down twins, Ron Mccoy and
Bob Boyer, again paced the local
attack. Mccoy tailed two tbs
and Boyer scored once. The
blocking of the linemen played
an important part in Saturdays
victory. Coach Horney substi-
tuted freely in his line with no
weakening tendency apparent.
The depth available in this years
line may spell the difference in
whether this team can 60 all the
way. Tomorrow night the Eagles

New 75O-Seat Field House Readied
For Eagles 50 Basketball Season

Smyrna High School will soon
have its new field house ready
for use. 1t is good news to those
living near the school because
the noise and dirt of construc-
ton will soon be replaced by the
beautiful new building shown
here in the architects drawing.
1t is good news to the boys and
girls who will benefit by the
new facilities and who are anxi-
ously awaiting its completion.
Despite rescheduling of both
gym classes, and plans of the
physical education department
and teachers, the increased en-
rollment has made conditions in
the present high school gym be-
low the high standards that
folks have come to expect from
Smyrna schools. 1t is good news
to the students and community
alike because it will mean a
better location for sporting con-
tests. Coach Bill Horney's foot
ball team will now dress for
their contests in the new struc-
ture. This will do away with the
present set-up which requires
boys to change in the high
school locker rooms and cross
Frazier Street to the field. A
modern, enl arg e d basketball
court will be the site of all the
Eagles home games. The new
arrangement will enable specta-
tors to view games more close
ly. 1t will also free the auditor
ium for use in other capacities.

New Out-of-TOwn
Dialing System To

To Smyrna Lions

A revolutionary new kind of
telephone service that will let
you dial your own out-of-town
calls straight through to the
called telephone without aid of
an operator will be discussed
and demonstrated before the
Smyrna Lions Club at a meeting
held at 6:29 pm. on Monday,

Albert S. Barnes, supervisor,
Customer Information of the
Diamond State Telephone Com
pany. In addition to describing
the new service, MIR. Barnes will
demonstrate some of the amaz-
ing equipment which makes it
possible. Included in these DEM
onstrations will be a device
which converts ordinary tele-
phone numbers into musical
tones and the so-called Card
Translator, an almost human
mechanism which is capable of
selecting in a fraction of a Sec
ond from over billion possible
combinations the particular tele-
phone pathway which will speed
your out-of-town call to its des-
tination untouched by human
hands. The program is in charge
of Wells Campbell, past presi-
dent of the club.

High School Field House, mod
ern to the last detail, is not the
only building under construction
around the secondary school. A
new industrial arts building is
nearing completion on the east
side Of the school. A new shop
will mean more young men will
receive an opportunity for spec
ialized training in these fields.
With the old, smaller shop, it
was necessary over the past
three years to refuse enrolment
in these courses because of
crowded conditions. With the
construction of a new shop and
the installation of new equip
ment, Smyrna High will have a
shop second to few on the pen
insula. These new buildings
point up the fact that our
schools realize education is not
just for those on their way to
college, but that it is the right
of all our young people. The
schools further realize the duty
to meet the needs of all who
come to its doors seeking know
ledge. The Smyrna district
knows full we'll that the future
of our town, state, and nation
lies in its hands. Smyrna Schools
are rising, and will continue to
rise, to the challenge of prepar-
ing our citizens of tomorrow.
