GRIDIRQN MEMORIES Coacb ....... Paul R. Abele Captain. . .Charles Bowman Manager ....... jack Butler M. H. S.-6 .... Alumni-7 .... Bands blared, the crowd cheered! fwho said anything about a crowd at this game, a mere handful, I'd sayj First game jitters and a green team marked the first defeat for M. H. S. We scored early in the first quarter and held the lead till the last minute when the old grads went to the air for a touchdown. Rumgay passed to Clark who scored for M. H. S. M. H. S.-0 .... Lewistown-26 .... Well, we had a cheering section at this game, anyway, but we weren't proud of then. Guess who? ? Although outweighed, the Red Raiders, gave Lewistown a touch of the old fight. M. H. S.-27 .... Bolivar-0 .... Are we good? Well, I guess! ! A touchdown in every quarter. Beal featured the attack. fAsk Arlene.j M. H. S.-0 .... Shade Township-12 .... Sob! Sob! Pst! Pst! Don't tell anybody, but this was really written by a sob sister. fAnonymousj You'd sob, too, if you had lost a crack at the coun- ty championship simply by a bound of the ball from the 13 to 53 yard line. With a patched up team, the Red Raiders did a good job of it. M. H. S.-14 .... Confluence-0 .... And hence we have the latest style in football pants! ! You should have our team streak down the field in the snazzy new football pants. Red, and silk, too! M. H. S.-15 .... Huntingdon-21 .... It was a hard fight, mom. We didn't win it! The Hun- tingdon eleven out-fought our team in every quarter. The first touchdown was scored by Stafford. In the last quarter Beal intercepted a pass for the final touchdown. M. H. S.-0 .... Boswell-0 .... Achoo! Achoo! No, we don't have colds, it's the dust. Playing at the Dust Bowl at Boswell, M. H. S. held the favored Boswell to a 0-0 deadlock for the third consecutive year. fAhem!j The gang started by intercepting passes on the goal line and running them back to the infield. M. H. S.-6 .... West Newton-0 .... You Try Somebody Newi' fthey didj. This was the first game with West Newton, and what's more, they want to play again next year. M. H. S. met its equal but showed up well in the tight pinches. M. H. S.-6 .... Fort Hill-28 .... Ah! Revenge is sweet! and Fort Hill got its revenge for the 13-0 set-back last year. Heavy snowfall made it almost impossible to play under the lights. Of course, in all these games, Chin Bowman did his darndest along the line of trying to reason with the referee. M. H. S.--12 .... Somerset-6 .... The band blew, pivoted, and wheeled. Spectators booed, cheered, hissed, and cheered. Some of them even kissed, fdidn't they Park?j We had to win this game and did by gummy! With the nifty job of blocking done by Miller, we couldn't have lost. Again I say- It still takes eleven men to make a team. QAsk Coach Abele-even the waterboys are a necessity., -53-

LIBRARIANS Who is it that can dust, lind the correct refer- ence books, put them back in place and find them again? To whom do bewildered students turn for advice on how to find illusive material to make various reports? Why to the librarians! Theirs is the job of aiding all who came to the library for help. They enjoy their position and love to make everyone keep still. That is, they get everyone quiet except the lovely freshman and mighty sen- iors and a few in-betweens who don't seem to understand English. These librarians are not per- fect themselves for they are often accused of taking books belonging to all classes out of the library at any time they please. But when a meek freshman asks for a senior book or a sage senior asks for a freshman book they are greeted with NO! in capi- tal letters. Still, if it weren't for the librarians, the whole high schoolj well, almost the whole high schoolj would be at a loss as to where to find ref- erence material. For the librarians really know their business, and, on the whole, they have done a good job of keeping that meetin'-place-during- school-hours in order. n-.-.-q--- Mathematical members of Math Club- oliicers. Safety First. Yea! Team! Rah! Rah! Rah! Senior librarians. -37- ........
