parade out on the field, led by a color
guard with Old Glory flapping the
breeae.

It really gave the several thousand
spectators gathered in the local fooU
ball lot a thrill as the youthful musi
cians proceeded to play the National
Anthem. ”

Do any of you fans remember way
back when Camden had a gayly be
decked high school band Like the
baseball park and a few other things
around this bailwlck, the band has
disappeared. Uniforms and instru
ments stolen and what not. Just plain
cussed carelessneM all the way round.

Bulldogs sure' hit the comeback trail
and walloped the surprised Hartsville
gridders 28 to 0 while several thou

500 percentage for the season. Wins
from Bkmlet and Hartsville and los
