SENIURS HOB KELLER - President PEGGY SELLERS Vice President CELESTE KNVE - Secretary FRANCES CORNICLIIYS Treasurer 5 Now that our career as high school students is over. we can sit back and think of the many joys. embarrussnients. and unpleasant happenings that occurred during these four years. As freshmen, we set ont to bring fame and honor to Lawrence- burg High, We were 102 in number and had definitely decided that we would leave a superb record on the annals of the school. Tragedy and Catastrophe stalked us that year, for we were no sooner becoming accustomed to high school routine than we were stricken with sorrow by the untimely death of our beloved music teacher, Miss Margaret Wells. After recovering from this blow, we were forced to take a mid- semester vacation because the Beautiful Ohio which, having remain- ed peacefully within her banks for a number of years, decided to wash our little town off the map. It didn't succeed, so in March, after a rather damp recess we returned to school. A few members of our class elected to transfer to another school for the remainder of their first school year, but the greater part re- turned and toward the end of June we were able to close the records of our freshman year. During our sophomore year we moved into our new school build- ing, L. C. H. S., which boasts of being one of the most up-to-date institutions of learning in the state. The long corridors and spacious rooms were quite a contrast to the crowded conditions of the old building . Too, a school band was organized. The Tigers won the sectional tournament that year, and they went to the regional in a blaze of glory, but returned the victim of e. better team. SENIURS NATALIE BLACKBURN G. A.

The halls were lined with many chat- tering students happily reminiscing on the cheerful and enjoyable times they had had during their summer vacation. Our class, however, had more important affairs to dis- cuss. If we are to entertain the Seniors at the end of the school year, much hard work and a great deal of planning will be necessary. SEPTEMBER 15. FRIDAY Dear Diary: Our class is organized! This morning we met in the school library to elect officers. After the candidates had been chosen, the ballots were passed out and each member of the class voted for his worthy candidate. The result of this important voting was the election of Earl Kittle as President, Bill Cook as Vice President, Evelyn Goyert as Sec- retary, and Nathalie Warneford as Treasurer. Jerry Seitz and Noah Albright were elected to represent us on the Intra-Mural Board. We Juniors are now ready to start our great campaign. OCTOBER IJ. FRIDAY Dear Diary: We have finally launched our big program. Tonight, we sponsored a Junior Jinx Jig in the high school gym. It was the first dance of the school year. The clever decorations consisted of all sorts of superstitious sayings and signs to suit the day of Friday 13. Umbrellas of various colors were used as the main decorative theme, while a step-ladder placed before the entrance made it necessary for all who wished to enter to walk beneath. None of these illfomens, however, seemed to harmfully affect the dance because it proved to be a great success. The Juniors have taken their first step toward their goal. NOVEMBER 2, VVEDNESDAY Dear Diary: With the opening of the basketball season very near, a class meeting was called to make preparations for the selling of candy and cokes at the home games. It was also decided to operate a check-room as an extra means of raising money. Committees were appointed for each game and then the meeting was adjourned. NOVEMBER J. THURSDAY Dear Diary: On October 3, when the first edition of the L. Hi News was published, Miss Smith's home room was declared the winner of the Junior Home Room Contest . This contest was sponsored to boost the sale of subscriptions for the school paper. The reward was to be a weiner roast for the winning room paid for by the two losing rooms. Because of cold weather we had the party in the cafeteria. Besides being given a delicious lunch, the guest home room was seated in a position of honor and excellently enter- tained. Several interesting games were played while a radio proved quite convenient for those who enjoy dancing. NOVEMBER 15. WEDNESDAY Dear Diary: Again the Juniors are busy! Today. basketball schedule pencils went on sale. Each Junior was issued a certain number of pencils to sell and, at once, they were canvassing the school and the town for customers. 4, JUNIURS FIRST ROW ileft to rightl: Miss Smith.

So that this sale may be the suc- cess we wish it to be. the entire class must work cooperatively in advancing the sale ot the wreaths. We will succeed! DECEMBER Ili. SATVRDAY Dear Diary: A bake sale, a usual annual event for Juniors, was held in one of the down-town stores, today. This was just another of our undertakings to make money. All the Jun- iors proved their loyalty to the class by cheerfully donating their contribution to the sale and thus making it a huge success. With such undying spirit, we cannot fail! DECEMBER Ill. TUESDAY Dear Diary: We delivered five hundred Christmas wreaths, today! Certainly helped our finances t0O. JANUARY 30. SATVRDAY Dear Diary: What could be more fitting at this time of year than a Winter Carnival? With Old Man Winter very much in the air and the cold winter winds blowing fiercely, the Juniors, tonight, held a Winter Carnival in the gym. Large cardboard snowballs were placed along the stage, and sketches of various sizes showing winter sports and other midseason ideas were used to decorate the gym. Buck Buchanan's orchestra played excellently for the large crowd that attended. A couple of members of our class volun- teered to sing and everyone seemed to enjoy it thoroughly, FEBRUARY I, THFRSDAY Dear Diary: No more pleasing news could have been given the Lawrenceburg Consolidated High School than that our school has been chosen as the place for the sectional tourney in this district. This was especially good news to the Juniors. Much money can be made during this time, We hope. We have decided to sell cokes, potato chips, ice cream, hot dogs, and various school pennants at the games. A check-room will also be conducted. This will be the last undertaking of the Juniors to raise money since sufficient funds will then be on hand to pay the expenses of the prom. APRIL 4, THURSDAY Dear Diary: Since the Juniors have completed their long drive for money and have so well ac- complished their task, a Junior party was held, tonight. It was a very happy occasion for the whole class and dancing to Buck Buchanan's orchestra was greatly enjoyed by the Juniors and their guests. MAY 35, SATURDAY Dear Diary: The long sought goal was reached, tonight. Within the walls of our beautifully and attractively decorated gym, the Juniors elegantly displayed their fine ability to entertain. Nothing was spared to add to the splendor of the unforgetable occasion, Such a prom! The music was smooth, the food just right, and decorations . . . even if we did do it, we must say they looked lovely. At the close of this pleasant, eventful evening. and with the approach of the last day of school, the Juniors may well say that they have worthily and happily lived up to their class and their motto, Never say die, say do .

ANNUAL just as a potter shapes his clay, and just as a sculptor chisels hard marble into something beautiful and grace- ful, so the class of '40 set to work to make its last con- tribution to high school life a success. lt was with enthu- siasm and a sense of responsibility that the staff began work on a year book that would leave in the minds of the readers no doubt as to the extent of their resource- fulness and initiative. Having been carefully chosen these people started in earnestly. Consultations with engravers, printers, and sponsors followed. Each department went about its re- spective duties a little bewildered at such an undertaking but ready and willing to learn. The photographic sec- tions were assembled, articles were written, and adver- tisements were solicited. lf the work did not run smoothly, the staff labored to accomplish the seemingly unsurmountable obstacles. Each person gave his utmost into the making of this annual, and to each it was worth every effort put forth. Now that, with the aid of the faculty advisors, Miss O'Shaughnessy and Miss Ragsdale, this treatise on our four years has been completed, we give it to you in its entirety. Although it is small, the book represents hours of hard work and careful planning. Our only hope is that you will receive from it a bit of the joy and pleasure that went into its making. L. I-II NEWS The l... l-li News, bi-weekly publication of L. C. H. S. and official news organ of the school, has just written finis to another successful year of news-broadcasting. The group that set about editing the paper at the beginning of the school year, were in themselves, a little dubious of their ability to undertake such responsibility. But since it was do or die , discharging their duties with an air of confidence which they were far from feeling, they purposefully set about their work. It was with some anxiety that they patiently await- ed the first issue of the paper-proof that they were suited to the job. The day for distribution came and With it came a sigh of relief that resounded through the entire building. The fruits of their labor was a successlll After that it was an easy matter to write, proofread, and assemble material for each issue. Altogether fifteen issues were published, and through the combined efforts of Miss Ragsdale, faculty advisor, and the journalism class, each paper showed a vast improvement over the preceding one. Therefore, a certain degree of perfection was attained and it was with regret that the finishing touches were put to the last issue. Although the time has gone, never to come again, the staff can look back on a year of achievement of which they can be justly proud. CHOHK The Lawrenceburg Consolidated High School Choir is one year old and has already taken its place as a defi- nite activity of our high school. From the I I0 members of the combined glee clubs are selected the highly es- teemed choir members. On specified days during the entire school year they have faithfully practiced and rehearsed, and it is because of this that the concerts given were such successes. The choir as an organization this year has appeared in a fall music festival, a concert, and an operetta, The Belle of Barcelona . ln addition to this it has given several concerts at local churches. It appears regularly as a part of the Baccalaureate services and makes its last appearance of the year at the commencement exercises. With the proceeds of the concerts given last year and with the help of the good and appreciative people of Lawrenceburg, it has now a very well rounded library of musical interpretationsg and under the able director- ship of Mr. Ratliff it has gone far. The choir is composed of sixteen seniors, eleven juniors, thirteen sophomores, and ten freshmen. BAND The flash of instruments, the beat of drums, and the passing review of uniforms fill the hearts of all Law- renceburg with pride as they observe the achievements made in three years by the L. C. H. S. Tiger Band. The band made its debut this year November 9, l940, in its third annual concert featuring Rev. Martin as guest soloist. ln December plans were made for the band to attend home and out-of-town games to boost the team and add to the spirit of sportsmanship. ln January the Band Parents' Club was organized to assist the director, Mr. Ratliff, in planning for various improvements for the members. Their first task was the presentation of sweaters and letters. The first band tournaments to be held in this part of the country were given at Lawrenceburg, March 29, and at Aurora, April l, l940. Both concerts were well presented and attended. ln the last concert of the year, each of the nine sen- ior members of the band gave a solo, which demonstrat- ed their individual achievements. These are Edward and Ernest Hartwell, Ruth Anne Lowe, jean Schnebelt, Robert Keller, Mary Rodenberg, Gloria johnson, Mary Ann Nowlin, and Margaret Roush. .Q A K X K , vu U- . n.

The aim of the club primarily is to study the cultural background, cus- toms, and life of the people. and to encourage French conversa- tion among its members. The monthly meetings are devoted partially to the educa- tional development of the members and partially to social en- joynient. 111 following this dual plan the members have taken turns in giving reports about the French people and their in- terests. One report of special note was Vocational Opportunities for Foreign Language Students. Before adjourning light re- freshments were served. Based npon the attitude of its mem- bers and the record attendance at each meeting, it has undoubt- edly proved a great success. The high light of the social side of the club was Le Grand Banquet , closing function of the school year. The committee prepared a delectable French menu while the more artistically inclined designed French menu cards, bearing the fleur-de-lis tclub crestb. Miss O'Shaughnessy, sponsor, claims that credit for the success of the L'Alliance Francaise is due solely to each mem- ber of the organization. The members, having cooperated with their officers, President Carl Evert and Secretary Margie Krein- hop, are responsible for keeping alive the interest and activity of the group, LATIN CLUB The first meeting ot the Latin Club was held in September the officers elected were Celeste Knue senior consul Earl Kit tle. junior consulg Glorit Johnson quaestor and Nathalie Wir neford, scriba. Everyone wholeheartedly Joined in efforts to make this year one of the most outstandlng in the history of its organization. During the entire year the members proved themselves to be willing workers who were always ready to cooper ite in any possible way with the officers to make the club one of the most interesting and most valued of the many d.CtlVltl6S ot the school Although we all remembered the old adage lNever change horses in the middle of the stream Miss Elliott was forced to resign because of ill health at the beginning of the second semester. Miss Margaret Covert took over the responsibilities as SDOIISOF. Under Miss Covert's guidance a few changes were made in the constitution of the club and the name, which was formerly the S. E. Q. P., was changed to the S E P Q The delight of the year was the banquet held annually on the feast of Rosaria, the day set aslde for the honoring of the Roman dead. N. Y. A. The National Youth Administration, a branch of the Works Progress Administration, was organized five years ago, in order that assistance be given those stud- ents who wish to continue their schooling but who need financial aid to do so. . The fundamental purpose of the N. Y. A. is to give each boy and girl, who so desires. an equal opportunity to avail himself of whatever educational facilities are immediately available. The students who participate in this organization per- form a variety of tasks which are distributed among the various departments in the school. The N. Y. A. gives the student a chance to earn along with the opportunity to benefit himself by his ex- perience. A sense of responsibility and of confidence is created by it and a student must in some cases rely on his own initiative. Practically all the work in the N. Y. A. program is done by the students after school hours. A time limit of thirty hours a month is placed on them and no work can be done after they have filled their quota. The pay- ments for this work are sent by check directly to the student from the United States Treasury. G. A. A. When October l rolled around last fall, activities of the Girls Athletic Association, supervised by Mfss Katherine Price, were well under way. The season was begun with a series of kickball sessions. When Old Man Winter began to creep around L. C. H. S., the girls retreated to indoor quarters and engaged in that favorite lndiana sport, basketball. Six teams were chos- en to keep that old hardwood hot. After many hard foug-ht games the Blue team came out victorious. Win- ter activities wound up with volleyball, a ping pong tournament, and efficiency tests. During the spring months the girls played softball, and executed major feats in the annual track meet. Since more activities were offered this year, the amount of points given for each was reduced. As a re- sult the girls had an opportunity to participate in more events: however, they had to meet higher standards in order to win an award. Besides its success in athletics G. A. A. proved itself very capable in the business field. With the profits made on its business ventures-candy sales, a skating party, and a bake sale-bows and arrows were purchased to begin archery in L. C. H. S. G. A. A. also treated it- self to a party as a triumphant conclusion to one of its most successful years in the history of L. C. H. S.

The number of participants var- ies-attendance depending somewhat upon the opera to be de- bated and the mood of the students. The purpose of this club is to study and appreciate finer music. It generally meets several days before an opera is to be given from the Metropolitan Opera House and the members dis- cuss the opera, the stars, and listen to recordings. Operas are torn into shreds. Opinions and counter-opinions flow freely. Some of the favorite recordings which they listened to were Ah, Forse'e' lui the Death Scene from La Traviata , Quar- tette from Rigoletto , and Sextette from Lucia . The operas that were discussed during the year were Manoa by Massenet, Tristan and Isolde , Meistersinger , Lohengrin and Tannhauser by Wagner, La Traviata by Verdi, Lackme by Delibes, and Boris Godounov by Mous- sorgsky. The Opera Club members saw the Puppet Opera, Aida at Pogue's in Cincinnati. All who have been privileged to participate in these meet- ings emerge with a wholesome knowledge of operas and a better understanding of finer music. STAMP CLUB A postage stamp decided the course of the present Panama Canal: another plunged two South American countries into war a third stamp records the tale of the bloodlest revolution Hun gary has ever seen-and now thirty five new issues tell the dramatic epic of the progress of American men ot letters music and science. Realizing that there was a stirring and very interesting story behind every stamp clubs sprang up everywhere and stamp collecting has proved to be a most fascinating hobby It was after the Christmas of 1939 that ten amateur philate lists banded together, under the leadership ot Mr Fabian to form the Stamp Club of L C H S Officers elected at the first meeting were Dorothy Vest presldent Mary Fox vice presidentg and Betty Sue Reichert secretary treasui er The club was organized for a twofold purpose amusement and interest of its members During the short time it has been in existence it has done much to achieve both 0bJeCtlV6S In bi-monthly meetings held ID the basement of the Law renceburg Public Library its members have discussed exam ined, and exchanged stamps Perhaps there IS no better way of learning history and geography while at play than by collecting SUHIIDS. CAMERA CLUB The Camera Club first organized in Lawrenceburg High School in I935 under the direction of Mr. H. P. Harrison is one of the extra-curricular activities under the supervision of the same sponsor. just Cameras! That is the prerequisite. The activity itself provides instruction along all lines of picture mak- ing-the exposures, developing, printing, enlarging, and tinting. Photography is not a satisfactory hobby in itself, but is a natural ally of nearly all other avocations-swim- ming, canoeing, fishing, hunting, hiking, and many other forms of athletics. Photography brings back the memory of many happy moments, and it is througfh this amus- ing and interesting pastime that a permanent record of interests may be acquired. The least that can be said is that it provides a worthy use of leisure time, one of the seven objectives of educa- tion. The aim of the Club is to foster an interest in photography as a hobby. Aiding the sponsor in directing the activities of the group are Margaret Schneider, president: Robert Cook, vice-presidentg and jimmy Jacobs, secretary-treasurer. PHI-BI-Cl-IEMI CLUB The Phi-Bi-Chemi Club, the science club of our high school, is sponsored by Mr. H. P. Harrison, who first organized this club in l930. The officers elected for the year were jack Hannan, presidentg Russell Benning, vice president: Frances Cornelius, secretary and treasurer. The Phi-Bi-Chemi Club strives to provide a means of study of the modern advances in the field of science. lt is a social as well as an educational opportunity for those students interested in the sciences, and a means for those especially interested to keep informed regard- ing the most recent discoveries and scientific develop- ments. During the course of the past year the club mem- bers have enjoyed numerous social activities. The Phi-Bi-Chemi Club proudly boasts of being the only club to be affiliated with either a state or' national organization. ln this respect it has the dual honor of being affiliated with both the indiana Academy of Science and The American lnstitute of Science and Engineering Clubs. clmtnl CLUB FIRST ROW: Margaret Schneider.

HOBBY CLUB A hobby- An occupation or interest to which one gives his spare time for everybody -is the slogan which the hobby club has successfully upheld for its third year. This group not only undertakes the developments of each member's special interest or talent, but also strives to instill a cooperative spirit in each member. This is achieved by the members working for the benefit of their school in the advertisement of games, dances, tour- ncys, musicals, plays, and other school affairs. Besides the making of posters, the members assist various com- mittees in making decorations for class dances and par- ties. As is customary the Hobby Club was once again asked to join forces with the iunior class in designing the setting, invitations, and decorations for the junior Prom. Many of the school activities are indebted to the members of this club and its sponsor, Miss Celeste O'Shaughnessy, for the posters which they design and execute. A very useful and necessary organization, the Hobby Club, helps connect each activity with the unit that is our school--true cooperation. 4-H CLUB An organization new to L. C. H. S., the 4-H Club, got off to a good start November l, I939. lts officers were elected and plans were laid for the future. Pro- jects upon which to work throughout the summer were selected by each member. These projects-cann'ng, baking, clothing, food preparation, or room improve- ment-will be finished and displayed in August at the Dearborn County Fair. The club is under the supervision of Mrs. Zoller, the Adult Leader. She is aided by junior Leaders, Myr- tle Lyttle and Betty Walser, who render general services to the entire club. The goal of the 4-H Club is to teach its members to appreciate the finer and more significant things of life, to use their hands, and to sing, and be happy. l'ts emblem, the four leaf clover, represents the four-fold development of the Head, Heart, Hands, and Health, and its motto is To Make The Best Better. For the summer months the club has planned trips to the Zoo, Clifty Falls State Park, and other places of interest. Summer meetings will take place at L. C. H. S. or at the homes of the members. Although the 4-H Club is very young, it has shown much progress, and as school closes it bears all the marks of being a huge success. TIGER STAFF STANDING: Alta Stahl, Helen Liddle, Miss Smith.

THE TIGER On November 22, l939, the first edition of a little but mighty newspaper was circulated through the popu- lace of L. C. H. S. lt was called the Tiger in honor of L. C. H. Sfs hardwood heroes. As a project the Ad- vanced Stenography class published the Tiger monthly. The labor-writing of articles, stencil-cutting, running Tigers off the mimeograph machine, and chasing them through the halls of l... C. H. S.-which went into the making of the Tiger was done entirely by this class. The most interesting feature of the Tiger and one which puzzled and irritated most students and practic- ally all teachers, was its last page entitled The Tiger Tells???? . The Tiger told all in shorthand. For this reason nobody was surprised to see some student or teacher racing through the halls nervously running his hands through his hair asking this one and that one if he could read shorthand with a Mind you, this is all confidential . Cub reporters from other classes of the Commercial Department kept the Tiger informed on scoop news in their respective classes. SENIUR GLASS PLAY On May I7, the Senior class presented Spring Fever , a gay farce of college life in three acts. The story takes place the day before Commencement at Mrs. Spangler's rooming-house. Howard Brant, a senior, fails to hand a term paper in on time and is told he will not be graduated. To add to his despair, his aunt who has financed his way through college arrives unexpectedly for gradu- ation. ln the meantime, his heart-interest Anne Purcell, who has failed to get reservations at a hotel for her millionaire parents, persuades Howard to put her father in his room for the night. When Mr. Purcell arrives, Vic Lewis, an art student, thinks 'he is a model who is to pose for him. The agency had called Vic and tolcl him the man didn't want to pose, so when Mr. Pur- cell resists them, Vic and Ed Burns, another roomer, gag and tie him to a hatrack. At every quiet interval in the story, Ed Burns, who is trying to find a substitute for dynamite, frightens everyone with his explosions. But, of course, everything ends happily. Mr. Purcell forgives the boys for the insult forced upon him, helps Howard graduate, and even promises to accept him as a son-in-law.

With the local boys leading all the way, the score stood 16 to 4 at the half, and 27 to 18 when the gun sounded. 11f1Of39 For the second game the Tigers journeyed to North Vernon to try to break the jinx which the Panthers had held over them for 13 years. Our small fast-breaking team put up a good fight against the big boys of North Vernon, but the Panthers fins ally took the ball game in a double overtime tussle. North Vernon held a slight margin on the score throughout most of the game. The game ended in a tie 25-25. The double overtime brought the Panthers out on top by a two point lead, making the final score 27-25. 11f17f39 Due to the fact that Vevay's new gym was not completed, this game scheduled for the Warriors' Camp was played in the Tigers' Den, with the Tigers proving their superiority over the Warriors, thus keeping in their possession the coveted horse-shoe which is presented to the winner of every game between Vevay and Lawrenceburg. 11f24f39 Harold Newgent, former coach of the Tiger squad, brought the Greensburg Pirates to our floor for defeat. At the quarter Greensburg led by a score of 7-4, but the Tigers came back and led the game at the half 15-12. The third quarter proved decisively to be the Tigers' round when it ended with an eleven point lead of 32 to 21. In the last quarter the Pirates made a desperate last stand, but when the gun sounded, it was the Tigers on top. 11f29f39 One of the high lights of the season came with the fifth game, for Lawrenceburg was invaded by their chief rivals, the Aurora Red Devils. It was the Tigers' night to step out, and they led the fight all the way by winning with a-14 point margin, the score being 43 to 29. 12f1f39 Our boys visited the Bulldogs' Kennel for Batesville's first game of the season and took the opportunity of trouncing them by a score of 39-21. The game proved to be a one sided affair. At the quarters the scores read 9 to 4, 19 to 9, 31 to 14, and 39 to 21 for the game. 12fSf39 For the seventh game the Tigers played hosts to the Madison Cubs, and treated them in royal fashion for Madison went home with the laurel wreath. The game started out as if Lawrenceburg were going to add another game to their win column for at the quarter the score stood at 13 to 3 in favor of the Tigers. At the half, however, the lead was cut in half with a score of 19 to 14. At the end of the third quarter it was all even at 23 for both, but the game ended 32 to 28 with Madison on the long end. 12f15f39 The Tigers again broke into the winning division by beating the Brookville Grey- hounds to the merry tune of 45 to 28. This was another game in which the Tigers held the edge throughout. Brookville had a large team but the fast breaking' Tigers did the trick as a result of their speed and stamina. 12f19f39 The ninth game brought North Vernon out of their Panthers' Den a11d into the Tigers' Lair for a game which still proved that North Vernon held a jinx over Law- renceburg, for they won with a one point margin. This game proved to be a heart- breaker for the Tigers for at the end of the first quarter they were out in front by a score of 7 to 1, but in the second quarter the margin dwindled to only 3 points with the score at 11 to 8. It was in the third quarter that Lawrenceburg gave up their slim lead to North Vernon when that quarter ended 18 to 17. 'The final quarter was nip and tuck all the way, but the Panthers managed to get the last one through the hoop for a 24 to 23 victory. 12f22f39 Pitting their strength against our fighting Tigers, the highly rated Kentucky quintet came from Newport for a game in which Lawrenceburg led the score the entire time. The respective quarterly scores were: 14 to 7, 25 to 13, 33 to 28, and 46 to 36. 12f29f39 The Tigers journeyed to Rushville during their Christmas vacation only to fold up due to exhaustion in the second half of the game and lose by a score of 51 to 35. During the first quarter Lawrenceburg outplayed the mighty Rushville quintet and led them 14 to 8. The second quarter brought a change, however, and it ended 24 to 23 favor of the Tigers. It was the last half when the Lions' size began to take its toll, and the score changed from the small, fast-breaking Tigers' favor to the Lions. The third quarter ended 36 to 29. INVITATIONAL TOURNEY 1f1j40 New Years took the boys to North Vernon to compete in the Invitational Tourna- ment. The three other teams were Aurora, Madison, and North Vernon. In the first game our Tigers upset the jinx and the dope bucket by winning over North Vernon, 33 to 28. The second game between Aurora and Madison was a hard fought contest with Madison emerging victorious, 33 to 27. As a result of the afternoon game Lawrenceburg and the Madison Cubs climaxed the day by tangling in the final game. This game was the 'Tigers all the way. Madison was a hard fighting quintet but they could not keep the Tigers from leading all the way and winning 28 to 19. 1j5f40 For the first scheduled game after New Years the Tigers went to Milan to bring home the Indians' scalps. The Tiger substitutes played almost the entire game and had very little trouble keeping out in front. The final score read 32 to 23 in Lawrence- burg's favor. 1f12j40 It was finally time for Lawrenceburg to journey to Vevay and to play in their new gym. The game started out looking very bad for the Tigers with a score of 10 to 7 at the quarter in favor of the Warriors. At the half, however, our boys had the lead well in hand at 18 to 12. The third quarter cut the margin down to a 4 point lead at 26 to 22, but in the last quarter the Tigers put on a little more steam and finished in fine fashion by defeating Vevay 34 to 24. 1j19j40 The Batesville Bulldogs came barking into town and stole the beef from under the Tigers' nose. This game was the one in which our boys couldn't seem to play to- gether. The ragged affair stood in Batesville's favor throughout. 1 j26j40 The two rivals were again brought together in this game, for the Tigers coasted down to Aurora and took command of the Red Devils by leading the scoring through- out most of the game. Aurora put up a gallant fight until the middle of the third quarter when they blew up. 'The quarter scores were 9 to 5, 24 to 11, 34 to 20, and 40 to 28. 2 f2 f40 Brookville came to town to seek revenge for the dubbing they had received earlier in the season at the hands of the Tigers. The game proved to be a one-sided affair for the Tigers after the first quarter. The end of the half gave our boys a 20 to 12 lead which was never to be whittled down. The third quarter ended 32 to 243 and when the gun sounded, the Tigers were ahead of the Greyhounds 42 to 32. 2 f9 f40 The Tigers journeyed to Liberty for the annual tussle between the two teams. The game looked very much like it would be Liberty's all the way for they held the lead until the fourth quarter. The scores were 14 to 7, 21 to 14, and 31 to 28 in Liberty's favor for the first three quarters. The Tiger squad really started clicking in the last quarter, though, and came through in fine fashion to clinch the game with a 38 to 32 score. 2 f16 f40 Lawrenceburg's last home game brought the Hagerstown, Ky. Tigers down to our Tigers' Den for a thriller which left Lawrenceburg on the short end by four points. Hagerstown held the lead at the end of each quarter, the closest being 20 to 19 at the end of the half. The third quarter was Hagerstown's all the way. In the last quarter our Tigers put on a mighty drive, but were not able to get close enough. When the gun sounded the end of the game, the Hagerstown Tigers were out in front 38 to 34. 2 f23f40 For the final game of the season. the Tigers went down the river to visit the Mad- ison Cubs. Madison had command all the way. Thus ended the scheduled season of the Tigers, who played some of the best basketball ever seen put out by a Lawrenceburg quintet. Their season's record was twelve games won and seven games lost. SECOND TEAM The Ii. C. H. S. second team of 1939-40 was very successful. The majority of the players were underclassmen, but they prov- ed their merits by turning in 12 victories and being defeated only 6 times.

The opener was played against Aurora at I.awrenceburg and in order to start the season right the Tigers rubbed out the Red Devils by a score ot' 0-4. Next came two games with the Vevay Warriors and the Tigers won both games, The first encounter ended 22-21 ill favor of the Tigers. The second game score was 12-S with the 'Tigers on top. Two games were played with Batesville. The Tigers won both games. When they traveled, they won 4-5, and at home they repeated to the tune of 9-6. Aurora, looking for revenge, played host next. They were disappointed, because the Tigers hit again and came out on top by the score of 10-1. The Softball Sectional was held at Vevay this year, and the Tigers brought home the bacon . Jeep Hill's two hitter, and Edward Hartwell's no-hitter enabled Lawrenceburg to defeat Madison 2-3 and North Vernon 14-1. These wins gave the Tigers a chance to go to Salem to participate in the Regional. The Regional drawings threw the Tigers in the ring with Salem. lt was a close gameg they played their best: but the Tigers ended their season by losing to Salem 6-4, SEGUND TEAM A mix ' ' ' ' ff,::-rf..-ifggtmgf - . . rw.. - - FRONT ROW: Bruce Townsend, Jerry Seitz.

Under the supervision of David Batthauer, the Intramural Board, wlhich arranges interclass sports and activities, started another series of competitive matches among the four classes. This board was organized to enable the average student, who is not good enough to make the varsity, to participate in the major sports. The mem- bers of the Board were elected by their respective classes and were responsible for the arrangement of the program and schedule. The members of this year's board were: Seniors: Edward Hartwell Ernest Hartwell Juniors: Jerry Seitz George Terrill Sophomores: ,lack Nowlin George Horn Freshmen: John McWethy Bruce Townsend Softball, basketball, soccer, football, and track pro- grams were scheduled. Boxing and wrestling, two new sports, were also given their start in the intramural pro- gram. The officials at the games were either members of the Board or other impartial students. ln past years this activity has had a desirable effect both physically and mentally on the boys who have engaged in the pro- gram it offers. INTRAMURAL ASSOCIATION Through learning and abiding by the rules of this association these boys gradually adopt themselves to the idea that life is not all taking, and benefit greatly by leaming to both give and take early in life. They learn in their associations with fellow students to detect and correct physical and mental defects of their own, and to overlook partly those of others. The atmosphere of comradeship, competition, and fair play tends to start them in the riglht direction when they complete their school training. No sweaters are awarded in this activity, but the personal conquests over fear and hate which they achieve are in themselves enough reward. The only rules really enforced are 'istay clean, play fair, and use common sense. Though these boys travel far they will long remem- ber the benefits they received in this association. Learn- ing Truth, and Youth march hand in hand, ever onward, ever upward. ' TRACK BASEBALL TEAM The baseball team reported in fine shape for their pre-season practice, with all the veterans back but two, who were lost due to graduation. The team looked well balanced and was strongly fortified at each position. Other than the regulars, there was a string of reinforce- ments ready on the bench at all times to go in and help the cause. The first two games were played with Taylor High of North Bend, Ohio. ln the first game the boys sailed into an easy victory behind Albright's pitching perform- ance. The score was 9 to 5. The second game proved to be one for the other team. Taylor High won I0 to 4, while beating our boys playing behind jeep Hill, who pitched. The team as a whole looked mighty fine, With the Hartwells, Dennis, and Seitz in the nine. While Albright and Hill held firm on their spot, Oberting, Kittie, and Cook helped a lot. When the call for track candidates was first announc- ed many promising men volunteered. The team as a whole was well balanced, and well coached in the basic principles of the cinder path. The following men were in the various events: the mile-Jeffries, Miller: hurdles -Larry Steigerwald, Cook, Livingston: 220-james Steigerwaldg broad jump-Kittie, 440-Keller: half mile-Ware, Cardewing, Kirsch.
