Eighth grade Elks from
Pauline G. Hughes Middle
School started out the new
year the right way by
keeping their unbeaten str-
ing in tact with victories
over Mansfield and Everman

marathon schedule of five
games in five days and
suffered their first two set-
backs of the season.
Eighth grade “A” team is
now 12-0 for the season and
the seventh grade “A” team
is 10-2.
The eighth grade won
their two games by similar
scores, defeating Mansfield
43-37 and Everman 45-37.
Glen Robinson hit 20 points
in the Mansfield game and
Craig Patty had 10. Jim
Boots and Mark Taylor were
defensive standouts.
Against Everman, Patty
had 17 points;Ken Nicholson,
11, and Steve Reeves, 10.
Last Laugh
A country doctor parked
his jalopy on the street to
run an errand. When he
returned, a group of small
boys were crowded around
the vehicle, laughin at it.
The doctor climbed in,
saying mildly, “The car’s
paid for, boys.” Then,
looking from one lad to
another, he added, “You’re
not, and you’re not, and
you’re not....”
