City Library Loans Over 3,000 Books
In Summer; Awards 21 Certificates
Hugghins from Bulah also earn-
ed these certificates.
Several other young people read
enough books to get certificates
but failed to turn in their qualify-
ing reports, Mrs. Mehner said.
By months the circulation of
books were: August 1100, July
1093, June 1011. The library was
open three days a week, a total
of only 38 days through the sum-
mer. During this time 3204 books
were let out to readers. The larg-
est number during any one day
was 157. On each of eleven days
over 100 beoks were taken out.
The library has a membership
of about 700 of whom about 375
have actually used their cards
since the first of February 1958.
Membership cards will be granted
on request. The library is on N.
Main Street, almost opposite the
firehouse.

Eaglets To Face St. Gregory's In
Jr. High Opener Here Thursday Night
PAGE 9
Rusk Junior High gridders
Thursday night will take on their
first opponent of the season and
their first game without the us-
ual help of their upper classmen,
the ninth graders.
They meet St. Gregory's of Ty-
ler here Thursday night at 7:30 in
In past years, the Texas Confer-
ence laymen have sponsored the
buiding of airconditioned cabina
at Lakeview and assisted financ-
ially in the education of minis-
ters. Other projects include a pro-
gram for improving the effective-
ness of the local churches by the
setting of certain standards by
the board of lay activities. Church-
es which reach the standards are
presented certificates of merit at
the close of each conference year.
the Eaglets' season opener
Coach Bruce Pruett's 22-man
squad this year will face a tough
schedule, and it will be 7th and
8th graders who'll try to stay atop
of it.
Ninth graders, who normally
play with the Junior High squad,
this year stepped up to high sch-
ool competition, leaving grades 7
and 8 to do battle with usually-
strong foes.
The younger, lighter team this
year has generated an unusual
amount of enthusiasm despite tho
loss of their bigger teammates,
Coach Pruett said. "They feel like
winning," he said, "and that's one
of the most important ingredi-
ents."
Pruett lamented the loss of
some of his squad members sincq
I practice opened. "We'll especially
i miss Leslie IJles, tackle candidate,
who had to drop out because of
. illness," Pruett said. "He was ab-
jout our strongest boy."
For Thursday night's game here,
' Pruett gave the following proba-
ble starting line-up.
Center, Pat Smith; LG, Bruce
Stovall; RG, Steven Tackett; LT,
John Hood or Larry Johnston; RT,
Mike Chapman; LE, Robert Hen-
derson; RE, Ronnie Birkelbach;
QB, Mark Seale; RH, Brooke Day;
LH, Ronnie Travis; FB, David)
Grogan.
Phillip Powers, at quarterback,
and Joe Allen may also see a goocj
deal of action, Pruett indicated,
since they have been working
hard and showing up good in prac-
tice sessions.
Thursday night's game may be
the last for two weeks, the way it
appeared this week, Pruett said.
Tuesday he had not been able to
schedule games for the two dates,
leaving the Eaglets with a seven-
game schedule.
