Football Team Has Great Weekend In Miami

On Saturday morning, January 4, member s of the La ndon foot . ball team along w ith the coaches began a long-awaited trip to Miami to attend the Pro Bowl football game in the Orange Bowl. The trip was the climax of the '63 football season and was earned by selling household paper supplies a nd presenting a h ootenanny.

The bus started rolling a little after 9', beginning the long trip. However, no time was wasted getting out t he cards. There wer e high stakes at times and some were big losers; ask J ack Mizell a nd Bob Hammersla about that.

At 1 :30 we stopped in Melbourne and a te lunch at a nice cafe­teria . After eating, ma ny of us invaded nearby shops t o buy some ­thing to help pass the time on the bus. Brent T urbow and Mike Cul­pepper bought "Sword in the Stone" cutouts and enjoyed putting t hem together.

We arrived in Miami about 5:30 and checked into our rooms at the Patricia Hotel. It wasn't long before most of the boys r e­covered their cards and starte d playing again.

New Year's Resolutions - Why Not? With the arrival of the New Year come parties, a vacation, and

plenty of fun. Also with the New Year come New Year's resolu­tions.

New Year's resolutions should be made by all. They may per­tain to manners, conduct, cleanliness, studies, or any such subject. But any resolution has only one main purpose; to improve you in some way.

Many people think making resolutions at the beginnin~ of a New Year is nonsense and a pure waste of time. They fee l only experience can show your bad points. But why take the time and energy to give experience an opportunity to take place? Wouldn't you be that much better off if you DIDN'T give experience the chance, to show people you don't have to do something wrong to see what's right?

Resolutions are made to be kept. Many arc, but many are brok­en. A person won't be perfec t if h e keep s his own. but he will be better in his and everyone else's eyes. Even if you do happen to break them, wouldn't you feel better if you knew you did take the time to make them? All it takes is a little effort-a lmle effort for su ch a good cause.

Making resolutions doesn ' t necessarily mean taking out a sheet of paper and listening "] will do this" or "I will not do that" . You can sit down one night a nd think them out. You can find the best resolutions for you in your church or synagogue and there and every­where you can use them.

Making resolutions is NOT ridiculous and a waste of time. It w ill be important now and in later life to find your faults and dis ­pose of them. It is important to turn over a new leaf; to shake off I he old and take on the new.

It is not too late; it never i s, and never will be. Whether think­ing them out or listing them down, it is good practice and it is not­able to tackle your bad points. If you haven' t, how about giving them a try-it's such a good deal for so little work.

P.H.G.

A Year of Hope As every new year b egins. it is n ecessary lo look at the past

ycnr. The year 1963 can w ell be called a year of d isaster. The people of the world suffe red a great loss when John F.

Kennedy was assasinated, but it was also a year of di saster for other reasons. It was a year of disaster because of the death of Pope John XXIll. the death of four N egro girls at the hands of a ruthless bomber, and the ove rflowing of the Viaont Dam killing nearly 3,000 Italians. There were other disasters such as the Bud­dists self-sacrifices and the s inkin g of the T hresher. But d espite all this. the people of the world enter a year of hope.

The world enters a year o f n ew poli tical and relig ious leader­ship under President Johnson. Prime-Minister Home. Chancellor Erhard, and Pope Paul VI. The test ban treaty opposed by only two world powers. France and R ed China, offers new hope for world p<"ace. In our own country President Johnson has declared a war 011 poverty; and although the United States saw a B'irmingham, it a lso saw hvo Presidents ask for a n end to b igotry and discrimina­t ion.

As we begin a new year, w e can lool< at the world around us and feel saddened . but not despaired. The lessons of 1963 and the promises of 1964 both reaffirm the lTuth of. E cclesiastes : "All things h11ve their season. and in their times all things pass under h eaven . , . A lime lo destroy. and a lime to build ."

J. B.

RAMBLI NG THO·UGHTS We must be as courteous to a man As we are to a picture, Which we are willing to give the advantage of a good light. Hate is a dead thing. Who of you would be a dead tomb? Should you sit upon a cloud- you would not see The boundary line between one country and another, Nor the boundary stone between a farm and a farm. It is a pity we cannot sit upon a cloud.

Junior High Welcomes '·64 With Array of Parties

by Linda Cohn If you want to know the secret

of a successful New Years Eve party, just ask Harvey Eber. Julie Lockwood, Laine Siegal, Gary Santora, Carolyn Bloom, and George Turbow. All agree that it was a great party.

Esquire held its annual holiday dance and banquet at the Robert Meyer Hotel on the 30th of Dec­ember. The music was supplied by the popular J-Notes. Some of the Freshmen seen having a won­derful time were Barbie Mendel­son, Donna Stein, Rochelle Klug­lose, and Linda Gerbert.

The T.N.T. Y-Teens showed their holiday spirit at their Christmas Dance on December 27 at the Lakewood-San Jose Fire Department. Some of those hav­ing a marvelous time were Marie Tiffany, Pam Colbert, Linda Webb, Carol O'neil, Chuckie Barnes, Buddy Macarages, Robert Padgett, and David Patton.

INTRODUCING CANDY B UTLER AND

SANDY MANSON

See that gir l up in the pic­t ure!! She's Candy Butler and she's the girl I'm going to be telling you about. Well, first of all, Candy is a member of the Junior Classical League and dives for the Landon swimming team. Candy is a member of Teen Co­tillion and attends the Southside Methodist Church.

In her free time, Candy en­joys playing the piano and danc­ing, for which she has a great deal of talent. Sewing is another thing that Candy does very well. She also enjoys water sports in the summer and parties all of the time.

In a boy Candy is looking for someone who is "tall, likes to have a good time, has a good persona lity, and looks help, too." When she's not looking for this boy, she's listening to " What's Easy for Two is So Hard For One" of eating French Fries and a coke after Landon foot­ball game. Oh, Candy's favorite color is blue.

Candy's future is yet still un­decided, but she knows that she wants to work with people. I know one thing,' she'll succeed in anything.

If anyone is ever sad, I can tell you where to send him or her. Right straight o v er to Sandy Manson is your best bet, for Sandy is always one big bun­dle of happiness with a smile that covers three-fourths of his face.

Well, now for a little informa­tion about Sandy. He's a member of the Junior Classical League, the Ninth Grade F ootball team, and the Ninth Grade Basketball team. Sandy attends the South Jacksonville P resbyterian Church and is a member of Junior Co­tillion.

While sitting home doing noth ­ing Sandy likes to listen to "What Kind of F ool am I" and eat French fries and have a Sprite .

Whoever said, "The best things come in small packages," must have had Karen Manson in mind. This petite, green-eyed senior is outstanding at Landon if for no other reason than that she is the only female member of Senior Fellows. Besides this, Karen be­longs to Sr. Girls, the swim team, L-Club, Quill and Scroll, and Lan­donian staff (Circulation Man­ager) . November found Karen busy as a Homecoming Sponsor, and in December, she was pre­sented in t he Christmas Court.

Karen especially likes to go on dates just to have a good time and stop for a bar-b-que sandwich afterwards. She says the boy she goes out with must be consider­ate, have blue eyes plus a good personality, a nd be taller t han she is.

Karen's most ardent wish is -(You guessed it!) - a boyfriend. When she's not man-hunting (who isn't), handling the Lan­donian money is her worst pro­blem. Karen feels t hat the grea­test problem confronting teen­agers is finding good places to go. As far as I can tell, people who talk behind other's backs is the only thing that irks Karen.

Next year will find Karen at Brevard Jr. College; but, as yet, she doesn't know what she'll study. She may have her doubts but I don't - Karen will go far. '

One of the most act ive Sr. Fel­lows I know is Neal Joseph Fink , born here in J acksonville on June 30, 1946. Neal doesn't say much , but when he does, he has ver y definite ideas. This is obvious be­cause his friends have made him Key Club recording secretary, National Honor Society veep, Jr. Academy of Science President, Esquire vice-president, a mem­ber of Historical Society and of the Christmas Court.

Keeping up his grades is Neal's main occupation , but he also likes green, r oast beef, golf, and movie dates with a cute, vivacious, gre­garious girl by the name of Max­ine.

Becau se he's so outstanding, there are a num ber of colleges Neal can choose from, but he singles out Vanderbilt as his pro­bable future Alma Mater. He says that if he can just find time to do everything, everything will go all right for him .

Neal believes that the pressures of socie ty a re a teenager's worst problem, but all this tension sure hasn't slowed him down. He k eeps a fast, steady pace and r eally gets th ings accomplished. Remember, it's the quiet ones you have to watch out for!

Love Those Holidays! by Harriet Boatwright

"Happy N ew Year one and all," F rom the Lion's Roar Staff to you !

\Ve hope your N ew Year was c1 joyous one, And w ill last the whole year through!

Now I know :you're probably thinking That with homework, school, and tests ;

Your N ew Year's future looks mighty grim. With no week-day fun at best;

But try to do Just what I do When things are lookin g dow n ;

Remember all the fun you have . When holidays do come 'round !

The Christmas dances, the N ew Y ear''$ parties. To welcome the N ew Year in ;

The sleep you get to catch up on Just makes you want to grin!

Soon you'll begin to realize That school really isn' t that bad;

And going back to the old routine W on't ma ke you half so sad!

Now with this in mind I beg you To study your hearts away ;

'C ause just tliink, Landon students, S u mmertime isn't that far away!

Sandy also enjoys watching T.V. a nd playing baske tball. His favo­rite color is also blue.

As for the f uture Sandy knows one thing for sure, he wants to

go to college but he doesn't know where he wants to go yet . With all of hi s qualities and his per­sona lity , S a n d y will achieve whatever he wants to.

K.I. T. Hi· Lites Kenny 61-Lions 56

Landon's ·hope for capturing the runner-u'p title of this Christ­mas Tournament came to an ex­citing but disappointing end when Bishop Kenny displayed keen ball control in the winning moments of the game to thwart any Lan­don attempt toward victory.

The Crusaders, who beat the Lions by 13 points in their last encounter (see story elsewhere on this page), raced off to a seven point lead in the first per­iod. They mounted their lead on some ball stealing tactics which left the Lions down by nine points about midway in the game.

Using an effective 2-1-2 and 1-3-1 defense, the Crusaders boosted their total more than 10 points over the Lions'. The Lan­don quintet finally came around late in the t hird and fourth per­iods as they chopped a 10 point deficit down to three. But Ken­ny instituted a freeze about this time, and the Lion offensive march was halted.

TP 56-Lions 43 Terry Parker, the team

romped over the Lions in quite easy fashion in their first meet, found things were very different as that same Parker squad met the "New Look" in a peppy Lan­don quintet. In their first game with the Lions, the Braves held a commanding lead throughout the game. But the situation in their second meet was very unlike their first as the Lions held on to every move Parker made.

Landon's improved poise, com­bined with an active shuffle of­fense, and aided by an abundan ce of confidence, cuppled on to su­perior defensive and offensive sidelights to battle the experi­enced B r a v e s through three quarters of rugged action before they fell victim to Parker's one­man scoring machine.

The Lions never trailed the Braves by more than five points, and often came within two points of the team that came into the tournament without a loss, and had a great chance to win the tourney, as well as possibly re­presenting this area in the state meet at the end of the season. The Landon boys played hard and captured a 17- 13 rebound edge despite the height disadvantage.

The vast overnight improve­ments of the Landon team ad­versely affected Parker. For with­out the Braves' one man machine that supplies the team's punch, the Lions would have won.

Lions 34-Rams 33 Landon's spirited Lions rallied

for their first win in the KIT with a stunning come-from-be­hind V.ictory over the winless Englewood Rams.

The Lion's shuffle offense fail­ed to out-maneuver the Rams, and Coach Leake and company found t h e m s e 1 v e s trailing throughout the game. But the Rams held an uncomfortable five point margin during the match, and the situation changed sud­denly when their players met with foul trouble. This is when the Lions made their move.

The Landon quintet lagged be­hind the Rams by five at the end of the third period. Then they started a press which eventual­ly enabled them to knot t he score, 31-31. Then Landon took the lead with 2:15 left in the game with successive foul points by Arthur Childress and Richard McEvoy. The lead was the Lions' for good.

,, There aren't many teams that could have been as cold as the Lions were when they met the Crusaders of Kenny on December 21. Coach Leake's boys seemed to connect with their field goal attempts during the · warm-up, but it was quite a different story once the actual action got under way. FOR LIONS

·• Lee Slips Past Fightin' Five The Crusaders mashed 16 points

on the board before the Lions came through with their first. Kenny waltzed on, greatly pass­ing the 25 point barrier while the Lions hunted for a double-figure score. The Landon quintet was still searching the airways for the path to the basket in the third period as Kenny raced up a gi­gantic 30 point lead.

J. V. Players Off and Running

Landon's Baby Lions t>asketball team is well into their season and displaying some great prospective players to add a bright light for next year's varsity squad.

Under the capable coaching of Ed Cunningham, the team glided to three strafght victories to open the season. The first one came against Paxon. Led by Bob Glenn and Dave Merrick, they held a slight lead throughout the af­fair and came out on top in th e end, 43-40.

The team then faced Bolles' Bullpups. Again they r acked up a substantial lead but the eager 'Dogs cut it ctown to only six late in the last period. Dave Mer­rick turned in tm outstanding re­bounding performance in the last period to pace the team to win number two, 40-42.

It was quite n comback for the Lions to make in the duPont game. They were lagging behind in the game from the very be­ginning, but made a spectacu­lar move in the last seconds of the game as they took the lead and squeezed out a stunning one point win.

The Jayvee lost their first game to rival Terry Parker, placing the record at 3-1. But disaster set in and they have only won two of the last six games, placing their record at 5-5 as they tackle For­rest.

Leading the scoring attack for the Baby Lions is Dave Merrick with almost a 12 point per game average. Following in his path is Doug Smith, scoring at 9.6 point clip, and Frank Gaudios with a 6.5 average per game. All jayvee games start at 6:15 as a pr elude to the varsity clash and deserve your support.

by Richard PanJdn

The difference in this game wasn't the fie ld goal total but the foul shot tolly. The Lions hit eight of only 19 field attempts while Englewood connected on 14 of 42 tries. 'fhe Rams hit only for five foul points while the Lions racked up 18. Richard Mc­Evoy hit the tlouble figures for his sixth time in seven games, this game with 11 points.

A stubborn Landon basketball team, destined to see greater glories as the season wears on, toppled to their seventh defeat as a much taller and experienced Lee General squad dug in to cap­ture their fifth straight win.

Two main obstacles faced the Lions throughout the evening. One was the great height dis­advantage. Lee gathered in the majority of rebounds and turned them into point-producing plays. The second obstacle that termi­nated a Landon movement in the third period was a great defen­sive measure by the Generals, who used a zone and man- to-man setup interchangeably.

bined their talents in using an affective shuffle offensive plan to stay within five points of the team that no other team has come within 11 points of beating,

The Lions were able to hold the scoring pace of city-leader Steve Lucas down below seven points in the . first half but they were behind at the half, 30-24.

In the second half, the Lions' zone defense held Lucas' scoring down again, as he ended up the evening 10 points below his average. Even without Lucas, the Generals paced the Lions' score by five throughout most of the game to pull out a 50-45

victory. Richard McEvoy hit for

Sensing a great disaster in the making, Coach Leake switched his offensive tactics in the final period. His maneuver apparently paid off as his group closed a 32 point gap down to only 13 points in less than five minutes. Nevertheless, the Lions ended up on the short end of the final score, 70-57.

The original Lion five was without the services of Ronnie 11 points, and his was the eighth

Sophomore center Mike O'N cul finally proved his worth by com­ing through with 15 markers for the night. Ronnie Ellison also matched O'Neal's performance with 15 points. This loss placl'd the Lions' record at 1-4 as the Kenny Tournament rolls around.

Ellison who is nursing a leg in- time in nine games that he has jury. But seven players com- made the double figure circuit.

Hapless Lions Bow To Fletcher, 46-45

Fletcher's floundering Senators made the most of Landon's sloppy offensive first half play to gain a strong hold over the Lions and pull out a close victory. Landon's team was painfully bothered by an increasing display of poor floorwork which enabled the beachmen to scramble many of­fensive manuevers and hold down the score.

Although the Lions seemingly had the advantage over the in­ferior quality of the Fletcher squad, they never were able to catch them in the first period; it ended in favor of F letcher by four points. Finally, spurted on by Paul William's playing of his best game of the year, the care­less Lions eked out a one point margin at the half.

But the third period proved to be all for the Senators as the Lions reverted back to a loosely knit offense and wide-open de­fense which enabled the beach boys to pop the nets on easy lay­ups. As the fourth period un­folded, it looked as if Fletcher had the game wrapped up as they rallied up a strong 10 point lead. Late in the game however, ami­able Howard Coker, still nursing the effects of a broken ankle, dug in to relight the dwindling flame of the Landon scoring attack. He connected on one shot to spark a brilliant comeback attempt by the Lions that unfortunately end­ed on a jumper by Paul with no more time remaining, the final score reading 46- 45.

Paul l ed his mates for the night with six goals and one foul point for a total of 13. He was follow­ed by Arthur Childress and cen· ter ace Mike O'Neal, who both racked up nine for the losing Lions.

Lions Trounced By Dragons And Braves

by Steve Danese

The fighting Lions basketball Why the Dragons were able to team, in their third and fourth outshoot the Lions in the last tries to make' this a successful quarter no one knows, but no season, fell to two of the strong- one can say Landon had no top est teams in the city, duPont and shooters. Richard McEvoy led the Terry Parker by the considerable Lion field with 12 points while margins of 19 and 42 points. Ronnie Ellison came next with

The 58-39 score in favor of 7. duPont doesn't tell the real story of the game. The Lions stayed with the Dragons all the way and even led at the end of the first quarter, 13-12. By the end of the half the Dragons began to set the pace and led the Lions 21-19; at the start of the fourth quarter Landon trailed by four, 33-29.

It was the fourth quarter that told the story. With the great 19 point scoring effort by Mike Carr, the Dragons scored 24 points to our 10 and won the game.

In the Parker game the Lions weren't able to keep the pace set by the Brave's gun Alan Treece. Treece, connecting for 19 points, mostly from the side was the con­tributing factor of the 89-47 trouncing from the braves.

Richard McEvoy paced the Lion attack with 12 pojnts while Ronnie Ellison connected for l 1.

Although the Lions have not entered into a steady winning column yet, the team, paced by Richard McEvoy's sharpshooting and Ronnie Ellison's rebounding, is bound to come up with thnt winning combination soon .

like Villager sweaters (Jeanie Beas ley, Linda Buie, and Terry Thomas), Vi II ager b louses (Jane Abercrombie, Amy Barratt, and yours tru ly), and gold identifi­cation bracelets (Marka Booher and Dottie Koontz) were the gifts of favorite beaus. One lucky senior gir l really got a surp rise­a real night on the town - din­ne r, Cleopatra, and all . A few other favorite Christmas gifts were Lou Robert's big, stuffed llc;in, Vivian Ha lpern's "BIRD" p in, Susan Winch 's egg nog Metrical, and Arlene Krame r's VIiiager shoulder bag. My big­gest surprise was guess what? - a new notebook.

WHAT'S THERE TO DO Getting away from fashion

THE BEA TLE- BEAT Have you hea rd of the Be at­

les? If yo u haven't, you' re miss­ing something. The Beatles are a group of four, Engli sh singers who kinda' favor sheep dogs, but can really stamp out the music. If you've heard "She Loves You" or "I Wanna Hold Yo ur Hand", you know, but to get the rea l effect you have to see them. They'll be on Ed Sul­livan in February and I can't w ait- I crave 'em.

At 6:30 we walked to a nearby cafeteria which soon became known as the "Over Eighty Club."

Right after supper we wasted no time getting acquainted with Miami. Some of us took in a good movie, but most of us took a bus to Miami Beach.

On getting off the bus, we were given directio118 to the beach but it seems that few went to the beach

The coaches took in a good movie. Meanwhile, back at the hotel a few Landon girls surprised us with an unexpected visit. '

Early the next morning certain members of the basketball team joined us after traveling all night. We were all disappointed in learn­ing we lost the game by one point.

At 8, a few of us made the brave move of getting out of bed and going to eat breakfast. Most of us, however, couldn't seem to re­cover from the late card games.

After breakfast some of us went souvenir hunting. Frank Shultz, Mike Gardener, Randy Houser and Steve Danese invaded Miami's Memorial Park, while on the hotel's sun roof, Coach Stern was en­joying a cool morning Of sunbathing.

At 1, we boarded a school bus which was to take us to the game. Taking count to make sure everyone was aboard, we found that one was missing. After a check of the hotel we finally found that Susan Winch, our lost cheerleader, had locked herself in the bathroom.

The stadium was packed with over 54,000 spectators, all expect­ing an exciting game between the two playooff teams of the NFL championship, the Packers and the Browns. The Packers beat the Browns 40-23.

After dinner, everyone piled aboard the bus for the long t rip home. It ended a wonderful weekend in a beautiful city. However, the fun wasn't over yet. Many recovered the deck of cards from their pockets but others read magazines obtained at the last minute from a newstand. •

. ':'le arrived back at the school at 2 :30 Monday morning. Maybe this is the reason some contracted a sudden disease of sleeping sick­ness.

WHAT'S UP? by Bits Lindley

'fhe new year has come and everyone's made r esolutions by the dozens, but how many of you have kept them? Do you have strong convictions or do you have a guilt complex right now because you broke every single one you made?

Here are some New Year's re­solutions made by some Landon-ites . .. .. . Charles Moscovitz - That Evelyn

won't go to the convention nex t year.

Beverly Setzer-I will win the W.M.B.R. contest and go out with Tab Hu nte r .

Connie Brantley-I won 't make any more monster faces except on Halloween .

Ter ry Thomas - I won't tease Lions anymore, I promise.

Sidney Rosenberg-Next Christ ­mas I'm going to be well!

Billy Royall-I'm going to gr adu­ate this June.

Carol Boyer-I won 't call Cyn­thia Bucholtz by her name, Faye.

Jane Rothchild-I'm not going back with Andre.

Bill Duguid-Next Sunday foot­ball practice will start!

Kathern Kriedlekamp-I'm going to stop bitting my nail, really .

Claudia Kowkabany-I'm not go­ing to look like Claudette!

Over the holi­days Terry Tho­mas gave an open house be­fore the Christ ­mas Dance: It was a big suc­cess b e c a u s e

everyone was there , and the food was great . Terry's Christmas started early that night when Mike Cagel from Kenny gave her a burgandy sweater.

Rickie Morgan gave a luncheon which Sheryl Wood, I r is Touch­ton, Marsha Scarbourgh, J ean Tomberlain and others attended. She served party biscuits with ham, stringbeans with almonds, and hot cocoa. Sounds like it would be good to eat right now.

Bob Remley had a dance and hootenany right in his own home. Those seen joining in the fun were J ohn Elton , Ann Styron, June Lang, and John Smith. He served hotdogs, hamburgers, and cokes for refreshments .

Shelly Drew also gave a lunch­eon for Beatriz C. Diaz, her Mexi­can exchange studen t . Nancy Troxler, Francis Shutts, Gail Lo­gan, Lilly Ossi, Doris Newman, and lots of other girls enjoyed the delicious food Shelly served . Horrice entertained everyone with his taperecorder. It w as real­ly a nice luncheon and she kept giving everyone more and mor e good things to eat right up to the end of the party.

Connie Brantley gave a slum ber party after a game. Con nie stayed busy all night keeping K aren Manson, Christy Tate, Lyn n Go­yen, Linda QRatteree , and the other girls awake. She can't stand to see people sleeping.
