It the challenge is met. the Boosters will realize their goal of $10,000 for 1965-66. The two Boosters, who prefer to remain anonymous until the goal is met. have of- fered a $1500 gift if the membership can match it 2 to I by Alumni Day. May 14. In other words, the Boosters need to raise $.^,000 in order to get this $1,500. The Booster Club is well on it's way to meeting its announced goal for the first time in several years. Gifts and pledges to date total well over $6,000. so there is no doubt of a successful year if this new offer can be matched. Now is the time for all Boosters to make Iheir contribution, if they haven't done so already, every $20.00 gift will mean $10.00 from the two "Mystery Boosters". By meeting the Booster goal, the club will aid the entire college budget in a most crucial development year. Our hard work- ins President Beall will certainly appreciate the assistance, as will the Alumni Associa- tion and Science Club, who will be stimu- lated in making their goals. WHAT'S NEW WITH YOU?

Class- (New) Address- News The Oglethorpe Stormy Petrels are wrapping up another fine basketball season, and at press time were readying to play in the NCAA Regional at Durham. N. C. March 4 and 5. The scrappy Petrels presented Coach Garland Pinholster with another 20-game winning season, his 6th in his 10 year collegiate career, in earning the bid to go to Durham. Coach Pinholster says this year's club has given him more thrills than any other Petrel team. At the beginning of the season, the Petrel boss expected a "rebuilding year" and the sophomore and freshmen-studded club won 20 of 25 encounters. If the Petrels are successful in winning two games in Durham, they will qualify for the NCAA College Division finals to be played in Evansville. March 9-11.
