FRESHMAN FROLIC The lflreshman, in the height of their glory, entered the halls of M.H.S. to start their career. But their high spirits soon deflated when they were greeted by the forbidding laces of the Seniors. Feathers and pie flew at initiation and Kangaroo Court. For weeks the Frosh looked as if they'd had an overdose of sunburn. Things calmed down under the able guidance of Miss Yearous, sponsor, and -e, will A-hu 'Z M class officers: Billy Banish, presidentg Marvene Shidler, vice-presidentg Ronnie Kechtor, secre- tary, and Bonnie Pearson, treasurer. With a hot dog sale, a moving picture, Blondie Knows Best , and a very successful party for the Seniors, the Freshman proved their ability to enter enthusiastically into school activities. R 16

Working around those lettermen the Oilers soon developed into a small but fast and smooth working team. To prove this they opened the season with a six to nothing win over the unusually large Wheatland eleven. The following week they had things their own way when they romped over Upton on the home field. Variety was added when early in October, the Casper B squad journeyed to Midwest and battled for four quarters in a blinding snowstorm driven by a stiif wind. The Colts went home defeated. The next game proved somewhat difficult as the Buffalo Bison furnished competition with their powerful line, however, the Oilers held together and came from behind in the last quarter to win by five points. Then the oil field eleven buckled down to thoroughly trounce Sundance. Midway through the season with no defeats, the red and white tackled the Newcastle Dogies . They, too, fell before the grit and drive of the mighty 0ilers . For the first time in several years the Bays' coached team played Lusk high school and continued their winning streak by rolling over the Bobcats with a large score. Morale was high as the season neared an end with no defeats. The 'tOile1's con- fidently lined up against the Douglas Bearcats , but, after battling hard all the way, they admitted defeat by a one point margin. Smarting under the only defeat of the year, and playing one of the best games of the season, the Midwest Oilers finally overcame an unorthodox defense, late in the traditional Armistice Day game with Gillette, and the Camels conceded the game. This game gave Midwest their second straight Powder River District Championship and also saw Seniors Verne Hansen, Everett Chaflin, George Slaughterbeck, Cliff Hendryx, Dick Moore, and Jack Hahn carry the ball for the last time. At an assembly a few weeks later, Jack Hahn, speedy quarterback, and three- year letterman was awarded the Casper Tribune-Herald medal for copping All-State honors. Dick Moore, senior half-back, a four-year man, was given honorable mention.
