Light she was and like a fairy, And her shoes were number nine Herring boxes, without topses Sandals were for Clementine. Oh, my darling, Oh, my darling, Oh, my darling Clementine, You are lost and gone forever, Dreadful sorry, Clementine. H .. ., , ,xx I3 ' 'S L is Strangers Arrive! Say, Daughter, what's that thar big pile o' sandy-yellow stuff, yonder? I don't rightly know, Paw, lessen it's one o' them thar new-tangled gold mines. Let's do a bit o' prospectin', Clem, and see what we can see!

H. S. Clementine will find her long skirts are still in style, but Prospecting Pete will probably be puzzled to see all them thar husky young lads working hard with pencils and papers instead of with picks and shovels. Both of them will discover-ah-but we have a whole book to tell of their experiences as the old -49'ers visit the present-day 49'ers, Follow Prospecting Pete And Clementine Administration and Faculty ...... page 9 Seniors .................................... page l7 Underclassmen ........................ page 27 School Life .............................. page 37 Activities .........,.,..........,......... page 43 Sports ..............,,..,.....,....,........ page 69 Senior Statistics ........,........,.... page 87 As they visit B.

WE DEDICATE THIS COMET TO TO TO that kindly prospector who seeks and finds those nuggets of human character in the boys and girls he leads along the trails of science ,... him who helps the young men of the B.H.S. Hi-Y club along the paths of success ,... him who guides the graduating class through their last year of high school ,... To HERBERT E WOLFE 1 849 could offer no view like this From a i949 airplane was photographed this view of a portion of the community to which come Clementine and Prospect- ing Pete. ln the right cen- ter may be seen the large Bellevue High School mine as well as the smaller mine, the junior High. Near them is the U.S. Post Office. South of the Old North Trail lies Route 20 along which many modern forty- niners travel westward. Here Route ZO is lined with what Clementine calls trading posts g and east of them she may find the public library, rich with nuggets of informa- tion. 6 AIR VIEW of BELLEVUE in 1949 1 -iff nys JA af LN x ,xg ' .P kk.g,f I A X fr was ' ' . .4 , , E - :RR 'is' f ' W Y Do you know your reading, writing?

JUNIOR HIGH stars in magazine sale Clementine and her paw did a bit of prospecting over at the Junior High too. They heard enthusiastic students exclaim about their own Music Festival under the direction of Arch B. Krumm. Among the soloists were Shirley Wagner lpianistl, Michael Strazuiso lsaxa- phonistl, and Marva Young lvocalistl. The seventh grade sang Negro spirituals, while the eighth grade presented a variety of songs. The Junior High Band, under Nathan L. Rosenthal's direction, pres- ented several numbers. ln the magazine campaign this year, the Junior High School had three super-salesmen: Jean Swenson, Marilyn Yoder, and Pat Logan. Paw thought it was a right-smart idea for the students to have their own bicycle repair shop and a picture developing room which was installed this year. Clementine especially enjoyed watching the young-uns of the newly-resumed first grade at Junior High.

In all the hustle and bustle of writ- ing copy, drawing the dummy and meeting deadlines, there is no one to show the guests around. They investigate and see for them- selves that the editors, Donelda Christman and Marilyn Downs, with the help of an alert and hard-working staff are turning out one of the best of school annuals. TH E STAND A grand total of 2l6O hot dogs were de- voured by the many football fans at the three stands this year at Harmon Field. The '49 seniors with the help of Miss Mary Cooper, adviser, and Donelda Chrisfman, student manager, sold l32O cokes, l32O ice cream bars, in addition to candied apples, coffee, and candy. A new stand set up at the east gate and one on the south side of the field along with the one at the west gate made it more con- venient for the hungry spectators.

And jest look at them thar chests stickin' out when they'uns is talkin' about that thar' speakin' thing they call a public address system. Yes, in 1949 the Bellevue Student Council com- pleted the project they set for themselves one year ago. They purchased and installed the much-needed public address system in B.H.S. It's no wonder visitors to Bellevue were impressed by the council's accom- plishments, for they sponsored a courtesy campaign, put over the biggest and best homecoming celebra- tion in B.H.S. history, and then refereed the scholar- ship race. Quite a list of accomplishments for thir- teen representatives! 5 4 it iie.ii ... CENTER: Charles Schott, President of Senior Hi-Y and Mr. Herbert Wolfe, club adviser, treading counter- clockwisel Melvin Koch, Don Yingling, Bill Sprankel, Bill Dunn, Bob Kaiser, Bob Holstein, Wayne Todd, and Don Adams. A visitor at the Y.M.C.A. on a Monday night would find talks, programs, devotional services, and fun, as the two Hi-Y clubs of B.H.S. meet together. The clubs have been fortunate this year in hearing informal talks by business and pro- fessional men of Bellevue on many different subjects. Movies, a Mother-Son banquet, and an outing at the Y.M.C.A. camp were other programs. A political rally, staged in the B.H.S. audi- torium just before the National election, was an outstanding Hi-Y achievement, since it was the first of its kind in the history of the club and perhaps of B.H.S. Bill Dunn, as general chairman, planned details. Colorful posters and decorations and a parading band formed a setting for the speeches. Ted Fox spoke in behalf of Mr. Dewey, and Harold Colvin spoke for President Truman, with Miss Mary Cooper, social science teacher, serving as chairman. An honor came to the local club and to its president, in the election of Charles Schott as president of the District Hi-Y organization. In this capacity he also served as a member of the State Hi-Y Council when it met in Columbus. Six members, accompanied by Mr. Wolfe, adviser, attended the District Conference at Lima. Funds to send several members to Camp ,- Nelson Dodd during the summer of i949 were earned by sponsoring dances after football games and by selling electric light bulbs.

Clementine and her new gal friends romped in games after a hay ride in the fall, had a splendid time at the Orphans' Christmas Party, and danced gaily at the Hi-Y-Teen Semi-Formal. The girls showed Clem their serious side when they held a discussion on International Relations with Miss Mary Cooper as guest speaker and when they planned a program on the Fine Arts. Clementine was an adopted daughter at the Mother-Daughter Banquet in May. She also joined in the seniors' farewell to Y-Teen life at the senior slumber party before gradu- ation.

The Zellah Bell chapter of the Future Teachers of America is the newest organiza- tion in B.I-l.S. Its name honors Miss Zellah Bell, a former teacher of most of the members. After the initiation of the fourteen charter members on February I6, luncheon meetings were held every two weeks in the home eco- nomics laboratory for brief programs on the teaching profession. Then, in order that the future teachers might be aided in making a choice of teaching levels, members were given opportunities to do substitute teaching in the various grade levels and in high school. MEMBERS The complete list of charter members in- cludes four seniors: Nancy Arnold, Barbara Bandy, Marilyn Downs, and Jean White, four juniors: Ruth Briehl, Gladys Moyer, Jack Weasner, and Peg Wilhelm, four sophomores: Marilyn Lutz, Nancy Lou Mitchell, Shirley Mizer and Nancy Wolfe, and two freshmen: Marcia Drexel and Joyce Koutzman.

ROSENTHAL ...I jine this hyar BAND? Concerts given by Bellevue High School's Symphonic Band of fifty-six pieces drew large audiences in l949, especially for the annual concert. The Marching Band aroused enthusiasm at football games with music and intricate marching formations. A smaller group, the Pep Band, played for basketball games, and under a student director, Scottie Abell, played for cheering practices. Occasionally assisting the regular twirlers were Pat Arnold, Norma Radkey, Gail Samp- son, and D-icky Heyman. Those whose names are starred once played in the Marching Band only, those with two stars, in Symphonic Band only. A 'l' in- dicates Pep Band as well as Marching and Symphonic Bands. The band's rapid development is aided by six-weeks of summer school classes conducted by Director Rosenthal. Clementine and Pete just couldn't keep quiet when the band began to play.

A tug of war?-well, this picture symbolizes the keen rivalry of the three senior home rooms in the race for' the scholarship plaque. Don Yingling, ileftl representing room ll7, received the coveted trophy for his room the first grade period. The next two periods, Bill Dunn lcenterl received the trophy for room 2lO. The fourth grade period, Norbert Brown, lrighti representing room lO8, proudly car- ried it back to his room. As -the picture im- plies, when the Comet went to press it was anybody's guess as to which room would win the plaque for the last two grade periods. lt was during the third six-weeks period that room 2lO, broke the scholarship average record with a so-far all-time high of 30388. mit' 65 National Honor Society Clear And Forceful Writing Seniors: DONELDA CHRISTMAN NANCY DECKER MARILYN DOWNS JACK BAUGHMAN BILL DUNN DOLORES DUPLER BARBARA GROSS PAULINE SWEDERSKY Juniors TED BALL JOANN RICHARDS JOANN WHITE MARTHA WOODARD Adviser MISS WRIGHT 66 Qu and Scroll II Scholo rship, Cho roc ter, Leadership, Service Seniors: BARBARA BANDY TOM BEARD ALICE BEILER DONELDA CHRISTMAN MARILYN DOWNS BILL DUNN DOLORES DUPLER BARBARA GROSS TONY LUPICA CHARLES SCHOTT JEAN WHITE CATHERINE WYANT Juniors: DON DREWES ROBERT RASCHKE MARTHA WOODARD Adviser: MR, YODER National Thespians Act Well Thy Part I I SCOTT ABELL I NANCY ARNOLD A MARY BALL TED BALL BARBARA BANDY JACK BAUGHMAN TOM BEARD ALICE BEILER ' ' RUTH BRIEHL A IRENE BILLIE I MARILYN BROWN HAROLD COLVIN MARILYN DOWNS DON DREWES BILL DUNN BOB DUNN DOLORES DUPLER DICK GILDENMEISTER WILLA HOGARTH TONY LUPICA JOYCE MCKINNEY BOB MEACHAM BILL RUFFING BARBARA SIESEL HAROLD VOGEL JOANN WHITE CATH ERINE WYANT DON YINGLING Adviser: MISS SCHACHTELE Athletic Scholarship Society I 1 I I Balanced Training Senior DON YINGLING Junior DICK HICKMAN Sophomore DON ADAMS Adviser: MR.

However, the remaining team members continued the fight with the un- daunted team-spirit of all good athletes. - The Season Bellevue, 6-Fremont St. Joe, 6 Bellevue's Gridsters surprised a powerful Fremont St. Joe eleven Friday, September l l, when they put the only blemish on the Fre- monters' l948 record by battling them to a 6 to 6 tie. Ed Soldano, Bellevue's flashy little halfback, scored in the fourth period for the Redmen's only touchdown. The contest proved disasterous to the Redmen, as co-Captain Harry Coe was removed from action for sev- eral weeks with a dislocated shoulder and Jim Lepley was knocked unconscious and removed to a Fremont hospital. Bellevue, Zl-Upper Sandusky, 6 On September 24, the Redmen defeated a powerful Upper Sandusky squad at Harmon Field, 2l to 6. Terry Ruppert plunged for two touchdowns and Ed Soldano for the other. Little Toe Jim Lepley booted three con- versions. Bellevue, I2-Crestline, 24 Bellevue was handed its first grid loss of the season, October l, as Crestline trampled them, 24 to l2, at Harmon Field. Fullback Terry Ruppert bulled his way over for both of the Bellevue touchdowns. Bellevue, 24-Willard, I3 The loss of four regulars did not hinder the Redmen, October 8, as they set back the Willard Crimson Flashes, 24 to l3. Half- backs Ed Soldano, Bob Harris, and Sam De- Blase and fullback Terry Ruppert each made six of the Redmen's total. Bellevue, 0-Norwalk, 27 Norwalk accomplished what no other team has been able to do in the last two years, they held the Redmen scoreless throughout the en- tire contest and won, 27 to O, in a game, at Norwalk, October l5. Bellevue, I3-Shelby, l6 A chubby substitute tackle booted a field goal for Shelby, October 22, and changed the score from a tie to a l6-I3 victory for the Whippets in the final 30 seconds of play. Ed Soldano was the big man for Bellevue as he crossed the last white stripe twice. Milt LEPLEY CRAMER BRUCKNER KONST SOLDANO FOX KOVACS YI NGLI NG COE Bruckner grabbed a pass for the extra point. Bellevue, 20-Galion, I9 After trailing Galion the entire contest, the Redmen pulled ahead in the last three mi- nutes when Milt Bruckner caught a touch- down pass and Harry Coe booted the point that gave the Bellevue team a 20 to l9 win. Scintillating Ed Soldano plunged for both the other touchdowns. A Bellevue back fumbled on a plunge for the extra point play, but Jim Kovacs pounced on the ball in the end zone and the point was good. NINE seniors win B's in FOCTBALL Bellevue, I2-Port Clinton, I3 Bellevue ended the regular grid season, No- vember l2, when they took a l3 to l2 lacing at the hands of Port Clinton. The Redmen led all the way, but the Redskins scored a touch- down and point just before the timer's gun. Halfback Ed Soldano, playing his last high- school contest, came to the limelight again as he bucked the line for both the Bellevue touchdowns. Bellevue, I3-Bucyrus, 20 Bellevue started off in the role of giant kill- er again, November 5, as they drew first blood in the Bucyrus game, but the Bucyrusmen soon caught hold of themselves and marched on to a 20 to l3 victory over the Redmen. Milt Bruckner scored once on an end-around play and again when he grabbed a desperate pass. Harry Coe booted the extra point. The Senior Lettermen Co-Captain HARRY COE - Tackle: Knocker, in his third year on the varsity, lived up to his name, by being one of the roughest linemen in the league. His ability was well-known because he made all-league tackle for two years, despite a dislocated shoulder suffered in the Fremont St. Joseph game. Co-Captain ED SOLDANO - halfback: Eddie was high scorer for the Redmen this year which is unusual because, besides carry- ing the ball, he had the added burden of call- ing the signals. He was named to the second Northern Ohio League team at left-halfback. MILTON BRUCKNER-end: Milt, bring- ing his four years of football to a dazzling climax, was selected on the Associated Press All-Ohio First team at right end, for the second time on the all-league team, and also was chosen outstanding lineman of the league. For three years Milt terrorized opponents by his ability to catch passes and his famous end-around. JIM KOVACS-tackle: A monogram win- ner for three years, Big Jim, shifted from center to tackle in his senior year to become one of the hardest tackles on the team. DON YINGLING-guard: Don won his second major award at guard by being the pluckiest man on the team. He used his 145 pounds to advantage, often opening up holes against much larger opponents. RONNIE KONST-center: Ronnie was the strong center around which the team was built. ln addition to playing well on offense, he kept the opponents from going through his tackle on defense. BILL CRAMER-Tackle and guard: Bill won his first major award by being a constant worker on offense and defense. His determ- ined play in the line was a distinct asset to the team. JIM LEPLEY--quarterback and halfback: Jimmy played in the first three games, being taken- out of the Crestline game with a broken collar-bone. His speed and defensive ability was greatly missed by the team throughout the year. TED FOX-quarterback: Ted was first- string quarterback until his leg was broken in a practice session shortly before the first game. His absence was a blow to the team. Major letters were earned by the following underclassmen: Donald Baldwin, Terry Rup- pert, Santo Nasanti, Bob Dunn, Dick Hick- man, Sam DeBlase, Jack Drexel, Dick Keeler, and Ed Hartzell. Underclassmen who earned minor letters during the football season were the following: Ted Ball, Harold Colvin, Dick Ruffing, Roger Siesel, Claude Springer and Bill Cudnik.

I BASKETBALL five are Sectional champs COACH AYERS MANAGERS COLVIN AND KONST One of the thirty-two best teams in the state, said Tournament Manager Carl Mackey as he handed Captain Jimmy Lepley the trophy for the runners-up of the District tourney at Sandusky. This was the third honor carried home by Bellevue's fighting basket- ball quintet during the l948-l949 season, the other two being the winners' trophy from the Sectional Tournament and second place position in the Northern Ohio League. All this was pleasing to Coach Joe Ayers in his first year as head basketball mentor and to his as- sistants Kenny Sampson and Ed Allen. CAPTAIN JIMMY LEPTLEY completed his second year of varsity competition with the title of chief play-maker for the Redmen. Jimmy's skill this year earned him a position on the first team in both Sectional and Dis- trict Tourneys at Sandusky and a guard spot on the team of the mythical all-N.O.L. squad. MILT BRUCKNER, who turned on a daz- zling scoring spree, set a record for a B.H.S. player with 30 points in the Gallon tilt. Milt won first--team spots in the Sectional and Dis- trict Tourney selections, the outstanding player award in the Northern Ohio League, and a position on the third all-Ohio squad. 74 LEPLEY BRUCKNER HARRY COE didn't make many points but his rebound ability, especially in the tourna- ment play at Sandusky, was an important fac- tor in preventing last-minute rallies by the opposition. ART LONG, a junior and the Redmen's tallest player, held a forward spot for the Bellevueans. His ambidexterous shooting and rebound ability helped the Redmen in several close contests and placed him in a forward position on the second team in the Sandusky District Tourney. TED FOX, whose job was to hold down the high scoiers of the opposition, performed his task creditably. Ted received an honorable mention in the N.O.L. choices for his work. SAM DE BLASE, speedy sophomore sur- prised many' of his opponents with his shifty passes. Not having tried out for either varsity or reserves his freshman year, Sam surprised almost everyone when he moved into a first team job midway in the season and was select- ed on the second all-star team at the San- dusky Tournament, DICK HICKMAN was one of the spark plugs of the second team. On the varsity, too he often showed his ball-handling ability. SANDY NASONTI, junior, was a capable replacement at either forward or center and could always be counted on for points in any contest in which he played. DON ADAMS, sophomore, worked in smoothly with the first five and was always a consistant scorer in any game in which he participated. CLEM KOSELKE, could always find an ad- vantageous place to whip the sphere. CIem's pin-up men the VARSITY DE BLASE FOX LONG COE ADAMS KOSELKE NASONTI HICKMAN Bellevue, 38-Alumni, 37 With Captain Jim Lepley making Bellevue's first point of the year, the Redmen success- fully opened the '48-'49 cage season Novem- ber 26, by defeating a determined Alumni squad, 38-37. Bellevue, 44-Bowling Green, 42 Rallying in the hectic fourth quarter, the local lads scored a.44-42 victory here over the veteran smooth-working Bee-Gee Bobcats be- fore a capacity crowd. Bellevue, 20-Findlay, 28 The action of the preceding night and the long bus ride to Findlay produced a weary Red- men quintet, December 3, with the result that the defending State Champs of Findlay sent Bellevue home with a 28-20 defeat. Bellevue, 43-Lorain, 47 Despite their second half rally, the Redmen fell prey to a red-hot Lorain Steeler outfit, 43- 47, December 6 in Lorain. Bellevue, 43-Upper Sandusky, 39 Successfully opening their defense of the N.O.L. crown, the locals defeated the Rams of Upper Sandusky, 43-39, in an exciting con- test, which changed leads eight times. Bellevue, 44-Ashland, 42 Lady luck shone on the Redmen, December l4, as Bellevue came from behind in the last minutes to defeat the Ashland A's , 44-42, on the home court. Bellevue, 39-Willard, 34 The Redmen ran into unexpected strength at Willard, December l7, but B.H.S. managed to hand the Railroaders a 39-34 defeat for Bellevue's second N.O.L. victory. X Summary of season's GAMES Bellevue, 29-Norwalk, 31 The Redmen five suffered their first N.O.L. defeat in two years when the Norwalk Raiders handed them a 3l -29 setback. Bellevue, 43-Ashland, 44 In one of the games of a four-school holi- day Basketball Carnival played at Fremont, the Redmen were defeated in a close game by the revenge-seeking Ashland A's, 44-43. Bellevue, 39-Fremont, 38 On the following night, December 30, be- cause of bad weather the carnival games at Ashland were postponed until January l, when the Redmen managed to slide by the Ross High Little Giants, 39-38, with an exciting rally in the final canto. Fox's free throw in the final 6 seconds gave the Redmen their win. Bellevue, 47--Port Clinton, 45 Bellevue, minus the services of Captain Lepley, ran into the so-far undefeated Red- skins of Port Clinton, January 7, at the Port City, only to provide an unexpected upset by handing the Bay City rivals a 47-45 loss. Bellevue, 56-Galion, 32 The local fought to a 56-32 win over the Galion Tygers, January l4, on the Redmen's home court. Milt Bruckner broke individual scoring record with his collection of 30 points. Bellevue, 44-Mansfield, 37 The Redmen scalped the Tygers of Mans- field here, January l8, by a 44-37 score. The team of former Bellevue Coach, Vern Hoff- man, just couldn't hold the Redmen, as Bruck- ner scored l8 points to lead both teams in in- dividual scoring. Bellevue, 53-Shelby, 46 Bellevue ran into the league-leading Whip- pets at Shelby, January 2l, and returned home with a 53-46 victory. Although their first-half lead was not impressive, the Red- men's defense tightened in the second half to give them the victory, and temporary pos- session of the N.O.L. leadership. Bellevue, 40-Bucyrus, 54 The Redmen quintet was outclassed, Janu- ary 28, when the Bucyrus Redmen took the N.O.L. lead by defeating Bellevue, 54-40. Bellevue, 60-Fremont Ross, 28 The Bellevue Redmen surprised the fans, February l, when B.H.S. turned on the heat and sent Fremont Ross home with a 60-28 drubbing after Bellevue had beaten the same team by just one point in the basketball carnival, a month before. Bellevue, 45-Port Clinton, 44 The Redmen had to fight to send a revenge- 76 seeking P.C. squad home with a 45-44 defeat, February 6. Bruckner sank a free throw dur- ing the last few hectic seconds of play to give the Bellevue boys a 45-44 win. Bellevue, 52-Elyria, 51 Again Bruckner's successful last-second free throw was sufficient to hand the Elyria Pioneers a 52-5l defeat, February 8, in a game played there. This was the Redmen's thirteenth win of the season. Bellevue, 72-Crestline, 35 Bellevue, trounced the Crestline five, 72- 35, here, February ll in the final N.O.L game for the Redmen. Bellevue, 67-Norwalk, 48 Bellevue turned the tables, February l8, when B.H.S. trounced the Norwalk Raiders 67-48, here before a capacity crowd. The Redmen ended their regular season with a record of l5 wins to 6 losses and as a result, were top-seeded in the Sandusky Sec- tional Tourney, which began March l. SECTIONAL TOURNAMENT Bellevue, 52-Norwalk, 29 Bellevue entered the first round of the San- dusky Tourney, March 2, by defeating their arch-rivals, the Raiders of Norwalk, by a re- sounding score of 52-29. Bellevue, 46-Sandusky, 33 Bellevue gained revenge on Sandusky by de- feating the Blue Streaks, 46-33, before a packed house on March 4. Bellevue, 53-Port Clinton, 52 Before a crowd which jammed the Sandusky Junior High gym, in the finals, the fighting Redmen of Bellevue froze the ball for the last minute to hand the Redskins of Port Clinton a 53-52 defeat. Captain Lepley received the Sectional trophy on behalf of his team. On Sunday, March 6, drawings took place for the District Tourney, with Bellevue draw- ing Toledo Whitmer, and Mansfield drawing Fostoria.

Junior-High League for their first night of tournament play. Since requirements for play- ers in the junior-high tourney state that a player must be 15 years old or under and in the ninth grade or under, the Bellevue squad for these games was made up of players from both the freshman and junior high teams. After the contest here, the teams of the Northern District journeyed to Norwalk, where the Bellevue lads became district winners. While the Northern District games were being, played, the teams of the Southern District were competing at Galion, with Galion, the host team, taking district honors. Later, the two district winners battled it out with a final score of Galion 39, Bellevue 20. THE FRESHMAN TEAM Coach Ed. Allen, P, Miono, H. Hayes, C. Siesel, J. Moore, Eid Hartzell lcapt.J, P.

Other Dual meets were scheduled with Gal- ion, Ashland, Fremont, and Port Clinton: and entries were made in the Mansfield, Fremont, Ohio Wesleyan, and DeVilbiss relays: and en- tries were also made in the league, district, and state meets.

Bellevue had apparently won the meet, until the mile relay team was disqualified: Upper Sandusky was then declared winner. In the district meet, Jack Gabel qualified for the state meet in the shot put, and Milt Bruckner, in the mile. At Columbus, Milt placed sixth in the state, establishing a new school record of 4:3328 for the mile. Major letters were awarded to the follow- ing: Seniors: Jack Gabel, who was elected out- standing trackster, Ray Batteline, Bob Clem- ents, Lee Fritz, Jim Gabel, Jim Smith, and Jim Furlong, manager.

BASKETBALL . . . in BOYS' INTRAM URALS Prospecting Pete really enjoyed bringing his lunch practically every noon of the year, and he grew accustomed to swinging a bat or hit- ting a ball. Nearly every boy in B.H.S. competed in one or more of the intramural sports which were under the direction of Mr. Ed Allen, and man- agers, Ted Buck and Bill Dunn. The boys' intramurals closed with soft ball, which was in progress at the time this book went to press. With competition very keen in various sports, the record stands as follows: TOUCH FOOTBALL Wll'1f'leI'S-ll Winnersll 18 Robert Yingling Ted Buck Robert Stephenson Donald Schaefer Domenic Laviola Norbert Brown Ed Hartzell Chuck Siesel Paul Drewes Terry Konst Joe Branco Kenny Moyer Richard Cook VOLLEYBALL Winners-2l O Tom Beckley Jack Baughman Milt Bruckner Ted Fox Wayne Hazelback Bill Magers Jim Lepley Ed Soldano Clinton Missler Runners Up-l2l Jack Werner Melvin Koch Robert Raschke Richard Ruffing .lim Mira Dick Hickman Don Baldwin BASKETBALL Runners Up-ll8 Runners Up-ll7 Ed Hartzell Chuck Siesel Paul Drewes Terry Konst Joe Bronco Kenny Moyer Richard Cook LaMar Metzger Ga ry Adams Donald Yingling Hal Vogel Neil Friend Charles Frisch Tom Beard Jim Ruppert Bill Sprankel CHAMPS: 84 G. A. A.-- Gold all around? asks Pete Exciting games in the GlRLS' INTRAMURAL athletic schedule were played almost every Tuesday and Thursday during the school year. Championships were determined in soccer, volleyball, and basketball. ln addition, two girls' all- star basketball teams were chosen for an exhibition game on Sports Night when work of regular gym classes was also demonstrated. The girls' championship teams are pictured and listed here. Points earned by participation in intramurals lead to membership in G.A.A., eighty joints being required. WINNERS OF THE B When 250 points have been earned, the coveted girls' athletic B is the reward. Six seniors received this honor in their junior year. They are Barbara Bandy, Alice Beiler, Betty Beiler, Betty La Pata, Louise Papke, and Kitty Pittenger. Those earning the B in I949 are Dorothy Bronco, Nancy Decker, Joan Gibson, Barbara Gross, Alice Hunter, Phyllis Meyer, Loretta Nuby, Sally Ocker, Peggy Wilhelm, Kathryn Wireman, Martha Woodard, Leona Claus, Gladys Moyer, Jeanette Siesel, and Virginia Wongler.
