Hardwood Game
Is Resumed Here

The Class "B" Basketball
Team representing the Slater
Manufacturing Co., Inc. in the
Greenville Textile League
which is composed of teams
within a 50-mile radius of
Greenville, has had tough sled-
ding so far this year, and few
of the games are on the won
side of the column. However,
the team has played some good
basketball at times.

This is the first time since
1941 that the Slater Manufac-
turing Co., Inc. has had a team
of basketball to represent it, as
this activity was suspended at
Slater during the war along
with other competitive sports.

The league opened its regular
season December 2, 1946, and
two games are played each
week. Games are played on
Monday and Friday nights.

Members of the Slater Team
are composed of the following:
Fred Cox, forward; Bill Cash-
ion, forward; Bill Miller, cen-
ter; Bill Lybrand, guard;
"Budd" McMakin, guard; Fred
Cashion, forward; Bill Hall,
forward; Bill Cody, center;
Jack Cashion, guard; and W.
K. Knox, guard.

Practically all of the mem-
bers of this team are from this
community and received their
early experience in the hard-
wood games here at Slater.

Scores so far this season are
as follows: Slater 24, Laurens
35—Slater 28, Spartanburg Jr.
College 40—Slater 22, Camper-
down 31—Slater 22, Judson 24
—Slater 21, Monaghan 46—Sla-
ter 20, Duncan 43—Slater 34,
Sou. Franklin 54—Slater 25,
Greer 33—Slater 45, Whitmire
38—Slater 30, Woodside 42—
Slater 42, Pelzer 49—Slater 40,
Laurens 31—Slater 52, Slater-
Marietta High School 32—Sla-
ter 31, Camperdown 42.

The team this year is coached
by J. H. "Slick" Oglesby, vet-
eran Slater coach and basket-
ball official. Coach Oglesby re-
ports that he has a number of
excellent basketball players on
his squad, and if he can find a
winning combination, he feels
sure that before the end of the
season, Slater will give its op-
ponents plenty of trouble.

A number of teams, against
which Slater has competed this
year, have maintained basket-
ball schedules and teams during
the past several years and
thus, naturally, have the ad-
vantage on the Slater boys who
are again resuming the hard-
wood games here after a lapse
of several years. Loyal Slater
fans are urged to attend the
games and back their team and
let the players know that, win
or lose, they have the backing
of the home town folks.

NORTON-HOOD

Of interest to many friends
here is the marriage of Miss
Ruth Norton and Mr. Eugene
Hood, of Easley, on December
22.

Mrs. Hood is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. B. P. Nalley, and
until a short time ago was em-
ployed here at Slater.

After a week's honeymoon
trip in the mountains of North
Carolina, the couple are making
their home in Easley, but ex-
pect to move to Greenville in
the near future.

On Saturday night, January
4, Mrs. Hood was honored with
a household shower at the home
of Mrs. B. P. Nalley, given by
Mrs. J. D. Norton of Greenville
and Mrs. Nalley. Everyone had
an enjoyable time, and Mrs.
Hood received many lovely and
useful gifts for her home.

Double Ceremony
Unites Couples

Of widespread interest
throughout this area is the
double wedding ceremony unit-
ing Mr. Waymon Dublin and
Miss Juanita Crowe and Mr.
William Marcus Mull and Miss
Helen Virginia Hipp, which was
performed at the home of Mr.

cemter 21, at 3:30 o'clock.

Miss Crowe and Mr. Dublin
were married by the Rev. M. R.
Chastine, Pastor of Peters
Creek Baptist Chuch, and Miss
Hipp and Mr. Mull were mar-
ried by the Rev. M. A. Martin,
Pastor of Cedar Lane Baptist
Church.

The vows were spoken before
an improvised altar decorated
with mistletoe, ground cedar,
holly, and wedding bells. Can-
delabra, holding large candles,
and large baskets of ferns with
holly completed the arrange-
ment.

Wedding music was rendered
by Miss Bobbie Hannon, and
the candles were lighted by Ed-
gar Hipp and D. L. Crowe, Jr.,
brothers of the brides. The
brides were given in marriage
by their fathers, and the double
ring ceremony were used.

The brides were blue travel-
ing suits with black accessories
and corsages of sweetheart
roses.

Immediately following the
ceremony, a reception was held
for the forty guests present.

Mr. and Mrs. Dublin are
making their home with the
groom's mother, Mrs. Edna
Dublin of Slater, while Mr. and
Mrs. Mull are making their
home with the bride's parents,
