From The Independent, Elizabeth City, N.C.,
April 16, 1919. To see the photo, go to https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83025812/1920-04-16/ed-1/seq-9/ A hundred years ago thin was associated with illness. And girls could play basketball. When I was in high school in the early 1960s, cheerleader was the only sport open to girls.
They Are Open for Any
Challenge
Here’s what girls’ basket ball teams from other towns are up
against when they come to Elizabeth City. Did you ever see a huskier,
healthier, more dashing bunch of thorobred American beauties? They are getting
all sorts of fun out of life now. Presently they will be wives, mothers or
school teachers and running on the Woman’s Party ticket for seats on the Board
of Aldermen. There is one of the group will most likely aspire to the Morality.
From left to right they are Misses Elizabeth Etheridge, Margaret Hill, Clara
Dawson, Dorothy Jones, Katherine Pinner, Lorraine Sawyer and Eunice Perry.
