Mr. and Mrs. James Wade Bolton, wishing to do some- thing that would aid in the development of Alexandria, presented to the school board the site on which the school now stands. When the building was completed, it was named Bolton High in recognition of their splendid gift. In September, 1915, the students of the old Alexandria high school moved into the new building. The School Board officers at the time were: Mr. Jonas Rosenthal, president; Mr. J. W. Bolton, vice-president: Mr. D. B. Showalter was parish superintendent; Mr. S. M. Brame, principal of the high school, and Mr. R. E. Galloway, assistant principal. When school opened for the session of 1915-16 the number of students enrolled was 275, and forty-six were graduated at the end of the second term. The year of 1925 finds an enrollment of over seven hundred students with a graduating class of 115. The faculty composes forty teachers. These statistics will serve to give us an idea of the steady growth of the school, and call to our attention that already the needs have outgrown the present accommoda- tions. We are looking forward soon to the erection of a new building which will easily provide for our increased enrollment and afford the best possible educational advantages. MR. S. M.

The front steps we leave vacant For at least a little while To the Juniors we bequeath them There they may play and smile. We have all received demerits, Sometimes many, sometimes few, And the worst of all disasters Have gotten forty minutes, too. But despite the rough and tumble We have had our share of fun, And we regret to leave it Now that it’s almost done. But the class of ’25, Before bidding their adieu, Wish happiness and joy To every one of you. —Rebecca Martin, '25.

THE BRUIN 1 Page Thirty-six 319 2-5® AN EXHORTATION TO THE UNDERGRADUATES HE scholastic year 1924-25 comes near to an end, and as the veil of time draws closer and closer to a fold, blotting out all save the results of our labor, many of us begin to take a perspective view of ourselves to see what, after all, have been our accomplishments. We are proud to say that the larger percentage of Bolton students realize the wonderful opportunities offered through a great institution such as ours, an institution that stands for a thorough diffusion of knowledge, the moulding of character, fair play and clean sports. This statement takes firm roots in the fact that we are graduating one of the largest classes in the history of the school, have added trophy after trophy on the athletic field, and proved equal to the best in the field of literary attainment. As a school, we do not praise laudatory comment, but only the satis- faction of knowing we have done our task well. Students of Bolton, how can you personally answer this question ? Have you done your task well ? Have you been the one to hold Bolton’s banner high, and place a laurel ieaf along with the others who have given their best efforts to the school? As this year draws speedily to a close, we urge that you summarize your accomplishments, and if, perchance, you have been negligent or indifferent, take a determined stand now for the future, returning next year with a fixed purpose in mind to make yourself and your school count for the highest things attainable.

I started to school today. Gee, what a school! It’s got thirty teachers. Mr. Brame sure does look mean. I felt a little green, but Jim and I managed to get around. Tuesday, September 16. I wore two pair of pants today, because I heard we were going to be hazed, but nothing happened. I talked in the study hall today and Mr. Balcar nearly ate me up. He surely is sleepy looking. I almost got a demerit for chewing gum, but Miss Gould took pity on me and didn’t give me any. I have a lot of lessons to get and am not going to write any more. Wednesday, September 17. They caught me unpre- pared today, and now I believe I had rather stand up than sit down. Jim was put under the showers and had to go home. I did get a demerit today for hollering in school when a senior shot me with a piece of lead. Those big brutes surely are rough. Thursday, September 18. Those teachers are giving me too many lessons. I made fifty in spelling today, but made up for it when I made a hundred in algebra. They surely have a dandy library, but there are no good books in it. I couldn’t find Buffalo Bill anywhere. I didn’t know there was a boy named Tom Sawyer here, but there is, because Miss White said, “Tom Sawyer is not in the library.” Supper is ready and I have to eat. I wouldn’t miss a meal for any diary. Friday, September 19. It’s come at last, that glorious Friday. Those bad seniors played ball with me today, Ben and Harry threw me around terribly. I had to go to the kept-in room today because I was late. They surely keep you in a long time. I have about fifty lessons for Monday, but I should worry, I have Saturday and Sunday to play in. It’s getting late and I have to go to Scout meeting. Oh, yes, I forgot to say I paid my elevator dues to a senior today.

Patre Sixty-four 319 2,5 5 SCHOLARSHIP IIE percentage of pupils in Bolton High School who make an average of ninety or above is surprisingly small. There are too many to whom seventy-five looks just as good as ninety. There were only twenty-six out of seven hundred pupils who made the Honor Roll last term, but we are proud of these twenty- six, for they are doing their duty, and by raising their grades and sharpening their own minds, they are helping the standard of Bolton’s scholarship. Can you not realize, Bolton students, that now is the time to put forth your very best if you intend to make a success of yourself in later life? Do you not realize the necessity of it? If you do not apply yourself now your minds will grow rusty and blunt. With a little study at the right time in life, and that time is now, you can fit yourself to an understanding of deeper and better things, improvement and stability are based upon a good founda- tion. If the foundations of a house are just thrown together and not built with care, the first strong puff of wind will topple it over and reduce it to ruins. This also applies to you and me, and it is our own fault if our fate is the same as that of the weakly built house. Mr. Brame is emphasizing this fact every day and by this he is doing his duty. He is granting privileges to those who realize their responsibility and who make the Honor Roll their goal. There is not one in this school who could not be among this privileged class if he only tried. Many of us do not know our own abilities. Why don’t you see what you can do? This is an appeal to the pupils of Bolton High School. It has been made many times before, but we make it again. Won’t you turn over a new leaf today and make good ?

Alexandria, La., May, 1925 No. 1 SOCIAL EVENTS IN ’24-’25 SESSION The social eventa for Bolton this year have been many and varied. However, the most important were the Circus, Riven for the benefit of the Athletic Association, the Carnival Ball, Riven for the bene- fit of the Rally fund, and the pre- sentations of the “Fascinating Fanny Brown” by the Chemistry- Club. and “Sylvia by the music department of the school. The Bolton annual Circus was quite an improvement over those of previous years. The side shows were both unique and entertain- ing, showing they had been ar- ranged and prepared alter careful consideration and hard work. Although the weather was un- favorable. the Circus cleared one hundred and fifty dollars. The “Carnival was a great success, boasting a great royal court which would have made the King of England die in envy (that is if he could have seen it . Miss Grace Bradford made a very charming queen and was gallantly accompanied by Mr. Ben F. Rob- erts. The maids with their knights were: Miss Catherine Stafford and Mr. Lewell Breithaupt, Miss Eloise Gandy and Mr. Jack Bur- nett. Miss Dorothy Cox and Mr. Willie McMichacl. The ‘Fascinating Fanny Brown' was presented in the Study Hall by the members of the Chemistry Club December 18. It proved to be a success and was enjoyed by the whole student body. This event was followed by the musical comedy. Sylvia.” starring Miss Lucy Armstrong and presented at the City Park Auditorium. This also was put over with a bang as was proved by the comments and exclamations of the spectators as the curtain fell at the close of the last scene. CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS Bolton High School can boast of quite a few’ splendid organizations and societies, all of which are based on some principle by which the school is benefited. First of all. our literary socie- ties are of great value in helping select and develop the best ma- terial for the literary events of the various rallies. They are a great asset to students who wish to overcome timidity and learn to lose self consciousness. Our canteen has certainly been one of the most helpful of all school activities. Not only does it supply the financial needs of various departments of the school, but it also supplies the pupils w’ith necessary equipment at the least possible cost. Such clubs as the French Club, I atin Club and Kem. Klub are of great help in making the studies interesting to the students. The (Continued on Page 4) HONOR ROLL L Augustus Rush II.

Not only does she have an excellent record in ath- letics and outside curriculum activities, but her average in scholastic work is also very well advanced. Recent graduates of Bolton Hi have more forcefully brought this information to light, when, upon investigation, it was found that only nine per cent of all the graduates of this school, now’ at- tending some college or univer- sity. failed to pass the required work. It was also proved that those who made high grades in Bolton received good marks in college and those who didn't, didn't when their college reports came around. This school is an accredited State high school and most col- leges and universities accept cred- its made therein. Since only a small percentage of the entire student body fail each session, the blue and white has reason to be proud of its graduates, who go off and build (Continued on Page It CANTEEN The school store, or canteen, has become more important in the management of school affairs than it has ever been before.

HOLTON BEARS WIN HONORS The Bears’ football team furn- ished one player for the mythical All-State Grid team when Harry Brown was selected as the best end in Louisiana. Under the coaching of Mr. H. C. Cate and with Roy Vanderford as the able captain the blue and hite w’on six out of ten games, playing some of the best teams in the state.

How’ard L’Heu- reux was the student manager. In basketball Bolton again up- held her record when the Lady Bears won the names of Rapides Parish and Central Louisiana Champions. The girls won for the school two loving cups, and .'or themselves individually, beau- tiful miniature gold basketballs. The team beat everyone they played at least once. The only two games of the season that were lost were to Poland, who the Bears beat in both rallies.

The boys’ basketball team also played creditable ball, losing only five out of fourteen games. Ben Roberts (Captain) was high point man. closely followed by Burnett. Both boys are considered two of the best forwards in the state. The Bears’ cage team was made •p of Eddie Whitman. Willie McMichael, Jack Burnett, Ben Roberts, William Mitchell and Earl Speilman. The BoP on track team is the newly hailed Central Louisiana Champion, gaining this title by inning over the DeRidder High hool by the close score of 44-40.

Many and many a time we have heard this question asked of a senior by members of the lower classes. Ot course the senior is horrified that such an important thing is not known to every member of Bolton High student body. This unknown thing that causes so much amazement to the fresh- men is one of the most important factors in the literary career of Bolton High. This is nothing more than a book containing the his- tory ol the memorable teats attained by the students during the pre- ceding year. Not only is the history pul in words, but in pictures also, which will serve in later years to bring to you a recollection of your former happy school days.

Page Seventy-two May, 1925 CUMTUX Page Three PRESS CLUB TO BE FORMED AT BOLTON Object To Promote Interent In Journalistic Work The opinion has l een expressed in many quarters that Bolton should have a Press Club. Amonx the many students who are con- nected with Cumtux. or the Bruin, or without definite connection with either publication, yet feel a desire to develop a mastery of some lorm of literary expression, there is abundance of material to have a very fine organization of this nature. Mr. Dyer, formerly editor-in- chief of Cumtux, very succintly expressed the purposes of such a club when he said that its pri- mary plan is to promote an inter- est in all phases of journalism, to increase skill along that line, and to heighten a student's literary taste and ability. Members of the English depart- ment have expressed themselves as being strongly in favor of the movement and have promised their co-operation in every pos- sible way. By the existence of this club, the school paper would be helped. Both Cumtux and the Bruin would receive better news items and articles, and the technical skill of the staffs of both publications would be improved. It would, to a certain extent, take the place of a regular course in journalism, similar to that offered in many high schools. General scholar- ship would 1m? improved, and the club would provide another means of advertising Bolton to the local community and the outside world. A few students met in the Type- writing Room and made plans for a tentative organization. A gen- eral meeting will be called in the next few days to perfect arrange- ments. LUCK Do you believe in good and bad luck? When you manage to get through the day at school, do you think it was luck that helped you? Luck varies with work. If you study and try to learn you will have good luck, but if you do not you must l e content with the o'her kind of fortune. A little story will help to illustrate this point. As Dora walked down the steps of the school house, she remarked to one of her companions, “I’m so lad this day is over. I thought sure I'd be asked a question in History today and I hadn’t opened my book.” You always were lucky about getting off, remarked one of the group. Next day Dora tried this method again, and it succeeded. For four or five days she managed to make her teacher think she knew 75'' of the work. But one day every- thing went wrong. She had a daily test and didn’t know the ----------------------N WICKS SPORTING GOODS CO. 1209 Third St. V------------------ Page Seventy-three full answer to any one of the ten questions. The end of the month had come and it was too late to make up a zero, especially since her grades for the first of the month averaged about 75. If I had only made the zero the first of the month I could have worked hard and made it up,” complained Dora. But who can say that it was not her fault, that she failed? While taking the work over she advises her friends not to depend on luck, because work is a Wronger and safer support. Mary Judith Sylvester. MORAL COURAGE If you were to try to find out how many people possess moral courage, you would be surprised at your results. Moral courage is the ability a person has to keep himself from doing anything that would bring discredit upon him- self. It is the power by which he controls himself. To acquire moral courage a per- son should first master himself. He must develope a strong will and a sense of right and wrong.

Becky how’d you happen to get here so early ?” “I came in with Roussel. You should have been at the dance last night; we had a grand time. I had a round with that cute boy we saw the other day and, Crewe, he dances just wonderful!” “I would like to have been there, but I had some lessons to get.” “Wait a minute.” And Becky went to her locker, but soon returned. “Say, Crewsy, what did we have in algebra?” “The last three problems and—” “Oh! let me have them; I had forgotten about that.” “Say, Becky, why don’t you study more? I know you can do good when you try.” “Well, I just don’t have time, and besides—” The bell rang and Becky had only two problems. After attendance: “Crewe, tell me how you work the other one.” “Well, let some letters represent the roots and then—” They had reached the classroom so they paused a few moments until the explanation was completed. After roll call the test grades were asked for and he read them. “George 90, Dorothy 88, Crewe 95, Rebecca 65,” and so on. Having finished that, he said, “Take alternate seats, please.” A whisper: “Crewe, sit around that way so I can see your paper.” After class Roussel asked Becky how many she got. EJECIM?] Patre Seventy-seven 31 9 2,5s “All but the last one,” was the reply. “Have you got your English ? Well, let me use it this next period.” A brief fifteen-minute concentration on her English and Becky had the Study Hall stirring with notes. Through all that period she showed that she was enjoying herself immensely. She ate sandwiches and “played up to ’em” at recess. But just before the bell rang, she was in a flurry hunting three-hole notebook paper. When it rang she reported to the laboratory. “Work in groups of two’s today.” “Gosh! I’m glad. Listen, Kitty, you start it ofit while I write mine up.” Becky did not quite get the results, so she inquired at the other table, “Kenneth, what’s the results of (b) ?” “Rebecca, what are you doing away from your desk? Go back there and do your own work.” “He’s just got a spite on me. Kitty goes all around and he never says anything to her.” Then she reads a note she has in her pocket, smiles, and immediately looks ill. When the bell rings she gets an excuse for leave on plea of sickness. She and her corre- spondent did not know their History. tme bruin Page Seventy-eight 31 9 2,5 5 3 Evolution Freshman: “I don’t know.” Sophomore: “I am not prepared.” Junior: “I do not remember.” Senior: “I don’t believe I can add anything to what has been said.” Father: “Why are you so far behind in your studies?” Son: “So that I may pursue them, father.” “No, I’ve never ridden a donkey in all my life.” “Say, you want to get onto yourself.” “What d’ye say, little lady?

The day when black cats cross our path, salt cellars turn over and witches weave their spells. All you unbelievers listen to this tale of terror and see what happened to fair Susy on this fatal day. It all began with the clock. It must have been the witches’ spell that stopped the hands and made poor Susy wake at 8:25 and miss her first hour class. There was a mad scramble to get dressed, then breakfast—darn that salt cellar—over it went and Susy ran out of the front door. Down the steps she stumbled over a black, black cat and on she went to school, getting there about 9:15. What could she tell Mr. Smith ? The bell rang! At last! Her vacant period. She had promised Tom to meet him in the Library. Now to get by Mr. Balcar—that’s the second time he told her to sit down. After getting permission from Mr. Balcar she started toward the Library, but—the janitor had placed a ladder in the hall to put up the carnival picture, and unconsciously Susy strolled under it. Alas! her foot slipped on a banana peel and our Susy—new dress and all, was thrown in a heap. One more class and then back home. But here other problems came up, the cook had not come and it was up to the sister to get lunch. They had sardines and pickles and pie which, together, do not give a person a cheerful disposition.

Just the same, the fifth period was a whole hour. Luck was against Susy, and having broken a condenser—with visions of her allowance gone for months and months—she absentmindedly opened the gas and—but the class had gone and Susy walked homeward—oh! so hungry. The pantry had only some onions, so she tried to forget her hunger by remembering Tom was coming at seven for an early date. Tom came with the usual smiling self, but somehow he remembered something very important he just had to do; left too early. Heartbroken, Susy started to study, but the lights went out just then and, stumbling over three chairs, a table and sister’s shoes, poor Susy sank in bed. “Oh, what a day,” she murmured just as the slats fell out. “I give up;” and continued the night on the floor. Moral: Stay in bed on Friday, the 13th, unless you happen to be born on that day, and even then something may happen. —Rose Cohn.

ROY VANDERFORD —Quarterback. Here we present 125 lbs. of football grit. Roy, play- ing his last year with the Bears, proved the best cap- tain that Bolton has ever had. ALTERNATE CAPTAIN JULIUS CLAY — Half- back. Here he comes; there he goes. Like a flivver with a broken steering knuckle. Julius, the best broken- field runner to ever wear the Blue and White, will captain the 1925 team. ELMUS PENNY—Tackle. Elmus had his best year during the 1924 season. Playing his third year Varsity ball, he found his natural niche at tackle and wrought havoc during the season. He is alternate captain in 1925. HARRY BROWN—End. Harry brought fame to Bolton and the renowned Brown brothers by being placed at right end on the All-State Team. And any- body who saw Harry play that defensive end, believed the pickers. CURTIS ROCKHOLD —Tackle. Curtis is ably upholding the name of the Rockholds as excellent football play- ers. Throughout the sea- son Curt showed the fight- ing spirit of a great tackle. He’ll answer present in 1925. Pajce Ninety ROY LILLY—Guard. Roy, a Glenmora product, came to Bolton unheard of, but when Thanksgiving rolled around, everybody knew of Roy. Never a star and yet always dependable, he was the sort of player that a coach delights in. LEWELL BREITHAUPT —Center. Another proof that it does not take all brawn to make a football player. 118 pounds of fighting spirit that conquered many a heavier opponent. This was Lewell’s last year. EARL DOWNS—End and Guard. “Jelly,” after a hard luck season in 1923, came through this year in great style. “Cyclops” specialty was intercepting forward passes while playing guard. J. B. LUKER—End. Though late in coming out, J. B. proved a whip on the receiving end of a forwa pass. His touchdown beat Monroe. He’ll don the cleats again in September. ETIEN LeBLANC — Half- back. French in name, French in spirit. Rarely do you see a harder tackier and a bet- ter field general. “Ham” will be back next season and much is expected of him. Pa te Ninety-one 31 9 2,5 JAMES ROUGEOU —Half- back. “Griper” could easily be the hero of the Horatio Alger book, “Pluck Wins.” Three years of scrubbing and then his letter. James was one of the best backs on the team when he was in good shape. HARVEY HUDSON —Center. “Floggy,” with a never- quit spirit, at last earned his football “B.” He’ll be back in 1925 and all our opponents have, therefore, ordered cast iron jersies. WILLIE McMICHAEL —Fullback. Who’da thunk it?—is that Willie out there at full- back? Carefree Willie made Bolton a good full until studies got him, and then he made Coach a good scoreboard keeper. BEN WINDHAM—Guard. “Grass Pulling” Ben was always in every play with a hefty drive and a cheery smile. His big bulk will be missed during the com- ing season, but some col- lege will get a good foot- ball player. LUND HARPER — End, Tackle and Full. The old saw about a “Jack of all Trades” being mas- ter of none, was disproved by Lund. He was the team’s utility man, playing in four different positions during the season, and playing each well. THE BRUIN Page Ninety-two s) 19 z 5® I WILSON COOK—End. Another ’23 scrub who made good was Wilson. His end play throughout the season was high class and it’s good to be able to say that he’ll be back in September. ROUSSELL COMPTON —Full and Guard. Roussell was only with us one year, but he showed enough stuff from Septem- ber to Thanksgiving to get that “B.” His defensive work was a terror to all teams and his place will be hard to fill this fall. HOWARD L’HEUREUX —Manager. We failed to get Howard in his favorite pose, that is, with a lime bucket in one hand and a “Chester- field” in the other. But, after all, Coach’s right- hand man could swing a wicked ten-yard line—- (’member the Shreveport game, huh!!) The Results of That Long, Weary Grind!

C. Cate carried twenty husky men to Camp John Evans for their preliminary training. On their return from camp and with the squad augmented to fifty men, real work began at the City Park under Coaches Cate and Besseler in preparation for the opening of the season with Marksville. Coach Cate had to build his team around the six letter men returning, Captain Vanderford, Alternate Captain Clay, Brown, Windham, Penny and Abbott. Of these six Abbott dropped by the wayside due to scholastic ineligi- bility, and in most of the games the team was made up of green material. But learning as the season progressed the Bear team finished up in good style, climaxing a good season with an unexpected win over Monroe 6-0. In the first game of the season, with our French friends from Avoyelles Parish, under a blistering sun, the Bear neophytes, with only five fundamental plays, turned back Marksville 26-0. Then Glenmora tasted the dregs when Bolton beat them in a listless game. Our first thrill came when Colfax, fighting desperately, held the score at 20-13 at the end of the first half, but were finally snowed under 45-13. The first strong opponent of the season caused Bolton grief when the Homer Oilers trimmed the Bears in a well played game at Homer, 25-0. But the team came back in great style the following week-end, trimming the champion- ship touted Oakdale eleven by a 31 to 0 score. Then came that fatal trip to Baton Rouge when hard luck befell the 1 Hi BRUIN Pasre Ninety-four S1 9 2 511 3 E team in the loss of Vanderford and McMichael in the first quarter, causing a 14 to 0 loss to the Bull Dogs. The Home-Coming game with Winnfield brought joy to the old students when Winnfield went down in a 19 to 0 defeat. Then the trip to Lake Charles in which the Bears, with no available substitutes, fought the Wild Cats for three quarters maintaining a 10 to 7 lead, only to lose when Lake Charles miraculously scored three touchdowns late in the last quarter. The Shreveport team—they came; they saw; they conquered—and the best team to perform at the City Park in three years went back with a 34 to 6 victory. The season ended gloriously. Monroe was doped to win over Bolton by about twenty points, but the Bears, led by the scintillating Clay, who gained practically 90 per cent of the yardage, downed them 6 to 0. The 1924 team, composed mostly of inexperienced players, proved in the end to be a good team and their record approached that of Coach Cate’s 1922 team. The nice thing about them was their fighting spirit, which caused them to rise and fight back after having been defeated the previous Saturday. So we can say: “There may have been better teams in Bolton, but to the 1924 team goes the palm for fighting spirit.” Page Ninety-five I E 31 9 2.511 CAPT. FEROL SCHAEDEL —Guard. Ferol’s last season was her best and she will be greatly missed in next year’s line- up. AUDREY HARNISCH —Center. Audrey played brilliant ball all through the season and it will be hard to find someone to take her place next season. DRUE NUGENT—Forward. Drue’s accurate goal shoot- ing was largely responsible for the many victories. Much is expected from her next season. DOROTHY LUKER—Guard. Dorothy’s clever and fast guarding made accurate shooting almost impossible for the Lady Bears’ op- ponents. LELIA DAMMON—Sub. Bolton had a very efficient substitute in Lelia Dam- mon, and she will no doubt have a regular place next spring. ZILPHA WILLSON —Center. “Never say die’’ seems to be Zilpha’s motto. Thro’ all the games she showed the fighting spirit, from whistle to whistle, that wins games. VERNIA DENNY —Forward. Vernia’s clever passwork and splendid playing made her a good running mate for Drue. ELOISE EDWARDS—Sub. Though this was her first year, Eloise’s work was excellent and she promises to fill a regular place next year. Page Ninety-six Lady Bears’ Season The outstanding feature of the Lady Bears’ highly successful season of 1925 is easily the fighting spirit of the players. Around the nucleus of one letter member, Captain Schaedel, was built a sextette who manifested a Hashing offensive and an impregnable defense that easily accounts for the many victories to their credit, and culminated in the championship of the Parish and Central Louisiana rallies. Fighting doggedly through game after game, improve- ment was noticeable from week to week. The goal shooters, Drue Nugent and Vernia Denny, displayed an ever increas- ing accuracy in making their baskets, and a coolness that seldom could be overcome. The centers, Audrey Harnisch and Zilpha Willson, played a scintillating game in covering their territory; while the steady grit of Captain Schaedel and Dorothy Luker as guards diminished many scores for the opposing team. Nor should the clever subs, Lelia Dammon and Eloise Edwards, go unnoticed. Less experienced than the regulars, they acquitted themselves with credit in many a hard place. The season opened with victories over Tioga and Forest Hill, and defeats by Poland, the only ones chalked against the Ladies. Spurred onward, rather than discouraged, the team staged a strong come-back and defeated this team twice a few weeks later. With a majority of the team still in school next year, including both forwards, prospects are unusually bright for a third championship schedule. November 25 December 11.. January 26_. February 12.

High point man in every game he was in; and when you add to that the fact that he admirably cap- tained the best team that Bolton has had in four years, you can see that Ben’s last year was his best. JACK BURNETT —Alternate Captain and Forward. “Rudy” was so like the lit- tle boy who “when he was good was awful good” and so forth. But Jack, with his deceptive dribbling, was most times good, and made Ben a good running mate. EDDIE WHITMAN —Center. Being able to run a 4:40 mile does not usually help one to be a basketball player, but it evidently helped Eddie. Whitman was the hub of Bolton’s offensive machine. EARL SPEILMAN—Guard. Earl’s nightly journey via old Betsy may have caused a shortage of sleep, but it did not interfere with his prowess as an efficient guard. WILLIAM MITCHELL —Guard. We can’t claim “Mitch” as our own (Lecompte sent him to us), but Coach “Bes” can claim all the credit for developing that melodious voice. Good guards, like “Mitch,” are scarce and we appreciate him. rflE BRUIN Page Ninety-eight i 319 WILLIE McMICHAEL —Forward and Center. Capt. Blood and his crew of “Cubs.” But you can’t keep a pood man down, and Willie played regular sized Bear basketball long enough to win his “B.” FRED CHANNEL —Manager. Blowing up basketballs didn’t make Fred as rotund as he is. No, that’s just the importance that Fred feels on account of his label as the best man- ager that Bolton has ever had. f The Results of Boys’ Basketball. 1925 January 14_ January 26.

A wealth of new material reported and as the work progressed from day to day it soon became evident that the two guard positions would be well taken care of by William Mitchell, who played with Lecompte last year, and Earl Speilman, who was with Lamourie last season. The second team was composed of such capable players as Leslie Wilson and Willie McMichael, forwards; Everett Harper, center; and Jim Ferguson and Florent Sanders, guards. Both teams were outfitted in new suits in the school colors, white suits, trimmed in blue. On account of continued bad weather the Bears did not open their season until January 14th, when they tackled the strong Forest Hill team on the local court. The Bears displayed a fine brand of passwork, their shooting was excel- lent, and their defense was almost air-tight as was evidenced by Bolton coming out on the long end of a 31 to 12 score. The Bears soon proved to their supporters that they were a real strong team when they invaded Shreveport and took the first game of a two-game series 20 to 15, and the following day completely snowing under the Yellow Jackets to the tune of 38 to 7. It was the first time in years that a Bolton team had defeated a Shreveport team on their own grounds. Out of eighteen games played, the Bears won thirteen and lost five. This is the best record of any basketball team that ever represented Bolton High School. HE curtain went up for work with the Basketball tossers December 1st. Coach Besseler faced a tough job, having only three letter men back from last year’s team to work with. These men were Captain Ben Roberts and Jack Burnett, forwards, PaRO One Hundred 2ig z 5(5 Urania, State basketball champions, and Lecompte, Bol- ton’s old rivals, were the only two teams that really out- classed the Bears this year. Bolton closed the 1925 basketball season at the Central Louisiana Rally held at Louisiana College. They won additional glory by being one of the four teams out of twenty-eight entered to go into the semi-finals. The Bears fought a hard and courageous battle, but went down in defeat before the superior teamwork and shooting of the Urania High School State Champions. Of the six players that won letters the leading one was Captain Ben Roberts. Roberts was also high point man on the team, scoring 155 points out of his team’s total of 358. Roberts’ shooting at all times was accurate as well as con- sistent and his work this year has earned for him the distinction of being one of the best high school forwards in the State. Jack Burnett, playing the other forward position, was second high point man, with 92 to his credit. Eddie Whitman and Willie McMichael gave good accounts of themselves at center and it was the all around playing of these two and their timely shooting that helped put many a game on ice for the Bears. But to William Mitchell and Earl Speilman goes the praise for their stellar work in turning back and keeping down the opponents’ scores. Page One Hundred One Top Row—Coach H. C.

Forty men responded, headed by the 1923 letter men, Captain Rougeou, Whitman, Sanchez, Burnett, Brown and McMichael. The distance men were sent over the cross- country course and even on the coldest days one could see the Bear distance men, bundled in sweat clothes, making the training run. The other candidates were put through four weeks of intensive gym training before going out doors. The months of February and early March were spent in severe training by the Bolton Spikemen and then the day of the first meet approached. Coach Cate had originally scheduled the meet with Homer, but a severe and prolonged epidemic of “cold feetitis” caused the Oilers to cancel at the last minute. But Winnfield obliged by staging a triangular meet with Ruston and Bolton, in which the Bruin team pro- ceeded to garner 73 points to Ruston’s 37 and Winnfield’s 28. In this meet the Bears won seven first places to Rus- ton’s five and Winnfield’s three, and scored in every event, with Whitman the high scorer with twelve points. The Bear team then proceeded to acquire the first cup of the 1925 season by retaining the Central Louisiana Championship after a hard fight with DeRidder, winning by a 44 to 40 score over this team. The loss of Whitman, who sprained an ankle in the Urania-Bear basketball game of the night before, caused the meet to be closer than it other- wise would have been. This win rounded out the third year of Bolton’s regime as the best track team in Central Louisiana. n€ BRUIN Pajre One Hundred Three On the following week-end, April 4, the Bear spikemen showed the Rally visitors gathered in Alexandria for the Parish Rally, that the metropolis to the north, Shreveport, did not rate so much in track by winning a dual meet by an 82 to 49 score. In this meet Bolton won ten of the fifteen first places and tied in an eleventh. Jack Burnette was high point man of this meet with 21 counters. As we go to press with this book the big meet of the season is just ahead of us. The Baton Rouge Bull Dogs will be met here on April 11 and on April 18 the Bear team will seek new laurels at Natchitoches in the Northwest Rally. Then the big event of the season will be the State meet at Baton Rouge on April 23-25.

The pitching staff is the weakest part, but from the many candidates reporting there ought to be someone to fill this place. Practice has begun in earnest, and in a few weeks a strong team should be whip- ped into shape. Coach Besseler is working on the schedule, and some real interesting games are promised for the latter part of April and the first part of May. TENNIS Willie McMichael seems to be the best bet for a singles-player to rep- resent Bolton in the coming rallies. The doubles players will be picked from the following: Willie McMichael, Jack Burnett, Jim Ferguson, Her- bert Wilder and Morris Shapiro. Miss Grace Bradford will possibly enter the girls’ singles. Two of the following will represent us in the doubles: Grace Bradford, Myrtice Wolf or Dorothy Buie. ft T [ Wt BRUIN Pafre One Hundred Five Patfe One Hundred Six ADVEWCEIN3 ME.RTIS BOWIE1.
