COLUMNS I Boys Dig Potatoes The boys luive taken physical education at the farm agiiin. They dug potatoes. This physical education class is doing real work at the farm. A few days ago the boys shocked corn, and now they have been digging pota toes. Dr. Patten asked the boys to do this work, and they complied. They worked about an hour and had packed around twenty bushels of potatoes. (iood w'ork, boys! Keep it up! Hi School Trounces College The first touch football game was played against Mills High.

TECH GAME ATTENDED BY PHYS. ED. CLUB The Duke-Georgia Tech game drew over twenty-five spectators from Louisburg College, November 4, when the Physical Ed. Club jour neyed to Durham on the college bus for the event. Following the game the Louisburg visitors went sight-seeing in Dur- h am. Phys. Ed. Class Groans Scene: Physical education class, Time: almost any afternoon from two to three or three to four; Dra matic personnel: Miss Crisp and stu dents. “Now, girls, just to limber up a bit, let's take a few dozen prone falls. Ready? Let’s go. One, two, three, four. Down, two, stretch feet up.” That is the way Miss Crisp counts out the exercise; but to those students whose joints and muscles groan in audible complaint, it might be counted another way; for in stance, ouch, groan, oh, gosh! “For the next exercise let’s take jumping pack,’’ continued Miss Crisp smilingly. “Ready? Jump, two.One, two. High! Reach for- something.” “Then I may as well stop,” says a voice from the back now. “I’ve found what I was reaching for—the height of live feet eight, and I’m tive feet six.” “All right,” says Miss Crisp, “rest a minute.” Thirty seconds elapse, and Miss Crisp continues. “Now, let’s do some stationary run-I ning. Ready? Go! Run! Run hard! Get your legs way up there. Run a race. There’s the finish line! Run hard! Why have you stopped?” she says to a student who seems to be coasting most of the way.” “I just won the race,” says the student bliss fully. “Now let’s rotate. One, down to the front; two, to the right; three, back; and four, to the left. Ready? Go!” And so we rotate until about five minutes later Miss Crisp says, “Stop. Makes you feel like you’ve been on a merry-go-round, doesn’t it?” “Sure,” quips a student, “only I didn’t work so hard on the merry- go-round.” “All right. Let’s play volleyball for a while. Juniors vs. Seniors. Teams ready? Play!” “And so the juniors and seniors bat balls back and forth, fall in the net, hit balls, and miss balls for about forty min utes.” Finally, two words pour from the instructor's mouth, “Class dis missed,” and the students scatter. Relaxed to the point of collapse, they almost pass the point when Miss Crisp adds a final word: “Don't for get volleyball this afternoon at four. It will relax you.” All joking aside, though, phys. ed. is one of the most enjoyable classes we have. It gives the op portunity to scream, when we feel we must, without using our vocal cords. ‘‘One has to go down deep to get the cream.”—Ashus H. Raye, Middle nineteenth century, head of Louisburg Female Seminary, forerunner of Louis burg College. November 30, 1944 Reds Take Blues In Opening Tournament The Reds defeated the Blues in the first game of the football tour- n ament. The first quarter was hardly opened when the Reds scored with Lauk’s shot of a long pass to Gore in the end zone. This play put the Red team in the lead. Hooper received one of Davis’ long passes, which tied the .score in the second quarter. Now both teams were doing some swell playing. Gore intercepted one of Creech’s passes and went over for a touchdown in the third quar ter. The game ended with the Reds holding a lead of 12-6. Blue players w'ere Creech, Davis, Hooper, Long, Cuthrell, Emory, and “Snow-Ball” Carroll. The Red ])layers were Flythe, Moon, Lank, Skinner, Lehew, Clay, (lore, Spivey, and Fuller. Boys Begin Football Practice Oh, my foot! Look out for the ball! Somebody help Emory to the infirmary. These were the cries on the football field at practice. Prac tice has really started with a ‘bang.’ 'I'eam .spirit has already begun to b(( present. Flythe and Long are really putting a toe iu that ball. (lOre has really been ])ulliiig down some of those passes. Davis has really been doing some fine r\nining with the ball. The teams seem to be getting into shape fast, and they promise .some good games. Look to "Creech and Flythe for a good season this year. They are the captains. Creech is the Blue and Flythe the Red captain. (Jive these boya and the teams your sujiport. ROYS WIN IN STUNTS (Continued from Page One) .Smith proved in the next event, an acrobatic feat, that she was a capa ble drum majorette. Third iloor Franklin then pre sented its little shoe saleslady, Mil dred Boney, in a hectic day’s experi ence. First came glamour girl Miss Lynn Ballcntine who had to see 'very shoe 1ti the shop. Farmer Alli son Modlin between his attention to •Miss Ballentine and his pipe a.sked ((Tt a pair of shoes to last four years. I’o relieve Miss Boney’s nerves. Miss Frlene Whitehurst kindly asked for teachers’ Oxfords but could not be fitted. The shop was almost in or der once more w’hen the devoted mother, Kay Champion, entered with her two rude brats, Grace Turnage and Mary Margaret Cregg. Then two college students dropped by “just to look things over”—zootsuits •Mary Frances Morton and striking (’arol Wehrenburg, who was the major object of Mortan’s interest. 'I’he day in the shoeshop ended, hav ing failed to bring on a single sale. Main dormitory station L. C. in a radio quiz ))rogram appeared next with master-of-eeremonies Mary Lee Hodges. Seven of the so-called in telligent competed but not even one question was answered correctly. Score-keeper Charlotte Usher found Sue Hobbs, Emily Taylor, Mareelle King, Barbara Thorson, Mary Alice Roborson, Helen Thigpin and Eral- dine Doxey not up to their usual intelligence level. Boys of Wright Dormitory ap peared in a bridge party with Wood son Fearing as charming hoste.ss. The “ladies” were up-to-date on all current events as well as hair styles and romances, including Sinatra thrills. Bob Bikle, Fred Davis, Kugene Emory, Dwight Hooper, Sam Lehew, George Long, John Perry, and Charles Skinner were |)erfect guests even through the re freshments and the last good-byes. ,1’he program was in charge of Mrs. Stanton, who announced the numbers. Home Furniture Co. “Complete Furnishings for the Home” College Stops Mills The second game of the season matched the college boys against the Mills Hi boys for a victory. Mills took the first game, but now- the college boys had practiced and w’ere determined to win the game. The game looked bad for the col lege boys when Mills Hi Murphy got a pass over to Finch in the end zone. The college now’ was in the background by nine points. Flythe got one of Lank’s passes and scored to bring the college score up to six. Failing to make the extra point the college was still behind by three points. The game continued a battle royal w’ith Mills remaining in the lead. The half was sad for the col lege boys, w’ith a score of IS to 1.5 in favor of Mills Hi. The college came back for the third quarter and again the Mills boys scored with Finch receiving a long pass. The high school was now leading by a score of 24 to 15. Fail ing to make the extra point they made only a touchdown. Then Flythe took another long j)ass and W'ent over for a touchdown, his side failing, however, to make the extra point. Then the last quarter came up with the college behind three points. The high school kicked a long punt and Lank latteraled to Flythe and with some neat blocking went over for a touchdow'n. Again the extra point was missed. W^itli only about three minutes of playing time the college kicked off to the high school. The ball was placed down on the thirty-five. The college boys held the high school in their own territory and they had to kick. Murphy put his toe in and up the field came the ball. Lank was standing on the ten-yard line ready to take the ball. Flythe was leading the interference, and Lank carried the ball down the field for another touchdown. Flythe made the extra point, mak ing the final score 36 to 24. Mills Hi’s leading players were Finch, Murphy, and Wiggins. Flythe, Gore, Long, Lank, Davis, Skin, Wilson were some of the college’s leading players.
