'Tis called farewell, Dear Alma Mat- er, we, the class of '31, leave Thee slowly with measured tread, and with sweet memories of those happy, joy- filled days in M. H. S. We have been taught to cherish truth and right, as the essence of progress, and have been prepared to face the great unknown future. We hope that, in after years, as we thumb the pages of this, our last work, which has indeed been a plea- sure, that zephyrs of the noble spirit of the School will breathe to us a name adorned with virtue worthy of the ideals inspired within us. -lane E.

Art was a big help on our football team and we found him to be a real actor when he became the admirable husband in Tea for Tom. Perhaps the lovable wife had a lot to do with that.

With that end in view the club read Booth Tarkingtons Seventeen according to the way, the theme of the book is- lust like a girl. Another means of proving the mystery of things was found through the game, Frog in the Pond. How did the club learn that celerity of thought must accompany agility of fact? Through the use of such games as Initial Race and Eraser Tag. It has been fun to find even greater fun in the study of our neighbors, the birds and flowers, when Spring comes round again this year.

This year we were fortunate in having organized cheer leaders. These four were chosen from a group of volunteers who were coached under the direction of Miss Helen Dickert. They have been willing workers and have not failed to lead yells which inspired the teams to better work. fl X THE NAUTILUS BOYS' VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM Coach Earl Thomas Rufus Iamison William Maurer Frederick Hartman Edward Reeder Leroy Minnick Cleo Reed Miller Shoemaker Charlton Dieffenderfer Theron Dersham Charles Hemenway William Klingman At the first call to practice six veterans responded as varsity candidates. Sever- al others were also whipped into varsity calibre before the season drew to a close. Mifflinburg High School was again enrolled as a member of the Susquehanna Bask- et Ball League: composed of Lewisburg, Northumberland, Selinsgrove, Danville, Trevorton, Locust Gap and Mifflinburg. Danville High carried off the League Championship with Lewisburg placed second and Mifflinburg third. Games M. H. S. 35 McAlisterville 19 McAlisterville, after playing outdoor basketball all Fall, invaded our gym but were subdued as a result of a great second half rally. M. H. S. 36 McClure 25 After enjoying a lead of only one point at half time, we came back to win 36 to 25. M. H. S. 33 Middleburg 31 Overconfidence almost cost us this game. We were extended to the utmost but captured the game 33 to 31. 85 THE NA UTILUS M. H. S. 45 Selinsgrove 30 Our first league game. We outclass them and win decisively. M. H. S. 23 Locust Gap 21 Our first game abroad. The boys functioned smoothly and won only after play- ing heads-up basketball at all times. QOnly league team to defeat Locust Gap on their floor.l M. H. S. 31 East Penns Valley 6 After a slow start, we got our attack steamed up and won without much trouble. M. H. S. 29 Danville 45 Danville came to town with a clean record and departed with the record intact. All credit to the future champions. M. H. S. 17 Lewisburg 51 What happened! Loss of two regulars seemed to demoralize squad and we were dealt an overwhelming setback. M. H. S. 24 Northumberland 10 Norry was decisively defeated on their own floor. Everybody went at top speed. M. H. S. 33 Trevorton 21 The coal region bovs came and saw but did not conquer. At half time we en- joyed a four point lead, but during the second half we increased the lead to 12 points. M. H. S. 17 Selinsgrove 18 A hard game to lose. Squad fights hard and lose the game only after Selinsgrove caged several long shots in the waning moments. M. H. S. 14 Middleburg 26 Playing under adverse floor conditions the locals were handicaoped. During the first half we were trailing by twelve points, but during the second half we out scored our opponents. M. H. S. 40 Locust Gap 36 Trailing at half time 18 to 19, the locals came back and finally win 40 to 36. Hardest fought victory to date. M. H. S. 16 Danville 34 A reverse whichshould not have been suffered. Danville out fought us in the second half. Only one point difference at half time. M. H. S. 15 Lewisburg 33 Entire squad played against rivals, but could not quite match their efforts. M. H. S. 25 Northumberland 23 Norry gave us a scare on our own floor, but we were able to overtake them in the second half. M. H. S. 24 B. V. Q. 22 The B. V. Q. fought hard and were forced to bow before the superior condi- tion of the M. H. S. squad, but only after a bitter struggle. Victory gave us first leg on city championship. 86 THE NAUTILUS M. H. S. '11 East Penns Valley 21 Millheim was again defeated. This time on their own floor. Regulars were taken out, but reserves continued the onslaught. M. H. S. 31 Lewisburg Troop G V. 12 Lewisburg Troop fell an easy prey to our representatives. Everybody went at top speed. M. H. S. 21 B. V. Q. 26 This time experience of the town players proved too great a handicap. Battle hard fought but reverse was unavoidable. Individual Players SHOEMAKER '31, fCapt.l A reliable forward who could always be depended upon to put forth the 100 per cent, effort. A real credit to the squad and a dead shot near the hoop. DERSHAM, 31. The most improved man on the squad from the previous sea'- son. One of the mainstays as a defense man, Teery occasionally broke into the scoring ranks as well. KLINGMAN, '3l. Our long shot artist. Bill's greatest asset was his keen eye at distance shooting. REED, '3l. Leading scorer of the squad. Cleo possessed all qualifications of a star and when his spirits moved right, his services were of undeniable value. IVIAURER, '3l. With no previous experience, Bill joined the squad during the last few weelfs of the season and developed rapidly. With Bill in the game oppon- ents had great difficulty in following up shots. HEMENVVAY, '32. Always a scoring threat, Charlie, with his potential abil- ity leads us to expect great results from next years squad. DIEFFENDERFER, '32. A good shot who has been inclined to be a trifle er- ratic. We predict that he will settle down and be a backbone of the next court team to represent M. H. S. HARTMAN, '32. lust a substitute until the last couple games when he suddenly burst into the limelight. Now we expect great things of Ted in his final year. IAMISON, '32. Dependable-that's Iamie. When his mates falter, he keeps plugging away and seems to stand above the rest. More will be heard from him. MINNICK, '32. lf the game lacks spirit, in goes 'AChief and 'Presto'-action develops at once. He is almost certain to carve a nitch in the Hall of Fame before graduation. REEDER, '34. Only a Freshman, but one of our leaders for Mau' that. With proper guidance Ed should develop into a most worthy floor artist. 87 f THE NAUTILUS +L, . .

H. S. 25 Beaver Vocational 13 Our girls played their first game of the season on a strange floor, and won! Good beginning. M. H. S. 41 McClure ll This game proved onesided with our girls outclassing McClure. Klingman and Zimmerman scored while Wolfe and W. Klose did fine defensive work. V, M. H.

The Alumni girls were disappointed. 88 THE NA UTILUS M. H. S. 31 Beaver Vocational 8 Another onesided game. Zimmerman, Kempcl, Wolfe and Klose featured, while Shaffer also played well. M 1-if s. is Locust Gap 15 Victory again! Wolfe's and W. K1ose's guarding enabled us to capture the honors. IVI. H. S. 15 Sunbury 28 We met with our first defeat of the season. Our girls played hard but could not cope with the Sunbury girls. M. H. S. 31 Millheim 17 At the start of this fray the local girls got out in front by a comfortable margin and stayed there. Zimmerman was leading scorer. M. H. S. 10 Lewisburg 24 Our greatest rivals defeated us even though we did put up a hard fight. M. H. S. 20 Northumberland 41 Norry expected victory and they got it. The girls fought hard but what could they do against Gemberling and Fenton? M. H. S. 37 Trevorton 20 The visitors displayed a good brand of basketball but were outclassed by our girls. M. H. S. 24 Middleburg 36 Handicapped by a strange and small floor, our team was defeated. Nl. H. S. 23 Locust Gap 29 The fast playing of our opponents caused us to be defeated on our own floor. M. H. S. 10 Lewisburg 27 In the beginning our girls kept up with the Lewisburgers, but we fell down dur- ing the second' half. M. H. S. 21 Northumberland 35 At the end of the first quarter our girls led, 7-9, but after that the Norry ' sex- tctte could not be stopped. Zimmerman was high scorer for the locals. M. H. S. 24 Millheim 19 We closed the season by journeying to Millheim and returning with a victory The old saying, good beginning, poor ending, does not always ring true. 89 THE NA UTILUS Individual Players ZIMMERMAN, '31, As captain and player, Carolyn proved to be a player of real merit. A good shot and reliable. Next year's squad must work hard to find a capable successor. WOLFE, '3l. Always one to contribute 100 per cent. effort in a basketball game, Lodie proved conclusively that her presence in the lineup had much to do with the final result. W. KLOSE, '32. Although a Iunior, Winifred was playing her first year of var- sity ball. Teamed with Wolfe they comprised a real problem for rival forwards to penetrate. TAURO, '33. When illness forced Rose to the sidelines our basket-ball for- tunes likewise suffered a slump. Her team-mates and school-mates as well are hop- ing to see, Rose back at her post as center next season. MARION SHAFFER, '33. A scrappy forward who has shown rapid develop- ment. lf she -delivers as expected in coming seasons, one position is certain to bc well filled. KLINGMAN, '33, Another Sophomore forward. With the natural ability which she possesses, Eleanor is capable of carving her name among M. H. S. notables of athletic history. SHOEMAKER, '33, A sister to Lorene of the championship '28 team, Lena bids fair to become a star in her own domain. Small of stature but alwavs at the right place at the right time, she has already been of much service to M. H. S. H. Klose, '33, Should a capable guard be needed next season one should have to look no further. With the experience already gained, plus a fighting heart, Helen possesses all qualifications essential to success. HAYES, '33. Little was known of Wilmae's true ability until she became reg- ular center at mid-season. Although not as tall as rival centers, she never failed to put forth the true effort and played creditably at all times. MABLE SHAFFER, '33. From the time she entered a game until she depart- ed, Mable never failed to insert neo into the playing. She always contributed to- wards victory but never towards defeat. DERSHANI, '34. A Frosh who is bound to profit from valuable experience gained as a reserve forward. LENHART, '3'l. Another Freshman who will be hard to keep from the varsity line-up. Taking all things into consideration we can safely venture that M. H. S. has never had a brighter outlook in her sports history than confronts her along the lines of girls basketball for coming seasons. Only two regulars are lost and although they proved to be of the best, about 10 girls who played much of the time, remain as a nucleus, not only for 1931, but, for the following season as well. 90 THE NAUTILUS BOYS' IUNIOR VARSTTY BASKETBALL TEAM Howard Klingman Winstcmn Wiser George Royer Robert Middlesworth Ralph Irwin Franklin Albright Paul Zimmerman Ralph Shaffer Oren Benner Robert Beckley The fact that our varsity finished in third place in the Susquehanna high school eague and won most of the non-league games as well can be attributed, not only to the abilit f th ' ' ' ' y o e varsity men, but to the fine assistance contributed by the members of the Iunior varsity. The lay-Vees were made up for the most part of under classmen, who lacked either the experience or stature required of the average first string player. The Iunior Varsity was handicapped in that as one of their numbers showed im- proved skill he was moved up to the varsity line-up, leaving a post to be filled by another. Few actual games were played but when they were, the squad members never failed to do their best and often emerged the victor. The spirit displayed bv the Iunior Varsity boys augers well for future years of basketball at M. H, S. lt has been proven that few players ever reach the pinnacle f b k b o as et all greatness if they have never passed through this substitute or Iunior Varsity stage. 91 THE NAUTILUS M, H. S. FOOTBALL TEAIVI Chambers, ftacklejp Moyer, fbackj: Grove, ftacklej., Zimmerman, flziackj., C. Seasholtz, Qbackjg Coach Haney: G.

Much as we would like to boost the work of our football warriors we must admit that the squad of 1930 fell below traditional standard set by teams of by-gone years. The team was coached by Mr. Haney and to him goes much credit for the tire- less manner in which he strove to place M. H. S. in the football limelight. For some unknown reason the boys failed to respond properly and as a result were forced to accept other than victory upon all occasions but one, that with St. Mary's Academy at Williamsport. Watsontown, a rival that has never defeated M. H. S. managed to gain a score- less tie. Despite the apparent failure to work miracles as a team, several players stood out brilliantly among their mates. Captain Maurer played the greatest ball of his career and probably was the out- standing performer of the season. Dersham, a fullback, played throughout every contest and could usually be re- lied upon to bring down rival pigskin-toters more than half the total nmber of times. Other players stood foremost at times but not with the regularity of those men- tioncd. 9 Z THE NA UTILUS M. H. S. BASEBALL TEAIVI Morris Zimmerman Curwin Seasholtz Theron Dersham William Klingman Francis Strickler Leroy Minnick Samuel Steese Coach W. Earl Thomas Robert Lenhart V f Baseball 1930 At the start of the season practice sessions, prospects were anything else but bright. From the preceding years the entire pitching staff were missing, three regu- lar infielders had graduated, but only one veteran outfielder was on hand. Thinking only of the success attained by M. H. S. baseball squads of past years, the candidates set out to uphold tradition and soon were on the road to rapid devel- opment. Out of six games played, M. H. S. was victorious upon five occasions, The sixth game was lost by a two run margin. Leading performers of the year proved to be Steese, Maurer and Klingman. M. H. S. 14 New Berlin 6 The season opened as in past years with a trip to New Berlin to meet their town team. M. H. S. showed surprising strength to defeat their more experienced oppo- nents. M. H. S. 7 Watsontown 4 Our Norry county rivals came to town very hopefully but returned with great respect for the local nine. M. H. S. 7 Laurelton 9 Our sole defeat of the season. A late rally almost turned the tale in our favor but it fell a trifle short of victory. ' 93 THE NA UTILUS M. H. S. 8 LEWISBURG 6 Our arch rivals were defeated after an old-fashioned Mifflinburg-Lewisburg fray. When they scored 5 runs in the first inning, the day seemed lost. Our courageous nine came right back in the first inning to knot the score and then kept fighting and earned a note- worthy victory. M. H. S. 6 WATSONTOWN 1 Once again Watsontown bowed before the superior strength of M. H. S. K1ingman's elfcctive twirling and the hard hitting of Steese featured. M. H. S. 10 LAURELTON 3 Our only defeat was avenged. Hard hitting by Maurer and his mates resulted in an easy conquest. The decisive victory along with that over Lewisburg resulted in M. H. S. winning the Union county championship once more. INDIVIDUAL BATTING AVERAGES Player A.B. R. H. Pct.
