The Wilmington morning star., 1947-02-02

Another FULFILLED weekend fades
away into the past to take its place
among the ranks of those sooo
times everybody always remem-
bers, Week end activities starred
off Friday afternoon as the ouzzer
announced the opening OF the 1irs1
~ the two basketball tits slated
for the afternoon on the NHHo
court in which the junior varsity
and varsity teams of MINIS met
the junior varsity and VARSITY
teams of the Rocky Mount hlgh
school. The Rocky Mount junior
SQUAD jumped ahead at the leao
hut were soon overcome by the
punch-packing wildcat Jayvees.
Linwood Taylor sank twelve OF the
thirtv-six points for the local Jay
= with the final Rocky Mount
O adding up to thirty points:
Although the BlackDirds placed
the first score on the board IN the
varsity tilt, the Wildcats held them
selves true to their name as they
surang ahead and claWed the
Blackbirds 1898. The crowd IN the
packed gymnasium witnessed tne
Smokey City opponent rack up the
greatest number of points yet scor'
I'd on the Wildcat cagers during
their brilliant season.
A hush fell over the darkened
auditorium as the curtains rose on
the second performance OF step
MIN Hi" Friday night presented by
tbe North Carolina Junior Sorosis.
Lots of the high school students
were chosen as members OF the
east. but perhaps the most out
standing and well-remembered
number is the rendition Of "AE
Through the Day. by Rachel Cam
eron who sung with Tanky Meier In
the "Springtime Scene" The en-
tire show was claimed a huge sue
cess as the thunderous applause
lowered the curtain on the last
scene. Congratulations are in order
for the whole cast and those who
worked to make up a swell show!
Those at the Friday night perfor-
nance acting as social marshals
were Mariiyn Goodman, head Of
the marshals, Edna Matthes, 10
Anne Snead, Virginia Hatch, Shir-
lene Conrad, Bea Holmes, and Dick
Hanson.
Another large crowd mllled
around at the Community Center
Friday night for the Teen Age club
dance. AS I walked in with Ebe
Goodwin, I saw Virginia Gregg and
Ronnie Walker, Nancy Trask and
Frank Symmes. Franks leave
home drew to an end this week
end, and so once more he greets
sunny California sometime this
week. From there he will probably
ship out. It has bee.i swell seeing
Frank home again; and I hope he
will be back sometime soon, for
good!
Making up that ever-present cir
ele in the center of the floor at the
dance were Sonny Blalock. Rex
willis, Neal Patrick, Richard Gal
phin, o. K. Pridgen, Leonard Col
ley, Jimmy Kraus, Preston King,
Hampton Rothwell, Joe James,. ].
G. Price, and a few others.
Durwood Orren was there Friday
might shaking hands and telling ev-
srybody goodbye for a while. Dur
wood left yesterday afternoon for
New Orleans where he will re center
Pass Christian to resume his
studies in the NROTC course. It
was really swell having Durwood
home for several months; and
when next Christmas comes
around, we'll be seeing him again.
