and boxes Of EN-, 90 to Martyr
Goodman and Betty Davis, CO.
head cheerleaders, and the rest o
the squad, Bobby Melton, Patty
Switzerland, Sara Kay Jordan,
Jean Cross. Malcolm Crawford,
ard Janice Harvell. They have
really done an awful lot o. work
to put W. a well-planned week
end, with a spirited pep rally,
snake dance, and bon fire setting
it off Thursday night. And that
very wonderful dance that was
held at the high school Friday
night honoring the football team,
turned out to be a terrific success,
After Raleigh ran score over US
Friday night three points, we all
telt mighty blue. Our fightin
team, and believe me, they are
really a fightin' bunch of fellas
came mighty close to beating
them, but the jinx settled down
on us for the eighteenth year ant
the game ended with a score o
1919. Between boxes Of popcorn
and Raleigh touchdowns, Leonart
Colley and Glasgow Hicks pu
themselves wholly into yelling TO
that game to end our way. How
ard Penton and D. c. North wer'
hoping and hollering right alonl
with everybody else, and H. L
Keith and Larry Dagenhart wer'
pulling mighty hard for our boys
But here's hoping We run ZEN
down next year! Everybod.

The teen-agers in Wilmington
are proving more SO every day to
possess outstanding talent. Eliza
beth Poplin, junior at MINIS, sub
mitted her second : prize short
story Of the O'Henry Literary So
ciety contest to the nationally cir
culated magazine, Seventeen"
The story will appear in the Jaau-
ary issue. And if you happened to
be tuned in on the Teen Age Mer-
ry-Go : Round yesterday morning,
you would have heard a mighty
good program put on by the teen
ayers on which another discovery
was made. Coe Sturm, son Of Mr..
and Mrs. r. j. Sturm, wrote a
very pretty ballad, "Rose in the
RAIN" and sung it exceptionally
]. well over the radio. Quoting Ben
| Mcdonald, director: 1T is more
Of this type Of talent and show
that we need, and we'd like to
see and hear all the younger folk
that compose on this program. We
are here to bring you what you
want and to offer you the oppor-
tunity to display such talent"
