“Superintendent Steve Coker announced today that Marshall Middle School has been awarded a grant from ‘Sports Illustrated’ magazine. The grant proposal, written by Mrs. Patricia Cassady, names each sixth grade student and all special education pupils at Marshall as recipients of a year’s subscription to the new periodical ‘Sports Illustrated for Kids.’ Editors of the widely-circulated sports magazine, believing that educators will find the new children’s publication useful in various curriculum areas, have selected schools (sixth-graders) throughout the nation to pilot the magazine in 1989. ‘We’re enthusiastic about receiving ‘Sports Illustrated for Kids,’ Superintendent Coker stated. ‘Not only do students enjoy reading about sports celebrities, but children are more likely to learn to analyze and graph sports statistics than, saying average yearly rainfall.’ According to Principal Jim Burden at Marshall, students should receive the first issue of the new magazine in early Januray.”

“Joe Ross and his son-in-law, Jack White, bagged these ‘twin’ gobblers during the holidays. Each turkey had a seven-inch beard.”
From “The Colyum” by Bob Bozeman – “1973 wound up on a sour note for me and other loyal Alabama Crimson Tide fans. The Tide played well but fell short in its bid for a fourth national championship.
“Notre Dame put one point too many on the scoreboard. Even tho’ it didn’t turn out right, I do believe it was one of the most thrilling and best games I’ve ever watched.
“As Maurice pointed out, there was one good thing about it, we didn’t have to drive home from New Orleans.
“Actually, the Southeastern Conference had one of its poorest performances ever in bowl play. Only Georgia in the Peach Bowl managed to win.
“Fred Stevens said he should have known it was going to be a bad night for Alabama. He stopped by Andy Physentzides to watch the first half with him. Just before the kickoff a bolt of lightning struck Andy’s set and knocked it out. That was some storm, wasn’t it.”
