national proclamation was noF
only historical but marked
another milestone in vocation
al education. Health Occupa
tions students in Western
North Carolina are especially
proud because the first
national president is from the
western district. The national
president is Lynn McGee from
Brevard. North Carolina was
represented by a 49 member
delegation composed of stu
dents and local and state
advisors. _
We as Health Occupations

that North Carolina was one of
the founders of the National

Panthers Defeat
Newland Indians
The East Yancey Panthers
picked up a pair of convincing
wins against the Newland
Indians here last week.
In the girls contest the
Lady Panthers won easily,
despite a lackluster perfor
mance in the second half of
the game. In the first half they
combined a balanced offense
with a stingy defense to run
up a 23 to 4 lead. With
substitutes gaining valuable
playing time in the second
half, East Yancey scored only
2 points, but it was more than
enough as they held on to win
by a margin of 25 to 9. High
scorer for the Panthers was
Tammy Simmons with 6
points. She was followed
closely by Violet Briggs with
5, Kelly Chrisawn, Sandra
Autrey, and Pam Robinson
with 4 each and Mary Huskins
with 2.
The boys game saw East
Yancey place dieven players
in the scoring column as they
completely dominated New
land, winning by a score of 75
to 23.
The game was never close

as East Yancey opened up a
16 to 0 first quarter lead on
the strength of a pressure
defense led by Brett Hughes
who picked up six steals in the
first quarter. The offensive
charge was led by Joey
Wilson who scored 19 points
and gathered in 12 rebounds
despite playing less than half
of the game. Next came
defensive standout Brett
Hughes with 10, Randal
