OLD SONGS, NEW MEANING

year I would like to give my sin

SPORTS REVIEW OUTLOOK
The outlook for the Lincoln
High Tigers looks very impres
sive for the coming year 1962-
63, states Coach Peerman. The
loss of senior athletes in June
will not be very heavy except
for football. In football, eleven
players will graduate in June.
They are as follows: Fred Battle,
Thomas Alston, Lacy Reeves,
Daniel Whitley, Sylvester By
num, Bernard Britt, Thomas
Farrington, Albert Williams,
John Fikes, Wilbert Farrar, and
Kannis Minor.
In basketball, we will only lose
six (6) senior lettermen from
this year’s squad. They are Fred
Battle, Eugene Lyons, Earl Geer,
Thomas Alston, Robert Cole, and
Daniel Whitley.
In baseball, we will lo.se only
four (4) veterans. They are Syl
vester Bynum, Robert Cole, Nor
man Merritt, and Roy Cotton.
Altogether, we lose twenty-
one (21) senior lettermen be
cause of graduation.
All other lettermen and ath
letes are expected to be back in
action for the Lincoln Tigers next
school year. The majority of next
year’s athletes are this year’s
sophomores and juniors. In this
case our prospects for the future
look very promising.

“To Smoke Or Not To
Smoke,” was presented to the
members of the Junior and Sen
ior High School as a service and
information feature of the Home
Economics Department in con
junction with the local chapter
of the American Cancer Society.
The purpose of the filmstrip was
the graphically presenting of
significant information to stu
dents regarding: (1) the serious
and rapidly increasing health
problems of lung cancer (2) the
evidence that shows cigarette
smoking is a strong causal factor
in the disease.
Brief Description of Filmstrip
—“To Smoke or Not to Smoke”
portrayed:
1. The keen interest of high
school students in the question
of whether to smoke or not—as
an individual decision.
2. The growing seriousness of
lung cancer as a cause of death,
and today’s low cure rates by
surgery.
3. Research studies that show
the relationship between smok
ing and lung cancer.
4. The injurious substances in
cigarettes and how they affect
normal functions of the lungs.
5. The importance of early
detection of lung cancer, the
value of yearly health checkups
—and the best protection of all
which is prevention through in
dividual decision not to take up
smoking at all, or to stop smok
ing.
Guest Consultants
Dr. and Mrs. 0. Campbell
from the University of North
Carolina, led the discussion for

A brief quiz and oninioniares
of the film were given and the
results gave evidence of real
significance.
