f tag, fl is 461-im!-.nl-F .nw-af Probably the greatest single contribution made by the Class of '51 was in the field of athle- tics. Most of the boys in the class participated in sports one or more years and several of our athletes became outstanding in one or more sports. The '49-'50 year was the most significant, with three long-to-be-remembered victories. The big upset victory for Ludlow's football team over the favored Ashland Tomcats by a 26-19 score found jack Aynes, Howard Nutter, Harry Denham, Tom Divine, and joe Meyer helping to bring about its accomplishment. When Ludlow defeated Holmes for the Thirty-fifth District Basketball Championship, six of the first ten players were juniors: jack Aynes, Howard Nutter, lake Beil, Bob Brown, Bill Clary, and Bob Freking. In baseball, lack Aynes, with Bob Freking behind the bat, pitched a no-hitter against Lloyd High School. The score was 18-1. During the senior year our same group of athletes, with the addition of Ed Heringhaus, continued to represent Ludlow High School on the various athletic teams. These boys were in large part responsible for two outstanding accomplishments in sports during '50-'51. Howard Nutter was leading scorer in Northern Kentucky during foot- ball season with 85 points, representing 13 touchdowns and 7 points after touchdown. Also, L.H.S., with a starting team of seniors, scored the greatest number of points ever scored in a basketball game in Northern Kentucky by defeating Florence with 107 points. The Class of'51, with its motto of Forward Ever, Backward Never , hopes that each mem- ber will find a happiness and a success even greater than he enjoyed during his high school career. Bon Voyage!
