Wade Sprague Virginia Edvu-dn Clyde Foster SENIOR CLASS HISTORY It was a Wee Tim'rpis class of seven freshmen that made their entrance in D, T, H, S, in the fall of Nineteen Hundred and Forty Three. The green freshies were: Bobby Grant, Clyde Foster, Joanne Trenchard, Virginia Edwards, Elmer Wilson, Dolores F itzwater, and Wanda Lou Sprague. Our class advisors were Miss Banker, the first semester, and Mrs. Scott, the last semester. After the upper classmen were satisfied as to initiation we settled down to our duties as high school students. The president elected was Joanne Trenchard, The freshmen enjoyed a weiner roast the first of the year, and a sleigh ride during thewintter. As the days sped by our knowledge increased and thus pas sed our freshman year. As Sophomores we found the same members, along with Agnes Francisco and Wendell Clifton, who decided to ioin our class. The president this year was Wendell Clifton and our advisor again was Mrs. Scott, We enjoyed a bunco and Valentine party during our Sophomore year. Several of the class were members of band and all the boys were participating in athletics. When the class of '47 returned for its Junior work, one of its old members was not to be seen around. Joanne Trenchard had decided to attend an Eastern school. Sally Harris of Champaign and Beverly Smith joined our ranks. During the middle of the year, Farmer City sent us Maxine Green. Mrs. Gantz was our class advisor and Clyde Foster was elected president. The class gave a play The Crazy Mix-Up, The middle of the year we received our class rings. The crowning event of the Junior year, was the Junior- Senior banquet which carried out the theme of the gay nineties. A dignified UI class of nine Seniors returned in the fall of 1946 with the expectat- ion of graduating. The class is small but just as important and prominent as any class of D. T, H, S. seniors. Beverly Smith is president with Wendell Clifton as Vice-president and Maxine Green as Secretary and Treasurer. Junior Wilson came back to D, T, H, S. after going the first semester at Farmer City. Wanda Sprague and Dolores Fitzwater represent the Senior class in band and orchestra, The class play, Junior-Senior Banquet, Senior Class History QCont'lnuedJ Commencement, and Baccalaureate services are events of the Spring. When all of these events are over, our history as a class will have ended, and each of us will be starting our histories as individuals. We have looked backward in writing this history-now let's look forward to a future full of successful individuals from our class. W anda Spr ague SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the class of '47, knowing our days in D. T. H. S. are few, being of sound mind and memory do make the last will and testament in the following manner and form. To the present faculty, we bequeath our heartfelt sympathy in their loss of such an enjoyable and intellectual class. To the junior Class of the DeLand Township High School the right to become un- selfish and dignified Seniors during the year 1947-4-8.

Senior Class Will lContinnedl In witness whereof, we have hereunto set our hands and seals this Ninth day of May, inthe year of our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred Forty Seven. Signed, Class of 1947 D. R. F, Dolores Fitzwater SENIOR PROPHECY EXTRA! EXTRA! Read all lbdltt it Ray Milland coming to fiancee's home town--DeLand. Ray Milland, famous movie actor, will arrive on the Santa Fe Strearnliner at two o'clock tomor- row afternoon. His purpose for coming is to act as master ofcer- monies for the reunion of thenclass of '4-7. It has been ten long years since these 10 people gradnkledl from DeLand High School and Sunday will be a wonderful day for them. Mr. Milland arose from the table, where the group had enjoyed a picnic. Eager faces watched him as he started talking of their class and chlled on Wanda Lou Sprague to tell of her experiences in the past ten years. She was a lovely, petite woman whose every move was watched by rest of the group. It seerned that Wanda had gone to Hollywood and became a famous movie actress. She had been married three times, each one being an nnfor- tunate mistake. She had met Ray and thought this was the real thing. Wanda said she and Ray were planning on being married before they returned to Holly- wood. She told us her screen name was Margo Sanders andothat her next movie was to be a musical. Mr. Milland then presented Wendell Clifton, who had with him his wife, the tormer joan Taylor, and their two little girls. Wendell said after they had been married for a year they sent out west to visit some friends. They liked the western atmosphere so they bought a small ranch on which they later struck oil. After striking it rich they traveled to Paris, London, Berlin and many other places. Wendell said there were many other places they wanted to go, but they expect to settle down to one place after they are through traveling. Senior Prophecy fContinuedl Next Ray called on Bobby Grant and Dolores Fitzwater, now Mrs. Grant, and they came forward with their twins, a girl and a boy. They had been mar- ried shortly after they graduated from DTHS. They both continued to go to col- lege after they were married and Dolores walked away with highest honors. While Dolores was taking all the honors in studies, Bobby was taking them in track. Bobby trained for the Olympics on the tracks at Lodge, running his heart out with Dolores on the sidelines cheering him on, and won the Olyrnpics. But Bobby had some bad luck, in one hurdle he fell and broke his ankle, and that ended his track career. He and Dolores are now living on a farm East of DeLand and Bobby is encouraging his young son to a future life in track. Ray asked Maxine Green to come forward with her husband. Maxine said, about two years after she graduated she became an airline stewardess and flew to many different countries and later met her husband, a dare-devil test pilot. There was a sad look on Maxine's face as she told us that her husband was killed while testing a new plane, shortly after they were married. About three years later she returned to DeLand and became engaged to one of her old flames. Maxine said they were planning on being married in the summer, but the exact date had not been set as yet. Mr. Milland called on Sally Harris next. She semed like the same old Sally, but as she told of her experiences you could tell she had changed. Sally had always liked to sing so she had decided to make a career of it. She went to a voice school for a year and then started singing with some small orchestra's. She became a famous singer and sang with many different orchestra's, includ- ing Eddy Howard's. He signed her for a life long contract--in more ways than one-they were married shortly after Sally started singing with his orchestra, They have a little girl now, but Sally plans on returning to her career as soon as the baby is a little older. Ray next presented Clyde Foster to the class reunion. Clyde had become a big husky man and was still very good looking. His actions indicated that he didn't like to talk about himself. Clyde said he majored in athletics the four years he went to college. He became a very good coach, and was hired at DeLand fClyde didn't tell us but he didl. He took the team to the State Tournament three years straight and won first place two years, making history for DeLand. Clyde had an offer to take the team to Madison Square Garden but refused. He said it might give them an inflated opinion of themselves. Clyde gave the impression of liking to coach very much. Ray then asked Virginia Edwards to come forward, Virginia said after she had graduated she decided to take up secretarial work. It seemed that the became pretty good at her job and was promoted. It finally took her to Philadelphia where she is the head of a big executive office now. She said she was on her va- cation now and was planning on taking an ocean voyage. Virginia at this time is unmarried, but time will tell about that. Next Mr. Milland called on Elmer Wilson. Babe , as everyone called him, was still the happy-go-lucky fellow he always was. l-le used to be a swell jitter-bug when he was going to school and still is, as you could tell by his story. Babe said he had a dancing school now that was almost as famous as Arthur Murrays. He said he had a chorus line and brought in some singers to put on a Senior Class Prophecy fContinuedl show for the public every Wednesday night. Every Saturday night he offered a free dance for all of his pupils, with some big name orchestra to furnish the music. Babe said he liked to teach dancing and would be glad to give any of us a free lesson. Mr. Milland called on Beverly Smith, the last class member. Beverly said she always had wanted to be a writer but didn't think she was any good. She wrote a few short stories and they sold well. Then she started writing plays which soon took her to New York. She became quite a famous playwright and naturally met many play producers. One day she met a famous play producer and later became his wife. They now have two children, a girl and a boy, and are living in the suberbs of New York. Beverly said she would continue to write plays as long as her husband would produce them. So, with these bird's eye views, we have forecast what could happen--- but who knows just what will happen? ? ? ? ? Beverly Smith CLASS POEM Neil Madden is Sally s favorite beau, Everywhere he goes, Sally, must go. Virginia Edwards will soon be a wife, She'll live on the farm, the rest of her life. Wendell Clifton is tall and light, For Joanne Taylor, he'd probably fight. Elmer Wilson is now a grown man, He works on the farm as a hired hand. Beverly Smith with the jet black curls, Belongs in here with the Senior girls. Maxine Green who is light and fair, Thinks that to Bill, they just can't co are. 'UP Dolores and Bobby are frequent together, It makes no difference about the weather. Wanda Sprague some day will wed , Whether or not it to be Ed fMoorel. Clyde Foster is just another guy, He does the wrong thing and then wonders why.

On October Z5, 1946, the juniors presented to the public the class play Spooks and Spaans. The play was a great success and many people aided in its pro- duction, Miss Cathcart directed the play, and we had a lbt of fun getting ready for it. The Castg Minerva Hawkwood--Joanne Furtney, Mabel Hawkwood--Dorothy Page, Carol Calloway--Loveta jasper, Eunice Tuthill--Doris Lane, Sidney Calloway--Linden Robinson, Iowa Calloway--Kathleen Meyer, Dickey Bird--Karl Borton, Rex Rosner--Edwin Norfleet, Clemuel McClathchen--Marlon White, Gertie Swanson--Patsy Maden, The Ghost--Lenville Keeney.

A concert was given before the play by Mr. Merry and the High School Orchestra, At the end of the first act the Boys' Chorus made their first appearance under the direction of Miss Cathcart, The boys, in black face, did several southern nurnbers. At the end of the second act, little Joyce Madden did several tap dances, Also, at this time, Doris Lane, acting in behalf of the Junior Class, presented Miss Cathcart with a set of bookends and the record albmn of Treasure Island in appreciation of her work in presenting the play. Later Miss Cathcart played Treasure Island for her English classes and everyone enjoyed itimmensely. In cider to have a good junior-Senior Banquet, which we are all looking forward to, the Junior girls have taken up the business of selling soft drinks, hot dogs, and candy. At each home game we have a stand. The girls take turns working at this. We have made about S110 with this project thus far. The junior girls also have a good' basketball team. One night before one of the boy's games, we played a team of girls made up of the other three classes and won by a score of 9-2. Everyone had a good time and the girls wished they could have played more often. Clyde Foster accomodated us by refereeing the game for us. Quite some time ago a happy day arrived for the juniors. We received our class rings!!! The rings are not all alike, Some are plain gold facing and the rest are set with colored stone backings. When the rings arrived we found they had, by mis- take, sent Olan Floyd a 6 lf2 instead of 9 lf2. Poor Fronie . All of the junior boys play basketball. Edwin Norfleet is the high scorer and Linden Robinson topped the free throw shooters with a mark of .561 to place his name on the free throw trophy, Edwin had a total of 4-62 points for 27 games to lead the DeLand Warriors in the scoring column during the past season. Olan Floyd plays guard on the first team and the boys could hardly get along without him. Karl Borton also played quite a bit with the first team, and Marlon White and Lenville Keeney were members of the reserve team. junior Class fContinuedQ On March 14th the junior Class gave an all-school party, The evening was spent in playing games and dancing. Refreshments of sandwiches and chocolate milk were served. About 40 people attended the party. Some of the juniors accompanied Miss Cathcart to Bloomington this spring where they attended the play Julius Caesar pre- I sented by Illinois Weslyan University. They reported that it was very interesting and en- joyed by all who attended.

Miss Baer was chosen as our class advisor. In September we planned a hay ride, and guests were invited. The group went to Lodge Park for a weiner roast and then to Monticello. A very enjoyable evening was spent by all who attended. We sponsored an all-school party in October and used the- Halloween theme. The stage was decorated as a grave yard with the names of the teachers on the tombstones. The evening was spent dancing and playing games. Sandwiches, apple cider and pop-corn were served as refreshments. We were invited by the Freshmen to a pot luck dinner at the school one night. The food was very good. After we had eaten, wefwent skating at the Elmwood rink in Urbana. Miss Cathcart was unfortunate and had a big spill. We're proud of our Sophomore class this year. Most of the boys are on the bas- ketball and baseball teams and members of the Boys' Glee Club. The girls are always glad to help serve for the dinners and banquets, and also enjoy being members of the Girl's Glee Club. Most of us make pretty good grades too, We'll never forget our Sophomore year at D.T.H.S, FRESHMAN CLASS Picture First Row --- Carol Maden, Catherine Burton, Mary Fahrnkopf, Peggy Madden.

Freshman Class CContinuedJ The Freshmen got off to a fine start this year with their first class meeting. We organised and elected class officers. When the ballots were cast and counted, we had for President, Milford Burton: Vice-President, Peggy Loy Maden, and Secretary- Treasurer, Peggy jane Corder. The school organized a student council this year and each class elected two per- sons to represent them. Our representatives were Mary Lou Webb and Donald Stites. For our first party we decided to go skating. Before we left we had a pot luck supper with cokes to drink. Three cars took us to Champaign. A few of the Sophomores went along with us. It was a success, for everyone had a lot of fun. We had nineteenin our class when school started. We have lost six so far this yar. They are Imogene Keller, Milford Burton, Earl Francisco, Keith Floyd, Genelle Rule, and Jerry Harris. Our class was well represented in the County Music Festival at Monticello as most of the class was either in the band or chorus. We attended the music classes they held, and I'm sure we all learned something new to help us. We're also proud of the fact that practically all of our class are represented in some musical or athletic activity. Most of us are signed up for the subjects which we are to take next year and we hope that they are very interesting, and not too difficult. Mary Fahrenkopf Mn gf T Sept.

This is the first annual that has been published at D.T,H,S, for several years and it has been quite a task getting it ready for the printer as all of us are very green re- garding the procedure in putting out an annual. Some of the staff worked very hard and faithfully and some were a little more reluctant to put forth time and effort, but we hope that we will have a book that will bring back some pleasant memories in years to come for those who attended D.T,H,S. this year. The staff for this year's book was composed of the following persons: Co-Editors- Wanda Sprague, Elmer Wilson: Business Manager--Wendell Clifton: Assistant Business Manager--Baaverly Smith: Senior Editor--Dolores Fitzwater: Junior Editor--Joanne Furtney: Sophomore Editor--Marilyn Cozad: Freshman'Editor--Mary Fahrnkopf: Sports Editor--Clyde Foster: Music Editor--Kathleen Meyer: Activities--Peggy Corder, Joan Taylor, and Karl Borton: Humor--Bob Grant, Wendell Foster and Edwin Norfleet: Calendar--Maxine Green and Evelyn Wine: Girls' P, E,--Mary E, Sprague: Who's Who-- Virginia and jean Edwards: Snap Shots--Sally Harrip and Loveta jasper: Boy's Chorus-- Buddy Kallemhach: Faculty Advisors--Miss Cathcart and Mr. Clapper.

The student council is another organization which came into being this year at D,T.H.S. The idea-:was conceived by Mr. Broadhead and the organization was also formed by him. The purpose of the organization was to promote a more democratic procedure in the handling of all school activities, with proper faculty supervision and guidance.

Prior to this year the only public outlet for school news has been through the local weekly paper, whose editor has been very considerate in publishing our news for many years now. However, this year it was decided to publish a paper here at school in addit- ion to the news which appeared in the town paper. The reason for this was to give the students experience in putting out a paper, step by step, and also to make sure that every- The Tepee Tattler QCon1:i.nuedl- one interested in the school would know what activities are taking place at D.T,H.S, The paper is published monthly and each edition published thus far has been received with much enthusiasm. -The names and duties of the staff members are as follows: Co-Editors--Doris Lane and Wendell Cliftong Art--Charles Thompsong ,Humor--Buddy Kallembach, and Wendell Foster: Sports--Clyde Foster and Jean Edwardsg Gossip--Shirley Trigg, Mary Ellen Sprague and Bill Goldeng Music--Kathleen Meyer 3 Editorial--Loveta Jasper: Feature--Joanne Furtneyg Freshmen--Peggy Corderg Sophomores--Evelyn Wine 3 Juniors joan Lubbers: Seniors--Wanda Sprague 3 Adilsor--Miss Cathcart. 5 E 5 4 I if s , E W A B Qgllres I E S W I.: lt Good?

We invited the Sophomores as guests. Everyone came to the High School and fir st had a pot-luck supper, with everyone con- tributing to the menu. We then went to Champaign to the Elmwood Roller Rink and spent a most enjoyable evening. Sophomore--When school was well on its way, the Sophomores planned a hay ride . Most of the class was able to go and they met at the high school. However, when they had all assembled, it seemed the committee had been-unable to secure a rack. Very hastily it was decided that the evening should be spent at the show at Monticello. Transportation was furnished by Lynn Cozad, Dale Lilly, and Miss Baer. On November 1, the Sophomores entertained the school and faculty at an all-school party. The season was Halloween and the stage was decorated to resemble a cemetery. The program took place inthe gym and the affair was started by a variety of games. Re- freshments were then served and the evening's entertainment was completed with dancing. Juniors--On Friday night, March 14, the Junior Class entertained the student body and faculty at an all-school party. The party began early and the first event was a series of games. The guests were divided into teams and prizes were awarded to the winning teams. Refreshments and dancing were then enjoyed by all who attended. Seniors--Early in the fall the Senior Class decided to have a hay ride. Then some- one wanted a weiner roast, so a party was decided upon. It was to be a weiner roast and then a hay ride. The tractor and rack were secured so off we went. The Seniors and their guests met at the Kentuck Community House and there enjoyed a weiner roast. With hot dogs, potato chips, and all the trimmings taken care of, everyone loaded onto the rack and enjoyed a very pleasant ride through the rural coxnmlmities. Initiation--On a. Friday night, about a week after school started, the Freshmen were entertained, or should we say entertained the rest of the students at the initiation party conducted by the Seniors. During the first three weeks of school there was sure a colorful parade of green ribbons and ties going around. Most of them .felt fine before the party but afterwards some of the boys were saying Nice walk, wasn't it? Many noted persons were present such as Frank Sinatra KKeith Floydj, Mother and Baby fPeggy Maden and Marion Rudisilll. That was certainly a nice job of drinking from the bottle, Marion. Loren surely looked nice in short pants. Dickie was also an ideal little boy in his sun suit with sand bucket and shovel. As final punishment all of the Freshmen's shoes were thrown in a pile and each person had quite a task in finding his own shoes. Following the initiation dainty refreshrnents were served and the F1-eehmen end other students, along with the faculty, were one happy group. Rare Bits Style Show--The girls of the Home Economics II Class had a good time preparing, planning, and giving their style show, and they did a fine job. They appeared in many attractive outfits. The girls who modeled were all Sophomores except Joanne Furtney, a junior. Activities fContinuedl The ensembles which the girls modeled were for eight different occasions. -They were to be worn at church, school, play occasions, basketball games, travel, formals, and night clubs. The girls of the Home Economics III class entertained the mothers of the student body at a Christmas tea a few days before the Christrnas vacation. The entertainment was furnished by a group selected from the D.T.H.S. Glee Club. Eports Banguet--The basketball squad, Coach Clapper, and the cheer leaders were guests of the community at a banquet sponsored by the people of the community. Harry Combes, coach of the Champaign High School Maroons, was guest speaker and gave a very interesting speech. Coach Clapper, Mr. Broadhead, and Captain Clyde Foster also gave speeches. All of the speakers were introduced by Mr. P. E. Fonner, toastrnaster. Letters were awarded to several boys for baseball and basketball. The cheerleaders, and Manager Wendell Clifton also received their awards at this time. After the speaking, the gym was cleared and dancing topped off the evening. Music was furnished by the Stewart Orchestra from Decatur. Board-Faculty Dinner--In the early spring the girls of the Home Economics de- partment served a very delicious dinner to the Bggrd members, faculty, and members of their families. After the dinner an evening of informal entertainment was enjoyed by all.

The band and orchestra started the 194-6-4-7 school year with a membership of 28: eight in orchestra and 20 in band. The boys' chorus was made up of seven boys, and the girls' chorus had 23 members. The first appearance of the orchestra was at the Junior Play. Several selections were played before the play. The boys' chorus also made its first appearance at the Junior Play. The boys sang Negro spirituals and were made up as Negroes. Not long after -that, the basketball season began, and band rehearsals were spent in practicing formations in the gymnasium. The band played at all home games but one, when the illness of several members made it impossible. Incidentally, most of the for- mations were the ideas of the band members. If someone had an idea, he or she took it to Mr. Merry and, with his help, a formation was figured out on paper. Then it was tried out in rehearsal and if it was a good one it was added to the other formations, and finally used at a game . . A big event of the year was the Piatt County Music Festival, held at Monticello on February 20, It was for bands and choruses. Each director was permitted to take a cer- tain number from the band and chorus. Mr. Merry took ll from the DeLand band and Miss Cathcart took 16 from boys' and girls' choruses. Rehearsals and clinics went on all day and that night the combined choruses and bands of the county presented a concert in the Monticello gym. Everyone had a good time and learned a lot from the clinic experts. Plans are being made to have another festival next year. I think the festivals are a very good thing, and it would be a wonderful idea if the festivals were made an annual event in Music fContinuedl Platt county. It does a school good to hear and see what other schools are doing. Let's hope we have more festivals. The all-school concert was another big evev this year. This is the first year in a long time that DeLand has had a boys' and girls' chorus on the program as well as or- chestra and band. All the music departrnents worked hard getting ready for the concert and they were rewarded by an appreciative audience. The audience was surprised but well-pleased with the boys' and girls' choruses, whose numbers ranged from The Lord's Prayer to a Negro Spiritual I Got Shoes . Since this is the first year DeLand has had a boys' chorus as well as a girls' chorus, the people just didn't know what good voices some of our chonus members really have. Baccalaureate will be held May 25 at the Christian Church. The orchestra will play the processional and recessional, and the mixed chorus will also be a part of the program. For Commencement on May 28 the band will play and the boys' chorus sing a couple of numbers. The last musical activity of the school year will be presented by the band on Memorial Day. It is an annual custom for the band to march to and from the cemetery and be'a part of the program there. Kathleen Meyer Bors' CHORUS This year, for the first time inmany years, D.T.H.S, once again has a Boy's Chorus, of which it is very proud. When the group was first assembled, the director, Miss Cathcart, thought the fellows would never accomplish two-part music, and at first we didn't: but now we do it pretty well after repeated efforts. The chorus made its debut at the junior Play, October 28, at which time the boys appeared as a group of Southern darkies and sang a selection of Negro Spirituals. Some of the boys had been a bit skeptical at singing but, after this appearance, when it was seen how much the public enjoyed it, another group of boys wanted to join. Then Babe Wilson ca.rne back to us from Farmer City and he too joined. Our next appearance was in the mixed chorus made up of all the schools in the county at the big Music Festival at Monticello on February 20. The Sunday following the Music Festival, February 23, the mixed chorus of sel- ected voices made an appearance at the Methodist Church, singing a religious selection which was received very favorably by the congregation. All of the members sincerely hope that Miss Cathcart received some enjoyment out of working with us, as all of the members enjoyed working under her direction. We also hope that public interest will help us in forming another chorus next year and that it will be equally as successful. We also wish to thank Kathleen Meyer for devoting so much of her time to accom- panying us at each practice and at each appearance. Buddy Kallembach 'G !

Although the locals got 10 hits, they could not hit at the right time and it took an extra inning to I Baseball fContinued, decide the outcome. Bob Grant and Clyde Foster connected for two hits each, while Wendell Foster pitched a nifty one-hitter and fanned 12 men. This game ended the fall campaign with a record of seven wins and one loss. - One game has been played at this time in the spring season and in that game DeLand defeated Bellflower on the local diamond 6-2. Clyde and Wendell Foster divided the hurling duties and didn't allow a hit until the seventh inning when the visitors collect- ed two hits for their two run.

Ed Norfleet picked up 18 and Grant 13 for DeLand. Basketball fContinuedJ DELAND AT FISHER--DeLand journeyed to Fisher and was given their fifth beating of the season, The game was much closer than the score indicates and had the Warriors gotten a couple more points in the last few minutes they could easily have won. However, Fisher started stalling with a one-point lead, pulling DeLand out of their zone defense. Against out man-for-man Fisher racked up 15 points while holding us to 1 in the last four minutes. The final score was 55-41. DELAND AT FARMER CITY--In a S,V,C, game at Moore High DeLand dealt Farmer City a 40-31 loss. It was the 16th win for DeLand against 5 losses. W. Foster and Nllrfleet each caged ll points while Grant tossed in 9. SEYMOUR AT DELAND--DeLand showed more than enough scoring punch when they blasted Seyrnour on the home floor 83-ZZ. DeLand's scoring was supplied mostly by Grant and Norfleet who tallied 19 each. KENNEY AT pn.....XND--DeLand tallied the same number of points they had scored in the Seymour game to dispose of Kenney 83-32. Norfleet and Grant each had Z1 and Clyde Foster fourteen. DISTRICT TOURNAMENT--DeLand walked off with the Wapella District for the third con- secutive year, tipping Heyworth in the final 43-41. The Warriors opened their bid by smacking Waynesville the first night 51-34. Wapella offered the next opposition but the determined DeLanders handed them a sound 63-4-5 whipping. The final game was not quite so easy, as it took a spectacular finish to do the trick. DeLand never held a lead in the ball game until the overtime period. With Heyworth ahead 40-Z9 with 3 112 minutes to play the Warriors drove hard and tied the count at 40 all to force the game into the over- time. Norfleet started the spurt with a pivot shot. Floyd followed with a long one-hander from the side and Norfleet added a basket and free throw to bring the score to 40-36 with less than a minute to play. Clyde Foster then scored two quick baskets with his one-hand specialty shot from the free throw circle, swishing the net with his second one with less than ten seconds to play. In the overtime Clyde made a charity toss and Bob Grant scored on a lay-up shot to give the Warriors their margin of victory. REGIONAL TOURNAMENT--DeLand, flu-ridden and weak, were eliminated in the first round of the regional by Leroy. The score was 4-5-33. The defeat was very understandable as practically all of the squad had been laid upwith the flu just preceding the tournament. Not one of them was in first-class physical condition. However, nothing can be taken away from Leroy as they presented one of the most evenly balanced teams that we met all year, and had a couple of real sharpshooters in Golden and Whitehouse. RESERVE TEAM The reserve team also accumulated an enviable record when they won twelve games during the season while losing only five. Leading scorer of the team was Bobby Kallembach with 152 points. Other mainstays on the team were Linden Robinson, Bill Golden, Lenville Keeney, Charles Thompson, Dick Loney, and Marlon White. All of the reserve squad were underclassmen and they will be counted on to carry on for the first team in succeeding years, FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE TEAM The Freshman-Sophomore team competed in one tournament ,and carried off second place honors. They defeated Mahomet in the first game 37-35 on a last-minute basket by Bill Golden, but they lost out in the finals to Farmer City in an overtime. Wendell Foster tied the game up at Z0 all in the final seconds of the game but the Moore Township boys outscored us 3-2 in the overtime. Clyde Foster coached the boys during the tournament.

Mrs. Gantz started us at the first of the year doing exercises. The weather was nice so we did them out-of-doors. We first tried touching our toes with our fingers without bending our knees--my!!! but the bones did creak at first, but after a few of these exercises we loosened up considerable. We then were taught to do sit-ups, but it didn't take many of these to bewilder the entire class. KNow we understand why the army boys complained about their calisthenticsl We also did many other exercises to keep us limbered up. - After a few weeks of calisthentics we went on several hikes. We would go west of the school about a mile and sometimes south. Some of the girls would have liked very much to thumb a ride but thought it best to walk. When going west of the school some of the girls would always go under the bridge and walk across the creek on stones--more fun--but a barbed wire fence caught a few of us and surely scratched us up. Next we played baseball and had a swell time,,but it wasn't long un- til some of the girls thought they were getting a little over-weight so -Mrs. Gantz started a reducing class. We did all kinds of exercises while those not reducing continued playing baseball. It was fun, anyway. In the reducing class we had several running relays, runn- ing up and down the road in front of the school. The winter months were filled with basketball games, This is what we girls had been waiting for all year. We chose three teams and started playing. The Freshmen had to learn but they soon caught on. We played girls rules. Mrs. Gantz was our referee and Carol Maden and Virginia Edwards were the scorers. We got along fine with our basketball, but at the last our sportsmanship got pretty bad. It was necessary for Mrs. Gantz to give us a few lectures on this, and after'that we did much better. The juniors thought they had a pretty good team and challenged the rest of the school to a game This game was played one night as a curtain-raiser for the DeLand Seymour game. The juniors beat us 9-2 but there were no hard feelings. In fact some of the girls even bought the Juniors cokes after the game. Our basketball season is about over now and the girls have tumbl- ing on their minds, as it will be our next activity. Mary Ellen Sprague Llthoqnphod I Bound by WALSWORTH IIOTHZRS Wuoollne, lo., U.
