an assembly pro¬ gram on Boy-Girl Relations early in the fall. Delegates have attended the conclave in Fayetteville, North C arolina; the Y.M.C.A. Centennial Convention in Cleveland, Ohio; and the Blue Ridge Officers’ Training Camp. Throughout the year there are many good times for Hi-Y boys. Especially looked for¬ ward to is the annual hayride which, accord¬ ing to the club members, is always a huge success. Junior and Senior Hi-Y meetings are held at the Y.M.C.A. each Monday night. Bain Alexander leads the club as President, Mr. Lacy W. Anderson is the faculty adviser, and Mr. Monroe Monday is the Y.M.C.A. director for the club. 164 Pictured at the right are the IIi- Club officers.

Sophomores have their own club; Juniors and Seniors combine to form the other. Each section has an adviser and part time assistants from Woman ' s College. At the Monday night meetings, a variety of programs is presented. Frequently there is a speaker, and always there is recreation. Differ¬ ent projects such as visits to the County Home are carried out through the year. Social activi¬ ties round out the Y-Teen schedule. Officers of the Sophomore Y-Teen Club are, first row.

Sail¬ ing down the Chesapeake, the girls get extra brown while learning all the particulars and essentials of being good sailors. This long- talked-of-voyage lasts about a week, just enough time to have all the fun in the world (a direct quote from the Mariners themselves). The winter months are devoted to classes in first aid and other courses valuable to the summer ex¬ cursion. Miss Kay Lutkins, a physical education director at Woman’s College, is their leader.

FOOTBALL This year Greensboro fielded a young, light, inexperienced team that won three games while losing eight. Although this record is far from impressive, the boys did their best and gave their all, which, as it happened, was not enough. The coaching was of the finest, but that ' s only a part. Spirit was high and the boys had the ability, but two main factors of any winning team were decidedly missing: size and experience. The Whirlies had an average line with the bigger boys in the key slots, but the pony backfield” was very light; Head Coach Boh Jamieson is Physical Education Director for all the city schools. 172 it was possibly the lightest in the conference. As for experience, only eight players returned from last year’s squad. None of these were regulars, and only a few had seen action from the previous year. The 1951 season closed successfully, how¬ ever, with a 14-0 victory over Goldsboro. The other two victories were over Raleigh and Reidsville. These were also shutouts: Raleigh fell 12-0, and Reidsville went down, 7-0. The Salisbury game was called because of bad weather. Stars were few; but players like Melvin, chosen for the Shrine Bowl; Routh and Betts, two fine flankers; Ledbetter, husky center and line backer; Michael, a stalwart on defense; and Whedbee, Clark, Sneed, and Yost, the offensive leaders, were consistently outstanding. Nol loo many years past, this fellow was a star Whirlie himself. He is Charlie Baker, Assistant Coach. The Whirlies go into their weekly pre-game limhlle in which they repeat the Lord’s Prayer. This time it is before the High Point game. 173 Here are the nineteen Senior Whirlies who are donning the Blue and White for the last time. They are, first row . left to right: Bobby Clark, Charlie Sneed, Bill Whedbee, Jim Melvin, Ralph Rierson, and Tommy Fesperman.

To Miss Virginia Powell, our adviser, for her untiring patience and capable supervision we offer our very deepest thanks. We are also greatly indebted to Mr. A. P. Routh, our principal, for his financial guidance and his all-round co-operation. Mr. Gordon S. Brightman of Jahn Ollier Company and Mr. Frank Fleming of Lassiter Corporation were most helpful with their frequent visits and the much needed informa¬ tion that they supplied us with. Mr. Carol Martin of Martin’s Studio and his assistants, especially Mr. Malcolm Miller, provided the excellent photography. They were always available with camera and suggestions when we needed them. Nancy Beeson, our faithful Associate Editor, and Dotty Dillard, our reliable As¬ sistant Business Manager, were priceless. Without their ever-ready assistance our book would have been impossible. Dave Wright contributed his talents in the creation of Horatio Catbate and Cynthia Baker did the lettering for the division pages. Both deserve special recognition. Shay Harris, John Butt, and Valerie Yow are due much credit for their accurate meas¬ uring, cutting and pasting” of the class panels. Janet Davis who, with the help of Jack Coleman, accurately completed the Senior captions; Norma Veney, who sched¬ uled all of our photography; Carol Stroud, Tommy Fesperman, Barbara Beavers, our resourceful literary editors; and Janet Brooks and Sara Ann Hickerson, who patiently toiled typing pages of copy, were all indispensable. Evelyn Greenberg, Gay Williamson, Bess Bach, Elliot Solomon, Barbara Kelly, Tommy Pearce, and the other members of the busi¬ ness staff proved their persistence by their success in financing the book. Lastly, Pat Gregg, Dottie Foster, Stewart Colson, Betty Jane Upchurch, and Barbara Jamieson did their particular jobs well. All were faithful in the late afternoons and dur¬ ing the Christmas holidays. We wish for them complete success in future Wbirligigs. All those who helped make our book are too numerous to mention. But to the teachers and students who each played a part in mak¬ ing such a book possible we offer our heartiest thanks. Betty Jane and Mose 190 SPONSORS AND ADVERTISERS MAY 1952 Dear Sponsors and Advertisers: We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone of you who has helped to make this 1952 Whirligig a reality.

Man¬ made fibers, new products of the chemist’s test-tube, have been a major contributor to this textile progress. A small textile producer in 1923, Burlington Mills believed in the future of rayon—an early man-made fiber. In the past 28 years Burlington has become a leader in the development and production of beautiful, durable and high-quality filament, spun and knit synthetic fabrics. From one plant with approximately 200 employees, our Company has grown to include 73 manufacturing plants in 43 communities of eight states and four foreign countries. Employing 34.000 people, Burlington is today the world’s largest producer of synthetic fabrics, and it is a recognized leader in the designing, development, research, merchandising and fashion fields as well as manu¬ facturing. If you are a young man or woman looking for a place in industry, we think you should consider textiles—and Burlington. It can hold a bright future for the person with the willingness to learn, ability to work, and the natural interest in this fascinating and competitive field. Executive Offices: Greensboro, N. C.
