JONES Phone JA 4-5273 Post Office Box 506 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. Mac Trulock, reporter
