Salem Seniors Plan Various Jobs For Future
As June And Graduation Approach
By Myra Dickson
and Peggy Cheers
Just as a young man’s fancy
lightly turns to love in the spring,
so Salem seniors’ thoughts turn to
the future. “What will I do next
year?” haunts every senior.
Even with four years of college
education, a college degree, and,
for some, a teaching certificate, the
tremendous decision of what to do
Sophs Beat
Seniors 58-35
The sophomores and seniors
clashed for the college champion
ship in basketball last Tuesday
night. The former won out over
their bi^ sisters, 58-35.
The first quarter ended with the
seniors ahead 11-10, but after that
it was the sophomore’s game as'
they had one of their better nights,
hitting from all angles of the court
and controlling the rebounds off
both boards.
High scorers for the winners
were Allison Long with 23 points
and Jean Currin with 20. Emma
Sue Larkins hit for 19 to lead the
losers. The sophomore guards
played their best defensive game
as they completely bottled up the
senior attack.
The sophomores advanced to the
final in the basketball champion
ship by defeating the juniors, 47-
24, in the first game of the play-
offs.
The first quarter was nip and
tuck with the sophomores holding
a one point lead at that time. In
the second quarter, however, Lu
Long Ogburn started connecting
on her hook shots and sent her
team five points ahead. In the
dying minutes of the first half she
hurt her ankle and was forced out
of the game. This was the turning
point of the contest.
The second half was a runaway,
but the juniors didn’t give up until
the final whistle blew.
High scorers for the sophomores
were Allison Long and Jean Cur
rin who had 19 points apiece.
Lu Long Ogburn had 16 for her
team. Ann Merritt and Betty Mc
Glaughon played sparkling games
at guard for the juniors, and Fran-
cine Pitts led the defense for the
winners.
with the future looms over each
senior’s head and the question must
be answered.
Some of the senior girls plan to
marry in the near future. But
these girls have carefully thought
ahead. If Faye Lee doesn’t marry
Ross this summer, she plans to
begin training for the Salem White
Socks professional, baseball team.
Lefty Lee will get her training
this spring as chief pitcher for the
class team.
Emma Sue Larkins is faced with
the same problem. She hopes to
become chief chef at the Waldorf

arranged. Marian Lewis plans to

York. Marian has been offered a
job as bartender and chief bouncer
on the lower east side of the city.
