Vic Eaton stood out on offense while Harvey Parker was a stalwart in the line. September 24-The William Chrisman Bears ruined the Coronation of Betty Finney as Miss Sham- rock, running over the Irish 19-0. Lafayette was unable to gain much yardage through the Chrisman line but turned up with a nice passing attack. Eaton and Bob Magnuuson stood out on offense, while Herb Portman and Charlie Thomas looked good on defense. September 30-The Shamrocks, after drawing first blood in the game, succumbed to a second half VVentworth d1'ive in losing 29-7. Bob Magnusson tossed to Harry Clark for the lone Lafayette- tally, and John H-ambrick added the point from placement. October 8-Lafayette looked bad in losing to the Central Indians 27-0.

BASKETBALL SQUAD This year's basketball edition of the Lafayette Shamrocks was the best since the Irish were co-champions of the city league in 1944. It climaxed a lo-ng, uphill fight to get batk on the winning side of the ledger. Lafayette tied with Central for top honors in the Pony Express Conference. They also fin- ished in a tie for second with the Tribe in City League competition. Their inability to beat the Indians kept them from becoming one of the best teams to come out of Lafayette. All loyal Shamrock rooters are, however, proud of this team in amassing a total of 646 points against 563 for the opposition while winning 11 games and losing 10.

L On either side of the Siege Perilous they remained for a moment, lifting up the Holy Grail. Then. with the Grail held high between them, they passed from Camelot. From the Siege Peri- lous Galahad rose and followed them, and after him, at a little distance, went Launcelot and the other knights of Arthur. The king himself stood motionless before his throne, and as he listened. there floated back the voice of Galahad. Thus ended the nineteenth presentation of The Holy Grail, annually presented by the stu- dents of Lafayette High School under the direction of Miss VVinifred Gallagher. This year two significant changes were made in this beautiful production. The Nativity scene was moved to the center of the stage and two angels were added to this unforgettable scene. a Also, there were two new altar windows magnificently constructed by Miss Helen McMachen and her art classes.

Sixty-two WE HAVE NCT LOST THEM Miss Martha Hockaday radiated the qualities of happiness, helpfulness, and confidence, so completely that those around her were influenced to strive toward higher living. Her sympathetic understanding of the problems of all who were associated with her. both student and teacher, and her ever-present smile, will linger long in the minds and hearts of all who knew her as a worthy and sincere friend. Death took Miss Hockaday, August 6, 1948. following an accident near Bellevue, Kansas. Mr. Vvalter L. Butts, whose Congeniality and good sportsmanship will long be remembered, gave many years of service as an instructor here at Lafayette. He died on April 15, 1949, in Rochester, Minnesota, after a brief illness. He will be sincerely missed by both students and faculty members. Mrs. Ruby Goodwin Butler, a teacher and friend whose sunny disposition was always in evidence, even when adversity was present, passed from this life on May 16, 19454, in Corning, Iowa. Lafayette High School suffered a loss which will be felt for years by those persons who were closely associated with her as teacher. fellow-faculty member, and friend. Wife give them back to Thee, dear Lord, Who gavest them to us, Yet. as Thou dost not lose them in giving, So we have not lost them by their return.
