Scene at 7:30 p.m. to
participate in the Christmas
Eve Communion Service with
the congregation, then return
to the Scene at approximately
8:15 p.m.
Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Goza and
Mr. and Mrs. Harless Wright are
the adult advisors for the
Senior High Fellowship, and
are assisting the young people
in planning and staging the
Scene. Many others have given
generously of their time and
talents in helping make the
costumes and with many other
details.

tableau will be the Baby Jesus,
Mary, Joseph, the Angel, Wise
Men and Shepherds. Special
lighting and costumes have

event in our community, and

loan deducted from this

which you pay your insurance
premiums.

?AROUND TOWN ?
Continued from page 1
during the game, he approached me at the
gate in a very ungentlemanly and crude
manner and demanded to know what 1
had done with the money, and
dangerously approached a casualty status.
The Treasurer of Hoke, a very gently
lady, informed me this was Mr. Autry. I
extended my hand and he refused to
accept this gesture of friendship and
greeting, demanding instead that all
money transactions be witnessed by the
Hoke Treasurer and that he receive his
share in cash Immediately after the game.
The Hoke Coach displayed an equally
belligerent attitude when a Booster Club
member was explaining to the team bus
driver where to park by stating, "I don't
give a damn where you park us, just park
us so I can get my boys in their pads."
Sir, we tried hard to be good hosts. 1
believe we were and shall be again if it is
our fortune in the future to host play -
offs. In thirteen games this season we
witnessed outstanding spirit and
enthusiastic support by fans from
everywhere and tremendous play by tome
of the most outstanding young men we
shall ever meet. It is unfortunate that this
one game will cast a dark shadow on the
entire season. It Is beyond my
understanding how one School
Administrator can be so set against
playing on Havelock's field and the
following week, the administration from
North Eastern of Elizabeth City accepted
the same facilities via telephone with no
?|uestion or reservations. His team and
ara arrived by bus and were directed to
the same parking area by the same
people. He even trusted us to count the
gate receipts after the game and there
were no reports of incidents. No one was
ungentlemanly. If I were asked for a
comparison between Hoke County and
North Eastern, I would have to say there
is no comparison!
Respectfully,
