BULLDOG
BARKS
By RANDY BURTON
At the present time approximately 14 boys are trying out for a
position on the ’66-’67 basketball team. Mr. Frazier seems to be well
pleased with the turnout and states that it will be hard to cut anyone.
Those sophomores practicing are Tommy Hearne, Billy Freeman, Dennis
Rickman. Robert Lewis, Mike Manning, Gene Hearne, David Plyler,
and Jimmy Nance; juniors who are seeking a position are Johnny
Little and Jimmy Harwood; seniors'applying for a post are Mark Ma
bry, Johnny Auten, and Mark Cain. Others will join the team later.

Thanks to the efforts of many, the basketball teams are playing
in a totally different looking gymnasium. The sanded floor and the
blue and white lines make the surroundings much brighter. Our Bull
dog occupies the honor position in the center of the floor and adds a
touch of school spirit to the gym. Everyone should be careful not to
damage the floor by carelessly walking on it.
*♦»•!■*
Girls’ basketball practice has also started with about 20 girls par
ticipating. The team is under the new direction of Mrs. James F.
Bogle. Mrs. Bogle is also teaching physical education, and senior
scieiice. Good luck to the Bulldogettes!
Another sport coming into view is wrestling. This sport will also
be under new supervision. Mr. McGee, a native of Rockingham and
teacher of biology and mathematics, will be the director. A number
of new clothing items have been purchased for this team and are well
deserved after last year’s victories.
