Mountain Heritage Cougars Win
First Victory At EY Homecoming
The Mountain Heritage
Cougars erupted for 20 points
in the first half of last Friday’s
East Yancey Homecoming
Game with Madison, to down
the Patriots 26-8. This win
handed Mountain Heritage
their first victory of the
season.
The Cougar defense was
ble to force two Patriot errors
in the first quarter which led
to scores for the Cougars. The
first score came on a
seven-yard pass from Darrell
Huskins to Timmy Parker.
The second score came on a
4-yard run by Eddie Burns.
Darrell Huskins closed out the
first half scoring with a 4-yard
touchdown run and by throw
ing a 2 point conversion pass
to Walter Henson. The
Cougar defense led by Jerry
Crain, Mark Jacobs and
Randy Hughes allowed only
two first downs during the
first half and it forced several
Madison errors.
The second half of the
Cougar-Patriot game was
played on a more even basis.
The Cougars mounted several
drives, but were unable to
score more than two addition
al touchdowns during the
game-one of which came on a

New Reading Lab At Bee Log
Reading students at Bee Log Elementary School are very
enthusiastic about the new study area In their Reading Lab.
Study carrels and a reading loft were constructed from two
discarded wire spools, plywood and supports from 2 by 4
35-yard pass from Darrell
Huskins to Walter Henson.
This was enough to secure
victory, however, as Madi
son’s only touchdown plus
two-point conversion came
during the fourth quarter of
the game.
Coach Hughes commented
that “We really got after
Madison on defense during
the first half. We were able to
force several turnovers that
led to scores for us. Our entire
defense played well, but we
received outstanding play
from Jerry Crain, Mark
Jacobs, and Randy Hughes.’’
“Offensively,” the coach
continued, “we moved the
ball well all night but were
unable to cash in on several
scoring opportunities. Timmy
Parker and Eddie Bums ran
well and Darrell Huskins
played well at Quarterback.
Darrell threw two touchdown
passes and ran for one TD.
Walter Henson, Jeff Harding,
and Rocky Styles played well
at receiver.”
This was a big win for the
Cougars. They have worked
hard and have never quit.
Coach Hughes stated that
"They deserved this win and I
believe we’ll play well the

Burnsville Theatre Group
Seeks Permanent Facility
The growth of the Burns

bership and productions has
prompted the group to seek a ~
permanent building to be
used as a theatre.
At a recent meeting the
officers and members of
Burnsville Little Theatre una
nimously agreed that a
permanent year-round facility
is needed for the continued
presentation of quality enter
tainment by the group.
Presently the theatre group
relies on area churches and
schools for facilities.
In the past, lack of
adequate rehearsal and pro
duction space has limited the
Burnsville Little Theatre in
the areas of set design,
lighting, costumes, and in the
type of productions they have
construction studs. Mrs. Shirley Edwards, teacher, rounded up
the materials and Glenn Adkins, custodian, provided the
carpentry services. Painting was done by student*. The relaxed

According to the presi
dent, Theresa Coletta, they
are turning to the community
to fill this need of the Little
Theatre. The group is a
non-profit organization with
limited funds, and for that
reason is asking for the
donation of the use of a
building or space that could
be converted into a theatre.
The Little Theatre group
would pay expenses such as
utilities. Donation of a renj
free facility would provide a
tax deduction for the owner.
If anyone has a. building or

is the responsibility of each

Several activities on ener
gy conservation are planned
this week in North Carolina.
Many television and radio
statiqns have invited guests to
discuss energy conservation
on their shows. Civic clubs,

will also focus on energy
conservation to educate peo

ways to conserve.
Colorful billboards will be

It is not true that
conserving energy means
complete sacrifice of the
luxuries we enjoy, but we
should use these luxuries
sensibly. Energy conservation
