champions of many years’
standing and, under the very
capable coaching of Walter Ball,
achieved glory for the Alma
Matert Needless to say, Miss
Olive Matthews, principal, and
the whole faculty, not to men
tion the parents and children
themselves, were all smiles
when the officials announced the
final tally of 46 points for
Morrow’s totaL Congratu

Senior Civitans
Hosts to Juniors
On Friday, May 27, the
Forest Park Senior Civitans
sponsored a wiener roast for
the Forest Park Junior Civi
tan Club. The event took
place at Stone Mountain and
began shortly after 7:30.
There was more food that
this group of appetites could
handle and after enjoying
the fellowship of the after
noon, they retired to the
Forest Park Lanes to work
out any cases of indigestion
by bowling. The senior rep
resentatives were Mr. and
Mrs. Martin Holman and the
Junior Sponsor, Mrs. Gall
Cone.
The outing was enjoyed by
all in attendance and rumor
has it that the Juniors had
challenged the Seniors to a
round of softball before din
ner. With no team repre
senting the Seniors, we had
to concede the match.

Brave Fans
to Hit 1-2
Million
The question has been asked
often enough, "Is Atlanta ma,,
jor league?” The fans of the
Southeast have supplied the ans-
W er.
With only one-third of their
first National League season
elapsed, Southeastern fans have
streamed Into Atlanta Stadium
to support the Braves through
good times and bad.
In fact, the biggest question
mark was whether the Braves
could expect reasonable sup
port should they fail to stay
near first division. The answer
came when, despite a stretch
of seven victories and 20
losses, the Braves played to a
total of 185,381 during their
last homestand of eight games.
That averages 23,172 and is
even above the Braves’ season
average of 19,615. The figures
Include the afternoon portion
(11,027) of two single games
played last Saturday against the
Cardinals. It was 30,996 that
day.
In 25 home dates at Atlanta
Stadium, the Braves have drawn
490,375 fans, meaning they pass
the half-million mark, undoubt
ably, in their next home game
June 15 against the Mets. The
Braves are only 65,214 away
from the entire season’s atten
dance In 1965 In Milwaukee.
