Sacred Heart School in Many Activities (By ANNE ROGERS) ATLANTA, Ga. — Sacred Heart's basketball team of Atlanta bows to Mt. St. Joseph of Augusta! Not bitterly, however, for the Sacred Heart sextet had such a glorious time entertaining the victorious team from Augusta that the 24-13 score seemed not such a blow. Both teams played well, but the beau tiful long-distance shots of the M. S. J. cagers were particularly outstanding. The visitors were entertained at a banquet after the game, and later at a show party. Speeches were made by Miss Phil Andrews, M. S. J. coach, and Mrs. Opal McKay, 9. H. S. -coach. Several days later Sacred Heart came back with a 19-7 victory over Fulton High. You can’t keep a good team down! Also in the limelight is the sixth grade sextet from S. H. S. With a season of nine games, two were lost, one was tied, and the other six were smash victories! Erawn as well as brains prevails at Sacred Heart. In the way of social events, particu larly interesting is the announcement of a play to be given by the Juniors. The presentation will take place in April and, since this class is noted for its histrionic talent, it is sure to be a success. The stars of this cne-act comedy, which is entitled, “Thanks Awfully”, are Marian Gillooley, An gelyn Collins, and Gloria Jcnes. Another festivity was the St. Pat rick's Day party given by the alum nae. The celebration was held in the assembly room of the school, which was also the scene of the basketball banquet, and was unusually well at tended. All nationalities present went Irish for the day, and needless to say, the affair was successful. Missionary activities have been con suming some of the extra-curricula time. The students are conducting drives for the Georgia missions and the foreign missions. The pupils have shown an appreciation of the necessity of this work, and are forwarding mis sion crusades by their financial and spiritual interests. An unusual assembly was held at Sacred Heart recently. Mr. George Hossfield gave an enlightening demon stration of the correct use of the type writer. Mr. Hossfield, who is the world’s champion typist, writes at the astounding rate of 140 words per min ute, however, he stresses rhythm ratti er than speed to attain accuracy. Sa cred Heart had the honor of being the only Atlanta school which Mr. Hess- field visited. Sacred Heart made a splendid shew ing in the city-wide Civitan essay con test. Two of our seniors, with their essays on “Why Our Government Of fers More Opportunities than a Com munistic Government”, won awards. Dorothy Harbin received a part-time scholarship to Agnes Scott College, while Dorothy Cremin won a cash award of $15.00. Sacred Heart is not ed for its splendid record in this an nual contest, but this year was doubly rewarded.
