(Hemmer photo) Pinehurst School Highlights By Gene Maples and John Barry The Pinehurst girls’ and boys’ basketball teams wished each other a “happy homecoming” as they defeated Wagram here Nov ember 22. Interesting to note is that both games had such nearly identical final scores—^Pinehurst girls won 58-49, while the boys scored one point less to win 57-49. Judy Cameron of Pinehurst was, as usual, high scorer for the girls with 31 points—keep that average up, Judy! Patsy Hunt scored 18 points for her contribu tion to the victory, while Linda Hinson scored nine points. Our girls made eight out of 18 shots from the foul line for 44 per cent accuracy. Margaret Shaw, for Wagram, was close behind Judy, with 29 points, outshooting Carolyn Smith of Wagron, who had 14. The Wagram girls outshot us percent agewise, making 15 of 31 shots for 48 per cent accuracy. Boys' Game The Pinehurst boys, who are really playing heads-up basketball this season, scored their fifth straight victory November 22. Bobby Norton and Marshall Lewis did all right by adding 12 points each to the score books. Butch Hardy of the locals was close be hind with 10. Our boys made 9 of 16 free throws for 56 per cent accuracy. . In this hard-fought game, Curry and Odom were high scorers for Wagram with 19 and 12 points. Wagram’s accuracy was slightly lower than ours—they, made 50 per cent. Homcoming Queen Of course, at every homcoming, there must be a queen. Each play er on the boys’ basketball team escorts one girl, wha is a candi date for the crown. The student body then votes for these girls and elects the queen and two run ners-up. Ollie Frances Robson was crowned the 1961-62 Homecoming Queen of Pinehurst High School; her escort was Gary Cameron. Judy Cameron was voted first runner-up. She was escorted by Bill McDonald; and second run ner-up was Gail Williamson, who was escorted by Richard Oldham. Sock-Hop As is the annual custom, a sock hop followed the games. The mood for some was light and gay, while others were dreamy and blue, but all agreed they had a wonderful time.

One of the Thanksgiving bless ings listed by Wilton Garrison in his Charlotte Observer column— “The majesty of the long-leaf pines and the quiet dignity of Pinehurst.” While in her Carolina Hoof Prints column in the same paper, Mimi Howard relates the origin of the blessing of the hounds and includes in her list of hunts open ing Thanksgiving Day the initial meeting of the Moore County Hounds with joint masters Rich aid D. Webb and W. O. Moss at the latter’s Mileaway Farms “While fox-hunting traditions originated in England and Ire land,” writes Mimi, “the blessing of the hounds at the beginning of each season is said to have be gun in Belgium.” She recounts briefly the tale of St. Hubert, himself a hunter and patron saint of hunters. After his ■conversion .to Catholicism follow ing a Good Friday vision of a slag having a cross between his horns, Hubert entered a monastery. He was eventually canonized Bishop of Liege. It is in St. Hu bert’s name that the custom of blessing the hunt began in Bel gium, was picked up in France, then England, where the Episco palians adopted it. “Think, when we talk of horses. That you see them Printing their proud hooves I’ the receiving earth.” The continuing perfect Sand hills weather—crisp, tangy morn ings with warm sunlight illumin ating the slowly fading autumn foliage—is a tantalizing invita tion to get on a horse for a ride on one of the bridle paths wind ing in and out of Pinehurst for 100 miles or so. , The youngsters in this section have always taken to the saddle early, and many beginners and more advanced riders are learn ing and practicing the art of equi tation with Sallie and Corbett Alexander at their stable on Mid- Here and Away Weekend guests of Adm. and Mrs. Thomas Regan were his sis ters, Mrs. John J.
