Homecoming The date of the annual Homecoming game and dance fell on the night of October 5, 1951. Before a crowd of 1500, the Rangers rose to victory with a score of 32 to 18 over the Kenton Wildcats to start the evening on its way to being a complete success. Chosen by her school mates, Carolyn Baum took the honor of Home- coming Queen with a fellow senior, Janice Musgrave, and a junior, Wanda Musgrave, as her attendants. The queen wore a black velvet dress with a white lace inset at the top trimmed with rhinestones. She wore black suede pumps. Her attendants wore gold corduroy dresses trimmed in black velvet. The queen and her attendants made their entrance on the football field, riding slowly in a red convertible, owned and driven by Claire McVitty. They rode to the center of the field. Then their escorts, Raymond Weber and Everett Woolley, accompanied them through the aisle formed by the Forest Band to the microphone where Beth Alguire, after a short speech, presented them with gold mums. After their appreciation was expressed, Carolyn, Janice, and Wanda took their places in a reserved section where they remained to view the football game. Following the game, the queen and her attendants returned to the gaily decorated gymnasium. There the crowning of the queen and Homecoming dance were to take place. Accompanied by their escorts, they entered the gymnasium, and through an archway formed by the students, they crossed the floor and ascended to the stage where Carolyn Baum was crowned Homecoming Queen of 1951-1952 by Everett Woolley. Welcomed to the dance, also, were those from Kenton who had attended the game. The three girls, the queen and her two attendants, want to express their appreciation and thank those who helped to make this night one of the hap- piest and most complete nights of their lives.

Football We were pleased at what we saw in the Prevue game played at Upper Sandusky. Our team played Richwood and won by a score of l4 to O: We opened our regular season by a win over the Elida Bulldogs in a league game. The Rangers scored early and were ahead at the half 24-O. Elida made 7 points in the final quarter which gave us the victory 31-7. In the next game with the Pandora Fleetwings, the Rangers scored in every quarter while holding their opponents outside their 35 yard line. The final score was 45-O. Still on the victory trail the following week, the Rangers subdued the Delphos Jeffer- son Wildcats 47-ZO with many substitutes seeing action. With Kenton furnishing the opposition for the Homecoming game, a large crowd was present to witness this contest which always furnishes plenty of thrills. However, our team made the occasion one of rejoicing by handing the Kenton Wildcats a 32 to I8 beating. This was our first non-league game. Lafayette fell next before the rapid moving Rangers. Although they tried hard and gave us a few bad moments, the final score was Rangers 40-Lafayette l4. Things were going too smoothly for the Rangers and on Dod's night trouble caught up with them. Columbus Grove, after trailing most of the way came back strong in the closing minutes to upset the Rangers i3-l2. Our boys tried desperately to pull the game out of the fire by a field goal in the last play of the game but were unsuccessful. This was our first league loss. Spencerville felt the wrath of the rebounding Rangers and were defeated l3-7. Our boys stepped outside the league for their annual game with Ada. The Rangers, remembering scores of the past, took Ada's measure by a score of 42-O. Since our standing in the league could not improve by winning, the game with Shaw- nee did not carry the thrills of the former games. This game found the Shawnee Indians scalping the Rangers to the tune of I9-l4. The league loss to Columbus Grove, who were tied only once and not defeated at all, pushed the Rangers into second. Even though seven Seniors are leaving the squad, the prospects for the coming year in the North-Western Conference League are good.
