As the ball clears I see a happy go-lucky person, Why, it's Ray Davis.” He's sporting a new Chryster convertible and, boy, does his billfold bulge: He must have invented an all powerful bomb. He always had a knack at mak- ing money and explosives. Part of the mist reappears and out of it rises a beautiful blonde- Why, it's Della Mae Hounshell. Would you listen to that voice? No wonder she's been elected America's No. 1 lullaby singer. Now some of the mist leaves and Della Mae disappears ami in her place appears Estelle Lambert, world famous artist. She won her fame by paint- ing a portrait of Danny Kaye, famou® Hollywood actor. She did quite well for herself--got quite a handsome man in tow. What's this I see? It is Juanita Tibbs getting off the train and would you watch her smile for the photographers! She's been voted America's most Energetic Woman. Let me warn you-- photographers are energy parasites. Good-luck and eat your Wheaties, Tibbsie. Ah! The mist is gone now and I see another classmate. It's handsome Billy Lindamood. Believe it or not, Billy is slaying those Hollywood stars. He didn't want to go out there until he saw what a great hit Jane and Lillian Crabtree were making. Speaking of Lilly and Jane,let's see what they are doing. I hear music and voices. Wait, it's a music hall in San Francisco! Together they pack the house. In case you are interested, the min guy in the audience is Gene Hall. These words appear in the crystal ball, “If you need nursing call Neel or Cassell. That must be Norma and Claudine. They're out on their own and have a couple of male patients whose only ache is in the heart. I be- lieve they are Claude Kidd and Walter Repass. How about that, girls? Listen: Do you heer all that shouting? They are yelling for basket- ball stars--Kenneth Tibbs and Billy Umbarger. They're playing for the New Jersey Giraffes. They are really two-gooding guys. Good-luck, boys! Now I see a lot of lights flashing and commands being given to the lovely model, Joyce Neel, America's = Model , as she should be, with that figure. She just got back from ‘aris and when those French wolves saw the wedding band Peery gave her, they broke down and cried. Here isthe busiest girl I've seen since I finished school- Betty Jo Smith. She is certainly keeping that office in order and from the looks of things she's keeping the boss pretty well in hand. Well, Jo, he certainly is a handsome fellow. Again I hear shouts and commands but this time they are different. I see Robert Hall in command of the U.SS, Truman. Bob is very handsome in are ic ahaa (Ket me assure you, it is not the uniform at which I'm look- ing. Well, I see Eddie Hubble is playing for the New York Giants. The fans st ill scream for the handsome brute like we did at school. Now I see a pretty little school teacher. No wonder those kids are so good. Anybody would behave for that sweet teacher, Betty Sue Groseclose. Last but not least is Tommy Buck. Just look at the big, handsome guy! He is a ae killer in that Navy uniform. That is plain to see when you look at t etovely brunette with hi Now, see w! nappened’ to Grace Neel. Oh; 1 forgot, she's writing se aieeen SED: NOT IS TORY It was on a bright September day that this circus began- September the first, to be exact. The teachers were the keepers and trainers and they had a hard time that year because we were a lot of wild, untrained creatures. There were thirty of us in one cage and our trainers took periods with us since one couldn't stand it all day. We had a short vacation before we went into custody again. In September, 1947 we went back into our pleasant cages and individual training chairs. Some of our fellow creatures either couldn't take or didn't like our training so they escaped and regained their freedom. The remainder pass- ed out of the Sophomore year into the big Junior year. Our trainers helped us to decide on this motto in the year of 1948: THE PAST IS GONE BUT THE FUTURE IS STILL OUR OWN. We tried hard to for- get the days of our freedom and to work hard for the future. We added some new members to our list that year- creatures from other school jungles. Some grand shows and brilliant performances were given that year. One in particular, directed by Miss Ruth Crabtree, won us renown in the world of entertainment. It was Who Killed Aunt Caroline? We all braved the hardships of captivity and now we are Seniors- the greatest honor that can be bestowed upon a group of creatures. This year we are allowed more freedom, since we have learned to act properly. Our shows are as good as ever but more refined, quiet am musical. This year we have as our leader Pegry Crabtree, who does our bidding and does it well. We are twenty in number, the largest group ever to prepare for life in the world outside of Ceres High School. The Junior Class gave us a lovely semi-formal banquet. In return for this we gave them an outdoor party. Now we say, Good-bye to Ceres High School. We thank our instructors for being kind and patient with us in our wild state and we are extremely grateful to them for helping us to become wheat we are today. We leave you with the thought expressed by our Senior Class motto, WE LEARN BY DOING. 8SS p0l . Sornomones dd lens Buddy as PRESHMEN rre Ss: DoRA ANN SPonWS. Jenny Jo | cd Lc SCA Dicer Pes.

BASEBAII © The Ceres baseball team began the 1950 season with seven returned letter- men, losing only two regulars from last year's squad. Eddie Hubble was elected captain of the nine with Ray Davis, co-captain. The 1949 team broke even by winning two games from Bland and by losing two games to Rocky Gap. The 1950 team to date has had much better luck, having won three games and having lost none. The season opened on March 3lst. at Bland. At the end of the game Ceres was on the long end of a 8-0 score. On April 7th. Rocky Gap traveled to Ceres for the second game of the season. Ceres again won by a score of 24-1. April llth. Ceres defeated a scrappy Jackson Memorial team, 14-3. Don Barger has proven to be the most effective on the mound this season, with Rey Davis, Sherril Cox, Eddie Hubble and Tommy Buck fighting for top honors at the plate. The team has shown a wonderful spirit of co-operation and good sportsmanship. oYSBaSKerball The Ceres boys' team had a most erratic season, losing seven games and winning four. The team wn two games from Rocky Gap and two from Egrleston and lost three to Bland, two to Burkes Garden and one each to Newport and Jackson Memorial. After a hard fought game the team lost to Newport in the finals of the district tournament. Scoring for the team was as follows: Name Captain- Bill Umbarger Tommy Buck Roddy Crabtree Don Barger Robert Hall Robin Scott Eddie Hubble Ray Davis = rn Catch?! - = PereneTerTCHHEETETE Giris’ Basketba)? @ The girls' basketball season was rated as a very successful one, indeed. They came out first in the district and second in the county tournament. On November 10th.,Ceres played Rocky Gap on the Pembroke floor. Ethel Cregar starred in the scoring column with 19 points. Estelle Lambert wasn't far behind with 10 points. Winning this game to the tune of 32-22, gave us a chance to play on Saturday night in the finals, when we played Newport. This turned out to be the most exciting game of the season. Ceres was first ahead, and then Newport. When the game ended, Ceres was two points in the lead. Cregar and Groseclose both starred with 15 points each. The score was 32-30. By winning this game Ceres girls won the title of District Champions. The school added six blue and gold satin uniforms to the girls' squad this year. They really looked good. On November 18th. the county tournament started and we played Rocky Gap again. Ceres won this game by a score of 52-30. Cregar scored 21 points, Lambert, 17 points and Groseclose, 14 points. It's rather a thrill to see these fast, little forwards on the floor. Winning this game gave us a chance to play on Saturday night in the finals. We played Bland but since we were outclassed and outsized, we lost by a small score. Cregar starred with 16 points. We consider our season very successful since the only team to which we lost was Bland. With more practice in a gym we would have a better chance of Winning. Here's hoping we'll have one in the near future. We missed two of our first string guards from last year who were unable to play this year- Felicia Atkins and Justine Hanshew. We lost Betty Buck, a first rate guard, in October. Our first string forwards were little but loud this year. They each made the following points: Ethel Cregar, 211, Betty Sue Groseclose, 116, and Estelle Lambert, 78. Our guards were extra good. Norma Cassell is one of the smoothest, best guards in the county. Grace Neel, Peggy Shufflebarger, Eleanor Hall and Della Mae Hounshell were gtod guards, also. We wish to thank Miss Marie Crabtree, our coach, for her time and effort in helping us to bring victory to Ceres High School again. In her six years of basketball coaching at Ceres High School there have been five champion- ships won. We think this is a splendid record. Our appreciation also goes to Mrs. J. M. Thomas, our manager, and Mrs. Ray Tibbs, our scorekeeper. The team regrets very much the loss of our Seniors- Betty Sue Groseclose, Estelle Lambert, Norma Cassell, Grace Neel, Juanita Tibbs and Della Mae Hounshell. Next year's team has a bright outlook with some splendid players coming in. The season ended with a party during which medals and letters were award- ed to outstanding players.
