B. 0 Nov. 26 When school opened in the fall of 1936, there were several lettermen back from the preceding year. They were James Sanford, Harry Wilson, Claris Myers, Don Pelkey, and Wayne Lyon. They were seniors on the squad, and they all played good games during the year. Harry Wilson was the captain of the team. There will be more lettermen back next year, so the prospects for a successful season are very promising. Those who will return are James Arnold, Claris Smith, Jesse Hagadorn, Leo Atkisson, Gale Neiswanger, Ray Reilly, Ira Stone, and Alfred Crouth. With these eight experienced players who will serve as the nucleus, and with other up-and-coming players to complete the squad, the coach expects to have a winning team next year.

Things the boys will remember— In the Ansley game, the ball was carried over the goal twice—the score was still 0-0! Cecil Hutt always played his best when he was mad. When Jim Arnold wasn't actually playing on the field, he was playing the game on the bench—he was always just as tired when the game was over. At Gothenburg—they tried to stand up on the slick grass so they wouldn't be walked on! Callaway game—Tub Dean nearly froze to death while sitting on the bench. At the Ansley game when Gale did too much warming up and threw his knee out of place—Leo Atkisson, a freshman, took his place and made his letter. Before the Lexington game, the Pep Club fixed both teams a big feed in the gym—they blamed the Pep Club when they lost the game. Ravenna game—everyone was surprised about the score—but not nearly as much as they were! Hemp Wilson always had a sore right hand after each game from patting the kids on the back. Ray Reilly, Junior Tackle. A new man who handled his 185 lbs. like a veteran. Ray always spent a large amount of time in the opponents’ backfield. Claris Smith, Sophomore Kirk is an aggressive little sophomore who had a habit of staying on his feet regardless of the interference. He received his first big test against the Swedes.” Eddie Williams, Senior Was probably the sharpest tackier on our entire squad. He was a good broken field runner and blocked well. James Sanford, Senior A fast charging guard. Came out fast on leading interference. Ira Stone, Junior Captain-elect. He played his position like a veteran and was a deadly blocker when in the interference. A fast charger on defense. Ike also developed a very good toe and his kicking kept our opponents at bay most of the time. Hubert Fox, Senior Was an excellent manager and took care of the squad’s needs at all times.
