Go Back
To School
Parents are going back to
school!
At 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday night,
October 6, parents of students at
Jonesboro High School are in
vited to come “back to school”
by following their child’s daily
schedule from room to room.
One weary freshman was over
heard offering her parent a real
“experience by loaning her
eighteen punds of school books
to carry for the evening.
In the fast-moving pace of
today’s world of education, this
is one of the best opportunities
for parents to meet the teachers
in their own teaching environ
ment and to see for themselves
what today’s high school student
is learning.
It is hoped that all parents in
terested in the education their
children receive today and in the
facilities used will take this
once-a-year opportunity offered
through the Jonesboro High
School PTA and “go back to
school” for one evening.

touchdown in the “game of the year” won by Photo by Hooper,
Forest Park Panthers
Down Jonesboro, 26-0
Attaining its real potential
again after a two-game letdown,
Forest Park’s Panthers struck
fast and hard last Friday night
to claw the Cardinals of Jones
boro into submission, 26-0, at
Kiwanis Field.
Led by the light but speedy
and rugged fullback, Julian
Aiken, the animal instinct was
aroused in the home town team
for the first time since they
played North Clayton to a 12-14
decision in the opener. The next
two weeks they were rather
docile in yielding to SW DeKalb
and Robert E. Lee by sizeable
scores.
out Friday night they stirred
anew hopes in the breasts of
their supporters as they not
only piled up 26 points in the
first half but held Joel Smith,
the chief Cardinal, in check
throughout the night, largely
through the heroic defensive
efforts of one Charlie Hodges.
Not only was Hodges a tower
of strength defensively but he
kept the Cards at arm’s length
with his booming kicks, which
are a trademark with him.
Forest Park found early that
it could move the ball far and
well along the ground so resorted

Swainsboro (Ga.) High School,

Free Press—News & Farmer, Tues., Sept. 29, 1964
only half-heartedly to aerials.
For example, the game was
barely under way when Jones
boro fumbled at its 22, the
Panthers ran one play then
Steve Donahoo broke off tackle
and sprinted for the initial
touchdown. Wayne Boling drilled
the ball through the uprights to
make it 7-0.
The same Boling, who played
a fine game of ball, shortly
thereafter interposed his long
arms between Joel Smith and a
would-be receiver at the Jones
boro 45.
The 165-pound fullback, Julian
Aiken, brought the crowd to its
feet again when he took the
handoff and whipped off tackle,
measuring 45 yards to gloryland.
Boling missed the kick and it
was 13-0.
After the kickoff, Hodges
knocked down a Smith pass and
then hurled the Cardinal quar
terback for a 15-yard loss which
placed the leather at the Jones
boro 20.
Jonesboro’s offensive failed in
three plays and they kicked.
Forest Park gained a first down
as Stroup sped for 7 and then
the determined Aiken darted 14
yards to a third touchdown.
Boling’s kick made it 20-0.
, Early in the second period
'Jonesboro got off a weak punt
and after a couple of gains Ron
nie Stroup was entrusted with
the oval and he peeled off 18
yards across the final stripes.
The Jonesboroans were kept in
their own territory practically
all the evening. Their one threat
came in the third quarter when
they put on a sustained drive of
70 yards which was halted as
Forest Park stiffened and held
at its own 12.
While Joel Smith didn’t chalk
up a point, he played a sparkling
game and on at least four occa
sions he might have gone on to
the finish line but for the omi
nous form of Charlie Hodges
looming up in front of him.
The statistics are quite re
vealing. Forest Park had a rare
night as it rang up 363 rushing
yards to Jonesboro’s 37.
The first downs were 11 to 9,
Forest Park. In the air the
Cardinals posted 85 yards
against the Panthers’ zero.
This result gave the two Clay
ton County rivals the same rec
ord for the year—one victory to
three losses each.
Forest Park plays in Decatur
Friday night while Jonesboro
faces Towers High in Jonesboro.
North Clayton, resting up last
week, invades Newnan for a
joust this Friday night.
