Aside from their routine tasks of checking and stacking, an exhibit of old yearbooks, back issues of Gaugers and various mementos for Homecoming was the girls' first project. In November the club successfully sponsored Mary Ashcraft's campaign to win the office of sec- retary of District VI. At the same meet Jan's his- torian's book took a blue ribbon. A rummage sale, a tour of Kilgore College's li- brary and a buffet supper meeting kept the group busy in December. In the spring the club gave an educational pro- gram for the PTA and backed J an as a candidate for historian of the state association. There to see Jan installed as a state officer were Linda, Cissy and sponsor Miss Norma Forsyth.

Back on home ground, the Roughnecks tied Talco's Trojans, 18-18. Before a Friday the 13th Homecoming crowd the Oakies opened district play against New London's potent and highly publicized Wildcats and came away on the short end of a 28-6 score. They got their revenge by drubbing Judson, 8-6, and Leverett's Chapel, 18-0. Then Gaston's red hot Red Devils snapped the streak, 28-0.
