THE ZEBULON
RECORD
VOLUME 37. NUMBER 35. ZEBULON. N. C.. OCTOBER 4. 1962
Oxford Orphanage
Tops Bulldogs, 21-13
By Bill Quick
After holding the superior hand
for two quarters and a 7-0 lead,
the Wakelon Bulldogs fell victim
to the Red Devils of the Oxford
Orphanage in an explosive second
half last Friday night. The final
score was 21-13.
Two Orphanage touchdowns
were called back during the first
half, due to penalities, but the first
half of play saw Wakelon take an
advantage that sent the Bulldogs
to the dressing room at halftime
with a one TD lead. That touch
down came near the beginning of
the second quarter on a 19-yard
pass play from QB Tommy Wood
to Floyd Farrington. HB Bobby
Dean ran the extra point for
the Wakelon advantage.
The first quarter opened with
Wakelon kicking to the Red Devils.
Homecoming Set
By Councilmen
November 2 has been designated
homecoming day at Wakelon
School. The Student Council set
the date at a recent meeting.
This awaited event by the stu
dents and school patrons features
highlights of a parade, alumni tea,
the crowning of a homecoming:
queen at the half time of an ex- j
citing football game between the |
Wakelon Bulldogs and the Spring
Hope Raiders.
Persons, clubs or firms who wish
to enter a float or car in the parade
are asked to contact Charles Col
lins, Student Council vice presi
dent and chairman of the float
committee.
After gaining only five yards, the
Orphanage punted and a fifteen
yard penalty on third down, put
Wakelon in a hole and Wood was
forced to punt out. On the next
series of downs, little Jimmy Riv
ers, 124-lb. senior halfback scor
ed on a 35-yard jaunt but an off
sides penalty nullified the score. A
touchback gave Wakelon the ball
on the 20-yard line. Ellington
picked up four yards, Creech
scampered for 16 and a firstdown.
Dean failed to gain and Ellington
picked up nine yards, Creech ran
over right guard for 6 yards and
another FD and as the quarter
ended the clash was deadlocked
0-0. Wook kicked 41 yards to the
Orphanage 1-yard line and on the
next series of downs the Red Dev
ils booted out to their own 34 yard
line. From that point, the drive
for the first Wakelon TD began
and four plays later, Wood hit
Farrington for the 6-pointer.
Second Half a Different Story
Wakelon was outclassed in the
third quarter as the Orphanage
drove for two quick touchdowns
with fullback Perry Williams pro
viding the extra points. Jimmy
Rivers ran for the first Orphanage
score and QB Eddie Strickland
covered 70-yards on the runback
of a Wakelon punt for the second
TD. The third period ended with
the Granville County team in the
lead 14-7. Each team added an
other TD in the fourth stanza
with the Wakelon touchdown on
a pass from QB Wood to Thurston J
Debnam in the dying seconds of
the contest. The PAT attempt
was no good and the final score
was 21-13. The win was the Or
phanage’s third of the year. It was
Wakelon’s first defeat.
Friday night the Bulldogs tackle
Bethel Hill in Person County near
Roxboro.

National Eye-Bank Week.
The eyes of persons who have
willed them to the Eye Bank for
Restoring Sight, Inc., are remov
ed after death. They must be
taken within one to four hours and
used within 24 to 48 hours.
Kemp said the eyes of either a
young or old person can be used
if the tissue of the eye is clear.
The removal of the eye does not
cause any disfigurement, he said.
Eyes are never bought or sold
by the Eye Bank, and there is no
charge for the Eye Bank’s services.
Kemp said that it is estimated
that one out of every 25 blind
cases could be helped by the cor
neal transplant.
Kemp said any person from Zeb
ulon or the surrounding communi
ties who wishes to donate their
eyes is asked to contact a member
of the local Lions organization.
Doctor's Wife Heading Girl
Scout Fund Drive Soon
Girl scouting in Zebulon is in a
rather drab way. The town sup
ports only one troop, that of the
Brownies. This troop of approxi
mately a dozen girls is under the
direction of Mrs. Preston Smith.
A plan is being formed to reac
tivate the troops here and to cre
ate more public enthusiasm, ac
cording to Mrs. George Tucker.
Mrs. Tucker has been named
chairman of the Girl Scout drive
here.
The two-week drive will be
held from October 15 through Oc
tober 27, Mrs. Tucker has said.
There will be a house-to-house
campaign. A concentrated drive
will be held and a tentative date
has been set but the chairman
could not reveal it.
Mrs. Tucker said plans are be
ing made for the reactivation of
the Intermediate Girl Scout troop.
She voiced that one is badly need
ed.
“I am very much interested in
the Girl Scouts,” Mrs. Tucker
said. “I was a Girl /Scout myself
and know the value of it. I think
it is a wonderful organization.”
Mrs. Haywood Jones and Mrs.
Frank Wall have been named co
chairmen of the drive.

Wake County voted in favor of
the issue, but, as had been predicted,
the $11.5 million school bond issue
went down to defeat in Little River
(Zebulon) precinct Tuesday.
Citizens voted heavily against the
issue. Zebulon precinct vote was the
heaviest agains of four precincts
with 353 votes against and 134 for.
Only the Wendell precincts ap
proved the bond issue in East Wake
County.
The large Zebulon vote against
the issue was due in part to some
strong opposition to high school con
solidation.
$896,000 of these bond monies
has been allocated for the construc
tion of a consolidated high school
to serve the communities of Zebulon,
Wendell, Knightdale and Rolesville.
The Wake County Roard of Edu
cation recently selected the site of
the proposed consolidated, antici
pating the passage of the bond issue.
The school will be located approxi
mately seven miles west of Zebulon
on property to be purchased from
Booster Fowler for an undisclosed
price.
Voters in other precincts outside
Raleigh turned the school issue down.
Raleigh voters provided the margin
of victory.
Wake County Schools Superin
tendent Fred Smith was reportedly
disappointed that the county citizens
didn’t approve the issue, but he was
pleased with the final results.
Retiring School Board Chairman
C. V. Whitley was happy that the
overall vote was successful.
