too plump to ride. Our thanks

up In the first quarter A pass
from Benny Blount to Warren
Await accounted for 28 yards,
and Douglas Whiteside carried
over for the first tally. The kick
for extra poipt was blocked.
Early in the second period,
Larry Folk, on a reverse play,
plowed through for twenty-
three yards from the Allen 26.
Lane carried from the three for
the second Eagle score. Again
the try for extra point failed.
Later in the second quarter,
Blount passed to Folk on the

the score 20 for the Eagles and
0 for Allen.

was the interception by Milton
Carroll, who carried over for
the touchdown to bring the
Eagles out front by twenty-
seven points. In the same
period, Benny Blount, on a fake
hand-off, carried the ball from
the Rambler 28 to score the fifth

SOPHOMORE SERENADE
Things have been rather
quiet around F. H. S. this week,
but next week looks promising.
The first six weeks of this term
have elapsed and tests are on
the way! Books which have been
laid aside for some time will
probably be brought out in a
last attempt to study.
The Sophs may be the last
(but surely not least) to dis-
cuss the subject of football. But,
we are justly proud of our three
boys on the squad. Charles Rob-
inson. Gene Richardson and
Donald Wood are doing a fine
job and they may be sure that
we are behind them “one-hun-
dred percent.”

! FRESHMAN HAPPENINGS
Since the Freshmen are not-
ed for their ability to know all
about everything that happens
and most of the time in every-
thing; our sponsor has a hectic
time keeping up with us. Mr.
Cameron seems to he doing fine
though. He has become quite a
football announcer and has
even begun to take in rodeos.
He did a fine job announcing
the contestants at the FFA Roys
Rodeo Saturday night.
We are honored to haVe the
Freshmen represented on the
annual staff. We’re sure that
Sally Bonner and Nancy Hart
will come through with flying
colors on their jobs. We are also
proud of Benny Blount who
assisted Warren Await as cap-
tains of the Allen Academy game
Thursday night.

order to relieve eye strain.
To ail who assisted in ways
