Homecoming fans assembled in the twenty-degree chill to pay homage to the Queen, and watch the football game. Crossnore kiked off, and Old Fort began a halting march downfield. The ball changed hands several times in the first quarter, and neither team threatened until just before the half, when Old Fort moved to the fifteen-yard line ---- and lost the ball on a fumble. During the intermission, Margaret McDonald, ac- companied by her court, walked onto the field and was crowned Homecoming Queen. Fred Harris placed the crown, and Don Gibbs presented her with a bouquet of yellow pom-poms. The second half of the game was largely enevent- ful, and the contest ended in a scoreless tie.

Long hours of practicefor perfecting new routines, and organizing pep rallies for the student body demand much time and energy.

In the following week Curley Elliott threw a 30- yard pass for the only score as Old Fort went down be- fore the powerful NCSD boys. The final margin was 41-6. J. W. Turner snagged a long pass to minimize a large deficit in the game against Cranberry. The final score was 48-6, in favor of Cranberry. Bad luck and fumbles plagued the Redskins as they went down before Drexel 26-O. Blazing off the newly-developed single wing offense, Crazy-legs Moore went 45 yards to prevent another whitewash as East Yancey won 19-6. The Conference Champions, Glen Alpine, rolled over a resisting Redskin line to win 39-O. 1 Injuries increased the odds as Old Fort went down before Salem, 40-O. The Homecoming game with Crossnore was a spirited contest but ended in a scoreless tie. James Melton caught a 20-yard pass to score against Spruce Pine, but the final score was 18-7, favor of Spruce Pine. Rushing yardage failed to tally for Old Fort as they lost the final game 13-O to Oak Hill. Loss of experienced players and injuries attributed tothe 1961 off-season, but prospects for next year are more encouraging.

These victories and defeats represented breathless moments for Old Fort fans, many games being won or lost by very small margins.

This achievement brought them recognition as Eastern Skyline Champions and McDowell 3 5 County champions. In tourney play, they were edged 38 to 36 in the finals by Glenwood, but found consolation E in placing Delores Walker and Joyce Lytle on the All-Tournament team. The maidens climaxed the season by 'J defeating East Yancey 43-42 to win the Skyline Conference championship. In addition, Brenda Johnson, Joyce ' Lytle, and Nancy Lytle were acclaimed as All-Conference players.

The class invited people in the community to visit and discuss with them these various subjects. One of the more interesting discussions occurred when a panel composed of students and parents studied the role of the home in the development of good citizens. John McEntire, a member of the class, presided. CHAMPION SPELLER SANDRA KNUPP spells another yard-long word to demonstrate the ability that won her first place ina county-wide contest. She began the path to this honor by winning her division in the school competition. A month of intense study followed this, and paid off on March 31, when she defeated a Glenwood finalist for first place. For this achievement, Sandra was presented with a trophy, which may be seen in a case at the entrance to the building. ROBERT BYRD retired the high school spelling trophy for Old Fort by winning the 1962 contest. His victory com- pleted the series of three consecutive wins begun by Penny Carver in 1960 and 1961. 7 r'-N1 ., s . .-nn-sq -r Qs'-f 2? .
