19 50 Piratari f- redented by tbe -sdnnual Wed CurroMon J4ujk ScL We t Carrollton, FOREWORD Down through the years many books have been written, some good, some bad, but all making their place in history. We have used some of the best of these as headings throughout the 1950 Piratan. In the first four grades nursery rhymes have been used and the theme carried out in these stories. Appropriate book titles have been used for grades five through twelve. It has been our hope to preserve between the covers of this book those memories which are to you, its readers, 1950 at West Carrollton School. If we have accomplished this, our Piratan will make its own small place in the history of West Carrollton. Dedication The 1950 Piratan is dedicated to the parents and guardians of the members of the graduating class who have had so much to do with our being seniors. Their advice and encouragement have spurred us on when we might otherwise have strayed from the beaten path. Their understanding of our problems and their help in solving even the most trivial of them has made us individuals in our own right. As we enter the business and professional world we will have more decisions to make for ourselves and will more fully appreciate what they have done for us in the past twelve years. Following are the names of our parents and guardians: Mr. and Mrs. Jack Alexander Mr. and Mrs. John Jansen Mr. and Mrs. Henry Allen Mr. and Mrs. Robert N. Jennens Mr. and Mrs. Charles Beckett Mr. and Mrs. O. R. Johnson Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Beckman Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Landro Mr. and Mrs. George Bowden Mr. and Mrs. J. B.

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION The above picture reminds us that running a school, like any other enterprise, requires guidance and direction from the community. These seven men give their time and interest that West Carrollton may be a good place for the children and youth of this school district. So smoothly and efficiently does the Board do its work that we, as a community, are hardly conscious of their work. This year, due to the construction of the new building, many additional hours of work on their part will be necessary. It is fitting that we pause to thank these men for their interest and labors for the welfare of the community. Pilots, Board of Education, The School and Community salute youl 5L _JL„« JMt Superintendent Wolter E. Shade, Principal Horry Rutsell, Elementory Principal F. I. Cavender This above all has been their trust for the past year: to keep the school affairs running smoothly at any cost. It has not been easy by any means. Many impediments have been avoided by the quick thinking and planning of our school administrators. With the construction of the new school building at Moraine, many decisions were made which will have bearing on the school system for years to come. We know that these persons have always been and will continue to be worthy of the trust which is vested in them. With the co-operation and understanding of the faculty, West Carrollton has just completed another year in its already outstanding history. We owe a debt of gratitude to those teachers who have been most patient in teaching us the things which we haven't wanted to learn, knowing we would need them in the future. In them, also, was a trust: that of making boys and girls into intelligent and well-adjusted men and women.

Robinett On April the twenty-fifth six members of the senior class were inducted into the National Honor Society and presented their pins by Mr. Harry Russell. These members pictured above were chosen from the first third of their class in scholarship. The purpose of the Society is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in the students at West Carrollton High School. At Commencement on May 25, the three student speakers will use National Honor Society precepts for their topics. Barbara Beckman will use leadership; Mary Bryan, Character, and Dick Sheppard, Service. LITERARY LAPSES' Row One — E. Alexander, G. Robinett, D. Sheppard, G. Johnson Row Two — M. Bryan, D. Edwards, D. Langford, B. Faulkner, D. Allen, M. L. Chance, J. Jansen, W. Mays, C. Frasure, B. Newberg Work on the 1950 Piratan began even before school started in September. In May, Piratan Editor Dick Sheppard, Assistant Editor Gaynard Robinett, and Business Manager Glen Johnson went to Greenfield to confer with Mr. James Oldham of the John and Ollier Engraving Company on new ideas for our yearbook. With this start the 1950 Piratan was well on its way. LOST MANUSCRIPTS Although the increased enrollment brought problems, it also brought capable new members to help speed the work along. The book was divided into sections with an editor responsible for each section. In order of the appearance of each section they are: Mary Lou Chance, senior editor; Willma Mays, underclassmen; Mary Bryan, organizations and activities; Elmer Alexander, sports; and Donald Allen, advertising. Art work, which follows the theme of the book, was done by Charles Frasure. Joan Lee Jansen was in charge of subscriptions. Juanita Zennie, Marcella Scothorn, Beverly Neuberg, Phyllis Hicks, and Geraldine Morton were largely responsible for the typing. The senior class, especially the staff, wish to thank Miss Woodman for her advice and patience. Without her this book would have been impossible. Also we wish to thank Mr. Newberg for all the advice and help which he has given us in his four years as our adivser. G. Rossell, G. Morton M. Scothorn, S. landro, J. Zennie M. Lawrence, P.

Our treasury has been increased considerably by an all school variety show, selling refreshments at basketball games, taking part in a magazine campaign, and by sponsoring a Sweethearts' Dance for the entire student body. Non-profit enterprises include the annual pep rally, presentation of awards to the basketball squad, and class parties. Now that we have gained the respect of the other classes and have found the path towards success, we are looking forward to a busy and happy year as Juniors. Vkey JJ ave n on First Row: G. Pence, B.

In fact, they have been very active in scholarship, sports, music, and the social life of the school. Joy Lee Chambers, Jackie Duncan, Pat Henry, Bruce Jump, Janice Kronborg, Sharon Koppin, Otis Skillings, and Jerry Throckmorton represented the school in the sectional scholarship contest at Miami University. In the District Music Contest several members of the class have received some distinct honors. Patty Price, Otis Skillings, and Dick Pauley received a I rating for their superior performance on the vibraharp, trombone, and tuba respectively. Kenny Scarborough and Harvey Rosener merited II ratings at the Middletown Junior High Music Festival for excellent work on the tuba and clarinet. The Freshman Class has been well represented in sports. Don Adkins, Clifford Cornett, Dale Gebhart, Willard Hartman, and Jerry Throckmorton were chosen for the Freshman basketball team. The class can be proud of the fact that they have excelled in salesmanship. Harvey Rosener has the distinction of having won a trophy granted for highest sales made during the Curtis Magazine Drive; Bruce Jump and Ramona Garey were outstanding in the Christmas Card Sale. The culminating social event of the year for the Freshmen was the colorful May Day Dance. Jackie Duncan, Pat Henry, Janice Kronborg, Charlotte Parlett, Phyllis Weidner, Ervin Leiwig, Barry McNabb, Bob McDaniel, and Jerry Throckmorton were responsible for its success. We Freshmen will never forget the moonlite pool, surrounded by flowers and shrubs. Although we may become Debonaire as time goes on, we shall always remember the happy days of our Green Year.

No strangers to junior high they handled themselves well in their studies and sports. Getting ready for high school was no easy job. The subjects were harder and more concentration was necessary. But the eighth graders were no pikers, they came through with flying colors. They also excelled in sports. The Junior High Basketball Team is something to be watched in the coming years. Several of the eighth grade girls were on the bowling teams and did very well. The high school is gaining a good class next year, or so say Mr. Brown, Mr. Carr, and Miss Sellers, their teachers.

Since there were so many seventh graders, two of their home rooms were in the studyhall which, for many reasons is very bad. But the seventh graders managed to work out their more than ordinary problems and concentrate on being good students and even better fellow-classmen. One of the favorite subjects was English. Perhaps this was because of the unique way in which they gave their book reports. The books in our school library were rated, The Robe being six points and a murder mystery being only two. Twelve points were required for the year. These points could be gotten by reading two such books as The Robe or six such books as The Uninvited . Mrs. Young-berg reports that many seventh graders piled up more than twenty-five points because they liked to read and report on their books. This year, for the first time, seventh graders were included in the Junior Red Cross program. Several seventh grade girls made weekly trips to the Veterans Administration and again showed themselves to be good workers. Next year will be a red letter one for the eighth grade at West Carrollton School according to Miss Arnold, Mr. Graban, and Mrs. Youngberg, the seventh grade home room teachers. TOP First Row: P.

The Social Science Club is a newly organized group with members from grades 10-12 who are interested in acquiring a better knowledge of our world situation and applying that knowledge in the home, school, and community. Since the club was comparatively small this year, it was possible to have regular biweekly meetings with outside speakers and visit various institutions throughout Miami Valley to better understand how they function. In January the club toured the grounds and buildings of Veterans Administration and have more recently been to Troy's Youth Recreation Center and the Dayton State Hospital. More similar trips are planned for the coming weeks. Three of the most interesting guest speakers brought in by the club were German exchange students, attending for a one year period, Jefferson and Madison High Schools. Not only were they very informative but they were good mixers and attended many social functions at West Carrollton. Another outstanding speaker was a Displaced Person from Austria who related many of his own experiences in war-torn Europe and enthusiastically told of his early impressions of the United States. When Mr. Hoffman went to New York City in February, three members of the club went with him, to further not only their ideas in world matters but also to get acquainted with the big city. Upon returning home, films dealing with both the United Nations and New York City were presented to the entire student body. Nancy Locke, Doyle Lonaker, and Donna Smith were the students who went to New York. Since the school had needed a lighting and amplifying system for its gym dances, the club decided to help. At noon intra-mural basketball games were played and the receipts from the cheering spectators netted the club a fair amount. With such advisors as Mr. Carr and Mr. Huffman, the West Carrollton Social Science Club had a wonderful first year and is looking forward to an even better second one. B. Grushon, P. Hortmon, P. Throckmorton, W. Mays, E. Vest. Miss Anstaetl, M. Hile, E. Courtney The Pirates' Log Staff, consisting of the members of the Journalism Class, is responsible for the production of the school paper. In producing the paper, the staff attempts to acquaint its readers with the various activities of the school, ranging from the academic to the ridiculous or sublime. The task is not an easy one. The students are required to secure information in order to write editorials, all kinds of news stories, poetry, and other features. Learning to write them well can not be accomplished in a day, a month, or even in a year. Since the paper is published once a month, it is difficult for the staff to overcome timeliness in composing the articles. It is often times arduous to satisfy and entertain the tastes and whims of the diverse readers. Our readers include pupils from the first to the twelfth grades, teachers, parents, and other adults in the community, as well as pupils and personnel in other schools with whom we exchange papers. Collecting and writing material for the paper does not complete the work of the staff. With the able assistance of Miss Arnold and her Office Practice group, the paper gets into print. The work done by this group in- volves much careful planning and arrangement. Proof-typing, proof-reading, typing of stencils and running them off on the mimeograph all require a large amount of time. The publication would not be complete without the illustrations which help to make the paper attractive and interesting. Credit for the drawing goes to Clifford Hurst, Charles Frasure, and Dean Ellis. After the pages of the paper have been mimeographed, then it is the duty of the staff to arrange the papers together in their proper order staple them; write the names of the subscribers on the copies, and distribute them to the proper places. Even though the primary purpose of the staff is to publish the school paper many benefits can be derived from such a project. The group agree that they are more conscious of the values of a daily newspaper and the various tasks and duties connected with its issuance. The members of the group enjoy reading the experiences and activities of pupils in other schools. By observing other school papers and by having the experience of writing the different articles, the students have a desire to develop originality and improve upon their own styles of writing. 5L S. emorS The senior class presented a three-act play entitled We Shook the Family Tree'' on January 12, 1950. This was a very humorous comedy with a few of the hilarious parts being: Elmer's wearing knickers and argygle socks, Gaynard's coming out in his green striped shorts, and the fight between Gaynard and Charles Wentlender (Elmer's father). The idea of Paige (Beverly Neuberg) sending old love letters of the Dol-sons' to the neighbors also added quite a bit of humor. The climax of the play was Mary Lou's entering in her formal and Elmer's wearing his first long trousers as they left for the prom. M. Lawrence, C. Frasure, M. Bryan, G. Robinett, E. Alexander, M. L.

NOW HEAR THE VOICES LIFTED IN SONG The Girls Glee Club has taken part in a number of activities throughout the school year. One of our first and biggest events was to join with the band in the presentation of the annual minstrel. Two ensembles from the glee club had special attractions in this program. One ensemble, dressed in Indian costume, sang a novel arrangement of Ten Little Indians . The other, attired in the dress of the Old South sang Carolina In The Morning . West Carrollton was the hostess for the Miami Valley Journalism meeting in November, and the Glee Club furnished selections for the entertainment at the afternoon and evening sessions. A sacred Cantata, The Music of Christmas , by Ira B. Wilson, was given on December 20th. The Y-Teen girls contributed much to this program by illustrating the songs in pantomime. A representative group from the Glee Club also sang carols at the County Infirmary. Other events of the year include singing for the Hi-Y and Y-Teen induction service, taking part in the music contest at Miami University, and contributing several numbers for the Spring Festival. The local P. T. A. and the Teen Canteen program over WLW-D have called on the Glee Club for talent at various times. As the last event of the year, the Glee Club will furnish music for the Baccalaureate Service. “OL Sony of OL JarL The mixed chorus, under the direction of Mr. Kaiser, was organized in the early part of the year as a volunteer group. It consist ed for forty students. The first appearance of the chorus was for the P.T.A. They sang the songs, I Love A Lassie , Sit Down Moses and Rollin' Down To Jordan , in three and four part arrangements respectively. Not having an experienced group for part singing, we devoted much of our time to union singing for just plain singing enjoyment. Of course, Mr. Kaiser would add a few three and four part songs which were harder to sing, but were finally mastered. Our accompanists were Patty Price and Otis Skillings. firtt Row: G. Krebs, M.

Smith On November 18 our school band and glee club presented the Plantation Minstrels in the school auditorium. Every seat was filled and a fine evening of entertainment was enjoyed. The show was very colorful — the uniformed appearance of the glee club and band, Rudy Smith, the solemn interlocutor, the highly colored suits of the end-men, and the effective lighting and staging of numbers by our stage manager and light crews, added to the success of the minstrel show. Highlights of the minstrels were the jokes and antics of the end-men, the audience singing I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles , the swing music by our dance band, and the singing and dancing of Dick Barnes to the song Dark-town Strutters Ball . Particularly clever were the numbers presented by the girls ensemble and the glee club. The evening sped rapidly on, and after the very funny and musically interesting Bamboo Tree number, as sung by Donna Smith and Doyle Lonaker, the entire company went into a rousing closing chorus of So Long Everybody. Everyone, audience and performers alike, seemed to experience a thrill and feeling of pleasant satisfaction with the parts they played in the Plantation Minstrels of 1949-1950. Bottom: D. Smith, M.

Hl-Y The West Carrollton chapter of the National Hi-Y program began the year with seventeen old members. Sixteen new members were inducted at the annual joint Hi-Y and Y-Teen induction service at the Methodist Church. Many interesting and varied programs were presented at the bi-weekly meetings. Some of the outstanding ones included a film and talk on the Navy by Chief Thomas; a discussion led by Rev. Walborn of the Grace Lutheran Church; a talk with illustrated drawings by Rev. Skillings of the Pilgrim Holiness Church; a discussion on the Yardstick by Vearl Hagen; and a discussion on Understand Other Nations led by two German exchange students; a talk on Sportsmanship by Mr. Carr. One of the highlights of the year was the banquet, swim, and talk by Mr. Young. That evening concluded with a tour through the Dayton Y.M.C.A. The Hi-Y sponsored an intramural basketball team which did fairly well, finishing second in their league. The club bought jerseys for the team to wear for this year and future years. The club also sponsored a well-known speaker for an outstanding school assembly. He was Niklanthe Chavre, an Americanized Hindu; and he spoke on The Future of World Peace. During the Christmas season, the club distributed baskets to needy families in the community. The Hi-Y was host to the Fourth Annual Hi-Y-Tri-Hi-Y Assembly. Seventy-six town and country clubs were present. The guest speakers were Drs. Frank D. Slutz and Gaston Foote. During the summer of 1949, the Hi-Y sent two officers to Camp Nelson Dodd. Gaynard Robinett and Jerry Wickline represented the club.

The year's activities in Y-Teens opened with a bonfire to which all girls interested in joining were invited. Twenty-nine girls responded making the year's membership forty-four. These new members were received into the organization at a County-wide Induction Service at the N.C.R. Auditorium on October 16, and at the local Y-Teen, Hi-Y service at the Methodist Church, December 4. Our Club meets every two weeks, frequently joining with the Hi-Y. Speakers this year were Miss Betty Lesson, Rev. Harvey Hahn, Rev. Skillings and Mr. Carr. Discussions were conducted by Mr. Huffman and by two German boys studying in this country. At one meeting the film Prejudice was shown. The Y-Teens furnished the pageantry for the Glee Club Christmas Cantata. We were hostesses at a Christmas party for the Hi-Y, who in turn entertained us in May at a picnic at Germantown Dam. The club contributed to the Religious education program in our school, to the Community Chest, and to the county project of furnishing a quonset hut for Y-Teens in the Philippines. Money for these projects was earned by concessions at the football games and by a candy booth at the Y-Teen Carnivol in Dayton, April 14. Mary Bryan was the club's representative at the state Y-Teen conference at Denison College last June, and Mary and Dessie attended the county officers' training school at the Y.W.C.A.

Miss Anstaett has been librarian three years, and the girls have been helping for different lengths of time. Juanita Zennie has the longest record with three years' experience whereas Willma Mays has the shortest with four months. Both are seniors. Three of the group are Juniors. Phyllis Hartman and Carolyn Curp have one year each and Mary Linville, two years. Two Sophomores, Donna Fair with one year and Sue Barlow with two years, complete the group. The duties of an assistant librarian are many and varied. They range from giving information to repairing books. An assistant must be able to keep the card file straight, shelve books correctly, give reference information, mend books, keep magazines, and encyclopedias straight, keep Fines Owed and Fines Collected in order, and help to process books for use. Besides the regular library staff there is some help given by students during their leisure time. This work is voluntary. A member of the library staff gets from V4 to Vi credit a year, depending on how many days a week she is in the library and how helpful she is. Our library services not only high school but grades 1-8. Grades 4, 5, and 6 have books issued to them twice a month. Teachers of grades 1-4 get books as needed. An open shelf which holds more than 1,000 new books was added to the library on March 29, 1950. Over 600 new books are added each year. These books are selected by Miss Anstaett and include all age limits. Our large list of books range all the way from history, biography, and fiction to mystery and comedy. We now have over 5,000 books in our library. We also have a large list of magazines, 34 in number, which are for the benefit of students and teachers alike. Back Row: D. Fair, J. Dechant, P.

Conso|es Dean Ellis J Charles Krull — Praetor Jerry Throckmorton — Scriba Jackie Duncan — Quaestor The local Latin Club is a chapter of the national organization, the Junior Classical League, the purpose of which is: To hand on the torch of classical civilization in the modern world. The club pin features this torch of classical civilization. The local club's emblem, displayed in the picture above, was made by Bob Elliott and Dean Ellis. At the club meetings old Latin customs are reenacted. The Latin I club enjoyed the campaign oratory of its candidates for office before casting their ballots. Highlights of the year's program were Latin games and a Roman wedding. The games were sponsored by the Latin II club to which the freshmen were summoned by scrolls proclaiming their presentation. The games featured foot races, discus, javelin, gladiator combats, and chariot races. After the auspices were taken, three factions competed: Aquila, the eagle; Leo, the lion; and Draco, the dragon. Winners were presented the laurel wreath, a well-earned tribute, as competition was keen and many brave contestants bit the dust (concrete floors to them!) in the furious struggle. The Latin I club presented to the sophomores the Roman wedding, at which Publius Throckmorton and Decima Craft were joined in marriage by Pontifex Cornelius Jump and Flamen Tiberius Skillings, after their hands had been joined by Pronuba Patricia Gilbert. Preceding the wedding, Marcus Hawkins and Laurentius Krull, fathers of the lucky pair, had arranged the marriage at the betrothal ceremony. Of course the men were arrayed in their glistening white togas, and the bride in her flame-colored veil, put on by her mother, Arria Duncan, after she had parted the bride's hair into six locks by the point of a spear. The wedding procession was a hilarious affair with its flaming torches, trumpet calls, and cries of Talassio. It led to the groom's house where the bride was carried over the threshold by her happy husband. Each member of the club reads at least two books with Roman or Greek background. Miss Anstaett has very kindly added to the library a number of such books for our use. IRON WOMEN TOP Fir � Row: M. Zink, G. Krebs. P. Throckmorton, B. Baker, J. Dechant, D. Foir, L. McNabb, L.

The organization aims to foster good sportsmanship and athletic ability on the part of its members, and to encourage each one to show an interest in her personal appearance. Membership in the organization is open to any girl in the junior or senior high school who is interested in sports. The awards were letters for 100 points earned in intramural games or in games with outside teams. The club participates in a variety of activities. Hockey, badminton, basketball, volleyball, bowling, baseball, tennis, and dancing all come in for a part in the program. SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER Loft to Right: B. Short, M. Lawrence, G. Morton, D.

There were teams made up of girls from all four high school classes. There was a captain for each team. The teams met at For-tener's Bowling Alley two nights a week for a ten week period. There was an honor roll each week made up of those who had the highest scores on each of the teams. Before the tournament began, Mr. Fortener gave the girls a few tips on the art of good bowling. A movie was presented and the girls were shown the proper stance, how to hold the ball correctly, and were given other tips on how to become a good bowler. At the end of the ten week period, the two teams with the highest scores competed against each other for the championship. Each girl on the winning team was awarded a trophy. The season ended quite successfully, with the girls looking forward to another exciting year with the sport of bowling. THE YELLOW SHADOW Top, left — N.

TELEVISION West Carrollton High School was represented several times this year on the Teen Canteen program at Station WLW-D. Teen Canteen is sponsored by Coca Cola, and is a part of the broadcasting station's junior Achievement program. Among our contributions were a baton exhibition by our majorettes, piano solos by Norman Taylor, Barbara Beckman, and Otis Skillings, vocal selections by Donna Smith, Nancy Locke, and the Triple Trio, and a discussion of school activities in which over a dozen students participated. Cjr • • A —jninina rm or The Wes Carrollton Junior Red Cross has really done a tremendous job this past year. Many more students than ever before have been included and our extensive program has grown broader with each passing month. Beginning in September, as a continuation from last summer, students began to go out to Brown Hospital at the Veterans Administration for work in Central Supply. At first, these groups were only on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, but early in 1950 two new groups were added — one on Wednesday and the other on Friday. The leaders of these groups are Jane Dechant, Donna Fair, Lucille Scothorn, and Charlotte Scothorn. They work with almost forty girls in preparing surgical dressings for immediate use. For Fire Prevention Week, Dick Sheppard made a speech at the Fellowship Club in Dayton and Charlotte Scothorn made an assembly speech. At Christmas time, West Carrollton sent groups to the Veterans Hospital to work on Christmas decorations and a small group went to Wright-Patterson Air Service Command to decorate the Air Depot there. Local merchants were asked for donations of candy and almost 100 bags were distributed at the field on Christmas Day. On March 10, the Junior Red Cross sponsored their first school dance. During the Lenten season ten dozen eggs were hard-boiled and colored for the patients at Dayton State Hospital. Dick Sheppard was chairman of Junior Red Cross this year with Charlotte Scothorn and Donna Fair as junior counselors. Donna and Charlotte were appointed members of the Gift Box Committee of Montgomery County and Dick was head of the Veterans Hospital Committee. Even though our school year ends in May, the work of the chapter will go on throughout the summer. We wish to thank Mrs. Youngberg who has done a wonderful job in her first year as our advisor.

On September 5th, we participated in the massed band event at the Montgomery County Fair. Following that, came half-time performances at nine football games, two of which were away from home. On October 21st, our band displayed a wonderful spirit, in spite of the downpour, by marching and playing proudly in the University of Dayton Centennial celebration. A week after the closing of the football season, the band took part in the Plantation Minstrels, which required special music and instrumental numbers. The band gave performances at all the home basketball games. They added pep and color to these games. Half-time twirling performances were given by our drum major- ettes, who were dressed in new red uniforms and caps. Then followed preparation for instrumental solos at Miami University. Five instrumentalists earned a superior rating. They were Barbara Beckman, Daryl Garrison, Dick Pauley, Patty Price, and Otis Skillings. Our trombone and clarinet quartets earned the rating of excellent and good respectively. In April our band travelled to Oxford, Ohio for the annual music festival of Southwestern Ohio Schools. A week later, we performed in our auditorium at our own annual Spring Music Festival. May brought more programs for the band, topped off by a Memorial Day Parade, and a possibility of a concert at Chautauqua during the summer months. on juirade When the University of Dayton was celebrating its one hundreth anniversary, Dayton and near-by high schools were asked to participate in a parade which was one event in a series of events for that institution. School bands and floats added a colorful note. Our Pirate Frigate, drawn down Main Street by the school station wagon, in a downpour of cold rain, was manned by a loyal crew of fair and swarthy Pirates whose cry was always, Go, Pirates, Go!

The Pirates began their fall sport two weeks before the first day of school. It was football on the go. The squad was quite large but after a few days of drilling, twice a day in the hot sun, it soon began to shrink. By the time of the first game there were just four teams, two varsity and two reserve, about the same as usual. To inaugurate the season and build up a little spirit the student body, led by the cheer leaders, held a snake dance and pep rally. This well attended function took place the night before our first game with our arch rival, Miamisburg. Most of the players were inexperienced and this would be their first time on the field of battle; nevertheless, they had spirit and hoped to win. They didn't win, probably due to the feeling which one gels when first on a field. The inexperienced lacks the knowl- edge of the tricks of the game and even forgets his own plays. But this didn't kill their spirit and again they hoped to win the next game. The next week they trained hard and were ready for the game with an opponent of the same size and in the same league. They were to meet West Milton, who had not been defeated for the last ten games. The two teams were very evenly balanced as the score indicated. The Pirates broke West Mil-ton's ten game win streak with a six to nothing win. This was the only game the Pirates won throughout the season. Even though the Pirates gave their best it always seemed the opponents were stronger than expected. Most of Carrollton's leltermen will graduate this year, but many will be returning next season to make it a more successful season, we hope. HARD TIMES First Row: R. Smith, W. Stoker, F.

Some are good, some bad but all contribute to this year's memories. Sorrowful but true, this season was one of the poorest ever for the won and lost column. Having won only five games this season it is also the poorest victory record in Coach Bogan's career, certainly a far cry from his 1947-1948 Pirates who won seventeen and scored seven hundred and thirty points for an all-time West Carrollton record. Only Dick Beckett, this year's captain, was on that 1947-48 squad. Beckett was also the only experienced varsity player held over last year. Thus, we were quite inexperienced. This year's squad members will always remember the tough schedule they played. There were no breathers. It is believed this year's squad played the toughest schedule of all past Pirate teams. This year's opponents included such powerhouses as class A's: Roosevelt, Fairmont, Oakwood, Miamisburg, Northridge, Lebanon; and class B's: Eaton, West Elkton, Jefferson, Waynesville, West Mil-ton, and Seven Mile. These class B teams were all the top teams in their respective counties. With next year's schedule being somewhat shorter, and experienced players being more plentiful the Pirates look forward to a more prosperous season. THE BENT TWIG Firit Row: J. Graham, B. McNabb, B.

There are many latent possibilities which the coaches expect to develop. The Junior High supported three teams this year, the seventh, eighth, and ninth, each playing a regular schedule. Under Coach Eisele's tutorage the eighth grade squad de- veloped into a very powerful quintet. Much is expected of them in the future. The Freshman Five didn't have a very impressive record in the win column. They were greatly excelled in height in all their games. This lack of height was the major factor against them, but they are expected to develop into hardwood winners. TRACK AND FIELD Standing: C. Hurst, D. Parks, D. Hurst, D. Thompson, R. Brown, R.

Although we lost all-state pole-vaulter, John Throckmorton, by graduation last year he was replaced by a very capable and promising sophomore, George Alexander. In addition to Alexander's outstanding performances, we had three school records broken this year. Clyde Cornett broke the high jump record; Paul Wright broke the broad jump record and Ernest Courtney bettered the mile record. As these boys and many others are back next year, West Carrollton should continue to be a track powerhouse. IT HAPPENS EVERY SPRING First Row: E. Weidnor, E. Wilson, D. Thompson. J. Sisk, C.

However, they won the big one by beating Miamisburg. The Seniors will be badly missed as all are boys who have played three years: C. Wentlander, catcher; J. Wickline, first base, and Alexander and Beckett, outfielders. We expect a good year in 1951 with the rest of the squad plus the addition of Kenny Haught, a pitcher; Bob Dearing, first base-man, and Billy Sturgill, an infielder, along with many untried freshmen. This will be our first year in a baseball league as the Southwestern Buckeye football league has been expanded to six teams and will have a baseball league. First Row: D. Edwards, D.

A fine group of golfers and fellows who met some of the finest teams in the state — Hamilton Public, Oakwood, Chaminade and Fairmont, only to mention a few of them. We play an independent schedule allowing us to choose our opponents, and tough ones at that! During the season we participated in twelve matches, the Tri-State Tourney at Hamilton, and the District Tourney in Day-ton. Despite losses greater than wins, we feel that we met fine sportsmen and played the game as true sportsmen play it. The fellows in the first row represented our first line of defense: Mumma, 1st; John- son, 2nd; Edwards, 3rd, and Link, 4th. The fellows in the second row will be aiding our schedule in 1951. As coach, I would like to express appreciation for the sportsman-like attitude of the fellows, and for their cooperation during the season; to Mr. Shade and Mr. Russell who had to put up with our absences and transportation problems; and last, but by no means least, to Miamisburg Mound Country Club and its membership for allowing us to use their course for home matches and practice. May the golfing season of 1951 be as profitable. M. E. Huffman W. Hartman, C. Wentlender, R. Brown N. Gustin, P. Wright, E.

Under the able leadership of the five first grade teachers — Mrs. Dorothy Banker, Mrs. Jane Graham, Mrs. Mable Rice, Miss Ada Steller, and Miss Helen Wellbaum, we are looking forward to having an exceptional second grade for the coming year.
