Book Drive
The Quill and Scroll Society
of Newton County High School
is sponsoring a book drive for
the Newton County Hospital in
an effort to provide a larger and
more varied assortment of
reading material for the patients
there, The drive has been going
on at the high school and will
end today (Thursday) with
a solicitation of books from the
general public,
Just as hospital patients differ
in age level and interests, the
books requested should differ,
Children’s books, adult fiction,
biography, non-fiction and con
densed books areall welcomead=
ditions to the hospital library,
The drug stores in Covington
will be cooperating in the drive
today by allowing the Quill and
Scroll members to place a box
in each for donations. Please
clean out those shelves, attics
and basements and take your
extra books to your favorite drug
store, on the square, in
the shopping center or in the hos=
pital area,
The Quill and Scroll Society
is a group whose primary literary
interest is in writing; but in this
special project they would
appreciate books for any age level
because they feel that reading
is excellent therapy for that shut=
in patient in the hospital.

Livingston 4-H
Met On Nov. 4
The Livingston School Junior

meeting in the Livingston School

Julie Thomas gave a report on

“Going To The Stadium As
Seen By A Band Booster”
Six-thirty a, m, is very early
to get up on Sunday morning, but
todi:y (Nov, 16) is a big day—the
Blue Ramblers are going to the
Atlanta owadium, It is cold and
dark outside and the frost is heavy
on the grass, Youlook for gloves,
scarves, boots, blankets and just
about anything to keep warm with,
You get to the Band Building,
the Ramblers are there and they
are excited, For the 18 seniors
in the band this is old stuff to
them - they have performed tw=-
ice already at the stadium, For
the others this is their firsttime
and several of them remark they
are scared,
Rev, Kent Anglin is there to
give the devotional before depart=
ing, Kent always seems to know
just the right thing to say to a
group of young people, He tells
the Ramblers a story of a man
who is in great need of help, the
man prays for help and in his
mind a Little Prince comes to
him and helps him, Kent prays
for a good performanceand a safe
journey for the band, he then
prays that the Little Prince will
come to each Blue Rambler dur=-
ing their performance today.
You board the bus, just a little
crowded, you are on the way,
Someone says Iknow what’s going
to happen, somebody is going to
get out on the field and freeze
up. You say, no you are not,
you are all experienced perfor=-
mers now, even the little fresh
men have 10 halftime shows un
der their belts, They pass aro
und crackers, peanuts, and all
sorts of snacks, you didn’t have
any breakfast and you wonder how
they can eat this kind of stuff
so early in the morning, then
you remember youth!
Finally, youarrive - THE STA=
DIUM - you walk out on the field
and you kinda think how the Chr=
istians must have felt before
they were thrown to the lions -
this is a vast place. Today the
Falcons are going to be thrown
at the Bears, It is still very
chilly and ice is on the field,
You look down at your boots and
see they are covered in green
paint from the spray they use on
the grass, well anything to look
good on T, V, I suppose, The
Ramblers take the field and go
through their show three times,
They are all bundled up with
coats, but soon they warm upand
the music gets better with each
turn, The majorettes find it
tough to twirl and kick with coats
on, As they are finishing their
last practice the other band ar=-
rives, They are big, brassy and
you know just by looking at those
classy uniforms and shiny instru
ments they are good. The Ram=
blers look them over like one
football team looking at another,
They go through their show and
the Ramblers give them a great
hand, and you were right - they
are good, You talk with some of
their band parents and discuss
band programs = and then you
know why they are so big and so
great - MONEY!
It is just about lunch time now
so you sit down and try to bal
ance a box of chicken and a car=-
ton of milk on your lap, You are
not as hungary as you thought,
you are probably more nervous
than Basil or the band,
You go in and help the girls
get dressed = always a crisis,
broken zippers, suspenders, You
get a good laugh out of some of
the underthings these dainty lit=-
tle girls have on, Must have
borrowed them from Dad, The
Dads help the boys get ready,
they take about five minutes, the
girls take forty-five - always
happens that way,
They are ready now, some are
nervous, some are in complete
awe at the size of these pro ball
players, The majorettes do a
back flip over the Bears’ No. 15,
and two of them are brave enough
to ask for his autograph,
They line up in the end zone =
this is it - this is what they have
been working for since August,
This makes it all worthwhile,
As usual a crisis, Jim Peay
has two righthanded gloves,
Randy Kirkus has lost his whis=
tle - you find the whistle, but
Jim has to go on with his gloves,
The announcer says ‘‘Present
ing the Newton County High Sch
ool Blue Rambler Marching Band
from Covington, Georgia’’, They
march forward, calling cadence,
the drums roll, and 53,276 fans
see Newton County’s own Blue
Ramblers, You are proud, they
look great, the sun is beaming
down, the majorettes uniforms
sparkle in the sualight, they are
playing and marching their hearts
out, They go down field, they
roll out on the long oblique to
‘‘New World Symphony’” - loud
applause, They take a bow =
applause, then 18 seniors begin
THE COVINGTON NEWS
their last number on a football
field to ““Georgia On My Mind** -
it is great (even if youare a Tech
fan), Your throat is tight, and
you begin to look for a tissue.
They peel off to ‘“Dixie’” they
are rewarded with a great hand
from the fans, Youare reward=-
ed for four years of Band Boost=
ing, You know they have given a
great performance - they know it
also, What a tremendous way
to see your child end her high
school marching career, You
settle back to see the Falcons
play the best game of their car=
eers = it’s wonderful, We catch
a football - have to give it back,
You board the band bus for home
with a bunch of tired Ramblers,
You look back on the day’s events
and then you know the Little Pri=
nce came to all the Blue Ram=
blers and also to the Falcons.
Newton County was exception=
ally well-represented at the At
lanta Stadium Sunday afternoon,
November 16, by the N,C,H.S,
Blue Rambler Band as they pre=-
sented a six-minute pre-game
show to start off the Atlanta
Falcons = Chicago Bears game
with style,
The Blue Ramblers presenteda
precision drill show, using some
of the best marching routinesand
music from their past half-time
shows this football season, The
Ramblers made their entrance to
‘¢¢March Grandioso’’ and present
ed a mid-field routine to the soft
ly swinging ¢‘Beguine for Band’’,
From there they plunged into a
difficult precision drill known to
the band members as the ‘‘long
oblique,’” done to music from the
finale to the ‘“New World Sym=-
phony’’ by Dvorak, As a spe=-
cial number, the Blue Ramblers
paid tribute to the great state of
Georgia with an excellent ar
rangement of ‘Georgia On My
Mind”, Finally, the band came
off the field with ¢“Dixie,
The seventy - four = member
Blue Rambler Band is under the
field direction of Jerry Mclntosh
and Randy Kirkus, and is di
rected by Mr, Basil Rigney, This
is the second time the Blue Ram=-
blers have performed at the At=
lanta Stadium, having presented
a half-time show there in Decem=
ber, 1966,
