Friday evening at 8:30 the Tea and Topic Club will sponsor a square dance on State street between the red light at Montreat road and the Methodist church. All proceeds will be given to the fund wjjich is being raised for the high school band. Eugene Byrd, president of the Black Mountain High school alum ni association, sponsors of the weekly dances, has lined up some of the best talent in Western North Carolina to furnish the music. Identity of the band has not been revealed but there’ll be plenty of toe tapping and torso swaying when the band gives out with that “good old mountain music” along about 8:30 Satur day evening. R. T. Greene, who has managed the dances for the alumni associa tion, said today that Harold Brown, Luque Medford, Garland Bryson and Roy Stepp will be on hand to do the calling. Most spon sors would consider a dance a success if they had even one of these lads to direct traffic—but to have all four at once—that’s just another indication of how much effort the Tea and Topic Club and alumni officials have extended to assure a good time for all those who attend. Along about sundown when the air starts to cool and the breezes blow’ in from Blue Ridge, Mon treat, and Ridgecrest, the crowd will begin to drift toward State street, downtown Black Mountain. Those who can’t be there will miss the treat of the season and one big evening of fun and frolic. Put on your Sunday best or your everyday duds-—but be present. There’ll be rings for young, old, and the inbetweens. You can take your choice with no questions asked.

Rogers has pounded out eight hits in 14 official trips to the saucer for an average of .571. More than 100 points behind are Ingram of Clearwater with .416 and Ramsey of the Youth Center and Wilson of Clearwater with .400 each. In compiling the averages for the Big Ten, league officials con sidered only those who had been to bat 10 or more times. As the hot weather works the kinks out of the old soup bone, averages are due to hit skid row. —THE BIG TEN— Team AB R H avg. Rogers, Staff_14 8 8 .571 Ingram, Clw. _12 3 5 .416 Ramsey, Y.
