W fra mucnlnn ar ft Lettermen EDWIN BAYLESS: Ed was a senior playing his second year at forward and center. He was the tallest man on the team, towering six feet, was a good guard and did his part in the scoring. He was known as Big Ed to the'Athenian charges. ALBERT CANINE: Rodney played his second year at center. Although not a regular he was a good basket shot and, although not tall as centers go, he kept his place among them. Rodney will be lost to the squad next year. HERBERT DUKES: Herb served his school for the last time and could handle the ball and make it possible for others to connect with the basket. He was a good guard and always held his man in check. His place will be hard to fill next year. STANLEY IIARSHBARGER.: Stan played his first year at guard and, although he was not very tall, he controlled the ball and make it plenty tough for his opponents. Stan will be right here for the next two years. JAMES JOHNSON: Jimmy played his first year at forward and his height and accurate basket eye enabled him to make it plenty bad for the opponents. He was a good defensive man and, although not a regular, he always could be depended upon to do his share when he was needed. DoN KENDALL: Although only a freshman, Don earned his position on the varsity before the close of the season. His height and basket-eye proved to be a big asset to Coach Henry's aggregation. Don played his best game during the sectional tournament, competing in all three games. LEO NICCARTHY: Dick , a junior, was plenty fast. He did not always break into the scoring list, but seldom was his guarding to be excelled. He was a hard fighter and always did his share. Dick has one more year to go and will be heard from next year. ' PAUL llflALASKA: Pat , playing his last year for C. H. S., was the leading offense threat of the fighting Midgets. He was fast and shifty and gave his opponents plenty of trouble. Pat will be missed greatly next year. WENDELL KIRK: Wendy played his second year at center. He was a good defensive man and scored his share of the points. He was one of the tallest men on the team and could really get that ball off the bankboard. He has one more year to go and will make a strong bid for his position next year. HARRY RUTLEDGE: Harry played his first year on the varsity squad this year. Although not a regular, he held his own whenever his services were needed. Harry often participated in two games during one evening, since he played regular guard on the Bee team and substituted at guard on the first string squad. He is a junior and will be back next year to help make the 1934 season a big success. ' Athenian Bees A new name sprang into the lime-light this year. The Athenian Bees , coached by DeBee , was one of the best B teams in the state. They turned back such teams as Lebanon, Greencastle, Tipton and Washington Cof Indianapolisl. With Robert Stafford at the center berth, Harold Prosser and Harry Rutledge working the guard positions, and Pinkie Edwards and Chink Rice playing forward, the Bees had a keen passing and scoring attack which led them to victory over many of their opponents. Most of the boys have two or three more years to play on the high school basketball teams. With these and also William Groves, Byron Hamm, and Garnet Rice, Crawfordsville will still have plenty of material from which will be built many sturdy and winning teams. Page Fsftu Q

Through the cooperation of all the girls, who have willingly given of their time and efforts, the cookie and candy sales were quite successful. Delegates were sent to the district Sunshine convention held at Thorntown on November 4 and 5. The cheer bags, filled by the girls and distributed on Christmas Eve to the needy children brought joy and happiness to many homes. With love in my heart, forgetting self, and with charity for all, I will make the object of my life helpfulness and kindness to others. I shall try to tit myself to give intelligent service in making the community in which I live a safer and more beautiful place for little children. This, the creed of the Sunshine Society, explains the chief purpose of the organization. Iage Fzfty-one -

JA1,ATl-ICI'll.Clll Basketball Season Coach Charles Henry served his second year as basketball coach at C. H. S. and faced one of the toughest hardwood schedules that Crawfordsville has ever had. He was handicapped by lack of height all during the season, but in spite of this fact he held many of the stronger teams of the state to three and four points. The team gathered speed during the season and by tournament time Chuck had a hard working bunch of boys.

Their first game was with Ladoga'S Canners . The Athenians' defense was too much for the Cahners and they were defeated by a -score of 24 to 13. The afternoon game featured New Market's Purple Flyers who had shown strength throughout the season, but the Athenians clamped such a defense on the Flyers,' that they were able to get but two baskets. The Athenians crashed through New Marketis defense to gain a most spectacular victory of 39 to 7 from New Market 's favorite sons. The final game brought Crawfordsville against the county champs and Sectional favorites. The New Richmond Cards , who had lost but two season games, were determined to win their first sectional, but the Fighting Midgets said, No! and, led by their big freshman, outclassed the Cards in every way and turned them back by a score of 27 to 13.
