J. Solt Champions Again! The outlook for a successful season was extremely dim when Mr. Castor issued his first call for candidates on August 20, 1953. Only two regulars, Art Houdeshell, end, and Jack Babcock, fullback, were left from last years team. The season opened with our annual preview game at Findlay with Ada High School. After battling fiercely for two eight minute periods. The score was 0 to 0. North Baltimore opened our regular schedule at Arlington on Septem- ber 18. The game was a thriller with the Red Devils coming out on top 15 to 13. The Hancock Little Eight League opened the next week with Arlington entertaining Van Buren. The boys started rolling in the first quarter and won 25 to 0. The next game was at McComb and both teams were primed for battle. A narrow 7 to 6 victory kept the Red Devils in the victory road. John Fahl intercepted a pass on the opponent's 45 and went over unscratched. The following week Arcadia invaded the lair of the Red Devils and turn- ed back 38 to 0. Eldon Smith returned fully recovered of a leg injury. Liberty was next on the schedule and gave the locals quite a battle be- fore subduing 19 to 7. Babcock, regular fullback, came back into action in this game. The big game of the season as usual was with our neighbors, Cory-Raw- son. The Hornets had been running up high scores on their opponents and were the favorites to down the Red Devils. The teams battled up and down the gridiron for three scoreless quarters. The fourth quarter supplied the fire- works with Arlington scoring 18 points to 7 for the Hornets. It was an upset to put it mildly. Babcock, Houser, and Eldon Smith scored the T.D .'s. Vanlue came to A rlington the following Friday and went away with a 19 to 0 defeat. Art Houdeshell played an outstanding defensive game. The season closed with a triumph over Mt. Blanchard who played a bet- ter game than the score indicated. Houser snagged a pass in the end zone while John Fahl caught two passes and run for T.D.'s. The score was 20 to 6. Among the seniors who closed their careers with this game were, Wayne Reichley and Allen Alge who saw a lot of service during the season. We the graduating seniors of the 1953 football team, wish to thank Mr. Castor for all his time and patience he put forth in enabling us to win our 10th Championship in 13 years. Mr. Castor, we salute you.

Houser's 10. Final score A.H.S. 65 Hopewell-Louden 57. Although we had some knowledge of this next team, we were unable to turn the tide on them on their own court. Score A.H.S. 40 Liberty 60. Still recovering from our loss to Liberty, we played host to Vanlue, who was undefeated, and they remained undefeated. The following week we attempted to get revenge on our losses but failed against McComb. A. Houdeshell and M. Steinman connected with 14 and 11 points respectively. Score A.H.S. 45 McComb 58. Having taken two weeks off to rest up a bit, we played Cory-Rawson on the eighth of Jan. but was once more conquered but not until P. D. Smith had racked up 20 points. Score A.H.S. 57 Cory-Rawson 68. Our next engagement required us to report at Dunkirk, to tangle with Hardin-Northern in which we were once more defeated in a close game.

Page 46 WHO'S WHO IN THE NEWS " NEW YORK DAILY TIMES" Reporter-Nancy McKinley Now for the latest head-line news, brought to you straight from the wires of the New York Daily Time's. Presses were running until the wee hours of the morning to bring you this up to date news. Of course you've heard of the election returns, and what returns! The lst lady ever to become president of the United States is just as excited as can be. Miss Marlene Traucht, in her acceptance speech, says she owes it all to her Vice President, Arthur Houdeshell's, campaign. Audrey Arrington, at tops in CBS Television, now is the emcee of her own show, "It's a Joy to Live ." Last week her guest was Arlene Pifer, fa- mous hair designer. Next week her guest will be Barbara Cook, world cham- pion skier. Miss Vivian Freed, horti-culturist, has just produced the 1st rosum, a flower created by joining the crysanthamum and a rose. It is reported to be very good for weddings. The wedding of the year was held in a small town in Ohio, named Ar- lington. It was a plush affair as the bride, Lucille Stahl, joined her bride- groom in matrimony . As she threw her boquet, the lucky recipiant was Mar- na Romick, the maid of honor. It seems that Jack Babcock, philanthropist, went to the moon, "To get away from it all." While there, he got furiously sick from eating green che- ese. Allen Alge, ace pilot, while on an exploring trip to the moon, found him and brought him back to earth. He is now being treated by the world fa- mous surgeon, Robert George Houser. The doctor says there is recovery in sight. Touring night spots all over the country, the ' 'Cool Muscians", are ma- king outgwell. Its success is owed to its members: Ronald Beach, guitarist: Nancy Butte, singer, and Wayne Riechley, dancer. Miss Normajean Rettig, metropolitan opera star, was just announced the best dressed woman of the United States. She is also rumored to be the richest. Miss Phyllis Ackerman, concert pianist, has just written a new opera called, "Dandelia". While recently on a concert tour, in Australia, it is be- lieved that Miss Ackerman met a man who has won her affections. Eldon Smith, western rancher, is selling his last herd of Bison. It seems he is restocking his ranch with goats .The buyer of the Bison is the businos executive, John Fahl. He plans on making Bison coats, and selling them at a reduced rate. His business manager will be Bob Myers. Richard Wolford recently bought a factory for making bee-bee guns. He figures he'll make a killing! Miss Mary Ann Schaller was acquitted of the crime she was recentlv accused of. This is surprising, for Isabel Latham, chief mistress of the Su-- preme Court, was very much against it. It seems Miss Schalleris crime was that of running over the President's cat. Page 46 CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of 1954, of Arlington High School, and the state of Ohio, being of sound mind and body, do make and declare this,our last will and testament.
