Red haired, vivacious, lively, Ms. Doris Hammonds astounded us all back in the 50s when she left Robeson County to teach in the Far East. She taught in schools set up for children of military personnel initially. Her verve was almost un heard of back then before our so- called enlightenment of recent years. Back then Robe son County's educational sys tem was controlled by far away non-Indian types in Lumberton in alliance with local school committees who held sway over the employment of local teachers. Now married and teaching in Michigan, Mrs. Doris Hammonds Hall recently was honored for her teaching ex ploits in the field of physical fitness in Michigan competi tion with other schools. A physical education teach er at Ardmore Elementary School in St. Clair Shores, Michigan, Mrs Hall was hon ored at a recent awards presentation by local school ' authorities. It is the third time her students have won honors in the competition. The State Champion Physical Fitness competition was established in 1972 to promote physical fit ness. it is co- sponsored by the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education and Recre ation and the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. Ardmore and another school in the school district, Gordon, were pro claimed state champs. The schools had the highest per centage of students passing the individual physical fitness test. ' Mrs. Hall still visits as often as possible in Robeson Coun ty. She has many relatives locally. "Total abstinence is easier than perfect moderation."

Robert Hillard Oxendine of Arlington, Virginia has received a football scholarship from Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. Robert Oxendine is the son of Elizabeth and Tom "Tom Boy" Oxendine, and they reside in Arlington, Virginia. His father, "Tom Boy." as he is affectionately remembered in Robeson County, is the Public Information Officer for the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Washington, D.C. He is also the grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Oxendine who reside near Pembroke. His grandfather is also honored in this issue by the local Braves Club for his contributions and dedication to Pembroke State athletics. Oxendine was signed by Red Wilson, Duke University's football coach. Wilson, who was football coach at Elon College before taking over at Duke University, has fond memories of Lumbee Indian linemen. While at Elon he had what was labeled in the local press as "the Lumbee Line." The line was anchored by Ricky Lockiear and Clint Lockiear, sons of Mr. Weldon "Tuggan" Lockiear of nearby Fairmont. Ricky now coaches football at Pembroke High School. The Locklears were joined on the line at Ekm in the mid 70* by Randy Oxendine and for a while. Ricky Brooks (all natives of Robeson County). Wilson was heard to say once, "I'll take all the Lumbee linesmen I can get." Wilson was particularly impressed by Mr. Weldon Lockiear during his years at Elon. Mr. Locklear was an Elon follower and traveled to all the games played by Elon. Wilson seemed to like Mr. Lockiear's straight forward approach to doing things, as well as being impressed with his ruggedness and discipline. The traits were passed on down to the sons who helped make Wilson a successful coach at Elon. Robert's father and grandfather and his many uncles and relatives in Robeson and elsewhere possess the same kind of traits. Wilson hopesOxendine can put them to use at Duke where he will be a middle guard probably, like he was at Washington-Lee High School in Arlington, Virginia. Oxendine was a product of an athletic family. He was a member of the football squad at Washington-Lee along with his older brothers, Tom and Bill. His brother, Tom, Jr., is now a senior at Washington-Lee University and is a stellar member of the wir etling squad foam. Tom, Jr., i* conference champ ia the 177 lb. clan. His brother.
