Proposal Made Continued from page 9 Orrum were added to the requested lineup of WAA members. He admitted he tried to fulfill the request of the old WAA members by encouraging the Brunswick schools to “go north since you had requested to set up a 7 team league.” But, he said they (the Brunswick schools) advised him the travel distance Involved prevented an alliance with a northern league (Coastal Plains) to be compatible to them. “Their team relations”, continued Terrell, “were more In the direction of the WAA than in the northerly direction. “Therefore, the Board of Control, with the great responsibility Involved, had to weigh the situation and had to determine what was best for the entire state, and area,. So, that’s why the Board put the three other schools In the WAA.” Terrell again told those present — as he has at earlier meetings with the former WAA group — of the possibility of dividing into two leagues, so that a cross schedule of games could be utilized between members of these two groups, also with the good rivalries built up between them and some members of the organization that will now be known as the 3-A Three Rivers Conference, so as to help their schedule become financially feasible. Terrell again reminded them that “the Board is not interested in ‘tearing up anybody’s playhouse’, so to speak, it’s just interested in doing what is right and what is best for all schools. And, I’ll admit some of the decisions may not be what is best for the individual schools.” Lewis queried why the conference, if divided can’t be “one WAA”, to which Terrell explained that he felt it better for the members that, if they are two con ferences instead of one, the 10 members could then send two champions into the state eliminations instead of one. Supt. Ralph King of Brunswick County showed a marked map indicating how much greater the distances would be for his schools to join and play Coastal Plains 2-A Conference members rather than with members of the WAA. South Brunswick Principal Roy Blggerstaff said the closest school in the so-called “northern” con ference was 85 miles from Southport, all the others in that league better than 100 miles distant. Principal Nelson Best of North Brun swick said, should the teams become affiliated with Coastal schools, every trip they made would be made through Wilmington, which would add approximately 45 minutes to an hour’s travel time.

Principal Jack Johnson of Fairmont, the current WAA prexy, seconded the motion. A vote in favor of the motion first showed a 7-1 advantage with two abstaining. Acme Delco, Bladenboro, Fair mont, Orrum, Red Springs, St. Pauls and Tabor City voted for the split, with South Brunswick against, Hallsboro and North Brunswick ab staining. Later, Hallsboro reconsidered and voted for the division, making an 8-1 count for it, with one (North Brunswick) still abstaining. SB’s Biggerstaff did say, however, he would not appeal if the Board o.k’ed the split. Earlier, before the group enjoyed the Holiday noon-day buffet, Chairman Lewis asked that he would like for all members to be “honest and above-board as our WAA actions have been, and tell me if any of you have con sidered applying for future 3 A Three Rivers Conference membership, rather than stay in the Waccamaw?” He admitted that he and his community had and “would likely do so if something ‘satisfactory’ isn’t worked out here today with in the WAA.” Jack Johnson, Fairmont principal, said his school saw “no alternative except to move up to 3-A if we can’t arrange something here that will help us to survive financially.” Principal Dewey Nye of Orrum asked Lewis what he meant by “Something Satisfactory” to which Lewis replied that “We could live’ with the East-West division.” Terrell advised the group that their appeal should contain all of their desires; 1 ' BRING THE REGISTER OF DEEDS | OFFICE UP TO DATE WITH ARTHUR KNOX i I Platform j:j As your Register of Deeds, jj: Arthur Knox will introduce •jj modern methods and equipment jj: to keep the registry in step jjj with a County on the Move.

South Brunswick High School organized a new club called DECA (Distributive Education Clubs of America) to give enrichment and meaning to the curriculum taught in High School distributive education classes. The club’s goals are to develop leadership, create and nurture an un derstanding of our free, competitive enterprise i.e., concerning the East West split, and, too if this was not forthcoming, the desires of Tabor City, Fairmont, and any other team(s) wishing to do so to apply for Three Rivers membership should all be included in one letter. This letter of appeal should be in the office of the N.C. High School Athletic Association Board of Control in Chapel Hill no later than November 6 — next Friday. An appeals meeting will be held by the board in Chapel Hill on November 15. Secretary Terrell, before the meeting closed, com mended the group for their attitude and conduct during die get-together. “I know this, meeting has not been an easy one for all of you,” he said, “but I would like you to know that I feel you have all con ducted it in a fine, business like manner and you’re certainly to be commended for It.” Lewis and Supt. Leon McLean of Fairmont will handle the WAA appeal to the Board of Control. system. It also helps one to understand different positions and duties of various marketing jobs.
