IN A NEW LIGHT
The finest attributes that man posses
ses are not necessarily conflned to adults
Young people can also display the better
traits Kindness and courtesy a firm be
llef that God s eyes watch over rhls world
describe a group of teen agers in this com
munity And perhaps it could be sald they
are not exceptions but the rule
Last weekend a 16 year old glrl lay
unconscious at Memorial Hospital Per
haps it was because her friends were de
voted to her or that she had been worth
knowing but many teen agers came and
waited anxwusly hoplng they could help
Arleta Eversoll Her sickness was of
short duration and Arleta never knew
those many frtenns were close by. It
was a tragic ending: yet her schoolmates
made this town proud.
During that long wait when doctors do
everything possible and a minute stretches
into an hour, those young friends of Ar-
leta called on the greatest Doctor to lend
His hand. Nearly every hour little groups
of classmates would leave their waiting
place and go to the hospital chapel. There
they would pray for their frlend's recovery.
These young people displayed the same
faith that often ls associated only with
adults
It was refreshing to know too that no
one could have been more serious than
these youngsters Ordmarlly there is
galety when young folks gather This was
not the case at the hospital Somehow
these young friends understood the clr
cumstances Even nurses whose time ls
precious on occasions like this and who
must make every step count noticed this
group of younglsters Never were they in
the way At a l times their actions were
perfect This ls the story of young people
in a different light.
Arleta never knew about her friends
on that last night. Few persons dld. It
was a sad and shocking close to a young
life . Here, ,though, ls something to re-
member in the name of a young girl She
proved that among the coming generation
there are close friendships and they too,
have an abldlng faith 'n God . Because she
lived, the young person has been put ln a
new light.

TEN LITTLE INDIANS
Agatha Christie, the author of both
novel and play versions, has of course
long reigned as one of the most expert
writers of cold-blooded murders. In
"Ten Little Indians" Miss Christie has
a wonderful idea for mystery.
The story tells of how ten people,
all unknown to each other, arrive as
guests for the week-end on a well-
appointed, but isolated island off the
shore of England. Each has come ln
the hope of finding pleasure or gain,
though not quite sure who is his host.
Once there, and unable to escape to
the mainland, each finds that some
past crime is now being held against
mm or ner, and that an unknown and
mysterious avenger will exact pay-
ment. As one after another of the
china "ten little indians" vanishes
from the mantlepiece, one of the
guests pays the death penalty.
This is how it looked at dress rehearsal.
Pictured at lower right is the cast and
production staff enjoying a snack.

From Grandpa Vanderhof down, they are

The different sports which are offered to
the boys help to develop a spirit of good sports-
manship which is necessary in later life as
well as during a game. The teams spend many
long hours of practice to become one body
against another in a game. As most of the out-
siders hear about a school through their sports
they are considered the advertisers of the

a battle between Winfield and Ark City. The
Bulldogs fairly trounced the Vikings as they
beat them 43-0. The Bulldogs then traveled
to Wichita West where they were beaten 21-0.
The team had also lost to Wichita North the
week before. Next came the Wellington Cru-
saders who had not been able to score against
Ark City in the two previous games, but the,
found the needed breaks and won 20-14. This
left the Bulldogs with a 1-3 record. After they
lost to Wellington the fired-up Bulldogs found

crowned the 1956 Football
queen. Barbara Lemert and
jamie White were her attend
ants. The queen and her at-
tendants were chosen by the
whole student body from ten
girls who were put up by the
football team .
The ten girls were voted
by the student body, and the
top three were voted upon
againg and not until Mary jo
was CFOWILCG by bill godfrey,
did the students know wno
was to reign over the 1955
football season.
The three girls were
driven onto the field in con-
vertibles by their escorts
and led to the center of the
field . The drill team
marched onto the field and
formed a large AC, with
the help of the band who
formed a football around
the whole group and played
the school song to the queen.
That evening a home-
coming dance was given in
her honor and it was dec-
orated to the fullest extent
giving an air of royalty to
the dance .
