Cheering Deerfield fans followed the team through 25 wins and 4 losses. Winning second in the league, the fighting five went on to take to WAVI., League Tournament. Again meeting Kendall, first place winners in the league, we downed them in the district tournament, Z7-21. The scrappy Red-and-White basketeers walked off with the first place trophy at the regional tournament by beating Belpre, 40-38. Not since 1926 had the Deerfield Spartans gone to a state tournament. Coach Lockert took ten boys to Hutchinson: Jim Vulgamore, Merle Moreland, Gary Jones, Doug Jones, Tommy Grauberger, George Novotny, Virgil Hanneman, Ronald Molz, Floyd Griggs, and Wayne Miller. Meeting Fall River in the first game, the Spartans trounced them, 71-59, with George Novotny hitting Z9 points. In an overtime game the Deerfield club lost a heart breaker to Simpson in the semi-finals. Ronald Molz and George Novotny were named on the All-Tourney team. Through the season, the team averaged 54 points per game and their opponents 38. George Novotny was high scorer for the season in hitting 418 points. The 1953 basket- ball season was acclaimed a successful one. Sponsored by JONES MOTOR COMPANY, Deerfield 14 ' -P2-H .

Although, we thought we were pretty smart, the seniors soon taught us otherwise. Those who entered as freshmen were Mary Anderson, Carolyn Baier, Juanita Baughman, Ardis Boman, Estella Rigdon, Willa Claire Smith, Lloyd Krause, Virgil Hanneman Ronald Molz, Douglas Jones, Floyd Griggs, George Novotny, Billy Steelman, Dara Myers, and Jim Fulton, On the second Friday of our freshman year the seniors were very kind to us and initiated us. Of course, at that time we dreaded it but now we can look back and laugh, Our class officers for the freshman year were George Novotny, president, Ronald Molz, vice- presidentg and Ardis Boman, secretary-treasurer, Lloyd Krause, reporter, The sponsor of our class was John Harper. We lost Billy Steelman after two weeks of school and gained Susan Van Winkle later in the year. She came from Anderson, Missouri. By 1950 we struggled through our freshman studies and could now call ourselves sophomores. We lost Susan Van Winkle at the beginning of our sophomore year and later Mary Anderson who quit school to marry Haughey Skipton. The class officers for our soph- omore year were Ardis Boman, presidentg Willa Claire Smith, vice-president: Mary Anderson, secretary, 55161121 Rigdon, treasurer. Our sponsor for our sophomore year was Miss Norma Ryman, When we came back to school in 1951 we were promoted to juniors and by that time we thought we were pretty big. At the beginning of our junior year Estella Rigdon quit school to marry Willard McGinn. Willa Claire Smith moved to Cullison, Kansas, and Dara Myers moved to Beeler, Kansas. In October we also had a magazine sale and the junior box supper.' In November, 1951, Jim Fulton quit school because of illness, In April of our junior year we gave our junior play Midnight under the direction of Miss Norma Ryman. Just as soon as we got our play over we started working on the junior-senior banquet which took place in the halls of D. H.S. in May. We enjoyed Olll' junior year under the sponsorship of Miss Pearl Conway. Now the time has come when we can call ourselves seniors. We started our senior year by having the pleasure of initiating the freshman, Our officers for our senior year were Lloyd Krause, presidentg Juanita Baughman, vice-president, Ardis Boman, secretary- treasurer, and Carolyn Baier, reporter, Next on our schedule was, Running Wild , our senior play under the direction of Miss Norma Ryman. We took in more money at our senior play than any class had in the last eight or nine years, The seniors were invited guests at the alumni banquet held during Christmas vacation, In April, 1953, the seniors enjoyed being the guests at the junior-senior banquet given us by the juniors. George Novotny and Ronald Molz were chosen for all-star's in basketball at the state basketball tournament at Hutchinson, Kansas. Lloyd Krause took a piano solo to the district music festival at Dodge City, Kansas, in April and ArdiS Boman took 3 corner solo. The Sunday night before our graduation we had our baccalaureate service, and later in the week we had our class night program. On May the fourteenth nine seniors walked down the aisles of the Deerfield High School Audiroriurn for our last time to receive our diplomas. The sponsors for our senior year were Mr, Gray and Mr. Laudick.
