ESQUIRE ON MAIN STREET — Sartorial splendor has been
much in evidence in Hillsboro lately. Tho ladiot had a successful
fashion show Friday night but it has roquirod two mombors of the
male contingent to really shake tne community with their elegance.
The elegantly clad duo above, William M. Mitchell, left, and Dr. M.
B. Roberts, each has his share of supporters for the "best-dressed'’
title. The contest is underway. Who is your choice? Needless to say
the contest is completely spontaneous and all proceeds, if any, will
go to a favorite charity.
Top Contest Of District
Battle Of Orange
Set For Friday
By HARRY W. LLOYD
High School Wildcats invade the den cf their Chapel
Hill namesakes tomorrow nignT at 8 o’clock in the premier high school
sports event of the county—“the Battle of Orange."
Wit{i both teams ranking among the elite of the District HI, at
tendance figures in the Carrboro park should soar above those of, any
previous contest between the two bitter rivals.
Coach Bob Culton’s Chapel Hill crew is riding the crest of a four
game winning skein In their opener they slipped by tough Southern
by a slender 6-0 margin. The doormat of the conference, winless Ox
ford. bowed before the Hillians by 197 Little Page High of Greens
boro. fielding a football team for the first year, succumbed by 25-13.
Coming from behind last week, they dumped the Graham Red Devils
19.14.
hi three conference games. Hillsboro has st.&dued JHpctluma 2W>,
overcome Graham 33-6. and lost to Henderson 19-14. The two team's
only common opponent have been the Graham Red Devils, whom Hills
boro defeated more convincingly.
Hillsboro Dominates
Hillsboro will be out to retain its dominance over Cfiapel Hill.
Coach Glenn Auman's team lost last to their cross-county foes in 1940.
In 1955 they tied. 7 7. The 56 score favored Hillsboro by 7-0, while they
won again last year by 20-7.
Hillsboro probably holds-the edge, in the line, w here there are six
senior and one junior starters.Thc top ends arc Jimmy Ray, Joe Dickey
and Marvin leer. David Hates and Bryant Scarlette are the tackle?..
Two of the District's best. J.-W. Dickey and Gary Bateman, operate a«
guard. Subbing them will be David Walker and Adas White, junior?.
At center, Eug.ene Kennedy is the top man, and Wayne Davis is the
top sub • . »
Chapel Hill Standouts
Chapel Hill's forward wall consists of such regulars as end Bob
Larsh, Larry Crabtree, Don .Prillaman, Donald Wright, and Tom Me
Neil.
You may also rate Hillsboro an edge at full back and quarterback,
where starters Ray Barnes and Harvey Reinhardt perform. Chapel
Hill’s plungers Bill Whitney and Bob M^drv won'/compare with the
pile-driving Barnes. Highly-rated QB Subir Roy, who has completed'
lots of passes this year, will really have to worjc hard to match the
Hillsboro duo of Reinhardt and Richard Blackweldcr. At halfback the
teams are about even. Speedsters Dave Henry and Charlie Hubbard
might not have the power up the middle that Hillsboro halves Walter
Swaincy and Kenny Cook can use. but the two reportedly are top-notch
break away men'and pass receivers.
Tomorrow night's game should be the most Important played in
the District. A win by Chapel Hill would keep them in first place but
would really play havoc with once-defeated Hillsboro's record Should
explosive Southern come through with a win over undefeated Roxboro
Jnd Hillsboro win. then Hillsboro, Roxboro. and Chapel Hill would fall
into a first-place tie; but the odds are against Southern's pulling such
■a stunt. If Hillsboro wins and Roxboro follows precedent, then the
Rockets will remain in first, followed by Hillsboro and Chapel Hill in
: a second place tie and Henderson, idle this week, in fourth.

Notice On
School Suit
Person Board Says
It Will Take School
Dispute To Court
Orange County scffool offic
ials have learned through daily
press reports that they will,,
face court action from 'the *
Person County Board of Kdu
cation seeking the"* return of
13 school pupils who live in
that coyprv hut who, through
the acquiescence of this coun
ty's board, are attending school
in Aycock.
No formal action, however,
has been received by Superin
tendent G. P. Carr or board mem
bers and they have not been served
i
by court subpeonas or otherwise. <
The Person board voted Monday j
night to authorize its attorney R. |
T. Burns twjeek a court order bar
ring the Orange board from permit-,
ting the children to attend in this'
county.
The matter has not been dis
cussed formally by the Orange^
Board since it acted two- weeks ago*
to reverse a previous decision and
allow the Person children to con
tinue to go to school at Aycock,
and no official comment has been
made.
A meeting is scheduled for today,
at 2 o'eioek when bids will be
opened for th* second wing of the
(amcron Park School at Hillsboro
and discussion of the question may
-ttmte-np-frt~-that—time.
The current situation stems from
a hassle over pupil asignment in
volving this county. Caswell and
Person. Person took action last
Summer seeking return of all of
its students going to school in other
counties. Orange did not demand
return of some five pupils of this
county attending in Person. Then
Caswell entered the picture by ac
cepted U students who live in
Orange at tj* Prospect Hill school
atld refusing to return *?hem up6n
Orange's request. In retaliation for
this move, the Orange School board
reversed its previous decision about
Person's students and voted to al
low thtm to continue as they had
always done, thus inviting a court
case inasmuch as the County At
torney and State Attorney General
office officials had previously ad
vised language of the 1957 legis
lative act was clear giving the
county of the pupil's residence juris
diction over assignment.
The dispute is the result of the
Pearsall act of 1955 which returned
all assignment .responsibilities back
to -local boards its an anti-integra
tion measure. Under the present
act there are no administrative re
medies 'short" of the courts for coun
ties which refuse to comply with
tiie assignment law.-The law has
never been taken to the SuprunM
Co^rt.

so much to the beautification of
