In Tournament
TllC Mansfield hoys won they
first game of the state tournament
m Athens, March 5, by upsetting
the se<ded Tignall team 33-27. In
doing so the M. H. S. Bulldogs
beat thp team that beat Social
Circle in the tenth District; Social
Circle had eliminated Loganville
and it was Loganville who took
Mansfield’s measure in the Yellow
River League Tournament. All of
which goes to show, Folks, that
Basketball is no respecter of re
cords.
Mansfield led 21-12 at the half
and relinquished their lead only
once-when Tignall took a one
point lead in the fourth quarter.
Charles , Elliott r ,„ made 15 of Mans
field’s points. Robert Curtis, first
team guard, was out with a bad
leg. Bert Harper took over the
job and tallied eight points.
In their second game Thursday
Mansfield encountered a strong
team from Dixie, of ipiayets^were the
District. The Dixie
small but used the fast-breaking
type of ball and as it was their
first game of the tournament they
almost Outrushed Mansfield.
Dixie led 15-5 at the half The
Bulldogs tied up the score 21-12
just as the whistle blew. In the
three-minute plav-off neither team
scored for two minutes and fifty
nine seconds. Robert Curtis’s shot
from the corner of the court was
in the air when the gun was fired,
thus climaxing as gallant an uphill
fight as was ever staged by a M
H. S. basketball team
Friday afternoon at five o’clock
a weary but scrappy and stubborn
Mansfield five squared off with
Dacula High in the semi-finals in
Woodruff Hall.
Dacula caught Mansfield nap
ping on defense and got a ten
point lead which the Bulldogs
could not whittle down before
time was up. The game going to
Dacula 35-42,
Mansfield is proud of the show- | j
ing made by the M. H. S. boys at
Athens. Charles Elliott, forward, I
was placed on the All-State team j
for his played. performances in the three j
games

F.F.A. Camp Life
Not All Routine
Says Reporter
What do you do at the F.F.A
Camp every day? This question
has been asked many times. A
day there is one of action, service,
and progresss: building future
leaders of our nation. !
Spend with me, in imagination, I
a day at our camp. Promptly at
6 o’clock the rising bell rings
Eight boys have already been up
an hour before that as kitchen boys
and cooks, getting breakfast ready
for one hundred and fifty young
Americans. Mr. McAllister a.
head cook directs their efforts and
activities about the kitchen. Miss
Foy., our dietitian, does all the
buying and menu making so that
our boys will be fed carefully and
correctly to build strong bodies.
Breakfast is served as seven, cafe
teria style, the last one in being
hungirest of all.
Three clinic hours are held at
the hospital for anyone needing
especial attention immediately af
ter breakfast, lunch, and work
hours, and of course any emer
gency is taken care of there by
our nurse. Miss Frances Donohoo.
R. N., and her two assistants.
Work periods begin at eight
o'clock. Half of the boys go to
work on the project while the
other half goes to school. The next
day those that were in school the
day before work out on the pro
ject, alternating working and
school days.
Mail is an important factor at
the camp. It is distributed at each
boys place in the dining hall
where each may find his own mail
at his place at the table.
The five o’clock bell rings joy
fully to inform the camp that !
school and construction periods
end at that time.
Supper Is served at six and by j
the second servings the boys get |
on can easily tell they are more
than ready for it.
Our nights at camps are almost |
as busy as our days. An F, F. A. j
Chapter meeting is held every
Monday night. A class in Econo- j
mics Tuesday nighl. Picture shows
are given .practices are held, and
sometimes we have parties. The
girls from the Monroe and Madi
son N. Y. A. schools were our
guests at a dance Thursday night.
On Friday night our boys wei'e in
vited to a dance at Milledgeville.
Mrs. Maddox, Mrs. Peniek and
Mr. Lanthier went with the boys
to Milledgeville.
Extra hours are filled with read
ing or studying in the library,
writing letters home and to the
girls, playing pranks, ball, hik
ing .etc.
Light bell rings at 9:30 and be
lieve you me this good country
air and exercise makes the boys
not have to be rocked to sleep.
