ARE BANKS
MYSTERIOUS
TO YOU?
You probably know your own business,
profession, or trade from A to Z, and if
you were to try to explain some features
of it to a banker he might seem to you
to be very "dumb."
1 Therefore, when the tables are turned
and you encounter some banking rule or
practice that you do not readily under-
stand, do not feel embarrassed. Ask
questions freely. We are always glad to
explain any point that may not be clear
to our friends.
In fact, we are greatly pleased when
anyone shows enough interest in bank-
ing matters to want to know more.
We played the Meridian out-
siders Friday afternoon. We won
but they played a swell game!
Iredell High lost their first
game, to Meridian High Monday
night 27-16. Joyce Nivin was
high point man.
We entered the Tournament at
Kopperl December 8 through the
11th.
The Basketball girls received a
wonderful surprise November 23
when we got our new sweat suits.
We are really proud of them.
Our coach this year is Lee Eri-
ckson who has coached the girls
team the last three years. We
are very glad to have such a
swell coach.
Everybody come to our games
and back our basketball teams
this year.
