Yet others work so hard and long And still it coesn't show That they've cone anything at all- But they'll get there, too, we Imow. Still there are others who work along And though not in ea hurry : They always get thines done on time it's easy--they con't worry. Patience and willingness to work And the ambition to be someone Is what it takesfrom cay to day To earn your place in the sun.

Reed, treasurer. There were. so many of us that we were @ividsd into two home rooms with Miss Bottenfield in charge of the - §irls and Mr. England in-charge of the: boys. The annual Freshman weiner roast was held.at the home of a senior, Orpha Bivens, and lator a Kid party was riven for the Freshman as their initiation.

We started our Sophomore year with our class still divided with Bill Stoutenborough as president,Warren Hast- { ings, vice-president, Richard Irvin, secretary, and Robert Reed, treasurer. Before.the -year was over we lost five set girls and three boys and gained two new members in our class.

Here are the results, some of us have bright fu� tures, others not so bright. My crystal is humming, I hear a buzzing. Ah yes, now I see wings, airplanes, Flying these are Jim Allsup and Paul Osborne. Both of these boys are now quite famous a- viators. Mr. Osborne is especially noted for his daring acts in World War No. 2. And talking about daring acts! a black-haired girl is entering the picture, Yes, Doris Gor- dy has become the first woman test pilot. What's this, a book? Pictures by Lawrence Weikle! daring shots for the first time exposed to the public, taken while he was an airiel photographer on the x29! What's this, the crystal is becoming a blur, I can't see anything! Something seems to be revolving at a rapid pace. it's slowing down. Why it's a girl on skates, You can see it plainly now. It's the Ice Capades of 1952 starring Norma Burks, who has recently been crowned Queen of the Ice over Sonja Heinie, In contrast with this col- orful affair, I see a small Skating rink. Who's this proud looking gent? Don't tell’me, it's Russell Atkins. Look at that fellow go zooming down the floor. Looks like Light- ning Leach. Yes, it's he all right. He and Russell are still hanging around the Clinton Skating rink. I see a dark cloud looming down over my crystal ball. I sée disease running rampant in an army camo in Austra- lia. Soldiers are dying. Along side the American flag is the Red Cross flag. I éan see three nurses in white uni- forms administering aid. Their faces are familiar. No won- dex, ite Phyllis Thomas, .Bettie Riley and Kathleen Nelson the modern Florence Nightingales , - They seem to be talke- ing about their two pals left at home, I can see the flash back in their minds to the States where Netha Perry is do- ing her bit for the country as,.an army. hostess, Netha is going to be married as soon as this terrible war is over, Iona Wilkey is head of the Health Department for Civilian Defense, The scene is rapidly changing. I -see water, boats, There's a little fellow. Looks like Calvin Correll, « It is! He seems to be a crew member of an oil tanker on the Atlantic. There's another ship. We go into the radio room, and there I sec Carl Dial as chief operator. Welre.out on deck now. Wonder who that man getting ready to take. off in that airplane is? Hets got a camera With him. Blonde Rew: eR et +) oh Troyan hair, medium height, camera all make him seem very famil- iar. Why it's Jack Kirby. He's an ace photographer for the navy now. We switch back to the United States. There's a large ||. . crowd following a dark haired, handsome man in navy wuni-: °° || form. I see autograph hunters, photographers all clammer- ing for his attention. Who is this man? He's turning his face toward me. Why it's Wayne Bennett! He's as famous in the navy as MacArthur is in the army right now. One of those photographers looke familiar, too. There's Elmer Garren, He's the ace photographer for the New York Times. What's Bill Rohrscheib, the famous cartoonist doing here? Well, maybe, he's gonna do a cartoon of the great Bennett. Now my crystal is taking me to the Hall of Fame. Law- rence. Garren has just received the coveted position of Tarzan. He replaces Johnny Weismueller. My crystal shows that he has had much experience at being Tarzan, since he started jumping from tree to tree, when but a boy in Grade School. ae In Hollywood, I see anew man taking the nation by storm. Hets No. I man of the movie.box office poll. He's mowed down by photographers and autographers, We know this Clark Gable as Elmer James, who first got his avery in the all star production of Spring Fever , The scene is changing. I see drums, drums, and more drums. In the midst is Bill Smart, eee known as King of the Drums . The scene switches to Chicago at the Trianon, where performing I see a sign Bob Gillen and his Bob Cats . His saxophone playing has won him a seat in the Hall of Fame. His featured vocalist is none other than that super blues singer, Norma Braden. It seems that her warbling in High School has led her to a new field of work. Sitting over in that corner of the hall is Donald Massey-- National Wheat King of 1952 . Donald Crutcher has the honored position of being the new president of Safety Drivers of 1952 organization. Now my crystal is taking me across country to Iowa, where I see a large farm, Andrew Tucknott owns this farm and, the crystal is getting dark. I see a forboding of e- vil. If you don't watch out, you will loge this farm. Be- ware of a red-haired man, i Now my crystal is taking me to ®Bome colleges. Here ' the big news is that the University of Illinois basketball 1D em team has won the Big 10 conference. The coach is none othe er than the star of the M. C. H. S. basketball team, ‘Bob Reed. Two new faces hit the lime light of football fame, John Zelhart is the football star of Northwestern and Dick Irvin is the captain of NotresDame's football squad, These two teams are scheduled to meet soon. It's strange. that these two boys should be battling against each other. Also at Notre Dame, I see a new college professor, He came from a small school in Tllinois. The man is Warren Hastings. Now the scene is turning to the topsy-turvy world of business. Here I find that the well known business wmana- ger of erica's leading steel corporation to be none oth- er than iBill Stoutenborough. I see a dark-haired girl be- ing sent to Washington. This girl is Charlene Wikoff. Your business course has done you much good. I see one of the favorites of M. C. H. 8. working for the PF, B, I.. However, this job will last only until the end of the war. Then, Tirrell Stoutenborough, you will be- come a high school commerce teacher, I see a girl traveling, traveling. She never scems to get her fill of it. The girl has black hadp, is .smali,rher race is becoming clearer, Yes, it's Roberta Sheets. I must warn you Roberta, do not take any trips until 1955, or.a serious accident will befall you, Again I sec Water, Water. There's a person in a bath- ing suit. He's diving off into the Atlentic ocean. The crowd watching him say he's crazy, that it cantt be done. What's this person going to do? It scems his intent‘ons are to be the first man to ever attempt to swim across the Atlantic Ocean. My crystal says that he will succeed. This daring man is Prank Hockaday. Now I see an author. She's getting much praise, Cri- tics are raving about her. Her new book Life at M. ¢C: H. 5. has made Maroa High School immortal.

C. H. 8. To all the boys and the fans this goal was accomplished. Although we shared a Co- Championship, we still were undefeated in the Conference, A good deal of the credit goes to Coach Visuer,’ The boys worked hard with their new coach, Woodrow Visuer, it was through the cooperation and determination on both parts that the team was able to leave a good record for the sea- sone Our first game of the season was played on Blue Mound's field, We defeated Blue Mound in this game 54-0, but it lost us the services of Pat Bennett, one of the best quarter-backs Maroa has ever had. It was in this game that Pat got his collar bone broken and was out for the rest of the season, Our next game was with Shelbyville, and it was also played at Shelbyville, Coach Viseur moved Jim Allsup from the line to quarter back and Bob Gillen to end. This prov- ed to be a good move, and these boys played these posi- tions for the rest of the season. We suffered our only de- feat in this game, but it also showed that the team didn't know when they were licked. Jim Allsup played one of the best games of his carecr, and came up with the best tacke ling seen all scéason. Bob Recd, our Captain, showed he really could take it, when after Jim and Goose wore tak- en out of the game, Bob carricd the ball on early every play. The gun ended the game with Maroa onlt a few feet from the goal. The final score was Shelbyville, 14, Maroa, re e : Our next game was with Stonington, and this game was played at home, We defecate Stonington 38 to 7. The line played well in this game. Goosc ! played his usual bril- liant game in the back-ficld and got good blocking from Z4c0lhart and Young. Rohrschcib got many tacklcs in the Line. : The next game was with Illiopolis. and was probably the hardest game of the season, This game was played a- way and was played at night. liliopolis did not. secre uns til the third quartur but failed to make the oxtra point. Maroa got it's touchdown late in the fourth quarter ona run by Garren, Allsup plunged over for the winning point. The score ended, Maroa, 7, ALLLOPOLIS, by Our next game with Assumption again brought out the courage of the team. Trailing 13-0 at the half, the team I9ha Troyan came back and scored twenty one points while holding As- sumption to one touchdown. This game kept Maroa'ts long string of homecoming victories alive. Our next game with LeRoy was disappointing. The team suffered their first let down. The blocking and tackling was under par and we barely squeezed out a 7 to O victory. Maroa pushed the ball within scoring distance many times but did not have that extra something to put it over. We played our bitter rivals at Lovington the next game, and they were all set to bump us off , but we had our minds set on a’Championship and as a result we won by a score of 38 to 14. The team as a whole played their best ball of the season. The whole line was blocking and tack- ling, and the backs were running for every inch. Goose played another excellent game and got away for many long runs. Bob Reed made two touchdowns that were called back and Bob Gillen played well at end. Everything was now set for the Championship game thé following Friday with Bethany who was also undefeated. When Friday came, the entire field was under water. After calling Bethany,they said they would not set another date. After many Conference meetings, the Coaches and Principals could not agree on a date so they finally decided not to award a trophy to either school, but to the players and to all the fan's we still feel as though we won our third consecutive Championship. We ended the season with 7 vic- tories against 1.defeat and scored 152 points while hold- ing our opponents to 50. While eight seniors graduate this year there are e- nough capable reserves for a winning team next year, and maybe they can bring a fourth Championship to M. C. H. S.

Troyan 1941-42 BASKETBALL SEASON At the start of the !41-'42 basket ball season, Coach Visuer had some 35 boys to work with including nine vetu erans. The whole first team was back this year and much was expected of them and as a result we had one of the most successfull seasons in the bistory of Ms 6, Hy Gy, We had the honor of winning two trophies for the school this year, one was winning our own blind tourney and the other was capturing the county tourney, which was the high-light of the season, We defeated Hammond in the final of our own tourney to capture first, In our first game of the county we played Blue Mound and defeated them 52-22 with our second team playing half the game, Our next game was with the last school Niantic, and we gained a 35-32 victory.
