U BOYS BASKETBALL The Basketball season opened with a game on November 12 with Fon- tanelle on the Cumberland floor, Fontanelle winning 56 to 54. Then following a two game winning streak, by the Cumberland Demons, bowling over Massena 41 to 26 and Lewis 45 to 57, Fontanelle dumped the local lads again, more than tripllng the score, 67 to 22. The 'Little Giants' from Wiota proved too much for the Cumberland boys, downing them in the next engagement on the Cumberland floor The game was close and excitement ran high but Wlota pulled away in the fading minutes to wln 54 to 47 Picking up steam, the Cumberland boys downed their next four oppo nents in a row Bridgewater 64 9, Lewis 55 26, Stennett 79 50, and Grant 59 15 Wlota again proved to be a thorn in our side beating Cumberland 52 42 We were badly handicapped in this game by the absence of Clair Coughlln and Lloyd Worthington On January 7, Griswold came to Cumberland and went home in dlsap polntment, losing by the score of 48 to 40 Cumberland again won the following Friday, dropping lassena in a close game, final score 50 45 Another tight game developed at Anita on January 14, Cumberland squeezing out a victory by the narrow margin of 52 to 48 Following this, Casey and Griswold dropped in succession bringing us to the county tournament The scores were 60 21, and 59 51 Cumberland drew Wlota on the first round and lt proved to be the most closely contested game of the entire tournament, the 'Irish Luck' prevailing, 26 to 25 Playing a fast game and trying to run up a big score we trampled urant, lOO to 21 At Wlnterset we roughed it and won a hard fast game to the tune of 45 to 34 Wales Lincoln proved too much for our boys and we lost 54 to 52 As a windup game we played the Atlantic second team, winning by one point, final score 28 to 27 Ann 1 .

BOYS BASEBALL The Baseball season of '47 started with several letter win ners and newcomers on the squad After a few short days of prac tice we tackled the experienced and seasoned Fontanelle team I was a rough battle but the Cumberland 'Demonsu emerged victorious final score 4 to 2 Because of a burst of overconfldence we were severely troun ed by the small Massena Club Score was 8 to 3 We then went in to a pretty good period winning from all cor ners beating Bridgewater 10 2 Lewis 7 l Griswold 7 l Lewis lJ l and Massena lo 2 This brought us to the Sectional Tournament at Wlota W hadn't played Wiota all season so this was our chance to finally show our stuff We played Adair the closest game of the season, eliminating them 5 4 Then following a wln from Exlra by a lucay score of 15 4 we played Elk Horn, the team that downed Wlota in this same tournament We were playing pretty good ball, as 1nd1 cated by the score 8 3 This win entitled us to the Sectional Trophy Our next game was ln the District Tournament but we were paired with Audubon and were beaten 14 O Thus ended a good season with eight victories against two losses After each successful basketball or baseball tournament a dinner was given the boys by Mr Saville at his home The boys always enjoyed Mrs Sav1lle's pecan rolls and baked ham At the dinner on May 25 ea h boy who participated in the winning of the sectional baseball tournament was presented with a baseball signed by his teamates to be kept as a remembrance X it 'Q L A ' .- f . t .

On November l, 1946, the choir did a second broadcast from Shenandoah, 'Amer1ca, I Hear You S1ng1ng.' Background music was played on the marlmba by Eleanor Hyndman as Lloyd Smith, narrator, wove into a story the moods and emotions which America expresses in music.

You'll be well ln no time now don't you worry a l 'Harold Pettlnger' I cried, 'What are you, an 1ntern?W Not at all, not at all It was one of my trucks that ran you down You see, he added, NI own the only furniture store in town ' As he finished speaking a nurse ame in and I recognized my former classmate, Lois Hynd man, looking quite capable in her white uniform Having so unexpectedly met two of my friends I improved so rapidly the doctor said I might be dismissed if I promised to take good care of myself Driving to Lloyd's apartment, he told me about several of my other classmates to keep my mind off my injury I learned that Eleanor Hyndman had made school teaching her occupation but 1s soon going to glve lt up for a permanent housekeeping job for some fellow Lloyd had forgotten the name Dorothy Steffen was giving voice lessons and trying to decide be tween Don Lewis and Lloyd Worthingtonv As yet she was still undecided Driving the long way home Lloyd pointed to a sign which said, 'Chin chllla Farm Welcome ' Still belng a wee bit hazy from my mishap I oouldn't catch on until Lloyd told me that Mavis Porter had become so en hobby and was now making quite a little money from donations given to her crlnchlllas This brought back humorous memories of the Senior Play and of an egg flying through the air so we spent the remainder of the drive reminiscing We arrived at the apartment house just at the edge of town A well kept lawn stretched from all sides of the neat Irish type dwelling A Lloyd led me up the steps and into the hall a woman came towards me smll lng and holding out her hand Mrs Lorraine Smith O'Rourke I wasn't very surprised about the O'Rourke part but I couldn't figure why she was running an apartment house She told me, 'At first, I was just taking care of my brother and his bachelor cronies and when Eddie decided to tread the matrimonial mile with me I just couldn't turn the poor dears out so here we are ' After spending a pleasant week at the apartment house and post ponlng my duties as station attendant at Cumberland so I could take a llttle vacation to recuperate I bade my friends good bye and started Having always wanted to see the Ozarks I journeyed into Missouri Hitch hiking along a zlg zaggy trail I rounded a sharp turn in the path and nearly tripped over an easel Picking myself up muttering a few choice bits I looked around and a few feet away, sitting on the bank dangling feet and fishing line ln the water and every now and then dipping a brush into the several paint cans nearby ln order to transfer the exact color of mud onto the canvas, was Elnora Johnston Happy and contented, Elnora was making a thousand dollars a week painting for a magazine I always knew Johnston would become a genius I bade Elnora so long for the sun was sinking arc made my way to the hotel house where I was to spend the night I was a little sad to think that 'our day' was past but very glad I had made my little sojourn to Iowa and especially joyous over the success of all my classmates Funny thing, everything was just what I had prophesied back ln l94?
