We learned quick- Iy, and were soon able, aTTer a Tew Trials and errors, To Tind The way around The build- ing. Following The example oT The classes above us, we organized in a business-Iilce manner. Our sponsor was Mrs. Kimmell and we elecTed as oTTicers Bob Ivey, presi- denT: Flarold Uhl, vice-presidenTg Jay Randol, secreTaryg and Leo Waller, Treasurer. In our Treshman year, 30 newcomers Trom SouTh MiITord, Wayne CenTer, and LuTheran School were added To our group. We chose Leo Waller To lead us Through The green. Jay Randol and Nancy Baughman served as The supporTing sTaTT and Miss Power was our sponsor. AT a class meeTing we chose red and silver as our class colors and The carnaTion as our Tlower. NexT year we moved To The big asembly and soon became a real parT oT The place. This year our class, now numbering 75, was under The guidance oT Miss Good- win and we choose as our oTTicers Jay Randol, presidenTg Fred I-Iaskins, vice-presidenTg and Richard Delp, secreTary-Treasurer. Around ChrisTmas Time, we received our class sweaTers. They were Icelly green wiTh whiTe K's on Them. For our class parTy we had a hay ride wiTh reTreshmenTs and dancing in The IiTTIe gym aTTerwards. ATTer eIecTing Don Deibele, presidenTq Nadine Young, vice-presidenTg Arlene Yeagley, secreTary7 and Nancy Baughman, Treasurer: we sTarTed our mosT exciTing year Thus Tar under The leadership oT our sponsor, Miss Fminger. In December we received our class rings which are The besT-looking rings in some Time. In order To raise more money To meeT The expenses which every Junior class musT Tace, we under- Toolc The sale oT ChrisTmas cards and magazine subscripTions. The climax oT our iunior year was The Junior-Senior banqueT, where we enTerTained The class oT I944. We had as our Theme The Lazy-K Ranch. And now we come To The lasT buT cerTainIy noT IeasT, The senior year. AT an exciTing poliTicaI convenTion held in The audiTorium, we again elecTed Don Deibele as senior class presidenT. The oTher oTTicers were Nancy Baughman, vice-presidenT: Arlene Yeagley, secreTaryg and Bud Delp, Treasurer. Miss STephens, our well-liked sponsor, deserves much crediT Tor her worlc in our behaIT. SomeTime IaTer we chose Fred I-Iaslqins as ediTor-in-chieT and I-larold Uhl as business-manager oT The annual. In The Tall some oT The class ordered new sweaTers. They were,oId-golcl wiTh red K's and red 45's. Our only class play, The I-Ioosier SchooImasTer, was presenTed To The public on February 27 and was a compIeTe success-also a IoT oT Tun. In The nighT oT April 25, our parenTs were our guesTs aT a desserT held in The IiTTIe gym. The gym was decoraTed as iT was aT our Junior-Senior banqueT oT The pasT year. We began To realize ThaT our school year was abouT ended when we ordered our an- nouncemenTs and name-cards. Yes, The long awaiTed Time has come, all Too soon.

Page Fifiywseven OUR CCACHING STAFF Pop Charlie SmiTTie THE VALUE OF ATHLETIC TRAINING Today many boys owe Their own exisTence To The Training which They received on high school and college aThleTic Tields. As a naTion we owe a greaT deal oT graTiTude To The boys who played, yeT became men: and To The coaches who made This possible. l-low does aThleTic Training help boys? There are numerous ways. One oT The greaTesT beneTiTs derived Trom aThleTic Training is Team- work. No good Team is wiThouT iT, and only Through Teamwork and co-operaTion can any organiza- Tion become successTul. From all The work needed To be able To play a sporT, a boy builds up his body and gains sTrengTh and endurance. In The earlier Times oT our counTry These were gained in a boy's sTruggle againsT naTure. Now sporTs are needed To Toughen and sTrengThen a boy. NoT only musT he have physical sTrengTh buT he muST have menTal sTrengTh-courage. IT The going geTs Tough, The boy musT be able To Take iT on The chin and keep TighTing. IT is This abiliTy To Take whaT The opposiTion has and Then puT Torward one's besT eT'lorTs +ha+ wins games and baTTles. Skill and abiliTy are also imporTanT TacTors in winning. Long pracTice and work develops a cerTain nim- bleness and skill in The conTrol oT The body. WiTh This a boy develops The abiliTy To make decisions quickly. IT is much easier and saTer To develop This abiIiTy on an aThleTic Tield Than on a baTTleTield. This knack oT improvising in diTTiculT siTuaTions enaloles our TighTing men To achieve resulTs which are impossible for less adapTable men. IT is The aim oT aThleTics and iTs coaches To develop This Type oT men.
