TRACK MEET The track meet this year was delayed for two days because of the rainy weather we'd been havingg but Monday, May 7, 1945, was a-swell, sunshiny day, and so the faculty decided to hold it. They were all out there helping to judge the events ,too. We'll give you the high lights of the boy's events first. Dave Weitzenhoffer Cjuniorl, who goes in for planes, really proved his flying ability by taking first place in the broad jump. ln the high jump Buseck tseniorl had some real competition from a lightfooted freshman, Wayne Wilkinsg but he came out first, leaving second place to his rival, Lewis Walter fsophomorel showed his landing ability in the pole vault pit after crossing the bar at a height of eight feet to a winning finish. His opponnent, Bill Weislogel, was somewhat taken by surpriseg but he lost to a good man. The junior boys came in first in the relay race, and Iohn Bausch, a fast sophomore, took the half-mile race. Our muscle man, Weislogel, also a sophomore, sent the iron ball to a distance of 4l feet 2 inches in the shot put, topping all other contestants. In the finals, however, when the points were totaled, the boy's track letter went to Keith johnson, a senior who really had stayed in there through all the events, and had got one fourth of a point more than last year's .track letterman, Bill Weislogel, The girl's part of the meet began with the fifty-yard dash which was taken over by Flossie Hinkle ffreshmanl, a directly smart kid who didn't wear shoes. 'llhey had a swell lineup of beautiful babesg but we'd better pass on. High jumping was the next event. All the classes started out well, and the sophomores ended that way with Phoebe Aulenbacher displaying her skill. After the sophomores and freshmen had both won, the seniors and juniors decided they'd better start pitching. ln the ball throw they did, Man, you'd never guess those girls had muscles like that. April l-linkle took the honorsg in thatg she could really heave it. But we're back to the sophomores again. Good for them and more power to 'em. The girls' hundred-yard dash started off with a bang and ended with Phoebe, natch. She's good! The broad jump came up next with Cooper landing on her stomach to help start things off. But it was finished with a tie between Arlene Wiggins tseniorl and Marilyn Miller fjuniorl. After that, all the girls felt like a nice hike, but in a hurry. So the quarter-mile dash was on Flossie took this one over, too. She really runs beau- tifully. The girl's relay was last, and it didn't get off to a very good start. In fact, it didn't end very well either. One of the girls didn't come in at all and another was rather lateg but the freshmen were still going strong and came up with the glory. As a whole, the meet was very close and a lot of fun for everyone. The girl's track letter was given to Phoebe Aulenbacher with 12 points. The class honors went to the seniors, who were closely pursued by the sophomores. Congratulations to the winners! -RUTH BARKER and HOWARD ROBISON. Page 39

TUMBO NIGHT More people took part in lumbo Night on March 23, 1945, than usually participate in public performances of Fairview High School, because it was designed to show what the physical education students can do in sports, calisthenics, and folk dancing. The spectators filled the bleachers, and when any group of students was not taking part, they sat on chairs on the stage so they could see the fun, too. Almost all of the students marched onto the floor of the gym dressed in their gym clothes for the calisthenics which began the program. lim Ritchie gave the com- mands for a strenuous few minutes. And no army drill sergeant could have done better. Then the football and basketball teams, in turn, gave fast and slow motion demonstrations of certain plays which, as Mr. Timmons said in his explanation, often happen so fast that the spectator can't follow them. For the next events, mats and the horse were brought to the center of the floor, and the boys lined up to demonstrate vaulting over the horse in various Ways, leap frog, tumbling, and a few pyramids. The broad-shouldered Chuck Taylor and his small brother Dick made a very good combination in this event, Mr. Lawrence beat the drum and clashed the cymbals for accompanying sound effects. And Bob Kuen- zig, in a clown costume, pillowy bosom and all, imitated several of these acts and added greatly to the fun of the occasion, especially for the grade school children. After this was over, the boys, plenty dirty after all their rolling on the rnats, cleared the floor for the girl's demonstration of rope skipping, first with individual ropes and then in groups with long single and double ropes for the Double Dutch and Hot Pep per. Marilyn Miller and Norma Wiggins were especially good in this. The last event for the boys was a soccer gamefa game which we don't see so very often in this country. Tlhe big soft ball landed in the bleachers several times and hit the referee, lim Ritchie, a hefty sock in the stomach on another occasion. After all, it's really an outdoor game. But kicking the ball and guarding the goals gave us a good picture of the pattern of this game. The folk dances with which the girls closed the evening gained immensely from the colorful costumes. The men wore blue jeans and plaid shirts, the girls attrac- tive cotton dresses. Audrey Kastner, ci man, even enlivened one set by bringing her tobacco pouch and offering that. It was all very lively and very informal as if they were enjoying a real dance. And the girls really obeyed the directions of the caller from the recordio even though they couldn't hear them too well sometimes. Mr. Timmons then gave basketball letters to the following boys: Don Buseck, Iim Ritchie, lim Robison, Chuck Taylor, Ore Weislogel, Wilbur Grubbs, Dick Walker, and Gerry MCCray. Miss Scroyer and Mr. Timmons both deserve credit for planning and training the students for such an entertaining physical 'education exhibit. And we hereby give a pat on the back to all the participiants, -WTHE CLASS. PLEASING PERSONALITY-Ida. GIRL WITH BEST TAN-Rosie. GIRL ON WHEELS-Tingley. THE OUIETEST GIRL-Liz.
