Page 9 nog ANU UHEHESTHA Directed by Paul Painter, the Winfield high school symphony orchestra Worked hard this year to maintain its former high standards. As a homeroom the orchestra has been active. It led the way in the Invasion Day contest for stamp and bond purchases. Orchestra members contributed stamps for organization bonds to be used for music after the War. The orchestra was honored by being invited to play the annual Olmstead Memorial concert. This was the fifth time that the Olmstead invitation had been extended to the high school or- chestra. They also played an assembly program. Theatre orchestra performed at all ot the school plays and added several new numbers including Porgy and Bess , Connecticut Yankee , and Girl Crazy to its repertoire.

Pattie Reiter was the student conductor of the band with Elizabeth Evans, assistant. Page 10 VIKING VUEM5 The Winfield high school vocal department under the direction of Mrs. Foster Newland has had an active season which was high-lighted by their Christmas program. All of the choruses, the senior high girls ensemble, and the string ensemble took part in this concert. These ensembles gave programs of Christmas music at the Chamber of Commerce and at the hospital at Strother Field. The choruses and ensembles gave several junior and senior high assem- blies which were marked by the warmth of the students' reception. The Treble Clef club, a junior high girls ensemble, was organized this year to further interest in choral chamber music. The group made its debut at a senior high assembly. The department furnished the music for the Baccalaureate service.

HASKETBHH The Winfield basketeers with Ollie Thomas at the helm completed the Ark Valley league season with three wins and eleven losses placing seventh in the league standings. Although the Blue and White got off to a shaky start they came right along and by the end of the season were one of the top teams of the Valley. The Thomasmen played two pre-league games taking Moline 29 to 27 and losing to Anthony 19 to 17. For their first league tussle the Vikings took on Newton, league favorites, and lost 34 to 14. The Vikings came from behind December 17 to down Wichita North in an overtime contest 24 to 20. The,Blue and White then hit low ebb as they lost to El Dorado 20 to 15, Hutchinson 17 to 14, and their arch rival, Arkansas City, 22 to 15, as the locals displayed poor shooting form. In their games with Wichita East and Wellington, Win- field led both teams for the first half but were overcome in the last as East won 32 to 26 and Wellington was the victor 35 to 26. Starting the second round of play the locals again met the league leading and undefeated Newton Railroaders and gave the Railers their worst scare of the season. The score changed hands five or six times, but the gun went off when Newton was ahead 22 to 20. North then took Winfield 30 to 18 on their home court, but the Vikings bounced back the next week to down El Dorado there 27 to 18, and the next night Hutchinson had to play an overtime game to win from the locals 24 to 22, The Thomasmen clashed with Arkansas City February 18 on the Bulldogs' court. The Arks won 22 to 21 on a last minute field goal. The Vikings split even in their last two encounters, winning from Wichita East 31 to 24 and losing to Wellington 32 to 29 after leading most of the way. The cagers qualified for the state meet by taking Wichita East 26 to 21 in the Arkansas City Regional Tourney and then took second place in the Re- gionals, losing to Wellington 26 to 19 in the finals. In their final game of the season the Vikings were eliminated from the State play by Newton 28 to 17 after playing the Railroaders even the first half. The senior squad members were Harry Barnthouse, Bill King, Ira Barkman, Robert Cook, Lucien Barbour, and Iack Fuller. Page 19 SEIIANAI BASKETHAH AEAAA JUNIIAH HIBH BASKETBALL The senior high second team cagers under Coach O. C. Thomas played only eight games this year winning five of them. In their first game at Newton they were swamped by the Railers, and in their second en- counter at East they lost an overtime game. Then the Viking seconds took both Arkansas City and Wellington, were soundly thumped for the second time by Newton, but came back strong to take their last three games from Arkansas City, East, and Wellington. ln addition to league games. they downed a strong Salvation Army team twice and took Burden's first team once. Under the capable coaching of R. E. Titus the 1943-44 edition of the junior high basketball team completed a successful season winning six of eight games against junior high teams. The junior cagers trimmed Newton twice which is quite a feat in itself, took three of cr four- game series from Arkansas City. and split games with Wellington. Against senior high teams Coach Titus' boys won three and lost four. They played games with Dexter, Burden, and St. Iohns. In games with the Winfield Future Farmers the juniors won the first encounter but lost the last two games. The seventh and eighth grade teams finished their season undefeated winning two games each from Arkansas City and St. Johns Academy. 'Bw Back row, left to right: Iackson, Madison, Coonce. Holman.

Page 20 SPHING EPUHTS Tennis and track were the only two spring sports this year with the cancellation oi baseball and golf for the duration. Winfield's fall Interstate tournament and Tulsa's spring tourney were both cancelled this year because of the war, but Coach T. H. Vaughan lined out a tough schedule for his boys. In duo matches the Vikings defeated Wichita East and lost close matches to Hutchinson, Arkansas City, and Wichita North: however, Lucien Barbour, defending state champion, won the singles title at the Hutchinson Invitational tournament. The local tennis squads have made an impressive record by winning tive state championships and two runner-ups in the last six years, and at press time prospects are good lor the netmen to place high in the State meet at Topeka since they won the Ark Valley at Wichita. Coach R. E. Titus had about 20 boys, including several good weight men and middle distance runners out lor track. Mr. Titus scheduled several meets for his boys and by the time the Ark Valley and State meets rolled around, they made a good showing. The Viking cindermen attended a triangular meet at Wellington, the Anthony Relays, Well- ington Invitational, Hutchinson Invitational, Ark Valley, Regional, and State meets. Ira Barkman and Bob Blake were Titus' main threats. Barkman placed in the shot and discus in every meet he attended, and Bob Blake came up with many needed points and will be back to help the Titus-men next year. Elmo Bonesteel won the school indoor obstacle course. and set a new record of 39,8 seconds. breaking last year's mark set by Glen Ward. of 39.9.

Page 32 JUNIUH HIGH SIIHIJIH The junior high student body plays a most important part in Winfield high school. Known as tree-toads and pudd1e-jumpers these small-fry have made a place for themselves. Their spontaneous enthusiasm seems unlimited, and they apply this endless source of energy to every activity they undertake. Iunior high student body officers for the year were E. L. Van Laningham, president: George McNeish, vice-president and Billie Lou Carrell, secretary. The student senate which has charge of activity points, junior high elec- tion, and other projects of the junior high is sponsored by Mrs. Pearl Bartholo- meau. Their special project for the year was to conserve electricity. Head junior high sponsors are Edna Schul, ninth grade: Carolyn Burdick, eighth grade: and Arka Shoemaker, seventh grade. Ninth grade officers were Betty Lou Harrison, president: lack King, vice- president: and Betty Brown, secretary. Guiding the eighth grade were Norman Sandell, president: Lois McNeil, vice-president: Marjorie Kuhlman, secretary: Beverly Harris, Iane Majors, representatives. Lorice Ann Miller, Ida Lou Thompson, and Marcia Fodge directed the affairs of the seventh grade. Iunior high cheerleaders showing unusual pep and originality were E. L.

In sports, the junior high really made a name for themselves. The basket- ball team made a practice of being a winning team, and the high number of tennis players was unusual. lunior Girl Reserves with Barbara Stuber as president had a most credit- able year. An old-fashioned box supper was enjoyed as the theme for the Dad-Daughter banquet. - lim Watkins, president of the junior Hi-Y, led this organization with much success. Their annual stag party was their main event of the year. Many of the junior high students' talents are revealed in the various music organizations. The junior high sextet, and the Treble Cleft club are two of the vocal ensembles. lunior high band and orchestra give basic training and prepare the students for the more advanced groups. Lila Iane Hiatt was president of the junior high International Friendship club. Reading letters from their correspondents and helping with Red Cross work were their main objectives for the year. lunior high enthusiasm reached a peak when the freshman class staged a pep assembly for the entertainment of junior high students. This was only one example of junior high activity. The loyalty shown for their organizations brought attention and admiration to these underclassmen. More power to you!!

Page 35 HEEHEATIUN Nineteen hundred cmd forty-four hailed all-school parties for both junior and senior high. A wide range of games and entertainment were made available to the students of Winfield high school. Symphony records were played in Gordon hall, and the manual shop was open. A most popular place was the snack bar at the cafeteria. Special programs were prepared and presented at each party using student talent.

Van Laningham, Billie Lou Carrell, Norman Sandell, Betty Lou Harri- son, Lorice Ann Miller, Barbara Stuber, and lim Watkins made up the junior high head committee.

Moore. Iean Thomas, Rex Dulaney, and lack Honnold with Patricia McGuire as chairman of the committee. The home nursing class under the direction of Miss Esther Treadway, assisted by Mrs. Homer Brown, consisted of all girls taking physical education. Certificates for home nursing were awarded to those passing the examination on the completion of the course. At the beginning of the year Betty Boyer, with the help of La Verne Buffum, Mary Wright, Kent Frandsen, lean Thomas, and Bob Light was in charge ol mailing Oracles to the W. H. S. service men. Last semester the typing and third hour chemistry classes took over the job under the supervision of T. H. Vaughan. Boys' military drill was started in 1942-43. It teaches the boys fundamentals in the school of the soldier, manual oi arms, and squad and platoon formations. T. H. Vaughan, R. E.

Basketball season found lack Fuller, Lucien Barbour, John Shannon, and Marlyn Harp helping make up the second team. This year marked the return of football to the Viking schedule. Taking active part in this sport were Bill Swisher, Neal Hinegardner, Harley Baxter, Rex Dulaney, Ted Pompelly, Walt Mc- Alister, lack Fuller, Bill Russell, and Jordan Roberts. Leading officers of this year were Iohn Shannon, Jack Honnold, and Sarah Stuber. As the members sailed on finally they reached the fifth year, taking the wave of activity with full sails. Iohn Shannon and Phyllis Harris graduating with the class of '43 left Bob Haney in command of the junior class. The junior banquet had The World of Tomorrow as its theme. Bob Haney was toastmaster and Rex Dulaney, Bruce Ford, and Sarah Stuber gave toasts. Norma Rounds, Barbara King, and Hope Cheeseman, the popular Swing Trio, gave out with several hot numbers. Feature of the evening was the Swing Band under direction of a former graduate, Keith Congdon. Those in charge of the banquet committees were Ioan Gardner, Patricia McGuire, Betty Boyer, Sarah Stuber and Hal Wilcox. Don Gardner, lack Fuller, Bob Haney, and Lucien Barbour were juniors representing the school in tennis. Lucien was state tennis champion that year. The junior play, Iune Mad, was a definite success with ticket sales breaking all previous records. The story was based around a high school girl who wanted to grow up F ast ! The girl, portrayed by Marilyn McAlister, got into many embarrassing situations and caused her mother, Elizabeth Evans, and father, Kay Wortman, much anxiety-to say nothing of the boy next door, Rex Dulaney. Always trying to be helpful were the servants, Walt McAlister and Betty Boyer, who did a little romancing on the side. Sarah Stuber's portrayal of the pest was most con- vincing. Patricia McGuire's flirtation with lack lionnold and James Garrison kept things inter- esting. Neal Hinegardner led a confused life as Rex's father. By this time many of our sailors had been lost at sea, stopped at various ports along the way, or secured passage on other ships. Facing a world at war made for drastic changes in many of the crew's would-be courses. Many took advantage of the three-year graduating plan. Those staying with the ship were to know a creditable year in 1943-44. Now in complete command of the student body were Iack Fuller, Betty Easterday, and Sarah Stuber. Leading the senior class was Rex Dulaney with Bill King and Dorothy Merriam as his aides. Patricia McGuire was crowned personality queen at a special ceremony between the halves of the Newton-Viking football game. Her attendants were Marilyn McAlister and Sarah Stuber. Elizabeth Evans represented the school in the Third Congressional district competition of the annual D. A. R. good citizenship pilgrimage award. The class of '44 can always say, We graduated the year they danced in W. H. S.! Yes, all-school parties were the thing of the year. Quality Street, the senior class play, was the crowning glory of dramatic achievements. This famous comedy by Sir Iames Barrie took place at the time of Napoleon and concerned the Misses Susan and Phoebe Throssel of Quality Street, Elizabeth Evans, and Marilyn McAlister, and Phoebe's romance with the dashing Valentine Brown, Bob Haney. The other characters were Patty, Betty Boyer: Miss Willoughby, Betty Dozer: Miss Fannie Willoughby, Norma Rounds: Miss Henrietta Turnbull, Barbara King: Charlotte Parratt, Patricia McGuire: Harriett, Ioan Gardner: Sergeant, Kay Wortman: Lieutenant Spicer, Rex Dulaney: En- sign Blades, Iack Honnold: Old Soldier, Kenneth Bean: a Gallant, Elden Schroeder. Seniors giving much of their time and service toward the production of the play were Ioyce Farney, Aldeene Mowder, Clara Peters, June Rose Thorn, Phyllis Bergdoll, Iean Tonkinson, Ioan Gardner, Harry Barnthouse, Iames Cate, Kay Wortman, Mary lane Faust, Richard Potter, Howard Stuber, Dean Young, Gerald Elliott, Iorzlan Roberts, Lorita Higginbottom, Lora lean Ogilbee, Ioan Cramblett, Betty Easterday, Elmer Richardson, Marjorie McKeever, Roberta Brane, Neil Cranston, Meryl Hollingsworth, and Helen Palmer. Valley coaches chose Lucien Barbour for the all-star Valley basketball team and Harry Barnt- house for the second all-star team. Jack Fuller and Ira Barknian received honorable mention. Bill Hutton, class magician, was ping-pong champion of the recreational nights. Lorita Higginbottom, Ioan Gardner, and Aldeene Mowder were seniors making honors in art. The senior luncheon at Thanksgiving had the largest attendance on record with Autumn as the theme for decorations. We could drool on forever about this wonderful class of ours, but to bring memories to an end-who will forget the Mother Goose senior banquet and skip-day '? Decorations, speakers, and good food all added up to make the best banquet ever. As this class dons their caps and gowns they, as every graduating class before them, feel somewhat reluctant to leave W. H. S. Six years they have walked its halls and their teachers have become true friends. Still, they are happy and eager to face the future, for who knows of the things to come? Autographs Page 3.11
