action. Miss Jackson is a fresh
man at the Baptist school. Miss
Edythe I Medlin of Zebulon is
also a member of the college band,
playing the glockenspiel.
Rain and a muddy practice field
have hampered preparations for
the game and the coach stated that
his boys are in need of a vreat deal
of work to perfect their timing in
the tricky T formation he has in
stalled.
The Cathedral Latin team lost a
heartbreaking game to Erwin last
week in the last two minutes of
play by a 7-6 score.
Quarterback Bobby Bridgers
and hard-charging J. C. Liles will
be hard pressed to'match the play
of triple-threat Tommy Peatross,
who is no stranger to Zebulon. He
was a first string eager for Cathe
dral Latin when they met Wake
lon.
Expected to start in the back
field with Bridgers and Liles are
halfback K. D. Lloyd and Jimmy
Greene, 190-pound fullback. Line
men have not been chosen, al
though Dan Privette, who turned
in a sparkling offensive and de
fensive game at center last week,
is likely again to play that posi
tion. Other linemen are Bill Brant
ley, Ralph Lewis, George Massey,
Bobby Phillips, Johnnie Gay, Fred
Mangum, Worth Cromm, and Rob
ert Kitchings.
The church was constituted in
1850, and the structure itself is
fairly old, though in an excellent
state of repair. Various organiza
tions of the church, however, have
undertaken to fit the building
with more modern and comforta
ble furnishings.
Some months ago a complete set
of furniture for the rostrum and
pulpit costing several hun
dred dollars, was donated to the
church by Misses Bertha and Jew
el Mullins, daughters of S. C.
Mullins, and Misses Ruth and Lin
da Mullins, daughters of G. C.
Mullins.
