From “Front Page, Upper Left Corner” by Bob Bozeman: Lest my Auburn friends worry that I’m getting soft in my mid-years, I’ll say it just once. We really don’t care for any more movie reviews, and he may not be “good ole Shug” anymore, but 7 to 3 is still the score.

CASTLEBERRY SCHOOL: Our basketball team, which has suffered two defeats in the two games played, is looking forward to a return game with Evergreen and also some other scheduled games. We hope to get on the winning side in our future games. Student interest is high and the boys appreciate this backing very much. They promise to repay this by winning the rest of their games.
Mr. and Mrs. Herndon Cunningham of Montgomery spent the weekend with relatives here. Mr. Cunningham, while fishing in the Country Club Pond, had the rare experience of catching two fish on one hook, one a jack fish and the other a seven-pound trout.
Mr. and Mrs. W.H. Wild left Saturday for McIntosh, where they will be the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Andrews on a deer hunt.
