-g, . .H-- ' ISI! 5152 J The Qhododendron 1924 OMAR YOUNG flrootball Captain, '24J Who ever said that a star football player could not be a good student, a sheik, and anything else anyone could desire. Well, we are ready to refute the statement, with Omar Young as our proof. Omar's athletic ability is perhaps one of his greatest assets as he has just com- pleted two years of football and one of basket-ball. Because of his personality and consistent playing he has been chosen to lead us on the gridiron this coming fall. He is a favorite among the girls, the teachers, and the boys,-in fact, he is liked by everyone who meets him. Since Omar is numbered among the Junior members we- are expecting to receive even greater things from him next year. ' it Z? it HEYWARD WILLIAMS qnasketbaii captain, '24J Any one who wanted a thrill last winter knew where he would get it, that is, if he wanted it badly enough to walk to the High School Gym when a basket-ball game was to be played. Tow-headed Swede, or Heyward Williams, the tall, handsome, light-haired basket-ball captain, could shoot a basket from any point on the floor, espe- cially when the score was running close. Then one of those long, sure baskets always brought heart throbs of joy to every spectator. Hey will long be remembered in B. H. S. for his leadership in athletics. KERMIT PROUDFOOT flfootball Captain, 'ZBJ Every boy and girl in Buckhannon Hi knows Foot on account of his athletic ability during the past four years. He has helped win many football games for B. H. S. as well as made a record for himself as a player. Poot was elected captain of the team by the boys because of his experience and his ability to diiect the team while on the field. ' HAYWARD HAMRICK flrootball Student Manager, '22-'23, Hick came to B. H. S. while but a boy and entered school as a Senior in Junior High. Any evening he could be found on the field with a sponge in one hand and a bucket of water in the other. He became popular among the boys because of his wil- lingness to lend a helping hand. For two years he has been forward on the basket-ball team and has another year to play. He is always willing to do something for the better- ment of his school and friends. RANDALL HAMRICK fBasket-ball Student Manager, '23-'24, Lefty is following in the footsteps of his brother l-lickf' He is just a Sopho- more, therefore he has two years to help develop both the team in football and basket- ball. He takes an active part in the interest of football management and many other things related to school. He has been Student Manager of basket-ball for.two years. l82l -Q

:gig 'Che Rhododendron 1924 WI-IO'S WHO IN ATHLETICS Ross BONAR, Athletic Manager QQQGQ' C, N B. H. S. Bonar is a synonym for success. It matters not how difficult the undertaking or how trying the task, if Mr. Bonar is the director, one knows the result will be as near perfection as human mind , ills-Lrgjlii can make it. It rs, therefore, no surprise that athletics in B. H. S. have been managed in the best way possible and that much of the success N T PW of the season is due to the diligent work and guidance of Mr. Bonar. But, he has done far more than prove himself an excellent teacher ancl an excep- tionally capable manager, for his characteristic thoroughness has instilled in the pupils of Buckhannon High a desire to do all things well, and years later, so deep is their love, admiration, and respect for him, his influence will be felt. Here's wishing Mr. Bonar a long, happy, successful life. cEBE ROSS qcoachp From the time Cebe could walk he has been an athlete. He has a frank, good natured smile that will win him anything, but his policy is work will bring the deeds. He was graduated from B. H. S. in 'l9, where he took an active part in all kinds of athleticsf . The following fall, he entered Wesleyan. In this school, too, he spent much time in athletic activities, but his school work did not suffer because of that. Coach Ross was a student of high standing both in high school and college. It is this standard he wishes all the boys working under him to reach. He has proven his ability as a coach. by the excellent teams he developed both in football and basket-ball. The sport writers and coaches over the state hold him in very high esteem, because of the clean sportsmanship he develops among the boys. Everybody likes Cebe. MABLE CLARK fGi1ls' Physical Training Director, Miss Mable Clark, the vivacious young lady who presides over the gym classes and coaches the girls' basket-ball team, is another one of our town girls who, after graduating from B. H. S. and going to college, found the call of her school irresistible and returned to teach the young hopefuls of her friends and relatives. This is Miss Clark's first year as teacher. She was a student of the American School of Physical Education in Chicago for several years, so she had to get acquainted all over again upon her return. But her sweet disposition and winning way won all hearts and now she is quite a favorite. Buckhannon Hi will do well to solicit the services of Miss Clark, for she is quite an asset to the faculty as well as a charming young person. ISII
