Powhatan Hi Notes

The PoWhatan Indians are off
to a good start in basketball
again this year. Last Tuesday
they defeated Beaumont 40-47.
Thursday Rockville gave us n
slight upset but only by three
points I'VE can still hope for the
championship again this year,
The operetta given by the Pow
hatan elementary Glee Club last
Wednesday night was excellent.
We were all very proud Of the
younger generation at Powhatan
High. All of the cast worked very
hard to make it success.
Thursday the high school glee
club and band made recordings
for WASHINGTON. OF course we're
hoping for wonderful outcome
from them.
Sunday afternoon, the high
school Glee Club and band pre-
sented a Christmas program. We
were very glad to have such a
large crowd for one of the best
concerts ever presented
If you see any Of the Juniors
walking around with an out
hand it's just because
they have gotten their school
rings.
