High School Loses
Court Opener
A badly stage-frightened bunch
of Palmer High School basket
bailers dropped their opening
game of the current season to
the Army’s 27th Statistical Con
trol Unit by a score of 26 to 19
last Friday evening.
The local five, buttery-finger
ed and basket shy, made only
four points in the first half of
the game, while Army was roll
ing up 16. They found their
court legs in the second half and
gave a good account of them
selves, although starting too far
back to stand a chance of even
ing the count.
“We made every mistake there
was in the book,” one player re
marked at the conclusion of the
play. However the second half
comeback proves that there’s not
a thing wrong with this year’s
Palmer team that a few more
practice sessions can’t smooth
out. And a concentrated dose of
practice is Coach James Gray’s
prescription for the next week or
two.
STUDENTS BANK $814
AS CARNIVAL PROCEEDS
When all bills were paid, and
Carnival nickels and dimes were
counted for the final time, mem
bers of Palmer High School’s
Student Council found them
selves $814.75 richer, according to
announcement from Lewis Gei
witz, president. The annual Car
nival is sponsored by the Student
Council, and the funds received
are allocated by the Council to
various school activities.
CARD QF THANKS
We are deeply grateful for
the helpfulness and expres
sions of sympathy from our
many friends and neighbors at
the time of our recent bereave
ment.
