The E-Club, where We find the muscle-men of our school, includes many of those vvho protect the honor of old EHS. It's members triumph for us on the gridiron, the basketball court, and the cinder track- in fact, in every field of athletics. The E-Club, this year, has been one of the most active in the school's history. First came the initiation of the new foot- ball players. The E-Club members were ushers at the regional basketball tournament, the first in El Do- rado. The joint E-Club and varsity dance was a decided success and vvas the only semi-formal dance of the year. The an- nual E-Club banquet was a gala affair. The tables were decorated with minia- ture basketball, football, track and golf settings. The captains of each team spoke, and each girl was given a rose bud. The able officers this year were Bud Cole, orderly, Dick Shields, secretaryg Leon Copeland, vice-president, and Jim Mather, president. f'-wi Qias l 5 i 57594, -Q , if G .3 , fa Y T Q A my ? fr'+ ,, ?

K Gmc Glflflfelfw' In K6 A Red Peppers The Red Pepper Club leads the girls' cheering section of El Dorado High School. This organization represents pep, enthus- iasm, vitality, vigor, and above all true sportsmanship. It backs the team at all times. After several years the membership has grown to 148. The girls are elected by the popularity vote of the girls in their respec- tive classes. We now elect 30 new sopho- mores, 20 juniors and 20 seniors, each year. We always take a complete day and part of the night in initiating the new members. During the initiation the new members wore outlandish costumes and a good time was had by all. We added an honorary member to our club this year-our mascot, little Miss Joan Royer. She dressed the same as the rest of us and took our kitten to the center of the court before basketball games. Several times we ate at the New York restaurant, before games, and made our- selves at home by yelling and singing school songs. We made money for our spring ban- quet by sponsoring a box supper and dance. The lovely banquet was worth the effort which was put in on it. The one who deserves all the credit for having such a wonderful organization in old E. H. S. is Hazel Flaherty. She has always been a faithful and swell sponsor. The officers for the past year were: President, Marjorie Cooper, vice president, Nancy Schrepferg secretary, Doris Doane: treasurer, Nancy Berry, manager, Gertrude Stone.

The brawny bruisers, under the most able guidance of Willis Neal, finished fourth in the annual Ark Valley race. The El- Doradoans outgained their opponents in yard- age about two to one, The final game marked sadness in the hearts of many graduating sen- iors, but they will have many memories which they will hold throughout the rest of their lives. After a slow but deliberate start, the Wild- cats started the ball rolling by scoring their first win over Ark City, in a smashing victory 28 to 6. Before this time they played two games, first against Emporia, which ended with El Do- rado on the short end of a 7 to 6 score, the second was taken by the powerful North eleven by a score of 24 to 6. These losses turned the Wildcats from a green inexperienced team to a fighting eleven which enabled them to de- feat Ark City by such a large score. The fol- lowing week-end the Wildcats lost a heart- breaker to Wichita East's Blue Aces, 14 to 25. Defeated but not discouraged, after this loss, they visited the Eureka Tornadoes, and gave them a complete going over in a mud bath spe- cial, trouncing them 25 to 0. Against the pow- erful Newton Railroaders, they held their own in a snow-soaked battle to a 12 to 12 tie. The next two games were a busman's holiday for the veteran Wildcats when they scored wins over Augusta, 34 to 0, and Hutchinson, 35 to 0. These wins led up to the last game which turn- ed out to be far from a Sunday school picnic, they encountered the league leading Welling- ton Crusaders and fell short of their goal by a score of 19 to 39. , sm
