This statement ot Teddy Roosevelt's could be applied to our student government here at Lake Charles High. The patience ot the teachers and hall monitors, the work on the Homecoming Ball, and the spirit ot co-operation that prevails all go toward making the Student Council a most important governing body. Under the capable Presidency of Cliitord Bumpus, the projects this year, the Frontier Dance, Homecoming, Football Anniversary Celebration, Freshmen Day Program, and the Hall Moni- tor System have been outstandingfeso has this year's Council. All proceeds from Home- coming went into a fund to build a memorial to those who lost their lives in the Second World W' ar. The students are very proud ot their Council, just as the Council is most proud ot their patient and efficient sponsor, Miss Grace Ulmer. 7 - S at f. -wl 0' M get ' to Miss GRACE ULMER E .

Monnie posed pictures, wrote the dedica- tion as well as other copy, and was responsible tor enough other things to till this page. ln the opinion ot the sponsor, Monnie ranks as a number one editor.

Unless one is on the staff, he cannot possibly realize the many hours of hard work that go into the composition of this record of school events. The Vlfildcat is sent to other schools all over Louisiana and to many schools outside the state. An exchange of papers with other schools gives students an opportunity to learn what others are accomplishing. For the first time the off-set method has been used this year in the printing of the Wildcat. This comparatively new process has proved to be a big success. Although its primary joh is to record and publish the news ol the school, the Wildcat sponsors a series of writing contests throughout the year to encourage students to write. As one ot the most outstanding and popular papers in the state, the Wildcat is highly regarded by all who read it.

They must maintain a B average throughout the year. The members are selected on the basis ot scholarship, leadership, character, and service. As usual, this year the National Honor Society awarded the Scholarship Banner to the roll call having the highest aver- age. A series of tilms on safety was presented to the student body, proving invaluable as examples ot the precautions which we should follow. At the end ot every school year, an impressive ceremony ot initiation is held. This presentation provides an excellent op- portunity to impress on all the students the principles ot the National Honor Society. Miss Trahan, the sponsor ot the society, is a living example at the ideal ot the clubf fScholarship, Leadership, Character, and Service. NATIONAL nouns?

MARTHA HATCHETTE MARGARET WATKINS Lois ALLEN 'iliiltivn One of the most outstanding organizations ot Lake Charles High School is the Kilties who participate in all school and civic activities. Qualifications tor membership include marching ability, scholarship, character, cooperation, dependability, health, punctuality, and interest. During the 1948-1949 season the Kilties attended most of the out-ot-town games and all of the town games. They participated in the 1948 Rice Festival. We hope there will always be a group worthy ot such praise as the 1949 Kilties. Miss lRIs MURPHY, Director To Miss lris Murphy goes the sincere gratitude of the Lake Charles High School student body tor her tireless efforts as sponsor of the Kilties. Because of her patience and direction, the Kilties have become nationally known through their performance at the 1949 Sugar Bowl Classic. To say thank you to her for her countless hours ot time and Worry would be a masterpiece of understatement. The sweetest sugar lumps in the Sugar Bowl. On Ianuary l, 1949, the Kilties made a trip to New Orleans where they entertained the 85,000 Sugar Bowl fans by their extraordinary execu- tion oi precision drilling. This invitation to the Sugar Bowl was, by far, the highest honor ever given to this organization. If I.

This is the fourth consecutive year that these boys have been victorious. The weather was bad for the game and luck seemed to be against L.C.H.S. The Indians took advan- tage of a fumble and an intercepted pass to make the score l3vU at the half. Late in the third period, lstrouma scored her third touchdown. The 'Wildcats came back after that kickoff to make their only score. A pass from Watson to Wood made the first touchdown for the Wildcats in the '48 season. The final score was 20-6, in favor of the lstrouma Indians. Q GORDY DEROUEN BUDDY DAsP1T BUDDY DUPIN The Wildcats, staging a brilliant come' back in their second game, gained a vic- tory of 47-21 over the Houma Tigers. ln the opening period, Fredericks smashed seven yards for the first score. Two Cat tallies were scored in the second quarter. Watson passed to Wood for one and to Hardeman for the second. At the half the score stood-Wildcats 21--Houma O. ln the third period, Houma tried for a come- back. They scored twice, but this was fol- lowed by a TD by Watson. Houma, in turn, followed with another marker. The Wildcats grabbed three more quick touch- downs in the closing minutes of the game. Oakley ran 70 yards for the final score, seconds before the whistle blew. ALFRED BHAME Seng , fowliqh T fl S W cr . eakcgxgxh ,ll R0wi'.,:?m FR fflif' A 1 S TN- LOC 11.-ifi1Sclm,,!

FREDERICKS On October lst, the L.C.H.S. Wildcats met the Sam Houston Tigers at Killen Field.. The broken field running of Harold Wood and the excellent playing of such stalwarts as Sam Lisotta, lesse Storts, and Buddy Dupin in the forward wall supplied the big spark that the Cats needed to win. Wood scored four times and set up another touchdown during the night. After the half, the second tearn got the chance to show their stuff with Butchee making the tally. Late in the fourth period, Sam Hous- ton scored, to make the final tally, 45-l3, another victory for the Wildcats.
