“Crazy Legs” Car concentrates on another rebound in the 67-58 faculty victory. Teachers Star In Microphony Game With “Pow-pow-power in ole Virginia” the W G H Microphonies arrive ready to defeat the fabulous Ferguson faculty. Basket for basket the two teams battle for points. However, cheered on by the agile, graceful wonderful Ferguson women, “Goose” Tyson and “Wiz” Willis, spark the able men on to defeat the men of W G H. Door prizes, plenty of laughs, and a score of 67 to 58 provide a successful night for the students and faculty, and yields a nice profit for the Juniors’ prom fund. High scorer for the faculty, “Crazy Legs” Carn, is guarded by two microphonv players. Microphony cheerleaders Mrs. Childress, Miss Battle, Miss Ford, Miss Murphy, and Miss Reichard anxiously watch the men battle for valuable points. A microphony player jumps for a basket as “Goose” Tyson and “Sissy” Sizemore try to block the shot.

The band plays and girls dance during a demonstration. Mr. F. Lee Ford urges students to vote for Wallace. Robbie Cutler, who organized the assembly, speaks for his candidate. Republicans Win In Mock Election Everyone relaxes during the break after Mr. Marshall’s speech for Nixon. Bright balloons, demonstrations, confetti, handbills and a spirited, confused excitement characterize the mock political assembly that was held proceeding the November general election. An elephant, a donkey, and a crocodile, symbols of the three parties, brighten the auditorium walls. Guest speakers and students organize their ideas and platforms into two hours of persuasion and argument, punctuated with balloons, music, and cheers. Mr. John Marshall, Mr. Alan Diamonstein, and Mr. F. Lee Ford urge students to make a careful, thoughtful decision. As if predicting the national trend, FHS students at the polls elect the Nixon-Agnew ticket, defeating the Democrats, Humphry and Muskie and the Independents, Wallace and LaMav. 16 — Student Life
