Football Homecoming This being the first football season the Indians also had their first Homecoming. The Indians first venture was highly successful with Daryle Tegeder as Homecoming manager. On the afternoon of October 13 the Homecoming celebration was officially opened, with an assembly in the gym. A few words was spoken by each football player and then a few skits were shown on the stage which gave a preview of the coming game with Arenzville. The evening included a game with Arenzville in which the Indians were successful, winning 24-7. After the game the Home Economics girls treated the football players to a light lunch. Everyone, then went to the Homecoming Dance in the gym with music by Jimmy Conlee. At 10:30 Betty-Heitbrink was crowned Queen of the Homecoming by Joe Newman. Her attendants were Shirley Edwards, Jacqueline Looman, Shirley Heitbripk, and Marilyn Mayes. The crown- bearer was Miss Judy Major. Compliments of “PRAIRIE FARMS DAIRY PRODUCTS PRAIRIE FARMS OF WESTERN ILL.” 24

Football The students of M. H. S. are happy to welcome 6-man football in our school. This is the first time in the history of the school that football has been played. About sixteen boys reported to Coach Savoie for the first practice. We are in the newly formed 2-C Conference. This first year proved to be a successful venture with a record of four wins and two losses. We, the Indians, won our first game of the season from Franklin by the score 26 to 18. The starting lineup was: Nortrup-left end, Walker-center, Tegeder-right end, Newman-halfback, Tony Simon-halfback, and Dick Simon-quarterback. This lineup was used through out the season. We then came back and won our first home game of the season beating Chander- ville 36 to 8. We didn't click against Routt on foreign soil and suffered our first lose of the year 16 to 6. To round out a successful Homecoming we Indians took a 24 to 7 decision from Arenzville. After leading Franklin the first half we came back cold after the intermission and couldn’t stop Big Bill Rawlings—Result 36 to 22 in Franklin's favor. The team then traveled to Chanderville for their last game of the season and bested the Comets 31 to 19. This marked the end of a successful season for the Indians with a four and two record which was good for a second place tie with Frank- lin in the 2-C Conference. The Indians were proud to have Daryle Nortrup placed on the 2-C Conference first All-Star Team, and Joe Newman and Daryle Tegeder on the second All-Star team. 26
