Jlanaa, fbuifq, Swaice HAVE NOT BEEN RATIONED A N Rationing is a war activity of the people, by the people, and for the peoplefi It is Democracy's supreme effort to limit itself in certain commodities of lesser importance, thereby enhancing its living in other things to a greater degree of freedom. By con- trolling prices and limiting sales, inflation is prevented, our morale is maintained, and the spirit of America uplifted. There is no rationing of theiessential things of life. Educa- tional opportunities are abundant everywhereg religious freedom is enhanced more than ever beforeg things of the spirit are en- riched, while things of the flesh are limited. There is no ration- ing of Honor, Duty, or Service. Many vacant chairs in Middletown High School are a con- stant testimony that there has gone from us a great host of young men and women to defend those things that we love dearly. We are proud of the many members of our school who have felt this call to Duty and have donned the uniform of our country. In loving memory of their noble service and the sacrifices they are making for us, we dedicate this 194-4 edition of the Optimist to them, with a prayer that the war may soon be over and that they may all return home safely. it ,gv ... ..fN.....t...T......- -' N F NO ACULT . si gn , , I f..

I39l ivrsoN WH ITESEL W RA Y enior Class Prophecy As the weekly meeting of the major staff of the '4Alumni News opened, Editor Jim Jones paced the floor. MI tell youf' he glared at circulation manager, Don Stevens, 'awe can't cut our paper any more and still charge the same price. Paper shortage or no paper shortage, it canlt be donef' uBut we're still rationed on paperf' re- turned Stevens. We,ve got to cut down some place. 6'Leave Achberger's articles out,', re- marked Jean Smith sarcastically. 'GThat would be an improvementf' Well, what about you and Patty Fisher and Elizabeth Torok? Your articles are not more ess.ential than minef, retorted Betty. 'LLet,s stop the clowning. Polleys, Rey- nolds, Jeffrey, Turner, and Blackmore are up here from the printing room, re- minded Jones, Hand they can't afford to waste time. The problem is to cut the size of the paper some way. We could omit some of Tranter,s photographs, or cut Mit- soffis sport column, but the people wouldn't like itf' ML Jones, you're wanted on the phonef, called Barbara Adrion, Jones's private sec- retary. O. K.,,' grumbled Jones. L'Will you typists, Miss Rager and Miss Combs, quiet down a little while I talk? Thanks. Miss Coe, would you and Miss Highley mind getting back to your filing? I think Hassel- bach could work a little better if you did. Yes? Oh, hello, Peggy. Should I get groceries? Stop at Reedy's and ask Tom Croake for your order? All right. But Pm not stopping at Pigmanis, even if they are having a special on ham. You know Jim and I haven't spoken since we had that argument in '43 about whether steak was eight or nine points per pound. That law- suit was expensive, and so was Jim Barnes, the lawyer. I can't afford another fight like that. Oh, all right, I'll go, but I hope Marvin Butts waits on me. What,s that? You mean I have to play bridge to- night? With whom? The Bill Henrys, Juanita and Tom Class, and the George Hagens. The cook's gone and you burned your finger? You'd better call Glen Ham- lin and let him send someone from the employment agency. 1,11 see you soon. Bye, honey. 4'Now back to work. McComas, as assist- ant editor, you should have some good ideas. 'gl think we should cut Henrietta How- ard's PERSONALS or omit Marjorie Neider- auer's CoNcREss1oNAL REPORTS. People never read government news anyway. I disagreef, spoke up T. Day, general assistant assistant. GI think we'd be wise to cut the adsf, '6Suppose we take a look at an edition and see what can be done. Tommy, how about bringing up tonight's edition ? Tom McGraw Jr. hurried out, soon re- turning with a paper just off the press. Thanks,,' smiled Jones. Say, how's your father's stockyard doing? Okay, It smells just as good as ever, grinned the youngster. Dad says he knew he'd make the world notice him some day. 'tHe surely has with that smelly place. Well, now let's have a look at that paper. 12401 ALUMNI NEWS S D B I .ET Y Phone 2-8237 JANE ANN KEMP Nurses Alumni Meets The Nurses Alumni met at Mary Mitchell's Tea Room.

Tips on Politics Thinking about the presidential candidate you'll elect in '56? Yes, we know that Roosevelt nearly held out for four terms, but that's no reason Mr. Bryan can do the same. It's rumored that Big Dave Mc- Cullough will edge out Mr. Bryan. Likely members of Congress are Bill Lakoff, Don Tutt, and Jack Cum- mings fbetter known to his loyal supporters as Jitter J. Also it is thought that there will be a shake up in Ohio politics with Art Eliopou- los coming out on top in the race for governor. New York Experimental Lab Explodes An explosion of undetermined origin damaged the Biedenbender Experimental Laboratory. Lois Pier- son, who was working with lab technician Phyllis Wells, and Oliver Bigby, who was experimenting with glycerine, escaped unhurt.

Mr. Laricchuita was touring the Armco plant with plant superintendent Dick Shade. CContinued on Page Ninety-eightj ei ik Broken-hearted at a G. R. dance?

Miss Eldridge THE MIDDLETONIAN Nliddlctonian assignments posted in HU. Does that sign appearing on thc bulletin board every second Friday Wt mean anything to you? To most students the Nliddletonian is our school paper that just appearsi' every other Thursday. Unly a few know just how much work must be done for each issue. l,et's take a look behind the scenes. First of all, Vera Collins makes out the assignmcnt shm-I and posts it for all news and feature writers to see. These minor staff members hurry about intcr- viewing people and getting new slants on school affairs. They write up their news and turn it in by the following Wednesday. These articles are chegked over by Miss Eldridge, the Middlctonian ad- viscr. and Vera, and are then given tothe typists, Peggy Henry and lflorcnce liager. to be madc ready for the printer. Heads must he written for every article before they are sent in. The material is taken to the Naegele-Auer Printing Company Friday evening. Then on Tues- day Vera. as editor, and Helen Louise Taylor, as assistant editor. and Chris Nlitsoff, as sports editor. proof read the galleys, making final corrections in grammar and punctuation. Tuesday night the paper is set up as it should be when it is published and is printed Vlfednesday. The dummy proof is proof read Wednesday evening. and the finished paper is ready for distribution Thursday. The minor staff is divided into news reporters, feature writers, advertising and circulation agents. Among the columns appearing each issue are The lfadsf' IVl. H. S. Cad-Aboutsf' Mail Box, and g'Wit's l'lnd.,' Thi- major and minor staffs have been able to keep the paper up to the strict requirements of the National Scholastic Press Association, thus proving the lVliddletonian's high ranking when compared with other school papers.

There are always favorable comments given our hand whenever they perform at the football and basketball games. It has become a tradition each year at the lVliddletown-Hamilton game for the hands of the two sehools to unite and play Wfhe Star Spangled Bannerv on the fit-I:I. This year at the hig game the band sent up two large balloons which traveled 150 miles and hoth landed in the same county in West Virginia. Thi- versatility of this unit is evidenced hy the skillful eomhination of the dit'- ferent seetions. in their interpretation of each eomposition. Nr. Herman J. Copp, the direntor of this group, is desirous of raising hand musiv- to the highest level of appreeiation, and from the growing numher of students in the hand and the interest displayed hy musie lovers wherever they go, his effort has not lzeen lll vain. i 63 l glib 52, KW' 'xg Q Q W-A-f .. suflii F .Wig . .

The part of Mary Todd, who drove him onward when he wished to be left in quiet and mediocrity, is treated more kindly than usual, yet with nothing lacking in thx- possibilities of her ambition and temper. The influence of Lincoln's friends, the effect of the rabid abolitionist fervor of his junior assistant, Herndon, the pathos of an old colored victim of am- nesia who was employed in Lincoln' early law office, all point to the influences that shaped his later life as emancipator. His indifference, his slowness to show that he was really working on a problem. his ability to bring quick and dramatic results, his power, once stirred, over individuals and crowds, his quaint humor, all are brought to life in this melo- dramatic struggle against the forces of destiny. Belmont Dewis drawling Lincoln land his wigl D, Jeanie Shirey's tempestous Mary Todd, Leo Herman's old lawyer. Eddy Howard's pathetic old man's part, John Minton's furious Herndon, Eugene Neel's :uave Ninon Edwards, Janice Wolfe's comedy, the tender romance of Hob jones and Alice Leighton, with the hardworking support of the other characters and back stage crew. will long be remembered. E681 i SOPHOMORE CLASS PLAY 'GTHE VERY LIGHT BRIGADL-:U was the sophomore choice of a class play. Peggy Richardson believed in action, not words merely. She became convinced that she must do something to help win the war, in fact, she had the whole town working. Peggy,s adoring mother was an easy recruit. She sat on top of the woodshed at certain hours of the day learning to be an airplane spotter until she fell offthe rooi Peggy took upon herself the duty of writing to three service men to keep up their morale. Then trouble really started. For how would she have known the three recruits would make a visit to her home at the same time to claim her as their wife-to-be! Among other events, Peggy organized a Girls' Brigade which stampeded into the city utilities and shut them off causing the town to have a panic. Because of all this, Peggy was put into jail. These things were no joke to Bruce, Peggy's father, who demanded a stop to all of these things, but the town realized how valuable Peggy's ideas were. Representatives from two national magazines came to Peggy to make her a national figure. Then Spike Tanner, the home town boy, joined the Army and became Peggy's No. 1 hero and her prom- ised-to-be. l69l JUNIOR CLASS PLAY The class of i-L5 chose for its annual play L'Y0u Can't Take It With You. The plot of this riotous comedy concerns the happenings in the Sycamore family and Alice Sycamore. who finds herself in love with Tony Kirby, the son of her very wealthy hoss. She invites the Kirbys to dinner and instructs her family to try to appear normal so that the guests will be impressed. Tony brings his family a night too soon so that they may Come to know the SYCHIHOFPS as they really areg and, as a result of their visit, the Kirbys spend the night in jail. ln the third act Grandpa Vanderhof, in his easy going way, convinces Mr. Kirby that his mode of life is not what he really wantsg and, in this way, Grandpa saves thc day for Tony and Alice. gent phrasing, and exceptional enunciation.

DRAMATICS The Dramatic Clubs and Speech Bureau played an important part in the extra-curricular activities ol' Middletown High School. Because so many were working after school, the students would some- times come at 7:30 and 3:00 A. Nl. in order that the 'gplay might go onf, ln addition to the class plays and programs for regular meetings of the clubs, each organiza- tion gave a chapel play this year. Socc and Buskin gave the first one, a riotous comedy, entitled Happy journey . Purple Masquers in honor of Boy Scout Week gave a more serious. one. This scene was laid in the South Pacific and showed what a wonderful job our nurses and doctors are do- ing lor the wounded soldiers. Last but not least, another comedy, 'gl ather's Yacalionv, was presented by Ye Merrie Jesters. What a vacation! The Speech Bureau constantly received calls from Federated Clubs, Sororilies, and Civic Urganiza- tions to present programs. and they always did a marvelous job. GlRl RESERVES Since everyone was so busy, Cirl Reserves met only once every two weeks this year instead of once a week. Although the meetings were fewer, we tried to keep up the same high standards and accom- plish the important things. Always ready to give their services, Girl Reserves cheerfully shivered on street corners in N0- vember to sell forget-me-nots., and in May they sold poppies for the American Legion. At Christmas time the girls could be seen stuffing pipes, handkerchiefs, cigarettes, and other nice things into little red stockings which were sent to wounded soldiers in Patterson Field Hospital. Some of the money to pay for their presents came from another G. R. service-taking seniors, orders for name cards. Social events were not lacking either. The seniors held their annual formal dance in Armco auditorium on January 22, and the juniors celebrated Valentine's Day with an informal dance at the Y on February 12. Other dances and parties were being planned as the book went to press, in addition to plans for joint activities with the Boys' Hi-Y. E721 The Middletown Hi-Y Clubs reached the greatest peak in their history during the past year. lVlem- bership soared to 167 boys, an increase of 7596 over 1942-433 acdvihes bomnned even in a greater proportion. Atthe beginning ofthe school year a footballleague proved to be the feauue anracdon. 'Porch Hi-Y, even though the smallest of the clubs, put a flashy team on the field and came through with Hhngcdom. The outstanding accomplishment of the year was the sponsoring of the Friday night dances at the Y, lfach club taking its turn checked coats and did other miscellaneous jobs. In this way they fattened their treasuries as they received a percentage of the gate receipts. Again following the trend of the season, the Hi-Y clubs held their annual basketball league. Coming from behind Croix overcame Miami in the last three games to win the title. Turning to the more domestic side of life, Triangle held a bake sale in early springg it is the gen- eral opinion that the boys ate more pastry than they sold. At the time this book was going to press, Hi-Y and Girl Reserves were planning a joint club at the HY. Whether this was a success or a failure is now history. I731 2 2 1 E l I HI-Y WORLD DAY OF PRAYER Once a year on the Friday six weeks before Easter, the World Day of Prayer is observed in many countries of the world. On that day we Americans are united in prayer with people in Europe, Asia, and Africa. As we come together, we think of the people gathering in other parts of the world to pray with us-some must gather secretly, others meet in churches that may at any moment be destroyed by bombs-but dangers cannot destroy their faith. Here in Middletown, members of Girl Reserves and Hi-Y began the World Day of Prayer on Thursday evening with about 4110 in attendance. Heverend Turner delivered the message using the theme: L'And the Lord wondered that there was no intercessorf' The projects presented by eleven students were as follows: Chris- tian literature for people in countries where preachers and teachers cannot go, directors in spiritual guidance for Indian students in U. S. Government Schools, aid for migratory workers, and support of Union Christian Colleges. The Boys' Glee Club sang two selections and for the offertory June Botner played a violin solo. The students, who so ably took charge of the program and presented projects this year, were Eddy Hodge, Dorothy Dafnos, Ruth Edson, Phyllis Huntzinger, Mildred Mayabb, Lois Baird, Jan Drake. Dick Brumley, Billy Gates, Kenneth Bliven, Cwenn Conn, Tom McGraw, Phyl- lis Wells. E741 C. A. P. C. Alitcr the dastardly attack on our naval hase in the l'acil'ic which involved Us in a harliarous struggle. the Navy had a hig job to do. They were assigned the task ol' guarding the sea lanes and coasts of the western hemi- sphcrc. To do this with such a comparatively small force would have hccn impossible. for a large and efficient flcct ol' air scouts was necessary. According to the old saying. Necessity is the mother of invention. the Civil Air Patrol was created. These memhcrs undcrwent intensive trainingg and. in an in- credibly short time. efficiently patrolled the coasts. This organization did such a magnificent job that they were allowed to train young men and women as fu- turc pilotsffthis group to he known as the Civil Air Patrol Cadets. The work was carried on in the high N schools throughout the nation. and any student was al- lowed to enroll. BONDS AND STAMPS livery student and teacher is proud of the sales record of bonds and stamps at M. H. S. Two drives were launched to boost our sales, one on December 7 when 355020.80 of stamps and bonds were pur- chased. and the other during the 4th War Loan when the sales were 310,153.70 Contests between the boys and girls enlivened these drives. In the first the boys were vic- torious, but the girls sought revenge and came out on top in the second drive. During the 4th War Loan drive those who purchased stamps each week or a bond were given colorful Victory V's to wear. Barbara Davies, Pat Dynes, Clarabel Grier, Cwenn Conn, Janet Roehll, Barbara lfrisby. Margie Stalls. and ,loy l.ampe under the direction of Miss Hoover, appeared in little red caps and aprons at the Variety Show to sell 338.75 worth of war stamps. These same girls were on hand at many of the basketball games to sell a bit of liberty to the spectators.

Boys, when you're out on the battlefield some- where, how' would you like to receive a letter from one of these men? lt would make you l feel pretty good, wouldn't it? You might get the letter from coach just as you were going into your first big battle, and it would remind you that you felt the same way just before the Hamilton or Springfield game. sl Yes, the coaches and their letters are real S Qs morale builders. The confidence of that boy on the front could grow just from the influ- ence of one letter from a man for whom he has the greatest respect and admiration.

The Middies started the game with a quick march deep into enemy territory for the first touchdown. The Middie defenses let up in the second and third quarters, however, and the wide-awake Warriors reeled off two quick touchdowns and a conversion. Halfback Homer '4Alky Sorrell led the Middies on a 55-yard drive in the fourth quarter charging through center for the score. Sorrell carried the ball on an end around play for the extra point that tied the game. Columbus Central Coach Elmo Lingrel's power-laden Middies ran over a weak Columbus Central team by the score of '17 to 0. The well-oiled lVliddie football machine ran up one of the highest scores in years, allowing the Pirates only one glimpse of their own 10-yard stripe. Halfback Homer Sorrell, the outstanding player of the evening, toted the pigskin for six touchdowns. Quarterback Jim Jones converted five out of seven points after touchdown.

The Wildcats took the initiative in the first minute of play and marched 57 yards down the field with Fullback Herbie King doing most of the ball carrying, scoring on a 21-yard run. The second Wildcat touchdown came on an intercepted pass with Halfbaclc Doug Rockhold galloping 65 yards behind perfect interference for six points. Although the lVliddies constantly threatened throughout the rest of the game, fumbles nullified their gains. Sfivers Ising everyone but the water boy, the Purple Vllarriors racked up 34- points while yielding none to Dayton Stivers. Scoring one touchdown in each of the first three quarters and two in the last. the Wliddies ran up 457 yards by rushing. Diniinutive Charlie Sullivan was the outstanding player of the game, reeling off touchdown runs of 51 and 77 yards. Tom Class, Pete Pratt, and Johnny Bryant each scored six points. Quarterback ,lim Jones converted four of the five points after touchdown. l82l Hamilton A great Middie line and backfielcl cashed in on the uhreaksn to smash Hamiltolfs Big Blue I9 to 0 in the Butler Bowl before 4,000 frenzied fans at Lincoln Field. It was the first victory in six years for the Purple Warriors over the county seat eleven. lVlidmlletown's first score came in the first quarter when End Jack Heck of the Middies lilocl-ae-tl a Hamilton punt behind the Blue goal with Guard Tom Blake catching it for the six points. lfullhack Tom Class made it 12 to 0 on a 16-yard run around left end that caught the Hamilton squad flat- fooled. Late in the third quarter a Hamilton pass was batted around by two players before Halfliack Johnny Bryant of the Nliddies gathered it in on his own 20 and scooted 79 yards to the Hamilton one lwfore stepping out of hounds. On the next play he scored standing up with Quarterback ,lim ,loncs converting the extra point to make it i9 to 0. The Jaycee Traveling Trophy was presented to Captain Art Hliopoulos after the game. Playing their last contest for the Middies were Art Eliopoulos, Dick Polleys, Dave McCullough, ,Iinnny Jones, Tom Class, and Allen '6Pete Pratt, who had been inducted into the Marines the day before the Butler Bowl game.

The hind inspired the team and the team in turn in- spired the cheering section. This year we had faur cheerleaders: Bill Apple, Pat Patterson. Clyde Combs, and Juanita Murphy, who led the cheering section through fair weather and foul. Representing our team was Homer Sorrell, the lVliddie quarterback, who played three games for Coach l.ingrel before he was inducted into the Army. Sorrell was an outstanding player who scored 61 points in his brief career. Then of course the managers were out there day after day, working as hard as their pals on the squad, doing all the dirty work. Bob Tranter, John Whitltxczk, and Dan Humphreys performed their duties well. The sandwich girls were all over Lincoln Field selling their rather limited supplies of hot dogs and ice cream. Phyllis Wells, Carmine Crist, Frances Henry, Jane Ann Kemp, Barbara Adrion. liosanne Lehmkuhl, Christine Bish, Bette Gallagher, lVlaybelle Hudson, l.ois Pierson, Ruth lidson. and Julia Scott were the hard-working girls this season. Lining the field, taking care of the score board, and cleaning up after each game were just a few duties of the Minute lVlen: Roland Gill, Don Perkins, Dave Click, Arthur Thatcher, and lVlaclyn Tobias, under the capable direction of Mr. Cingerich. Whoever saw a lVliddie football game without Seeing the huddle? Of course no one knows what is said in the middle of those eleven helmets, but it Seems to have something to do with bringing victory. This year the Lingrelites received the Junior Chamber of Commerce Traveling Trophy after beating Hamilton for the first time in six years. Now you have to figure out why Captain Eliopoulos looks so sad. 1943-1944 BASKETBALL RECORD FRANKLIN Opening their 194-3-44 cage season, the Middletown Middies trounced Franklin 26 to 14 before 1700 fans. Captain Chick Boxwell and Junior Will Smethers snatched the ball continually from under both baskets to take defensive honors. Forward George Hagen swished through 9 points for offensive honors. STIVERS Dayton Stivers proved to be a tough problem for the inexperienced lVliddie team to solve. In a thrilling overtime period, Purple Forward Paul Lansaw dipped in the winning basket, making the final score 37 to 35 in favor of the local boys. Guard Howard Schueller led the Middie scoring with 14 points while Forward Albert Clay- man scored 15 for Dayton. XENIA Coach Royner Greene's Nliddies trounced Xenia Central's Buccaneers 53 to 16 before 1200 spirited fans. Five individual stars working as one man built up momentum from the first basket and were never in danger thereafter. Guard Howard Guntheri' Schueller was again high point man with 12 points. Smethers and Forward Tom Turner had 10 and 3 points respectively.

WILL SMETHERS TOM TURNER PAUL LANSAW HAROLD McGRAW i891 VARSITY I IRQT ROW: Tom Turner, Will Smethers, Chick Boxwell, Howard Schueller, Paul Lansaw. SFCOND ROW: Coach Greene, Dick Lewis, Harold McGraw, George Hagen, Dan Humphreys MONROE Une of the largest crowds of the season packed the Middletown High School gym to capacity to see the Purple team stop the Monroe Hornetis win streak of 12 games with a 39 to 25 victory. The game was all Middletown after the first quarter ended 6 to 6. Boxwell con- tinually broke up passes and held high scoring Hornet Center Owen Kash to 2 points. The Mialdie captain pushed through 15 points. to lead the night's scoring. Will Snu herstohded 12. DAYTON ROOSEVELT Playing against the first stalling offense exhibited on the Middies' court, Coach lioyner Greene's boys pulled their fourth straight win out of the fire in the last few remaining minutes of the game. Middie Guard Schueller stepped into the contest with three minutes to go. Immediately he went into actiong first a pivot shotg a few seconds later a foul shotg and then a tip-in that iced the game 25 to 20. The last basket was made by Day- tonk Guard Chuck Gross During the major part of the game the Purple team was out-rebounded by the Teddks Jack Ikdy and 1Hck Aken They ganmd 10 and 9 ponns nwpecHvehffor best offensive honors. HAMILTON Playing one of its toughest games to date, Middletown High School gained victory number four in the Greater Ohio League, over the Big Blue 30 to 19 before 1600 fans. The Middies led all the way up to the third quarter. At that point Hamilton pulled up to within one foul shot of tying the contest, only to have the Purple Warriors again pull away. Guard Howard Schueller finished with 11 points, making 6 of them in the last period. Will Smethers was second with 9 points. i901 LEBANON Running up their highest score of the season, the Greenemen walloped Lebanon 62- 22 on the home court. The Purple regulars played only the first part of the second quarter, after that the subs took over. The outstanding achievement of the contest was Sophomore Don BoIton's 27 points. It was the first time in the history of the school that any basketball player had made that amount in a single game. LIMA SOUTH Lima Southis Warriors attempted the stalling offense for one half against the Mid- dies, but were beaten on their own court 16-13. Instead of trying to gain possession of the sphere, Middletown simply stood back and watched three Warriors pas it back and forth. The half time 2-0 score in favor of Middletown was made when Tom Turner took the opening tip-off and passed the ball to Smethers. Smethers pivoted from the right corner of the floor and sank two points. He dipped in 7 more for the evening. HUGHES Hughes High School of Cincinnati was completely outclassed 42 to 14 as Middletown won its 13th game in 14 starts. The Middies piled up 20 field goals, allowing Hughes only 4, they led 14 to 4 in the first period. At the time, the Hughes quintet was the leading team in the Cincinnati City League. Will Smethers was hitting with accuracy as he pitched in 10 points. Schueller connected for 8 and Captain Tom Scott of the Red team had 8. PORTSMOUTH Traveling to Portsmouth, Middletown High School escaped with a 44 to 38 win over the Trojans, making a clean sweep of the home and home series between the two rivals. Again playing poor defensive ball, Middletown stopped a last quarter rally that pulled Portsmouth to within 6 points of victory. Center Don Monk made 19 points for Portsmouth. Trailing Monk by 4 points, the Purple team was led by Schueller in the point- making division. Paul Lansaw was the only Middie who effectively stopped Monk -holding him to three fouls in the fourth quarter. Boxwell was ejected in the third quarter with four personal fouls. SPRINGFIELD The Greater Ohio League Championship was safely tucked away as Middletown High School conquered Springfield 37-16. Gaining revenge for their only defeat at Spring- fieId's hands earlier in the season, the Middies bottled up the Wildcat fast-break and held Doug Rockhold to 9 markers. In winning the championship for the second consecutive year the purple team chalked up eight wins and one loss-to Springfield. BoxwelI's long range passes were the highlight of the game. As in every other game of the season he was outstanding as a defensive player, gaining rebounds, blocking passes, and setting up baskets. Schueller pivoted in 14 points, while Smethers had 8. HAMILTON Three Purple players ended a brilliant campaign as the Middies downed Hamilton High 27 to 20. Playing on the Big Blue home court before 2500 fans, Captain Chick Boxwell, Guard Howard Schueller, and first string substitute George Hagen finished their last game of the regular season. Boxwell threw in 10 points for the night as well as starring in every other phase of the game. Schueller had 9 markers, running his total to 144 to become the leading scorer for Middletown this season. In ending the regular season, the Middies scored 622 points and limited the opposition to 384. E911 wsfisfasfisfaasixeeafwkaxf arfasxesexeirfiserfaxfixewerf T O U R N A M E N T Coach Royner C. Greene's scintillating Middies. wrote basketball history at Middle- town High School in the years 194-3-4-4. Not only throwing aside superstitions and jinxes that have plagued former Purple court teams, the Champions of the Ohio High School Class A Basketball Tournament brought four new records and four new trophies to M. H. S. The five starters on the greatest Middie basketball team to ever take the floor were Captain Dick Boxwell at center, Howard Schueller at guard, Junior Will Smethers at forward, Junior Tom Turner at guard, and Sophomore Paul Lansaw at forward. George Hagen, sixth man on the team, oftentimes shared duties with Lansaw. Harold McGraw, Bill Hannah, Don Bolton, and Charles Clickner formed the remainder of the ten players that played the tournament games. The new records established began when Don Bolton was sent in as sub against Lebanon and proceeded to sink 27 points for a new scoring mark. The other records came at the end of the season. First, Middletown ended with the best won-lost record of Middie teams, 24- to 1, second, the Middies advanced beyond the first game of the Regional, third, they took the State Championship. Trophies were awarded for winning the Dayton District Championship, winning the Greater Ohio League, and taking the State Class A Championship. The Johnny Miner traveling trophy was given to Middletown for as long as it can hold on to state honors. The Purple team walked through the Dayton District schedule with ease, con- quering Wilmington 39 to 14, Dayton Kiser 50 to 7, Dayton Stivers 40 to 17 and Troy in the finals 38 to 13. Then the two games for Regional honors came up. The winner would take the trip to Columbus with three other Regional champs. Middletown experienced a little difficulty but finally overcame Marietta 33 to 27, then in the nightcap unde- feated Cincinnati St. Xavier was downed 27 to 18. As their first opponent in the Capital City the Middies drew Martins Ferry, who had been conceded the championship since the Ohio tournaments began. The Ferrians had won 26 straight games, but by the cool-headed Middies they were treated as just another team and were ousted 38 to 34-. Martins Ferryis All State Center Alex Groza was held to five baskets by Boxwell but scored six points on fouls for 16 -points-the amount scored by the Middie cap- tain. Boxwell and Junior Will Smethers made 36 of the Purple team's 38 points. The final stumbling block to the crown,was Toledo Woodward, a tall rangy team that had bowled over all previous opponents. In one of the most thrilling overtime games ever witnessed in the state finals, the Middies emerged champion 50 to 4-7. Twice, with only seconds remaining, the Creenemen came from behind. The first time to tie the score in the fourth quarter and the second time to come out ahead in the overtime because of Schuelleris accurate shooting. As an ironic touch to the fact that no Middie player was selected on the all- state teams and only Boxwell and Smethers gained honorable mention, sports writers picked those two and Schueller on the first string All-Star five. iloifrikikrvkiirvfkfilrvifriirilrvfirik ikriirilrilrifriiriirikrvfrvfirilrilrik L 92 1 I , 2 5 I ,r f - fo Y z 1, Y fx.

Pitching for the Nine's was none other than that gal of wonder, Mitzi Slowbal1', Lukensg on the receiving end was Edith Jolliff, who is well known to all as Sunshine Jollifff' The base line held its own with Z. Revelos, L. Baird, N. Sites. These three have worked out a system en- tirely different from anything known to our baseball world. In right field was Marilyn Speed Cummings, ably supported by Catchem Neville in center and 20-20 Conover. Shor- ty Jewell really stopped those grounders at shortstop. With such an array of stars, it is no wonder that the Aeronca Nine came out on top. We believe we have some of the finest future baseball stars ever in Roy Brown, Clarence Clayton, and Wilfred Linkous. Chick Boxwell is making a name for himself as Ohio State Basketball coach, as is also Don Miller in his Y. M. C. A. coach- ing. Also at the Y are Tom Moore and Clyde Combs, swimming in- structors. Have you been down to the D. K. and W bowling alleys lately un- der the proprietorship of Frank Kaurich, pin boy, Dell Downs, man- ager, and Kenny Walton, pin boy? Itis good fun for that rainy day! City Commission Meets The members of the Better Busi- ness Bureau, Wilma Allen, Harold Rhoads, Evalee Abney, Joe Elam, Francis Fuller, Gerald Creech, Mil- lard Highley, Gladys Puckett, Jean Bailey, and Vernon Rogers, visited the regular meeting of the City Commission. Commissioners Paul Clark, Ray Mattingly, Chalmer Sex- ton, Joe Their, and Rollie Crowe were present. Two new policemen, Jerry Long and Ray Nicholas, were hired. Before this short business meeting was adjourned, Commission- er Crowe moved that a letter of ap- preciation be sent to ex-city man- ager Ulrich for his splendid work.

Whut's New In Hollywood Eileen James Johnny Botos, business manager at Smather's Theater, announced to- day that the premiere of Ezekiel's Adventures starring Olivia Milton and Herbert Banks was a tremen- dous success. This picture, based on Mary Roth- well's famous book, owes its great- ness to its co-producers, Dorothy Dafnos and Robert Stamper, and Di- rector Eddie Hodge. Marilyn Martin and Mary Davis also deserve a cheer for the fine costumes and makeup. vm E E Q ve E D U C A T I O N for a Better World in the Future E I.
