REBOUNDS By Clymer Resuming basketball after an absence of two seasons the El Dorado Grizzlies made an excellent showing. Lack of sufficient interest and players among some schools this year made league play impractical. Games were scheduled with schools that supported teams and much interest was shown. With the war now over and men returning to school it is believed that athletics may resume their pre-war schedule by next fall. The Grizzlies began their season very slowly, drawing heavily on the manpower then enrolled. Experience was at a minimum but enthusiasm was great. The second semester brought back many former stu- dents with more experience and the team steadily improved. As a finale, the Grizzlies were hosts to eight competing teams for an unofficial state tournament. Much interest was shown and many of the games were thrillers. El Dorado went through the bracket unde- feated by upsetting favored Kansas City Junior College for the championship. Season ' s Games El Dorado 25 Ark City 21 25 St. John 47 23 Wichita U.

Varsity Club Varsity Club was formed second sem- ester of this year when five former mem- bers, of the returning veterans, came back to enroll in Juco. Before the war this was a fairly large organization which is now composed of all men who have made a letter in our interscholastic sports. We now have representatives of the state cham- pion football team of 1942 tha t won all eight games of the season ; Bob Swen- gel, Bill Binter, and Pieratt Johnson, Merle Ayler is also a two year football letterman playing on the 1940 and ' 41 teams that had very successful seasons. Warren Grist made his letter when he played on the 1941 tennis team, Bob Swengle was a member of our last track team before the war brought that sport to a halt. These five men were elected as offi- cers of the club with Bob Swengle as pres- ident, Bill Binter vice-president, Pieratt Johnson secretary, Merle Ayler, treasurer, and Warren Grist as the Student Council representative. Our new coach, Joe Wal- lace, who is also a returned serviceman, is the sponsor. With this year ' s letter men in basketball and track the organization once again is active in school policies and activities. f ' i CHEERLEADERS: Judy Sehrepfer, Elvin Ferguson, Evelyn Shaffer. -17-
