fumbled on the next play to
give Chattooga another
chance. But on the very first
play for the Indians, the ball
was fumbled once more to give
Fort Payne excellent position.
The Wildcats got to the
10-yard line on a draw play to
set” up their first of many
touchdowns.
The Indians took the
kickoff to the 36-yard line but
had to punt four plays later.
Chattooga's defense finally
held Fort Payne from achiev
ing nine yard}; in three plays.
The Wildcats were looking at
the fourth and three. They suc

them a first at the 20-yard Elne.
Two plays later, the pass was
made for a second touchdown.
The determined Indians
drove all the way to Fort
Payne's 36-yard line before
they coughed the ball over
again via another fumble. Fort

own 36 and promptly went the
length of the fielcr Ve;ith about
six minutes left before the half,
the Indians were losing 21-0.

Life In The
Slow Lane
by Lane Hosmer
As everyone around the
school knows by now, we have
a new intercom and bell
system. Actually, we don't
have bells anymore. We have
chimes. Yes, and it's enough to
drive even the Avon lady
crazy.
Personally, I couldn’t see
anything wrong with the old
befl system and intercom,
myself. I liked the idea of not
being able to hear Mr. Allred
when he made announcements.
Who wants to know when you
have to go to the office and
bow and grovel simply because
you've been a few minutes late
%etting to class two or three or
5 times? At least then we had
some excuse for not going to
the office. Now we can’t claim
that we didn't hear the an
nouncement. Unless, of course,
Kou’re in one of several
omerooms famous for makin,
so much noise they coulg
drown out the Mormon Taber
nacle Choir.
The new intercom is so sen
sitive that if Mr. Allred ever
has another one of those chok
ing attacks like he had a cou-
Ele of weeks ago, he’ll blow out
alf the eardrums in the school.
As it is, he comes through
much clearer, although ie
sounds as if he's in the bottom
of a well. Interesting thought,
isn't it?
As for the new chimes
which replaced our bells, I
can't say that I like them too
much, and from other opinions
I've heard exi;ressed, I'd say
that most of the student body
doesn’t care too much for
them. This must make the
faculty really pleased, gaining
some small foothold in their
New Intercom, Bell System Installed
A new intercommunication
system has recently been in
stalled in the main office of
Chattooga High School.
The intercom was purchas
ed from the Sound Engineering
Company in Chattanooga,
Tenn., and should cost between
$2,500 and $2,800. The system
was installed Sept. 30, but all
of the work has not been
com’[pleted.
he new intercom has
several features that the old
one did not. For example, the
traditional bell system has
been replaced by a tone
enerator within the intercom.
%he system also has a remote,
aradio, and a tape deck so that
announcements can be record
ed for broadcast later.
Mr. Herring commented,
“The new intercom should be
a vast improvement. The

never-ending quest of making
our lives just a little more
miserable.
For the first week, every
time those chimes sounde(i
scores of people, students and
teachers alike, would say
something like, *'K-Mart shop-
Fers, we have another blue
ight special in our hardware
department.”
When 1 first heard the
chimes, I thought I was on the
Gong Show and I'd just been
gang-gonged. I've heard that
some other Eeo{ple had strange
reactions the first time they
heard them.
Someone said that Miss
Allred was reminded of her
childhood by those gongs. It
seems her brother had a tricy
cle with a bell that sounded
much the same. Mrs. Selman
thought that everyone had
reached the end of the line at
the same time in typing class,
and Mr. Dowdy thought his lit
tle beeper h@! gone off.
In the home economics
department, everyone checked
the microwave, thinking sup
per was ready. It was reported
that Mr. Stokes yelled, *‘Close
the hatches, we're diving!” Mr.
Perry thought his computer
had finally %lown a chip, and
three lady teachers left their
rooms to answer the doorbells.
I'm told that the new inter
com is really fancy. It has a
built-in radio and tape deck to
make pre-recor(fed an
nouncements. I offered to help
them test it out, but they said
that somehow playing Twisted
Sister during E period might
not be conducive to good study
habits.
sound quality is better,
although there still are some
adjustments to be made.”
