Blues and Whites battle in Powder Puff game 230 Demure femininity was replaced with the vengeance of an uncaged Tiger on Decem- ber first, when the Girls Athletic Club play- ed their annual Powder Puff Football Game. Coaches for the Blues were Leslie Newman, John Morgan, and Gerald Howell; the Whites were coached by Jimmy Jackson, Larry Reed, and Gerry Dickerson. The night was cold, but an enthusiastic group of spectators watched as members of the weaker sex waged war against each other. Bruises, bandages, and bumps were the aftermath for participants in the game. “When you get the ball you go that-a- way,” says narried Coach Gerald Howell to Carolyn Crane.

King Leslie Newman escorts Queen Sondra Broxson down the white-carpeted aisle. Mr. Percy Reeves, principal of McComb High School, places the crown on the head of Queen Sondra Broxson. Valentine Court reigns Like magic, the Youth Center had been transform- ed into a romantic scene of cupids and hearts and soft lights. The occasion was the spring dance, sponsored annually by the Student Council, and held this year on the night of February thirteenth. Highlight of the dance was the presentation of the Valentine Court and the coronation of the reigning couple. At eight o’clock the royal processional started down the white-carpeted cen- ter aisle, and court members took their places before a heart-shaped backdrop. Queen Sondra Broxson receiv- ed her crown from Mr. Percy Reeves, principal of Mc- Comb High School, and she was presented a valentine bouquet by her escort, King Leslie Newman. After the traditional first dance by members of the court, students crowded the floor and danced the eve- ning through to the music of. the “Midnighters.” At twelve o'clock, with the music still ringing in our ears and a memory implanted in our hearts, we reluctantly drifted away from the Youth Center. We had passed another milestone in the Year of the Tiger.
