summer developing pictures of
the back ends of cows for the
June Dairy Edition.

motion pictures for the Tiger
football team during those
days, all of the football games
that we attended while I was in

Probably the most mor-

moment of my adolescense was
the night Mount Vernon played
at Winnsboro, and the facilities
for shooting movies were
situated about 50 feet up a
telephone pole in a crow’s nest.
The telephone pole was right in
front of the Mount Vernon
band. Mrs. Optics approached
the pole, looked up and shook
her head, then took a deep
breath and started climbing.
