Faculty Display Varied Talents In Qame With Salem Varsity By Francine Pitts Fully equipped with cheerleaders, mascot and water-girls, Salem’s faculty proved they can play bas ketball as well as they can give assignments at the student-faculty game Monday night. As their team confidently walked onto the court, creerleaders Scott and Byrd boosted the team’s spirit by leading their loyal fans with the cheer, “The Ole Grey Mare, She Ain’t What She Used to Be.” Mr. Spencer apologized for for bidding two of their main players, Curlee and Peterson, to play be cause bald-headed men were ban ned from the team. The game officially started when Mr. Sawyer, anxious to make the first goal of the game, tossed the ball completely over the backboard. 'The game then proceeded at a rapid pace with only five time-outs being called by the faculty’s Cap tain Moran, who was overhearri warning her team in a pep talk to keep moving or they would get stiff. Covington Inspires Team Water-girl Covington mopped the brows and counted the pulses of the members of her team at half time, inspiring them to fight to the end in spite of their opponent’s nine points lead. Cheerleaders Scott and Byrd, with their youthful red ribbons, socks and shoes, boosted the faculty with another yell. Just before the half-time whistle blew. Cheerleader Byrd proved her Red Clay (Continued from page- two) was plow'en with must of gived out. Pa never was home at this time of evening. “Pa, I got promoted—^well, ain’t you proud. Pa ? What’s the matter. Pa?” Pa sure did have a peculiar look on his face. Maybe, oh, no— Willy walked jerkingly toward the front step. “IT AIN’T ABE, IS IT, PA? “ABE AIN’T HURT, IS HE?” “Hush up your yell’en, Willy. It ain’t go’en to do any good now. Yes, I jest found him ’bout an’ hour ago down by bottom crik where I was plow’en. He was shot in the head, Willy. I buried him behind the barn yonder.” The ground was cold as Willy stumbled toward the barn. Every thing was blurred. Now why didn’t he see that ole stump ? He knew it was there all the time. Guess ole Abe would think he was crazy not to have seen that stump. That ole stump—he hated it. He would kick the fire out of it for making him stumple. And dogs. He hated dogs, too. ’Specially hound dogs. All they were was trouble. Always hang’en ’round folks when they wanted to be by themselves, or eat’en rabbits before folks could get at ’em, or lick’en folks. Willy sat down beside the broken dirt and started to smooth it flat. He watched the damp spots make the red clay even redder. “Supper time, Willy. Leave that dog be. Your Mammy’s got fried chicken, ’n biscuits, ’n rice, ’n— Come on, Willy. She’s got a sur prise too. A mighty fine surprise.” “I don’t want no surprise an’ I ain’t hungry. Pa. I don’t want to leave ole Abe out here by hisself. He never did like to be by his self, Pa.” The Negro picked up his son and started to the screen door. He carried him inside and put him in the rocker by the stove. Willy smelt the chicken. He’d always liked chicken, but he wasn’t hungry just now. Mammy didn’t say anything about Abe. She’d never liked him anyhow. Wouldn’t even let him come in the kitchen when he’d got cut so bad last fall. She’d made him stay outside ’till the bleed’en stopped. “William, open the wood box an’ get me a couple of sticks to punch this fire with. My biscuits won’t brown right.” She don’t even care, thought Willy. Nobody loved Abe ’cept me.^ (Continue On Page Five) versitility by going into the game as a guard. Her carefully planned steps and gentle playing were a definite asset. Mr. Shewmake’s outstanding playing drew cheers from the fans several times as he exhibited an other of his talents. Instead of falling onto the floor when he lost his balance, he turned cartwheels and instead of bumping into the wall when he unexpectedly ap proached it, he merely climbed it. Currin High Scorer Jean Currin, between collisions with Mr. Spencer and Mr. Shew- make, was high scorer for the stu dent team. Captain Moran aided by Forward Hodges was high scorer for the faculty team. Other .outstanding faculty play ers were Sawyer, Spencer, Martin and Benson. Benson and Martin are to be commended for being the only members of either team who managed to play on their feet, while Spencer and Sawyer are to be congratulated for their excellent sportsmanship. The final score was students 27, faculty 22. Following the game, the A. A. served refreshments in the Club Dining Room. As the faculty -and students chatted these comments were overheard: Mrs. Moran: “If there are no teachers in class tomorrow. I’ll know why. I didn’t know the teachers had it in them. They were good sports.” Miss Benson: “From now on I’ll not referee, but practice so that I can play in the next game. It surely was fun.” Mr. Martin: “Never again!” Mr. Sawyer: “Is my face red!” Mrs. Scott: “Well really.” Mr. Shewmake: “Great game. Little more time and we’d have won.” Mr. Spencer: “One more game like that and there will be no faculty at Salem.” Miss Byrd: “Simply sensational game! If Shewmake could make baskets like he turns cartwheels, and if the faculty could play on their feet as well as they do on the floor, there’s no telling what would have happened.” Mrs. Heidbreder: “I’ve never seen such agility on the part of people who are supposed to have brains and not muscles.” THE SALEMITE Last Concert Is Given In Music Series The Pittsburgh Symphony pre sented the last concert in the cur rent Civic Music series last night at Reynolds Auditorium.
