THE LAIR world and won a gold medal. Not satisfied with jumping he became a member of the hurdle relay team which won second place in the C. A. C. meet. Coach Hudson returned to his place on the bench as Miss Mary Steeds rose to call forth those lionesses” deserving sports honors. Foremost in the list of names was Frma Dahlhauscn, who had caused quite a ripple in the swimming world. Her medals for the crawl and backstroke gleamed as the sun struck them. Erma stepped aside to make room for Frances Moody. Eleanor Scott, Angelyn Bogus, and Helen Fox. These girls moved back, and Miss Steeds called forward the basketball players, Lois Stewart, Helen Fox, forwards; Betty Bechtel and Eleanor Parry, guards, through many successful games against other homerooms. Miss Steeds then called forth Lois Altman, who had received recognition as a health contest participant when a cub. and William Novince and Helen Fox, who had won their places as healthiest boy and girl for the 11A grade. Amid a storm of applause those honored in athletics stepped aside. Mr. Whitney then stepped up to introduce Katherine Schneider, who in 1V28 fell into the deep swamp of Foreign Languages. Everyone thought she would be lost to the tribe forever. But, however, Katherine came through successfully, winning the French Medal in the city contest. Next in order came Ann Semerar who had set a record for all future sociology aspirants by making the highest score ever received in the mid-term sociology exam. Then,” continued Mr. Whitney, we have Sanford Ball who, as a cub, made excursions into the depths of the jungle and returned with many aviation trophies. Mr. Whitney smiled as he introduced Edward Murray and Cyril Levy. He w-as proud of the record they had made when they entered the forest of Math, where stolid guards stood arrayed in numerical garments in squads of add, subtract, times, and divide, with their lieutenants, Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry. These squads had caused much worry to the class but not to Ed and Cyril, who took by force all four, thus gaining first place in the Math division of the 12A power test. He then had the pleasure of recognizing Angelyn Bogus, w'ho had acquired the position of student teacher in chemistry—another victory for the tribe. She was the first girl to work as a teacher’s assistant, in the chemistry lab in the Collin wood Jungle. Barbara Scott, who, while still a 12B, wandered into the dense wilderness of literature capturing an award with her short story. Not content with this conquest, she allowed her lucky spirit to lead her into the deep woods of Obcrlin College, where the ancient Tribes of Knowledge dwelt. Here the chiefs of the Obcrlin Clan bestowed upon her the English Scholarship. Mr. Whitney, calling the five remaining leaders to the front declared that he looked with great satisfaction upon the achievements of Betty Bechtel, Norma l.ockncr, Katherine Schneider, Grace Reinhardt, and Ed Murray, who received honor pins for scholastic work. » 4 » Suddenly, just as Mr. Whitney concluded, the audience was disturbed by a commotion. Looking up they saw a grow ) of comrades hurrying towards them. The newcomers explained that as tiny were hunting tiny had peered through tin-trees and gazed upon the great open Meadow of the World. Tiny had seen— Dorothy Garbutt darning Edward Maurer’s socks, and now and then pausing to read a page from some weighty thesis beside her— Francis Solomon, finance manager for the Nason Bros, clothing concern, closing a business deal with J. C. Volmcr, philanthropist— Lucille Mills, dressed in barbaric orange and green lounging pajamas, sculping statues in her modernistic studio— [28]

THE L A i R Jubilee Day in the Jungle ar and vi ide were known the deeds of the Tribe of Leontocephalous, but on the day of recognition, the whole jungle assembled to pay homage to them. The trumpet blasts welcomed the approach of the leaders in sports and in scholarship, as the parade neared the reviewing stand where sat the great judges, Mr. Frank 1 . Whitney, Mrs. l.ucy Carr, Mr. I . L. Simmons, Mr. P. S. Yost, Mr. C. H. Hudson and Miss Mary Steeds. Coach Yost summoned Max Malavasic to the platform beside him. Turning to the other lions he smiled and said, You, the 'Leontocephalous’ ones, can well be proud of your jungle-mate, Max. As a cub, he played tackle on the Junior High football team that won the city championship in 1927. As he grew older and became more sure of his abilities, he became varsity captain. His fierce attack struck fear to the hearts of opponents as he brought them swiftly to ground. 1 gladly present Max with his third football ‘C’ as right tackle. The applause of the jungle kings greeted Max as he took his place beside his friends in the audience. The next lion to be recognized is bill Novince,” continued Mr. Yost. Bill has earned the 'C’ he is about to receive. While all you other lions grew big and husky. Bill remained small but ambitious. His MS pounds gave him the appearance of a cub but he was not daunted. For two years he struggled for a position on the battlefield with little success. The third year, however, he opened the eyes of coaches and spectators when he rightly earned the name of 'Flashy’ on the gridiron.” Again the dense foliage surrounding the glade shook with the vibrations of the mighty roars sent up in admiration. As Bill took his place in the audience, Victor Gorup was called forth. Victor Gorup must be a familiar figure to all of you,” Mr. Yost said. When he was a cub he too played on the 1927 junior championship team. He filled his position as quarter-back so well that he soon won a place on the varsity where he called signals to his team mates until torn ligaments in his ankle and a back injury drew him from the scene of action, lie has deported himself in a manner fitting a fighting lion and I gladly present him with a 'C ” The four-year ruling barred Jack Palmer from playing in the 1930 football games, but those who met him in former years as a tearing, line-breaking cub on the junior team and later as a varsity right-guard, will agree with me that Jack deserves the 'C he has won.” Coach Yost bowed and took his place. Coach Clarence Hudson mounted the platform as the Jungle Orchestra played a victory march. I’m afraid I shall have to trouble Bill Novince to come up here again,” he cried. You perhaps never knew that a lion could run for a mile at top speed, but he can. You have here in your own circle one of the city’s fastest milers, Bill Novince. He has also distinguished himself as a speed relay man.” Bill shook hands with the coach and thanked him as he was handed his bronze and gold medals. Jack Palmer’s name is also to be read for track,” announced Mr. Hudson. We can’t, you know, forget this outstanding 'half-miler' and 220' man.” Ronald Morgan’s curly head often placed itself ahead of all others in the ’half-mile’ midget team.” Coach Hudson smiled as Ronnie’ blushed and received his plaudits. Francis Solomon finally marched into place as the cheers of the throng reached his ears. I Ie was chief high jumper of the Leontocephalous ones. At the 1930 C. A. C. meet at the Public Auditorium he had established a place for himself in the sports f 27 1
