Warhorses To
Play At Erwin
High Friday
By Don Shuman
The Brevard Blue Devils
toppled the Owen Warhorses,
41-0, at Brevard Friday as
they upped their record to
5-1. The loss was the sixth
of the year for the Warhorses.
In the first quarter the
Warhorses took the kickoff
on their five yard line and
drove to the 25 where they
were forced to punt. Brevard
took the ball on the 47. Nine
plays later Don Metcalf drove
over from the one to climax
this 53 yard drive. Again
Owen lost the ball on downs.
On the second play Brevard’s
Ollie Johnson raced around
right end from 47 yards out
to score the Blue Devils’
second touchdown.
Recover Fumble
In the second Don Metcalf
scored on a three yard plunge
to climax a 77 yard drive.
After punting once more
Owen recovered a fumble on
the Brevard 48. Again Bre
vard took over as four passes
fell incomplete. The Owen
line hit hard as the Blue
Devils tunned butterfingers
and the Warhorses recovered
at the 48 again. Brevard
then intercepted a pass to
stall Owen’s drive. With one
minute left in the half Bre
vard’s Don Peevy connected
an aerial to Buddy Hulf to
pace the Blue Devils to a
27-0 lead at the half.
The i Warhorse defense
tightened for the first six
minutes of the third. Then
with two minutes left Paul
Scruggs raced 38 yards to
climax a 62 yard drive. On
the kickoff Owen took the
ball on the one foot line. On
the next play Owen’s Ron
nie Watkins was tackled in
the end zone for a safety.
Final Score
In the fourth Don Peevy
slipped through tackle from
three yards out for Brevard’s
last score. With four minutes
left in the game Owen put
together a strong defense and
offense that brought every
one to their feet. Owen’s
Harry Hamil recovered a
fumble on the Owen 24 and
broke loose for what looked
like an Owen score, but Bre

will dance in competition Sat
urday Oct. 19, at the State

. ates the year of competition
‘ which started with the Swan
’ nanoa Folk Festival where
• they won first place for the
| third consecutive year. They
also placed first in the Moun
tain Youth Jamboree in Ashe
ville for the second straight
Year. Also at the Jamboree
Janeen McNaryand Jerome
Hill were chosen by competi
tion as the most graceful
couple. This team victory
qualified them to compete in
the N. C. State Fair Square
Dance competition. This sum
mer they placed third in the
Highlands Folk Festival. This
was in open competition
agdinst college and high school
teams. Last month the team
won the Junior Championship
at the Hendersonville Apple
Festival. The State Fail
will be their last opportunity
to compete together as many
of them will have to move
into other levels of competi
, tion thereby splitting the
team.
Jimmy Stakias has been
their regular caller with Billy
Laughter substitute caller.
Mrs. Joan Brown and Mrs.
Norma McNary have been
their coaches.
Although the team has
earned part of the money
needed to make the Raleigh
trip, they are short of funds.
The team hopes some of the
civic clubs or interested in
dividuals can help them make
this two day trip. They have
represented Black Mountain
well over the past two years
and the entire team is to
be commended.
The Senior Womans Club
board voted Monday to give
$20 to help the team with
expenses and other clubs are
expected to give their sup
port. The little team has
done much to promote Black
Mountain with their dancing
and with recognition gained
, in Raleigh they will further

J
I
Christmount Christian Assembly honored two of its most
enthusiastic supporters with citations during the summer
leason, proclaiming their merits. From the October issue of 1
rHE CHRISTMOUNT VOICE comes the write up as it ap
peared in that publication.
MARY ELIZABETH ALESHIRE
Mrs. Aleshire was Living in
Black Mountain before 'Jhrist
mount idea was conceived.and
contributed much to its pro
gress. She was an active
charter member of the organi
zation now knowiv, as Women
for Christmount, which was
organized in her home, Oak
Knoll. This home has been
used many times since for
the entertainment of guests
to Christmount both for over
night and for receptions.
Since the beginning of the
Assembly, Mrs. Aleshire as
Historian, kept huge scrap
books filled with clippings,
pictures and items of interest
to future generations; as As
sistant Secretary, she kept
minutes of the monthly ex
ecutive committee meetings
because Mr. Nay was not able
to be present; after the re
signation of Dr. Haislip, she
assumed the editorship of the
Christmount Voice for sever
al years; her latest concern
has been the Haislip Memor
ial Library and the book store
for the sale of books sent on
consignment from the Chris
tian Board of Publication.

Christmount have Only been
BRUCE NAY
Mr. Bruce Nay, while
preaching in Georgia, became
interested in Christmount
through the information giv
en him by Judge Jarvis, one
of the three elders of the
Asheville church who did so
much to get the assembly
started.
Mr. Nay is a native of Ill
inois, studied for the ministry
at Johnson Bible College and
several years ago received
the Distinguished Ministers
pin for 50 years of preaching
the gospel. He has been sec
retary of the Board of Direct
ors of the assembly for al
most its entire existence, has
not only given generously to
various projects but has as
sisted in keeping the grounds
in neat condition and has ser
ved willingly in any way pos
sible.
Mr. and Mrs. Nay built a
home in Christmount to have
ready for his retirement but
Mrs.' Nay’s death in less than
a year afterwards saddened
the whole community. Since
then, he has entertained many
visitors to the Assembly, as
well as his own friends.
CITATION
Bruce Nay, the Christian
Man, Small of Stature, Large
of Heart and Purpose; Man
of the People, Man of God,
Brought his Unusual Gifts to
Christmount, opened his Heart,
Emptied his Purse, acted as
a Good Scribe should by keep
ing faithful minutes, and in
spired us all by Greeting each
day as “The Finest in the
World.” Armed sometimes
with Pencil, Sometimes with
ax and saw, always with
Swift Feet and Eager Heart,
he has Turned his Hands to
Whatever Needed to be done
If an extra Dollar was want
ed, he found it; if a Word of
Exceeded by her Guts to the
Whole Family of Man. When
Christmount was but a Rap
turous Dream she Brought her
Rare an Indomitable Spirit to
bear upon every Facet of
every Legitimate Hope and
Promise. She Undergirded
each Effort and Undertak
ing with an Urgent and Facile
Pen, a Knowledgeable and
Coaxing Voice and a Discern
ing and Warm Heart.. By
Dreaming Larger than the
Times could Understand, she
made Gold out of Brass and
Spurred every Heart to Build
Wisely, Nobly and Well.
Through her Gallant Spirit
and Untiring Efforts she has
Bequeathed to Christmount
a Legacy of Doing the Im
possible Today; the Possible
Tomorrow. Because of her,
We can Salute tomorrow with
Faith, Courage and Serenity,
and Today we Salute Her as
the Good Lord’s Gift to the
World, but most Especially
to Christmount.

preciation on this the Seventh

Encouragment was required,
he uttered it; if the Day was
Dark, he tried to dispel the
gloom by his unfailing Belief
that God is in His Heaven and
to him who Believed and
Worked, the Path would un
fold. So long as there is a
Christmount, indeed so long
as there is a Christian to Re
member, this Giving of him
self will be reverently and
warmly cherished. In the
language of Martin Luther,
we Salute him as the Chris

JYs Defeat
David-Millard
For 5th Win
By Don Shuman
The Owen JVs turned fourth
quarter chargers as they
scored with five minutes left
in the game for an 18-12
victory over the David Millard
Terriers at Shuford Field
Thursday. Just a week ago
Owen scored with two minutes
left in the game for a 12-6
victory over Hendersonville.
The Warhorses seem to spec
ialize in fourth quarter vic
tories.
In the first quarter half
back Ted Luckadoo scored
Owen’s first touchdown from
10 yards out to climax a 60
yard drive. The extra point
failed as Owen seized a 6-0
lead.
Tie Score
In the second an aerial
covering 65 yards from quart
erback Fred Ivey to end Rog
er Silvers gave Owen a 12-0
lead. Again the extra point
failed. Midway the second
Gary Hill of David Millard
broke loose for a 30 yard
touchdown run to trim Owen’s
lead to six points.
Gary Hill drove across the
goal line from 10 yards out
in the third as David Millard
tied the game 12-12.
Then with five minutes left
in the game, Ted Luckadoo
drove through the left side
of the line from seven yards
out to notch the Warhorses
fifth victory of the season.
The extra point failed for
the third straight time. A
short kickoff to David Mil
lard gave the Terriers the
ball on their 40. The War
horse defense held strong as
they took the ball on downs.
Owen looking for a possible
fourth touchdown drove to the
DM 20 yard line as the game
ended.
Outstanding defensive play
ers for the Warhorses were
Jerry Bridges, Jim Parton,
Ronnie Lewis, and Mike Me

The Owen JVs have an
open date this week. Next.

To begin with, said the

The house is made up of
