-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
