MONMOUTH HIGH By Shirley Bleeke

Whew! Now let's see, where! shall we begin?] There was the first quarter, (scary), the second quarter,] (nerve racking)] and then a jit-’ tery half-time.] In the third] quarter we trail-’

ed, at one time, by twelve points, but suddenly the gymnasium roof nearly left the rafters, and the Eagles put on the pressure. By now you have probably guessed that this wasn't just an ordinary basketball game: it was a “thriller" in the full sense of the word. All of this excitement took place last Friday evening when the Adams county champs met the Lancaster Bobcats. The Eagles pulled the game out of the fire in the last few minutes and went on to win by a score of 53-50. To the team and the coach we would like to send our congratulations for playing such a thrilling game and for exhibiting such fine sportsmanship.
