Friday, November 22,1968 COLUMNS Page 7 Hard To Handle Leading the 1968-1969 Louisburg College cheerleaders are Tri-Captains Dottie Dean, Sara Threewitts, and Henry Mallard. Other members of the squad are Bob Everette, Glen Smith, Pam Lewis, Linda Ditchbum, Sherry Mercer, and Jane Kelly. The cheerleaders were chosen by members of the Student Government on October 15. The nine-membered team has practiced daily on spirited cheers and chants that will entertain the student body and boost the Hurricanes to vic tory. The objective of the cheerleaders is to get as “tough” as the basketball team. The squad believes that this years team is going to be “hard to handle,” thus, they are going to “back ’em up with support.” The squad members have created cheers that are unique to Louisbu:^ College. They consist of “Clap Your Hands,” “No-No,” “Hey There Hunri- panes,” “Victory,” “Success,” and “Beat”. However, attempt ing to get the student body into the spirit, the cheorleadm Soccer Style Halfback, fuUback, defense, and offense are all common terms used in making football. Add a goalie and a few major rule changes and the name of the game changes to soccer. Replacing field hockey, soccer has been added to the long list of intramural sports at Louis burg College. Combining speed, agility, and accuracy, soccer is one of today’s fastest moving sports. For those who aren’t very familiar with soccer, the object is to put the ball (a little smaller and lighter than a basketball) in a netted goal. Since Louisburg has no netted goal, the goal post serves as the goal. No hands can be used so the ball is passed from player to player with the feet. One point is awarded for each goal. Naturally, the team with the most goals wins, (pretty clever, huh?) The soccer league differs from previous leagues in that there is no division of Northern and Southern Conference. It is an open league in which all teams play each other at one time or another. The formation of this soccer league certainly promotes variety in Louisburg’s intramu ral program. are dwelling mostly on chants such as “Go, Go,” “Rip ’em up,” “Roll up the Score Team,” “Hey Blue, Hey White,” “2-2-2,” “Let’s Go,” “Whop ’em up,” “Go-Go Get- tin,” and “Thunderation.” The cheerleaders are instru mental in developing a Pep Club and Pep Band. Louisburg College has not previously had these organization. The cheer leaders agree that these will involve more students, thus, stimulate more support and school spirit. The spuad asks for any sug gestions and especially support. If the basketball boys are will ing to sacriflce their time for practice, then the student body should be willing to support them. The cheerleaden slogan is: • “If your team is going to win, you’ve got to yell,” Animal Farm On December 2, an animat ed version of the ^ic fable Animal Farm, will be presented in the college auditorium. The noovie is based on the book as written by George Orwell. When Farmer Jones’ animals revolt against him an awkward situation occurs. The pigs sieze power and become the masters. Scenes of reading, writing, and other human attributes are seen among the animals. Throughout the movie Or- weU’s literary satire is clearly seen. The English producers, John Halas and Jay Batchelor, have done a remarkaUe job of converting the story into this movie. Art The art department of Louisburg College will present an art exhibit &om December 1st through the 10th. The ex hibit is to be one of the finest the college has had. Pormanent paintings, including a work by Picasso, will be exhibited. CHEERLEADERS practice for Saturday’s game Canes Open With Victory With Larry Paschall and Dick Driver combining for 51 points, the Louisburg Hurri canes roiled to a 94-87 decision over Southeast Conmninity College of Chadboum, N. C. on November 18. The seven point difference came at the foul line where Louisburg was 24 for 31 and Southeast was 17 for 31. Both teams connected on 35 shots from the floor. Head Coach Enid Drake rated South east a “bettor than average team” as compared to the teams in the Cavalier Tar Hed conference. Southeast, not a member of any conference, holds two victories over C-Th Conference teams, a 78-77 de cision over Southwood, and a 96-70 conquest of CoUege of the Albemarle. According to Coach Drake, guards Larry Pas chall and Bob Walker did an outstanding job at keepii^ the team very well organbed. He added that the team “played vefy well together for the ^t game.” Coach Drake also had praise for forward John Lewis who played a key reserve role, and for 6’7” center Dkk Driver who enjoyed perhaps his best collegiate game scoring 25 points and pulling down 16 rebounds. Louisburg held the lead throughout most of the game with Southeast never ahead by more than two points.

Coach Drake said “the defense will improve” and he added special praise for the clutch foul shooting of Larry Paschall who converted on 12 of 13 attanpts from the line.

Next game for the Hurri canes is November 23 against Southwood in the annual Homecoming game for Louis' burg. Coach Drake “looks for another Victory.” Feeling No. 56 What is a place? A place is people. Not streets and stores and such. No matter where the place, Memory is of people and what they said and did and understood along with you. Events remembered make a place for tears or joy. Hateful times make hateful places; Happy times, the happy places. Where, then, is a place? People... Young Singers This year’s Louisburg Col lege Chapd Choir promises to be the best that the campus has promoted in quite a number of years. Not only do the soprano voices of Ann Nichols, Glenna Wood, Cathy Fedderson, and Marcie Wilhoit lead, but the beautiful accompaniment by altos Mary McCoy, Rene Ban croft, Gayle Williams, and Frances Ridenhour add a spark to the leading voices. The tenors, Tim Stewart, Norman Barrack, and Allen Minetree are doing a fine job, as are basses Wallace Martin, Henry Mallard, Jay Crofton, and Larry Wolfe. The Chapel Choir is now preparing for its segment in the Glee Club’s Christmas Concert to be held in the AC- Audi torium on December 6th. Many special appearances throughout the state are to be undotaken by the young sing ers within the next few weeks.
