Their understanding and counsel have helped faculty and students strive for an academic program of high standard, for good citizenship, and for a school spirit that will endure through years to come. The year of 1955-56 has been marked not only by these attainments but also by the completion of a building program that will yield dividends as it cares for the physical needs of the high school, Zoaulofi STANDING: Robert S.

Five custodians, a working team, kept classrooms and halls in satisfactory con- dition and stood ever ready to aid careless students with no locker key and otherwise in need of a friend.

Following a six-inch plunge in the first quarter by quarterback Tommy Moore, Liberal split the contest wide open in a little more than the first five minutes of the second half on runs of 74 and 52 yards made by Alan Forker and Bob Kurth. T e team then went on to an easy victory. Liberal suffered only one injury in the game, but a costly one as center, Steve Boles, sustained a fracture of his collar bone, which kept him out of competition for center position for the remainder of the season. Liberal Z7 Hugoton 0 Liberal did all of its scoring in the first half to whip the Hugoton Eagles Z7-0 but failed to count in the final half of the game. In the startling contrast to the first two periods when the Redskin's scoring was reminiscent of the 71- O rout a year ago. Liberal got in only ZZ plays in the last half as penalties and a stiffer Eagle defense kept them from the goal line. Alan Forker took the ball up the .INS X 4 N V!

Alan Forker lunged over for the initial touchdown on the tenth play of the game followed by a 5-yard dash by Bob Kurth to give the Redskins a 13-0 first quarter score. Paul Priefert scored his first touchdown of the year on a 10-yard off-tackle shot to give Liberal a 19-0 half time margin. With four minutes remaining in the third stanza, Kurth took a pitchout from quarterback Moore and scampered 47 yards to pay dirt for the fourth touchdown followed by Moore in a keeper play around the end for 5 yards to conclude the scoring for the night. Moore is surrounded by defensive players nfs A-3. wr 1 nag. 5 Liberal 7 Garden City 20 The Redskins took their only defeat of the year from the Garden City Buffaloes coming out on the short end of a 20-'7 score. The play that broke the Redskins' backs was a 95-yard punt return by Garden City quarterback, Bob Henderson. Liberal's only score came in the first five minutes of the ball game on a pitchout from Moore to Kurth, which gave the Liberal fans hope of the first win over Garden City since 1951. The Buffaloes proceeded to drive the length of the field as they methodically punched holes in the Liberal line, then picked up needed yardage on sweeps around the end by Henderson.

P P ylsiberal had little touble scoring although Coach Hoxie Freeman, with an eye toward the St. Mary's game the follovvinglnight, shuffled the line-up throug out the last three quarters to slow the touchdown pace. Paul Priefert took a pitchout from quarterback Tommy Moore, and sped down the sideline 43 yards for the first score. Reserve halfback Jon Clark, punched across from the one capping a 70-yard drive for the second score. A safety and touchdowns by Kurth and Sullivan ended the scoring. Liberal l3 St. Mary's 6 The Redskins chalked up their sixth win with one loss by defeating a fired-up St. Mary's eleven, l3- . A 51-yard pass from Tommy Moore to Bob Kurth in the last minutes of the first quarter and a one-yard drive were the scores for the night. The Redskins scored their in- surance touchdown with l0 minutes remaining in the last quarter as Moore punched across from the one to cap a 69-yard drive. The Redskins played the game without regular halfback, Paul Prie- fert, who was out with an ankle injury suffered in the Meade contest. Liberal 30 Hays Cadets 12 Liberal Redskins, flashing their best all-around form of the season, vaulted into the Kansas-Oklahoma conference lead with a convincing 30-12 lashing of the touch Cadets from St. Joseph's Academy in Hays. Redskin backs, running behind fine blocking, riddled the vaunted Cadet defense for 346 yards rushing while the Liberal forward wall choked off Hays backs with 49 ground yards and would have held them scoreless except for some spectacular aerial receiving, which set up both Cadet Doug Sherrill JUIHOI t0llChd0Wf1S- Center One Year Moore looks for opening in Hays line Steve Sullivang Junior Charles Marcellus, Junior Back, One Year End, One Year ' J lv.. , - - ' . . - .gb A Q - - . -.,r' Q., -vi A-..

A shirt sleeved crowd of 2, 000 at Mahuron Field saw the Redskins push the heavier Kansas City eleven all over the turf and all but assure themselves of victory at half time with a 25-0 lead. Except for a slack third period when they failed to count, the Redskins applied constant pressure scoring on their first drive of the game and punching across their final marker in the last 40 seconds of the contest. Liberal's line play was along the same lines as the smashing gang-tackling type of defense which dominated the St. Mary's and Hays Cadet contests. Kurth sweeps end for TD 83 1' Liberal 37 Ulysses 6 Fueled by a four-touchdown barrage by brilliant Bob Kurth, Liberal's rapid Redskins rolled to their eighth vic- tory with a 37-6 lashing of Ulysses in the season finale. Fumbles cost the Tigers in the first period as the eager Redskin defenders converted three bobbles into touchdowns two by Kurth and one by fullback, Alan Forker. Although the Reds held a wide scoring margin, the versatile Tiger offense made the statistical edge much tighter. Liberal rolled up 304 yards, much of it on the reverse which, along with the pitchout, was the most effective Redskin play while Ulysses gained 191 rushing yards. This ended the Redskins' gridiron season with an out- standing record of eight wins with one loss.

Wait- resses, girls chosen from the sophomore class, added to the atmosphere being dress- ed as French cabaret girls. They wore black satin dresses covered with pastel net aprons and black picture hats with a pastel feather. The tables were decorated with artists' palettes serving as containers for flowers. The speakers' table bore miniature French dolls dressed in artists' smocks and berets, which carried out the colors of the prom, pink shading to deep purple. From the banquet room hosts and guests went to the old gym of the high school for the best prom L. H. S. will ever have, The gym was decorated with crepe paper streamers in varied shades of pinks and purples. Wheelbarrows to represent French ven- dor carts were filled with potted plants and spring flowers. Music was provided by the Sandie Swing- sters of Amarrillo, Texas. The foods room was cleverly decorated to represent a French sidewalk cafe. French waitresses served punch and cookies. ,Z speakers Tame in gag ?czzee E QIXLQFE ff E BQGBEB1 Invocation Rev. L. C.

Smith was instructingnhis novices in stage groupings, The thirteen-member cast portrayed a family, average in every way excepting for one son, a genius, who seemed a very ordinary chap, indeed, The trials of the family with far too many outside activities made up the play's action and brought the cast to adopting a back-to-the-home campaign that simply did not work in this busy world, Where the most important situation is that every member of the family feels secure because he is well beloved, Famil ains publicit th.rou h Back-to-the-home campaign YS Y 8 i Mr. Harley questions Dr. Cameron about disappearance of Uncle George Swarm Zlmmz 'Dum of Dead' The senior play, Drums of Death, will be remembered as a triumph of the last high school year of the class of 1956, The intriguing plot of a somewhat serious mystery play was relieved by subtle wit skill- fully brought out in the role of Sheriff Newt Cooper, The production was directed by John A. Smith, high school debate coach and teacher of speech, whose tolerant patience plus his skill as a director made the play the success it turned out to be. CAST Newt Cooper . . . . . .
