Laramie High School - Plainsman Yearbook (Laramie, WY)

Text from Pages 1 - 52 of the 1944 volume:

THE PLAINSMEN PUBLISHED BY THE JOURNALISM CLASS OF 1944 IS DEDICATED TO YOU, one of the 9J0 students who are the body, even the life of Laramie High—to you, the boy too small to play football, but who played anyway; to you, the basketball player who held your place as a true sportsman throughout the season; to you, the one who played that snappy note in the band as you stepped forward with a proud, quick step; to you, who cheered for the other team, as well as your own; to you, who donned your grease paint and costume; to you, who ran down the halls causing the older folk to scowl—and smile; to you, who played for dances, and sang in lovely harmony; to you, who sold and bought those bonds and stamps, putting L. H. S. first in patriotism; to you, who learned to cook and sew; to you, who were taught to till the soil and care for your animals; to you, who were prompt to each class every day—it is to YOU, 950 strong, who did your part, large or small, to build morale behind the lines, and prepare for full living in the victorious future, that we dedicate this, our Senior Edition.

A lot of queries” who thought they’d have fun. They soon found out that it wasn’t all cake For now the Plainsman Staff boasts eight! The majority of headlines had been done by Clark. And Gcorgie’s Sports Column was quite a lark. Ninety per cent of typing done by Kil er. Davidson and Rains. They didn’t spare the fingernails, boy, did it take pains! No nose for news,” So we've l ccn told .... And you ought to see the way Scotty” can scold! Edna s Service Column was definitely tops. And the complimenting letters she got were tops! The sixteen pictures taken by Trustworthy Arthur Added a great deal to our little old paper. Our mortality rate had been pretty high. We were slow, that's true, but we got by. We distributed in halls instead of to class, It was a novelty to us. and kids came en masse.” No editor among us, that was quite true. We publicized the Amateur Hour and Glee Club Dance, too. mess!)

When Friday came ’round, they folded Heralds all. We had a big exchange list, thanks to Tom Moore. And our Herald was a morale-builder instead of a bore. We made a change in pictures for the Senior Edition. And during the year Guest Editorials were written. e wrote editorials to stress an improvement. Soon ’twas learned this was an accomplished movement. Wolves and I.amb$ vied in the sales campaign. George and Val were top winners in this game. .Though the battle raged on with enthused opposition. The W olves as winners, brought the Lambs to submission! The April Fool edition was the last of the year And it brought many a chuckle and loads of good cheer. Six were eligible for Quill and Scroll. For superior work in writing and editing, all told. With that we wound up our writing careers. And we leave room 228 for future years. I OFFICE STAFF $u|M-rlnt«t� U-iit A. A.

Coming in their rags and so-called clothes, the entire school enjoyed the annual Sadie Hawkins’ Day Dance. Prizes were awarded to the most appropriate and humor- ous costumes and a gtxxl time was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended. The Juniors throughout the year have been rep- resented in all school organizations and many have outstanding records. Competing with their long-time rivals, the sen- iors, the Juniors always showed their excellent pa- triotism by leading in the selling of bonds and stamps and winning one of the major war bond drives of the year. Not to be outdone by the rest of the school, the assembly put on by the Juniors was a big suc- cess. It was very original and enjoyed by all. To l e found at all games were the volunteers from the class, contributing their ability to sell candv, gum, etc., when it could be obtained. The Junior Prom brought to an end the social life of the Juniors. Our thanks go to Miss Avery, sponsor of our class, who has made it a very pleasant year in each and every Junior's life.

SOPHOMORES Ohe SOPHOMORIC destinies of the Class of 46 were officially in the hands of Bob Quisenbcrry, president; Donna Carroll, vice-president; Agnes Burns, secretary: Sain Allen, treasurer; and Janet Forbes and Bill Breslin, representatives on the Stu- dent Council. D. S. Costello was sponsor. The death early in February of Sain Allen, saddened the whole school and, in particular, the members of the Sophomore class. Sammy” will be forever remembered by his classmates for the modest, fun-loving, and altogether likeable lad that he was. During the year the Sophomores demonstrated more than once that they are a group of uncommon energy. They were first in the Junior Red Cross drive, contributing more than one-third of the total ($140) raised by all six classes. They made a good showing also in the war bond campaigns. And (as of March 15) they were the only class in school which could say, Every last one of our members has paid his dues—100 per cent!” As this goes to press, the Sophomores arc plan- ning to sponsor two all-school assemblies, one a motion picture and the other a Sophomore talent program. Very exclusive social activities were a class picnic last fall and a party held in February. Any impartial observer must concede the fact that this Class of ’46 is unusually rich in boy-power and girl-power. Its athletes should come fully into their own next year. Its Thespians have already astonished the groundlings. And its intelligentsia are—well, practically a drug on the market. Bright indeed seem the next two years for Laramie High!

Going hand in hand with the Sophs on the An- niversary of Pearl Harbor as struggling, striving, and stooping bond drivers, we were disappointed, but still clung to our line_of hope. Our “Erosh” Glee Club and Orchestra showed their musical ability in the Christmas assembly. much to the disappointment of the rest of the school. Then came the climax of the year; the party, with a grand turnout, “point” expensive refreshments, and a variety of entertainment. Showing great enthusiasm, the class put in its hid for Valentine’s Queen along with the others, in the person of Jackie Abbott. Topping the year with an assembly, we exhibited the originality for which we are truly noted. Our anticipation for the coming year is over- whelming; and, as we survey the past, we’d much rather look to the future. FRESHMAN GIRLS Front Row: Skirley Cooley. I.ouiie Botucr. Joyce Beckett.

Enjoyed by the whole school and many visitors was an assembly given by this en- ergetic group which included a movie entitled, “If I Were King.” During the year, two parties were also given for the class in the Activity Room. Refreshments were served and prizes were given for different activities. They also did their part in the war bond drives, tying for first place with the Juniors in one drive. MRS.

SEVENTH GRADE t3i HE CLASS OF 1949, consisting of about 185 members, met for the first time in September, 1943. The following were chosen as class officers: Bev- erly Mayhew, president: Anna Mesa, vice-president; Audrey Boyle, secretary and treas- urer: Marjorie Martin and Bob Wyatt represented the class on the Student Council: Miss Esther Gilmore was the class sponsor. This class was very active during the full school year: and, if their future might l� c judged by what they did this l� st year, you can expect great MISS GILMORE thinSS thc ° C °j greatest advantages of this zip and pep is that it builds moral, especially dur- ing trying war-days. Included on this moral” list was a Christmas party held by the class in the Activity Room December 14: dancing and games furnished the entertainment. On November 10, Beverly Mayhew. president of the class, gave a short talk in the Junior Red Cross assembly. Also helping to build moral, the members of the class participated in the Christmas Assembly program December 22; in this Boh Wyatt and Bobby Connors gave a skit entitled Oh, Doctor!”: and John Burris gave a reading entitled The Men Go Christmas Shoppin'.” About 50 members of the class belong to the Junior Dramatics Club. A number took | art in the plays— Proposing to Papa and That’s What They All Say —given for the parents and faculty November 18. On March 1 they gave their last contribution in the form of an entertaining movie entitled, Topper Takes A Trip.” SEVENTH GRADE GIRLS Front Row: Do loro McCarty. Dai- kon Jmwn. Bonnie Roewler.

STI DKNT COUNCIL Sullanae White, Wwi.ile Cohmt, Mr. Mciiwrt, Hugo Jenaen. Bill Itrealin, Nanoctte NouttK-rry, Billy Gilbert, Marjorie Martin STUDENT €[ ERY YEAR THE different classes elect stu- dent council members. Each class elects two repre- sentatives, one boy and one girl. This year the Seniors elected Clco Krafczik and Xannette Rose- berry; from the Juniors came Tom Garrod and Juliannc White. When Tom decided to become one of the high and mighty seniors, Hugo Jensen was elected to take his place as the junior mcmljer. The Sophomore Class chose Rill Breslin and Janet Korbes; the Freshman Class, Wendell Cosner and Shirley Cooley; the eighth grade, Billy Gillrert and Joyce Thompson; and last but not least by a long shot the seventh grade, Bob Wyatt and Slarjorie Martin. These members decorated the front hall of the High School for the Halloween party which they sponsored. First there was a moving picture after which a dance in the gym was held. COUNCIL On Christmas the Student Council had charge of the Christmas assembly and the treat for the whole school. The treat consisted of ice cream and cookies; the cookies were l aked and donated by the women of the P.-T. A. The afternoon was completed by a dance held in the little gym. Several dances were sponsored in the Activity Room after school for the various grades. An April Fool’s party, given by this same group, was a gay affair at which everyone present was supposedly dressed vice versa. The boys came as the lesser half and the girls wore the jxants. It was a regular Leap Year Dance to which the girls j aid all expenses. The Student Council purchased copies of the Parliamentary Primer which they presented to all class and club officers, in the hope that the clubs of our school should be conducted according to parliamentary rule. 1« NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Seated: M.

Rosie, Clark, and Margaret. Elected then to the society were Marvin Willard. Janies Bath, Betty Topham, Mildred Rains. Bobby Jean Chisholm, Marilyn Wheeler, and Nan- nette Roscbcrry.

Miss Louise Scott, as she told how each one shone as an individual and as a journalist. She also recounted the history of Quill and Scroll: Mar- garet Rcusscr, ’43. explained the pin. and Maureen Smith. ’43, distributed pins and membership cards. The high school home ec room served as the proper place for the initiation. After the ceremony the center-piece—(Talismen roses)—was given to each member who wore one on his coat or suit lapel. Bonnie Davidson’s Chrysler served as a means of “getting to their destination”—“The Connor Hotel”—where steak dinners were served. Pictures were taken directly after dinner at Kay's Studio where one saw the boys wearing dark suits and the girls their new Easter suits, hats, gloves, and purses. The theatre provided entertainment the rest of the evening for those who cared to go. Ql ILL AND SCROLL Seated: Clark Alim. Mildred Rain . (iNtft Collin . Standing: Maurine Smith. Bonnie Kilzer.

They per- formed for bond-rallies, school athletic pep assemblies and all home games as well as in Cheyenne for the l«sketl)all game: at a district teachers' meeting, school plays, various street parades, with a sj ccial winter band concert in De- cember and spring band con- cert during National Music Week in May. Added to the uniforms this year was the school's plainsman emblem and a gold shoulder citation cord both worn on the left sleeve. Various individuals of the group played solos for many occasions in the school and for the clubs throughout the city. A clarinet ensemble com- posed of Raymond Wheeler, Roy Hays. Raymond Baker, Jerry Dukes. Marlin Lowry, and Kenneth Hofferber performed on several occasions. Thus the Band proved itself definitely a service organi- zation and builder of morale! MR.

Initiation for 18 new members was held Novem- ber 3 in the Activity Room, and a buffet supper was served; this was followed by the formal ini- tiation. The girls Vere busy all through the year, sing- ing for many prominent organizations in the com- munity. The first performance was for the County Teachers' Convention in Octol er: this was followed by programs given for the Kiwanis Club, the Ro- tary Club, and the Lions Club at their noon meet- ings. In November they took part in the assembly for the Red Cross. Early in December a program was given in the ballroom of the Wyoming Union for the State Convention of Agriculturists.

On March 3 the Activity Room was transformed into a night club for the annual spring formal. The dance programs were clever miniature calen- dars. About sixty couples attended and all en- joyed themselves immensely. The awards for this year will include one four- year award to Nannette Rosel crry, eleven pendants for three years’ work, and fourteen pins for two years’ work. Under the able leadership of Miss Nickclscn the girls have had a very successful year, and it shall long be remembered. 20 P ny CUr, Bob Will CHORAL SPEAKING Gordon Kellogg. l ran Logan.

Ixmg. Ago.” “The Christ Child,” and Christmas Everywhere.” With the new semester, a practically new group of choristers took the stage, forming an impressive V at all performances. This new group numbered twelve. Their first |x rformance was a This Is America” program for the Jesters Club. Included in this were “There's A Nation.” “America Is Americans,” and “Pershing at the Front.” During National Drama Week the choir gave a Lincoln program at a Kiwanis Club luncheon, and for the weekly assembly. “This Is America” was related for the Founders’ Day Program, the final perform- ance for the year.

S., the Class of ’44 put its all into the Senior Play entitled Brother Goose,” and were indeed rewarded for their efforts by an appreciative audience, when the curtain went up at 8 o’clock. Tuesday. April 4, a day to Ik long remembered. The time devoted to the “building” of the play was enjoyed by each member of the cast. Here grew moments which shall never lie forgotten by any of them. Moments, such as those when all suddenly felt ill when Phyllis Marts was believed to have the mumps, and when Lee Burrows and Ellen Sackett guided a buxom motorcycle, which they had never touched before, through too nar- row” doors in front of a “full house.” Despite all the trials and tribulations, the cast secured properties, costumes and furniture, to say nothing of facing a hilarious crowd when skiis and hall trees fell to the floor taking the telephone and picture from the wall with them. Then. too. Lee Rains took time out to re|H rt to Uncle Sam for a physical. And still the play proved to lie the l est of the year, by providing an excellent op| ortunity to drown the evil thoughts of war in those of mirth and laughter. The cast, which was ca| ably directed by Miss Knepper, consisted of the following: Jeffery Adams....................Dwight Covington {Wesley Adams...............Lee Burrows Carol Adams....................Mildred Rains llyancith “Hy” Adams..

THE JUNIOR Class flew into the Laramie High School Auditorium, November 24, to present “Sky Road,” a breath taking play about airplanes. Midge Saunders (Colleen Carroll) and Buddy Walters (Eddie Foreman) together with Lucky Parker (Gertrude Butcher) and Bill Jones (Dean Logan) made up the romantic side of the play. As telephone operator, Mable (Mable Brewster) brought in the laughs, with the help of two steward- esses. Connie Bickeel (Edna Louise Royer) and Sue Lamb (Elva Puckett). Keeping you on edge with their nervousness were Andy Saunders (Gor- don Kellogg) and Ann Rogers (Sylvia Morrill). As executives, Carrie Evans (Peggy Hitchcock) and Steve Hamland (Nile Baker) were strict, but understanding. Determined and stubborn was Sally Barton (Marjorie Snow), the newspaper reporter. The part of the nurse. Miss Fclding, was capably handled by Anna Geitz. Thompson (Marvin Will- ard) and MacFarland (Glen Stickley), helped to make the play go over smoothly.

Bonnie Davidson Sylvia Morrill ...........President .....Pice-President Secretary- Treasurer jSlXTY THESPIANS, too young for the Army, liegan their second wartime year in September with a program designed to fulfill the idea of the club- service and morale builders m the community. Assembled in the auditor- ium, twenty-three neophytes proved themselves worthy for initiation into the club. As proof of their talents the ini- tiates provided entertainment for the entire school, satiriz- ing the well known Stage Door Canteen. Outstanding among the cast were Greg Smith portraying Frank Sin- atra. Rene Ingram as Virginia miss LiNroRD O’Brien, and Martin Small’s imitation of A1 Dexter. The first presentation of the year was Plane Crazy, a plain, crazy play received enthusiastically by the community play-goers. Perry Clay exempli- fied the idea of a young boy, intent upon contribut- ing his part to the war effort, in spite of parental interference: Charles Grccnbaum and Gordon Kel- logg aided and abbetted him; and even the oldster, Louis Carnes, took his j art against his well-meaning parents, Colleen Carroll and Roy Vickery. During National Drama Week. February 6-11, two programs were given. “Why I Am A Bach- elor, and the annual original production, On the Air. written and directed by Tom Moore, in which the entire group participated. Climaxing 1944, Troupe No. 70. exhibited their diversified talents in an afternoon and evening pro- gram of one-act plays. The two serious dramas were Women Who Wait, depicting wives of Alaskan flyers who wait for their skyblazing hus- bands to return. Included in the cast were Janet Forbes, Sylvia Morrill, Carol Lee Maxcy, Marjorie Snow, and Phyllis Byers. The other.

Everything at the Cleveland Airport was run- ning smoothly until Lucky Parker decided to return as stewardess.

Several children developed their original designs in weaving raffia !aj cl novelties and raffia table mats. These were displayed in the large exhibit case in the hall. All students arc fascinated with weaving when manipulating the levers of the table looms. Mats and neck scarfs were made. The puppet show is the chief activity for the spring term, hut accompanying it were poppy posters for the American I«cgion Auxiliary annual Poppy- Poster Contest. Block prints which were used in connection with the school j aper and in the An- nual” selling campaign were also made by the Junior and Senior classes. A small membership in the Art Club elected Mabel Brewster, president; Jean Dolan, vice-presi- dent : Betty Ann Lind, secretary. s FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA Richard Strom OHE SNOWY RANGE Chapter of the Future Farmers of America opened their school year by electing the officers. I atcr in the year, Ted Barry, president, moved to Colorado: Claude May then took over the presidency and Arthur Meyer was elected vice-president in May's place. At the beginning of the school year the chapter wel- comed nineteen new members who became Creenhands” at a somewhat informal initiation. They were later formally in- itiated. Chapter Farmers were Jimmy Carroll, Harry Lankford, George Lucy, James McMichacI, Alfred Mesa. Claude May. Jimmy Cruickshank, Arthur Meyer, and Jimmy Morris, Ted Barr)- and Richard Strom were can- didates for the State Farmer Degree. One of the big school activities of the Chapter for the year was the war bond and stamp contest between thc F. F. A. Chapter and Hoti’s Harem: in this the F. F. A. sold over $38,000 in war l onds and stamps. Incidentally, Hoti’s Harem sold about $3,000 more than that thus winning the contest. The Chapter has purchased a $100 war bond. Mr. Ireland, instructor, and ten members at- tended the Denver Livestock Show. Representing the Snowy Range Chapter at the State F. F. A. convention held at Casper. March 30 to April 1, were Alfred Mesa and Richard Strom as delegates, Jimmy Carroll as public speaker, Don Xottage and Claude May as guests, and of course Mr. Ireland as advisor. Jimmy placed fourth in the State F. F. A. Public Shaking Contest and Richard was awarded the State Farmer Degree, and was elected delegate-at-large for the state. The Lions Club furnished an F. F.

Notes were mixed, treasures unfound, and a frost bitten, disappointed group returned to the warm Activity Room for refreshments to forget about the futile search. By teaching classes in the grade schools, junior high, and senior high the “future assignment sling- ers” completed a year of service, guidance, and fun. Betty Ann Atkinson.

F. Williams...........................Sponsor OHE COMMERCIAL CLUB, otherwise known as Hoti’s Harem, was originally organized to further the interest in. and ability for. getting jobs after graduation. On this subject the Commercial Club has had the following speakers: Fred I .ebbart. court reporter: W. W. Tipton, lawyer: Mary Tibbits. journalist. But with the war on. I loti’s Harem, or- ganized and became the only victory corps in the high school, and commenced selling stamps and bonds. When the Third War I-oan Drive was held. Hoti’s Harem sponsored a contest between com- bined classes. At the end of the Drive they held a Victory Party honoring the winning classes, jun- iors and eighth graders, and also crowning Keith Topham and Bonnie Davidson, king and queen, for selling the most bonds in the Third War Loan Drive. Along about this time the club was honored at an assembly held at the University Auditorium by two movie stars and several war heroes. The offi- cers of the club were greeted publicly by the movie stars. At this assembly, the president, Ellen Sackett, was presented with a sjyccial award, in lyclial f of Laramie High School, for selling the most bonds and stamps in the state during the Third War Loan Drive. Then when a jeep drive was held among the schools of Wyoming. Hoti’s Harem sold enough bonds and stamps to purchase thirty-three jeeps. The whole state quota was only thirty-five iccps. Hoti’s Harem also participated in the Fourth War I-oan Drive. The F. F. A., representing the boys of Laramie High, challenged Hoti’s Harem, meaning girls, and of course Hoti’s 1 larcm, accept- ing the cliallcnge, came through with flying colors, winning by around $5.000. Hoti’s Harem together with the F. F. A. pur- chased a placquc for the Honor Roll of Laramie High School. Each person buying or selling $561 worth of bonds chose a name of a former student of I ramie High at the time of Pearl Harbor and now serving in the Armed Forces to put on the Honor Roll. The girls and Mr. W’illiams believe the old say- ing. “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.’’ So they have been Ixnvling every Monday night and completely forgetting their business. 0rj7j0rJ0rJ0rJ0rJFj0rj0rj4rjF'j4F’x H F. PLAINSMEN CHEERLEADERS m Mim kki Rains ! Illustrating the man shortage to the fullest, was the fact that Laramie High had, in 1944, four girl cheerleaders for the first time in its history. Nevertheless, these four—Bernice Irene, Mildred Rains, Bonnie Davidson, and Barbara Fluty—car- ried on, with ability that many men would have to work for, the numerous duties of a cheerleader. Never a game or a j cj rally was held without these four maroon and white clad gals there giving their liest to bring out the stored enthusiasm from the crowd, which spurs a team on to win a glorious victory, or accept a gallant defeat. Being a part of the Pep Club, the cheerleaders s| onsored several dances after games, and during Tournament did all they could to make the visit of other teams and their fans a pleasant one. They also took part in all other Pep Club activities dur- ing the year. Three of the girls, Bonnie, Mildred, and Irene, leave this year with many untorgetable memories of their cheerleader days, while Barbara stays to carry on next year with new “fella leaders, the kind of enthusiasm for victory through fair team play, that only a cheerleader can know and have. !

They also put on a drill during the half of the Casper game which they practiced on Wednesday nights. If it weren’t drilling, they were sewing for the Red Cross. Their assembly was a scene of the basketball boys' favorite hang-out, the |xx l room. Among other things, they have mailed copies of the Plainsman I Ierald to the boys serving overseas, from I aramic High School, and contributed money that was taken in at the dance after the Cheyenne game to the Infantile Paralysis fund.

WRANGLERS k Dwight Covington t Ai' THE CLOSE of the 43” school year, k Dwight Covington was elected president; Dick Dc- Jl land, vice-president; Charles Pugh, sccrctary-trcas- % urcr; and Don Helm, sergeant-at-arins. S However, at the beginning of this school year, Dwight resigned to become president of the Senior class, and Dean Stickley was elected to take over m the responsibilities of the club. Another change occurred when Dick DeLand left to join tlic Army Air Corj $, and Kenneth Esterbrook took over his I {•j0rjrw rjrjr.MWM, duties. Paul Ringert, known to all Wranglers as Uncle Paul, took his stand as sponsor for the third consecutive year. m To start the year the Wrangler Club had twenty- k five members, but as time elapsed, they lost several to the Armed Forces; besides Dick, they lost Bob m Springer. Douglas Ferguson, and Melvin Matson k to the Navy. o During the course of the year, the club gave an assembly for the entertainment of the school. They k also ushered at school functions and did the odd jobs at basketball and football games. The Wranglers and Pep Club went together and enter- k tained the “43” football team with a dance. The k Wranglers were well represented in the intramural basketball tournament. k To top the year's activities, they gave their k Eighth Annual Wrangler Amateur Hour which is always one of the biggest events of the year. Dwight Archie” Covington acted as the Master of Cere- k monies. i ! ci.i it Kront Km: Mwin THkikt, Maitin Small. Tom Cr� v Ocfte Itrnoon, Coach Kanlin, It.A. Hum , im.

Tweed from Craig, Colorado, the Plainsmen began their 1943 season with approxi- mately 35 hopefuls. Most of these were Freshmen and Sophomores. This green squad finished the season with one win and six losses. Although no football camp was held, the Plains- men began practice a week early, getting rounded into shape for their first game with the Rawlins Outlaws. Laramie led Rawlins 6-0 at the half, but a fighting Outlaw team came back to win 13-6. Next Laramie met the Fort Collins' Lambkins. Trailing 19-0 at the half time, the Plainsmen came Lack to out-play the Lambkins; but, failing to score, the game ended 19-0. Laramie journeyed to Casper; and, again, the fighting boys from I a ramie dropped their third game to the Casper Mustangs 14-0. Meeting the Rock Springs’ Tigers in their an- nual homecoming game, Laramie won a well-earned FOOTBALL Front Ron-: Assistant 7-6 victory, with Russell Cooley plunging over for the score. This was Laramie’s turning point in football as the Plainsman squad began to be hit by injuries. Moving next to Wheatland, the Plainsmen, being unable to score several times from close up, were up set by the Wheatland Bulldogs, 7-0. Playing the Rawlins’ Outlaws for the second time, Laramie still hard hit by injuries, but able to field a team mostly made up of second stringers, dropped another to Rawlins. 46-6, who scored at will to beautiful blocking. Ending the season against the Cheyenne In- dians from over the hill, the Plainsmen played the Indians on even terms for a quarter and a half, but finally gave in because of lack of reserves and lost 32-0. Thus the Plainsmen ended another year of foot- ball, but all was not in vain as Russell Cooley was named to the All-State third team, with Richard Quisenberry.

ARAM IE’S FIGHTING Plainsmen, led by four lettermen—Burns, Fluty, Brown, and Collins- started the 1944 season with a schedule of 24 games, losing 11 and winning 13. Laramie, after losing three of their first four games, started on a six-game winning streak which saw the Plainsmen defeat the best in the state, and also be the only team in Wyoming to defeat Cheyenne. Brushing off an up and down season, the Plains- men headed for the District Meet at Wheatland. In the first game I aramie defeated Lusk 43-24, moving into the semi-finals to defeat a stubborn Wheatland five 21-20. Laramie met Cheyenne in the finals only to lose 39-26. Rex Brown, guard, who was ill. only saw action in two games, and Yeoman, Burns, and Collins were given l crths on the All-District Honor Roll. Working hard for the state tournament, which was held in Laramie, the Plainsmen again hit a bad break when Brown l ecame ill and Fluty injured his back.
