ORCHIDS TO UNDERCLASSMEN Finding it impossible to present orchids to underclassmen because of present conditions, we must be content with obtaining what we may. Fewer flowers of all kinds are in existence this year, for so many gardens have been converted into Victory vegetable gardens. We found it necessary to go into our own wilds in search of spring flowers. Being a time for all-out patriotism, we decided that bouquets of red, white, and blue would be in order. The blue and white were easily recognized by white dotted on a blanket of blue as in the flag. Upon examining the phenomenon more closely, they proved to be boys and girls against deep velvet blue violets. We felt well pleased with our success so far. However, no one could direct our searching party to the source of the missing red. Finally, only by accident, we chanced upon a bed of delicate red lilies. They were of rare beauty and blended well with our bouquet. Our searching ended, we returned home. May they symbolize our aim of Victory and ever- lasting freedom. To the following who have proved to be outstanding in some of the little things which make strong American youths, may we present our flowers: T0 Frederick McDonald Harold Townsend Helen Carl Betty Cortright Ellyn Beystrum Jennett, Doxey Bonnie Brandstetter Morris Hill Ella Fisher Beatrice Bush Maxine Cooper Milo Coldren Charleen Cappon Sally Goodyear Gretchen Vandervoort Patty Tyler Bob Stowell Esther Ragla Merilyn Zuttermeister F011 Active participation in curricular activities Country boy's ability to play basketball Activity in dramatics.

FOOTBALL The Hastings football squad had a very successful season under the leadership of Coach Goodell and Captain Kelly. The Saxons scored 138 points against their oppon- ents 13 which speaks well for the Saxon line and proves that they were one of the best class B teams in the state. Lettermen back this season were: Kelly, Stamm, Garrison, Wilcox, Goggins, Banash, B. Thomas, M. Thomas, Ottosen, Myers and John Coleman. The first game of the season was against Lowell September 18 at the fairgrounds. Hastings' smashing attack brought them twice within a few feet of the goal line in the first half. A series of fumbles gave Lowell possession of the ball on the Hastings 30 yard line, and from there a long pass allowed them to score. The try for extra point was good. During the last quarter the Blue and Gold climaxed a 60 yard drive with a pass from Wilcox to Coleman for the touchdown. The Saxons outgained their opponents by CContinued on next page.J
