CHS Bids Farewell to
1963-64 Basketball Stars
Basketball for the 1963-64 sea
son has officially come to an
end. Although this has not been
one of the most successful years,
more important is that Chat
tooga has fought clean and hard
with outstanding sportsmanship.
Five senior athletes deserve rec
ognition for their efforts during
these past games.
The girls team will lose only
two players next year.
Marilyn Bryant has been on
the varsity squad for three years.
During her freshman year, she
played ball at Lyerly. Marilyn is
co-captain of the team and top
scorer for CHS. Eighth in the re
gion, she has made a total of
278 points during the season.
Marilyn has membership in the
“C”, Beta and Glee Clubs and was
voted most athletic in the Senior
Who’s Who. She was a varsity
football cheerleader and a home
coming queen candidate.
A starter at guard. Judy Yar
brough will be greatly missed
next year. Although this is Judy's
first and last year, she, accord
ing to Coach Judson Frost, “play
ed her best bailgame Friday
night" against Armuchee. Pre
viously. Judy played basketball
at Lyerly. Also a candidate for
1963-64 homecoming queen. Judy
is a member of the Senior Li-
Beatlemania! GUESS WHO
Three weeks ago, Americans
experienced the arrival of four
British singers BUI w«ks l«lore
they set foot on our soil, their
popularity had spread practically
around the globe.
John Lennon 23, Paul Mc-
Cartney 21. George Harrison 20.
and Ringo Starr 23 make up this
entrancing group They all hail
from the 'Mersey’ side of Liver
pool. England.
This outward emotion (mainly

also shrieking girls I is no diffe
rent than a few years back when
our parents, uncles and aunts
did tile same thing when Frank
Sinatra. Bing Crosby, and Rudy
Valle first, became popular The
Beatlemania is no sillier than
their swooning over Rudy
CHS lias also felt the blow,
but there are many different
opinions about them One teach
er thinks they rate a little higher
than Elvis Presh y. but their hair
is horrible Another well-known
teacher says they would have
been better stepped on before
they left England The students
also have varied opinions Some
think they are bitter than any
American group: others say
they’re tops but America can
match them Many adults say
they the stupid and idiotic, but
I can't say that anyone who
earns $5,000 a week. $7,500 a
piece for every song they sung on
the Ed Sullivan Show, or $17,000.-

EVEN YOU CAN
ACHIEVE GREATNESS
By BRENDA MUNDY
When one reads the story of
George Washington, it is diffi
cult to realize that this American
hero was once a boy whose life
was spent as normally as that of
any other boy of his time. Al
most all great leaders have had
: early lives that can be compared
favorably with those of other
■ young people of their period.
Life is not always gentle; but
I it seems that, regardless of con
ditions, leaders show an intelli
gent understanding of what is
needed during their particular
' age. Sometimes an urgent situ
ation or some disaster has oc
; cured to give an individual the
I opportunity to demonstrate his
abilities, but usually leaders will
come to the attention of the pub
lic whether or not emergencies
arise.
Greatness is never cheapened
by questionable acts; it responds
only to those who want it. Not
। many legendary stories stress
greatness, which is associated
with physical bravery. Moral
courage is just as important an
element of greatness. When an
individual, without any thought
! or regard for reward, has sharp
ened his determination with the
will to do a thing because it
should be done, then he has
opened an important door to
ward greatness.

I llis Is My Country
This week for our editorial we
have selected excerpts from es
says written from a junior Eng
lish class of our school. Being
especially well written in both
thought and grammar, they
have been selected as outstand
ing:
’What is America to me? A
name? Yes. it’s a name. Say it
—America! A melodious sound
of freedom ringing from its every
syllable. A place? Os course. A
very valuable place, too. A little

lived and died. The people that
I see? Each different: all won

. . .This little word has such a
big meaning in the life of each
American today. It symbolizes
not only the strength we must
retain, but our hopes which rest
on them meaning of this all
important word.’’ (Taken from
the essay of Carol Johnson)
-Democracy has made this
country the leading nation of
the world. Freedom of speech
and press allow anything to be
said so long as there are no
false statements made. Freedom
of religion allows us to choose if
we want to worship and under
what religion. Freedom of as
sembly allows us to meet to

The freedom to vote for whom
ever we choose guarantees gov
ernment by the people. We have
the assurance of never living in
la dictatorship.” (Taken from the
essay by Petty King)

CHS Prepares
For Lit. Meets
The past few weeks have seen
the student body of CHS in a
“stew” over the district meet
competition. Various elimina
tions have been held for the
selections of the best possible
students to represent our school.
The following articles are con
cerning the different meets.
ESSAY TRY-OUTS
The General Assembly of Geor
gia was the topic of this years
elimination contest for CHS es
say writers. Monday, during sec
ond period, students of the tenth,
eleventh, and twelfth grades
gathered for an hour to express
their views and understandings
of the activities of the Georgia
Legislator.
For weeks, these students have
been reading with special inte
rest the events of the Assembly
so as to be well informed on the
subject for the try-outs.
Two persons will be chosen to
represent the school the first of
April at Reinhardt College. At
this time, an unknown subject
will be given to them and they
will be expected to write on that
particular subject. As yet, the
winners of the competition have
not been announced. ‘
was Mrs. Joe Ratley.
The purpose of the clinic was
to acquaint delegates with what
may be expected at the Youth
Assembly to be held in Atlanta
in March. Another aim was to
give press representatives ideas
for Assembly coverage.
At the clinic, bill books were
issued and instructions were
given on bill presentation, par
liamentary procedures, and
committee functioning. Also all
delegates who are to attend the
1964 Youth session registered.

Hames Wins
Declamation
This year, the boys’ declama
tion tryouts have been a nip
and-tuck battle among five CHS
boys. A first tryout was staged
a few weeks ago but no final de
cision could be made—there was
a five-way tie. The boys, Eugene
Dalrymple, Ronald Taylor, Dale
Westbrooks, James Hames and
Skipper Stewart, were required
to prepare an entirely new
speech and present it within a
week.
Last Wednesday, the group of
boys met in competition to break
the five-way tie. Eugene Dalrym
ple gave an excerpt from Presi
dent Kennedy's inaugural ad
dress. Ronald Taylor presented
a portion from Henry Grady’s
“The New South”. Dale West
brooks spoke the words of Pat- I
rick Henry in his “Give Me Lib
erty of Give Me Death" speech. I
James Hames used a dramatic |
approach in presenting Lincoln’s
soliliquy from the play "John I
Brown's Body” by Stephen Vin- ,
cent Benet. Skipper Stewart was
the last competitor with an ex
cerpt from the article, “Nazi Aim
‘ls Slavery”.
The final decision was: James
Hames, boys' declamationist and
Dale Westbrooks, alternate. All
five of the boys did excellent
jobs with their speeches and
should be congratulated.

Clubs Assist
In Heart Fund
Two Chattooga High clubs |
assisted in the county-wide
Heart Fund drive held last Sun
day. Members of the Tri-Hi-Y
and Junior FHA clubs are to be
commended for donating their,
time and efforts soliciting money
for the Georgia Heart Associa
tion at this time.
Heart diseases, it has been
stated, are the number 1 killer
in the nation. Proceeds from
these annual drives help to fight
against heart attack, strokes,
high blood pressure, rheumatic
fever, and inborn heart defects.
Progress in the last ten years
has been tremendous. Many
life-saving advances have been
found, including drugs to bring
blood pressure under effective
control and the development of
"artificial hearts” that take
over the functions of the heart
and lungs while the surgeon
works inside the heart itself.
Tri-Hi-Y members and Future
Homemakers had a large part
in obtaining the huge sum re
ceived throughout the county.
They did this by going from
house to house, asking for dona
tions, in the areas around their
respective homes. The volunteer
workers also distributed heart
literature as they canvassed.
Approximately 35 girls aided in
the campaign. Chairman of the
drive was county agricultural
extension agent, M. H. Purcell.
MUSICAL ENTRIES
Last Thursday brought musi
cal literary try-outs to Chat
tooga High School. Held third
period in the auditorium, some
15 students vied for representa
tive positions at the annual
Seventh District AA Literary
Meet to be held at Reinhardt
College the first of April.
Competing for piano solo title
were Danny Hammonds. Betsy
King, Steve Parker and Mary
Alice Doster. Representing CHS
in this division will be Danny
Hammonds with Betsy King as
alternate. This is the second
consecutive year that Danny
has gone to the district meet
with this talent. He has pre
viously earned a first there and
was selected as second in the
state.
Contestants in the boys’ solo
event were Phil Baker, Lowell
White, David Waters and Dale
Westbrooks. Winners in this
event were first, Dale West
brooks and alternate, David
Waters. Dale, a senior, is active
in the Glee Club and has a high
scholastic standing in his aca
demic subjects.
Cynthia Palmer has been
chosen to represent Chattooga
in the girls’ solo competitions.
Selected as alternate was
Marilyn Bryant. Others com
peting in this elimination were
Teresa Teal, Pam Hubler, Betty
Busbin and Janet Gibson. Cyn
thia is only a freshman, active
in the Senior Library and Glee
Clubs.
Serving as judges were the
Rev. and Mrs. Robert Franklin
and the Rev. Len Chavis. Points
considered in judging were poise,
general presentation, general
possibilities, and clarity of voice.
Concerning the voice contest
ants, the judges were quoted as
saying, “We are very impressed

LEMON’S
LOWDOWN
By RONALD TAYLOR
A LAST LOOK
Taking our last look at bas
ketball for this year, we can say
only that Coach Paul Quinn can
keep his tennis shoes and Coach
Judson Frost won’t be buying
any tennis shoe factories.
SPRING PRACTICE
Now let us focus our atten
tion on a brighter subject (for
the nonparticipant at least),
spring practice. Yes. once again
the mighty CHS gridmen will
meet every afternoon for a
month of recreation including
such vitalizing activities as “sui
cide row,” “Oklahoma drill,”
“hamburger,” and the old faith
ful “bull-in-the-ring.” After
these sometimes tiring exercises,
the football hero can relax
during one of Coach Quinn’s
short (????) scrimmage sessions.
After all this resting, our CHS
gridman is ready for a little
more exercising. This extreme
desire for activity is satisfied by
a few (ha! ha!) wind sprints.
Twenty 20-yard sprints aren’t so
bad; but by Coach Quinn’s
method of counting, these
sprints develop into thirty to
forty 20-yard sprints, five or six
50-yard sprints, and three or
four 100-yarders.
Now that our football hero has
got his blood circulating he can
drive over to the local billiard
parlor (pool hall) for a few
games of billiards (pool), or go
down to the rec to shoot a little
basketball, or go home and trot
a few times around the block,
or, best of all, go home and
sleep for about a week.
The fact that Coach Quinn
said that there will be contact
the first day is no reason for
the players to think it’s going
to be a hard spring practice (ha!
ha! ho! ho! hee! hee! ha! ha!)
Would you boys like me to tell
another joke?
A CEREMONIAL OCCASION
Despite all the hardships sur
rounding spring practice, it is
a very ceremonial occasion. It is
only at this time that the stu
dents of ancient culture can
observe the Chattooga Indians’
official rain dance, which has
been practiced by generations of
I-play-but-I-wish-I-didn’t foot
ball players. And at the time
I’m writing this article, it seems
the dance is working quite well.
It’s going to be rough going
(very rough), but I am confi
dent that there will be enough
survivors to offer some material
for my report on the teams’
progress next week.
CLAY OR LISTON?
I would now like to make a
few predictions on the Clay-
Liston fight, but I’m not. No
one could possibly beat the “big
bear.” On the other hand, no
one could be more sure that he
could than the “Louisville Lip.”
By the time this article comes
out, we’ll know whether or not
the “mouth is mightier than the
stone wall.”
with the talent displayed and
the possibilities for real vocal
achievements.”
Aside from these events, CHS
students will be entering such
district contests as declamation,
girls’ trio, typing, boys’ quartet
and essay.
