THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
Jackson Clips
Eatonton Twice
Friday Night
Jackson High’s court teams put
; together their best efforts of the
season Friday night in the Jackson
gym to give Eatonton a double de
feat. The Jackson girls handled the
visitors rather easily, 63-38, but the
Red Devil boys had difficulty with
a solid Putman Cos. team in winning
73-60.
Coach Powers had three forwards
who were hitting a surprising num
ber of their shots and the Eatonton
girls just couldn’t match their tor
rid pace. Peggy McElheney and San
dra Smith each scored 20 points, and
Faye Mitchell was right in behind
with 17.
From their guard positions, Gwen
Cawthon, Nancy Carter and Jean
Dodson gave the visitors little scor
ing opportunities in close and their
long shots were ineffective.

bowled over a good team in scoring
73 points, anew high point mark for
the year. The game raised the tourn
ament hopes of Jackson fans who
had watched the Red Devils falter in
their last few outings.
Donnie Caston bucketed 30 points
and was superb under the boards.
Charles Herring had 18 and Barry
Jones 15 points and the rebound
work of both was outstanding.

Settle Outlines
History, Aims Of
Kiwanis Club
In an interesting address at the
Jackson Kiwanis Club Tuesday night,
J. Blackman Settle traced the orga
nization’s history since its founding
in 1917 in Detroit to the present day.
A former president of the Jackson
Club, Settle is thoroughly familiar
I with the organization and aims of
Kiwanis International. He praised the
civic club as a democratic organiza
tion, one that works towards defi
nite objectives and listed as its suc
cess secret the functioning of the
various committees.
Youth service, citizenship and ad
ministration are the three broad top
ics with which most Kiwanis com
mittees deal, he pointed out.
The local Kiwanis Club was orga
nized in 1922 with W. A. Dozier as
the first president. Settle read the
list of former presidents in the or
ganization’s 35-year history. Dr. R.
P. Harrison is currently heading the
club as president.
D. P. Settle and Tom Collins were
wished happy returns on their birth
days during the week.
