Wonder of wonders we were heading back to dear ole South Eastern Kansas and after ten years of working in the great metroplis of New York we knew that the plains of Kansas would be a welcome sight. Marie and I stored our hospital garments and donned our gag colorful new vacation clothes. Of course it took a great deal of persuading on aries part to get her husband, who was chief of staff at Mercy Hospital, where I am a registered nurse, to let her go on this trip alone. I had no husband here to consult, because my heart still belongs in South Eastern Kansas. We called a taxi and were on our way to high adventure and home. Idttle did we know that we would meet many familiar faces and friends along the way. Soon we were at the station aboard the Super Chief for points west. After being comf- ortably seated we heard the familiar call of Sandwiches, milk, coffee, as the man raised hh ht away from his eyes we discovered none other then Charles McGowan who told us he had traveled this same route so many times he felt that whenever trwert home to his wife, the former Norma Curtis thlhe was still moving on rails. tgrglzlg 10381557 conversation, Charles went on with his work and we, on with our O The next morning we arrived In Chicago where we had a two hour walt for a change of trains. as it was breakfast time we went into the station coffee shop. The waitress was our dear classmate Helen Warren, who had given up the idea of school teaching and came to the city for some exciting times. While eating we listened to the radio and were nearly floored when the newest bobby sox swooner crooner, Harold Snyder came on the air and sang love melodies. That wasn't enough to getus all excited, when at the end of the program we found more than we expected. Harold's announcer was the one and only, Richard Siskey. He was now advertising for the two-way strech compangl Suddenly through the morning air we heard the warning clang of fire engines. lnce we had some time extra to wait we wed: out to investigate the commotion. Again another familiar face came into view there was Ieroy Stevens roaring through the streets in the fire engine. As the crowd gathered we noticed two photographers snapping pictures of all an les and nwere overjoyed to see lr. and Mrs. Newell, llrs. Newell being cmformer sargaret Charlton. We traded latest news items while they were snapping pictures and the firemen fought the blaze. We noticed that there were a few casuallties and as tbDr. in attendance bent over the injured patient we thought we recognized those million dollar hands and sure enough there was Dr. Frank Villamarla who gave his gltous grin. Of course we were bursting with questions and he informed us that lore were a few more old classmates here in Chicago. He himself had married his 'life-long sweetheart, from his home town. We didn't have to ask who the class- lsbes ire because at that moment Frank Simone with a screech of brakes drovexp in a shiny black hearse. No, Dr. Villamarla and Frank Simone werern't in buginegg together. Just a strange coincidence lol We noticed that it was time to board the train so off we hurried to our seats. On itraveled: ommore sto before ltineral and that was Kansas City. we reach ed Kansas city that like nigh? and while waiting for our change of trains we decided to do the city. we read the lights and kept getting surprises by noticing that the Allen sisters were featured in a lance show of their own. Rrlene and Bilene were happy te see us as we were to see them. Rrlene told us that she had just ctten a divorce from Frank Simone but that lllene was happily married to Frank ilorio who was running a flower shop. After the show we visited the Kansas City airport where we fours! Edith Shldeler a, stewardess on the T., U.

' ,- '- 2 A' ' - im VP '1- Dick Sisl-fey Co-Captain 1947-48 Q r 1 joofgaf N Foot alternately been bright and dark in the years this rugged sport has summoned the loyal sons of M. R. H. S. into the moleskins to do battle for the sake of their Alma Mater, but this last year gave rise to one of the best teams ever to wear the purple and gold. On September 1, 1947 thirteen lettermen and a group of hopefuls answered the call for practice. Under the inspired coaching of Jack Broadhurst the Wildcats soon were in first class condition. The first game of the season was on September 19, on our home field. Lights had been installed and the Wildcats showed their appreciation for the privilege of playing on their own lighted field by running all over the Weir Wildcats and winning to the tune of 43 to 0. It was the luckless Erie Red Devils who invaded Mineral, just one week later, and when they left the Wildcats had another victory, this time 65 toO. By this time sport writers were calling the Mineral eleven a Power house. For the next game the Wildcats traveled to Minden to entertain the Minden Pirates. We won this one too, this time the score was 26 to 6. On October 16, the den of the Wildcats was invaded by the mighty St. Marys Panthers. The largest crowd of the season was on hand to witness the battle. After a terrific game in which the home eleven was tied but never headed the Wildcats walked off the field with a 6 point lead. Final score Wildcats 19 Panthers 13. The next week the Wildcats entertained the Edna Bucconeers on the home field. Because the Wildcats were playing under Wraps waiting for the championship game with Mulberry the Mineral eleven only ran up a 26 to 15 victory margin. On October 51, the undefeated Mineral Wildcats journeyed to Mulberry to battle the undefeated Mulberry Tigers. The game was to decide the champion- ship of the Mineral Belt league. This was the hardest fought, but cleanest game of the season. At the half the score was all tied up 7 to 7. The teams battled on even terms all the third quarter and most of the fourth. But with less then three minutes left to play Mulberry pushed across a score and that was the margin of victory. Mulberry had handed the Wildcats their only loss of the season 13 to 7. The Mineral eleven was out scored but not out fought. The next game was with the fighting Weir Wildcats. Coach Broadhurst substituted freely and the final score was 58 to O. The victory gave Mineral undisputed possession of second place in the Mineral Belt League standings. The next week the High Flying team from Mineral traveled to Riverton to do battle with the Rough Riverton Ramblers. After trailing 6 to O at the half the Wildcats pulled into a 12 to 6 lead early in the fourth quarter, but Riverton fought back to gain a 12 to 12 tie. The last game of the season was played November 20 against the Scrappy Cherokee Braves, in a thrilling game in which 7 seniors played their last High School football, the Wildcats climaxed a very successful season with a 58 to O victory. ' As the final seconds of the Cherokee game were fading away 7 seniors ure playing their last High School football game. They were Slickn Norris, Harold Snyder, John Newell, Frank Simone, Frank Villamarla, Richard Siskey, and Charles McGowan all members of the first team and Frank Floric a sub. On the mythical Mineral Belt Ieague all-stars team the Wildcats were well represen ed. Frank Simone, Harold Snyder, and 'Slick' Norris were unsmf mous on the first team. John Newell and Richard Siskey were named on the second team and Charles Proffitt, Frank Villamaria, Donald Waugh, Orval Smth, Jim Jenkins, and Dan Chandler receiving honorable mention. As a team the Wildcats averaged a mere 157 pounds and were out weighed in most games. The amazing Wildcat eleven ran up a total of 266 points and had only 58 scored aganist them. No team scored over 2 touchdowns aganist the Wildcats and the fighting team from Mineral was never held scorless. Little has been said about the coaching of Coach Jack Broadhurst. This man more than anyone else was responsible for the great showing of the Wildcats. We of M. R. H. S. are proud to salute Jack Broadhurst and wish for him many more successful seasons.
