Charlotte
Hawks Down
Giants, 8-3
There’s a new league in
town, with new characters at
the top of the heap.
The Hoskins Giants, who bre
ezed through the old Mecklen
burg County Semipro League
for a number of years, are
finding more than their share
of trouble in the Triple County
League to date.
One of the new characters at
the top of the heap is the
Charlotte Hawks, who defeat
ed the Giants, 7-5, 8-3, Satur
day. The Hawks edged the
B.T. Express Sunday, 8-7, to
notch their fifth straight victo
ry under Walter Cuthbertaon
and their seventh triumph in
eight league starts this sea
son.
Clutch pitching by Raymond
Blackmon and Lester McMan
us help to check the Giants.
McManus was the winner, giv
ing up only four hits in a
brilliant five-inning perfor
mance. Blackmon allowed
eight bingles.
in tne meantime, Roosevelt
Davis, Wilie Alexander, Willie
Smith, James Palmer Gil
more and Nat Lewis were
leading an U-hit Hawks attack
that routed Pete Spears and
Johnny Johnson, Giants pit
chers. Davis was especially
outstandting with a homerun,
double and a triple. Alexander
also contributed three hits.
Gilmore, Ira Simpson and
David Modley led the Hawks'
offense against B.T. Express.
The Hawks will return to
league action Saturday when
they host the surging Morris
Field Rangers in a league
encounter at Harding High
School’s atheltic field, starting
at 3 o’clock.
Cuthbertson will pitch Les
ter McManus, who will be
looking for his third win of the
season.
Harding Presents
Black History
Program
Characteristic of the life
•pand of a number of black
adults are memories of school
days when information about
black history seemed non-ex
istant.
Indeed any young up-start of
these days gone-by who show
ed the least interest in such
information was considered
either foolish or a trouble-ma
ker . Even four or five years
ago, student demands for
black history courses on col
lege campuses were met with
consernation by higher educa
tion officials and downright
oppression by state legislature
and boards of directors.
*
oiven tnese conditions, it is
less than extraordinary that
Mary C. Chavis of Harding
Senior High School, her co
workers and their students,
were able to present a pageant
entitled, “This Is Your Na
tion.” Thursday, April 29, that
depicted black history and
American history as parts of a
single story.
With willing and enthusias
tic student performances, the
pageant packed 200 years of
history into a two hour experi
ence. Characters, represent
ing great figures in history,
appeared on a simple stage
setting to honor Sam’s Bi
centennial birthday. The cha
racters presented speeches
that reflected the roles var
ious historical figures have
played in history .They repre
sented Presidents as-well-as
people who influenced the soc
ial, political and economic
well being of America.
The unique feature of this
pageant is that it represented
the History of Black Ameri
cans within the context of
what is considered traditional
American history of our na
