Cynthia says..
by Cynthia Davis ..
Thursday night of last week
the school had a big Pep Rally.
The rally was held at the foot
ball stadium. The band' and
cheerleaders were there to
add a little pep to the rally
and everyone really showed
school spirit. Later on, Paul
Brimlow, Captain* of the team
said a few words on behalf of
the team. Paul let everyone
know that the boys were go
ing to give (in his words)
100% Friday night. The Alma
Mater, sung by all the stu
dents, and played by the band
dosed the rally, and everyone
went home with the assur
ance of going to a good ball
game Friday night.
The Homecoming parade
Friday afternoon was a big
success. The parade consisted
if several floats made by the
various clubs and classes, the
homecoming queen, Miss Don
, Isonville, horse back riders,
md the band (oh! I almost
est out the Police car).
Friday night was the home
coming football game for the
Seminoles. ‘During the half,
Kaye Cannington was crown
ed as the Homecoming Queen
by Senior class president,
Chris Gibbons. Kaye was es
corted by Sid Shingler. Brenda
Dozier, escorted by Gerald
Newberry, and Sue Reynolds,
escorted by Joe Hastey, were
the Queens Court.
After the game the high
school students and graduates
of SCHS attended the Home
coming dance held at the high
school lunchroom. The lunch
room was literally packed and
everyone seemed to have en
joyed the dance thoroughly.
The dance ended the HC fes
tivities for this year.
Mr. Robert Strickland and
Coach Snell just couldn’t re
sist taking the band and the
football team to see their
Alma Mater, Auburn, play
Chattanooga Saturday. The
band went to participate in
Auburn’s Band Day. Bands
from all over Georgia and Ala
bama were there. Before the
Tigers and Moccasins came on
the field, all of the bands play
ed the National Anthem to
gether. One can imagine the
thrill of hearing all of these
bands playing all at once. It
was certainly an experience
the band will never forget-
The football boys said that
they enjoyed the game and al
so seeing Auburn’s campus.
Most of the boys stopped by
Auburn’s novelty shop and
bought Auburn jerseys with
their own Seminole numbers
on them. All in all. it was a
busy, but wonderful week
end for the band and football
team. ’n
This weeks “CYNerism”
is: “A sense of humor is what
makes you laugh at something
that would make you furious
if it happened to YOU!”
JUNIOR *Y’ CLUB MEETS
The Jr. Hi-Y Club met re
cently. The meeting was call
ed to order by the president-
Danny King.
The secretary report and
treasurer report were given.
A report was given on the
Caravan to Bainbridge which
took place about two weeks
ago.
A float was entered in the
parade by the Jr. and Sr. Hi Y
Clubs.
After the program, the
chaplain, Billy Fain, rest the
scripture.
