Boys’ Basketball Team Boys’ Basketball Team The boys’ basketball of 1949-50 got off to a bad start at the Center High School, with about twenty boys enrolled to begin with. The lettermen back from last year were Ernest Lewellen, Bobby A. Palmer, Bobby Cowden, Eugene Cole, Charlie Sells, Kenneth Evans, and Raymond Bontz. For Captain, we boys chose Ernest Lewellen, and for Co-Captain, Bobby Cowden. We played two games in the Center Tournament, winning the first game and losing the second by a very close score which gave us second place in the tournament. Later we went to the Eolia Tournament and we played our first game with Silex, and lost 27 to 43. We were now playing for Consolation, in which we played Frankford’s “A” team and Bowling Green’s “B team. We beat Frankford 27 to 64 and Bowling Green’s “B” team 26 to 43. The fourth place trophy was a beauty and we boys took turns holding it on our way back home from Eolia BOYS’ SCORES Center--44 New London-- 16 Center- -39 New London-- 16 Center--19 Ilasco ■32 Center- -59 Laddonia 30 Center--08 F rankford 22 Center- -40 Perry •26 Center--32 Farber ■19 Center- -39 Wellsville 13 Center--49 Laddonia 22 Center- -42 Wellsville 48 Center--40 Ilasco ■25 Center- -35 Ilasco •16 Center--32 Frankford 13 Center- -43 Farber •39 21

Cheerleaders BACK: Marilyn How aid, Etta Mae Lnlow, Sue Brothers. FRONT: Florence Smith, Jean Calhoun. Rah! Rah! Pep Team After the tournament this year, we were completely convinced that our pep team was really the pride and joy of our basketball teams. The more the five gold and maroon-clad girls yelled, the harder the Bulldogs played. They proudly twirled and whirled the school colors in their full skirts and blouses of gold and maroon, as they went through their motions to encourage the teams on to victory. The school song and two of their favorite yells were adopted by the Student-Faculty Council and they are printed below. Our School Song We're loyal to you, Center High! To you we'll be true, Center High! We'll bank you to stand 'gainst the best in the land, For we know you have sand, Center High. Rah! Rah! So follow that ball, Center High!
