students will go into high* school
next year—around 80 coming from
Fountain and other vicinities. Ap
proximately 60 will be graduated in

Farmville drove down to tihe Mote*
head 15 yard line in the final period
but lacked the punch to go across.
The Farmville defense seemed,, to
fall completely after Morehead’s
initial touchdown, and the victors
took complete advantage of this
lapse to score, rather handily.
For the local eleven, Paschall Bar
