Always A Color Cartoon BY THE WAY (Continued from page 1) SAD WEEKEND It was a sad weekend for the local football teams and their coaches and fans. Newberry High took its third whipping of the year and the college In dians were blasted 55-14 by the Mountaineers of Appalachian. I have great hopes for the high school team. I have seen the two home games and most of the time they are playing heads-up football. The team has a couple of good passers and passreceivers—and as time goes by, with a little more ex perience, I believe they are going to end up with a pretty good season despite their early defeats. I didn’t see the Indians game but I notice Coach Herren isn’t TOO downcast. Appalachian al ways has been about the rough est team Newberry has played, so perhaps we can look for better days. And of course I can’t let the opportunity pass to put in a plug for the Newberry High School Band, directed by Lor raine Paris. They have manag ed two excellent half-time per formances at the two home games, and this is due solely to the fact that the band mem bers and their director are wil ling to put in many extra after school hours of practice. At a meeting Monday night, Miss Paris told the band par ents “You ought to be proud that your young people are members of the band.” She was referring to the willingness of the group to get up at 5:00 in the morning for early band practice, to spend after - school hours working on routines, memorizing contest music, even paying by “work squads” for some infraction of rules; that they are willing to take the discipline imposed if they ex pect to be members of the band. I believe I can speak for all the band parents when I say that we ARE proud of our boys and girls—and we are proudest after they have been on a trip somewhere and are enthusiastically invited back again, because they are such a well-behaved group. Much of the credit goes to the young people themselves for their self-discipline but the real credit goes to Miss Paris for teaching them this import ant attributte. It will serve them well in days to come. Mrs. Kinard, 51, rites Friday Mrs. Elizabeth Pinner Mc- Carley Kinard, 51, of Pomaria died Wednesday evening at the S. C.
