This program was led by Ankie Rowe and his quartet. Hap py John Johnson is the Soprano soloist of this group and other members of the warblers are Husky Bob Calhoun, bass; Daddy Jerry Parrish, tenor, and David “Shot” Wood who sings no par ticular part but is necessary to complete the quartet. Their rendi- tioir of an old favorite spiritual, “Lonesome Valley,” was well re ceived 'and they hope to arrange another program in t^e near fu ture. P.J.C. was led in scoring by Jerry Parrish, our bi'illant for ward who had 21 points. Parrish hit both left and right hand hooks and it was unquestionably one of the best put on by a single player in P. J'. C.’s gym this season. Also very outstanding for P.J.C. was Johnny Johnson who fouled out in the second half. Although Parrish led in scoring, it was truly a team victory with Barker, Rowe, Fawcett and Fields playing very fine ball. Early in the first half Campbell College stood a six point lead Vith Mason leading the way. Then P.J.C. slowly caught up, tpok the lead, and held it up till the last few’seconds. It was a tough game to 'lose; nevertheless, P.J.C. show ed that they had a heads up ball club and although they didn’t win, they deserve a woi’ld of credit for the briVlant fight they offered. Ma son led Campoell College scorers with 19 points. LIBRARY IMPBOVEIVrENTS boro, N. C.. is taking the place of Jimmy Elliot who graduated at midterm.
