LQHQITDQII Every year some boys who take part in athle tics are sufficiently outstanding to deserve let- ters of recognition. When these boys earn letters they also earn a seat among the lettermen This year seven boys earned letters. Standing: Clyde Kinney-coach, Jay Krauss. Donald Waldfogel. Louis Schmitz. Seated: Gene Lantz, Robert Weber, Dale Robinson, Loyal Rupp. New Auditorium--Gymnasium For our future athletes ve have planned a new auditorium- gymnasium in which to play those star basketball games. It will occupy most of the new building and the actual playing floor will be seventy-eight feet by forty- five feet. The new auditorium-gymnasium as planned is arranged very much like the present one but on a larger scale. Spectators at games will be seated in bleachers at the west end. These bleachers will I e larger than the present ones :nd will seat any crowd likely to 1t- tend a game here--even a Pettis- 19 ville-Archbold crowd. Two athletic dressing rooms will be built below the stage at the east end of the room. These will be provided with showers and will be used only to change into or from gym clothes. Especially et the commence- ment activites the present audi- torium has often overflowed and those who could not get in simply have had to go home. In our new plan. if there is an overflow, it will be seated in the north cor- ridor which will open into the auditorium with a telesco p 1 n g wall. In case the crowd is even larger than can be accommodated by this extra space, the will gt the b a c k above-the permanent seats will telescope also so that Spectators can be taken care of in the room above the lobby. The west entrance to the building will open into a spa- cious lobby. The ticket booth will be in this room. The lobby will be closed off from the rest of the corridor by gates. New stage facilities a r e discussed on page nineteen. This new auditoriumigymna- sium. which is the biggest item in our new school plan, has been carefully planned and we feel it will really be ideal. The Lariat, 1946

Six high school boys played on the reserve basketball team. These players did a good Job of substituting on the varsity team during the season. How- ever they did not make such a good rec- ord for themselves as a team, as they won only one game. The fact that most of them had very little previous bas- ketball experience partially accounts for this record. Jay Krauss-mgr., James Zook. G s 1 e n Waldfogel, Harold Stout, Junior Lantz. Louis Haskell, Donald Wenner, C 1 y d e Kinney-coach. Junior high team Reserve teem The six junior high basket- ball players had little practice and little success. They played only a few games during the year and were always defeated. During the second sem ster Mr. Springer took over the condu- ing of the team and they held several practices but the season was over before they got Win 'the swing.H They have high hopes for next year.

C hQ-QIlQCldQTS They didn't shoot the baskets. but they were in there plugginl Yes. the cheerleaders stoody by the basketball t e a m e again this year through thick'n thin. In addition to the three senior high cheerleaders this year. junior high cheerleaders were elected again since a junior high team was organized. The five certainly did what they could to make our team's good record. Barbara First, Joan Leininger. Ilva Rupp, Betty Burkholder. Marilyn Haskell. Boosters The booster committee helped k e e p the team's spirits high by making clever favors for them for each game. Besides that, whenever them heard someone suggest giving t h e boys e feed they were always on the Job to prepare the food and decorate the tables. They share our teem's success in e very definite way. Standing: Marilyn Haskell, Jay Krauss, Barbara Firstt Stated: Betty Raker. Betty Burkholder. I l v a Rxpp. Joan Lelninger, Stanley Zeigler. T7
