PERRY RAMPEY PITCHES BRILLIANTLY AS SLATER ANNEXES SEASON OPENER
SPECIAL SERVICE HELD EASTER DAY
The annual Sunrise Easter Service was held at Slater Hall on Easter Sunday, April 6, with a small congregation present. Attendence was small probably due to the inclement weather.
Each year it has been the custom to hold this service out-of-doors, and such was the plan this year, but just before time for the program to begin, rain began to fall so it was necessary to hold the service inside this year. The transfer to the auditorium of Slater Hall was quickly made and the services were conducted there.
The Reverend J. M. Dean, pastor of the Church of God, presided over the exercises. The invocation was pronounced by the Reverend Charles Thompson, pastor of the Slater Bapitst Church.
Two special numbers were presented by the Glee Club of the Slater-Marietta School under the direction of Miss Kathleen Farnsworth. These numbers were special Easter music and were enjoyed by those present.
Robert H. Atkinson, Industrial Relations Manager of the Slater Company, delivered the addresss. Mr. Atkinson read the story of the Resurrection as found in Saint john's Gospel, and used as a text for his message the following words from Saint Mark's Gospel:" He is not here, He is Risen."
In his address, Mr. Atkinson explained the meaning of Easter to all Christains and the worth of the Christians religion in having a Living Christ rather than a few ideals as a guide to salvation.
At the conclusion of the address, the Reverend H. D. Hand, pastor of the Slater

Behind the brilliant two-hit pitching of Manager Perry Rampey, the Slater Baseball Nine opened the season Saturday, April 12, by defeating Camperdown by the score of 4 to 0. Many old timers at Slater were heard to say this performance was the best of any to be given at Slater in many years, in so far as an opening game was concerned.
The star of the game was Manager Rampey with his pitching. He successfully kept the Camperdown men eating out of his hand all afternoon.
Fielding honors of the day went to Christopher, the new Slater third basemen; however, the entire team played good ball behind their manager, as only 2 errors were recorded, which is good ball for an opening contest.
There were a number of new faces in the Slater line-up, with J. P. Christopher at third base.
Roy Lybrand at shortstop, and Fred Cox, Jr., in right field. Other players on the bench, but not taking part in the contest, were Ralph Knight, R. B. Buchanan, and the veteran pitcher, Bliss McCall.
The hitting star of the day was Bill Cashion, Slater catcher, who got 2 singles out of 4 times at bat.
A number of prizes were presented at this game through the courtesy of the Slater Community Association. Perry Rampey received a box of candy from the Commissary for scoring the first run, Bill Cashion received a pair of nylons from the Cloth Shop for getting the most hits.

LEFTY STROUD ON ALL-STATE TEAM
Donald "Lefty" Stroud, Slater - Marietta's high scoring, left handed forward, was named "ALL-State" last week for the "B" class basketball players of South Carolina by a committee of men from Jefferson. This was quite an honor, since only one other player from the entire upper state was given this distinction.
Lefty has nabbed many an honor since his basketball career started three years ago. He has been the highest scorer on the team for the past two years, and was one of the highest scorers in the county this year. Donald scored 311 points during the basketball season, which is quite a record for this county. His fancy left handed "hoop" shot is practically impossible to guard.
Lefty is in the 10th grade and has two more years to play on the Slater - Marietta High School team. We're expecting Donald to achieve many new goals of attainment during these two years.
