The pieces may seem hopelessly jumbled at first, and it takes real concentration to fit the parts together Within the border, but seeing a vivid picture completed is the reward for your efforts. ' VVorking a puzzle is like combining the parts that make up Freeport High School. Ommmfaaadezeemdnee zdedudmagzdepygyle A freshman enters F.H.S. and in a few Weeks he is familiar with the campus and buildings of the school . . . he has put together a border. Then he examines and experiments with the most important inside pieces . . . the people. THE KEY 5-ngezewd and M4554 pa Plscz may 5 E . - a ,.v, J 1 A second-year man seeshis way through the maze and begins to show more lively interest in cluhs and activities. He fits the most appealing activities pieces into his own puzzle. A junior realizes that study links the assembled' sections, so he divides his energy between class work and extra-curricular projects. 75e,e6az'cne1!46e4fafzmcw wwmgwmwmae.

Hank, the Yankee, accidentally got an electric shock and found himself a prisoner of Sir Sagramore, who led him before the court of King Arthur. He was condemned to death, but Ending an eclipse listed in his almanac for the date of his planned execution, he staged a mir- aclev and blacked out the sun. After becoming buddies with Art,,' Hank set out to make the regime more ef- ficient. He controlled the castle through a switchboard, while pages rode about on Have ye a snarl? motor scooters. Merlin, a politician of the old school, objected to the new dealv and tried to take the government by force. However, Sir Boss, the Yankee, came to King Artis rescue in the nick of time by helicopter. Then Hank regained conscious- ness, and we were back in the twentieth century.

Again this spring they fiddled at the May Festival, playing music in a lighter mood. A more informal concert Was the before-Christ- mas assembly at which students sang carols accompanied by the orchestra. Howard Weber-now a full-fledged member of the Whipcrackers' Union-performed as guest ar- tist on the whips. Long hours of sectional and full rehearsals go into the preparation of these concerts- rehearsals from the first day of school to the last. But busy as they are, orchestra members Hnd time for extra projectsg they have formed several small groups-trios, quartettes, and other ensembles-which often play at churches and adult meetings around town. A woodwind quintet is almost traditional at F.H.S. From the ranks of this organization also come the theatre orchestras which play appropriate music at our junior and senior plays. 70 PERSONNEL Dif9Ct0r ..................................................

The Green Mountain boys, song and the ditty about the mule were among the favorite songs from this wild and Wooly musical comedy, presented by the A Cappella in March of '49. The proceeds of this financially successful production were used to transport the entire group to Springfield in May for the state music contest, in which the group received a rating of second. The A Cappellais first big engagement this year was their Christmas concert, presented jointly with the orchestra at the Consistory Auditorium. The final thrilling number, Rex Cloriaef' sung here for the first time, climaxed a fine program of holiday music. The singers laid aside their black robes in the spring to appear in colorful formal attire at the annual May Festival. Melodies in a light mood with the Spirit of Musici' by Bennett, as the finale, highlighted the per- formance. Row l: S. Garnhart, C. Dreycr, R. Smith, D. Dixon, P. Chambers, C. Wisdom, R. Paulson, M.

There they sang the most difficult pieces of the double program of music which they had been preparing since late winter for the May Festival and this af- fair. The intricate rhythm of the music of the Dubuque gathering was a challenge to these singers, ability, but they gave a commendable performance. This festival offered for the first time an op- portunity for the A Cappella to perform with fine singers from two other schools, it also gave them the experience of working under the well-known music educator David Foltz, of the University of Nebraska, receiving his criticism and commendations, and learning his interpretation.

Twenty- iive cents is your ticket and passport for the South Paciiic. Vie reached the balmv South Pacific is- lands on February 13th. The natives--of Free- port-were in the midst of their annual car- nival season. As We wandered down among the shelter- ing palms, numerous activities claimed our interest and attention. One of the first inci- dents of note was the baby show. The cutest young juveniles of the tribe competed for prizes and fame. Then older members of the clan had a fashion review, exhibiting the lat- est styles at la Freeport, South Pacific. The lavish linery of these teen-agers took our breath away, so we stopped to refresh our- selves. The natives, favorite beverage boast- ed the exotic name of Coca Cola. Candies, cookies, and other such items continued to drain our supply of travelers, checks. Some Freeporters were engaged in various games of chance, involving the use of rings and balls. Our luck being none too good, we strolled over to the fish-pond, a kind of glori- fied grab-bag. A glamorous goddess, Ann Bihl, reigned as the Queen of Beauty. Joanne Mead and her consort, Bob Pashley, were crowned, in the name of all their subjects, as King and Queen of the carnival. NVhile the orchestra played haunting melo- dies, we left the good inhabitants of Freeport dancing the romantic hours away. So we said aloha to South Pacific, the Freeport High School Carnival of 1950.

This year the annual faculty-womenis tea was held December 7, the mother-daughter tea, December 9. For both functions, the girls drew on skills they learned in class and adorned the table with the traditional circular cookie tree, Hlled with delicious homemade cookies. The new silver service, purchased with the profits of last year's cookies and fruit cake sales, was also displayed. As an outside project, the girls made Christmas cookies for the County Home. Another meeting was devoted to a discus- sion of possible vocations in home economics, led by Miss Lillian Matthiesen, adviser. Sev- eral outside speakers came also, including Miss Dorothy Koelling of the Y.W.C.A., who told of her summer experience in Europe.

They started with Homecoming in October, complete with queen, parade, and pep rally, with Sue Churchill and Iohn Parson acting as co-chairmen. Combining efforts with the Let- termen's Club, they made a large sportsman- ship sign and hung it high on the west wall of the gym as a reminder to the basketball fans. At Christmas time the council carried out two projects: first, they purchased durable or- naments and decorated a beautiful Christmas tree, placing it in the front hall of the school, and second, on December 27, they sponsored the Frozen Fantasy, a semi-formal dance.

Since many of the girls were seniors this year, a talk about college was very helpful. Besides these informative programs, they also have their share of fun. In the fall, a hay- ride afforded them an evening of fun, and during the football and basketball seasons they sponsored dances in the cafeteria. The Hang- ing of the Creensf' which included the young- er Y-teen clubs too, is the decoration of the Y.W.C.A. at Christmas. However, it Wasnit all play and no Work for the Tri-Y gals. At Christmas, Hershey bars were sent to Europe by the combined clubs through CARE. Also, the girls con- tributed canned goods and bought a turkey with money from their treasury to make a Christmas basket for a needy family in Free- port. Picture 1: In make-up: A. Staas. L.

Members lounged informally to listen to such speakers as Bert Snow, a local lawyer, who talked on the F.B.I., and Joe Cullinane, WFIS sports announcer, who gave information about his Held of in- terest. Dick Eckert, Hi-Y member, showed slide-pictures he took in Europe. Then there were the fun-nitesv, Hi-Y'ers played in the YD gym and swam in the pool. They also sponsored a winter dance in the F .H.S. cafeteria and two splash parties at the uY,, Delegates were sent to Y, conferences to pick up pointers for improving the club. The club is sending two boys to camp for two weeks in the summer of '50. Membership is limited to twenty-four boys a year. Each new candidate must be nominated, and then elected by the club either in the fall or in the spring. Near the end of this year, the seniors in the club and Harry Kinert, their adviser, plotted a grueling initiation, which took place on an ovemight trip to the White Pines. Picture 1: D. Gusloff, B.

Freeport Highis chapter of the Future Farmers of America is only a very small part of a vast organization made up of more than 280,000 Vocational Agriculture students. Every year our chapter enters many of the contests in Section One. This area consists of Stephenson, Ogle, jo Daviess, and Winnebago counties. There are eighteen schools in Sec- tion One vvhich compete against each other in contests. These contests include grain and poultry judging, soil conservation, public speaking and parliamentary procedure. The members learn how to judge different kinds of livestock, such as pigs, beef cattle and dairy cattle. Each year, every member carries on a super- vised farming program, raising livestock and grain. This past year the members of the chapter earned a total of 310,121.49 through their labor and management activities. They raised a total of 236 head of livestock and 80 acres of grain. The F .F.A.,ers took many field trips to all parts of the state, looking forward especially to the annual excursion to the Chicago Live- stock' Show, where the countryis best livestock is put on exhibition and later judged.

Koeller members went to VVaterloo, Iowa, to visit the National Dairy Cattle Congress. They also visited some of the large farms in the Freeport area to get first-hand information on how modern farms are operated. Each year, chap- ter representatives attend the state F.F.A. convention, and the club enters a written pro- gram in the national contest annually. The development of agricultural leadership, making American farmers the best in the world, co-operation, and citizenship are the principal goals of the Future Farmers of America. For first-degree membership in the club, which teaches all the modern and scientiiic methods of farming, the requirements are: en- rollment i11 vocational agriculture, a deiinite plan for carrying out a supervised farm proj- ect, and familiarity with the purposes of the F.F.A. and its program of work. The pros- pective member also has to memorize the creed of the club and must be voted in by the members. All new F.F.Afers are initiated. In addition to all of its other activities, the Freeport chapter, under the direction of Vern- on Bokemeier, saw many films illustrating the latest farming methods and has presented several programs over station WFRL.

Yet, only students with the best records are able to pass the qualifications set up by the national board. Five per cent of the junior class and ten per cent of the seniors are chosen on the merits of scholarship, character, leadership, and service. This choice is made first by teachers, and then a faculty council makes the final decisions. Picture 1: B. High, S. Matthews, T. Madden, R. Polhill, I. Madden Picture 2: I. Koym, D. Kaiser, J.

This year's members were in- itiated at the annual spring picnic in 1949. Attorney Everett Laughlin spoke to the Philos at one meeting. At another, the varsity de- baters discussed the national high school question. The students, knowledge increased as they studied classic literature, guided by Mrs. Gerald VVarren, club adviser. The spring picnic was enjoyed especially by the seniors, since it was the last meeting they attended. Picture 1: Row 1: Nladden, D. Kaiser, T. Mad- den, lt. Eichmcicr, S. Granncr, N.

VVith the Hams leading 6 to 0, Don Fogel scored, catch- ing a pass from Ben Dorsey, followed by a 30-yard race to pay dirt by Mel johnson. Fritz Aldridge climaxed the Pretzel touchdown parade by going over after receiving a pass from lohnson. After dropping a 40 to 7 decision at Moline, Freeport was edged by LaSalle-Peru 20 to 12. Dorsey aerialed to Fogel, who dashed 65 yards for one counter, and jerry Bender plunged the other. XfVhen the Pretzels received the opening kick-off in the NVest Rockford game, they marched 80 yards to score. VVest came back strong to win 41 to 6, History repeated itself with .Bill Spahn catching a Dorsey pass in the end zone as Freeport drew first blood against East Aurora. Baring their claws the second half, the Tom- cats rolled to a 37 to 6 triumph. lt was a ball game the first half as Freeport trailed 13 to 6. However, the East High of- fense started to click after the intermission and couldnit be stopped for three touchdowns to the Pretzelis none in the third and fourth quarters. The following Friday the Pretz nipped East Rockford 7 to G in a driving rain that made the field a sea of mud. Behind some brilliant downfield blocking, Mel johnson scampered 72 yards for the winning touchdown. Mel then plunged the all-important extra point. lt was a typical Freeport-East Rockford clash, hard fought all the way to the final gun. The Rabs scored late in the first half. Gerry Studebaker and Bender converged to block the conversion. The importance of that blocked kick showed up later in the game and proved to be the margin of victory.

Johnson uncorked a 38-yard run for the tying touchdown. Halftime ceremonies honored F reeport,s mythical national prep football champions of 1924. Pat Holmes, Pretzel grid mentor of that era, along with several team members, were presented to the homecoming crowd. At Elgin, Freeport was topped 38 to 12. Dorsey passed to Fogel and Roland Harbach for the two scorers. Aldridge kicked a boom- ing 76-yard punt. It was just a case of too much Dick Pun- jabv Simonson, the Maroons' 6-6, 250 pound all-state fullback, who powered his way for three touchdowns. Ottawa, out-gamed in statistics, had the best scoreboard total as they won 13 to 6. The Pretzel forward wall held Pirate backs to 32 yards rushing, only to have their efforts ruined by faulty pass defense that accounted for both Ottawa touchdowns. The season's wind-up saw West Aurora, conference champion, take a 37 to 14 decision. Tom Williams ran 77 yards for one touch- down, while Bender tossed to Aldridge for the second tally. DeWayne Harbach, sidelined most of the season by an ankle injury, turned in great defensive play. Wayner Ronnie Iack Automatic 102 Dick Hack Butter Bob Willie Pearshape Wayneris bruising tackles jolted the Hawks' speedy backs no end. The Pretzels finished the campaign with a record of 2 victories, 7 defeats, and 1 tie.

In the first game of the season, the Pretzel- ettes showed surprisingly good form with their initial 12-6 win over Dubuque. Lebrecht and Luedeking, Freeportis mighty mites, both looked impressive. Unquestionably outelass- ed by a bigger, faster Beloit team, the sophs were crushed 40-6. On the following Friday, Freeport made the Associated Press column by virtue of their second consecutive 40-6 defeat, this time at the hands of LaSalle-Peruis Incas. The Incas later went on to win the fresh-soph confer- ence. The following week, after holding West Rockfordis Braves scoreless during the first half, the locals bowed out to the Braves 27-0. East Aurora, capitalizing on the end sweep, handed Joes boys their fourth defeat. Midway in the fourth quarter VVes Luede- king plunged the lone Pretzelette score. The statistics showed room for improvement in rushing defense as the Pretzelettes gave up 339 yards. VVith Thomas VVilliams, newly acquired tail-back, running wild, the junior Pretz de- feated East Roekford's sophs for their first Big 8 victory. Against Ioliet in the home- coming contest, the mLittle Pretzv were out- run by a determined Joliet squad 39-12. On the next weekend, the team ventured to Elgin where the Elgin Ponies were still wait- ing for their first victory. The extreme cold plus the loss of Tom Williams to the varsity ranks resulted in a 19-0 Freeport loss. In the first Thursday game in F .H.S. grid history, the Pretzelettes came close in losing to a stubborn Ottawa team 14-6. Freeport's lone score came when jim Lebrecht tossed .1 3 Leggol Look what I brung homely Famous Pretz ,24 v-1 O a screen pass to Van Bluemel, the play netting 66 yards. This, incidentally, was the final game for Al Calderon, outstanding soph guard. It was the closest game the Freeport under- class eleven lost all year. The Spudichmen's pass defense left little to be desired as they held the Bucs to one completed aerial. In the final game of the year, the Pretzel- ettes were trampled by a rough and ready West Aurora team 34-6. The VVest Aurora clan jumped into an early lead, 20-0 in the first period. Freeport launched a 63-yard touchdown drive in the second period. Harwood Fenner, usually playing tackle, did a good share of ground-gaining from a short punt formation. F reeport's top scorer for the season was Wes Luedeking with 24 points. He was closely followed by Van Bluemel, who came up with 20 points. At a post-season assembly, Coach Spudich presented letters to twenty of his football as- pirants. The captainis star was awarded to Al- bert Calderon, who was unanimously elect- ed to this honorary position by his team-mates after the final game of the year. Although most of the twenty letter winners were sophomores, letters were also awarded to the following frosh: Al Stewart, who ex- hibited some fine football at end, Danny Som- mers, who alternated at the left half position throughout most of the season, and Wes Luedeking, who played first string fullback through the entire season. 4 4 l jimmy Hardwood Van Satch Don Al Big T Whitey Bump Wes 106 Although Freeport's frosh-soph entry land- MANAGERS ed af the bottom of the Big 8 pile' 1068 boys Unsung heroes in any sport are the managers, played some good ball' They were hampered who sometimes incur the wrath of both play- throughout the Season by lack of Offenswe ers and coach when the called-for equipment drwe' is not on hand at the right time. h .

F reeport's hopes for an undefeated season were shattered early. Their first defeat came at the hands of DeKalb.

Against Joliet, McKinley Davis again hit his stride and put 26 counters through the hoop to lead the Freeport offensive. Pitted against VVest Rockford in the game of foulsf Freeport was ahead in personals but on the short end of the score.

After breezing over Byron in the season,s opener, the Pretzelettes dropped five in a row before notching a 46 to 36 triumph at the ex- pense of East Aurora. Highly outclassed by a smooth Zion-Benton junior varsity club, Freeportis sophs were van- quished 42 to 24. A week of painstaking Bow l D McLmn A Stewart P Lindfors W. Luedeking, B. Klaus, R.

Encountering some of the state,s toughest competition week after week, Freeport High's '49 track squad came through with a success- ful campaign in their cinder show. Starting strongly, the Pretzels defeated a group of the area,s smaller schools. After com- peting in the West Madison Relays, Freeport gained an impressive victory over East Rock- ford. Our thinclads racked up eight first places as they crushed the Rabs 66V2 to 461!2. DeWayne Harbach tossed the shot for the best competitive distance of the year with a heave of 43 feet 10 inches. Duane Boos and Lloyd Smith scored vic- tories as Freeport placed fourth in the Clinton Gateway Classic. D. Mclloin How 1: T. Wfilliams, D. Boos, R. Carr, I. Parson, D. Morris, J. Rockow, M.

At the East Rockford Relays, Coach Howard VVeber,s charges finished 5th in a perennially strong field of sixteen schools. Clocked at 3:36.1, the mile relay team fStudebaker, They- iot, Lawbaugh, and Boosj clipped thirteen seconds off the F.H.S. record. Lloyd Smith won both hurdle races and broke the Dubuque field record of streaking over the highs in 15.3 at the Dubuque tri- angular. Iohn Lawbaugh Won the 880-yard run. The district meetwas a heartbreaker for Freeport, as they missed the title by the slim margin of a half-point. It was the closest finish in district history, the first five teams were but 4 points apart. Outstanding performances by Boos, Lloyd Smith, and Stan Altenbern qualified them for the State Meet. At Champaign Lloyd Smith made the low hurdles semi-finals and Altenbern high- jumped 5 feet 8 inches. Duane Boos went on to the final heats, where he placed fifth among lllinois' best quarter-milers, Beloitis powerhouse, undefeated in dual meets all year, held the upper hand in their tilt with the Pretzels. Boos turned in a stand- out performance in his 440-yard run duel with Shelby Bandy, the WVisconsin quarter- mile champion. Boos nipped Bandy at the tape in 51.1, thus breaking the Freeport High record. Lloyd Smith, Jerry Bangasser and Bill Spalm Hnished in that order as F.H.S. swept the low hurdles. Lloyd finished the heat in 22.9, establishing another school record. The Big 8 meet at Elgin saw Smitty take top honors in both the high and low hurdles as Freeport placed fifth with 21 9X 20 points. .adm VVhy, there's Harry Kincrt!

All forty-five team mem- bers were eligible to compete. The five events are the half-mile, shot put, high and broad jump, and the 100-yard dash. Duane Boos won a total of 2,816Vz points and received the gold medal award. Bill Spahn had 2,782 points to receive a bronze award. The next ten places included: John Lawbaugh, 2399, Jim Hartman, 2234, jerry Bangasser, 2204, Hod Fritz, 2143, Dick McGill, 2023, Dewey Smith, 2019, Iim Rockow, 1030, DeWayne Harbach, 10395 Dick Shouer, 1776V2, and Charles Bonvillain, 1619. The gold medal winner proved his ability as he ran his way to victory. Duane broke his own quarter-mile rec- ord in almost every race. Coach Weber best expressed it when he said, It will in all probability be another twenty years before anyone even challenges Duanels 440-yard run time of 51.1.,' He was elected team captain by the squad members. At the top of the heap in the matter of points scored was Lloyd Smith, one of Freeport High,s all-time hurdle greats, who accumulated a total of 9778 points. Lloyd amassed more hurdle points than anyone else in the school,s history. His hustle and determination were an in- spiration to the team. Herb Hodges, Beloit College track mentor who led his team to the conference title, awarded Lloyd Smith the Bill Young Memorial trophy at the annual track banquet. Other consistent scorers were: Boos, 873fs, Altenbern, 49V2, Lawbaugh, 31, and DeWayne Harbach, 24 points. The re- maining varsity lettermen included Ierry Bangasser, Dewey Smith, Jim Hartman, Bill Spahn, Merrill Theviot, and Jerry Studebaker. Harlan Fritz and Charles Bonvillain won frosh-soph letters and showed promise to be good material for the ,50 season. The team managers were Martin Kast- en and Darrell Mellom. Here are the remaining best competi- tive marks for the year: Lloyd Smith, 100-yard dash, 10.5 sec. John Lawbaugh, 880-yarcl run, 2 min. 7.4 sec. Duane Boos, 220-yard run, 23.5 sec.

The Pretzels rebounded from their opening game loss to East Rockford to hand Winslow a 2 to 0 whitewashing, jim Hill pitching a neat two-hitter. Gary Sarles slammed a home run for Freeportis first tally. Hill scattered five hits as St. Thomas of Rockford was handed a 9 to 4 defeat. After dropping close decisions to West Rockford and Barrington, Coach joe Spudich's nine moved back on the victory trail, edging Belvidere in a 1 to 0 pitchers' duel, behind the brilliant four-hit throwing of Hill. Iohn Adams crossed the plate for the game's lone run. Freeport Higlfs first attempt at night base- ball proved disastrous as LaSalle-Peru blanked the Pretz 10 to 0. Gaining revenge for an early season defeat, St. Thomas topped the Spudichmen 9 to 1. Returning to their winning ways, Freeport nipped a highly-regarded Dundee nine 5 to 4. The hard-hitting Cardinals tried to enact a comeback in the last inning. However, win- ning pitcher Ronnie Krueger struck out the side to end the threat. Iohn Adams led the winners at bat with three hits, while Sarles clouted a triple for the longest blow of the day. Bullet Benv at bat!

Hill fanned 14, giving up eight hits. + l In one of the best fielding games of the year, Aquin's Bulldogs eliminated Ioe Spudich's boys from further tournament play 3 to 1. Tom Kienle's Aquinites made four hits in the first and second innings to account for all three runs. One of the campaignis most exciting games had the Pretzels rallying in the last inning to down East Rockford 11 to 10 for the seasonis finale. Coach Spudich's club did it the hard way, coming up from 10 runs behind. Trail- ing 10 to 0 at the end of three and one-half innings, Freeport staged a six-run uprising in the last of the fourth, and two runs in each of the Hfth and sixth innings, knotting the score at 10 all. Then Hill Won his own game in the last of the seventh by sending a line drive to left field, bringing Joe Hannah in from third base.

By vote of the squad members, Gary Sarles was elected captain of the 1950 team. 123 f I N., Q. The golf squad, under the able coaching of Boyd Pappy Garns, enjoyed a successful season. Even though they did not win 0. ma- jority of their contests, they scored many points throughout the season, which was an improvement over the past several years. Coach Garns greeted twenty-three prospect- ive candidates, but by the time the first match rolled around, this number was reduced al- most to half. Throughout the season, the Pretzel links- men engaged in eight ten-man meets, winning but one. Their lone victory came at the ex- pense of a determined Sterling squad, in which every Pretz scored points. Because of lack of funds, the Freeport team did not participate in either the district or the Big 8 golf meets. Freeport was hampered also by a lack of returning lettermeng Coach Garns was forced to mold a squad from an entirely new group of boys. At the spring athletic assembly, Garns awarded letters to the following boys: Rex Zier, Jerry Garns, Paul Lindfors, Red Paulson, Don MacKenzie, Eldon Martyn, and Doug Smith. Early in the 1950 campaign Paul Lindfors joined the charmed circle of Pretzel linksmen who carded a hole in one. Top R Zier, P. Lindfors Top: J. Scitz, R. Maack, R. Whitcomb Lower D. Smith, B.

Sweeping all seven matches, F.H.S.,s tennis team handed Dixon a 7 to 0 shut-out for the Pretzelis in- itial win of the season. Coach Teddy,' Clarno's raqueteers recov- ered from a loss to highly-rated Monroe, top- ping Sterling 5 to 2. Winning seven out of ten singles and two of three doubles, the Pretz trimmed West Rockford,s Warriors 9 to 4. Freeport netmen placed fifth, competing in the district. Dixon and VVest Rockford fell for the second time as Clarnois crew repeated earlier triumphs. Then, smarting from a loss to district cham- pion E-Rabs, Freeport showed their best form of the season to nip a strong Beloit club 4 to 3. Reaching their peak at Aurora, the boys came Within one match of the Big 8 champion- ship. The entire team qualified for the semi- finals. Freeport's doubles combination, Bob Popp and Daryl Burns, remained undefeated until the last match. East Rockford won the Conference title with seven points, followed closely by Freeport with six. Letters were awarded to Bob Popp, Dave Womelsdorf, Bill Brokhausen, Daryl Burns, Hal Horstmeyer, and Gene Schmitt. Ftp: B. Brokhausen, D. Burns, H. Horstmeycr, B. Popp, D. Top: D. VVo1nelsdorf, I-I.

Clarno Williams Although still playing a minor role in the F.H.S. athletic program, intramural sports have made very promising progress during the past year. Activities began with the open- ing of school in the fall. 7 Sports included in the autumn program were basketball, baseball, touch football, vol- leyball, and ping-pong. Between thirty and forty boys attended these sessions held after school under the direction of C. C. Clarno. Late in November, when the basketball squads began to use the gym after school, in- tramural was forced into the background. Then Athletic Director Merritt Allen organized a noon-hour basketball schedule which in- cluded approximately sixteen teams, eight in the junior-senior league, and eight in the frosh-soph loop. Team membership was open to anyone desiring to play basketball during the sixth period. The teams Were power-packed. In fact, it was decided that touchdowns would have been a more appropriate medium of scoring than baskets, especially for the Fogel Five and Midthun Maulers.
