The outcome was 33 to 22 in Leland's favor. Our local barbar, Roland Clark, came out with high score. Well, Boys, keep the good work up and you'll have a neck lace of silver and gold basket balls before the season is over. We all are in hopes that Skippy Stiller, Bobby Spencer and Tom mie Bowmer feel better now fi<om quite a few tumbles they had while playing the games'. Saturday night as usual most of the teen-agers ended up at the dance. There was a big crowd and we all enjoyed Wally Wal?' laces' performance.

Of course Leland was well represented as usual. This week we find most of our girls have been getting trim for majorette practice.

Among those practicing are Janice Swan, Gloria Hewett, Harriet Corlette, Jackie Marsh, Stuart Arrington, Mary Ann Loughlin, Patricia Adams, Janice Trunnell and Elizabeth Lupton. Not all of these are to be our majorettes, but it's fun anyway. While the girls are doing this, guess what the boys are doing? Of all things, playing marbles! They must have spring fever. A few of those playing were Doug las Watts, Merle Muncy, Danny Harrelson, Agnew Fulcher, Gene Russ, Gene Fulwood, Billy Dosher, Stud McKeithan and Sammy Reeves. Guess what, Folks?
