The Eagles began to hit the road for the 1947 track season as early as the March weather permitted. We started our season with a friendly triangle meet with two county teams, Howard and Clay, on the Hornets' home field. Next, We Went to Galveston for a practice meet and came home victorious, as before. Then came the Howard County annual meet for 1947. Our jump- ing and sprinting Eagles took third place, with Greentown and Union far out in front holding first and second positions, respectively.

BASEBALL Front row: Bill Young, Richard Mohler, Richard Ridenour, Bill Myers, Paul Cross, Gary Lybrook, Mr. Prible, Coach. Second row: John Allen, Gene Moore, Jack Arthur, Richard Fouts, Wayne Martin, Lyndal Wilson, Bob Bell. The Eagles were very successful in their 1947 baseball season as they were rated second in the Howard County Conference, with Greentown holding first place. We lost our first game to Greentown by one point and nearly made it as we pushed a four-run rally in the final inning of the game. The rest of the season we had smooth sailing, but we had to put on some hard last-minute drives to get the winning runs. After our first and only loss we presented the fans and coach with seven consecutive vic- tories.
