Many wakeful nights vere spent in planning and re-planning a page whose pictures hadn ' t developed or hadn ' t been taken. Her time was spent in trips to the office to call Chicago about covers, keeping check on the various editors, and night after night listen to our ideas, and, whether they were good or bad, she was always ready to soothe our irate minds or to offer some sound advice. We thank you, Miss Jones, for without you there would ' have been no 1944 Sycamore.

QUILL AND SCROLL The hope of every student of journalism is to become a member of the Quill and Scroll, the International Society for High School Journalists. The Wabash Chapter of the Quill and Scroll, founded in 1941, has grown from a membership of two to one of ten under the sponsorship of Miss Biggerstaff. The embers are Virginia Ford, president; Joan Merritt, vice-president; Elizabeth Brant, secretary; Marilyn Cairns, treasurer; Tom Fedewa, sergeant-at-arms, and Marilynne Latchem. Miss Biggerstaff is the sponsor. DEBATE ROW ONE: Inge Blumenthal, Bob Adams. George Wilson, Jim Watson, Mr. Tewks- bury. Bob Gray, Eugene Smith, Jack Butler. ROW TWO: Thomas Weesner, Bob Klinger. SPONSOR: Mr. Tewksbury. Wabash High School debaters once more drew out ttieir gas ration coupons and steered their valuable tires to participate in all major debating and discussion events of this season on the topic: Resolved: That the United States should join in reconstructing the League of Nations. Looking over the records, we find that the teams have persuaded many a judge, for the season was most successful, and it terminated with breaking a ten years ' standing record by going to the state — but yielding the cup. 1943-44 DEBATE SCHEDULE December 12 Wabash Affirmative — Peru Negative January 14 Wabash Negative — Peru Affirmative February 3 FOUR-WAY TOURNAMENT Peru Rochester Elwood Wabash February 26 SECTIONAL TOURNAMENT Peru Rochester Elwood Wabash March 24 STATE TOURNAMENT at Manchester College On April 12, 1944, Jack Butler won second place in the State Oratorical Contest, sponsored by the American Legion and the State Bar Association.

CAPTAIN: George Parks. 1943 SEASON Wabash High School ' s 1943 football season got under wajr last fall with some 30 or 40 pigskin enthusiasts answering Coach John Tatum ' s initial call to practice. Fol- lowing two weeks of intensive work-outs under the boiling sun, the newly-organized group of candidates, with little experience and only the expert guidance and patience of their coach, embarked on the trail of competition. Let ' s go back to one Friday evening in August, 1943, and follow the Apaches ' schedule in the succession of encounters as they were played. Meeting Kokomo ' s Wildcats on Alumni Field in the season ' s opener, the Scalpers found weight and experience against them and consequently bowed to the Kats by a score of 7 to 0. However, the following week, they had gained confidence in their ability and managed to emerge deadlocked 14-all with a defiant Elwood team that snatched victory from the Orange and Black gridders with a last quarter pass inter- ception. That tilt was the first of six Central Indiana Conference games. Torrents of rain and a slippery, soggy Kriegbaum Field at Huntington Provided the scene of the Apaches ' next encounter, but in spite of the fact, they pounded their way to the season ' s initial victory by a 7 to score. Seemingly unable to remain either in the loss or the win column, the Scalning eleven was intent upon tying ball games and the following week Virgil Sug Risner and 10 other boys from Warsaw came back in the second half of a hectic ball game to tie the score at 12-all after the Apaches had chalked up what they thought a comfortable lead. The season ' s second loss came on the home field when the Plymouth Pilgrims went wild with passes to down the Apaches 26 to 14 while Captain and half back George Parks sat on the bench, nursing a bad cold. That fracas also marked the final showing of Bob Mike Christie, veteran end and center, who was inducted into the army a few days later. Somewhat relieved of overconfidence and realizing that they had only one win to their credit to show for five games of play, the Scalpers settled down to business the following week and went to town as they trampled a fighting Peru Tiger eleven by a 13 to 6 score. Then after a week ' s rest because of an open date on the schedule, they returned to Peru and again came through with flying colors and a 13 to triumph. The final game of the sea.=on with Marion ' s Giants, although it ended in a 12 to 12 tie, was a heart-breaker for the WHS eleven for they had confidence of defeating their southern rivals, who had won only one game of their seven scheduled encounters. But the Giants were spirited as never before and the Apaches had to rely on the brilliant passing tactics of Joe Weaver in order to tie the score in the closing minutes of play, thus climaxing a season ' s campaign of three victories, two defeats, and three ties.

Warsaw put the skids under the Apaches the following week by a 05 to 27 score, but they came back to defeat Monticello 38 to 37 and Elwocd 28 to 26 in succession before once more falling into a losing slump. Peru and Sheridan handed them their next losses, the Tigers coming to Wabash in a return engagement and defeating the Apaches 39 to 23, while the Blackhawks bounded through to a 40 to 34 triumph on their own court. Then after turning back Marion 28 to 27 in an overtime encounter that marked the closing of the home season the following week, it looked as if the Scalping quintet would once more come to life as it did earlier in the campaign, but Burris of Muncie ' s towering Owls put a stop ' to things with a 42 to 31 victory and the Apaches finished the remainder of the season losing to Tipton 49 to 38, Rochester 56 to 44j Plymouth 34 to 29, South Side of Fort Wayne 56 to 30, and Kokomo, runner-up in the state tournament, by a score of 55 to 38. Although the 1943-44 basketball squad encountered difficulties throughout its campaign, two of its most outstanding members, John Rorkwell and Joe Weaver, wero given honorable mention on the Central Indiana all-conference cage team by a poll of coaches. Both Weaver, a junior, and Rockwell, a sophomore, will return to the sport next season. Major W sweaters for the 1943-44 season were awarded to Ben Gurtner, John Rockwell, and Jim Sam Butterbaugh, manager.

BASKETBALL The fellows who have to endure most grueling workouts, because they have to play against both the varsity and freshman squads, turned in a fairly good season this year. The Papooses showed fine mental, as well as physical ability on the court this season, and we are looking forward to a successful season from these boys in the next couple of years.
