BOYS’ BASKETBALL TEAM
WELCOMES NEW COACH
The sport spotlight this week falls
on the acquisition of anew coach for
boys’ basketball—Coach Bowen, who
is also mentor of the Carrollton Hi’s
quintet. Mr. Bowen, coach last year
of McDonough High, graduated from
Oglethorpe where as he put it he,
"played a little basketball and a .little
baseball etc.” The first formal prac
tice of the season was held at the
school gym on Tuesday, January 9th.
A regular set-up has been announced
for the practices and basketball is
now in full swing.
The outlook for this year’s team
is perhaps uncertain but hopeful.
Only one player from last year’s team
is back and his position in reference
to the service is at this time very un-

certain. The player, Marvin Acree,
will, by the time of this publication,
have passed his fateful 18th birthday
and so in words of the poet, "His
days are numbered.” Acree was a
standout at the center position last
season and his return would brighten
the teams chances greatly.
The rest of the prospects are boys
who at the most have only two or
three years experience in high school
ball. However, some of these boys
appear to have "a great deal on the
ball” so to speak and so the situation
could be much worse in view of the
circumstances.
MURPHEY BANKS TERMED
GOOD PROSPECT
Among the brightest of the new
prospects is 5’ 10” guard, Murphey
Banks from Thomaston, Georgia.
Banks has shown up exceptionally
well in practice so far this season.
Making shots from practically any
where on the court that others deem
impossible. Banks said for publication
in his usual over-modesty, "It will
be a darn good team if I ain’t on it.”
However, the whole team is counting
on much point-making from Mr.
Banks. In the first official practice,
Banks sank 3 out of 50 crip shots to
lead the afternoon’s scoring.
Perhaps Banks’ only competition
will be furnished by pint-sized "Dyna
mite” Cadenhead who recently sus
tained injury when he collided with
Bussey on the court. Cadenhead has
proved a regular octopus on the court,
playing one of the finest floor games
in the business.
Despite these facts, the team is
looking forward to the season with
expectancy. If plans now in the for
mation materialize, the team will en
gage in four road games and four
home contests.

STUDENTS ENJOY
THEATRE PARTY
Associates of the dining hall, under
the leadership of Miss Katherine Har
rington, enjoyed a theatre party in
Carrollton Friday evening, viewing
the picture "The Princess and the
Pirate.” After buying the candy, pop
corn, and all the little things that can
make a real theatre party, the group
found seating arrangements truly un
desirable. Each had to find a seat
here, there or yonder.
Their gay mood was so complete
that even when they found it raining
on coming out, it did not dampen
their spirits.
After some refreshments taken at
the cafe, the group of twelve: Miss
Harrington, ten "associates” and one
taxi drived returned in one taxi to
the college. Avery good time was
had by all.
ROMANCE LANGUAGE
CLUBS HOLD MEETINGS
The Spanish Club has had only two
meetings so far this year, but those
present at the meetings have proclaim
ed them quite interesting. At the first
"get together” of the "Espanal” stu
dents, a native Spaniard gave a dis
cussion on Spanish customs and edu
cation. Everyone was amazed to see
how much difference there is between
the Spanish and the American
schools.
At the second meetiiy; some
"catchy” Spanish songs were played
and the members tried their luck at
singing them.
FRENCH CLUB SEES MOVIE
During the last meeting of the
French Club, a movie on the customs
and the life of the French people
was shown. This followed a short
business emeting.
