NUMBER THIIRTY i grig behind most of the game, won In the D strict 8 of the Class A L- tournament Thursday night East Yancey racked up 12 points in the 5 first four minutes of play while the opposing un-dft'eated Old Fort team scored 3 points. Old Fort gained and at the end of the first quarter |f& Clay the score was 17-10 in East : Yancy’s favor. In the second half } East Yancey’s boys had their op \ Ponents dizzy to the extent that at | one po nt the scor.i was 15-30, and I the half ended with a 34-22 score. | Beginning with the s eond half of I play a different picture began to ■ | unfold and at the end of the third I quarter East Yancey held a margin i of 1 point with the score 44-43. In I the fourth p Hod of play the O d Fort team forged ahead to lead in | most of the final quarter.

[’ : Look Home 'ward Angel" Taking Shape By: Jerry Ayers publicity manager Things are b ginning to take shape for the upcoming production “Look Horn ward Angel to be given at East Yancey April 16th and 17th. When on;l sees this play, one seldom gives thought to the many people who are never se.te, but one who make an evening of d.f lightful enterta nment possible. For the last two w.eks, the RECORD has sought to probe behind the scenes and to present credit to thp various committees that are charg ed with an important sac It of pro duct on of the play. Lighting is one of the most im portant mood setters of a play, and chairman Joe Moody of the light ing committal has been hard at I wcric at rhaarsaJs tr ng to cap ture the right effects with the lights aided by assistants M k;> Higgins. Greg Byrd, and Dennis Bate. Work ng in ciose co-ordina tion with lighting is Jerry Hoover of the sound eff lots committee and his ass stant Doyle Styles. The sound . men provide cues to the actors for important sc lies with efffects like train whistles, autos stepp ng, crashes, and other sounds. A pay would not be the attraction It is without th i fine array of costuming fo*\ the characters. Kay Rob nson and Betty Beane of the costume cam m'tte ; are chal-ged with making, borrowing or buying the cos tomes fog the %kst. Other mem bers of the committe arct Murrell Crowder, Daphene Higg'ns, Hazel Hughes, Linda Boone, Sharon Tho- I mas, Kathy Harrison, Barbara Hughes, and La Kay Robinson. These girls are doing a splendid job of obtaining the cotumes re quired, and have hom:| economic* .skills to make any they- couldn't ! **t otherwise.
