After making many telephone calls to Mr. Davis and the other members of the school board, Mr. Linneman received the go-ahead signal on the football team. It was then that his work really started. To have a football team, it is necessary to have four things: (1) A coach, (2) A practice field, (3) Equipment, and (4) Players. Through Monne Ferrill, equipment was purchased. Mr. Davis secured permission for the team to practice on Welling's Field. As to manpower, 28 eager and willing boys were ready to go when school started. The school board appropriated approximately $1000 for the purchase of uniforms. Septem- 13 ber 12, all uniforms were given out, and the first squad picture was taken. After three weeks of gruelling practice, in which five or six boys dropped from the team, we were ready for our first game. Our first opponent was the Ludlow Reserve team. The Tigers, green and untried, came through with a 12-7 victory. One week later we played Bellevue's Reserve team and won 13-0 over a vastly larger and more experienced team. Our next game was with Deer Park, Ohio. We played their entire varsity, and after a terrific struggle, the Tigers won out 13-12. Against Dayton's reserves we scored 26 points to their 0. After a see-saw contest at Highlands we came out on the losing end of a 7-0 score. Although the Tigers got off to a slow start, they came out on the top side of a 14-7 score against the Newport Wildcat's junior varsity. In the last game of the season, the Tigers lost a 13-7 rough and tumble affair to the Holmes Junior Bulldogs.

WE ARE SCHOLARS, T00 KINDERGARTEN The kindergarten children usually arrive in two's and three's. They like to announce their appearance by peeping in the window. If no one is there except the teacher they are delighted. There seems to be some sort of special achievement in being the first. Sometimes they find the outside door stuck and there is an added pleasure in coming back to the window to announce this fact. Eventually they come into the room. They choose a book from the library table and sit in the circle of chairs by the piano to wait for all the chil- dren. DENIS ELO and ANITA ROSE GLATSTEIN often arrive first. SAN- DRA COX and FRANCES FELD- MANN are also early birds. ED- DIE DE VILLEZ and RONNIE BECK- ER travel together. Ronnie is seri- ous and Eddie wears a grin which says that you simply can't take life too seriously. JACK WOLSING and JIM MIDDENDORF are so much alike in so many ways that the other children are astonished if one comes to school without the other. ''Where is your brother?’ they will ask. CONNIE ELLIS, BONNIE MEYER, SUSAN QUINN, and HENRY LEE come in about midway of the arrival period. They are dependable chil- dren with quiet ways of showing their interests. The clock could be set by the appearance of BILLY HILL, TEDDY SCUDDER, and BOBBY TATE. It must be the result of good clocks at home and a nice system of gathering the children together by one mother and getting them to school at one. After months of ob- serving the energy, the endless ac- tivity, the determined-to-be-satisfied curiosity of those three little boys, one cannot help but wonder how clocks have managed to keep run- ning in those three households. PARK GILMORE is the last to come in, usually just after the bell, and always with a _ beautifully worded apology for any inconvenience his tardiness may have caused. FIRST GRADE Six or eight first graders are wait- ing quietly in the school yard by the chain. As the teacher ap- 18 LITTLE TOTS proaches they begin to swarm like bees. They enter the room, take off their wraps, get books to read, play games, and exchange bits of news, For a week they have been playing circus. All their work with the three R's and their progress with music, the graphic arts, and the social sciences, have been operating under a heavy circus disguise. Chuckie Korzenborn comes up to the desk holding a small glass bowl covered with wax paper. ‘This is some honey my _ grandpa's_ bees made, he says quietly, proudly. May | tell the children about it? This is arnanged, Margaret Delauney brings one of her little books from home. Il can read every word of this to the children.’ Ralph Meyer holds out a shell. ‘'l brought this for our collection, but | can't tell anything about it because my father found it before | was even born and he doesn't remember where he found it.’ Barbara Garvey comes up with her bit of intimate news. ‘'My sister's boils are better,’ she con- fides. The bell rings; the roll is called; the Bible is read; the salute to the flag is given; ‘America’ is sung. Since Miss Sledd does not come for singing class, it is decided to have records played on JUDY ALLEN'S victrola. The children compose and dictate a story about circus animals to the teacher, who writes it on the board. The class divides for the daily read- ing lessons; one group reading while the other writes. Then the members of the art com- mittee settle to work on the frieze of clown heads: JUDY LANG, BONNIE FAY HASTINGS, LYNDALL TAR; BECK, JOY AMMERMAN, JUDY ALLEN, BONNIE GARRISON, JOAN KERLIN, STUBBY HULL, EARNEST LEE, ROBERTA HALEY, and TEDDY FELDMANN. The clay committee continues to make animals to be used in the miniature circus display: PATTY PAGE DAVIS, BARBARA KAYE KNOSP, HOPE WIMMER, MARGA- RET DELAUNEY, DAVID TAKACS, BARBARA GARVEY, DENNIS AD- AMS, and ANNA CLARE OIEN. The building committee does a lot of figuring with paper, pencils, rulers, and shoe boxes: RALPH MEYER, LUCY LEWIS HOWARD, NANCY LEGG, BOBBY MICHAELS, CHUC- KIE KORZENBORN, STEVEN GRAWE, EDDIE BADER, and SHIR- LEYSRAGCE SECOND GRADE There are twenty-four chil- dren in the second grade— eight boys and sixteen girls. All started at Beechwood in September, except Nancy Due who came from Covington in November. Four children: CAROL JANE BOARD, BET- TY JANE MINER, INDA LU NORTON, and DAVID WADE have been neither absent nor tardy this year. One of our main objectives in the second grade is to read a great many room library books. NANCY PAGE BLEM- KER has read the most books, and BILLY GARRISON is close behind her. The class divided itself into two ‘'ball'’ teams—Giants and Braves — for Arithmetic and Spelling matches. The Giants are JOE HAGIN, captain; NANCY DUE, BARBARA WI- KEGSIIRUEY LOVE ALLE SONS TA TE ALEXe WIESON;, SUSAN MD OLCESs AMES ROGERS, DUKIE CAMPBELL, DAVID WADE, BETTY JANE MINER, and NANCY PAGE BLEMKER. The Braves are: CHARLES MEYER, -captain; BILEYSRGARISON® TUCKER WORTHINGTON, CAROL JANE BOARD, GEORGIA LUE GOODWIN, NELL MOR- LIDGE, INDA LU NORTON, TEDDY OMiltt. BARBARA JANE KLEINTANK, SUE BER- ReeeBECKae SUB MDUNLEAP, and JEAN KUHN. The Giants have won more Spelling games, and the Braves more Arithme- tic games. THIRD GRADE The third grade class started this year with eighteen mem- bers. There were nine boys and nine girls. Two girls, GAY AND BIGGER TOTS RAMEY and BETTY JANE MAY have moved away, so that now our class only has sixteen members. After a few weeks we or- ganized a Citizenship Club with JANE RIGGS, president; CAIFILEEN “GOEBEL, — vice- president; LEVA RICHARD- SON, secretary; BOBBY LIG- GETT, treasurer; and GAY RAMEY, program chairman. We have had a very interest- ing project on transportation, and have enjoyed painting pic- tures that show the growth of transportation from logs to airplanes. Our girlh—CAROL JEAN COO ee UAN Ag RACES CATHLEEN GOEBEL JANE RIGGS, MARY JO BEERS, LEVA RICHARDSON, — and ZOE ANNESPRICE= are tar ahead of the boys in our oral number contest.

FOURTH GRADE Let's see, what have we _ been doing this year besides the usual readin, ritin', and ‘rithmetic? We started the year with twenty- two, but JEAN WHAFER soon left for Crescent Springs. We have two new members in the class: MARTHA AMMON,-. from Park Hills, and LOUIS McNABB, from Ludlow. LARRY ADAMS, who hasn't been with us since the second grade, came back this year, JACK SCHULTZ, MARY SUE MINER, and FRANCES CASTLE- MAN entertained us on their birth- days. Pol ND Se] When we organized the club the officers were elected: LANDGRAVE, SMITH, vice-president; CAROL BUCKSHORN, JUNE CHRISTOPHEL, treasurer; BARBARA SAVELY and PAUL RICHARDSON, program committee. We have enjoyable programs twice a month. At the beginning of the second semester the following offi- cers were elected: LOUIS McNABB, president; MARY CAMPBELL, vice- president; JANIS WRIGHT, secre- tary; PHILIP LANDGRAVE,_ treas- urer; CAROL MAE BUCKSHORN and MARTHA AMMON, Program committee. following PHILIP JIMMY president: secretary; PHILIP LANDGRAVE, JAMES BEERS, LOUIS McNABB, JACK SCHULTZ, and MARTHA AMMON take band lessons. DICK AMMER- and JIMMY SMITH are also mem- bers of the band. These people are noted for: PAUL RICHARDSON, reading the most books and being tardy; HEN- RY CAMPBELL, taking care of us all; BETTY JEAN REED, being ab- sent; JIMMIE CAMPBELL, being the best sport; LARRY ADAMS, LOUIS McNABB and BILLY MERGARD, not being tardy or absent; sand CAROLYN HULL, being an all- around good student. FIFTH GRADE Don't you know us? We're the fifth grade. That's BOBBY STEW- ART who just talks himself into more trouble than Charlie McCarthy. Yes, JOHN MORLIDGE is just like him. VIRGIL VANCE, can talk when he wants to. He is defense attorney in our room court. JOE HUGHES, the prosecuting attorney, gets advice from his dad. ALLEN BRODT is the little blonde with the big dimples. SCOTT SMITH is the boy with the big words. RICHARD RACE is our ‘little'’ classmate. That chatter box is CHARLES COX, and he's a regular Mexican Jumping Bean. In contrast is quiet BERT BOARD. HENRY LOVE is our Huck Finn. He does fine when he comes to school but he takes ‘vacations’ so often. JACK GEIS is like a fire cracker that goes off too soon. JERRY JONES and JIM MAHONEY are two heartbreakers of the class. Of course we have some girls in RUTH QUINN came from Washington. BARBARA SCOUTEN is our quiet little girl who PATSY CARRAN is the girl who is so crazy over horses. ARLENE ASHCRAFT came in this year from Covington. ED- DIE RUTH WEHRMEYER and MOL- LY ANN DERR are the long and the short of our class. Eddie Ruth is the tall one with the big blue eyes our class! sings Irish songs. and the hair like pull candy. Molly is the little one who sees something funny in every thing.

EDDIE McNABB was elected president and ALEX HOW- ARD, vice-president. We chose AN J BARBARA BENNETT to guard the strong box and JOHN BOARD to DAVE MARTIN was our choice for ''Beechbark'' re- keep our minutes. porter. Our class has been very active in the extra-curricular activities of the school. The seventh grade bas- ketball team defeated Ludlow ana was victor in one of two games with Bellevue. We collaborated with the eighth grade in defeating Dixie and Blessed Sacrament. Players on our team were JAMES WADE, JACK OLDHAM, RAY McCLURE, ROGER REQUARDT, DAVE MARTIN, ED- DIE McNABB, JOHN BOARD, DAN PURDOM, and RONY LUNSFORD. Four of our girls, PAT BERRY, 3AR- BARA BENNETT, PATSY MESCHER, GIRLS and BONNIE ROWLETTE, ably rep- resented us as cheerleaders. BOB MERGARD, BENJY HUGHES, ED- DIE McNABB, and RONY LUNS- FORD are beginning band students; and JAMES WADE, RAY McCLURE, DAN PURDOM, and EDWARD LEE are members of the regular band, We are very proud to have won the P. T. A. award at each meeting this year for having the most mothers in attendance. Programs st cur class meetings have included skits, picture shows, a Christmas party, and a going-away party for JOAN HAFER, who left Beechwood in December to enter Dixie Heights School. We have gained two new members this year, KITTY LOU PRICE and EDDIE McNABB, See os nh EIGHTH GRADE There is never a dull moment in our class. If you need a lift just contact frivolous FLOR- ENCE ASTOR, the bigger, bet- ter, and louder type of gum chewer. BOB STEIDLE is more of the silent type, especially when he thinks he is being “caught. ‘'Gildersleeve’ GEORGIA GILBERT isn't too quiet. When it comes to plot- ting, BERT SAVELY takes the cake. ‘Topsy - turvy - turmoil’ TOMMY TATE has made a hit with a junior girl JOANNE powder-puff'' STEINFORT is the feminine beauty of the class. For representation on the honor roll we take our hats off to. VIRGINIA GOEBEL and ie Heat CHARLIE CAMPBELL. We don't hear much from ROGER CHALKLEY as he's the submis- sive and ‘hard to get’ type. In contrast there's babbling BOBBIE BROWN—whom_ we expect to be our future foot- ball hero. JANIE WIKEL, with her new hair cut, is going Ve- ronica Lake on us. CHARLES KREY's dry wit is good for a laugh anytime. BETTY BAST is our movie-struck girl. PEG- GY -UDRYW = CHARLES = ROG- ERS, BESSIE LOVE, and MAR- GARET MARTIN are new- comers. They're all right too, and we hope they will be with us for a long time. EDNA RACE is the dark and myste- rious type. Several girls will Ben ae have their eyes on DAVID VAN DEREN whenever he decides to give them a break. DOR- OTHY DANCE appears de- mure and shy but watch out when she gets started. JANET PULLIAM and WANDA POW. ERS make a cute pair. Last but not least is master mind JERRY MAHONEY. He’ a real Casa- nova. FRESHMEN | was looking through my scrap book the other day, and it was fun to see how our class has grown to be the present freshmen class. Only four of us have been here since kindergarten: JOYCE HODDER, MARGARET WAL- LACE, LOIS JOHNSTON, who left for one year and came back, and GERRY BETTINGER. In the first grade JOY SCHAAR joined our group. In the second grade we added three new pupils, FRANCES CAMPBELL, RUTH WHALEY, and MARIAN YOUNG, In the fifth grade we gained one more, DONNA SUE HOL- DEN, who left us for a while but came back this year.

JUNIORS Mr. Martin had just finished checking the roll and had found every one present. There must have been a mistake, but no, there was THELMA 'PIDGE'' BAILER, who came from Dixie Heights, talking to ROBERTA BO REED and MARILYN MER WIGGER, a Junior Prom attendant and also a cheerleader, BETTY BRAM- LAGE another cheerleader was talking to NOREEN MILLER, the drum major and another prom attendant. In the next aisle were ALICE BOWMAN, JEANNE HOD- DER, LORETTA McHALE, and RAS ROSESEROREICI tny- ing to get their bookkeeping to balance. HELEN RACE and MARIAN HOLLMEYER were near them talking. In the back of the room, RUTH WALTZ, a member of the band, was going over a new piece for the sextette. BILL WADE, our class presi- dent, a member of the band, and a Prom attendant, was congratulating our vice-presi- dent, GORDON HOOD, upon his being elected Prom King ROBERT KRAEY, secretary, was asking PAUL this year. GARBER, reporter, and DON ROGERS, treasurer, about the decorations. BiLL BECHTOLD was saying TOMA RIN@ 4D ee VY Eliaeeana DICK BRESCH that he hoped our Prom was a greater success than our ''Sweater and Skirt Hop’ we gave. DICK was on the football team and official bottle opener at the games. TED WILLIAMS, another Jr. Prom attendant and ELMER BAUTE, both basketball and tootball players, were discus- sing the basketball tournament with JIM SCOUTEN and JOHN McGINNIS. | SHALL ALWAYS ee ee SRRPL Es RARE ORM Ek ORM ae eb Oe = SY, es eee Se Be OO HEMEMBER BASKETBALL DNS Mel SD asa W esl Neale Much of the team's success goes to the bril- liant coaching of COACH EDGAR McNABB.

The success of this season was highlighted by our defeating three big teams: Coving- ton, Newport, and Roger Bacon. The Cov- ington and Roger Bacon games were close and exciting. Having just lost to Camp- bell County by one point, we were ready to shine against Newport. We made 63 per cent of our foul shots and 28 per cent of our field goals defeating Newport 46-30. In the Roger Bacon game the score was tied nine times in the second half. Our team rallied and came through winning the game 45-43. The big feather in our caps was our trampling Holmes 33-32. This game was jam-packed with thrills from beginning to end The Tigers were fighting their hearts out all the way. Our shots and rebounds finally paid off, and we smashed the Bulldogs record of 8 straight wins. The climax of a very successful season was the annual basketball banquet. I+ is the time when those who have worked hard all year are rewarded. The delicious dinner was served by the P. T. A. Coach Rupp of University of Kentucky fame was the principal speaker of the evening. Attend- ing this momentous occasion were the faculty, the board members, the cheer- leaders, the managers, the members of the first and the second team, and the loyal patron-drivers.

But just for the record we've put our talents on parade. And are going to let you in on what plans we've made, FRED AMENT has a great desire To have a dance band all his own, And upon his clarinet to play The hottest notes 'his'' sweetest way. AUDREY BOARD a quiet little Miss Would be full of happiness and bliss, lf her greatest desire would come true 1 To be an airline hostess and fly in the ''Blue. BEVERLY CRISSINGER in our class Is a very happy lass. She has her man but won't be still Till the ship comes in with ''Sailor Bill. ' When it comes to a ‘'chick, ' BILL BROWN is very slick. He plans to raise a thousand or more, So he'll ha ve more money than ever before. VIVIAN FROHLICH's specialty Is typing with originality. She will make good in office work, we know. She transcribes them fast, never slow. When you dial Two-One-One To get a call to your loved one, PEGGY GARLOUGH will give you care And send your voice over the air. RALPH CLARK is quite a slugger, He can hit them high and low, And when he hits, the ball sails far; So we've picked him as a Reds’ Star. JOHN CORNELL has a wonderful desire That has lived in his heart for years, To be a doctor and cure the sick So they are better very quick Some day when reading your favorite magazine You'll see in the front a familiar name, GRACE HAKE—Editor-in-Chief of ''Seventeen''— Book of fashions—fit for a queen. JANE MACKXLIN's voice is like an angel's. She is easy on the eye. Because of these two talents To ''stardom'' she'll soar high. JERRY JOHNSON tho’ awfully small Plans a big discovery for all. His name will be among the great: This we do not hesitate to state. SALLY O'CONNELL's dream-come-true Would be a flower shop trimmed in blue— With daisies, roses, and orchids, too All fresh and pretty to sell to you. MARY SCHEPKER, with Bass Clarinet in hand, Will be a member of Phil Spitalny's Band. On Sunday evenings she'll fill your room With joyous notes to chase away gloom. JIM KENNEDY is in the Army now. Right! he isn't behind the plow. He's stationed at Camp Atterbury, And from what we hear is very merry. Hee Pol Al Because of JIM KOSTAS' work at Toll's, We are beginning to cast our polls That someday soon he'll be the owner Of a drug store on the corner. JINNY SCHIPPER plans to be A famous dress designer. She'll create you something smart That will really catch your heart. Because LORAINE SCHEPKER is so sweet A very nice fellow we know she'll meet. Together they will build a home, And thru its pretty rooms they'll roam. Since BOB LEE has a mechanic's brain, We've placed him owner of a garage; And there he can be in his glory, Creating inventions for a front-page story. MARVA LEE SCHMIDT with a brush Plans to paint some pictures And be a second Rembrandt true, Bringing top artistic work to you. Some day you'll find a book; And when thru it you look, You'll see it’s full of ''figures,' Explained by ALICE SCHULTZ, by ''jiggers. BOB LINEHAN has two desires: To be a teacher and live on a farm. The way we have your life planned, Bob, You'll teach agriculture and grow corn-on-the-cob. Three cheers for BOB LINNEMAN's talent For taking pictures both motion and silent. | He has picked a very fine trade, | And we're sure he'll make the grade. With her pretty eyes of blue MARY SCHUMER comes to you, To be a chemist is her desire, Of this we are sure she'll never tire. LUCY SUCHANEK will be ''Tops'' In the field that she has chosen. A charming nurse she's going to be; Just wait a few years—you'll see. Another fine fellow, who has plans To fill the shelves with pots and pans, To meet his customer at the door, ls GEORGE RUH; we won't tell more. There's a red head in our room Who is ‘hot'' on good grooming. JOANN WIGGER is our star, Buying clothes for a teen age bar. JOANN ZEIDLER has a talent To make people gay. We hope that this special gift Will always with her stay. BOB STEPHENS has both wit and brain. Be cause of this we've set his aim To be a chemist—great and tall And make a marvelous discovery for all. Now the ''Parade''. is over, And we are destiny bound. We are going to do the best we can To try to fulfill our every plan. WE HAD FUN For Auld Lang Syne, the social calendar. B Club dance, October (3, Cecil Young and his orchestra. October 27, the P. T.

Telephone service depends on operators, linemen, engineers, in- stallers, clerks—2,000 men and women in scores of telephone jobs, who operate and maintain the $57,000,000 system of this company. With the cooperation of telephone users, who have been most considerate in their use of the Telephone—avoiding needless calls and keeping other calls brief—these telephone workers are doing their very best to make present equipment serve as many people as possible, after war needs are met, and to keep the quality of service as good as is possible these war days.
