Songs, awards, jokes, good food
and a general spirit of good fel
lowship made of the Rotary club’s
annual Basketball banquet, held
at the Village Inn last Friday
evening, one of the year’s, most
enjoyable events for the 100 or
more who attended.
The dining room was festooned
with streamers of blue and white
and brightened with candles and
flowers to provide a handsome
setting for the- boys and girls of
the Southern Pines High School
basketball teamis, their coaches,
managers, cheerleaders and
guests, Rotarians and their Ro
tary Anns.
Lloyd Clark as master of cere
monies handled the long program
with skill and finesse, maintain
ing a running fire of fun which
kept the proceedings from ever
growing solemn. After the dinner,
for which the Rev. Charles V.
Covell asked a blessing, the pro
gram was studded with music-
more so than was plaimed, as,
with Mr. Coveil leading and
‘Yogi” Womble at the piano the
young people evinced a desire to
I sing and sing and sing.
They sang many old favorites
and popular tunes. For some of
these the company happily yield
ed the floor to an accomplished
quartet of girl singers among the
guests ,who gave forth with their
own colorful version of “barber
shop harmony.”
Musical highlight, however,
was the impromptu rendition of
“My Wild Irish Rose,” complete
with gestures, feelingly caroled
by the talented parsons Covell
and R. L. House. Applause was
so vigorous at the close of the
song that the shade fell off the
floorlamp at their side, and was
restored to its place with some
difficulty by Mr. Covell.
"Most Valuable"
The presentation of awards was
highlighted by the two trophies
for most valuable player on each
team, selected by vote of the tear*
members and coaches. These were
presented by C. S. Patch, Jr., in
