Grimsley High School - Whirligig Yearbook (Greensboro, NC)

A Pep Rally. On Friday, Whirlies gathered in the auditorium to raise voices and hands in unity. This showing of spirit was one of the best during the year, unit- ing all in undaunted enthusi- asm. Football saw another loss to that cross-city team, yet this year the score was not indicative of the close- ness of the game. Near half-time the Whirlies actually led the Pirates by a touchdown, and the unity which surged through the stands was a rousing showing of Whirlie power. There was to be an equality though: in basketball we took them twice. The first meeting on the court resulted in a victory for GHS, and a stunning defeat for the Pirates, it was their largest marginal loss to any team in four years. The second meet- ing, also victorious for the G, was one which came down to the wire as Scottie Arant scored the winning bas- ket with less than 30 seconds of play remaining. The Whirlies took Page again 56 to 55. The Lady Whirlies added to the list of Page defeats by winning 2 games of 3, including a vic- tory which brought the Little 4 Cham- pionship home for the 2nd year. Of course there were other Page matches and meets and games. None were so well attended as football and basketball, yet none any less impor- tant. In any competition, Page was the team to beat, at least in terms of rivalry. But for the record, two win- ning basketball games against one football loss that comes out to 2 to 1 in the Whirlies' favor. Don't call us, we'll call you. Whirlie word for the year was Pagebusting. This car was pho- tographed on Friday before the game. Whirlies did bust the Pi- rates twice, but it was during basketball season, not foot- ball, that our victories came. , A Those Page Pirates Back to Alma Pinnix Drive ln any sport, victory or loss, Page Pirates remain the Whirlies' rivals.
