Ur ASSOCIATION 'Me Scoop The editors of the 1953-54 Scoop were Connie Spartz and Peter Wetrich. The Scoop is the weekly school newspaper published by the seniors as apart ofthe Globe- Free Press. The school paper con- tains news stories of various acti- vities, interviews, editorials, polls , humor, and news of the high school classes as well as grade school. The Scoop requires a great deal of work for all concerned, but it is considered a worth while activity by everyone. 74. em gm, The editors of the 1954 Blue Jay were Jeanette Rinker and Gary Mears. The Blue Jay is produced annually by the senior class. The Blue Jay is a pictorial andwritten publication of the activities and e- vents of the school year. The task of producing the Blue Jay is aheavy one for many individuals. Many of the photographs were taken by stu- dents. Those of the Blue Jay staff take great pride in editing the year book and feel that their time was well spent. Scoopmwl 26:4 faq Staff 4630267 MRS. PEARSON Advisor President ......

He ends up with two dates, Lugene Hoefle and Sharon Brady, but his good pal, Gary Henderson, comes to his res- cue just in time, BE HOME BY MIDNIGHT 'Be Home by Midnight' was the second play presented at the festival. The play centers around the hard- boiled father, Jim Hurd, and his emotional wife, Donna Fountain, who are planning to discipline their son, Myron Rinker, and daughter, Marlene Krieger, because they don't get home before midnight and get to bed early like their good little brother, Keith Ei1bert,--- as father thinks he is. fl Wd' f 1 i A M in mf lm, V I Z ' , 1 lf . jjf S? ,, Fraidy Ca A , A 1 ,Ji Q' L1 Mas.

The team's batting aver- age was .286 with Alvin Delp pacing the hitters with a .417 average. The team fielding average was .800 which was fairly good. Our toughest opponent was Rippey to whom we accredit all our defeats of the fall season. With the experience gained in the fall a more successful spring season is expected. 'UAV MR.

This remarkable record was produced by a group of scrappy players, who exhibit- ed the spirit and fight that makesa ball- club great. The girls won the Greene County Tour- nament for the second time in the history ofthe school-. They also won the Sectional Tournament and another trophy. The girls lost their first game in the District Tour- nament toa strong Ankeny team. By play- ing the best ballgame ofthe season, the girls came through in the consolation game to win a third place trophy. The team tied with Churdan in the County Conference. The girls gained many faithful fans during the season, who backed the team 100 per cent. The sportsmanship of the supporters was superb throughout the season. C Dolora Bradwell Team Manager Back row.

'Ah 41 gow ' 3 The Blue Jays, coached by Bill Sapp, V finished the season with 16 wins and 8 4 losses. The loss of last years seniors left the team rather weak, but by playing heads - up-ball the Blue Jays piled up an enviable record. After overcoming a slump during the season the team was plagued by several injuries. Despite this fact the Blue Jays swept through the first two games of the county tournament only to lose by seven points to Rippey in the closely contested finals. However, the Blue Jays avenged this defeat on the home court in a regular conference game later in the season. Inthe important sectional tournament the Blue Jays breezed by Lohrville, but met defeat at the hands of Jefferson. Although the team this season had its ups and downs, it is safe to say they made a commendable record for themselves, the school, and the community. By playing clean, hard-fought ballgames and displaying good sports- manship at all times, the Blue Jays were good losers as well as good winners. ,, 4 f f ini., Mike Swaney Tea m Manager Back row, L. to R.: B.

After many long hours of planning, toil and much fun too, we nowput our brain chi1d to bed. We realize that without the co-operation of far too many to name we could not have given you what we expect to be the best year book ever. So all we can say to all of you is a sincere Thank You.
