Decatur ls victorious.
When the Decatur sextette invaded
the HJC territory Friday night they met
with hard fight, but they emerged vic
torious. The Holmes lassies took an
early lead in the game and held it until
the third period was nearly through
Then the invading team raised their
score above the dead line and kept it
that way until the close. The final score
was 35-29 in their favor. Fast, clean
ball was played throughout the game
This is the second time this year that
the Holmes sextette has met defeat.
In the fastest and closest game played
in the Holmes gymnasium this year
the local boys won over the Decatur
quintette by margin of one point.
From the start the game moved swiftly
and the defense was neglected in favor
of the offense. Eearly in the first
quarter Coach Thomas ran in a COM
pletely new team while at the same
time new team from Decatur was
placed on the floor. Neither team ever
ran up high score over the other and
after the half the high score was in
first our teams favor and then in the
others. In the last quarter fouls on the
Decatur team helped the HJC Bulldogs
take the lead at several times. Adair
probably did the most outstanding play
ing with the shots he made from the
"hub" position. Fast clean bpeaking
and fast handling of the ball kept the
game above par in action. The final
score was 1886 in favor of the HJC
Bulldogs.
The students of Misses Hickman, Hen
derson, and Thaxton, gave recital on
Thursday evening at seven o'clock in
Holmes Junior College auditorium. The
program consisted of piano solos, quar-
tettes, (boys and girls) solos, and ex-
preston numbers and violin numbers.
Following this excellent recital news
reel, prevent Forest Fires" was given
by Mr.. T. M. Williams Of Lexington. This
was an interesting program which told
how everyone should help to prevent
forest fires and why.
For the chapel program at Holmes
Jr. College Friday morning, DR.. Bond
of Greenwood, talked to the students on
the Value of the Social Security Act
Three factors which concerned social se-
curity: Q) Decent homes to live in, (2)
Development of natural resources CD
and safeguards against the major mis-
fortunes of life. The people will re-

fits payable at 65 years of age; lump
