The third scene showed the Pilgrims preparing for the Thanksgiving feast here in America. In the fourth scene, the Pilgrims were seen on their way to church with guns carried on their shoulders and Bibles tucked under their arms. At church the Pilgrims joined in singing the Doxology after which came the Thanksgiving prayer. Sports Flint played Rice in baseball in January. Out and out it was a pretty one-sided game. Flint took the lead eight to nothing in the first inning and kept it in the rest of the game. The Flint boys were pretty confident all through the game. Only once did they ever doubt coming out winners. This was in the second inning when Rice rallied and ran in five scores. Top scorers on our team were Cecil Hickman and Phillip Walker with three each. The only home run of the game was hit by Billy Wilkerson. The final score was 17 to 5. Umpires were Mr. Marrow and Mr. Burns. Rice girls defeated Flint’s volleyball team.
