As Seen in The Mirror's
of Athletes
and Events
When the New Bern High
school Bears defeated Golds
boro 56-53 last Saturday, a.'ter
trailing 22-9 at the end of the
first quarter, a couple of valua
ble lessons were taught the
victors and the vanquished.
quakes lost their momentum
after a surprisingly fast start,
and never fully recovered from
this costly lapse Into self ad
miration.
The outcome of the exciting
battle demonstrated that a team
Is never completely out of the
running until It admits defeat,
no matter how hopeless the odds
may appear. Certainly the
Bruins had little room lor
optimism after their miserable
first stanza.
The second lesson taught Is
that no ball club with a com
manding lead can afford to take
tilings for granted. The Earth-
Overconfidence — magnified
at the outset by the apparent
tameness of the Bears—was
just one factor In Goldsboro’s
downfall. More significant was
the remarkable Improvement
shown by the Bruins In the re
bounding department. During
the first quarter, the locals
were pathetic under the boards.

Where Quality and
Experience Save You Hours
of Boating Pleasure,
Considering their limited ex
perience In previous varsity
action, the Bears made lew
mistakes In last Saturday’s
clash with an outfit loaded with
seasoned performers. It was a
team effort and a team victory.
Coach Bob Lewis had reason
to be proud of his boys.
As of now, there appears
to be no jealousy among the
Bruins. The fact that these
youngsters like each other and
enjoy working together as a
unit Is encouraging. If the pre
sent high morale can be main
tained, the bears will spell
trouble for most of the oppon
ents they face.

guard positions. New Bern Is
blessed with the best sentinels
since Robert Gllllkln and Jon
Burwell were around. Fortun
ately, the two lads are close
friends just as Robert and Jon
were, and go together like ham
and eggs. It will pay dividends.

A THREESOME THAT'S
HARD TO BEAT—Elvis Pres

Andress and Elsa Cardenas in
this scene from "Fun In Aca

Theatre. The Hai Wallis pro

Someone once said, a long
time ago, that beauty Is In the
eyes of the beholder. No one
since then, to our knowledge,
has tried to dispute the state
ment.
Maybe It’s just a case of
Christmas stirring In the heart,
but we’ve been aware as never
before, In recent days, of the
overwhelming number of cute
children In our town.
On the night of New Bern’s
Christmas parade, there were
several tots near us who could
actually be classified as beauti
ful, There must have been
dozens of others just as ador
able scattered along the parade
route.
Notwithstanding the quality
of the passing procession. It
was more fun watching the small
fry, with stars In their eyes
and the tinkling sound of joy

In their high-pitched voices,
than it was viewing the parade
Itself, Even without kids of
your own by your side, you
caught the mood of it all.
And now, with shoppers
hurrying along the street, the
moppets are still consplcious.
No human countenance—not
even the serenely gentle faces
that expectant mothers often
have—surpasses the radiance
of a child’s i-t •'.e when Christ
mas Is just arcund the corner.
Christ, If we remember our
Bible correctly, reminded man
kind that the poor are always
with us. If you don’t have chil
dren of your own—or even If you
do—there are many under
privileged tots who can brighten
your Yuletlde if you’ll only
brighten theirs.
You may not get to see them
on Christmas morning, but
you’ll be able to picture the
scene If you’ve arranged things
with Santa Claus. The best
money you’ll spend during the
holiday season—the most re
warding to your own heart—will
be the small sum Invested In
gifts for a child who would
otherwise have little or nothing
to rejoice over.
Do this In remembrance of
your own happy childhood.
