Text from Pages 1 - 242 of the 1954 volume:

3 Published by the Students of Greensboro Senior High School Greensboro, North Carolina To Mr. Benjamin Lee Smith, educator, administrator, and friend . . . this 1954 Whirl¬ igig is respectfully dedicated. M r. Benjamin Lee Smith has earn¬ ed the deep respect of not only his own community but also of educators all over our nation. He has long been a courageous pioneer, a resourceful ad¬ ministrator, a dynamic leader in the field of education. He is a man driven by the aim to build and to maintain the best school system in North Carolina. From great distances come admirers to study and to imitate. Many organizations have honored him with membership, among them 9019 Scholarship Fraternity and Phi Beta Kappa. The Horace Mann League of the United States has elected him its President-General. In addition, he is a member and a leader in many civic, religious and educational organi¬ zations. Mr. Smith has combined conscientious enthusiasm and a natural capability to keep as close to teachers and students under his responsibility as possible. This year marks his eighteenth year as Superintendent of Greensboro Public Schools, whose progress he has done so much to insure. 6 William Sydney Porter, as O. Henry, became one of Greensboro’s most famous sons. OLe OLeme oj Our 0 L onj T he imagination of 0. Henry, if he were around now, would surely be fired by the rich and provocative story material Senior offers every day, in so many ways. Our school is the setting for countless little dramas . . . some serious, some comic, some ironic, some farcical, some even tragic ... all very important. Whether each character is motivated by ambition, promise of reward or fear of failure, he moves through Senior’s story according to his own desires and abilities. And suspense rises periodically, often apparently out of proportion to the motivation. For more pulses quicken over a football game, a dance, a play or a new boy in school, than all the report cards laid A to F could ever titillate. And once underw , the surging movement, the swift down- Jn to an outcome rarely foreseen, the constant change— jrn September to June. William Sydney Porter mixed Ly-teller O. Henry combined the flless tales, so we try in this 1954 proportion every element of our life at Senior so rich and so rewarding. 7 Olie Elements of Our -Otorij SENIOR’S STORY IN MOODS THE SCHOOL Administration F acuity .

Kach in its turn receives the focus of attention; but together all mix to nourish the well-rounded stu¬ dent-the one who is diligent, energetic, with a flair for the unusual. Basic to our formula is the school with its administrators, teachers and students, and above all the classrooms where, amid chalky black¬ boards. announcements, questions, discussions and homework, the characters meet in an atmosphere of learning.

But that is only one phase of their many and varied duties. Their interest and concern and their immense know-how enable them to make and to execute the vital decisions that have helped make the Greensboro school system one of the very best in North Carolina. Among their chief concerns during this vear were the face-lifting of our auditorium, completion of our gymnasium and getting the Calvin H. Wiley school under wav. School Hoard members al llieir regular monthly meeting are, Irft to right. Mr. J. C. Cowan, Mrs. David M. Brown, Mr. Smith, Mr. Weaver, Mr. D. E. Hudgins (Chairman), Dr. Raymond A. Smith, Mr. Robert F. Moseley, Mr. John R. Foster, Mr. Fielding L. Fry. Absent, Mr. Howard Holderness. 26 T hrough the doors of Mr. Routh’s office flow the constant tides of com¬ merce, so much a part of modern school life. Many thousands of dollars in school fees and funds are Mr. Routh s personal responsibility. Besides his masterful control of this high finance, he must keep his fingers on the pulse of every activity that moves within our walls and many that are centered elsewhere. He always finds time for answering countless questions and passing out advice on courses, present and future. His chief support and co-partners in Senior’s big scheme of things are Mr. L. W. Anderson, Assistant Principal, and Miss Mary Ellen Blackmon, Dean of Students. They see that every student is consistently present and meets the requirements basic in a community such as our school. They advise and console, and they furnish much of the expert guidance toward a clearer outlook for many students. Mr. Routh’s secretary, Mrs. Margaret Malone, gracious and efficient, eases his many burdens and helps to keep those tides of commerce flowing smoothly. Mr. A. P. Routh the master organizer and administrator of Greensboro Senior High School. Mrs. Margaret Malone is Mr. Routh’s competent and very pleasant secretary.

Ander¬ son, Assistant Princi¬ pal; Miss Mary Ellen Blackmon, Dean of Students; Mrs. Mar¬ garet Malone, Secre¬ tary; Mr. A. P. Routh, Principal. For tiie 1953 school term, the Faculty Club selected these officers. They are, left to right. Miss Betty Jean Matthews, Secretary-Treasurer; Mr. Donovan Darnell, Vice-President; and Mrs. Kathryn Pierce, President. T he more than sixty teachers here furnish much of the motivation and their share of the conflict that make Senior’s story so full of action. Their classrooms or the scenes of the activities they sponsor form the setting for the events that make up this plot. There is always something going on around the clinic, the library, the school store, the gym, in home room. And like the students under their care, the teachers are all important characters in whatever goes on. They even contribute in large measure to the local color. For instance, Mr. Glenn’s massive charm, Mrs. Newman’s dancing feet. Miss Mitchell’s complete efficiency. Miss Gabriel ' s breezy vitality, and Miss Tuttle’s colorful names for her pet “buzzards are only a few of the touches that enliven our story. Miss Dorothy McNairy lends a much-needed helping hand as the council members wade through registration for another semester. 28 FACULTY Miss Paula Abernethy English; Journalism; High Life Adviser; Quill and Scroll Adviser Mrs. Virginia K.

The first meeting was a “get-acquainted” supper and program. At another meeting Miss Lucille Browne presented a program on voca¬ tional guidance for teenagers. Kelly Maness and Stewart Cass, president and vice-president of the student body, attended board meetings to bring in the students’ views on matters concerning school functions. The P.T.A. set up a definite annual contribution for Whirli¬ gig and provided for the equipping of the recreation room. The girls of the home eco¬ nomics department were thrilled when tin P.T.A. had the silver service replated. They also continued their welfare program and started a fund for the purchase of a television set for the use of the students. The P.T.A. officers and committee chair¬ men, school heads and Student Council rep¬ resentatives meet for one of their planning sessions at a luncheon served by the Home Economics depart¬ ment. While the auditorium was undergoing plastic surgery this P. T. A. meeting was held in the library. 3 emor repare esponsibi lilies A fter twelve seemingly endless years of living in the same comfortable rut, four hundred-fifty people have suddenly jolted awake to find themselves at a crossroads in their lives. At the first of September they had discovered themselves holding that exalted position as seniors. After getting used to their new dignity and to the special respect given them by the lower classmen, they settled down to their last, and in many ways, best year at GHS. They all had special privileges, but besides silting in the center section of the auditorium and getting to register ahead of the other stu¬ dents, there was the strange pleasure of seeing their friends chosen as the leaders in all school activities. Sports, Student Council. Youth Center, Band, Whirligig — everyone found his or her special niche, and they all pitched in. Of course, it wasn’t all work. The exhilaration of cold football Friday nights, the trembly excitement of the big dance and the deafening lunch period chatter will al¬ ways remind them of the good friends the) found and the good times they had together. Of course, there were bad times, too-forgetting that Friday English theme, having to go to the board in trig., or maybe getting a low conduct grade in study hall. These Seniors did the usual Senior things—going to Washington, giving the Christmas pageant, writing their autobiographies—but it was different, some¬ how, because it was happening to them. Then it started being the last of things. The last assembly, the last French test. And they felt as if they couldn’t wait for it to be over; yet they dreaded its end. But that end inevitably came, and finally they stood, capped and gowned, and sang the Alma Mater togeth¬ er for the last time. All the yesterdays were over, tomorrow unfolded before them, and today was a dream come true. “Beat Raleigh’’ expresses the sentiment of the Senior Class officers, whose class sold the ribbons bearing those words. Left to right , are Jimmy Powell, President; Tini Rae Chambers, Vice-Presi¬ dent; Miss Eula Tuttle, Adviser; Rose Wharton, Secretary; Jimmy Griggs, Treasurer. 35 SENIORS PATRICIA ELIZABETH ADDISON, Homeroom Vice-President 4; Band 2, 3, Secretary 4; Orchestra 4; May Day Pageant 3; Softball 3; Y-Teens Secre¬ tary 3; Rainbow 2, 3, 4; Venettes 3, 4; Future Teachers of America 3, 4; Gold Star 4; Torchlight 4. . . .

Folding his arms and laying bis head on them, be gazed out the window at the spring after¬ noon. He was bored stiff. Why should anyone have to spend the last hour of a Friday rotting in study hall when he could he home working on his car ' ! 1 With a resigned sigh, Joe straightened up and reached for his geometry hook. Then he noticed for the first time the back door beckoning to the deserted halls. He flashed a crafty glance at the teacher who sat at the front desk, absorbed in grading papers. As quietly as he could, Joe slipped down on his hands and knees and slithered down the aisle. His knees rubbed over the doorsill and felt the welcome coolness of the hall tiling. Es¬ cape complete and freedom only feet away! Or were they Freedom ' s feet which strode so firmly down the hall and plant¬ ed themselves directly in Joe ' s patlif Slowly their reality penetrated Joe ' s pre¬ occupation. He raised his eyes past ar- gyle socks to initialed belt buckle, past plaid tie to wavy red hair. Realization hit Joe like a flood of icy water. Numbly he hacked up crahstyle, remopped his way on his trail to tragedy. Polling himself into his desk, he yanked out his geome¬ try hook and stared at it unseeingly, waiting, dreading the summons. Mr. Routh stopped at the end of the hall, leaning on a window sill. Amuse¬ ment tugged at a corner of his mouth as he thought, “Wonder if anyone will be¬ lieve this? Can ' t blame him too much though ... It is perfect fishing weather.” BOYCE REELE COCKMAN, Transferred from Pleasant Garden High School 4. . . . CAROLE AUSTIN COFER. . . .

Music throbbed softly in the dimly-lighted room. Under it ran the murmur of soft talk, the rustling swish of evening gowns; but its throaty whis¬ per poured a velvety coat of sound over every other noise. “This is my des-tin-y, to he alone.” Alice and Mark drifted on the waves of music, swaying slowly to its rhythm as she nestled close to his chest. “It ' s a wonderful dance, isn ' t it?” She looked at him adoringly. “Unh-huh,” he said, pouring love down on her from his eyes. “Alice,” he said suddenly, losing a step, “let’s go sit down. I’ve got to talk to you.” “Okay,” she agreed. They drifted into the dimmest, most isolated corner. “This sure is a pretty orchid you sent me,” she thrust into an awkward silence, fingering the flower ' s purple ruff. Mark sat silent, clenching and unclenching his fists, star¬ ing out at the dance floor. She looked up at him through long eyelashes and said, “Well?” He swallowed, suddenly turned to face her. “Alice, I haven ' t dated anybody else since I started dating you. I mean, not for two months. You haven ' t either. Dated anybody, I mean. Seems like—I mean, why don’t we—well . . .” Alice studied his tense face, and a little smile played at the corners of her mouth. “Yes?” she prompted gently. “What I mean is,” he began again desperately, “will you go steady with me?” He stared down at her in an agony, his face a little pale. The smile disappeared from her mouth, reappeared in her eyes. “Of course, I will,” she said softly. “Of course I will.” The music suddenly crescendoed into “No Other Love” as he returned her smile and gently reached for her hand.

Suddenly and deafen- inglv the hells began their elatter. In¬ sta ntly a thousand feet slam on the floor for a quick take-off. The rattle of toes hitting the steel-tipped steps crescendoes and blends with the echoing rumble of many voices until all the sounds meld into a dull roar. The blanket of noise is punctuated hv yells of greeting and the double clank of the hall doors hanging shut, being yanked open again. The crash of lockers pulled open quickly and slammed shut rings hack from the walls. Cold air from the ends of the hall thrusts icy, exploring fingers into the damp warmth, and the radiators knock in their determination to drive hack the chill. The people stream by, chattering and laughing. They seem a lot alike, hut a few faces stand out from the crowd—a bov lost in blank-faced thought as he mutters Shakespeare to himself; a girl whose face spells loneliness as she stands on tiptoe searching for the one special person lost in the crowd; a girl whose face is contorted in glee as she retells some story to her eagerly listening friends; a couple who swing hands as they drift along, talking only through their eyes. Slowly the people trickle into the class rooms, and finally the clots of boys around the water fountains dissolve. The bells clamor again, and with a hurst of talk as the last few slide in late, the rooms settle into quietness. The sun sends streaks of glare down the tiles and the radiators groan under their loads of tattered hooks. Dust motes sparkle and twist in a beam of golden light, and a hoy’s footsteps echo down the lonely hall. ROBERT LANDRETH, DeMolay 3, 4; Les Amis President 4; Football Manager 4. . . .

The skeleton grandstands crawled with hlack shapes as the crowds eddied and rushed. The hlue-uniformed hand twitch¬ ed nervously at the end of the field, one tuha player tapping an impatient metal¬ lic rhythm on his instrument. The crowtl caught its pidse and multiplied it 5000 times, throwing it hack and forth be¬ tween the stands. When their expectancy had reached the screaming point, the hand suddenly congealed into a unit. The majorettes flung their heads hack proudly, ignoring their high-flying feet. The show was on! In front of the stands a loose-jointed hoy leaned hack, closed his eyes and molded with his hands and swaying hody the crowd into one monster sound. “Come on! Everybody yell! and they became one mind, willing the hoys on the field below ' into the invincible ones, the mighty men, the Whirlwinds! The hoys on the field ran hack and forth, weaving in the intricate patterns of their game. Black hands moved slow¬ ly around the clock face; lights winked and blinked ever-changing messages. Cold wind cut sharply between the people in the bleachers, and they moved closer for warmth. The hands on the clock be¬ gan to move faster anti the grotesque- shouldered players tried to race them. The crowd’s anxiety drew taut as the time became shorter, shorter. Suddenly a black-striped arm was flung up, a whistle shrilled. The crowd surged to its feet, and with cheerleaders worshipfully leading, murmured its “faith and love and loyalty, Greens - bor - rer Sen - ver High!” ROBERT MOSELY. . . . LINDA MOSS.

Teachers step hack quickly as the hoys, so languid on the hack row, holt for the floor. Girls call to one another, Wait for me,” as they funihle in their desks for the corde hags. Boys and girls scramble down the steps, run¬ ning and pushing. Lockers hang, and books are thrown in helter-skelter. The girls hug their sides against the cold as they run stiff-legged in their tight skirts to the parking lot. Horns honk impatiently and motors roar menacingly, threatening an im¬ mediate take-off. The last stragglers are pulled laughing onto the laps of the people already in the hack seats, and the ears bounce over the ruts and the hare roots of battered trees to the road. Booths and counters are crowded as people shove and elbow, waving their hands to get attention. “Gimme a hot log and a coke!” someone yells in your right ear as you dodge the arm franti¬ cally reaching over your left shoulder for the straws. The waiter’s scrubbed pink hands deftly tear crisp lettuce and spread thick mayonnaise over the naked bread. “Coming right up,” he says and yells to the kitchen, “One regular!” Someone drops a nickel in the jukebox, and a thick layer of music fogs over the conversation. White porcelain table-tops disappear under drifts of waxed paper. • ' It ' s late!” somebody yells, and the exo¬ dus begins. The cars load up again and take off scratchilv for school. The hell jangles just as the stragglers pull in, and they scurry to join the crowds al¬ ready on their way to classes.

Her face felt hot under the grease paint; the thick make¬ up began to itch. She leaned hack against the gritty supports and tried to catch her breath. Beyond the battered red velvet curtain she could hear the audience as they surged into the auditorium, a sub¬ dued roar. Nancy tried to swallow, but the little moisture in her mouth couldn ' t get past the knot in her throat. Her heart was heating its way out of her chest, and the hack of her knees trembled. She wiped her hands on her skirt; and al¬ though they were cold, they left damp prints of perspiration. She tried to re¬ member what she was to do, but her memory was as empty as a deflated bal¬ loon. She ground her knuckles against her eyes until stars shot across the pain, but she couldn ' t remember her first line. The audience had become quiet, and only an uneasy rustle ran over the throng. Somebody behind her whispered tensely, “Ready?” Then excitedly, “All right, let’s go!” The curtain rose with a sighing sound. The footlights glared so brightly they veiled the audience. Some¬ thing inside Nancy compelled her onto the stage. Nerves tight, she went into the routine that somehow flashed into her mind without conscious recollection. Abruptly, a warm wave of laughter reached up to her from the rows of seats. Slowly the tenseness left her knees and ran out her feet. She unclenched her fists. With a little smile in the corner of her mouth she looked straight at the balcony and said her next lines.

MICHAEL CADET YOUNG. 61 I his year’s Juniors —“Two down and one to go” in their high school career— arrived at that grand destination, being upper¬ classmen, after a year of learning the ropes” as Sophomores. First on the year’s agenda for the Juniors was the election of marshals—two from each homeroom—who, dressed in blue and white, ushered parents and students to the various school programs in a dignified “un- bouncerish” manner. Thanksgiving was a big day for the class as they presented the annual pageant in the brand new auditorium. The program, directed and written by Mrs. Mar¬ garet Garrett, depicted Dink Jones, played by Harvey Knox, as a typical teenager who wondered just why we bother about Thanks¬ giving. Dink fell asleep over his homework, and in his dreams some of the great leaders of American history appeared. They, in their own profound and inspiring words, helped him understand just what Thanksgiving means. The junior class council, with Miss Estelle Mitchell as adviser, sponsored the sale of G.H.S. pins to boost school spirit and pay for the contribution to the Whirligig. This year’s activity and work has been a build-up and preparation for next year when the class of 1955 “comes into its own” as seniors with the responsibility and privilege of leading their fellow students. Comparing notes and receipts on the sales of G.H.S. pins are the officers of the Junior Class.

These “salad days” proved to be very profit¬ able as the Sophomores elected their officers from a tremendous slate of candidates. The Sophomores fell right into the campaign for more and better school spirit by selling sta¬ tionery imprinted with the name and seal of the school. Christmas cheer was also spread as Sophomores sold wrapping paper—suitable for wrapping that gift for Aunt Sallie, Mom and Dad, or that “special someone.” While becoming these “super salesmen,” the class got acquainted with Senior and life in these “hallowed halls.” With the proceeds from their sales, the class paid their two hundred dollar obligation to the yearbook with one hundred twenty-four dollars left in the treasury. The Sophomore Class under the leadership of John Gardiner, president, and Mrs. Mary Madlin, adviser, has survived those corny jokes about elevators, and lockers and “being the lowest form of life” and proved themselves worthy of that dignified title—Juniors. Sophomore officers prepare to distribute Christmas gilt wrappings which their class sold to meet its share of the Whirligig cost. They are, left to right.

There, Carolyn Lowdermilk pre¬ sided; Betty Caviness took first place in the Job Application Contest: Jerry Sherrill, second place in the Speech Contest; James Lester was elected District President; and Jerry Varner. District Associate President for 1954-55. The Cluh was very active in the State Convention in Greensboro in February and won its share of honors. The Bosses’ Banquet, is the biggest event in the year. The Club met once monthly for a Dutch Supper at the Mayfair, then either had a party or went on a field trip. They visited a flannel mill, a rayon plant, a bakery, and holiday window displays. Long to be remembered are the Open House at the Youth Center, a weiner roast at Larrion Clark s and a Theatre Party. 91 D. O. OFFICE PRACTICE CLASS M rs. Kathryn McEntire’s Diversified Occupations classes are enterprizing students who got a school education on a part- time schedule and spent the other part of their day gaining a practical education working in offices as receptionists, secretaries, etc. But since all work might have made them dull like Jack, they found time in their busy schedule to have fun.

The third period class had a Christmas party at Camp Herman after exams to celebrate with a weiner roast and square dance. The annual Bosses’ Banquet, which all the D.E. and D.O. classes planned together, was the social climax of their year. The second period class felt that some of their members deserved special recognition for superlative qualities. They decided by vote that Betty Douglas had the best personality; and they named Sandra Shepherd most business¬ like, Jean Gregory most cooperative, and Enid Priddy best all-round.

D. 0. - TRADES E nergetic members of Mr. Racster ' s Di¬ versified Occupations classes worked hard all year. In addition to toiling at their part-time jobs, and at the same time keeping up with their school work, they found time to enjoy themselves and participate in extra¬ curricular activities. During the fall and win¬ ter they saved their weekly dues for financing the Bosses’ banquet, and paid for their IVliirli- gig pages. One of their most ambitious proj¬ ects was to produce a radio program. Repre¬ sentatives of both classes discussed how D.O. has influenced and will continue to influence their lives. They also discussed why they had decided to become Diversified Occupation stu¬ dents. The bosses of several students also took part in the panel program. When Spring finally came, the D.O.’ers began enthusiastical¬ ly planning for their big banquet. This was held in the new Banquet Hall at the Mayfair Cafeteria. The theme was carried out in original decorations and favors, planned and made by the students themselves; and the program, which they were also responsible for was very entertaining.

The musicians, the publications, the teams, the clubs, the honors all give us that wonderful feeling of working together and the pride of a job well done. Yes, “We’re from Greens¬ boro, couldn ' t be prouder!” T he right thing grew more popular at Senior High as the honor code adopted hy the student body was emphasized and stressed. When the council started working on the pos¬ sibility of adopting a code at Senior, there were homeroom discussions, many private dis¬ cussions, and then a panel in assembly. This panel was led hy Mr. C. W. Phillips, and the statements and explanations hy the panel mem¬ bers stimulated many members of the student body to contribute their views. A week later the code was voted upon and adopted hy an overwhelming majority. A convenient small card with the code printed upon it was given to every student in a later assembly; and all through the year there were reminders and announcements to keep the code fresh and ap¬ pealing. During the fall the council worked to pro¬ mote better school spirit at hall games and helped to sponsor the “homecoming” activities. They sent Kelly Maness, Stewart Cass, and their adviser, Miss Dorothy McNairy, to the Student Council Congress in Albemarle, where the delegates from all over the state compared notes on accomplishments and plans. Also dur¬ ing the fall the gym was the sc ene of a “wel¬ come” party given hy the council for the students who had transferred from other school systems. This was to help the new students get acquainted with the leaders around Senior and to make them feel more at home here. The ping pong tables and the juke box that played all those records for free were the council’s contribution to more fun at lunchtime. Through their efforts the gym be¬ came a recreation room at that time every day. This year Senior High had one of the most progressive student councils in its history.

It was postponed because of snow for which boots and sledding togs were more appropriate than dainty slippers and floating net. The final dance was the Junior-Senior Prom at com¬ mencement, especially significant as the Seniors’ last high school dance. Several spring assemblies were arranged by the council. At one Rev. Kenneth Goodson was the speaker. Later assemblies provided for presentation of candidates for school and class offices, a color¬ ful nominating convention, and finally an in¬ stallation service. “Never thought,” said Kelly, Stewart, and R. B., “that we ' d dig this up when we started to clean the parking lot.” Poor Susan must have fallen into one of the “pits.” New students found an air of friendliness at Sen¬ ior. above, is a scene from the party given them hv the Student Coun- cil.

B eing tapped into Torchlight seems to be the achievement of a high goal. In reality it is the setting of an even higher goal—the real development of that “unified personality.” A tapping is always exciting; hut no one thinks about the members’ wild scramble to find out who made it. just before chapel time, or the cries of “I ' ve j ust got to have him!” The special feeling of putting on those white robes is so different from the long meeting after school when members and adviser left in the sleet and snow after even the janitor had gone, or the afternoon rehearsal where mem¬ bers “boogie-walked” up aisles holding light bulbs, and nothing went right. But Miss Mims said, ‘ •It’ll go fine tomorrow—always does”; and it was the most impressive tapping in years. This year Torchlight gave a special gift to the school—a bronze and wood plaque sig¬ nifying that our school is a member of the National Honor Society and engraved with the name of our school. PUBLIC A TIOJVS QUILL AND SCROLL 0 Henry, Greensboro’s best-known con- • tribution to the literary world, has given his name and inspiration to the Senior High chapter of the national honor society for high school journalists. The new members of this group of budding authors were selected from the High Life and Whirligig staffs after a judging of their work by a panel of English teachers. Guided by Miss Paula Abernethy, the adviser, the group soon set about their biggest task, reviewing the student literary magazine. Homespun. Saturday afternoons were spent knocking engraving plates off their wood mounts to sell as salvage to pay for the Whirligig page. A proud moment came for the new members when they were presented their pins early in the second semester. Going back to nature for inspiration are these members of Quill and Scroll. They are, first row. left to right, Miss Paula Abernethy, adviser; Marilyn Neerman, Cordelia Goodnight, Martha Burnett, Dava Cashwell, Amanda Mc¬ Connell; second row: Joe Clapp, Holly Deifell, Nancy Jo Smith, Kitten Barringer, Joyce Mc¬ Namara ; third row: Stewart Colson, and Nancy McGlamery.

Days were much the same, filled with assignments, discussions and arguments on how to improve the paper, and frequent trips to the printers. “But Mr. Elling¬ ton, we thought it would be nice if we printed the headlines right-side up this issue. And please, next time try to get the right captions and pictures together. It’s so much easier to understand them that way.” On Monday came the assignments. “So no¬ body is doing anything this week!

Aid in the sports department arrived the second semester in the form of Dickie Robinson and Jimmy Turner: and new proofreaders allowed Mary Ellen and Martha Ann time to learn about the other aspects of journalism. “No, Dick, you can’t write a news brief about the new holes in the parking lot.” Who wants to write an editorial about smok¬ ing permits for girls?” “What’s a long word for ‘procrastination’? “Who will take Mari¬ lyn to the post office to mail the exchanges?” “Lloyd, go to Southern Railway and get the Rotos.

(depending upon which clock you happen to glance at) and at once become a part of the mad rush that sweeps itself down Senior’s darkened halls thirteen times a day. Amid the early morning “study” hall babble, you desperately cram Spanish verbs, as if they were your only source of nourishment. After a few intense minutes in the realm of “las palahras espanoles,” you close your hook, none too gently, and mutter to no one in particular: “Homework! Class- work! The same thing day after day! Every teacher thinks she is the only one who ever makes an assignment! What good are they anyway?” Mrs. Pleasants gives Margie Horen an opportunity to explain some of tin fundamentals of geometry to her in¬ tent classmates. Geometry is the Finest AAININC T 83 i The Bible Council, which plans (he meetings of ihe Bible Club, confers with Miss Randolph, the adviser. This club grew out of class participation and an interest in putting some of the Bible teach¬ ings into actual practice. ‘Ff Wa A small Voice, clear as a fairy bell, says in your ear: “I’ll tell you what good they are!” “What did you say, Susie?” you say, looking up quickly, only to find said Susie en¬ gaged in an animated discussion half-way across the room. “Am I cracked? What gives?” you exclaim mentally. “Listen to me, Nut!” the Voice say im¬ peratively; and you settle down for a lengthy, yet surprisingly interesting lecture. Tommy McDonald came up with one of the most unusual Chaucer projects of the year when he put a part of the Prologue to the “Canterbury Tales” to music and sang it for the benefit of Mrs. New¬ man’s English 7 classes. “To begin with, work is the most vital ingredi¬ ent of your classroom life. Think how incom¬ plete and useless a classroom hour would be if the only two ingredients combined were teacher and student, just sitting there, with nothing to do! “Just think how much fun you’ve had doing those class projects! And don’t you know that there’s more to it than suddenly appearing before the class with an A-winning theme all prepared? But when you did write till your fingers and brain were numb, wasn’t all the work forgotten when the teacher rewarded you with that longed-for ‘Best Poem in the Class’ citation? “Think about how happy some foreign children must have been to get all of those nice gifts you and the other Bible students col¬ lected for them. . . . Some of you went to considerable trouble and expense, yet you thoroughly enjoyed it! “Remember ’way back last fall when you had that panel discussion in history? That took a lot of work, but I’ll bet you know more about the United Nations than you ever did before! “And weren’t those choir and orchestra shows wonderful? Yet I didn’t hear you com¬ plain once about spending all your spare time, and some you couldn’t spare, memorizing music! “Wasn’t it nice of those math teachers to give you geometry students a break, and let you sew for awhile! No memorizing theorems for two whole weeks! But would you have been able to do all those crazy designs if you’d never had geometry? You’re not that smart!” Left: students gain practical experience cutting stencils and running off mimeographed sheets in Mrs. Walke’s Business Machines Class. Right: these boys learn the fundamentals of printing under the supervision of Mr. Cooper. The art classes arc often called on to do some rather unusual jobs. Here they are hard at work making an artificial snowman for one of the half-time shows. At right are the future draftsmen and designers who are right now employed in Mr. Darnell’s drafting room. practical and Selthetic Share ddmph haiiS “The fans at the Reidsville game surely did like Mr. Snow.’ Getting him ready was work, too, wasn’t it? But I didn ' t hear a single grumble from you art students. And you’ll have to agree that after a year in an art class, you are better able to appreciate art of all kinds, outside the classroom as well as in. Remember way back there in your sopho¬ more year, when you butchered frogs in biology lab? ‘How detestable!’ you’re think¬ ing. But you must admit that, for most people, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to ex¬ amine a frog’s thinking apparatus first hand.” “Yes, I know, you’re probably wishing you had a half-day schedule, like some of your industrious friends. But those kids in D.O. or D.E. know what work is! After spending half a day in classes they must spend at least that many hours on the job, or maybe more. In addition to the credits earned toward gradu¬ ation, the students are paid regular wages, just as any part-time employee would be. Then, when graduation does finally come their way, they are practically assured of a job. Sounds interesting, doesn’t it?” Then, suddenly, without warning, another Voice, with a distinct South-o’-the-horder ac¬ cent, breaks in upon your mixed up con¬ science. Immediately, you recognize it as that of Maria, the young Cuban girl who talked to the Spanish classes that day last fall. “Eet ees hard to speak Engleesh. I am theenking,” this voice says earnestly. Then the light dawns. Why. of course, 1 need to w ' ork hard! And it is fun, when you get right down to it. 1 really have it easy! It must be awfully hard to have to get an edu¬ cation in a country wdiere you can hardly understand what is going on! With these thoughts, you resume your study: Huyo, huyes, huye . . . Thou marshal’st me the way that I was going.” Macbeth seems to he having a profound effect on Bill Weitzeli and his classmates in Senior English.

The accompanist is Jan Rankin. ORCHESTRA E arly in the fall the orchestra started out with serious intentions and definite plans to make this a successful year in every way, and they achieved just that. There were more members from Senior High on the all- state orchestra than from any other school. In April they brought home top honors from the state contest. They played with polish and precision on many occasions during the year. This particular orchestra will long remember concert mistress Amanda’s insistent “Y’all!”, repeated in frantic attempts to get all eighty instruments in tune with the piano for each re¬ hearsal. They will remember Jimmy Atwater’s derby hat perched on the scroll of his bull fiddle; Chip’s loud whisper for more rosin; the performance at Aycock Auditorium for the NCEA when the lights went out as they were halfway through “Over the Rainbow” and they had to finish in the dark. And per¬ haps their most vivid memory will be of their “Bottle Band” in the choir-orchestra show, when Elwood Chipchase directed them in hill¬ billy numbers. The string ensemble, top. called the Singing Strings, played for the Senior Tea at the W.C. Alumnae House. In the lower picture, El- wood’s bottle-blowers found a new and novel use for those old drink containers. Orchestra members on this page are, first row. left to right.

Jn Cjreat Ljt)emancl jor l titne St ioivs T I ' ' he march of events for the band began with their performance at the All-Star game before school opened last fall. Immedi¬ ately after opening day the band started in¬ tensive preparation for the big schedule ahead. At every seventh period sounds from the Vocational Building indicated that the band was practicing full force. But occasionally the sound of Mr. Hazelman’s “V ou saxophon¬ ists quit your goofing’ or “Did you take time out for lunch on the last rest?” came forth too. The band proudly led the string of avid fans, in every kind of conveyance, up Elm Street for the “Beat ffigh Point” parade. The color guards, Ralph Bright and Bill Sides, carried the Confederate and United States flags, which added color and dignity to the band. As one of their outstanding half-time shows, the band teamed with the glee clubs to present songs from “Carousel.” The ma¬ jorettes in pastel gowns waltzed with their escorts to “If I Loved You.” Led by drum major Jerry Eller, the band marched for all home football games and for several out-of- town games. There was a fun-packed trip to Charlotte to perform for the Shrine Bowl game. The G. H. S. Band had the field at Kenan Stadium to itself as it strutted before the crowds at the Carolina-Notre Dame half¬ time. The concert band presented a concert in November featuring “Nutcracker Suite,” and two other concerts were given in the spring. Nolly Vereen, former Senior High drummer, taught the drum section special marching cadences and trained the fife corps. A com¬ mittee of Jerry Eller. Juliana Clark. Patsy Addison, and John Gardiner wrote a con¬ stitution which, in line with the honor code, is primarily to place more responsibility upon the students. This year the band felt as if something very special in the way of a new member bad been added—Casey, for whom last spring the band members had given the Hazelmans a streamlined baby carriage. 124 Buiul members on this page are, first rotv. left to right, Harris, Paschal, E.

The majorettes are, left to right . Gloria Gilmore, Pal Leary, Carole Homey, Juliana Clark, Nancy Payne, Bobbie Jean illiams, Mary Alala, and Patty Wolfe. 126 The GHS hand has long been noted for its excellent halftime shows, as exemplified by this figure performed during the homecoming game with the Asheville Maroons. SIXTH PERIOD BAND T he sixth-period band, composed mainly of sophomores and directed by Mr. Arner, furnished an opportunity for students to get further training and practice before becoming members of the senior band. Mr. Toenes spent one period a week working with each member individually. They worked especially toward increasing their sight-reading profi¬ ciency. Their chief handicap was the “Times Square” traffic of the senior band members they had to put up with in the band room during each rehearsal. In spite of their troubles and handicaps, however, the sixth- period band improved steadily and played for assembly programs at the junior high schools and formed a part of the marching hand at games and in parades. Assistant director Mr. David Arner and cohorts, the sixth period band, are busy in a practice session. ATHLETICS Shown above is the most successful Greensboro High football team since 1948. The players are, front to back, starting at left , first row: Boh Jackson, Joe Rockwell, Louis Glascock, Lanny Voigt; second row: Claude Ward, Ronald Sams, Dave McGraw, Wayne Wyrick, Charlie Whedhee, Dick Yow; third row: Billy Wooten, Tommy Kirkman, Teddy Burchman, Charlie Davis, Banks Ritchie; fourth row: Arthur Balderacchi, Norman Odyniec, Wallace Freemon, Gary Coble, Kip Bachtell; fifth row: Jack Purgason, Herbert Taylor, Jimmy Jones, Larry Cox, David Thompson, Wes Whitworth; sixth row: Boh Purgason, John Chandler, Charlie Rayle, and Charlie Highfill. WhiJiei ane eadlined in Win CoL oiumn H ard - charging linemen, lightning - fast halfbacks, a pile-driving fullback, and a superior bench in any postion characterized the highly successful ’53 Whirlies. Jimmy Jones, all-state and all-southern center, stood like the proverbial stone wall in front of many a saddened and flattened opposing back; while other forward wall stalwarts like Coble, Cox and Highfill were always on hand to make sure. Remember Doug White ' s brilliant runs like that 65-yard touchdown punt-return against Gastonia? Or hard-hitting Dick Yow. who just couldn’t he stopped, plowing through the opposing line 21 times for 82 yards and the only score in the season ' s final game against High Point? Or Bob Jackson who threw passes for 208 yards and five touch¬ downs and who figured out the plays that 128 made the touchdowns? Or Norm Odyniec, who had quarterbacked only two plays all year and went in to swamp Charlotte 18-0. Don t forget the Salisbury game, when Boh and Jack Purgason, Yow, Jackson, Wyrick and Balderacchi all scored, and the Whirlies rolled up 413 yards to their opponents 100, and a score of 52-13. By fumbles, the Whirlies lost two conference games, one to Winston Reynolds, 0-19, and the other to Burlington, 13-14. But our team defeated all other comers, and wound up the season in a tie for second place. Jimmy Jones won the highest honor to come to any Whirlie player this year when he was chosen to he not only on the All-State Team and the All-Southern Team but also on the National Scholastic Magazines Team, lie was one of 77 players chosen from all over the 1 nited States for this honor.

Wrestling, swimming, and intramural sports form an integral part of the athletic program at Senior High. The 1953 grapplers led by Wagner, Doggett. and Neilson grabbed second place in the state championship matches, being topped only by a tough squad from High Point. The 1954 matmen, under the direction of Coach Lody Glenn, have shown great promise in that they have won all but one of their matches. Coach Pat Earey’s first team defeated the defending champions from Raleigh to win the state swimming title last year. Stewart Colson and Tony Schiffman led the club, as they drowned all opposition in the champion¬ ship meet at Chapel Hill. The Intramural sports department received widespread support, especially in tag football. The Junior Class champions outpointed all comers to take first place in the fast-moving play which comes with this unarmored type of game.

V iSv A M f|- 1 % H igh-flying Whirlies moved into the Western Class AAA championship for the third time in four years. The team lost only to Charlotte Central (65-67) and to Burlington (51-57) in conference games. In non-conference games Greensboro defeated Thomasville. Raleigh, Durham and Reidsville, losing only to Raleigh and Leaksville-Spray. Three of the players on the championship team—captain and guard Tommy McDonald, forward Waddell Solomon, and center Phil Crockett—were named on the All-Conference team; while junior forward Dave Scurlock received honorable mention. Wayne Wyrick was especially valuable at defense, and though injured and out of several games, he was responsible for the scarcity of points scored by many opposing stars. Don Patterson, Bill Weitzell, Frank Jones, and Billy Wolfe were consistently dependable substitutes, while Nor¬ man Odyniec, Banks Ritchie and C. W. Bolling could always make life miserable for the opposition. The outstanding features of this team were its close team spirit and its good sportsmanship. Key games on the Whirlie schedule were the second Charlotte and Burlington games. Stung by earlier defeats, the Whirlies exacted revenge. Working a close full-court press, they cut down league-leading Charlotte for the Cats first defeat of the season. The Burling¬ ton game turned into a rout, with the Whirlies dropping over fifty per cent of their field goals to swamp the Bulldogs 71-57. The Whirlies entered the AAA tournament in Winston-Salem full of hope for a state championship. In the opening game they de¬ feated Wilson 57-38. Then on Friday night, after leading Wilmington throughout the first three quarters, they finally lost by four points (56-52). The Whirlies played Rocky Mount on the final night, defeating the Birds to win third place in the tournament.

A n overwhelming golf team, a top-flight tennis team, and a game track club highlighted the fast-moving spring sports at GHS in 1953. Whirlie linksmen squelched all opposition to turn in a record for future teams to really shoot at in winning 11 out of 12 matches during the 1953 season. Fine green work as well as accurate driving sparked the men of pill and club as they trounced all comers, dropping a match only to Winston Reynolds by 2 points. Whirlie netmen volleyed their way to vic¬ tory in 4 out of 7 matches by clipping the wings of Burlington I twice I, Tri-City, and Danville. During the season they lost only to High Point’s Bison and the Winston Rey¬ nolds team. The dogged Whirlie cinder men, in spite of lack of proper training facilities, made records in almost every meet they entered in 1953.

BASEBALL G rass never had a chance to grow on the brand new playing field until the scrappy Whirlie nine had rolled over five dif¬ ferent opponents, one of them twice, tochalk up a 6 and 7 record for the 1953 baseball season. There were fine pitching and hitting by stars such as Jimmie Murphv. who won the most- valuahle player award, and David Thompson. The team was led by regulars like Murphv, Thompson, Jack Purgason, Ronald Sams, and Charlie Rayle; while newcomers such as Tom¬ my Nance and Cliff Penley lent their enthusi¬ asm and good right arms to the team. Whirlie haseballers tallied 62 times in thirteen games to cop fourth place in the Western AAA Conference. 1953 BASEBALL SCORES Greensboro 2 Guilford 1 Greensboro 11 Guilford 0 Greensboro 3.

Senior’s future “All- American Miss Americas” have both. Under the direction of Miss Margie Gabriel, the girls of the athletic department have participated in three competitive sports and attended several playdays, in addition to their regular classes in physical education. In the fall Senior’s speedball team with eleven members (somewhat similar to “king football”) battled Winston-Salem, High Point and Curry. The team under the leadership of Captain Jean Bateman then participated in a speedball playday in High Point. Basketball was the sport for winter, and Senior’s team with Captain Linda Moss again challenged their nearby rivals. When “spring had sprung,” softball became the big sport. The girls at¬ tended more playdays, traveling to Woman’s College and High Point to engage teams and individuals of other schools. Competitions in track events—running races, broad jumps, ball throwing—and bowling, ping pong and horseshoes were held. The girls also enjoyed learning tumbling stunts from teacher Gabe” in preparation for their final appearance of the year—the performance on May Day. These girls brought home cups and trophies from swimming meets last year. First row: B. Jamieson, Iv. Barringer, S. Roberts; bark: R. Boggs. P. Wall. A. Edwards, P.

W ll yol buy A Youth Center member¬ ship from me?” was asked many times before the membership drive ended last fall. Waddell Solomon received tile most affirmative answers to this question and won the car. The Youth Center improved greatly this year with Bill McCormick, Michael and the rest of the vouth center council working extra hard to find new ideas -these ranging from repairing pool cues to planning parties. As if in reward for all the hard work, the first event, the annual hayride. was such a success that an extra wagon had to be added and still the many members spilled over on all sides. The council worked with the social clubs to put on the annual Halloween carnival. It was a bigger success than ever with its raflles. penny pitch¬ ing, fortune telling, talent show starring Pat llelgesen doing a “hula,” and an all-male wedding with Jimmy Jones as the blushing bride. One of the most unusual parties was the “Sadie Hawkins Day” dance. That night the 144 girls did the escorting, opened the doors, helped on and off with the coats, bought the “big oranges, and asked for the dances. To make it extra had for the girls, many of the fellows kept them waiting in the living room with amused parents. The corsages the boys wore were unique. Some, because of their unusually potent odors, were accompanied with a bottle of air wick. At first, the girls were a little “stand-offish” and hesitant—but not for long. All of the dances were fun. hut the open houses after each home football game seemed to be the most enjoyable. These popular gatherings were continued after the basketball games too. Everybody piled into the Loft on those Friday nights to talk over the game, hear the latest gossip and watch Billy Stewart or Don Douglas jitterbug to the music provided by the new juke box. There was an informal Christmas dance which added to the good times of the “niftv Noel.” A sophisticated air was gained with the Satur¬ day Night Club, complete with a floor show presented by talented students. The Youth Center, in its sixth year, gave many good times to its over five hundred members. To t: Ever notice how the bunny hop makes people look like intoxicated rabbits?

With the comradeship of buddies, occasional parties, and memories of the Hallowe’en cider to spike uji the meetings, the boys always look forward to the get-togethers, and especially the ones that have such interesting speakers as Art Weiner and Dr. Claud B. Bowen. Every spring the club sends representatives to a Key Club convention; this year it met in Winston- Salem. hut the boys recalled other such ' Jlieir J eijivorcl Members of the Key Club, one of the most active service clubs at Senior, are seen at one of their weekly meetings.

Their goals are admirable and far-reaching but hard to reach, and they require boys who put their school before personal gain; who can head the line—but also bring up the rear; and who will work for the club, which in turn serves all. They sell football and basketball tickets for the Athletic Fund. Before every home game, you could see several members using their initiative and displaying their wares—cushions, for those hard stadium seats. In competition with Whirligig business stall, they sold ads to give us that indispensable Directory. G. H. S. has that special feeling be¬ fore Christmas; for, entering the front hall, you smell the delicious odor of cedar and see red balls and lights peeping out of the ever¬ green tree with the silver key over it telling of the donors. These many services which have strengthened the school are due to the Key Club Membe rs living up to their high stand¬ ards. One of the most popular guest speakers to appear at a Key Club meeting was former All-American Art Weiner. 147 LES FRERES Three Les Freres converge on a prospective customer for a program at one of the Whirlie home games. D on ' t ya wanta buy a program? How about a pennant. ’ called the boys in the blue jackets, as the crowds entered the gate and not many football fans lost their seats as a result of the Les Freres’ ushering. The money raised from these financial ventures and the Christmas cards sale has been dis¬ tributed to several deserving organizations, such as the World Service Fund and the Wel¬ fare Department. Les Freres means “the brothers,” and thes e hoys have certainly practiced the brotherhood of man as they sent staples and clothing to an outfit in Korea who in turn gave these pack¬ ages to some Korean orphans. Also they took George, a little Negro boy as their mascot who watched his favorite and now famous team win the final game of the Holiday Invi¬ tational Basketball Tournament sponsored by the “Y”. “Clean Speech Week was emphasized by the boys having a contest for the best poster on the subject and doing the daily devotionals.

LES AMIS I ndustrious is the word for the members of the Les Amis Hi-Y club. The boys, who were sophomores and seniors, devised many means to make the money which they raised for different causes this year. The club had its sights set on a goal of approximately thirty dollars for the World Service Project. Funds which were raised iu this project were dis¬ tributed to different Y’s which were not self- supporting. To obtain this money, members performed many and various tasks. Among these were the sale of balloons at football games, a campaign to collect soft drink bottles for their deposit, etc. Some members, such as club president Bob Landreth, washed cars at a buck and a half. The club also acted as a dis¬ tributor for Bessemer High School license plates, and waited on tables at Y banquets. The boys did not take up all their time with work, however, for they planned a spring semi-formal dance as their social event of the year. Les Amis officers are, clockwise around the table. Ray Gilbert, Delegate at Large; Bob Landreth, President; Bobby Hall, Treasurer; Arthur Beck, Secretary; Wayne Miller, Vice- President; and Jimmy Price, Chaplain. ALPHA OMEGA Y oungest of the Hi-Y groups is the Alpha Omega. The nineteen members organized their club and carried out all their projects enthusiastically and effectively. To raise money for a contribution to the World Service Fund, they sold bells to the more ardent fans at football games, automobile tags carrying the word “Whirlies,” and tickets for the Invit ational Hi-Y Basketball Tournament. Teams for neighboring towns and from several local Hi-Y groups, including Alpha Omega, entered this tournament. Officers of the local Junior Hi-Y chap¬ ter are, left to right.

Suddenly the peace is shattered by hot-rods pulling to a screeching halt and one hundred forty hlue-jacketed hoys jump out and surge upstairs. Invasion? No. just the weekly meet¬ ing of the DeMolay. Thi s year the Order of DeMolay reached the climax of five years of growing. A high mark to them was the buying of robes for the second degree ritual, and the receiving of first degree robes as a gift from the sponsoring Scottish Rite Body. The Mothers’ Club, the first in the state, was organized last Fall. Dean Soots, President of DeMolay, presented on behalf of his club this speaker system, to he used by the cheerleaders. Kelly Maness accepted it for the student body, while Ken Cates, Senior’s energetic head cheerleader, look¬ ed on solemnly. Tile photographers sometimes resort to unusual methods, but they always get their picture. They are, left to right. Mari ' Helen Shelburne, with assistants Mary Jane Bovdell and Boh Johnson. T hough the walls are blue, their color is unnoticed because of the portraits of important staff members from other years painted on them. They stare down at the occupants of the little room with a sympathetic expression. Along one wall is a large bookcase filled with volumes; in the center is a long table for any purpose. The city morgue? A museum? No, just the Whir¬ ligig room, setting for the preface to this “Story of Senior.” This preface became a story of our own, with characters pictured on these pages and a plot of jumbled events revolving about a dream and a struggle. Our story began with that first conference behind closed doors, a theme with “local color” and the signing of important contracts. It has its memorable quotes too: “Stewart, cut off these legs to bout right here.” . . . “Kitten, how inconsiderate can an appendix be?” . . . “How many sixteenths of an inch can I have to describe this picture?” . . . “Please. Barbara, it doesn ' t cost much.” . . . “B. J., you better feed that “wirey” dog something besides paper; looks undernourished.” “Things could be worse. I guess.” After all the staff had been “herded” into what we hoped would be a systematic, orderly routine, the action really got underway . . . that is, if some of Jabbo’s supply room workers happened not to be throwing boxes over the partition, if no one had anything to eat, or if Miss Powell wasn’t being given a birthday party. The writing of “final order” on the basketball pictures seem¬ ed to climax our story, followed by that frantic writing spree in which even the typewriters caught the fever of the approaching deadline. When the dummy (often referred to as one of us) was off to press we recuperated from “deadline blues” by dreaming of chow mein at the Ming Tree, baskets of discarded pages at the printer ' s and the happy ending—arrival of the Whirligig.

SMITH FTA CLUB T eacher shortages should disappear in a few years, for teaching as a future vocation seemed to interest a surprisingly large number of students—proof: the F.T.A. Club grew to 129 members. As the year pro¬ gressed this interest was heightened by many club activities. One of the most enlightening programs was a panel of outstanding Greens¬ boro teachers, moderated by Mr. Ben L. Smith. “Experience is the best teacher” seemed to be the slogan as many of these prospective teachers regularh visited Brooks School to observe classes and work with the children— not actually teaching, but aiding the teachers by leading songs or reading stories. Then having learned much through their activities, they exposed their knowledge in the form of an assembly program -an interesting part of which was the talk given by N. T. Hunt of the State Department of Public Instruction. As the year came to a close, the local chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma gave a tea in honor of the students planning to be the teachers of tomorrow. This social event was held at Brooks school and gave the students and their teacher hostesses a rare opportunity to compare notes informally. 107 Shown above is Mr. Anderson’s capa¬ ble book room staff.

LIBRARY COUNCIL M any interesting discussions about books and library procedures took place once each week when the thirty-five members of Senior High Library Council met. Officers were Tommy Andrews, president; Charles Woods, vice-president; Rose Whar¬ ton, secretary; and Burdette Shope, treasurer. Outstanding event of the year was their serv¬ ing as hosts to the Northwestern District Meeting of the N. C. High School Library Association during which Terry Garrison was elected president and Marcia Felt secretary for the next year. Senior High Library Council was the first one in the state to send in dues for all of its members to become affiliated with the state association. Delegates were sent to the state meeting which was held in High Point. Many honors came to members of the Council. Rose Wharton was elected most intellectual member of the Senior Class and Bootsie Fowler sweetest. Above , members of the projection crew, are, seated left to right , B. Franklin, E. Lashley, C.

TRAFFIC SQUAD N ancy Newstudent, having just added her name to that long list of fifteen hundred other scholars, waited outside the office for the third period to begin. Nancy was from a small town and rather nervous about her first day in this gigantic institution. Suddenly the hall filled with boys; short, tall, curly or crew, they seemed to have one objec¬ tive—to get their books under the nearest radiator and themselves arranged on top. Puzzled, Nancy asked an office assistant what was happening. “Why, that’s just the traffic squad getting out early.” Sure enough, when a clanging bell sounded the alarm to “beware of the halls for five minutes,” Nancy saw the boys climb down from their perches and place themselves in prominent positions near the stairs. Nancy hurried on, only to be stopped with. “You can’t go up these stairs!” About to protest, she was thankful, as students came pouring down so fast the steps seemed almost like an escalator. When she was finally safe in algebra after doors had been opened for her and directions given, Nancy could only ask herself how she could have survived those throngs without the traffic squad. Traffic was quite a problem tliis year, but these boys managed to speed it up for us. The traffic squad was composed of the following members: first row. left to right: Rudy Marshburn, Wallace Freemon, Bob Jackson, Jimmy Jones, Van Woltz, Tommy McDonald, Donnie Evans, Billy Wolfe, Don Patterson; hack row: Lee Creede, Hal McNeely, Pat Price, Bill Turner, Tommy Kirkman, David Lambeth, Buddy Birgel, Dick Yow, Harry Moore; in the right corner: Bill Weitzel, and David Scurlock. v ' A f W Jm. ■ ■ Aft v. tvrti i 1 w ' A?- Y . r m wm • m ' ' 3 Ever see such a crew of back seat drivers?

WHEEL CLUB E very morning some fifteen sleepy-eyed boys get up, hastily throw some clothes on, gulp down their breakfast, stumble out the door into their vehicles, and head into the cold, gray dawn. In the space of an hour or so, they each pick up over a hundred children and cart them off to various schools. When they finally arrive at Senior High, their base of operations, they part their school buses; and, if the day happens to be a Monday, they assemble in Mr. Anderson’s office for the regular weekly meeting of the Wheel Club. Here they hash out the problems that have arisen during the past week to make the life of a school bus driver a little bit harder. It is here, in the Wheel Club, a bus driver’s organization, that the boys carry on their campaign for safety on the streets and high¬ ways of Greensboro. While some drivers in the past had been noted for careless driving, an effort was made this year by the club to curb this, and members guilty of a serious infraction of the rules were suspended. The Jaycees and other local civic clubs showed their interest in this project, and plans for future cooperation between the Jaycees and the Wheel Club are being made.

WGPS is the radio voice of the Greens¬ boro Public Schools. At left: “Georgie” (Dale Pearce), certainly turned out to be a big headache for “Reverend Spence ’ 1 (Forbes Ramsey). At right: Speaking of headaches, “Mrs. Digby” (Alma Swinson) was capable of producing a migraine with her particular style of singing (?). Even “Georgie” suffered. PLAYMASTERS T he “masters of the play,” the make-up artists, scenery painters, and ticket sales¬ men gave a happy sigh as “One Foot in Heaven” proved to be such a success. The trials of rehearsals, sprained ankles and last- minute stage fright were forgotten after the final performance on January 14, when the entire company celebrated their hit at the home of Mary Ann Boone. Success seemed to be the password for the Playmasters under the direction of Miss Mozelle Causey. At the beginning of the year members congratulated Barbara Massey who won a national speech contest on traffic safety. Props hi publicity come in for plenty of attention when the Playmasters put on a major production. Some pretty awe¬ some spectacles are occasion¬ ally created in the make-up room below the stage. Many weeks of untiring effort went into the production of “One Foot in Heaven,” and this is a scene from one of the rehearsal sessions. Seated on edge of stage, studying lines, are Boots O’Briant and David Sox. In action on the stage are, loft to right , Ginger Brauns, George Cox, Ann Frv, Mike Teniko, Forbes Ramsey, Barbara Massev, Alma Swinson, Charles Younts, and Paddy Sue Wall. Jalent orn S uccete Soon afterward Forbes Ramsey was the win¬ ner of the city-wide “I Speak for Democracy” contest. Reggie Bell and Paula Tuttle were runners-up. After the play, speech and dra¬ matics students entered more speech contests, presenting their views on world peace, our Constitution, and traffic problems. The con¬ troversial issue of how our president should be elected was argued by the debating teams as they prepared for their anual battle with High Point and Winston-Salem. Class competition was stirred at the annual presentation of the one-act plays. The traditional cup was award¬ ed for the best play, which was later presented at the festival in Chapel Hill. The paint flies as members of the dramatic class gang up on a flat for their “One Foot in Heaven” set. MUSIC “Let ' s walk this-a-way, not that-a-way,” sing Mary Ann Thomas, David Dillard, Vivian Morgan, George Bartholomew, Sue Simmons, and Jimmy Powell, as they put on their popular act at the annual choir and orches¬ tra show, “State Fair.” CHOIR T he new choir members were a little awed as they stepped into the choir room last fall. How could they possibly sing as well as the old members? Lively Miss Tuttle, how¬ ever, soon had everyone in “good voice” with her familiar. “You can’t sing unless you support the tone!” The Civitan Club was one of the organizations for which the choir per¬ formed and did so superbly that they were invited back. The choir combined talents with glee clubs and band to present selections from “Carousel” as a half-time show at an October football game. Highlight of the first semester was “State Fair”, the choir-orchestra show, written by Miss Tuttle. For this the Queens Men became animal trainers; spon¬ sored by “Tips”, Kelly’s “Cuspidor Four from Salivary Valley” brought the house down with their version of “Knot Hole”; Mary Ann Hill and Anna Huffine played a duet “Begin the Beguine”; and Mike Temko got an encore Sk olva and Persona ( Appearances Members of the choir smile happily over their excellent performance of “State Fair.’ They are, in this picture, at piano , Mary Ann Hill; first row. left to right: Henrietta Reed, Betty Carson, Claire Jacoby, June Tew, Sue Simmons, Nan Ayers, Julie Redhead, Terry Garrison; second row: Pat Har¬ rison, Bootsie Fowler, Mary Ann Thomas, Marcia Anderson, Betty Sawyer, Mary Ann Stamper, Sue Riddle; third row: Gloria McQueen, Pat Pegram, Jo Frances Bullard, Dawn Barbour, Don Wall, Bill Turner, Bob Gamble; fourth row: Peggy Smith, Sybil Bryan, Lloyd Pugh, Stewart Cass, Tony Stone, Mac Mullis, and Jimmy Thompson. “Nature’s own wonder prod¬ uct’ was formally presented to the student body by Kelly and his boys at the annual choir and orchestra program. “Oo-oo-ooh, would you like to take a walk?” Allen and Hootsie enjoyed this number even more than the audience did. The lower picture shows June Tew singing “It’s a Grand Night for Singing.” And it really was. for true showmanship in his rendition of “Ebbtide” and his impersonation of Jam-a- dittv. After the show, the singing really began as the cast and dates “gathered ’round the old piano” at the home of Dava Cashwell. The choir blended their voices with the glee clubs to produce the beautiful music for the Christ¬ mas pageant. As the year drew to a close the Junior members prepared to say “Good-bye” to the seniors as they furnished food and entertainment for the farewell party. Their final performance together was for the bac¬ calaureate service at commencement.

ADVANCED GIRLS GLEE CLUB ft J r % y Ever wonder what music teachers do when they get together? Here Miss Eula Tuttle, director of choral music, accompanies Mrs. Virginia Toe ‘nes, assistant director, on the autoharp. 64 TYT EE ’ Ma Mah ’ Ma Mo °-’ Thus the _i_T _M_glee clubs began their daily vocalizing. Under the direction of Miss Tuttle, assisted by Mrs. Toenes and Mr. Maxwell, these bud¬ ding Jenny Linds bitched their wagons to a star labeled “superior rating.” Beginning early in the fall, the girls swept through a whirlwind of new and old songs, proving to their audience over and over that they were worthy of the acclaim given to them. Remember their arrangement of “The Virgin’s Slumber Song” in the Christmas pageant, as an example of their excellent per¬ formances throughout the year? State Contest was the highlight of the school year, when the Advanced Glee Club inevitably brought back a “Superior.” Perhaps some of you will remember those rugged rehearsals back in February when Queenie’s familiar voice would ring out with, “All right, you billy goats on the back row. Get off the back of your necks and quit mumbling! If you sing in my groups you’ll have to OPEN YOUR MOUTH! 118 The Queen’s Men—Eddie Robbins, Bill Turner, Stewart Cass, and Fritz Apple—gather around Miss Tuttle for a spirited rendering of their most popular number, “Dry Bones.” BOYS ' GLEE CLUB Lifting their voices in song are these members of the Boys’ Glee Club.

Several members of DeMolay take time out for a bull session and a few moments rest from the strenuous activities of their beach trip. This picture was taken on the second story porch of their beach cottage. As service projects, the DeMolays not only gave the public address system for sports events to the school but they also donated an exhaust fan to the Cerebral Palsy School. On the social side, DeMolays and dates en¬ joyed the annual dance at the Shriners’ Club in March and several hayrides. Besides the father-son banquet and other strictly stag en¬ tertainments, the beach trip was a howling success. There’s nothing like a Mexican hat dance to liven up the party. This one was at last year’s DeMolay Dance. 153 MARINER SCOUTS “Flying Dutchman” T he north wind doth blow, and we shall have snow, and what did the Mariners do then? Why they went for a swim! In spite of the cold this fall and winter the Mariners of the M.S.S. “Flying Dutchman” enjoyed swim¬ ming lessons at White Oak A .M.C.A. For some of these Girl Scouts it was really “learn to swim”; others worked on their strokes, while those who had already grown fins helped the beginners. All this activity was to pass off the swimming requirement in the Mariners ' Mid- shipmite rating, for which the ship worked during the year. Other activities under the leadership of Skipper Claudia McMillian were trips to Old Mill Camp to try living in the great out of doors and to develop boating skills. Jane Wharton was the troop’s nominee as delegate to an international camp in Florida. The ship’s radio was tuned to land for news of her chances. The high spot of the year will be the cruise the ship plans to take during the summer. “I see a sailor (the male type)!” cries Jean.

MARINER SCOUTS “Joseph Conrad ' L et’s get our sea legs on land” seemed to be the motto of the crew of the MSS “Joseph Conrad,” as they spent many of their Monday night meetings assembling their new collapsible boats and packing them away again. Formalities were also observed with members “boarding ship” in the strictest nautical style. Principles of navigation and knot-tying also added to these Mariners’ knowledge in preparation for several trips over the water to he taken in the spring and summer. Under the leadership of Mrs. Anne (“Sis”) Boyd the Girl Scouts made money for these expeditions by giving a combination tea and bazaar for their mothers, at Christmas. Fathers weren’t left out either; they were honored at a special Father-Daughter dinner in the spring. This year’s community project was helping children at the Cerebral Palsy Hospital. Aside from sea - faring activities, several interesting programs were held on re¬ ligious beliefs and customs. Mariners of dif¬ ferent faiths explained their beliefs and dis¬ cussions followed. SOCIAL CLUBS SYITT CLUB A fter the big week at Ocean Drive Beach where the boys made good use of sunny June days and moonlight nights, the Syitt Club began to organize for the coming year. They said good-bye to their off-to- college members and looked to their remain¬ ing charter members for this year ' s officers. With Hal McNeely as president and David, Kelly, and Henry assisting him, they held their weekly meeting at the Youth Center or the Y.M.C.A. Much business was transacted in Syitt Club officers are, left to right. Henry Turner, Secre¬ tary; Hal McNeely, President; David Lambeth, Vice - Presi¬ dent; and Kelly Maness, Treasurer.

The first party, and one of the most enjoy¬ able ones, was an informal affair at Pleasant’s Club. They made a school-wide appeal for students to help them in their main project— the collection of books for a school for men¬ tally retarded children. During the Christmas season they once again deviated from social¬ izing and “fostered” a family under the care of the Welfare Department. Taking their noses from the grindstone after mid-term exams, they let themselves go and had their “big fling.” Members escorted their dates to the Plantation Supper Club, and after a large steak dinner had settled, whirled them about the dance floor. These are the things which spell a successful year of fun, fellowship, and service for the members of the Syitt Club. 157 These pickaninnies aren ' t exactly leading a cheer, hut they create a sensation anyway.

With no thought for the weather, the cheerleaders were at every game, exhorting the cheering section to “Yell a little louder!” The Whirlies, inspired by the enthusiasm of their fans, achieved an excellent record. Several of the cheerleaders being left un¬ able to move without groaning the next day after their first strenuous practice, teaching new cheers at pep rallies, rushing to decorate the goal posts, springing into action at a signal from Ken, jitterbugging when the band played “Dragnet”—all made this a year for these cheerleaders to remember. 173 Jke pice an J3L a i or The spice and flavor in the mixture are produced by adding features, the “something special that happens only once each school year and stands out as a memor¬ able highlight, like no other.

Below are depicted the entrance ol the Holy Family into Bethlehem and the visit of the Wise Men. All is quiet in this picture of these 125-foot pre-stressed concrete beams of the new gym. But as this longest span of this type yet used in the United States went up into place last October, hordes of spectators surrounded the scene of activity. cJ ooL ” jf reuaih at S, emor D id you ever have the urge to pick up a piece of fallen plaster from the audi¬ torium floor during assembly and save it to throw at termites when they tried to sit on your lap in the old gym (in its pre-condemn¬ ation days) ? Of course things weren’t quite that bad, but Senior did have a problem with its two largest assembling places. However, not any more! The auditorium was completely rewired, repainted, and re-conditioned to fur¬ nish a more appealing setting for the countless assembly and other programs yet to come. The old gym was beyond repair, so a brand new one, apparently from outer space, has grown up to take its place. The new gym¬ nasium is the fourth largest in North Caro¬ lina. and the largest, best equipped high school gym in the state. Its construction even made national history, as its 125-foot pre-stressed concrete span is the longest ever used in the United States up to now. These beams stretch the entire Ieagth of the gym and support its roof. Four thousand people can be accom¬ modated under this roof for future basketball games. Three of llie sidewalk superintend¬ ents who “helped” the new gym rise in the world put in some over¬ time. Painters and carpenters put on their own type of production as our auditorium gets a face-lifting. GYMNASIUM AND AUDITORIUM One of the first assemblies of the year was highlighted by a most important event — a panel discussion on the honor code. The use of our new auditorium was initiated by the fall Torchlight tapping. Left: mixed reactions to the Pageant: two elves, David Nesbitt and Philip Weaver, focus their attention on the girls, while an escort betrays his nervousness with a clenched fist. Right: happ confusion reigns as court members receive their flowers in Miss Blackmon ' s office. Two historic occasions: (left) London, June 2, 1953, and (right) Greensboro, May 7, 1953. Two beautiful queens (left and above) approach their thrones to the strains of “Pomp and Circumstance.” MAY DAY — 1953 E xcitement and anticipation grew as May 6 progressed. There was worry too —and optimism: “‘Oh. it’ll clear up in time; it always has!’’ Rains came, however, and May Day was postponed. On May 7, as radi¬ ant Pat Gregg was crowned queen by student body president Bill Greene, the sun beamed upon her—something it obstinately refused to do a month later for the coronation of Eng¬ land’s Queen. The queen was crowned; and presto! the royal court became a Land of Fantasy. Fairy themes came to life in dances by members of various clubs; the nursery children became elves to pay their homage; unforgettable feats were performed by Buck Carson and Elliot Hole on the trampolin. As a finale girls’ gym classes wove their rhythmical way through the traditional May Pole dance. The beauty of May is exemplified here by our own GHS beauties. They are. front row. left to right. Sue Simmons, Frances Strother, Delaine Turner, Ben INita Black, Chris Velonis, Jane Taylor, flower girl; Betty Bell, Tommy Boothe, crown bearer; Tricia Boothe. Second row: Ann Flaherty, Gloria Gilmore, Pat Joyce, Mary Henrie Arthur, maid of honor; Pat Gregg, queen; Josie Ward, Susan Hege. Third row: Beckie Schweistris, Juliana Clark, Marian Cornelius, and Kay Wrenn. At the Faculty Tea for the seniors at commencement Mrs. A. P. limith filled cups with punch for student body leaders and the three class advisers. Left to right are Mrs. Routh, Hill Greene, Student Body President; Jimmy Armstrong;, Senior Class President; Anne Carlson, Student Body Vice-Presi¬ dent; Mrs. Kathryn Pierce, Miss Maunida Wales, and Mrs. Dorothy Darnell, Advisers for the sopho¬ mores, seniors, and juniors, respectively. COMMENCEMENT, 1953 1VT O sooner had the seniors caught their -L 1 breath after the splendor of May Day, than they were caught up in a whirl of activi¬ ties such as surround only the most popular society “debs. Amid the rush of parties, the flood of memories and plans, and the groans over expenses, examinations were almost for¬ gotten. First of the graduation events was Awards Day. As awed sophomores and hope¬ ful juniors watched, into the hands of many deserving seniors were placed cups, medals and scholarships. The next week the new Whirligig arrived and was duly autographed while rehearsals for Class Day were underway. Class Day brought many laughs and the first few tears, as seniors suddenly began to realize that their book of high school memories was really closing. Immediately following the Class Day pro¬ gram, the seniors went to the luncheon an- Billy Hiatt poses with the O. Henry Cup, which he won for writing the best short story. 186 nually prepared for this day. That and the Junior-Senior prom they could really enjoy with light hearts, as exams were completely behind them. Then on Sunday night they were inspired by the impressive Baccalaureate Service conducted by Dr. John A. Redhead at the First Presbyterian Church. The next week they went in their most charming attire to the Faculty Tea in their honor at the Alumnae Houe, Woman’s College. But their dignity seemed to have deserted them completely as they chattered, giggled and complained through their practice for Graduation. May 28, the climax of three happy years, finally came. When, after Reverend Kenneth Goodson’s ad¬ dress. they stood with diploma in hand and sang for the last time together their Alma Mater, their smiles were somewhat dimmed by tears. Kill ( Jreene and Chris Velonis show their pride and happiness as Mr. Routh announces their names as those of the “Best All-Round Seniors.” Superintendent B. L. Smith beams at some graduating senior’s proud parents in the midst of the after-graduation rush to get on with the cele¬ brating. At this unique moment in their lives, seniors pause in groups to prolong the in¬ evitable parting. The ratio of smiles to tears seems about even. | —V ' 1953 Alcohol Essay Contest Bob Jamieson Football Bnietz-Hazelman Cup Civitan Best Citizen Civitan Best Essav D.A.R. Award D.A.R.
