Due to the tremendous expense of maintaining an adequate sports program in the school, plus the fact that revenue for such a program is limited, such an organization could be of great benefit. With the limited means for buying equipment and improving facilities it works an almost over whelming burden on the school officials under the present system. Figures revealed at the meeting Tuesday clearly pointed out that the athletic pro gram was operating at a deficit or "in the red." It takes a great deal of money to properly field ath letic teams. Coach Ed Morton spoke highly of the coopera tion shown by ('live Whitt, Marshall's principal, and stated that the equipment now on hand was "above the average high school equipment as to material, protection and appearance." It was also pointed out that unless equipment can be purchased often, the cost is almost prohibitive if the delay in replac ing equipment is too long. Coach Morton believes that when shoulder pads or shirts, or any other part of the equipment is torn or worn, new pieces should be bought immediately. In this way, he explained, this keeps the equipment in good shape at all times without incurring the heavy expenses of replacing- sets of uniforms and equipment. Practical questions were asked and factual an swers were given to the 20 present. Average receipts and disbursements were discussed. Needs and pro jects were discussed. Ideas were exchanged and the 20 present came away feeling- more sympathetic to ward the overall athletic picture at the local school, i Too, after hearing these figures it is more evi dent than ever that the school needs an "assist" and a Boosters' Club could do much assisting. It was also pointed out that every effort has been made to secure a band director but to date no director has been secured. Officials stated that they, like the public, were disappointed concerning the absence of a band. Mr. Zeno Ponder explained how the request for funds to obtain a full-time band di rector had been put in the school budget but to find a suitable director was most difficult. "If any of you know where we might get a band director who is qualified and one who is desirable, please let us know and we'll get one," Mr. Ponder concluded. Other projects which a Boosters' Club might consider are : A new press box. The old press box is antiquated and actually dangerous. It only ac commodates six persons. We need room for at least nine or ten, especially when you combine press re porters, public address announcer and two "spot ters," visiting press and local radio. Steps are also needed instead of the present ladder up to the press box. AiCri More bleachers are needed. Six new breathers haye been built, thanks to the efforts of Mr. Whitt and the school peronnel, but at least six- ffltofe are needed. Mr. Whitt is doing everything possible to haye this done, but the citizens of MrsrMbe of invaluable assistance if they so desired, V A trophy case is greatly needed for the school to exhibit their trophies. Surely, when teams win coveted trophies they shouldn't be hidden but rather displayed in an attractive place. This could be a Boosters' Club project. These are only a few needed improvements, i here are many more. The 20 persons present at the meeting heard all these problems thrashed out but all those Who did not attend remain "in the dark." If you are interested in helping the school and ats pupils we urge you to make plans to attend the second meeting of the Boosters' Club at the school on Thursday night, September 19, at eight o'clock. A permanent slate 6t officers will be .elected and it is hoped that the organization will be "off and fly ing in the near future. . , , Attend Garden Club Luncheon Thursday Mrs. John O.
