. The Redskin 53, NDER the direction of the New Chief, Coach Hubner, the Knox 1 War- gl riors made a fairly good record this season, in lieu of the fact that only three veteran braves remained from last year's squad. The schedule took 'V this season's warriors into some additional new camps of great strength, such as Mentone, a contender at the State, and LaPorte, a strong .foe of. the North. North'Judson, sectional winner, and Winamac of the Pulaski Region again proved to be a few points 'too strong for the local Redskins. However, the invasion of most of the Starke Camps added scalps to the Redskins. Walkertonians'of the St. Joe tribe were ambushed and over powered twice during the winter, the Redskins being only one of three teams'to be successful in performing this feat. The Redskins are losing five of their Senior braves by graduation this'year, but will have seven warriors who are fairly well drilled in shooting and Fighting tactics to add great strength to the ranks. Among those that are 'graduating are Chief Rain- in-the-face Beauchamp, Warrior Kaiser, Lazar, Wil- helm, and Badell. The returning experienced war- riors are Smith, Zechiel, F. Gurrado, Daly, Sellers, Shinneman, andf'Basney. The Papooses under the leadership of Chief Lewis did well by invading the enemies territory frequent- ly winning fifty per cent of their battles. 'Members of the petit warriors were Papoose Hall, Nichols, Biggs, Walters, A. Gurrado, Lainhart, Phillips, Downs, and Schulmeister. Much credit is due Chief Hubner and his staff, and with a group of warriors trained in his system of warfare we'expect next year's season to record more scalps. The schedule for 1935-36 will find the Redskins invading two State Contender Camps, Michigan City and Mentone. Also Washington, Ply- mou'th, Bourbon, Bremen Argos, and Star City are new regions to invade next season. The Redskins war cry for 35-36 is Win a Sec- tional. Base Ball The Knox Baseball team with its coach, Mr. Hubner, played four games last fall, In the two contests with North Judson, one game ended in a tie and the other in a vic- tory for the visitors. Hamlet also defeated the Redskins once and tied them once. Winning five games and losing one to North Judson, the Knox High School Girls' Baseball team under the direction of Mrs. Abner was very successful. The victories in- clude two from Grovertown, one from Center, one from Winamac, and two from North Judson. Those on the team were Elizabeth Cromey, Mary George, Mary Lantero, Marjorie Hanson. Harriet Johnson, Irene Miller, Francis Mlekodaj, Julia Helen Henry, Sarah Frances Geiselman Vera Wilde, Georgia Ream, Virginia German, Jennie Mlekodaj, Norma Peterson, Edna Summerfield, Phvllis Biggs, Lavon Refzkling, Betty Greenfield, Stella Maslowicz, Pansy Leonard, Anna Roberts and Sara Pettinato. 1935 p

Q The Redskin Annual Class Plays .fi I. HE Fixer, a three act comedy presented by the seniors November 27, was an- gie other success. The story revolved around Waldo Powers CRay Beauchampj who was always getting himself mixed up. His friend, Willie B. Repaid fDon Shillingj was the fixer who tried to fix everything for him, but us- ually made things worse. Marigold Maine, the lovely heroine was played by Evelyn Edwards. Mrs. Maine QHarriett Johnsoni carried very well the role of Marigold's mother. She played opposite Chester Reitknecht, who was the eliicient Dr. Robin Killum. The comedy interests were supplied by Gabriel fMickey Thurmonl and his sweetie, Cleopatra CVivian Wagnerj a maid at the hotel. Hinkle 1 Phillip Badellj was the timid soul who was engaged to Marigold. Ethelyne played by Anita 'Hale depicted the role of secretary to Mrs. Gosnell, fMarion Watsonj and only added to the already mu ch complicated situation. Irene Miller CCamilleJ furnished the love interest for Willie while Inez Byer fRuth Royce! was the plain home girl. Many times the intri- cate, interwoven plot became so complex that it seemed it could never be straightened. However the fixer straightened out all the problems and difiiculties. The audience, convulsed with mirth most of the time, once more paid homage to the dramatic talent of the Senior Class and to the director, Miss Nees. On April 9, 1935 the Juniors produced their first play, a three act mystery drama entitled Tiger House. There were ten charactrs: Erma Lowrie, the pretty heroine, was portrayed by Mary Ed Johnstong Macintosh, her detective-sweetheart by 'Devon Biggs, and Arthur Hale by Edward Roepstorfil The Comedy roles were taken by Ei- leen Pettis as Aunt Sophia, a maiden aunt, Peggy Van Ess, a modern girl, by Audrey Schock, and Oswald Kearns a bug collector, by John Whitson. Mystery and the sinis- ter were added by Yami, a Hindu, played by Neal Smith, the Mystery Woman by Phyl- lis Mosher, Mrs. Murdock by Mary George and Thompson by Frank Gurrado. The play was the first of its type to be presented in our school, and the unusually large audience acclaimed it one of the best ever given. The play was ably coached by Miss Nees.

Intramural The Fall and Spring intramural program of Knox High School opened with the Senior class turning sluggers and defeating the Junior and Soph- omore classes in baseball. The Juniors determined- ly came back strong to show the Seniors that they could shoot baskets better and thus defeated the Seniors in a hard-fought basketball game. The Sophomores defeated the Freshmen in an overtim.e battle when Phillips hit from the center of the floor and put the Sophomores out ahead by one point as the gun blasted. The Juniors finally defeated the Sophomores after a thrilling point to point battle for the championship. The Spring program opened with the Juniors swamping the Freshmen and Sen- iors in the indoor baseball tourney. The girls opened their program with a Kick Ball Tourney. The Junior and Senior girls fell by the way-side early in the tourney, but the Sophomores showed their kicking ability and walked away with scoring honors. The annual intramural class track meet will be held soon and from advance dope the Seniors have an almost clear way to the title. The girls also have their track meet and indoor baseball tourney to compete. Q 1935 p
