Smoke Signals
Nfcws Of Warren Academy
Last week was a busy week
for the students at Warren
Academy. Not only were homework
assignments to be
prepared every night, but
ballgames were being played
every night. This kept
everyone busy trying to keep
up with their assignments and
also going to the games. No one
wanted to miss the tournament
games that were being played
at N.E.W. Academy.
The boys' team had two great
games during the tournament.
Last Monday night they
defeated Northeast Academy
by 14 points after having been
defeated by them twice during
the season. Wednesday night
they played Halifax Academy.
This was a game that everyone
should have seen. The WA boys
lost by two points in the last
two seconds of the game, and
these points were made at the
foul line. This game was their
best of the season and a hard
one for them to lose.
Enfield Academy won the
tournament by defeating Halifax
Academy in the last two
seconds of their game by a long
shot from the corner.
The girls' team did not fare
as well as the boys. They
defeated N.E.W. on Tuesday
night, but could not get
themselves together for the
Thursday nig>t game with
Northeast. Northeast was the
winner of that game, thereby
eliminating the girls from the
rest of the tournament.
We would like to congratulate
Bonnie Greer and Rhonda
Reid for being named to the
all-conference team. The boys
making the all conference team
were Carl Quails and Everette
Knight. Congratulations to
them from all of us here at
Warren Academy. We are very
proud of these players because
they had to play exceedingly
well to be named to the
all-conference team. Thank
you. Coach Kearney, for the
fine job that you did this year
with the basketball teams.
Our cheerleaders did an
outstanding job of leading the
cheers at the tournament. We
would like to thank them for a
job well done. An extra special
thanks to Mrs. Lucy Hundley
and Mrs. Diane Davrs for sponsoring
the cheerier*,.

Those of you who did not get
to the Parent-Teacher Basketball
Game last Monday . night
missed the "good times!" The
women's teams ended with a
tie, give or take a few points.
This game was good for a lot of
laughs. Who would have
thought that all of the teachers
would have shown up for work
Tuesday morning!
The men's teams had too
many good players to be a game
for fun. They had a lot of
competition going between the
teams. The parents ended up
winning by four points. But all
in all everyone enjoyed playing
and finding out they need to
exercise more to stay in shape.
Thanks to all who participated,
and this includes all the
cheerleaders, too.
The senior class had a
hilarious half-time show. Those
senior boys really make good
looking women! Shirley Tem

also. Participating in this group
