Cold weather hit the Perkins
area Monday night and sent the
temperature down rapidly. A lot
of cars wouldn't start Tuesday or
Wednesday morning and a lot of
people were already wanting
warm weather back.
The local coffee houses were in
demand as people tried to get up
steam to tackle the cold outdoors.
One care owner was complaining
that he was caught short in sup-
ply, but was sure glad that there
was a demand for the brew.

If you can't read this paper be-
cause of the ink smudges or if it
isn't what it used to look like, we
have the answer. Bill Dickson is
our new prep, man and we are
having quite a time learning how
to run this contraption,
Bill will undoubtedly lose a law
nights sleep over his new pet and
his patience stretched to the
breaking point, but I believe that
he will master the old Gutenberg.
By the way Roland, order us a
few hundred more pounds of pap-
er while we are learning.

It's Christmas time again and

the pretty Christmas scenery that
a number of families are putting
up.

ions we might add a note to all

The girls are enjoying a good
season thus far and should also
ctmtinue to improve. I wouldn't
be a bit surpMsed ff the top 12
glris aren't going to have to rea-
lly rustle in order to keep their
suits. There's a lot of talent am-
ong the girls and this should be
enough to keep the pressure on
~he gcarters and boost them on
through the season with heads-up
basketball.

Girls Win Two;
Boys Defeated
The Perkins Demonettes still
maintain an unblemished record
and the boys dropped two games
in the past week's action on the
hardwoods.
The girls scalped the Ripley
girls 43-29 in a lo~-sided tilt that
saw Perkins hold a 19-6 half-time
lead. Sandy Wells shoveled in 17
points and C A Duckett sank 10
for Perkins.
The Demons boys ran irtto
trouble in the first quarter and
the Warrior lead pulled the vict-
ory out o4 the fire, 55-52. The
Demons were only one pointbe-
hind midway in the third period.
Buddy Lawrence hit 16 points and
Jim Walker 14 to lead theoffen-
sive ~ttack.
In a rescheduled Friday night
game at Coyle the Demonettes
brushed aside the girls, 35-26, to
remain undefeated in the early
stages of the 1962 campaign.
Sandy Wells was again high
point girl with 17, followed by
Molly Fultz scoring 15, Betty
Brown scored 12 to lead the Coy-
le girls. A highlight of the game,
statistically, was the fact that the
Perkins girls committed only six
foul throughout the entire game.
Perkins boys ran into tough
sledding again as they went down
in d~ffeat 39-29. Emerging as top
man was Jim Walker with 13
poihts and Buddy Lawrence hit-
ting 10.
