PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF 1949 While enjoying myself at a carnival one fall day In September, 1969, my thoughts were turned to my high school classmates. Wondering what they are doing, I decided to go into the fortune teller’s tent I was approaching. After paying my fifteen cents, the woman gazed into her crystal ball and began to tell me the miracle that have happened in the last twenty years. Jim Lake, always sports minded, has become manager of the sports department of Sears Roebuck and Company. Buck Amberg has recently placed third in the Tndianoplis speedway classic. Buck was driving a car designed by Dick Begolka. Gerry Lamb has added a new nursery and baby-sitting bureau to her nation wide chain of these establishments. This new addition is in St. Louis. Edna Brooks has taken over the vocal duties of the Chesterfield Supper Club and had as her guests Mr. Bill Ferguson and his wife, the former Darlene Baker, who has recently won the typical farm family award. Tterilyn Brandt, vice-president of Bell Telephone Company, has just contracted Bob Billiter, a famous fur trapper in Alaska, to construct a new telephone line to Nome where Betty McRoberts and Rosemary Fones are in partnership and operate a drug store. Don Douthit, noted contractor, was in the process of building an underground dairy barn for Bill Johnson. Generals Jim Polley and Eugene H. Floyd of the Army and Marines, respectively, advised this in the event of an atomic war so Bill’s prize chocolate milk-giving cows wouldn’t be injured. Mary Ryan Terrell and Donnita Cates Bateman are having their annual garden party at Mrs. Terrell’s lavish country estate. Mr. Edward R. Swearingen and his Mrs., the former Doris Leesman, are now operating a gas station and curb service restaurant near the Kentucky Derby race track where their old classmate Leon Miller has ridden to a victory on his trusty steed, Roland IT. John D. Clark, now a famous scientist, who made a vain but heroic attempt to fly to the moon is being treated by Dr. Jerry Gilbert and nurse Clara Beck in the Municipal Hospital. Jim Thompson, ace pitcher, and Joe Horrom, star shortstop of the Lawndale Lions have just hired two private secretaries, Evelyn Brown and Narola McCombs to heln them sign autographs and answer fan mail. After thanking the fortune teller for her most valuable information, I traveled merrily on my way to the popcorn stand. vfN- VWWIN ' V V '«vV«W«SV|V V f v7 Vjv«V«' : , 4 ? V N• « WtfWlY'i Vff SENIOR POEM Jirr. Lake, the president of our fair class. Says a .gal nar.ed Jo is his favorite lass. To be a coach is his desire, And many an athlete he will inspire. i % v7 7SV W VlV Now, Buck Ambers drives a red Model A, And in it he comes to school each day. He takes all the kids for a ride at noon. The time is so short—these rides end too soon. Vho is this typist whose fast finders do move? At baby-sitting she s right in the groove. In nandlinrr our money she really is fine. Gerry Lamb is the name that goes on this line. Bill Ferguson, president of the F. F. A., A farmer we re certain he111 be some day. He has a little sister, but wefre aware of this. The lipstick on his collar is from someone elsefs kiss. A D. A. R. winner, this cute little lass, Helps in the office between each class. Marilyn Jean Brandt, we've all agreed. Is the one most likely of our group to succeed. Darlene Baker, our most studious lass. Studies and studies for every class. For after this year her plans are complete, And in that white gown she 11 look very sweet. In the country this girl does live. And help to all she1!! willingly r?ive. Our dark haired girl, Clara Mae, has won Friends everywhere and enemies none. Another very brilliant boy Is Dick, mechanics arehis joy. He helps his dad on the farm, vou see. Because someday a farmer he hopes to be. Bob and Jerry, our managers rare. Often get in coach McCulloughfs hair. Jerry we know is a doctor to be. But as for Bob, we'll just wait and see. Edna Brooks is the one in our number, vrfho often through history class does slumber. She can sing so sweetly any song you might name. We are sure that her voice will bring her great fame. This quiet girl is Miss Evelyn Brown, With Doris she does chum around. Also with Cookie, whom she thinks is exquisite. And often his gas station she does visit. Sparklers do shine on their third fingers, left hand. They111 he married in June, come rain or come sand. Mary and Donnita, our engaged girls we'll call Mrs. Terrell and Mrs. Bateman before next fall. T7W77 3231 JWA tV WtVMttfMMfS ,. . v Wfiv va ftw s w ivwmf wwwtiMffl ,ala a mVV w John D. has a wonderful scientific mind, He gets all his lessons which are assigned. A book which will make him a man of renown Is this: Should Apples ?all Tip or Down? Don Douthit is our sheik, strong and tall. And for him all the girls do fall. But Atlanta girls--to his way of thinkin' Aren't nearly so interesting as those in Lincon. Torpedo's a boy with many a friend. And we know these friendships will never end. A good sport he really must be As he won an award for this trait, you see. A tall and slender girl so fair, Is hosie with the short brown hair. Vith light bulbs Rosie is really quite handy. And as a drugstore worker--she's a dandy. A chalk eraser just flew through the air. Joe's working—the trouble can't be there. But now he's smiling. Could that be it? After school in the study hall one hour he'll sit. The shortest boy in our class, you see. Is Bill Johnson, a farmer to be. He spends all his noon hours with Buck and his car, And the faster they go the more scared they are. Doris and Biles--the names go so right, •le see them together 'most every night. ..hen looking for one you surely will see The other close by--it just must be. Karola McCombs, our blonde little lass. Is another member of this famous class. At dancing, Narola's right on the top. And the one she's dancing with really must hop. Now Betty June is this blonde's name. 'Twas in the Drug Btore she won her fame. But if anyone should call her . illie. She'll probably say, By gosh, you're silly. Someday this person will know great fame. At riding horses he'll make his name. Leon Miller, we're proud of this boy, A jockey we know that will bring great joy. Jim Polley with his teasing grin. Is sure a lot of friends to win. And shining from his eyes of green, Mischief at most any time can be seen. Our bashful boy, with his funny nick-name. In pitching for baseball has won great fame. Jimmy Lynn Thompson, best known as .Vimmens. Acquired this title when asking for lemons. .,’e've written this together And we both did agree. To write about the other As we've done, you see. M. B. B.

If you abide by this, we know you will make very sophisticated seniors. First to your class president, Lynn Hieronymus. If you werenft so good in chemistry every one wouldn t always be wanting to copy. We all know Ann Ash will be sorry to see this senior class leaving. But maybe things will turn out all right any way, Ann. He Marilyn Minick, when you become a senior you had better discard that MHe I I giggle. We wish Larry Johnson and Cordon Kindred would tell us why they visit the Lincoln girls so often. (Could it be that they have a Packard?) Joann Loy and Ann Ty.grest seem to be running a close race for that certain McLean boy. You both had better watch out for that sophomore girl. Loren, or better known as Doc, are your shin snlints caused from too much running in basketball or too much hunting? Well 11111 What are all of those scratches on the back'of your identification bracelet, Pat? Coul'd it be another sirl s name? Well, Barbara, how many times have you wished you were a senior this year? We guess you will just have to wait another year. Wayne Powell and George Kieszling are going to have to rrr0w a little or when they fret to be seniors the girls will eranrr up on you when you tease them. Nelson Kellems and George Usherwood, you shouldn� t be so quiet. You'll soon be seniors, you know-. Allyn Ijams, Atlanta doesn't need a nature boy. You can get your hair cut now. Lucille Leesman, we know you think the sophomores are all ri ht_________but 3 don11 you think hefll get sort of lonesome after next year? i i Harrell, we guess Mr. McCullough will have to buy you a water-proof watch—he seems to think you stay in the shower too long. Maybe even fifteen minutes too long, what do you think? Keep up the good work in basketball Stanley, maybe vou can take Joe1s place next year. Ye don t knoiv but we heard, by a rumor, that Hetty Frantz likes these Mture boys. How true is this, Betty? Alice, we suggest you find out who all of those teleohone calis are from. It would be much more interesting for all of the other girls. Lyle will be glad when the senior class is rone. It will give him a better chance for that certain girl in his class. Arthur vVatt, youf 11 know who to look out for now won't vou? Could it be the Alumni? § fen wwAi', n t it mtimm mtmm Harold Dean, do you suppose you will make a (?0od senior like Donnita and you setter be good since Donnita won't be here to take messages home to your mother. J Helen, you had better ret some drivers license because when you become a senior, you'll be so busy and Brother Bob or Jack mirht not want to take time for your enjoyment. Delilah, since you will be a senior next year, we think it would be best lor you to give up skating and spend more time at school. Eugene, don't you think it is about time you gave a certain girl in your class a break. After all she sits across from you in study hall. ' Marilyn P., we hear you and a sophomore girl are after the same lunior boy. Is that true? Jim Q., we have heard a rumor that all you want for Christmas is your two front teeth. Right? Donald R., a new car was a real influence on a certain girl, wasn't it? Helen R., we hear the cows are still asleep when you et up to milk. Now that we have done our .rood deed for the day we will take out leave honing you will profit by our suggestions. r zrzrzivajk AV. t fciri m 2222 tfWISVfS Wr Y T VfMTflltylfY Top row: L.

By heeding these suggestions perhaps you will have a graduating class ’almost as wonderful as the class of 50. We’ll begin by advising Jim Lake, your class president, to take more interest in sports. You never know, Jim, but what you may go to a ball game someday—and when you do, you’ll want to know what’s going on, won’t you? We feel that Doris Leesman would make a good editor of an Advice to the Lovelorn column. One thing we’ve discovered—Doris lets the boy’s mother do the worrying. Rumors are that Torp Floyd doesn’t approve of the ladies’ new hair styles. Is it true that you prefer long black hair Torp? Why is it, Marilyn Brandt, that every time you get your car you head north? There’s no attraction up there, is there? Or is there??? ’We think Jim Polley deserves a halo. He’s such a good little boy and never, never cuts up or teases the eirls.........Duh I To Mary and Donnita, our brides of tomorrow, we extend our best wishes toward their married life. Don Douthit, think of the as bills you could be saving if you’d just move to Lincoln. We realize how those nigh’ly trips add up. We think Gerry Lamb to be the most loyal of the class—since she loves her classmates so well. Say, John Clark, if you’d cut out some of those girl friends and night life and work a little more on your chemistry lessons, you might get along better. Evelyn Brown, does your car require that much gas—that you have to visit the Standard Station so often? The place for your class ring, Joe Horrora, is behind lock and key—since you seem to treasure it so highly. We’re wondering if the drug store won’t lose a customer before long, being as a certain blonde -senior lass by the name of Betty June won’t be behind the counter. One of the biggest losses of the senior class will be Bucky Am— berg’s flashy red limousine parked in front of A. C. H. S. You should have good training for a chauffeur by now, Bucky. Clara Mae, we hear you like the seating arrangement in study hall. Comes in handy to have the same last initials, doesn’t it? - I Rosie Fones, you certainly have a fickle eye. Can’t you make up your mind? Out of all those prospects it looks like you could pick at least one beau. It has been told that Jerry Gilbert has thoughts of becoming an M. D. in the future. Tell us, Jerry, is that the reason you visit Dr. Spaits so often? [ iii sa j: I I ! You'd think you were strangers, Bill and Darlene, the way you act towards each other at school. Don't you know that classmates should be friendly? Bob Billiter is the typical ladies1 man. But we hear he’s having a hard time deciding whether to center his interests in Atlanta or Lincoln. Dick Begolka is on his way to being a great mechanical engineer. Keep up the good work, Dick. What's this we hear about Biles Swearingen running into barbed wire fences at night? What’s the matter. Biles, didn’t you have the lights on? Leon Miller nas left some valuable information for students of future years. How about it, Leon? Horses come in quite handy if you should have a case of spring fever, don’t they? Jim Thompson, are you as good at pitching woo as you are at pitching a baseball? We might ask a certain Rosie. Edna Brooks, who is the guy that keeps you out so late at night that you fall asleep in study hall so often? Couldn’t be that old flame could it? You shouldn’t ever have to stay after school for chewing gum. Bill Johnson. Especially since it isn’t gum you are chewing. Narola McCombs, we suggest you hire a private school teacher at your house instead of coming to school since you're there more anyway. Or where are you, Narola????????

Gilbert BRSEGRLL - i The 1948 Baseball campaign was officially opened on Tuesday August the 31st. About 25 boys reported for the first practice sessions among them 9 let.termen who will form the nucleus of the team. The Mettermen and their positions are: Jim Thompson, pitcher;Bill Fer- guson and Bob Brading, catchers; Jim Lake, first base; Dene Floyd, second base; Don Douthlt, third base; Joe Horrom, short stop; Larry Johnson and Gordon Kindred, outfielders. Jim Polley will hold down the other outfield berth. The Red Wings are members of the Logan County Baseball League which also included as members Mt. Pulaski, Reason, Hartsburg-Emden Middletown, Latham, Elkhart, and New Holland. Jim Thompson and Jim Lake were elected captains of the Red Y ing3. The Red Wings opened the season in fine style by bumping the Reason Yellow Jackets 3 to 2 at Beason. Atlanta trailed 2 to 6 going into the 6th inning but they then staged a rally, pushing across the winning runs. Jim Thompson of Atlanta and Darwin Thompson of Beason both pitched superb ball for their respective teams. Atlanta 3—Beason 2. The Red Wings opening game at home was with the Stags from Harts-burg-Emden. Jim Thompson and Gerry Sampen, lanky S ag hurler, hooked up in a brillant pitchers battle, each chucker allowing but one hit. Joe Horrom of Atlanta and Gardner of the Stags were the only players able to hit safely with the Stags winning the game 4 to 2 due mainly to Red Wings errors. Game 3 was the big one, so to speak. The Red Wings and their arch rivals the Mt. Pulaski Hilltoppers, locked horns on the Hilltop diamond. As in the previous games, Jim Thompson and Bill Myrick, Pulaski raounds-man, engaged in a.right hurling duel and at the finish the Hilltoppers wore on the long end of a 3 to 1 score. Atlanta had numerous scoring opportunities but failure to hit in the clutch, and costly errors paved the way for defeat. Atlanta 1--Mt. Pulaski 3. Atlanta next journeyed to the home of the Middletown Comets and again were knocked off, this time by a 7 to 5 score. It was a loosely played game with the Red Wings facing Chuck Ott, a towering lefty. Atlanta led for 5 innings but them their old bug-a-boo, errors, oven took them and the boys kicked away the game. Jim Thompson, pitching below par, was the loser. The Red Wings hit the road again and traveled to the stamping grounds of their friendly rivals, the McLean Colts for their annual struggle. Neither team displayed outstanding baseoall and when the final out was recorded the Colts had scored a mild upset, 5 to 2. Mitzie Barr was the winning pitcher and Jim Thompson was the loser. At this point the boys vowed that they weren’t going to shave again until they won a game. This apparently had its effects because in the next game against a formidable Latham crew, they played their best game of the. year, winning 10 to 0. Jim Thompson was in rare form and pitched a beautiful one hit game. The boys backed up their fine chucking by playing errorless ball afield and bombarding curve balling. Bob Kroger, Latham pitcher, for 9 safetys. Joe Horrom powered a home run for the biggest offensive display of the day. The Red Wings then returned home and played hosts to the Elkhart Redbirds. The Atlanta crew continued the heavy stick work and pounded fflw w w w rcap jiCuisOEHT out 8 hits good for 15 runs In drubbing the guests 15 to 3. Jim Thompson breezed along In fine style and was supported by headsup defensive ball. Larry Banner, pitching with a practically non-existent defense, was the victim. The final game of the 1948 season was played on the Atlanta diamond with the potent New Holland Wildcats furnishing the opposition. With the heavy artillery continuing in action the Red Wings closed the campaign on a sweet note by thumping the Wildcats 7 to 2. Jim Thompson, receiving excellent support from his inner and outer lines of defense, was the winner and Wally Berger, a lanky righthander, was the Icser. Thus, another campaign came to an all-to-quick ending. The Red Wings finished 3'rd in the conference standinrs and with a little luck could have just as easily finished atop the heap. The boys displayed good, sound baseball for the most part although there were times when they looked none too potent. Jim Thompson did a fine job of pitching and his mates were equally effective in their respective positions. Lwwmwmrrs! a aa re MWBMWW wwamw i. OTmiiiwKw ?w vt v« viv t Cr a B •?

The first call for cage candidates was Issued by Coach Phil McCullough on Monday the 11th of October. About 30 candidates report- ed for the first drills but after the first couple of weeks, the squad had diminished to a round 18. During the next few weeks the boys worked hard in preparation for a very tough schedule which includes, among others, Lincoln, Bloomington, Mt. Pulaski, Athens, Lexington, Normal, and the Lexington and County tournaments. The squad numbers 5 lettermen? Jim Lake, Joe Horrom, Don Douthit, and Eugene Floyd, seniors and Larry Johnson, a Junior, who will carry the brunt of the attack. Other boys who v ill see varsity action are Jim Thompson, and J?rr Polley, seniors, and Allyn I jams, Stan Swearingen, Gordon Kindred, Doc Cotton, Juniors, and Roger Frantz, a sophomore. The boys were decked out in new warm-up f,T shirts and sweat jackets and bright red new guards. Also the boys on the bench were fortified with two Y ool athletic blankets. Another added attraction will be the capering antics of the mascot, David West. At a meeting of the squad members Don Douthit and Joe Horrom, senior guards, were elected co-captains. The Red Y ings pried the lid off the 1948-49 season by drubbing the Kinier Wildcats 53 to 37 on the Atlanta court. Atlanta exhibited a fine passing attack and a well rounded scoring punch. The next encounter was the all-important clash with the ancient rivals, the Mt. Pulaski Hill toppers, on the Pulaski court. Both teams played beautiful ball for so early in the season with the host team emerging the victors 35 to 31 due to the Red Wings inability to hit the hoop. The next game was the annual clash with the Purple Raiders from Bloomington High School. The Red Y ings played on even terms with the husky Raiders for the first period but then the Eloomington size began to tell and the purple-clad warriors crept away and finished with a 45 to 25 victory. Next the Red Wings treked to the spacious home of the Williamsville Mustangs and annexed a 49 to 29 decision. The play of both teams was somev hat ragged but the Red Y ings managed to pierce the zone with consistency and bagged the encounter. The next tilt was a repetition of the final game of the 1948 county tourney between the Red Wings and the Elkhart Red Birds played at the home of the Birds. The play was fast and furious all the way and the hosts emerged the victors 40 to 38 due mainly to the 27 point output of Larry Hanner, Red Bird guard. The Red Wings next played hosts to the hot shooting McLean Colts. As is always the case when these two friendly rivals clash, the encounter was a hard fought, well played struggle with the Red Wings proving to be the superior team, winning by a 47 to 34 margin. I tWfs -«v wiWfV j '?i vawssvroVWMsv ws fV fvviwiS ft viv anfya LMlZlmZJZT The second battle of the 1948-49 season between the Mt. Pulaski Hill-toppers and the Atlanta Red flings was staged on the Atlanta court, both teams and fans alike were fired up to fever pitch and a red hot game was anticipated and when the smoke had cleared Pulaski was happy and Atlanta wasn't because the Hilltoppers had snatched a 35 to 34 victory after the hed flings had apparently gained their first decision over the Hill-topoers in a long time. Both teams played up to the hilt all the way and with about 2 minutes remaining the hosts held a commanding 5 ooint lead. Then 4 of the Led ding regulars fouled out and Pulaski took advantage of Atlanta's weakened condition and grabbed the victorv. The following ni ht the Red flings took on the verv powerful Normal Ironmen, one of the top ranking teams in the state. The Red flings surprised everyone but themselves by handin the visitors a stunning 47 to 46 defeat. The game started out rather slowly with Atlanta jumping off to a lead they never relinquished after a few minutes, however, the game picked up tempo and it was fast the rest of the way. The Red wing superior shooting eyes told the story in the long run. The Red dings warmed up for the County Tournament by traveling to the home of the New Holland wildcats. The hed flings started out fast and ran up 22 points the first quarter. They cooled off somewhat the next 3 periods but had enough left to rap out a 53 to 47 victory. County Tournament Time. This year 7 teams competed in the annual affair. The teams, and the order in which they were seeded were: Hartsburg-Smden, Beason, KJkhart, Atlanta, New Holland, Middletown, and Latham. The Atlanta-Latham game started rather slowly with neither team exhibiting much scoring power. The hed dings finally caught fire and held a comfortable 15 lead at half time. At one step in the second half the Rabbits pulled to within 9 points but Atlanta turned it on again and coasted to a 48 to 34 victory. Beason walked over Middletown thus putting them, against the Red flings in the Semi-finals. Both teams, anticipating a berth in the finals, opened all the valves and threw everything they had into the contest. It was close all the way, first one team leading and then the other. In the final few minutes the yellow jackets slipped an 8 point lead and then stalled it out insuring their 45 to 37 victory. Elkhart was a victim of the towering Hartsbur -Emden Sta s in their semi-final bout and they and the hed dings mixed it up for 3rd place honors. The hed flings played one of their best games of the vesr, exhibiting a lightning fast break and a sharp passing attack. ihey jumped off to an early lead and toyed with the Red Birds the remainder the game. The final score was 57 to 40. of Hartsburg and Beason put on a real show for the fans in the is. It was red hot, fast moving, hot shooting, thrill packed encounter all the way. Beason was usually ahead a few points but toward tne end the btags got ahead and eked out a victory to put them in first place. The first engagement after the tourney was the 3rd meeting between the hed wines and the McLean Colts played in McLean's small gym. Atlanta's superiority over their neighbors from the North prevailed and the Red flin s won this 3rd game 54 to 52. Both teams played hard, fast, ball and for three quarters not more than three or four points separated the comfortable 10 point lead but McLean rallied valiantly and the Red flings had to stall out the last couple of minutes to preserve the victory.

The affair, played on the huge Lexington gym, proved dlsasterous for the Red Wings because they were soundly thumped by the lightning fast break of the Minutemen, 70 to 46. Atlanta returned home for an engagement with the pesky New Holland Wildcats. This was the closest, most exciting game played by the Red Wings up to date. Atlanta made two free throws with the clock in the red to provide the margin of victory for the Red Wings 51 to 49. The Red Wings again hit the road and traveled to the gym of the Beason Yellowjackets. Atlanta1s fast break and the hosts hot shooting kept the game neck and neck all the way through. Atlanta held a substantial lead with two minutes to go, but the Yellowjackets never gave up and finally eked out a 49 to 47 decision. The Christmas vacation was upon us and with it the eight-team invitational tournament held at Lexington. The competing teams with the first-round pairings were Lexington vs. Mackinaw-Deer Creek, Atlanta vs. Odell, McLean vs. Waynesville, and Hopedale vs. Heyworth. The Red Wings got the tourney underway by defeating Odell. The game was a slow, raggedly played affair in which neither team exhibited much basketball finesse. The score was very close throughout with neither team being able to gain a substantial lead. In the final few minutes the Red Wings dumped in six quick points to ice up the contest, 38 to 34. The host team defeated Mackinaw-Deer Creek to set battle between the Red Wings and the Minutemen. the stage for a As was expected this was a top notch attraction with both teams exhibiting great prowress to a packed house of wild, screaming fans. Ldxlngton jumped off to a 10 to 0 first quarter lead which was the ultimate downfall of the Red Wings. From then on both teams exchanged basket for basket with the hosts finally emerging a 45 to 39 victor. McLean, who won their opening round gam from Waynesville but were knocked off in their semi-final game with Hopedale, and the Red ”'lnr clashed for third place honors. That both teams were tired as a result of gruelling preliminary battles was evidenced by the fact that both teams played a deliberate brand of ball throughout the contest. The game was close all the way with first one team in front and then the other would forge into the lead. The Red Wings pulled out in front in the final two minutes to ice up the game 43 to 38. The smooth working, Lexington Minutemen copped their own tourney by smothering an outmaned Hopedale quintet 50 to 32. The first game of the new year was the annual clash with the Rail-splitters, played on the Lincoln court. These two friendly rivals havB been at it for years, always producing a fast, hard fought encounter. This game was no exception. All ten men were going fast and furious the first half with the Railsplitters holding a 21 to 18 edge at the intermission. For the first few minutes of the 2nd half the play was fast but then it slowed down to a near walk. Lincoln gradually pulled away and at the finish they were on top 44 to 34. The Red Wings next tackled the Heyworth Hornets on the Atlanta floor The Hornets threw up a tight zone defense which bottled up the Red Wings for a time. Then the hosts opened up with their long range artillery which proved highly successful as the Red Wings ran over their visitors 36 to 21 L-£ : W W v 7 :'v w rgnsL s£z ift M mW wiv - -- X; iVi ;.. ■ The Red Wings next traveled to the horr.e of the ?dini«r Wildcats where they encountered little difficulty in running up their highest point total of the season, 59, against an outmanned, inexoerienced Minier team. The Red .rfings started fast and were in serious trouble. The final score was 59 to 37. The Red Wings returned home and played host to the tall boys from Williamsville. The visitors threw up a tough zone and the scoring was rather low although the play was fast. i3oth teams stuck to their more or less defensive tactics and the final score was 57 to 43. The Red Wings continued their warfare at home by entertaining a speedy crew from Niantic. The game started out fast from the opening whistle and the. racehorse brand continued through out. This was probably the fastest game the Red wings played this season. The Red Wings managed to gradually pull out in front and won 58 to 42. Atlanta hit the road again and made the long jaunt to Athens. The Red wings started fast and built up a 10 point lead early in the game but the warrior fought back and late in the second, half that had a commanding 15 ooint lead. Atlanta caught fire in the final minute and Doured in 10 ooints but the clock ran out or. them and Athens hung on for a close 51 to 49 decision. The Red ••ings came home to olay the powerful Lexington N.inutemen in the last regulanv sched iled getme of the year. As in the two previous carries Lexington s all around speed and finesse accounted for a 46 to 42 victory for the visitors. Both teams played fire wagon ball with Lexinmton holding a 6 to 10 ooint lead throughout. Atlanta was having miserable luck at the hoop and could never overcome the lead. In the first game of the hegionai tournament played in the Lincoln High School gym the Red Wl ngs engaged the too seeded Flyers from Springfieldts Feitshans High School. The Flyers threw up the best zone seen all ye r and this hampered the Red Wings considerably. Atlanta raced to an early iead but Feitshans soon warmed up and grabbed a lead they never relinquished. ..Llanta s shooting eyes were ice cold which aided in the Fivers 55 to 35 victory. with this the curtain falls on another cage campaigning. The Red wings had a good year winning 15 and losing a dozen against major competition. The team was of the in and out variety. On a good night they could be«t the best of them while on the next night they were just as apt to be 'beaten by anyone. The boys worked arid tried hard and were deserving of all credit paid them. 3 CALENDAR August 6 Registration. September 7 School begins. Everyone meeting new teachers. Only a half day of school.
