Journalism Each year in early September a fresh group of aspiring and eager students enter the portals of the Journalism room for the first, but not the last time, all striving for a fundamen- tal purpose-to publish the Lagondan and the Oracle. The journalism class, while its primary responsibility is to publish the yearbook and the newspaper, is not Without aid. Many faculty members and students generously contribute to these publications with pictures and copy. Each member of the class has his special work to do, and whether he is working on a story for the paper or organizing a page for the yearbook, you can be sure that he has given his best. Millicent Morris was editor of the 1950 Lagondan with Bill Bunyan assisting as business manager. All members of the class contributed to the yearbook. Carolyn Fulton was editor of the Oracle with Don Forgarty as assistant editor, and Jim Fulk did a good job as the Oracle business manager. Barbara Hutchins was responsible for the features While Don Gowen Wrote the sports. Contributing copy for each issue were Bill Bunyan, Charlene Burley, Sherrie Can- trell, Phyllis Coon, Richard Knuckey and Millicent Morris. Rich- ard Knuckey also took pictures for the Lagondan and Oracle. Loren Kemp, Merle Pressnall, Bill Bunyan, Sherrie Cantrell, Jim Fulk and Don Fogarty solicited advertising, and Irene Tor- bet handled the exchanges. Miss Thelma Bussard is the journalism instructor.

The Norsemen eked out a one-point win over East on the home maples after two sizzling overtimes. At Dodge City's invitational tourney, Winfield lost in the se ni-finals to Dodge City. East took the tournament while Dodge City was second. Winfield again took it on the chin at the Regional held at Ark City when Wellington defeated them for the third time this year. Thus, Winfield failed to qualify for the State meet. Bill Medley coached the B team with 4 wins and 10 losses.

Thegifted racquet men no doubt owe much of their success to the well-experienced Curley Vaughan who has coached tennis for the past 33 years. Results of the season included wins over Newton, Chilocco, Hutchinson, Ark City, East, Augusta, and Kiowa. In tourney play Mel Hillier copped first in singles at Hutch- inson and combined with Dan Parmenter to take the doubles in the Ark Valley meet here. David Snyder won the singles in the Ark Valley and joined Fred Chen to win the doubles at Hutchinson. Bob Storey and Frank Scarth took second place in the Ark Valley doubles. The team scored 13 points to take first place honors. Identification of pictures on opposite page Top Row, left to right- Snyder and Parmenter at practice, Reed, Storey, Scarth, and Palmer. A .

' Baseball At press time the Viking baseballers had played ten games, winning five and losing five. Defeats at the hands of El Dorado, Wichita North, Wichita East, Chilocco, and Wellington were matched by victories over Hutchinson, Chilocco, St. Johns, and a pair of victories over El Dorado. After defeating El Dorado twice during the regular season, the locals lost to the Wildcats in the district tournament. A game with St. Johns remains to be played, and the Vikings will be fighting to finish the season above the 500 mark. Bill Staerkel coached the Viking baseball team.
