High Times
BY CHEER LEADERS
This week has been a busy one,
especially on the thinking mech
anism of the Southport high
school students. We have finally
completed our mid-term exams,
which we will say were a little
on the brain-racking side. But
we think with all our last-minute
cramming we came out fairly]
well. Believe it or not, the cheer
leaders took time out from their
daily routine of exercises to
crack open a few book'. We have j
to hand it to the teachers, they|
seem to have a little more sym
pathy on us for a change.
We just know that everyone
will be anxious when Tuesday
row around because wo can take
our report cards home to our i
parents. A few encouraging |
work to those who weren't quite I
so lucky in passing their exams:
"If at first, Etc."
Southport trampled Waccamaw
in a killer-diller Tuesday night
January 25. Tommy Bowmer was
high scorer with 12 points. Bob
by Spencer came next with 8
points. Final score was 41 to 13.
Our boys second team played a
pretty good game also. LeRoy
Stanley made 4 of our fourty-one
points and Billy Dosher made
three points.
Our girls won over the Wacca- ]
maw girls by a score of 17 to
11. Rebecca McRacken made 8
of our 17 points and our little
freshman, Latitia Hickman, came
up next with 7 points. They had
us worried at the half because
Waccamaw had us eight to three,
but after Mr. Sanders gave them
a pep talk, you should have seen
that score fly up! We want to
thank the Waccamaw teams for
two grand games.
Last week we had Mrs. Glenn,'
the lunchroom inspector, '? to visit
the lunchroom of our school.
After looking around a bit phe
left saying that our lunchroom"
was in very good condition. We
had Mr. Combs, the school in
spector, to visit us this past
week. He also said that oui*
school and' supplies are iti g5od
condition. Let's keep it Ju3t that!
With the help of Mr. Stevenson,
a group of our community sing
ers organized a choral club. This
club has great plans. Airs. H. W. J
Hood wis elected president. Mrs.
George \Vhatley, secretary-trea
surer, and Miss Ruth Patterson
librarian. This club meets every
Wednesday night at 8:30 o'clock.
Confidentially, we think they are
planning a spring program. Time
will tell.
Friday night was a tough but
thrilling night for both basket
ball teams. Bolivia really gave
us a hard time, with Southport
getting two one-point victories.

Dear Sir; I
"My husband and I yould like
to take this opportunity to thank _
everyone who contributed to the
March of Dimes last year and to
urge everyone to contribute as
much as they can possibly afford
to this Drive this year. i
No one can speak too highly
for this wonderful National
Foundation of Infantile Paralysis.
Only those who have experienced
this terrible disease can fully
appreciate the work of the Foun
dation, but we must all bear in (
mind the fact that polio is no (
respecter of persons.
"It struck our family last year,
It may strike yours' this year.
"Our child stayed in the hos
pital nine weeks and received the j
best of care from nurses and
specialists. Since he has been
home tie has been going back to
the hospital twice a week for i
physical-therapy and hydrotherapy
treatments. Also, he is still be
ing checked by specialists at re
gular intervals.
"Very few of us could bear all
the expense envolved in treating
a case of polio alone, but cooper
ation with the National Founda
tion of Infantile Paralysis such
care is available without charge
to every polio victim.
"Thanks again folks and lets
all help this worthy cause.
"Mrs. D. A. Watkins"

porary repairs were made but
the bridge is still regarded as
very dangerous. Heavy trucks
have to cross slowly and even
with this precaution the structure
trembles and is always danger
ously.
The bridge is at the end of a j
grading and paving project start
ing from Southport. From the j
upper end of the road paving;
has already been completed to'
Lilliput Creek. This leaves the
Walden Creek bridge and about
seven miles of road with no pre
sent plans revealed for improve
ment. The present old wooden
bridge is of the arch type. Oper
ators of cars entering it at one
end cannot see cars approaching
from the opposite end. Much
grading will have to be done to
get an approach to a level bridge.
