Let’s Support Our Team
In case you are wondering
why the lights at Woodlawn Gym
have been on so early in the
afternoon and so late at night,
just ask any of the basketball
players who are preparing for
their first game on the 17th,

Jerry Eller
with the all star team at North
Wilkes High School.
The all star team consists of
some former college players like
Jim Richardson, James Wilcox
and others who have played and
graduated. Our first regular
game is the 28th and Winston-
Salem.
Under Coach Linney, long and
hard practices are a necessity
for a winning team, which he is
accustomed to. We hope every
one will support our team by com
ing to the games regularly.
If the boys are willing to work
hard for our school, the least we
can do is go to the games and
support the team to our fullest.
Our second game is with the
Winston-Salem Business College
Nov. 30, at Winston.
Tree~Man
Here shuffles the old tree-man
limbs creeking as he comes
His bark-skin is wrinkled under
his fall colored clothes
A mutant knot makes a hump of
his back and the weight of it
bends him low
His neck like a curved limb slung,
his head arched in a painful
slant, his eyes staring intently
at nothing
Your shuffle grows slower old
tree-man
Now you lean on a tree-brother
for a rest
Soon you’ll be rooted as he is
And perhaps that will be best.

Are the Mayes’ throwing a wild party in their yard? NO.
These kids are taking a break from work on the student center
Saturday, November 4.
Depth of Leaves
At the end of the summer and before the winter begins,
There comes a season when the leaves turn in.
As they wear their colorful robes and are crowned by
Silent rays from the sun they make us realize what
Beauty really is and that life has only begun.
Orange, red, yellow, and golden brown
As they smoothly swerve through the brisk fall air
And calmly find their way down.
Beautiful was their beginning,
More magnificent their ending is.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all found death as peaceful as this?
I listen to them crumble under my feet,
As their beauty holds my tongue in utter defeat.
