Rev Basil P. Sharp and family returned to the United States from Taiwan the last of August. Last week, we received a copy of his missionary circular letter written as he left Taiwan and we share it with you.
Greetings,
In giving a party, the time to stop a game and shift to another is when the people are enjoying the game the most and wish to continue. And so it is with us as we have decided to make a shift from Taiwan back to the USA, from being missionaries under the Division of International Mission of the General Executive Board to being members of the staff of the Ecumenical Institute…
The object of missionaries is to work themselves out of a job. This is what we have done. We feel that the work which we came to Taiwan to do has been accomplished…
WARRIOR BASKETBALL
The PCHS Warriors have been victorious by decisive margins in the first two games of the season. Bath County fell by a score of 81 to 55 and Elkins was defeated, 92 to 76.
In the Elkins game, all five PCHS starters scored in double figures. Jimmy Cutlip had 35 points, Jim Ryder 16, Ricky Doyle 14, David Jonese 13, and Albert Pondexter 10.
Pondexter’s skilled hands were responsible for 5 steals and 5 recoveries. Doyle led in assists with 5; and Cutlip had 7 steals and blocked two shots…
In both games the team played well together and showed a lot of hustle.
