The Band and cheerleaders were really giving the folks down that way the real Mars Hill school spirit. Although we lost the game 27-13, the Lions put up a good fight. During the half, we saw the Mars Hill Band and Shelby High School Band put on a colorful performance. The Shelby High School Band formed a star which was very beautiful and played “Star Dust.” Cavanaugh and Dillard made the two touchdowns for the Lions. Rumbough came back with a sore arm which kept him out of the game last week. Last Saturday on a cold muddy field in the last home game, we saw the Lions lose another game, this one to Lees-McRae, by the score of 13-0. After an excellent “pep” meeting on the night before the game, the school spirit was “tops” for the game. The team wishes to express their appreciation to the students and the band for the backing that was given to them for the game. Tonight the Lions are playing their last game of the season over at Brevard. We want to see each of you behind the team, and don’t forget to give them the best that you have. Plan to attend the game ■f it is possible and let’s put the Lions over the top in this last game. The Mars Hill Band and a large number of students are ex pecting to witness the game tonight. We consider Brevard “the game nf the year” and we have just GOT to beat ’em. We were glad to see old-timer “Sleepy” Cole, who has been out most of the season, hack in the lineup last Saturday. female By Steelman The cheerleaders are still keeping up the spirit among themselves. If you don’t believe me just ask TED MURPHY. He is always try- irtg to keep up the morale of all the cheerleaders—especially EVELYNE STAPLETON. ANITA WATTS seems to be on time ^'lost every night of practice whether escorted by GARRIS PARKER or one of our own cheerleaders, PHIL WEEKS. SHIRLEY ROB ERTSON seems to always have quite a lot of inspiration by just looking at the chief cheerleader—^Ted, that is!!! NANCY BANKS ^od BARBARA MYERS give out the ole Mars Hill yells and think O'bout the outside interests at the same time. CECIL HORNE is the one that just stands back and watches all the girls do the cheers. Eoops, it couldn’t be the Billygo.at yell. That Steelman gal, well, that needs no explanation whatsoever!! The hockey club is well under way with shins bruised and scratch- There could certainly be more girls with more shins bruised. Eirls! You don’t know what you are missing! EVELYNE HUGGINS '* the chairman of the Hockey Club, and, if you would like to join *he club, see her and give her your name. They meet on the athletic ®®ld every Monday and Wednesday afternoons at 5:15. Be on time! The Basketball Club will start soon, and all girls who are inter- ®®ted b.e at the first club meeting. This is the fun club, so don i’our shorts and come on out. THELMA POTEAT is the chairman ®f this clulb, and she has everything.

The tilt got under way at 2:30 on the wet field which was unsuitable for the game. The Bobcats from Lees-McRae played a good game, although they were hit hard by the Lions. Lees-McRae started the first quarter with the kick-off. Both teams were driving hard in the quarter but failed to carry the ball over. Davidson made several nice runs in this quarter but Fleming and Webster kept the Bobcats inside the line. Jim Dil lard made several good kicks in each quarter. The second quarter opened with no score, but the Bobcats began to push hard to ward the goal. Lees-McRae gained 30 yards on a pass which was re ceived by MacPherson, and Mas sey, on the following play, ran around right end for the first touchdown of the ball game. They made their extra point and this gave them a 7-0 advantage. The Lions pushed up to their one yard line in the last minutes of the first half. Instead of pushing over the line, a pass from Cava naugh to “Red” Fleming was attempted but was no good. This wias all for the Lions, and the half ended with Lees-McRae out in front by the score of 7-0. In the early minutes of the third quarter, the Bobcats opened fire again with another touch down, made on a hard drive by Bill Eastridge. Crocker came thru the line and blocked off the try for the extra point. The third quarter ended with the Bobcats clawing thru with a 13-0 lead. The only exciting play of the fourth quarter was a 35-yard dash made by Wolfe of the Bob cats. COME TO CODY’S FOR ALL YOUR DRY GOODS & SCHOOL SUPPLIES Mars Hill ...
