The Way
I See It
By PAT PATTERSON
...
The books have been closed on another football season here at
BHS. The Blue Devils proved to be the spirited winning team that
everyone expected them to be. Their record of only two losses more
than proves that point. I feel safe in saying that our team was one of
the cleanest, smoothest-playing teams in the conference. We had our
share of bad luck, but that is to be expected of any team. Congratula
tionsto a wonderful team, and also to the two best coaches in the con
fer^Jke, on a spletodid season! #
Basketball is next in the way of major sports at BHS. This year
both boys’ and girls’ teams are expected to be greatly improved. Coach
Dail will have complete charge of the boy’s team, while Mr. Galloway
will coach the girls.
Several returning lettermen are expected to spark the local netters
this season. They are: David Cudd, Allen Perkins, Jason Smith, Lowell
Bryson and Jim Kimzey. Homer Cox, Earl Arnette, “Bit” Lacy, and Bob
Stewart are also expected to see plenty of action.
The girls lost only one player from last year, leaving Martha For
tune, Martha Talley, Rhea Marshall, Pat Cudd, Arvella Parker, Patsy
Allen, Carolyn Daniels, Becky Hudson, Bessie Cox, and Margaret Biddy
to rack up the wins. Practice is expected to begin the week of November
9th for both teams.
Suppose you had the unenviable task of picking the senior Blue
Devil of the year. Who would be your choice after the Devil’s great
showing this season?
Would you pick John Allen McCrary, who scored the first TD in
the Waynesville game, and who otherwise played a whale of a game
at halfback?
Or would you pick Joe Compton, who always made it a point to
score, when we needed it most.
Maybe you’d choose Walter Cantrell, who played a terrific game
at defensive tackle.
Then again you might like Lynn McGaha, who wasn’t letting any
body get away with anything in the Waynesville game.
Perhaps you’d take “Stump” Suttles, who turned the Henderson
ville players every way but loose!
And how could you forget the beautiful run that “Lulu” Bryson
made in the Christ School game?
Then there’s Paul Baynard, who is one of the best place kickers
in the conference.
Or what about Jim Kimzey, who was always seen on the offense
leading interference.
Of course, you couldn’t forget Fred Parker and Arnold Ray, who

Mrs. Cousins Makes Plea For
Contributions. Local TB
Work Is Cited
First returns from Christmas
seal letters mailed out to residents
of Transylvania county have
brought $433.05 to the local tuber
culosis association in the first
weeks of the campaign to raise
funds for prevention and control
activities here.
Although only about 200 persons
have sent their returns in, Mrs.
Leonard Cousins, Christmas seal
sale chairman for the American Le
gion auxiliary, said the response
has been more generous than in
past years. The sale of seals will

“Contributions are still arriving,
and it is hoped they will bring the

And what could you say to justify skipping over “Bud” Bishop, who
turned in a fine job at fullback?
So what do you do? Chances are you wouldn’t single out any one
of these seniors for special honors but would point to the whole crowd
as the best group of senior players you’d seen in a long time and that
all of them were key parts of a football team that Brevard high will
remember with pride for a long time.
sum up to the $800 quota, which
is needed to carry on the associa

year,” Mrs. Cousins said.
Volunteer workers of the legion
auxiliary, who assisted with the
opening of the first week’s contri
butions, were Mrs. Herbert Wood
ard, Mrs. Elton Lewis, Mrs. J. A.
Younghusband, Mrs. Lauren Hurl
burt and Mrs. Charles Pettit.
It is also announced this week
that Rosemary Clooney, star of the
Christmas seal film trailer, will be
seen beginning this Friday at the
Co-Ed and Clemson theatres in Bre
vard. She will sing the new Rodgers
and Hammerstein song, “Happy
Christmas, Little Friend,” which
was written especially for the
Christmas seal drive' by voluntary
tuberculosis associations through
out the country.
The small boy had fallen into the

“How did you come to fall in?”
