L'iE'i'w IFSMA UTHE VALLEY OF GHOSTSN This play was produced by the Junior Class of Utica High School in the auditorium on Nov- ember 2O, and was acclaimed by all as a huge success. The production was directed by Miss Katharine McCoy. The cast consisted of: Jeanne Scott, Jean Patton, Mary Ruth Bell, Dorothy Smith, Frances Berry, Esther Berger, Dwight Hotchkiss, Charles Martin, Franklin Muston, Wayne Fawcett, Rudolph Matz, and Forrest Wil- kin. Production staff included: Betty Ritchey, Don Snoke, Roberta Pritchard, Gordon Taylor, Carl Weston, Charline Hooper, and lla Jean Hull. This play was a mystery play in which the mystery effects really nc1icked.' It had to do with a haunted house, ghosts, crazy people, and all the other elements intended to freeze the blood. Football The Utica Blackshlrts, consisting of Frank- lin luston, John Hutton, Chuck Gilbreath, Charles Booth, Pete Thompson, Carl Weston, Earl Booth, Rudy Matz, Gordon Taylor, Don Snoke, Fred Husband, John Mantonya, Marion Troyer, Dave Douglass, Harold Tharp, Ed Reynolds, Earl Dove, Bob Young, Bob Schmitt, John Webster, A1- len Deuschle, Bob Dunlap, Dwight Hotchkiss, A1- bert Splllman, Glenn Richcreek, and Tom Pritch- ard, experienced an unsuccessful season, having lost five, won three, and tied one of their games. Althrugh the Utica team tipped the scales at an average of only l55 pounds, the team put up a hard battle against much heavier opponents. The Blackshirts, whose chief threat was tim forward pass, were handicapped by wet weather in almost all games.

'The pu5IIcation staff chose the Indian idea as its theme. Some fine art work along this line has been done by our art editor, Charles Gilbreath. Each member of the staff, together with the advisor, Miss Martha Mouser, has worked hard to make this yearbook a success. We are hoping that it will meet with the hearty approv- al of the public.--Pauline Davis, Editor of Egg 1957 Builder. SPORTS AT UTICA Basketball Utica had a very successful basketball season this year, winning ten of the twelve county games. This enabled them to enter the first round of the district tournament held at Westerville. As only two seniors on the squad will be lost through graduation, the prospects for the coming season are good. The members of the squad were: Glenn Rich- creek, Edward Reynolds, Don Snoke, John Webster, Carl Weston, Harold Law, John Hutton, Harold Tharp, Charles Gilbreath, Robert Dunlap, John Mantonya, and Allen Deuschle. This was Coach Kenneth Rhode's second year as mentor of the Utica team. We feel that his work has been very successful. Of the total scoring for the season, Don Snoke made 104 points and Glenn Riohcreek, cap- tain, made 158. Our pride in these two players was justified through the awards which they received at the All-County Basketball Banquet. Snoke was given honorable mention while Rich- creek was appointed, not only all-county guard, but also captain of the all-county team. We are proud of our team this year, and feel very optimistic in regard to the future. --John Hutton and Harold Tharp. The girls' basketball squad under the coaching of Miss Virginia Young and Mr. Stanley Martin, while only winning two of their games, kept up their spirit and practiced hard all season. The following girls were members of the squad: Betty Davison, Phyllis Clipplnger, Eleanor Robinson, Virginia Berry, Georgia Good, Marjorie Mix, Frieda Matz, Mary Moxley, Joan Hite, Grace Earlewine, Kathleen Koontz, and Betty Coad.--Virginia Berry.
