On the other hand, you might hear, Say, boy, that was a pretty good story you wrote on Friday nights game. Publishing the Desert Howl isn't a pink cloud of paradise, but neither is it strictly hard labor. The whole class worked together for two weeks at a stretch and then rejoiced to gether or cried together, depending on how the finished product turned out. The Desert Howl usually turned out very well, because it was rated First Class by the National Scholastic Press Association and generally praised by students, faculty, and parents The class sent four delegates to the annual journalism convention at Tucson, Wanda Dam ron, Bill Hardison, Beryl Koger, and La Nell Henry.

Owls Switch To Eleven-Man Football THIS YEAR the Owls switched from six-man football to eleven-man. Because of inexperience and lack of depth, the team went winless. Although the Owls didn't ever come out on top, all the squad played their best and didn't stop fighting until the final gun. ln the opening game the Peoria Panthers eked out a 12-6 victory over the Owls. The following week the Owls lost a 19-14 heartbreaker to Tolleson with the gold and blue threaten- ing in the final minutes of the game. After holding the strong Buckeye Hawks to a 19-18 half- time score, the Owls gave 'Way in the final stanzas and lost 50-18. Next came a 26-O shellacing by the Carver Monarchs. After the Willie Fulksl Ronald Cruigo MOHCIFCIISI QCIITIG, the Owls lost CI bruising game to Santa Cruz 26-13. ln a very muddy game at Scotts- dale, the squad was blanked by a 20-U score by the Beavers. ln the final game of the season, the Owls played probably their best game. After leading most of the game they got careless in the fi- nal moments and lost at 13-l2 thriller to the Superior Panthers. Under the able guidance of Coaches Glenn Mackie and Ioe Garcia, the squad was taught the fundamentals of eleven-man foot- ball. This training was combined with the practice of good sports- manship, which makes the game of football more enjoyable. left half right end Owls Gain Much Valuable Experience During Year Signals 1 ,... 2 . . . 3 . .

The boys Won eleven While dropping seven in their tough 18-game schedule. This squad Was built around such returning letter- men as Ray Stewart, Ron Craigo, and Ken Wood. These three boys carried the team's scoring burden throughout the year. The Owls got off to a good start, winning their first three encounters. However, as the season progressed, they hit a streak of bad luck and lost some of their vital games. The squad finally found themselves and ended the regular season with three straight Wins. ln the West Central District Tournament, the Qwls entered as one of the favorites, but were defeated in their first two games.

Peoria Owlets Play Well During the basketball season, the Owlets gained much experience and chaiked up a good record-nine wins and eleven losses. Most of the boys who played on the l.V.'s this year will probably be on the varsity next year. Therefore their training in good sportsmanship and the funda- mentals of basketball will make the future brighter for the 1951 blue and gold cagers. Some of the outstanding players on the squad were loe VV'oods, Richard Esquivel, and Terry Mack, who was elected captain of the team. ln the Iunior Varsity Tournament at Tolleson the Owlets got into the finals of the consolation bracket, but were defeated by a strong Buckeye Squad. Ioe Wood was chosen as captain of the all-tournament secondtearn. 4 1 N w i 1 4 I A Standing, left to right: Kingsbury. Brownlie. Coach Coor. Ackman, Harwood, Monty. Kneeling, left to right: Coulter.

Their weight was felt in every track meet in which they participated. The first meet of the year was with Tolleson and Buckeye, at Tolleson. This was fol- lowed by meets with the Glendale I.V.'s and the North Phoenix I.V.'s. Next were the Arizona Relays, in which L.H.S.'s one-mile relay team ran one of the finest races of the year. The team consisted of Willie Fulks, Ed Monty, Phil Brownlie, and Don Coulter. Each ran 443 yards. The following week came the Chandler Relays, and then the district meet. Willie Fulks Won the 220 yard dash, successfully' defending his title, and placed third in the century. loe Lipscomb placed third in the mile run. These performances qualified these boys to run in the state meet at Tempe where Willie Eulks placed third in the 220 yard dash. Running the different events and showing very well during the season were Willie Fulks in the l00 and 220 yard dashes and the relay, Phil Brownlie and Don Coulter in the 440 yard dash and relay: Ioe Lipscomb in the mile, the high jump, and the 880 yard rung Ed Monty in the 440 yard dash and the 880 yard rung Ray Stewart in the l00 and the 220 yard dashes, the broad jump, and the relay: Dick Kingsbury in the pole Vaulty lames Ackman, in the shot put and the mile rung and, Fred Harwood in the shot put.

Owls Show Improvement On The Diamond LITCHFIELDS BASEBALL SQUAD, with only three returning lettermen, snapped out of what was expected to be an exceptionally poor year to win four games and to be stiff competition in several of their losses.

The Owls wound up their season with 4 wins against 8 losses. Litchfield fought all the way, but didn't have a strong enough offense to overcome the more powerful teams. Next year's team will have six returning lettermen, as well as some good talent from this year's Owlets. While limbering their muscles, the girls decided to try some fancy formations. Some of the girls demonstrate cx little buck bending while the rest look on. Girls' P. E. Class Active Throughout Year IN TI-IE PHYSICAL EDUCATION class, the girls were taught the rules of fair play and good sportsmanship. When the Weather permitted, the class members participated in outdoor games. On the coldest winter days the gym rang with the enthusiastic shouts of the girls. Among the favorite activities were softball, Volleyball, basketball, tennis, and tumbling. Lei! to right: Tucker. Dudley. Kingsbury, Dcimron, Frost, Couch Mackie Everyone Enjoyed Tennis WHETHER THEY WERE on the regular tennis squad or not, there were always many students out on the courts awaiting their turn to play. Before and after school and at the noon hour, there Were tennis games in progress and dozens of interested spectators cheering their favorites on. Several players obtained honor-roll passes and brushed up on their serves and returns during study periods. However, because the squad was small, L.H.S. played only three matches. Their first match was with Tolleson, which they won, the next with Buckeye, which they lost. ln the district meet, they were beaten by Buckeye, but defeated Scottsdale in girls' doubles. The tennis team had a new coach this year, Mr. Mackie, who gave them some helpful tips and thoughtful guidance. Toby Peterson and Don Libby are not in the picture.
