Grimsley High School - Whirligig Yearbook (Greensboro, NC)

Text from Pages 1 - 240 of the 1955 volume:

Here is your 1955 Whirligig It’s not just a record of our year together here but also an interpretation of what Senior High has been — and what its spirit has meant — to each of us. 3 tkz 1935 iiKr ; To you who are the Spirit. . There ' s a fiber threaded through the fabric of our days at Senior High . . . To the pattern and the texture it gives a permanence. To the color and design it lends a vivid gleam. It gives us strength ive need to go that second mile; Its force will hind us altvays, though we part. There ' s a flame that lights the lustreless gloom of icork and worry . . . On tiresome chores of homework it sheds its gloiv. To aching weariness of football practice it brings its cheering lift; Through hours of toil to meet a deadline, or polish a speech It lends a s ark of inspiration. It spreads its light to banish the shadows of dissension, To teach us how to help and how to share. There ' s a song that spreads its melody through all the ugly noise . . . It brings its harmony to discords of clashing wills; Above the whine of excuses there flows its lilting note; Sounds of discouragement and discontent are lost in its lovely tune. It sings to give our march a rhythm and a lilt, To keep us all in step along the way. And so . . . to this Spirit of Senior High — the fiber, the thread, the song — and to those who cherish it: Every member of its faculty and student body, We dedicate this 1955 WHIRLIGIG. 6 In newspaper editorials, at pep rallies, along the halls, in class, some¬ times—everywhere we turn we hear the words school spirit. But what is it ? Certainly the spirit at a football game seems different from that in a classroom. Yet they are the same. Our special brand of GHS spirit is the reason why girls cry at commencement, why 1700 faculty and student members of our school give their enthusiastic support to every school activity, why many give that extra time and effort to surpass the average, to achieve the difficult. In designing this book we ... A Spirited Story of our Year have tried to s ive y° u more r J J than pictures and copy, more than a mere record of events and achievements. We believe that our school, far more than buildings, routine, and things, is people and the feeling they share in greater and lesser degree. In these pages we attempt to interpret the GHS spirit as it weaves itself into the pattern of our school every single day. 9 1 jl I ■3F Being a friend; It’s the teachers Giving tirelessly to lead, To inspire, to open doors; It’s students, casual Or serious, avid to know, Eager to speak; It’s people with hopes, Anxieties, dreams.

In spite of the press of countless responsibilities, they unselfishly assume even more responsibility in planning for the progress of our schools. This year they worked out re¬ ports and arrangements necessary for the $6,000,000 bond election to help finance our schools for several years. For Senior High they had the new gym completed and equipped and clothed our stage in handsome new curtains. Farseeinq administrators o and board serve the community Mr. P. J. Weaver, Director of Instruction, and Mr. B. L. Smith, Superintendent of Greensboro Public Schools, join Mr. A. P. Routh, Senior High School Principal, to watch the state champion Whirlies in action. These school officials and board members take a very serious view of their many problems and projects. At a regular monthly meeting are, left to right, Mr. J. C. Cowan, Dr. Raymond A. Smith, Mrs D. M. Brown, Secretary B. L. Smith, Mr. P J. Weaver, Chairman D. E. Hudgins, Attorney R. F. Moseley, Mr. J. R. Foster, Mr. Howard Holderness, Dr. D. D. Jones. 16 Principal A. P. Routh ; adept organizer .; j most ial fan of every school activity Washington. This year they went with the band to Chicago in December and to New Orleans with the choir in March. He is a good friend of every student and teacher and a dynamic force behind Senior’s success in so many fields. Senior ' s principal, Mr. A. P. Routh, is far more than a mere administrator. For among the myriad duties and responsibilities of running a school the size of ours, he always finds time for giving advice and helping students and teachers get more pleasure and profit from school activities. With Mrs. Routh he takes busloads of students to many athletic events, far or near; and every year they take the seniors on a four-day tour of Mrs. Routh is as constant and ardent a Whirlie fan as Mr. Routh. All other Senior High activities get the same friendly attention from both. Band President Bob Cowan presents Mr. Routh a gift from the band as part of a half-time show in his honor. Mrs. Nellie Kate Blackburn, Dean of Students, seated; Mrs. Margaret Malone, Secretary; and Mr. L. W. Anderson, Assistant Principal, give Mr. Routh indispensable help in running Senior High efficiently. Senior High ' s faculty, organized as a club, has these officers: left to right, Mrs. Margaret Garrett, President; Mr. R. L. Glenn, Vice-President, and Miss Rowena Montague, Secretary-Treasurer. Senior High’s faculty has grown in number and variety of responsibility as the student body has increased. This year there were sixty-eight teachers, all of whom lived by a very full sched¬ ule which included many school activities, civic responsibilities, and a little time now and then for just being sociable. As a faculty club they had several meetings to get better acquainted, to improve departments and instruction, and to welcome new members to the group. First of these get-togethers was a party honoring new teachers. The hilarious program, full of the teachers’ private jokes on each other, would have furnished students material for perpetual blackmail. Several teachers enjoyed the trips with student groups to Chicago, New Orleans, and Wash¬ ington this year. At commencement the faculty tea for seniors carried on a very pleasant faculty- student tradition initiated several years ago. Students don ' t monopolize school spirit—teachers share it with them Miss Louise Smith, left, is swamped with pleas to enroll in her English 7 classes. These teachers, below, chaperoning one of the school dances, are able to give their full attention to their job. Could it be that teachers are more popular on registration day than at dances?

Mr. Glenn had as much fun playing in the faculty-student game on Careers Day as his fans had watching him. Misses Montague, Wales and Matthews, left above, have enough energy after a day at school to enjoy cooking their dinner. Above right: The terrific strain of watching from sidelines earns every return, from verbal beatings to new cars and television sets. Below: Faculty meetings are serious business. Here Director of Special Education Dr. John R. Peck tells the teachers how to help the unusual child. Winifred Louis Moore 1886-1954 Mr. W. L. Moore, born in Danville, Virginia, on January 16, 1886, was the machine shop instructor at Senior High School from January, 1944, to October 9, 1954, when his going suddenly left a great void in our midst. Mr. Moore was a Christian gentleman, gracious and considerate, with a keen sense of humor and a gentle wit. He always took seriously everyone else ' s importance, but never his own. No one could have endeared himself more deeply to his fellow teachers and to his students. 24 Parents and teachers go after solution to many student problems Commanders of the P-TA forces are Mrs. J. Dan McConnell, First Vice- President; Mr. H. H. Jordan, President; Mrs. M. B. Bennett, Second Vice-Presi¬ dent and Program Chairman. Raising and supplying funds for a scholar¬ ship, welfare work, Whirligig and other projects for the benefit of students kept this year’s P-TA busy. Being co-sponsor of Col¬ lege Day took a lot of time, effort and money, and these were adequately furnished. With the closing of the Youth Center the P-TA organized afternoon instruction in bridge, dancing and photography. At frequent board meetings and five large group meetings dur¬ ing the year, parents and teachers planned and worked together to help solve as many student problems as possible. P-TA Board members and school leaders enjoy lunch together in the home economics laboratory. They are, around first table, Mrs. T. C. Hoyle, Miss Lucille Browne, Jimmy Jordan, Mr. A. P. Routh. Second table: Mrs. Henry Sikes, Mrs. C. C. Harmon, Mrs. M. B. Bennett, Mrs. K. H. Boydell, Mrs. Richard Dunn, Mrs. J. H. Rountree Standing: Sue Simmons, Mrs. Arthur Burnet, Mrs. Nellie Blackburn, Mr. H. H. Jordan. 25 Classwork broadens our horizons ; makes us aware of our roles in the world Five majors? Three study halls? Two lunch periods? Mr. Routh hears rea¬ sons for them all with an open mind. Think of all the weighty knowledge these book- room boys have handled. Mr. Anderson ' s workers distribute the text books at the beginning of each year. The diploma is up there waiting. Looking ahead, past the moment of grasping that tangi¬ ble proof of years spent learning and growing, Senior High Sam” turns also to gaze backward for a moment. He begins to realize the vital part his classroom experiences have played in help¬ ing him step from childhood to maturity. How strange Senior High was after the shel¬ tered security of junior high! Wide halls, rushing hordes, and heavy books were at first overwhelming. Sam, like the other sophomores, felt lost and confused; but student council mem¬ bers explained regulations and showed him the way around. He was in. It didn ' t take him long to know that studying, though not his favorite, must be his chief pas¬ time. He spent hour s searching woods for seemingly extinct biology specimens, only to have Mrs. Blackburn mistake his final diagram of the amoeba for one of the human liver. In algebra quadratic equations turned out to be fun and very stimulating. While in English Silas Marner took him to a strange but very real world, widening his understanding of people. 26 Ancient Hebrew? No, it ' s only the more modern heiroglyphics she is learning in shorthand class. Bridging the gap Sophomores learn of the rise, decline, and fall of the Roman Empire in Mrs. Mary Madlin ' s Latin classes. from childhood to maturity ; we grow from comics to classics A book review on Monday ... a report on Benjamin Franklin on Wednesday . . . What would we do without our well-stocked library? 27 Courtesy ; cooperation , good citizenship assume new worth In speech class and competition of speech con¬ tests he acquired enough poise to offset trem¬ bling in voice and knees. Building a Roman house for Latin and J.C.L. made him appreciate the ancient peoples. Bible projects brought him a deeper understa nding of the meaning of the Scriptures and encouraged higher ideals. He was growing. Junior year brought new responsibilities. He was no longer content to coast along, and through competition his ambitions grew. During his sophomore year he had developed courtesy and cooperation in the class rooms; now he discovered a new respect for learning and a new loyalty for teachers. Geometry entered. Though Euclid could be very difficult at times, Sam subdued him and managed to prove his share of theorems at the board. Typing was a useful subject, for auto¬ biographies and term papers were to come, and all kinds of new opportunities opened up for the one who could type. A typing class is enslaved by Miss Rowena Montague ' s watch during a speed drill. Miss Ida Belle Moore ' s trig classes behold new worlds opening before them in the realm of higher math. Cleveland and Miss Margie Gabriel ' s girls ' physical education classes learned something more about baseball in September, 1954. We learn lessons in relationships: loyalty to teachers ; respect for learning , tolerance for others ' beliefs In history he traveled far and wide, learning how much we owe our ancestors. And though he could list the causes of the Punic Wars, he was ignorant of today’s affairs until a class in current events brought him up-to-date. Creative writing was painful when he had to listen to his creations torn to pieces by the class; yet before it was over he was planning a writing career. In glee club and orchestra he found a love for music; and physical educa¬ tion gave him all kinds of opportunities to show his sportsmanship, learn to enjoy games, make new friends. The joy of creating and the valuable prize he won for a design were only part of the rewards his woodworking class brought to him. He was beginning to find out how to enjoy living and working with other people. A rather complex experiment fascinates the members of Mr. Jack Luttrell ' s chemistry class. One of the most nervous men at Senior High School is Corporal Ernest Sewell, who teaches the student driver training course. Finally his senior year and a new sense of belonging came. Now Sam knew his class¬ mates and valued their friendship. With them he learned to drive sensibly and ably; and in language classes he had fun talking in an¬ other language with them. Together they Foreshadowing our future ; memorized Whan that Aprille . . and in chemistry they worked together over their fascinating witches ' brews. ' Mrs. Jessie Belle Gorrell ' s Spanish classes learn by board drill as well as by conversation in Spanish. 30 class experiences mold and influence us Laugh and learn seems to be the policy in Miss Joanne Scott ' s English class. With them he admired girls who made their own clothes in home economics and showed promise of becoming efficient wives. Sam had learned much that was practical. He had also learned much that would make life richer for him. As he went to get his diploma, he knew that he was already well on the way to future usefulness. Members of Mr. Stanley Johnson ' s physics class meet everything from worksheets to the theory of relativity with calm composure. The Seniors headed bv capable leaders found their final year the most rewarding yet in all phases of school life. Officers ore Tip Noe, Treasurer; Rita Boggs, Secretary; Rob Pearce, President; Paddy Wall, Vice-President; and Miss Estelle Mitchell, Adviser. The Senior Class exemplifies CHS spirit at its highest peak For the Class of 55 graduation is no longer a dream, but reality. Reminiscing, we think of days which had no particular meaning at the time, but now become days of treasured memories—the superior feeling we had, sit¬ ting in the center section of the auditorium, as we watched sophomores craning around huge columns, the nervous excitement as our friends were tapped into Torchlight, the tremendous thrill as our star halfback sprint¬ ed seventy-five yards for a touchdown, and the overwhelming realization that there would be no more senior class, Washington trips, class days, teas, luncheons, or gradua¬ tion nights just like these for us. The clang¬ ing lockers, band and orchestra practicing for Spring contests, voices of the choir swelling as they sang the Battle Hymn of the Re¬ public, stamping feet as the bleachers shook in the gym, the cry of despair — But I haven’t even started my term paper!”—these familiar sounds will re-echo in our minds whenever we stop to remember. Our hearts will always beat faster when we hear the school song, or when we catch a glimpse of a certain person, a certain place, a certain picture that forms an unbreakable link in our chain of high school memories. At the Homecoming gome on Octo¬ ber 29 Chris Velonis, Bill Greene, Frances Strother, Kelly Maness, Homecoming Queen Kay Wrenn, and Jimmy Jordan were more interested in a spectacular fire works half-time display than in their admiring audi¬ ence.

In May 1955 Juniors look back with satisfac¬ tion on the place we have made for ourselves at Senior High. From the first we plunged into every school activity open to us. One of our moments of pride this year was when our Thanksgiving Pageant turned out to be so colorful and so impressive. We whizzed through our projects to raise our yearbook fund and sallied forth on several nights to sell our stationery and Christmas wrapping from door to door and stuff our treasury for future needs. Dozens of us went to Chicago in December with the band and to New Orleans in March with the Choir. We had our share of All-State orchestra members; and Torchlight tapped several of us to be the nucleus of next year’s Torchlight chapter at Senior High. 59 What is Senior High ' s School Spirit that we name with glowing Elizabeth Whitehead Adams Laura Elizabeth Adams John Charles Albaugh Fred Herbert Alton Bruce Paul Ammons Judy Anitra Ammons James Lawrence Andrews Lisa Carolyn Anderson Gayle Thornton Apple Charlotte Ann Armstrong Johnny Lambeth Atwater, Jr. Alan George Atwell Elizabeth Ann Austin Jerry Lamar Austin John Everette Baber Carole Louise Barber Vivian Maxine Bare Linda June Barham Talmadge Austin Barnette Cassandra Shaw Barton Virginia Vanstory Bass Robert Batchelor Carrie Ruth Bates Jeanne Battle Elizabeth Beal Barbara Ann Beaver Walter Lee Beavers Arthur Paul Beck George Reginald Bell Marjorie Ruth Bell Neil Carson Benson David Herbert Bescherer Lynda Louise Biddy Junie Faye Blake Joanne Lee Bloom .-i r: r- Edgar Leon Boggs Margaret Young Booker Doris Fay Boyd Edna Earl Bradshaw James Arthur Brame James Brewer Samuel White Bright Maurice Giles Bristow Janet Lorene Britt Floyd Marvin Brookbank Margaret Ann Brooks Betty Jean Brown 60 pride as we go to cheer the Whirlies ; as we labor side by side?

Some of the plebeians said that after paying so many book fees and filling out so many sched¬ ule cards they felt like some mechanical device. And, being true sophomores, they were primarily baffled by locker combina¬ tions and elusive third floors and elevators. Their first report card brought them a really big shock. But when they attended their first pep rally and sang the Alma Mater, they felt that now they really belonged at Senior High. The Torchlight tapping in December was deeply thrilling and impressive. But when the band left for Chicago it was even more thrilling to see that several sophomores were also included in the group that was to do and learn so much on that unforgettable trip. Under the guidance of their class adviser, Mrs. Kathryn Pierce, the sophomores were prompt in raising their $200 for Whirligig. By selling pencils imprinted with football and later basketball schedules, and by peddling Christmas cards to all the homerooms, they learned to carry out plans on a grand scale. Spring initiated them into the additional mysteries of semester examinations and Senior ' s collegiate-type registration. Some of them took part in various assembly programs and even in May Day. Thus, as new stores of literature, history, science and the arts opened to them, they were also busy in many ways that were changing them from the shy and uncertain group of September to a more mature and accom¬ plished class. Eagerly exploring new fields , the Sophomores plunged right into Senior High) activities A hardworking and enthusiastic soph¬ omore class was led by efficient officers, who are, seated, Elizabeth Sutton, Secretary; Phillip Causey, Vice- President. Standing: Mrs. Kathryn Pierce, Adviser; Bill O ' Brien, Presi¬ dent; Jack Jessup, Treasurer. 70 SOPHOMORES David Carson Abbott James Rogers Adams Richard Millikan Aderhold Jo-Anne Adkins William Douglas Albright Joseph Bradley Anderson Sarah Margaret Andrews Elizabeth C.

Sue Simmons, Vice-President; Gail Kirkman, Secretary. Second peep: Jimmy Jordan, President; Bob Cowan, Traffic Chief, and Dick Robinson, Treasurer. Beautiful Kay Wrenn, Homecoming Queen, escorted by Jimmy Jordan, was the main attraction as she appeared on the football field Alumni Night. The Student Council is powerful in crystallizing student opinion Every Tuesday at 2:35 Jimmy Jordan was rapping his gavel to start the Student Council on another hour of constructive thinking, discussion, and planning. The council had many responsibilities and all year its members were busy with programs, projects and special events. The Sophomore elections, the Home¬ coming game, Career Day, the Midwinter Dance, and school elections in the spring were all part of the council’s responsibility and proof of their sincere efforts to keep Senior High’s morale high and the atmos¬ phere wholesome and friendly. U. N. C. Chancellor Robert House made the keynote speech at the assembly on Career Day, which was arranged by the council. Student leaders were Sue Simmons, Wayne Griffin, and Jimmy Jordan. Faculty co-sponsors were Miss Mary E. Blackmon and Miss Dorothy McNairy. Our hard-working student council pauses long enough for a picture.

In October Jimmy Jordan and Sue Simmons went to the state student council convention in Shelby. They came back with new and enthusiastic ideas and a new outlook. One of the problems the council tackled this year was that of transferring the tradi¬ tional May Day exercises indoors, with the queen being crowned at the senior prom. Beginning with the program to introduce the Honor Code to sophomores early in September, the council never ceased its efforts to keep the Code effective and to maintain sportsmanlike conduct at all games and school events. The entire school joined with the Student Council in wishing the maids and janitors a happy holiday by giving them their Thanksgiving dinner. Shakespeare would never recognize this version of his Romeo and Juliet, featured in the 1954 Torch¬ light Talent Show. A firm hand placed on his shoulder marked one’s exciting beginning as a member of Torchlight, National Honor Society. At the fall tapping sixteen Seniors judged outstand¬ ing in leadership, scholarship, service, and character were chosen by their fellow students and the faculty. Becoming a member of Torchlight was more than just the honor of being tapped. It brought new and challenging responsibili¬ ties, for Torchlight is an active organization from September to May. This year they served Members of Torchlight, pictured immediotely after the fall tapping ceremony, National Honor Society are, First Row, left to right, Susan Graham, Eugenia Hickerson, Sue Simmons, Sally Durham, Terry Garrison, Betty Sink.

Outstanding students are rewarded with membership in Torchlight as hosts at the successful College Day. In addition to several picnics and parties, spring brought the annual Torchlight Talent Show, the proceeds from which went to a scholar¬ ship for a worthy senior. In March, members nervously memorized speeches for the spring tapping and counted votes with great secrecy. At graduation receiving a diploma sealed with the Torchlight emblem was one more reward for all the efforts to excel. Two friends share a deep thrill as Susan Hege leads Sue Simmons to the stage.

Its production was in capable hands, for these editors had won membership in this literary honor society only through excellent work on either the High Life or Whirligig and a flair for writ¬ ing.

Early in the fall all of the co-op groups joined in a get-acquainted party at Camp Herman. Soon afterward the D.O.

Their assembly program with the other co-op groups in March was their opportunity to enlighten the student body and to advertise the D.O. Trades pro¬ gram. As a sort of reward for growth in ex¬ perience and maturity, they enjoyed the Bosses’ Banquet on March 15. This they helped to plan and make a real success.

Joanne Plott, who had won the district convention speech contest at High Point in November, participated in the state contest. Nancy Lou Way was a contestant in the job application contest.

The club prepared posters, did silk screen processing, and held exhibitions for several community organizations. Programs by various artists in Greensboro brought the world of art into the club on a practical basis. They heard speakers discuss commercial art, art in industry, illustration, and fashion de¬ sign. The club also had programs on art as a cultural attribute and, to broaden their vistas, programs concerned with other arts such as the dance and movies.

In its four years of existence at Senior High School, the Ben L. Smith F.T.A. Club has served well its purposes of encouraging, in¬ forming and recruiting. There were 7 1 ) mem¬ bers this year, over seven times as many as when the club was organized. Early in the fall the club assembly was so appealing that a large part of the student audience refused to leave the auditorium when it was over. The magnet was Miss North Carolina, Betty Jo Ring from Lexington, whose autographs they demanded. She is a teacher who came to bear vivid witness to the fact that teachers do have glamour and beauties have brains. In her talk she recommended teaching as a pro¬ fession to anyone with a genuine love for people and an interest in helping others. As a project the club compiled information about how many former members are pre¬ paring in college to be teachers.

Then, down the halls and stairways came the students. Five minutes later, the confused sophomores and obstinate juniors and seniors had been directed to their classes and all was quiet. Even on rainy days, with traffic jams and everyone racing against the tardy bell, the squad managed to keep everything moving in some direction, and prevented major casualties. The students elected Bob Cowan to head this fearless band. Steve Arthur, assistant traffic chief, and Mr. Donovan Darnell, ad¬ viser, assisted Bob in his earnest efforts.

While they worked and per¬ fected their technique, Don Wall, Michael Hayes, and Susan Hege accepted the re¬ sponsibility of heading the projects for rais¬ ing money for the trip. Sally Durham broke all records with her first order for 979 dozen doughnuts, which were sold all over town by footsore choir members. Margie Earl headed a baby-sitting group, while Mac Mullis went into the car-washing business. Charlie O ' Brien took charge of a group of boys selling Christmas trees; and Bob Mc¬ Connell and helpers raised their part of the money by collecting and selling tons of scrap paper.

The entire trip to New Orleans was one grand mixture of impressions, with pride and happiness predominating even over the weari¬ ness. The choir won new fame for our school’s music program and gained valuable experience in planning and carrying through a project of enormous difficulty. to be directed by one of the nation’s finest choral leaders, Dr. Lara Hoggard. Of the choir’s many local programs, outstanding were the Christmas program, Spring Festival, Band and Choir Show. However, the choir year consisted of much more than a trip, for from their October debut at an Exchange Club luncheon meet¬ ing to Baccalaureate they kept singing every type of music from Barefoot” to Salva¬ tion Is Created.” At Spring Festival they joined a thousand aspiring young musicians from all over the state at Aycock Auditorium, The fund for the New Orleans trip grew with every tree sold by Choir members.

Harriman, Director; Mr. Robert Fredrickson, Assistant Director; Katherine Leonard, Head Librarian; Susan Leonard, President and Concert Mistress; Bob Grant, Vice-President. The orchestra year included a welcoming party for sophomores and a housewarming for Mr. Fredrickson; otherwise their activi¬ ties were not primarily social. They rehearsed busily for concerts and all-state events. The string section that supplied soft background music at the senior tea at the 1954 com¬ mencement and the e ntire orchestra as it played in assembly at a fall program dem¬ onstrated the superiority of the orchestra members’ skill. But this was more truly and completely in evidence at the All-State Or¬ chestra meeting in Winston-Salem in Janu¬ ary. Thirty-one Greensboro members were invited to play—the largest group from any of the eleven schools participating. Susan Leonard, Ann Cole, Marsha Felt, and Kath¬ erine Leonard won top positions in this Orchestra. The All-State Orchestra spent two gruelling days of intense rehearsal and gave two concerts in Winston-Salem, one for the students at Reynolds High and a second for the public.

This picture was taken just before the band ' s trip to give a Duke football half-time show. its way to new superiority ; greater honors In April the news came—the band was in¬ vited to the Midwest Band Clinic at Chicago in December. From then on through the summer the instrumentalists worked hard and long, preparing for the concert there. The popular half-time shows were made more interesting by the insertion of the twin sixties, two complete marching units. Shows were based on anything from Broadway musicals to a biographical sketch of Mr. Routh. Trim-liveried color guards, prancing majorettes, and dignified drum majors led the pre-game and half-time festivities. Hours of afterschool practice made these near-per¬ fect shows possible. The band gave two fall concerts, each very clear evidence of the months of intense prac¬ tice. In December they sponsored the Navy Band Concert, for which the band members sold tickets enthusiastically. And no wonder, for the profit from the sailors ' concert went into the Chicago fund. As months passed, the band made frenzied final preparations for the long-awaited trip. Then came the day; excitement, confusion, and unrestrained happiness ruled. Thirty An afternoon marching band rehearsal for a half-time show progresses under the steady beat of a drum major. Everyone is attentive as the strains of the Alma Mater come from the boxed G. The band showed its appreciation for Mr. Routh ' s co¬ operation in their projects by having the majorettes present him a gift at the end of a biographical half-time show. Marching bands half-time shorn are clever and colorful hours later: excitement, confusion, and hap¬ piness yet, but tired, bleary-eyed people also. Then followed rigid rehearsals, big meals, parades through Yankee land with Con¬ federate colors flying bravely in the icy wind. At last, the big moment! A burst of ap¬ plause, a gradual calm, an encouraging word from Mr. Hazelman, a firm downbeat, and for two and a half hours young musicians poured their very hearts and souls into a tubular piece of wood, brass or silver, or a tight piece of animal skin. Afterwards came Momentarily forgetting their instruments, band members use well-trained lungs to cheer the on-marching team. Band) reward for excellence is invitation to Midwest Band Clinic the flood of emotions -—■ pride, happiness, utter relief. The following days were a blur of expedi¬ tions—the Breakfast Club, a sightseeing tour, a luncheon, the tedious ride home and the glorious welcome. A great adventure had ended for 115 tired people. The rest of the year was practically an anti-climax. There was the usual state con¬ test with numerous Superior ratings, spring concerts, and that last wonderful party, to conclude the year in the grand style to which the band seems to have become accustomed.

Led by their burly hard charging linemen, the nimble Whirlie backs raced over for a total of 224 points to make this their best season since 1946 and to win the state crown. The champion Whirlies employed vicious pre¬ cision blocking to help fleet all-state Doug White get loose for his repeated scoring runs. Halfback Lou Glascock, tricky quarterback Norman Odyniec, another all-stater, and full¬ back Dave Thompson were also effective with their drives through opposing tackles and guards. Although the backfield play was outstand¬ ing, an equally decisive factor in the Whirlie success was the line. Averaging slightly under 200 pounds apiece, the line could knock over tacklers like ten-pins.

Greensboro opened the 1954 season by dumping Raleigh (20-7) and Durham (30-12) in two non-conference games. Changing to conference competition, the Whirlies defeat¬ ed Charlotte (24-12), Gastonia (12-7), Asheville (13-0) and arch-rival Winston Reynolds (27-13). After a non-conference tie with AA champion Reidsville (6-6), the Whirlies got back in stride by beating Salis¬ bury (20-12). Then by overcoming neighbor High Point (27-6) and hapless Burlington (25-0), the Whirlies wound up their first undefeated season in seven years. Here Senior High Athletic Director Robert B.

However, the inspiration of the gleaming new floor and the added space for fans was not quite enough to bring the boys through the season with better than third place in the conference. It was a season of ups and downs, but with outstanding players and fifteen victories out of twenty games. Top scorers were Ichabod” McCranie, with 422 points, and Dave Scur- lock, with 346 points. Frank Jones was out¬ standing in some games, helping mightily to add up the over 1200 points scored by Greensboro against their opponents’ 991. For spirit and enthusiasm Norm Odyniec stood out.

It was almost worth the losses to hear the announcer praise our boys as such ' per¬ fect gentlemen. Though they ended in fourth spot in basketball, they cinched first place in the eyes of their admirers. Individual state championships won by swimmers and wrestlers The basketball season was hardly underway before Coach Patrick Earey’s swimming team had added its foaming splash and flailing arms to the 1954 sports sights and sounds. The 1954 swimmers stroked their way to a first-place tie and four individual state championships during last season. Senior Stewart Colson was state breast-stroke cham¬ pion, while junior Tony Schiffman grabbed both 100 and 200-yard free style crowns. The free style relay team of Hubner, Macintosh, Holton, and Oliver was the top relay team in the state; and junior Bob Sawyer was champion in the 200-yard backstroke. Coach Lody Glenn’s wrestling team piled up a 6-2 record in 1954, beating every team in the conference except state champion High Point.

As April showers turned the soccer held into a morass, the 1954 golf, tennis and track teams waded into their respective seasons. The third-place golf team won eight out of twelve matches. Led by Ed Sweetman, Gene Smith, and Ed Morrissett, the team, with pin¬ point chipping and deadly putting, deserved the respect of their opponents. They failed to play their usual fine golf in the state tournament at Chapel Hill, however. Loss of one of their best players, Johnny Hughes, early in the season prevented a much better record. Handicapped by lack of a proper track, the Whirlie track team did not hold any track meets here but participated in five quadrangular meets, coming out third in each. They finished fifth in the state meet. Junior Dave Scurlock set a new state high school record for the 880-yard run.

It is really modified football for girls, and in learning it the girls began to understand the real game a little better. In late autumn, a visitor to the girls’ gym would have been amazed to see students swathed in bandages and being carried about on blanket stretchers amid many giggles. But this only Girls ' sports at Senior High identified the first aid classes. Many later wished tumbling had come before first aid, as such a succession of aching backs and bruised bones had never been felt. Soon after the tumbling some of the girl athletes began Miss Margie Gabriel, better known as Gabe, directs the activity for the girls ' physical education classes.

One of the highlights of the season was a smashing 36-26 win over High Point. The girls’ swim¬ ming team, working all year under Coach Jamieson, made a successful trip early in February to the Southeastern swimming meet at Decatur, Georgia. A year filled with fun and accomplishment for sports-minded girls was climaxed by the annual All-State playday at Woman’s College.

As a self-supporting organization, they render many useful services to the school and community. Monday night was the desig¬ nated time for meetings held at the Central Y.M.C.A. There members discussed their projects such as selling cowbells at football games, Whirlie” car tags, and Christmas trees, to raise money so that they might sponsor a needy family at Christmas. They combined fun with service, however, as they celebrated the coming of spring with a big party. Through belonging to this club, each boy has developed higher ideals of service and good citizenship. Senior members are, first row, Kip Bachtell, Dave McGraw. Second row: Harvey Knox, Bill Hunter.

Les Aims work on many projects ; form lasting friendships Under the leadership of Bob Hall, Les Amis Hi-Y Club has had a year of service and fun. The juniors and sophomores who make up theclub held weekly meetings at theY.M.C.A. With service as one of their main objectives, the boys helped needy families and held an extensive campaign to interest other boys in the recreational work of the Y. Good times were plentiful, as Les Amis gave many in¬ formal parties and participated in such activi¬ ties as swimming and basketball. In the spring a great honor came to the club when President Bob Hall was selected to attend the Y.M.C.A. recreational conference in Europe in the summer of 1955.

C. Here they gained useful informa¬ tion for improving their club. A talk by Skinny Brown, pitcher for the Red Sox, high¬ lighted an interesting meeting. Every time you bought a pennant or a football pro¬ gram from one of the members you helped finance one of the club projects. Smiling marshals are indispensable at school functions Lovely white dresses and handsome blue suits identified our marshals at most school functions. These friendly juniors distributed programs and escorted people to seats at both school and civic activities. They were indispensable at band concerts, plays, Civic music programs, special assemblies and the all-important graduation exercises of their senior class friends. Their adviser, Miss Rebecca Frazier, was always on hand to adjust a blue and white ribbon and to give last-minute instructions.

A successful year began for the Greensboro DeMolays with the installation of officers in October. Then the boys undertook a number of service projects, paid for by selling light bulbs, waxed paper and Christmas tree lights. On December 29-30 came their fourth an¬ niversary and with it an unforgettable cele¬ bration. High point of the two-day festivi¬ ties, which included two luncheons, a square dance, a banquet, and a semi-formal dance, came when Zade Turner was crowned Sweet¬ heart of DeMolay. In the spring the mem¬ bers ' main task was improving their organi¬ zation; and soon the boys were packing for the long-awaited trek to the beach.

Order of Rainbow Before school started last fall the Rainbow girls attended a state convention of their organization, in weather so hot that some literal-minded creature tried to fry an egg on the street. Then followed a prefect week at the beach. After school started, furnishing the en¬ thusiasm and zest for the services and re¬ sponsibilities required of them was the main contribution of the Rainbow girls to their organization. This year taking favors to the Oxford Orphanage, Shrine Hospital, and the polio hospital gave each girl a sense of satis¬ faction. Another activity of the group was helping prepare and serve meals to the Ma¬ sons and Eastern Stars. For a change from serious responsibilities, the Rainbow girls had a wonderful dance at the Shrine Club. This came in January and furnished plenty of reasons for forgetting impending examinations. Rainbow officers are, first row, left to right, Mary Jane Sea- well, Hope, Sylvia Willard, Worthy Adviser. Second row: Betty Sharpe, Treasurer; Carolyn Gibbs, Faith; Elizabeth Palmei, Confidential Observer. Third row: Ann Poole, Drill Teacher; Pat Frazier, Recorder; Dottie Sherrill, Chaplain. 159 Capable leaders were the backbone of a successful year for the Key Club. The officers are, left to right, R. B. Arthur, President; John Jester, Secretary; Bob Cowan, Treasurer; Donnie DeSanto, Vice-President. Sen ’ice—to community ; to school and to fellow students—is Some of that little spirit’s influence is evi¬ dent in all school organizations, but there is more than a generous school-spirit haze around the Key Club. Members of this club moved around in its haze selling pennants, programs, and cushions at the football games to make money for their services to the stu¬ dent body. Those indispensable school di¬ rectories are the result of many hours of work by the club members, who generously donated them to us. At Christmastime the club ' s mist glowed with color when the front hall got its holiday decorations. The victory bell that helped our shouts of victory ring higher at games this year was a gift from this club. The boys are frequent luncheon guests of the Kiwanis Club, who sponsors their organization and encourages them in their unselfish services to their school. Members of the Key Club crowd proudly around the victory bell which they presented to the student body last year. This bell became an important part of Senior High enjoyment of our many victories this year. 160 Members of the Key Club are, stooping, left to right.

These Open Houses were spon¬ sored by various civic organizations, the P-TA, and the Recreation Department. Though lack of funds closed the old Youth Center, Brokie Lineweaver and his fellow Youth Council members have done an excel¬ lent job in the face of many difficulties to keep civic and student interest in a youth center alive. These enthusiastic officers kept the Youth Center Council active. They are, left to right. Sue Simmons, Secretary; Brokie Lineweaver, President; Don Wall, Vice-President; Bill Hanna, Treasurer.

The Dualers are a new club, just shifting into high gear as safe, expert drivers who have set as their main purpose the encourag¬ ing of safe and sure driving by teenagers on the streets and highways. Greensboro Police Chief Jeter Williamson advises the boys along the safety road in their driving; Mr. Richard Brownlee, stock car expert, advises them about such things as how to condition their cars for the greatest possible efficiency and safety. They have spent little time in socializing, but have put in most of their meeting time trying to get organized and to find a suitable garage for their autos. Their officers are President Jerry Petty, Vice-Presi¬ dent Larry Reece, Treasurer C. G. Hayes, and Secretary Worth Squires. Junior Red Cross helps the needy Service to others” seemed to be the motto of the Junior Red Cross members, for they were often governed by its suggestion. At an early fall meeting committees were appointed and projects got under way immediately. One of the most successful was the Christmas party at the County Home, which included refreshments and entertainment for the resi¬ dents. Also there were birthday gifts for disabled veterans. First aid and home nursing courses helped to fit members to be even more useful. Junior Red Cross officers are, left to right, Bobbie Meeks, Secretary; Holly Deifell, Vice-President; Jean Sutherland, President; Mrs. Jeanette McArthur, Ad¬ viser; Elaine Anderson, Treasurer. 163 ini Troop members ore, first row, left to right, Carole Barber, Judy Shallant, Carol Levy, Koy Wrenn, Julianna Clark, Sally Durham, Julia McNairy.

Manner ship Joseph Conrad has eventful year of dry-land sailing The meeting of the MSS Joseph Conrad was called to order each Monday night in the scout room of the First Presbyterian Church by adviser Jean Ayers’ famed Ya’ll, shut up!” Amid the click of knitting needles, many argyles and plans slowly took shape. Conversations often involved a possible cruise during the summer, perhaps to the Florida Keys and Cuba, the Outer Banks,” or Chesapeake Bay. In answer to the question, Money?”, the replies which flew thick and fast included such varied things as a water ballet” and a rummage sale.” After in¬ struction in first aid or, maybe, knot tying, the meeting was adjourned by someone’s earnest plea, Dava, may I have a ride home, huh?” Troop officers get to do the dirty work. They are Kay Wrenn, Log Master, and crew leaders, Dava Cashwell, Mary Anne Boone, and Rita Boggs.

Sea scouts sail on weekends Composed mostly of Senior High boys, this scout ship is the only one in the Greensboro area. It is a regular Senior Explorer unit, affiliated with BSA. The Davy Jones” meets every Tuesday night throughout the school year at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church. Year- round week-end outings are at the base on High Rock Lake. There sea scouts specialize in all types of aquatic activity, with sailing as their favorite sport. The group owns three moth class boats which they built. They also built the Arrowhead,” one of their two sloops. They work constantly to keep all of their craft shipshape.

Bellettes Club Congratulations!” shouted a Bellette, as a fellow member came in gaily swinging a set of rarely-possessed car keys. As the meeting began, someone mentioned candy, with the immediate response: I hate the very thought of candy!” Evidently a certain member had just ended her endless candy sale. Patsy col¬ lected dues, someone explained that geometry had kept Sandra at home again, and Joanne and Marilyn talked of double-dating next week-end. As the chatter turned to dance plans, Norma left early as usual, but not before she had admired the diamond on the third finger of Linda ' s left hand. Thus went a typical Bellette meeting. Even more im¬ portant were the Care Packages, hayride, ice¬ cream party, and slumber parties, which filled the year of each Bellette. An important phone call gets the officers to¬ gether. They are, clockwise, Patsy Bell, Treas¬ urer; Joanne Haase, Reporter; Clara Alexander, Secretary; Marilyn Frye, Social Chairman; Joanne Plott, President; Rachel Allen, Vice- President. The D.D.T.

Club The memories of a D.D.T. member are many and happy. She can still see Kay Bird” struggling to make seven spades in her bridge contract; Pearl eternally playing Money Honey”; or fellow D.D.T.’s jokingly threat¬ ening to impeach President Lyndy Lou. She remembers the doughnut sale, the cheerful faces of the polio patients they visited at Thanksgiving, the progressive dinner, the swaying figures lost in the filmy mist of dresses at the Christmas Dance with the L.S.P. s, and finally the fun and excitement of the week at Myrtle Beach. Playing their own balcony scene are the D.D.T. officers. Left to right: Phyllis Brooks, Secretary; JosieWard, Publicity Chairman; Anne Pearce, Vice-President; Lynn Boren, Presi¬ dent; Margie Boren, Club Represent¬ ative; Julie Redhead, Treasurer. E.S.A. Club Hey, y’all, please cut the noise,” pleaded Frances, as Mary Jane rattled on about Reids- ville, and the Garvins continued another of their constant controversies. Well, can’t I ask her just one thing?” begged a sophomore as Frances gave her a warning glance. Thus began another E.S.A. meeting. Whether the girls would discuss their Stairway to the Stars dance, held in the fall with the W.S.T. ' s, their Thanksgiving and Christmas projects, the Plantation party, or a future pajama party was really of no consequence, for club meetings w r ere always fun. As a major project the girls sent to a nursery school a little girl who would otherwise have been left at home alone. As Putsie’s jeepster was filled with laughing juniors, another meeting came to a close. All minds were turned ahead to golden suntans, a moonlit ocean, and a week of summer frivolity. The Senior members of E.S.A., looking elegant before their Sedgefield dance, are, seated left to right, Mary Jane Boydell, Club Representative; Bobbie Meeks, Treasurer; Margaret Lucas, Secretary; Pat Frazier.

G.W.I. Club G W I seniors ore determined to improve the city fire de¬ partment. Someone will be surprised when they answer the next alarm. Very often G.W.I. dub meetings were hectic, for Susan and Cheech were finishing ar- gyles for Christmas, Sally was working on her chemistry, Sue was planning the spring dance with Flynn of the Les Soeurs, and by eight-thirty Pop was at the door for Lina Henley. Before much could be accomplished the impossible happened, and Sue was star¬ ing at the four walls of her hospital room for many days after her operation. She was up in time for the Christmas Progressive Dinner, and from then on, the club was never without its Wittiest president. The doughnut campaign, welfare projects. Plantation party, Mexican initiation—all helped to make it an unforgettable G.W.I. year. Les Soeurs Club Memories of wonderful times together bring smiles to Les Soeurs. They ore, center foreground, left to right, Margaret Cooper, Louise McGee, Barbara Flynn, Kay Stewart, Gina Sparling, Barbara Lind, Martha Bright (standing). Center: Molly White, Nancy Tuttle.

And squaw bury Shortcake!’’ moaned Lila as Gabe’s girls rocked with laughter. As usual, Lila’s funny stories were endless, but Flynn’s whistle (which was really Gabe’s, in case any of you Les Soeurs are still in the dark) always brought immediate silence. Welcoming the New Year with that special person at the progressive dinner and late show, the swaying figures lost in the loveli¬ ness of pastel dresses at their dance with the G.W.I.’s, the many slumber parties in Flynn’s rumpus room—these spelled fun in capital letters for the Sisters. Water skiing at White Lake with Martha Bright, helping the Cere¬ bral Palsy children, and sending a little child to Nursery School added to the well-rounded activities of each Les Soeur. Les Soeurs officers polishing the bannister, from top to bottom, are Barbara Flynn, President; Martha Bright, Vice- President; Lila Malone, Secretary; Martha Burnet, Treasurer; Kay Stewart, Club Representative; and Jean Sutherland, De¬ votional Chairman. 171 L.S.P. Club L.S.P. officers plan their beach trip in the right atmosphere. They are, left to right, Susan Hege, Treasurer; Sue Simmons, Vice-President; Marsha Kreiger, Secretary, Martha Wilkins, President. A year of big things and little things, but all worth remembering—that is just what it has been for every L.S.P. Three Torchlight members, four precious majorettes plus beau¬ tiful Julianna, star of the show, a generous share of council members, superlatives, and cheerleaders—these depict the always help¬ ing, always serving, always busy” lives of the Little Saints. The angels”, donning Bermuda shorts in the dead of winter for club meetings, but displaying strictly femi¬ nine froth for their Christmas dance, have had a fun-filled year. The candlelight perfec¬ tion of the Plantation, the grateful t.b. pa¬ tients who received manicure sets from the members, all-night bridge games after the progressive dinner, and the cherished friend¬ ship with their new adviser, Unni Kjosnes of Norway — all these molded a package marked Specially Perfect” for every L.S.P. Youth Center bridge lessons came in handy at L.S.P. club meetings. Members are, around first table, left to right, Madeleine Holley, Gail Kirkman, Kay Overstreet, Peggy Booker. Second table: Martha Wilkins, Wanda Slade, Marsha Krieger, Pat Leary.

S.D.C. Club Oh, pain!’ exclaimed Mary Anne, as Gayle picked up the foot-high discard pile in a canasta game, this just isn’t my day! ' Such expressions as this were heard at almost all the meetings of the S.D.C.’s, a group of sophomores and juniors who had formed their club while in the eighth grade at Central. Their club colors are navy and light blue, they meet on Thursday nights, and oftentimes, for no reason at all, one member will punch another and exclaim, Say, is that your dog? Those are the facts and figures . As for parties, the club was by no means lacking. Joan’s hamburger supper, Betty’s weiner roast, Gayle’s Christmas slumber party, Carol’s tea, and the New Year’s dance — each claimed its respective share of S.D.C. time. Scrapbooks for children at the Polio Hospital and other projects also received a good share of attention. The year’s activities would provide many worth-while pages in the S.D.C. scrapbook. This trunk full of lassies are S.D.C. officers. They are, left to right, Gail Apple, Secretary; Betty Standford, Vice-President; Mary Ann McNeely, President; Mary Lou Wall, Treasurer; Faye Fuquay, Corresponding Secretary.

Wheeler, Adviser; Nancy Ault, President; Sara Tetterton, Correspond¬ ing Secretary; Mary Wheeler, Vice-President. While Marty and Mary Wheeler compared notes on State College, Sarah Edwards told every marvelous detail of life in the Air Force. Sylvia, still shaken from the harrow¬ ing experience of riding in a car which she, herself, drove, arrived and took an aspirin to calm her nerves. Mrs. Wheeler, club adviser, became more broad-minded as the minutes flew by. Sara Tetterton usually missed re¬ freshments; but she wasn’t one to complain, for Frank was always waiting to take her home. So went the meetings of the Signets. But there was much more. Fruit baskets for the County home. Care packages, favors for the polio and cerebral palsy Schools, Easter baskets for otherwise forgotten children, the Christmas dance, the annual hayride, the all- important tea for new members, the summer swimming parties — all of these helped to create the glow of happiness in each member of the Signets Club. 174 The present and retiring officers of the S.L.C. are, left to right, Ann Deal, Treasurer; Joan Chandler, Secretary; Jo Anne Ellington, Vice-President; Mary Louise Shaw, President; Barbara Fjeid, Emily Bowles, Sylvia Kimbro, and Ann Dumaresq S.L.C. S.L.C. initiates began the year in Rip Van Winkle fashion dressed in red and white night-shirts at the first home football game. After that they were a definite part of the club. They attended a successful Plantation party, witnessed Susie ' s and Sandra’s con¬ stant corner gabbing”, gained extra pounds from Joanne’s delicious refreshments, helped to send food to a needy family at Thanks¬ giving and Care packages at Christmas, and helped to fill up Barbara’s car after every meeting. The Country Club swimming party was a fitting conclusion to a year of fun, frolic, and happy memories.

EM Venettes Club How are you going to club?” was the most frequent Thursday night question of each Venette, as she headed for another meeting of laughter, good food, and Holley’s senti¬ mental records. Those meetings were usually full of exciting plans—for the New Year’s Eve party, the Valentine dance, or one of the sleepless slumber parties w ' here Miss Bogart told numerous delightful ghost stories to tired, sleepy Venettes. For the new members the swimming party and weiner roast given in their honor and the initiation at the S W were special nights to remember. In addition there was the cold October night at the fair, where red faces did not belong to clowns, but to Venettes. The year was a happy one, but now all plans and dreams are turned toward the summer beach trip, the last club activity for the newly-graduated Seniors. Venettes officers in o ployful mood are, left to right, Hilda Holt, Vice-President; Sylvia Boggan, President; Bar¬ bara Jessup, Secretary; Chattie Sartin, Treasurer.

Ann, Bill’s playing basketball tonight.” How familiar these words sound, for they were a definite part of every W.S.T. meeting. Paddy Sue, he didn’t get an invitation,” Phyllis, it’s five o’clock in the morning!” These bring back vivid recollections of the autumn Stairway to the Stars and, afterward, the mouth¬ watering breakfast and slumber party. While W.S.T.’s were Dancing in the Dark at the Plantation, such remarks as That floor show was hilarious!” Barbara, let’s dance,” float¬ ed across the smoke-filled room. The events and activities of a wonderful year have too soon become only lovely memories for the W.S.T. members. The W.S.T. officers reveal the future to two tardy Juniors. Left to right, first row, are Edith Hargrove, Social Chairman; Johnnie Boliek, Sec¬ retary; Paddy Wall, President; Rita Boggs, Secre¬ tary; D. Ann Welch, Treasurer, Second row: Elaine Anderson, Club Representative; Amy Hutchison, and Sootie Martin. G-30 Club What ' s so interesting out there, boys? Is Josie Ward passing by? These interested G-30 officers are Tommy Iseley, Treasurer; Bill Franklin, Secretary; Bob Her- ford, Vice-President; Jerry Lee, President, Mr. Jack Luttrell, Adviser. When the G-30 Club was organized in 1953, the charter members looked forward to a club of thirty members. This year their dream became reality. Every Wednesday night twenty-nine boys descended upon some poor member ' s house; and only with the aid of Mr. Jack Luttrell, club adviser, and President Jerry Lee was bedlam reduced to only mild confusion. Though business was carried on while Bob Herford tried to subdue Iseley’s mad laughter, the club accomplished much. They made the beat so-and-so” signs for football games, held a Christmas dance at the Plantation and their first annual dance this spring. They look forward now to the annual beach party. Clown Jerry Farber, center, livens up every G-30 meeting. Other members are, Tommy Iseley, foreground. First row, seated, left to right: Sandy Tillman, Mike Stogner, Tip Noe, Chic Forbes, Houston Groome, John Horney, Bob Grant Standing: Mr. Jack Luttrell, David Bescherer, David Bell, Edmund Schenck, Artie Neller, Jerry Lee, Bob Herford, Robert Hewett, Bill McCuiston, Jimmy Jordan, Steve Arthur, Bill Franklin, Taylor Doggett. Syitt Club The Syitt club social whirl had its official beginning with a Christmas dance at the Plantation Supper Club. Much, however, had gone on before this. At the beginning of the year, when that hilarious Ocean Drive house party was still fresh in mind, the members learned that old hurricane Hazel’ ' had washed their cottage out to sea. Not to be dismayed, the members concentrated on mak¬ ing this year the best ever. As service proj¬ ects, they adopted a family at Christmas time, showering them with gifts to make their Christmas a happy one. Also they col¬ lected books for retarded children. At vari¬ ous intervals throughout the year they sold doughnuts and decals to finance these service projects. In spite of Hazel, they went ahead at their regular weekly meetings at the Y.M.C.A. to plan the 1955 beach trip, thus rounding out another year of fun while helping others. Syitt officers seem to be the wholesome, well-fed type. Left to right, they are Freddy Hutton, Sergeant-at-Arms; Gary Coble, Secretary; Buck Carson, President; Larry Cox, Treas¬ urer; Gene Smith, Vice-President. Syitt Club members are, left to right, front row. Buck Carson, Gary Coble, Tommy Nance, Paul Robinson, Dick Robinson Second row: Larry Cox, Dick Grove, Charles Younce, Pat Haley. Third row: Mike Haley, Tony Schiffman, Bill Hunter, Gene Smith, David Thompson, Freddy Hutton, Louis Glascock. A reverent service ends the Juniors ' production of Let Us Be Thankful, their portrayal of Thanksgiving through the ages. On Tuesday mornings students and teachers eagerly converged upon the auditorium for programs presided over by student vice-presi¬ dent Sue Simmons. Among the most im¬ pressive were Thanksgiving and Christmas pageants, Awards Day and Class Day. Well- known public figures like Miss Betty Jo Ring, Chancellor Robert House and Mr. John Harden spoke wisely and entertainingly. A fashion show, Torchlight tappings, election campaign speeches, and a nominating con¬ vention were evidence of the variety that made our programs so interesting this year. From speeches to pageants f w r v 1 i ; 1! 1 assemblies were well-planned and varied In A Symphony of Christmas, pre¬ sented by the Seniors, Rita Boggs and Bob Grant, left, portrayed Mary and Joseph. Right: The Speech Choir train¬ ed by Mrs. Garrett voiced parts of the Christmas Story. A dramatic moment of the pageant was the tableau, be¬ low, picturing the announcement of Caesar ' s tax decree. Sue Simmons, managing the Youth Center refreshment booth, is surrounded by thirsty dancers at a Friday night open house. GHS dances bring merry moments and dreamy delight It was a typical Junior-Senior Prom. As the figures swayed dreamily to the haunting strains of a love song, a student could look back on a year of fun and memories. He would never forget the open houses at the Youth Center in the fall—whether he danc¬ ed, joined the crowd that gathered around the jitterbug experts, or socialized’’ with his friends. He would always remember the way the girls’ gym really rocked during the Below: As the music changes tempo, the floor is relinquished momentarily to a jitter- bugging couple. In spring even Norman, right, turns his attention away from sports as he guides his date among the other dancing couples at the Senior prom. jam sessions after basketball games. The memory of how he danced the night away amid blue and white stardust at the Mid¬ winter dance was still fresh in his mind. All too soon, the nostalgic notes of ’’Goodnight, Sweetheart climaxed the dance, a perfect ending to the G.H.S. social year. The secret of College Day ' s success was its chair- The new gymnasium provided ample space for the sixty-five representa- men Miss Mary York, Miss Sara Mims, above, fives to sell their colleges to interested seniors, and Miss Lucille Brown, below. Some students were interested in the dating possibilities; but they had many other ques¬ tions about entrance requirements, tuition, and curricula to fire at the representatives from colleges throughout the state and other areas, here for College Day, October 20. The spacious gym provided the setting for the interviews. D.O. Club, Torchlight, and the Library Council served as hosts, enjoying with their representatives a delicious lunch¬ eon prepared by the home economics classes. Many compliments were received on a well- planned day and a student body serious and intelligent in their questions. Co-eds, left, are apparently the only ones who find the idea of co-educa¬ tion appealing. Representatives and hostesses, right, enjoy the luncheon furnished by Miss York ' s home economics department. Chancellor Robert House, keynote speaker, entertains and enlightens his audience on “The Power to Become. I just happen to have a few notes with me,” Chancellor Robert House from U.N.C. began as he took out his harmonica to help put across his advice to students on their ' power to become.” His was the keynote for the day s program, planned and directed by the Student Council. A spirited student-faculty game provided lunch-time recreation. In small afternoon sessions students heard forty lead¬ ers from many varied fields of work discuss the requirements and opportunities of their vocations, so that students were guided to¬ ward more enligh tended choices for their future. Careers Day reveals opportunities Inspired by these animated cheerleaders, the fac¬ ulty easily defeat the student team at the midday recreation period. Mr. Walter Spearman, noted writer and journalism professor is intro¬ duced by Phyllis Brooks before he informs some future authors that newspaper work is an excellent pro¬ logue to a writing career. Highlight of the day is the crowning of Queen Gloria by beaming President Kelly Mane ss. The eager, expectant crowd is hushed except for the rustling of programs and excited whispers. Suddenly the refrain of Pomp and Circumstance issues from the band; a proces¬ sion of lovely girls with their handsome escorts slowly advance, take their places, and bow to their new Queen, honoring her on her corona¬ tion day. Their ruffled pastel gowns, whose hues are reflected in the lavish bouquets of beautiful spring flowers, billow in the breeze. All is light and gay. The sun is shining bright¬ ly, and the costumes are vivid. Even the lawn is groomed to velvet smoothness for this event. The antics of the two court jesters add merri¬ ment to the occasion. On May Day 1954, colorful Pageant of Where are we? Is this Queen Elizabeth’s court, or Queen Titania’s, maybe? No, wait a minute! Here’s a loud voice: Ladies and gentlemen, on this beautiful May 5, 1954, I bid you welcome to the Greensboro Senior High School May Day, reigned over by Gloria Gil¬ more, Queen of the American Festivals. Senior High ' s eighteen loveliest girls, shown here with their proud escorts, would offer competition to Miss America herself. Left to right on this page ore Jerry Varner, Ann Poole, Donnie Evans, Joan Moring, Charles Woods, Sue Simmons, Charles High- fnl, Betty Bell, Stewart Colson, Paddy Sue Wall, Tony Schiffman, Madeleine Holley, Don Patterson, Frances Strother, Eugene LeBauer, Bobbie Jean Williams, sophomore maid of honor; Marian Cornelius, senior maid of honor; Waddell Solomon, Gloria Gilmore, 1954 May Queen. One, two, three, turn (not yet, Wayne!). Members of the court, at left, go through their steps with grace and precision. Bar¬ bara and Lila, the two court jesters, center, cavort and frolic impudently among the dancers. Umn! These apples are good. At right, Richard Smith, Duke Strother, and Melissa Thompson seem to be enjoying their roles in the May Day. American Festivals honored a queen and delighted the spectators Suddenly the green is alive with a succes¬ sion of dances. In their native dress Indians, Gasparillas, Cotton Pickers, Masqueraders, Mountain Folk—all part of the American Festival — sing and dance before their gra¬ cious Queen. With colorful streamers the May Pole is wound, and as the shadows begin to fall, the court performs the stately minuet with the grace and elegance of bygone days. The recessional begins, and the eager specta¬ tors swarm forward with their cameras and their congratulations. Members on this page are Kelly Maness, president of the student body; Julianna Clark, junior maid of honor; at her left, Pat Price, Susan Hege, Buddy Birgel, Beckie Schweistris, Bob Jackson, Zade Turner, Bill Williamson, Joyce Steele, Joe Kerley, Kay Wrenn, Tommy Kirkman, Pattie Wolfe, Wayne Wyrick, Lila Ann Tice, and Jimmy Jones. � They of the BEST PERSONALITY, Margie Boren and football star Arthur Balderacchi, and BEST DRESSED Charles Woods and Margaret Lucas make up this charming foursome In the background MOST TAL¬ ENTED Julie Redhead and Glen Hancock reveal their skill even with unmusical instru¬ ments. MOST INTELLECTUAL Jerry Motherly and Rachel Allen display a limitless curiosity, the secret of their superior brain power. These Seniors have Superlative qualities Whether for tale ip brains or beauty all are tops in their class In every class there are those who seem un¬ paralleled—matchless in their own individual way. But a senior class as large as ours has so many who seem incomparable that choosing those who surpass all others was not easy. It took a lot of discussion, comparison, cajolery, finally voting. Results revealed seniors pictured on these four pages as the peerless pairs. Thot straightforward gaze and guileless smile belong to MOST DEPENDABLE Martha Ann Burnet, High Life Editor, and senior class president Rob Pearce. MOST POPULAR Jim Jordan and Sue Simmons, student body president and vice-president, have hordes of friends. Any service for them is with a smile. Don ' t BEST LOOKING Tony Schiffman and Josie Ward prove it? Each one a Superlative trait personified these seniors are peerless Even laden with candy, SWEETEST Lynn Boren and Bob Grant can ' t attract more fans than they already have. WITTIEST Don Wall and Sue McEntire are apparently replenishing their store of cleverness from the latest published wit. And here comes FRIEND¬ LIEST Alan Pultz and Paddy Sue Wall to add their congenial warmth to this atmosphere of sweetness and light. 188 Traffic chief Bob Cowan and Phyllis Brooks, MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED, seem already to have been given the key to—well, not exactly the key to a city, but to something more useful for taking fellow Superlatives to ride in. MOST COURTEOUS R. B. Arthur and Rita Boggs wait till last to get in. Already in the truck are CUTEST Susan Hege and Donnie DeSanto. Surmounting such a minor obstacle as this requires no effort at all for MOST ATHLETIC Jeneil Edwards and Norman Odyniec. 189 The Superlatives and senior Choir members end the Show of Shows with a significant and nostalgic tune— Through the Years. 0 r LI.,... 1 . i ' - ; . T,j PI 1 to Big moments of 1954 Commencement will never be forgotten by The speaker was nearing the end of his speech on that May 27 as I sat perspiring in my graduation gown, my hands cold against my cap. I let my thoughts wander . . . Soon I must get up and go down the aisle to re¬ ceive my diploma. I shall walk across the stage, pause, smile, shake hands with Mr. Smith; then in one fleeting instant I shall Lovely June Tew adds her melodic note to Class Day. receive that diploma, the very thing I have struggled for these twelve years. Upon re¬ turning to my seat, 1 shall stand, sing the Alma Mater, and then go out to face a new life in the summer night. It seems strange that just last week I was laughing at myself at Class Day, for surely I was that typical sophomore. Only the other day chatting with my friends at the Faculty Tea and the Senior Luncheon, we discussed the Awards Day on which we, with other students, received Seniors, seething with excitement ond anticipation, line up under the walkway for their final march on graduation night. “Senior High Sam , ” a typical senior honors in many fields; the Junior-Senior Prom, when we danced away the night; and perhaps most significant, the moving Bac¬ calaureate Sermon of Dr. Bowen at the First Baptist Church. These last days of May, 1954, I shall never forget. But now it is time for me to go—to get that diploma.” Above right: All the good, old wishes are added as the final touch to the new Whirligigs.
