HSC Gets Success Story
In Winning Season 1917

If anyone is looking for
classic success story in terms of
a basketball team, he need look
no farther than the Hampden-
Sydney Tigers. Coming from a
reorganiZing season last year
when they started with almost a
new team. and working under
new coach, they moved to a
winring season in '61-62 The
Tigers have once more proved
hat old rroverb Of getting out
Of something just what you put
into it,. Ever since the season
began nothing less than the best
has been good enough in the
7iay of performance as far as
Coach Bill Pegram is concerned.
And the same feeling was held
BY the players, fact easily seer
By looking at the record: 16

The secre. behind this one

actors; the work and st ategy
Of Coac.i Iegram and the desire
and work Of the players them
selves. The run-a d-shoot type Of
offense that Coach Pegram en-

Conference.

We would like to see Hamp-
den-Sydney with a big man in
the center position, with Hardin
playing under the basket. and
taking feed shots from the big
man in center. In situation
like this Bill would run up some
fantastic scores. He is not quite
tall enough for the center po-
Sltion. even though he does an
outstanding job there He con
sistently outjumped his oppo
ments who were two and three
inches taller than he.
When you get mixed up with
the Yankees you can always ex-

tournament games and scored

College. Yet when they came

Without needing to empha-
size the fact that a sea voyage
isn't something you think up
one day and sail on the next,
the steamship lines are out
with many of their 1926
cruise schedules.
Ocean travel is Up and the
sailings are keeping pace. Even
the short cruise, be it down the
st. Lawrence or a five-day
cruise to the Caribbean, takes
some planning.
Any travel agent will gladly
tell you that now it the time
to begin thinking about the
next one, even if you've Just
returned.
Britain's venerable Cunard
Line. 122 years old this month,
has announced PIT sailings on
its 1868 transatlantic sched-
ule, but captures the wander
lust of more vacation-minded
in the Washington area with
first cruise of the Queen Eliza
beth into Nassau waters in
February.
Largest passenger ship ever
to visit the Bahamas, the SUI
perliner will make three five
day cruises from New York
during February and March.
The offerings over the sea
lanes are almost countless in
every direction.
However incongruous it may
sound, the American Automo-

pages of cruise schedules.
Among them is optimistic
conjecture that the United

to carry the burdens of our
educational system on her
shoulders.
QUESTION: In our State a
child has to be 6 on or before
September 90 to be able to
attend public school. Our
daughter was 6 a few weeks
later, so we decided to keep
her home this year rather than
send her to a private school.
We have been told that we
made a mistake in not sending
her to private school. that
children do better if they start
school young. What do you
think about this?
ANSWER: There are no hard
and fast rules about the age
a child should be upon enter
ing school. There is really moth
ing magic about the number 6.
In some countries children
start at Z, and do well enough.
Or they may begin at 5. Much
depends upon the emotional
and social maturity of the
child.
In any case, I don't think
you have lost anything by
waiting a year. Your daughter
may be able to adjust better,
and be a happier child as a
result of this enforced years
wait. My daughter Carla, now
16, had to repeat kindergarten
because her birthday fell out
side the regulation entrance
date for first grade. Because
she was an older child in her
class, she became a leader, and
never did have trouble adjust
ing.

QUESTION: Should the av-
erage second grader, aged Z, at
tend full time summer school? II
seems that the schools, teachers
and mothers indorSe the sum-
mer program. But I am a
minority of one who feels that
summer should be for leisure
Even though our daughter is
a poor reader, I think early
school hours in the heat of
summer are undesirable. Am ]
wrong in keeping my daughter
home for a ,carefree summer?
Am I neglecting her potential
education?
ANSWER: In my opinion, you
are right in keeping her out of
school this summer. 1t seems
to me that the school year is
long cough for a 7-year-old.
If the school can't improve
your child's reading during the
regular session, why should it
expect to do a better job during
the hot summer months? Be-
sides, why start worrying at
this early stage in your child's
development? Seven is a fine
time for a youngster to have
fun, to romp at the beach or
go with her parents on week.

country. Ever since Sputnik I
have heard this get tough"
attitude, this Tets not waste

You may be in the minority,

ciSion should be made on the
basis of popular vote. Do what
you think best for your child.
