is the Bugle Band. The band is
a part of the Cadet Corps on
parade and girls as well as boys
are a part of it. At the present
time there are instruments for
22 students. These are bugles,
parade drums and a bass drum
and Mr. Wilson is hoping to pur

to accommodate the many talent

The athletic teams from each

Throughout the year, junior and

Lose To St. Marys, Mitchell
By BILL BATTEN
South Huron lost their second
game of the 19 52 season when
St. Marys edged the local squad
7-5. The plays see-sawed up and
down the field most of the game
with both teams threatening.
St. Marys opened the scoring
in the second quarter when
Majoi* kicked for a single point
on a third down. St. Marys
scored a converted touchdown in
the third quarter on a fake kick.
Willis scored the touchdown
with Graham getting the extra
point.
South Huron came back in the
last* quarter to score a touch
down after a series of running
plays. Ken Moir took the ball
over the St. Marys line on a
quarterback sneak. The ball was
f u m bled while attempting
pass for the convert.
