Jackets Fall To Powerhouses
Sylva Webster And Franklin
By Liny Ford
Oa January 14, the Yellow
Jacket boys buzzed the
home- nest of the Sylva-Webster
Golden Eagles but they would
bam done well to have stayed
on this side of Buck Creek.
Led by over-powering John
Henry Norman, the Eagles flew
?way with the game to the
tune of 1)5-52.
Even to, it wasn't all that
bad. The Jacket's first unit saw
but tittle action all night, with
most of that coming in the first
quarter.
Syhra led (surprised) at the
lend of the first period, 29-8.
The reserve units of both
teams emerged in the second
jquarter and the Jackets battled
Sylva on nearly even terms.
Hayesville scored 23 points,
with 14 of them coming from
Ray Noland, and Sylva tossed
in 26. The score stood 57-31 at
the half.
John Henry and his bunch
of Golden Turkey Buzzards
swept over the courts again in
the th id quarter, pushing the
score to 99-38. It might be safe
to say that the Sylva fans
snelled victory and clamored
foor more.
With a 61 point lead, the
Sylva coach finally felt that
playing his reserves again might
not do much harm. True to
previous form, both second
units were evenly matched.
Hayesville netted 14; Sylva, 16
, to push the final mark to
115-52.
Ray Noland led Hayesville
with IS. Cary Braken had II.
Scoring: Noland 15; C.
Bracken 11; Bary Lunsford 8;
Ron MacDowell 6; Ronnie
Maitin 4; Dave Beal 3; Mike
Hoped 2; Daryle McClure 2;
Dennis Myeis 1; Dave Bracken;
Rex Ledford.
FRANKLIN AT
HAYESVILLE JANUARY 17
The arrival of the Franklin
Panthers spelled double- trouble
for the Jackets last Friday.
The girts' game figured to be
a scoring match between Peggy
Huscusson of Franklin and the
Jackets' incomparable Betty
Coffey.
Both teams' defenses proved
to be "a tough nut to crack"
indeed. The score at the end of
the first period stood only 8-7
for Hayesville.
The Yellow Jackets doubled
their score by half-time, with
the "Coffey Kids" collecting
all the Jackets' points but one.
Janice Coker did the honors on
that one. But the ' Panthers
added a few points themselves
and led 18-16.
Bouncing back in the third,
the Jackets stung the Panthers
heavily on the scoring of Betty
Coffey. Coffey tossed in a few
shots just before the quarter
ended to give Hayesville the
lead, 33-29.
The Yellow Jackets were on
the victory trail in the fourth
when q. fate befell the Jackets
that was worse than when
Egypt said, "Well ring my
chimes", and Ural rang 'em.
One-half of the "Coffey Crew
Lois, fouled out. Her exit was
followed by that of Clara
Nelson, a superb foward who
can play guard, as she has been
doing in the past few games.
The Panthers quickly took
advantage and pushed the final
score to 45-41 for Franklin.
Betty and Lois Coffey
scored 17 and 14 points,
respectively, for Hayesville.
Scoring: B. Coffey 17; L
Coffey 14; Angie Kitchens 4;
Clara Nelson 2; Mary Rogers 2;
Susan White 1; Janice Coker 1;
Connie Lunsford.
Reponding to the challenge
of one of the SMC s
upper-echelon teams, the
Hayesville boys produced one
of their better first-half efforts
all year.
Although the top-ranked
Panthers led 17-16 at the end
of the first and 41-32 at half,
the Jackets were continually
tied with, and ahead of, the
Panthers. Through the first
half, the Jackets were led by
newly-discovered Ray Noland
and Freshman Barry Lunsford.
Though unofficial, this
reporter believes that Noland
had a fantastic shooting
percentage in the game, missing
only two shots.
The Jackets ran into trouble
in the third when Senior guard
Daryle McClure, a scrappy
defender, and Lunsford fouled
out. This helped the Panthers
to a 71-49 lead at the end of
the third period.
The Yellow Jackets actually
out-scored Franklin in the
fourth, 21 points to 20. The
game ended with Franklin
winning, 91-70.
Three Yellow Jackets hit
double figures. Noland with
17, Dennis Myers had 15, and
Ron Mac Do well followed with
12
Scoring: Noland 17; Myers
15; MacDowell 12; Lunsford 9;
Mike Hogsed 9; Ronnie Martin
4; Daryle McClure 4; Dave
Beal; Cary Bracken.

Youth Speaks Out
By Hal McSwain
Last Monday, Ex-president
Lyndon B. Johnson's "Great
Society' stepped aside for
President Richard M. Nixon's
'Forward Together' policy and
his succession into the -highest
office of the most powerful
and advanced nation in the
world. Upon entering office as
the thirty-seventh president of
the United States, Mr. Nixon
vowed to accept the
responsibilities of his office
and face the problems of the
nation and in turn, to embark
into four eventful years of
social and political change.
Few people realize the
significance of Mr. Nixon's
decisions- to-be and the way he
changes eight years of
Democratic party rule into
Republican hands.
First and foremost of
President Nixon's headaches
and ulcers: PEACE in Vietnam.
Sliding past timely red-tape in
In Service
ALFRED D. GALLOWAY, Jr.,
ALBUQUERQUE,
N.M. -Alfred D. Galloway, Jr.,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Davis
Galloway, Rt. 2, Waynesville,
has been promoted to staff
sergeant in the U.S. Air Force.
Sergeant Galloway, a
weapons mechanic at Kirtland
AFB, N.M., is a member of the
Air Force Systems Command.
The sergeant, a 1963
graduate of Waynesville
Township High School, has
completed a tour of duty in
Vietnam.
His wife, Avalene, is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Harold Anderson, Rt. 2,
Hayesville.
getting big things done quickly
is one of Mr. Nixon's
specialties. We can expect some
quick action and change in the
war in Vietnam.
Second in internal struggle
within our own country. The
crime wave and the mass riots
that have scarred and
blackened the country will
have a late start in
development. Action taken in
the Vietnam situation will be
first on the list and take most
of Mr. Nixon's time.
Third on the agenda will be
advances in civil rights. These
changes will be slow, but
conditions will steadily
improve. Changes in civil rights
can only be made with changes
in social attitude.
Fourth, but probably the
most critical of the four is
improving the sad condition of
the national budget. Mr. Nixon
has vowed to decrease out
national debt and at the same
time, to decrease the amount
taken out of each dollar for
taxes by lowering government
expendiatures. Good Luck....
Though Ex-president
Johnson has stated that his
years in office have left him
with nothing but happiness,
given another year, Mr.
Johnson would have left his
office with nothing but
bitterness toward his nation
and his office. President Nixon
has expressed his concern for
and willingness to work with
others in helping improve
national and international
social conditions, world peace,
and working relations with
other nations. President Nixon
has dedicated himself, his
office, and his persona) wisdom
to the advancement that the
world never thought possible.

Ogden Discusses Work Of
OEO In Their Community
By Sibyl Bell, Reporter
The Ogden Community
meeting was held Tuesday,
January 14 at 7:30 p.m. for
the purpose of discussing and
planning the proposal for
Four-Square. Lena Green,
community worker, in the
absence of the president,
introduced the target leader,
Mr. Charles Parker.
The following agenda was
discussed: community
servicing, community
organization, trellis tomatos,
peppers and other small crops,
manpower development and
emergency food. An open
discussion was held on the
work of Four-Square in the
area. Each person participated
in the discussion.
Anderson Bell, agricultural
L
representative on the board
gave several helpful suggestions
on the growing of small crops.
He felt that peppers might be a
profitable crop for many of the
families, as it did not require as
much ready cash. He also felt
that tomatos would be good
for some families.
Each phase of the proposal
was discussed as to its volume
in benefiting low income
families. The Ave areas of
service were enthusiasticly
approved by the group.
The business session was
follwed by an hour of
fellowship with the young
people leading the adults in
music, singing and a contest.
Refreshments were served.
The next meeting will be
held February 17 at 7:30 p.m.
at the Ogden School.
