S. footballers turned in a season re- cord of 4 wins, 2 losses and 1 tie. The losses were to Pierre, an A school, and to Ipswich, C. S. D. champs. The boys played to a 0-0 deadlock with Faulkton on Pirate Day. There were twenty lettermen for '49, of which nine are seniors. With eleven lettermen back,seven of which were on the '49 starting eleven, the pros- pects for 1950 look very promising. Lettermen for 1949 are as follows: Seniors : Don Matre, Tim Volz,Edward Kusser, Fred Wemmering, John Melbourn, Eldon Gunderson,Gene McWeeney,Duane Gray and Jim Goldsmith; Juniors: Terry O'Brien, Kenneth Wainwright,Iyle Walker, Wayne Houdek,Clair Bedsaul and Victor Odegaard; sophomores: Mickey Sherer, Malcolm Gray, Boyd Beastrom, and Marvin Trabing; freshmen: LeRoy Tislau. 28 Co-captain Don Co-captain Buzz” as £££ Oahe Conference Champions a The Highmore girls roared through all opposition and won fifteen straight games for an undefeated season. Twelve of the games were con- ference victories, giving Highmore the Oahe Conference championship. The girls had little trouble with any of their opponents, except in the game at ReeHeights where they squeezed by with acne-point victory Highmore's average score was 48.3 to the opponents' 28 3. All seven regulars are seniors, and their loss will be seriously felt this next year. However, the six freshman and sophomore reserves will form a nucleus for another good team in the future. Total Individual scoring records were as follows: Karen Swanson 244 or 16.4 per game Geraldine Palon 236 or 15.4 per game Florence Bezner 183 or 12.3 per game Stellar work on the part of the guards held opponents forwards to 9 points per game each Standing-Delores Townsend, Orva Sanderson, Verna Grable, Norma Goeken, Helen Sporrer, Evelyn Mason, Vera Nickelson, Kathryn Goldsberry.

Although the Pirates did not stack up too impressive a record, still it was a very successful season, especially so since the Pirates grabbed the District 15 tournament from their arch-rivals, Miller. The Rustlers have had a strangle hold on the district crown for several years, and this is the first year that the Pirates were able to come through with the district title since 1939. A-squad lettermen for the year are as follows: Seniors: Tim Volz, Ed Kusser, Don Matre, Fred Wemmering; juniors: Wayne Houdek, Terry O'Brien, Lyle Walker; sophomores: Mickey Sherer. Tim Volz was elected captain by the team's vote. There will be only four lettermen back next year, but they will be enough to form the nucleus of a fine team for next year. 33 Bottom row: Jimmy McDonald.Marvin Trabing, Boyd Charles Ford.

Urban a very fine music program has beenbuilt up in Highmorehigh school the past two years. The department has seen much re- organization. Enrollment in band increased from 18 to 50 during the 1948-’49 school years and this year there are 64 in Concert band. There are 30 enrolled in Boys’ glee club, 60 in Girls’ glee club, and 97 in chorus. The Concert band and the Girls', glee club won superior ratings at the contest last year. There were three solo sunerlors-Harriet Swan- son, soprano; Mavis Anderson, flute; and Mavis Anderson, mezzo-soprano. Small vocal groups performed at various communityaffairs during the school year, and the pep band added greatly to the pep at athletic events.

One mlgnt very well find a class taking off five or ten minutes at the beginning of a period in order to read their paper on the day it comes out. The public interest is in the school and the school activities.

Pirate Day, 1949, was one of the most successful held in Highmore for several years. Marshallfbr allhomecoming activities was Gene Davis,and Frederick (Jeff) Wemmerlng and Joanne Smith reigned as King and Queen. On October 13 the beautiful coronation took place in the high school gymnasium, and a rousing pep meeting was held around a bon fire on the school grounds. The Pirate Day parade on October 14 was built around a song theme; many beautiful and original floats were exhibited. The Pirates battled the Faulkton Trojans in afbotball game follow- ing the day's parade, and the score remained 0-0 to the finish. A dance in the highachool gymnasium climaxed the day's festivities. 50 Marshall, Gene Davis M K II ITC C Mf j ' PzFh UHEMjTHE CIRCUS CfW8 TD TOWN UHP-UW Merry Christmas at the Tschetters' After school Grade music Working on the annual Esther K Bathing beauty Midnight snack?
