A glass pane in one of the outer
Student Center doors has been
broken. Also, the glass door of
the publications room is no longer
in good condition. A pool ball left
the door with several ugly cracks.
Glass is expensive, especially
thick glass. Therefore, each stu-
dent should not only try to keep
the Student Center clean, but
should also try to maintain all the
equipment and facilities that we
now have.
PONIES WHIP ALLEN,
TIE FOR SECOND
The Panola Cagers showed one
of the largest crowds ever to pack
the Pony Gym how to handle a bas-
ketball as they downed Allen Aca-
demy 61 to 56 putting them in a
tie with Allen for second place in
the zone.
Allen got a quick basket to start
the game. Then the Ponies began
their onslaught with contributions
from all of the well balanced team
as they stacked up a slight lead.
With six minutes left to play in
the first half, Allen rallied to tie
the score eighteen all, but Rock
Myers added four points to push
the Ponies out front again.
Half time reading found the
Ponies 33, Allen 27, as Snelling
sunk two with the sounding of the
horn.
In the second half, the Cadet
team went ahead, managing to
get a three point margin on the
home club. Allen was soon over-
taken when Tully Powell and Bill
McKelvy hit jumpshots.
Jerry Snelling and Tully Powell
Pony guards collected fifteen each
Rock Myers followed with twelve
Bill McKelvy got eight points and
twelve rebounds, while Wallace
Saveli, acting team captain, made
six.

PE CLASSES
TEST FITNESS
The physical education classes
took part currently in physical fit-
ness tests. These tests consisted of
sit-up, push-ups, and kneebends.
The classes had been preparing for
the examinations of stamina by
wind sprints and various exercises.
The results proved favorable; al-
though some of the participants
were reported to be somewhat
sore.
Thirteen students achieved the
rating of excellent; twenty-seven
were in the above average class;
forty obtained an average record;
and only five dipped to the below
average mark. No one was classi-
fied as poor or very poor.
Jimmy Bates of Marshall and
Gerald Keeling of Henderson were
the only students to make perfect
scores.
These figures were released by
Coach Bill Griffin, Director of
Men’s Physical Fitness at Panola
College.
TEST SCHEDULED
A make-up test for freshmen
English students will be given to-
morrow morning during the activi-
ty period, according to Mrs. Merle
Glass.
Lists of students who made a
perfect score on the test when it
was administered last week have
been posted. All students who made
a single error or more, or who
failed to take the test because of
an excused absence, should re-
port for the test.
