As to the arguments that oth
er expenses were coming up:
if this is true, why did council
not consider them when the bud
get was adopted? If they were
acting in good faith, then they
were NOT anticipating any ex
tra funds for the extra things
they are now talking about.
The Mayor stated that the tax
levy could not now be changed.
Perhaps not but I don’t under
stand why it couldn’t. Seems
that the ordinance adopting the
budget and levy could simply
be amended to eliminate the
extra eight mills put on because
the city thought it was going to
lose some money. It may be
that by this time, the tax not
ices are already in preparation
and that would cause some
complications; however, they
were NOT in preparation at the
time this matter was brought
to the attention of the city.
Gentlemen of Council, let’s
give the public the whole truth.
SPORTSMANSHIP
After the Newberry-Woodruff
football game, played at Wood
ruff Friday night, I was asked,
“Are you going to write some
thing about our team?”
About the team, yes, and the
Band, but mostly about the poor
sportsmanship of the Woodruff
Wolverine supporters.
As soon as Newberry had a
score on the board, and Wood
ruff had nothing, the heckling
began. Anyone known to be
from Newberry, especially the
cheerleaders and the members
of our band who were easily
identifiable in all-white outfits,
was made the target of most

unpleasant heckling. So far as
1 know, the crowd attending
from Newberry—and it was a
crowd—kept “it’s cool” and so
avoided any fights which some
of the Wolverine fans were itch
ing for.
Our band members, who are
usually given the third quarter
off to get something to eat af
ter playing during the first half
at at half time, showed good
judgment and quickly returned
to the stands when hostile Wood
ruff fans tried to pick a fight.
And when our buses left to
return to Newberry, there were
still some of the angry ones
around to throw rocks at the
buses.
When the game was over, the
mother of one of the Woodruff
band members told me apolo
getically, “They aren’t accust
omed to losing, and I’m afraid
they aren’t very nice about it.”
I hope that the students of
our high school and the adult
supporters of the team will nev
er act in this manner. When
losing a game makes one lose
his common decency, then it’s
time to quit playing football.
Now for the game: Coach
Kimmel and his assistants are
doing a wonderful job in build
ing up the Bulldog footballers.
Tnere were some mistakes, as
there always are, but they
were few and the good plays by
far outweighed the. bad. I do
not know all of the team mem
bers and I would not pick out
any one for especial mention,
because when a team plays as
well defensively and offensively
as the Newberry team did Fri
day night, every member had
to be doing his part. The com
bination of a win over Lexing
ton the previous week, and a
humiliating memory of past
Woodruff scores when our Bull
dogs have been beaten by 30,
40 or 50 points, apparently in
spired the team to do it’s best,
and the result was a hard-won
14-0 victory.
Our band, under the compe
tent direction of Miss Lorraine
Paris, looked and sounded fine.
The band and the apparently
tireless cheerleaders, along with
the fans, gave continuous sup
port to the Bulldogs on the
field. In case there are those
who are wondering why the
band members were not in uni
form, it is because new uni
forms have been ordered, and
are expected to arrive almost
any day, but they aren’t here
yet. I thought they looked good
in their white shirts and slacks
with black ties and shoes.
Speaking of the uniforms, the
band could use a little help in
paying for them, so if you are
in a generous mood, sit down
and write a check to the New
berry High School Band and
send it to Miss Paris. This or
ganization, which represents our
city so well on so many occas
ions, deserves your support.

Sunday fire
investigated
The origin of a fire which
caused about $1,000 damage to
a vacant school building here
late Sunday night was under in
vestigation this week.
Fire Chief Ed Hazel said the
blaze was of a “suspicious nat
ure” and the cause of the fire
is under investigation. The fire
department extinguished the
blaze in about 30 minutes after
answering the alarm at the for
mer Drayton Street school build
ing. The fire was confined to
two classrooms.
