Sunday afternoon, Novem-
ber 18, the gym was full of
excitement and people as par-
ents and friends painted, cut,
and taped signs to put in the
halls of AHS and downtown
Albany to boost the spirit for
the Lions in their bi-district
football game with the Holliday
Eagles this coming Friday. The
game will be played in Stam-
ford at 7:30 p.m.
Thursday, November 22 at
8:80 p.m. there will be a bonfire
behind the high achool with a
short pep rally. Then on Fri-
day at 2:00 there will be the
usual pep rally in the gym, so
come out and support the team!
If Thursdsy night and Friday
morning you hear some Strange
banging downtown, don't wor-
ry, because it is only Lion fans
beating a 65 gallon oil drum for
24 hours for victory.
Don't forget to wear red and
come to the pep rally.

luck and watch out. Contact

and fell over the camera.

Thanksgiving program Wed
aesday afternoon at 1:46.
Thursday will see the in-
flammation of a bonfire at 8:90.

football games on t.v. and still
make the bonfire.

LION'S
ROAR
Former Actor
Says'Thanks'
A Hebrew prater says 'I
shall tell man of thy marvelous
works and thy loving kindness
unto all thy creatures.' I think
the touching story of a seventy
seven year-old former actor
who took this prayer ifito his
heart is appropriate for this
sesson of giving thanks.
Eliezer Goldfarb pondered
the words of this prayer many
times. Then he decided to do
something about a long re-
strained urge; to say publicly
that he was happy to be alive
in this free United States. He
prepared a little essay and took
it to the NEW YORK TIMES to
be inserted as an advertise-
ment in the Sunday paper.
It was explained that in the
form he wanted the article, the
cost would be heavy nearly
$1 ,000 for just one insertion in
the huge classified ad section.
This seemingly small amount
represented a fourth of his
savings, but he insisted. He did
not want his name used, but
was told that this was not
permitted, so he rather reluc
tantly consented. His simple
twentyVeight line essay ap
peared under the heading:
Thanks'.
Gibran suggested it in an-
other way in his book, THE
PROPHET. 'You pray in your
distress and in your need;
would that you might pray also
in the fullness of your joy and in
your days of abundance.'
Moet of us give thanks in our
own way. It is the American
way. Each of us has a great deal
for which to be thankful, but
eapecially for his 'loving kind

The Albany Lions came up
with one of the most important
wins of the year as they defeat
ed the Jim Ned Indian's by a
score of 19 14. The Lions came
in at halftime with a 7-7 tie,
coming back in the second half
to push ahead to stay. The
Lions won, making the district
8 A a three-way tie with As
permont and Rotan. The sched
uled coin toss was scheduled for
Saturday morning, but because
of anxious coaches and players
from all three teams, the coin
was tossed Friday night at
approximately 12:20 with the
Lions winning with a heads call
on the coin. Rains of happiness
were over Albany Friday night
after the ballgame and then
again after the coin toss. The
coin toss was held in Anson at
the Phillips 66 Cafe.
The win Of the toss gave
Albany the right to represent
District 8 A against the pre
viously unbeaten Holliday
Eagles. The game will be held
in Stamford, Texas, Friday No-
vember 23. at 7:30 p.m. Back
the Lions and come to the
game.
The Junior Varsity ended
their season as they defeated
Stamford by a score of 18 12.
The year ended up as a year of
learning and of promise for the
coming years.

Farm Report

After two long six weeks of
books and working on Leader
ship contests, Ag Four boys
finally made it into the shop.
Projects vary from a fooseball
table to pig feeders and feed
troughs.
Leadership Contest in ste
phenville turned out to be rath-
er disappointing to those con-
cerned. The Radio and Quiz
Team recieved fourth place
honors and Chapter Conducting
received a seventh. Everyone
was very proud to repreeent
Albany in area competition.
Unfortunately, the under
class Ag boys still have some
time to spend in the classroom
before venturing into the shop.
A program of work has been
drswn up. This is to benefit
chapter standing in the state
and works toward s chapter
rating.

time, all the bands in the
Albany school system were

era an Cathy Dillingham
(bead), Nancy Durham, and

The Roving Eye
The corrupted cornea had
quite a week. It seems that the
closer the holidays get, the
farther out the student body
gets.
The Sedwick International
Fly Catch was one of the
weekly wackies. Certain Senior
boys solved the fly population
explosion by various methods.
Gerard Harrison placed first in
the advanced division while
Ernie Bernstein grabbed the
novice class. Trophy for the
event was a paper cube filled
with live specimens. The sward
was lovingly designed by Glen
Bartee.
Tragedy struck the drama
department again last week.
Another cast shuffle was neces-
sarv when Chuck Albaugh
moved to Midland. As of today
Rocky Alexander will be Colo-
nel Beauregard and Keith Car
lile is J. Tamarack Gargle.
Will good triumph over evil?
Will True, Blue and Trusted
ever be performed? Will Miss
Osburn hsve s nervous break
dpwn? Only the shadow knows.
Have you wondered why the
family album is in shambles?
Junior and Senior English clas
ses wrote sutobiographies last
week, and the accompanying
illustrations were class high
lights. Some of the more not
able pictures were presented
by Vickie and Sandy Lowe,
Becky Holson, Carol Webb, and
Jeanine Matthews.
In the athletic area, Albany
High has two ambitious arch
ers. Pot Shot Pringle and Sure
Miss Sievers battled down to
the wire. There is some dispute
over the winner of the bout, but
Sure Miss wss heard to ex
claim, 'I'll get you yet, Red
Baron!'
A wave of hysteris hit Big A
early Saturday morning. A1
bany hasn't had so much ex
citement since the rumor that
the Liquor Control Board was
coming here. Gladys Macon did
her Paul Revere act up and
down Main Street. Cant ssy
that we blame her. Git em
