1935 Bulldog Gricisters Were Twice Victorious Two victories, seven defeats, and one tie make up the re- cord of the Bulldog gridiron warriors for the 1935 season. Starting out in great form, the Arks posted two victories over non-conference opponents, only to fluke out in their first conference tilt, dropping a 34-O game to Hutchinson. The next four weeks saw the Bulldogs losing to ElDorado, Capitol Hill, Augusta, and Pratt, respectively. It was in the next game that the Bulldogs played the best football of the entire season, pulling out a 13-13 tie with the Newton Railroaders. The Arks traveled to Newkirk and were humbled 12-7 by the Oklahomans' passing attack. In the final game of the season, the Bulldogs surprised dope- sters by holding a heavier Crusader eleven, which was picked to win by at least three touchdowns, to a lone touchdown-made in the first three minutes of play. There were thirteen boys who recieved letters on this year's football squad. Seven of these are graduating, leaving six around which to build next year's team. Those who graduate this year are Paul Quinn, Cole Daily, George Griffith, Aldo Orin, Dale Hines, Louis Abernathy, and Alfred Howard. At right end we had Paul Quinn, a lanky lad who demon- strated his pass-snagging ability in the Capitol Hill game. On the other end position was Joe Stafford who was short, but made up for his lack of height with good, hard playing. Tackle positions were held down by Cole Daily, a stalwart heavy player who started out slow and came out in the final game of the year to play his best game of the season, and George Griffith, a 225 pounder who made the going plenty tough for any enemy ball-lugger who happened to try his side of the line. At the left guard Aldo Orin filled the bill very well, break- ing through the line many times to stop opposing ball-luggers in their tracks. Other guards who lettered this year are Thomas Ashburn and Marvin Shackleford, a sophomore and a junior who played outstanding football, plugging up the center of the line very effectively thus forcing the opposing teams to resort to end runs. Five players earned letters in the backfield. They are Ken- neth Steele, Robert Wilson, Louis Abernathy, George Pitts, ani Alfred Howard. Kenneth Steele played quarterback for the first half the season after which he was shifted to halfback. He was the hardest hitter on the team and played his hardest from the opening whistle until the final gun. Robert Wilson, playing halfback, was shifted up to second team quarterback in place of Abernathy who went to first tcanx when Steele was shifted to half. Abernathy, diminutive quarter- back, was a good, steady player and a capable safety man. The remaining two backfield lettermen are George Pitts, a junior, who developed into an excellent passer and looks like a comer for next year's eleven, and Alfred Howard, a good, steady halfback who showed up well on defense, a fact which he very aptly demonstrated in the Wellington game.

Speeclcrs are Jolly -lypists, H-the Youngest!! ls Speech play Come on, roll those peanuts. I think I'm going to win. And she did. Betty Brenz won the peanut rolling contest at the Speeders party in January for the initiation of new members. The goal of every typing student, Speeders Club, was under the direction of Miss Daisy Matney, typing instructor. Require- ments for the club are that Hrst year typing students must write 40 words a minute the first semester, and 45 words a minute the second semester. Second year typing students must write 50 words a minute, and all are required to have 85 per cent accur- acy. The club meets the first, thi1'd, and fifth week of every six weeks on Tuesday evening. Officers a1'e chosen every six weeks by means of a speed test. The one making the highest score in speed plus accuracy is the president, next highest vice-president. and third highest secretary and treasurer. First six weeks officers were Merna Wright, president, Alice Lewis, vice-president, Jessie Wright, secretary and treas- urer. Second semester officers were Alice Lewis, president, Mer- na Wright, vice-president, Genevieve Wright, secretary and treasurer, Virginia Day, Ark Light reporter. 'Twas Friday the 13th, but the play must go on--so the public speaking class, defying the fates, presented The Young- est by Philip Barrie as their annual speech play. The Youngest is, as the title implies. centered around the ambitions of the youngest son, Richard, of the wealthy but dominating Winslow family. He wished to pursue a literary career but his elder brother, Oliver, who holds the strings to the family purse, is very opposed to his ambition. He and Mark, the teasing brother, can not understand why Richard is not willing to work as they do in the pin factory left to them by their father. His mother and his married sister, Agusta, agree with his bro- thers, but his younger sister, Muff, and Allan, his brother-in-law feel that Richard has a right to choose his own life. These sentiments are echoed by Nancy Blake, a friend visit- ing Muff. She makes a bet with Muff that she can arouse Richard to dominate his family in a week. Muff readily takes her up on it, and there follows general family revolution. Richard makes his own terms, to which his family are only too ready to agree, and wins the fair Nancy. The leading roles were taken by Virginia Day HS NHUCY, and Jack Hall as Richard. John Tufts portrayed Oliver, the elder brother, Douglas More played the part of Mark, the smart aleckg Alice Newman took the part of Muff, the fun-loving younger sister, Lucille Sharpe played Augusta, the bored, married sister, Alan, her husband, was played by Willis Payton, Doris Treaclway portrayed Mrs. Winslow, mother of this odd brood. Kathleen Piisterer played Katie, the maid. The play was directed by J. D. Davis, public speaking in- structor. Bob lVlcClanahan and Bob Faulconer were business managers and Helen Dor1'ance and Will Etta Long were property managers. PAGE 22 li ETTY M ATT!-I EWS General- ,l'c-p Club.
