A small one-room school was built here in 1860. This building remained here until 1879 when a small two-story brick building was built. The upper room was used as the town hall while the lower room consisted of two schoolrooms. In 1912 Monclova Township built an up-to-the minute modern centralized school house compared with the few brick and wooden one-room buildings which they formerly had. Some pioneers or fore- fathers of the township early realized the handicaps under which pupils were laboring to acquire just a common school education. An addition to the plant was built in 1916 at a cost of 560,000.00 ex- clusive of equipment. The complete plant at the present time is probably worth close to 3l50,000.00. In the building are included not only class rooms but a large study hall, laboratories, offices for the superintendent and principal, gymnasium, auditorium and cafeteria. The district has a valuation at the pres- ent time of 32,l64,730.00 with a total tax of 1.4 mills and the territory covers an area of approximately 36 square miles. There are 350 pupils trans- ported daily in the three school busses. No pupil is on the bus longer than 30 minutes. The equipment used is the best and is all classed in group nA.W Each driver carries liability insurance on his truck. The transportation service of the district has been very commendable. The school has increased in enrollment since its dedication until at pres- ent there are 365 pupils and a staff of 12 teachers. The six-six plan of or- ganization is used and all the teachers of the upper six grades have their de- grees and are teaching subjects in which they majored. This school has an elementary First-Grade charter granted November 1, 1929, as well as a secondary First-Grade charter granted March 28, 1919. The high school is a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, which in itself gives assurance of the best in library and school-room equipment, with only the highest type of teachers. During the past 10 years there has been a slow and steady increase of pu- pils. At this rate of increase the district does not need to worry about a building program for the next ten years. The school is further equipped with a motion picture machine and a radio used for instructional and entertaining pur- poses. The students and tax payers of this district are thoroughly sold on the school and its activities and give it loyal support. They believe that the ac- tivities connected with the school formulate ideas and ambitions in the minds of the pupils and patrons and inspire them to their best efforts, all of which will be valuable in later life. The rapid advance of the school and the cooperative community spirit indicates emphatically what can be accomplished in the rural districts or consolidated districts where people are working for a common cause and interest and also where the district is able to maintain a complete school system. Facilities for education have increased rapidly. Better trained teachers and longer terms are giving the rural boy and girl greater opportunity. The consolidated school gives more efficient instruction than the one-room schools were able to give. Important social and recreational activities are significant in mastering a spirit of cooperation. OUR SCHOOL BOARD A le are very proud of the five members of our board of education. We have achieved much by their skillful and good management. The work of this office is hard, the responsibility great. Our school board has always exercised dis- cretion and keen judgment toward the better interest of the school and the con- munity. The present members are: Fred Grossheim, President C. H.

Any of my teachers could tell you that I was never especially proficient in drawing any- thing--except attention--and could never paint anything successfully--not even my own'face. Besides, the Class of 1955 is a very lively subject for even an expert to attempt to sketch. They are never any of them twice alike, nor apt to be found twice in the same place or position. Just ask Evelyn wicks, be- cause she can tell you all about the different positions. Even a snap-shot could never catch them in anything better than a blur. Besides, I am only one person of decidedly individual opinions, and could look at my classmates thru my own eyes only. I cannot see them as they see themselves, nor even as you might see them if you might stand for a time in my position, and be able to look at them from my point of view. But, as it seems my fate to be expected to hold the mirror up before these seventeen boys and girls that power that would as I can only paint them in them. This, then, dear who have been my classmates for so long and be to them Burns says, NThe Giftie gie us see oursel's as ithers see us.N such words as appear to me to express them as I see friends, is the Class of 1935, as I see it today:--CI To am sure you will pardon the exact measurements, as I would make a better car- penter than I would an artist, and have always been very fond of mathematical statistics. I speak in figuresn The Class of 1935 is made up of seventeen members--eight boys and nine girls. We range in age from Robert Bowman's sweet sixteen years, six months four days to Junior B1ack's nineteen years, five months and ten days. Ie range in height from Mary Jane's five feet and four inches--medium heels, bright colored beret--to Merlin Hinkle's six feet and three inches, with or without his silk stockings. We range in weight from Grace Beers's one hun- dred and eight pounds Cfeather-brains and allb to Merlin Hinkle's one hun- dred and sixty five pounds. Taken altogether as one in body,as we are supposed to be in spirit, we make up an individual of sufficient age to know a great deal, if he's ever going to 1earn,for he would be two hundred and eighty-nine years old--surely an age of wisdom and power, and dignity, verging upon veneration. Our height is eighty-eight feet and ninety-nine inches which certainly raises us far enough up in the world to allow us to tower above our enemies and look down upon the inferior undergraduates. You can see, too, what a heavy proposition we are by thexfact that to Grace Beers's dainty and thirty-nine pounds. the same either with or cusation,and we do-not taken altogether, and even giving due consideration figure, we tip the scales at exactly two thousand Some one has libelously hinted that this weight is without Grace, but we think this is hardly a fair ac- expect any of you to give it any consideration. Our hand is certainly large enough to get a good firm grasp upon the affairs of the world, as well as upon our own individual concerns, for we wear a one hun- dred and thirty two size glove. Our head is of sufficient capacity to hold even the vast amount of knowledge we have been cramming into it for the past four years, for we require a hat that measures seventy and five-twelfths. And if we do not make the success in life that we desire and expect, it will surely not be because we cannot gain a foothold upon the world's battleground, by way of our colossal understanding, for we wear a No. 106 shoe. This is the Class of 1935 in her big moments. Then even her class picture has to be taken on the installment plan. But we have not at all times such a mighty sense of our vastness. Sometimes our pride sinks to a mere average ca- pacity, and Miss Smith assures us we have a splendid capacity for averages. We have been cital of the The girls it is a case investigating this line, too, but will not bore you with a re- resultant statistics. are all Merry Widows, except Grace Beers and the girls wonder if of coming events casting their shadows before that make so many boys envy her. We are all American, for though we may be descended from many different nationalities, we are all united under the red, white and blue of the Star 'rv-mr' -' Spangled Banner and under the scarlet and gray of our class banner. We are accomplished in all things. We have often proved to you how well we can sing, dance, read, recite, and perform in many entertaining ways before the public. We all like to do steady work under the tutorshlp of some person older than ourselves. we will appreciate it if you will kindly refrain from unkind insinuations along this line. Indeed, what we do not know has seemed to us to be scarcely worth the learning. what we do not Know has seemed to our teachers to be very much worth the learning. That may be one of the rea- sons why we know it, but we have nothing further to add along this line. We have within our ranks, Evelyn Wicks, the poet, Leo Armbruster, the musi- cian, Charlotte Franklin, the author, Robert Bowman, the lecturer, MaryJane Reid, the teacher, Merlin Hinkle, the amateur, Mary Strayer, the leader of a woman suffrage movement, William Barton, the historian, Clara Mae Bell, the singer, William woods, the farmer, Wilma Rinehart, the devoted housewife, Earnest Sasse, the scientist, Junior Black, the World's Famous Pitcher, Paul Nailor the debater, Catherine Mayhorn, a nurse, Grace Beers, another devoted housewife. I can tell you what they all are now, 'it doth not yet appear what they shall be.W But this, friends, is a subdued picture of the Class of 1935, crudely sketched from my present perspective. I did not use the brilliant colors of my imagination, lest I should lay myself open to the charge of undue self- appreciation or exaggeration. Far be it from our wish to run any such risk as that- Suffice it is to say that while the career of the Class has from the very beginning been glowing with color and brightness, it is only a glimpse of the great things it foreshadows, when Life, as the master artist, mixes the shades that have been decreed by the forces of destiny for the painting of the permanent and eternal canvas that shall last throughout the ages as the perfect and indestructible Class Picture of 1955. ---- Jewell Lintner CLASS WILL I, Leo Armbruster, leave my fiddle to some big, strong fellow like Charles Jacobs, who is sure he can handle it. I, William Barton, leave my ability in Geometry to John Mertes, don't get your angles mixed John. I, Grace Beers, leave to my revered brother, a deep regret C?J that I won't be back next year. I, Clare Mae Bell, leave my curling iron and hair pins to Dorothea Cunn- ingham, maybe she can use them to good advantage on Howard Kutzly. I, Junior Black, leave my position as editor of the 'Staff' to Lillian Holliker, ' I, Robert Bowman, leave my quiet voice to William Elliot, w,th hopes that the teachers may be heard from next year. I, Charlotte Franklin, leave my reciting ability to Frances Vitello, .to use at her discretion. I, Merlin Hinkle, leave my curly hair to Owen Wilder, one at a time girls. I, Jewell Lintner, leave my ability to vamp the boys to lary Grossheim. I, Catherine Mayhorn, leave my spiritual presence to Martin Linn, to give him inspiration for the next year. -I, Paul Nailor, guarantee the boys basketball team that they won't have to buy uniforms next year, they can have the ones the girls left. I, Mary Jane Reid, leave my ability to play basketball to Edith Harkcom. I, Wilma Rinehart, leave my studiousness to Richard Brown, with hopes that Dick will use it to the best of his ability. I, Earnest Sasse, leave my bashful Smile to D0r0thy Butz- I, Mary Strayer, leave my singing ability to Norma Naylor, Ernestine Olwick and Mary Butz, maybe if they divide it up they may improve it some. I, Evelyn Wicks, leave my hair preparation to Irene Le Veck, maybe Irene can find a use for it. I, William Woods, leave my height to some tall girl like Ruby Armbruster. I, Donald Beers, leave my arguing ability to Howard Kutzly. Ernest Sasse William Hoods 'I CLASS PROPHECY They told me I must prophesy, But I know not what to do, For I was not born a prophet, Anymore than one of you, I had spent the day in study, And in thinking, hard and deep So I now, all worn and weary, Lay me down and fell asleep. I had lain there but a moment, In that slumber, calm and sweet, When I rose refreshed and strengthened And I stepped out upon the street, But I very soon discovered, That I was in a strange place For I saw not one known figure, Nor an old familiar face. I was in a mammoth city, By the site of which I knew That old New York, the nations glory, would stand but a feeble show, Great skyscrapers all about me, Aeroplanes through the air, Wonders far beyond conception Here and there and averywherel I could scarce believe my senses When I saw the airship line. Bore the well known name of nMonclovan While the same gleamed from each sign, And my eyes were opened wider, Than they'd ever been before, When-I saw a slip of paper Dated 1954. While I puzzled o'er this problem Staring 'round with open eyes, Looking for someone to question Of this marvelous surprise, I beheld near me a lady, Coming on with footsteps, slow, And I thought I would accost her And learn what I wished to know. As she came to me still nearer, I thought I had seen that face, Somewhere else, yet could not put it In exactly its right place, But at last she stood before me, And all wonder vanished quite, 'Twas my old chum, Evelyn Wicks, And I met her with delight. It was strange that I should see her, For the change in her was great, She was very tall and slender, While she moved with queenly state, She seemed quite surprised to see me, Said I had been long away, And gave me an invitation To remain with her that day. Her kind offer I accepted, And she hailed a flying car, Which we boarded, skimming swiftly Through the ether, fast and far, I watched the conductor closely 'Twas a lady, large and stout, Fully able to assist the Passengers step in and out. As she took my fare she knew me, And stood pointing out strange sights Clara Mae thus had proven Her belief in womens' rights. On the car a dude was sitting Toying with a poodle small, why! 'twas Bill Barton! I scarcely Would have known the man at all. Soon we flitted past a corner That looked like old times to me, For it was the well known corner Where our High School used to bel Now the place was changed to show The Beers' factory, twenty stories high And I noticed a small fish stand There as we were passing by. And behind the greasy counter Stood a man I knew at sight, Yes, for it was William Woods Shouting WFishn with all his might. I looked out at him in wonder, For whoever would have thought That our old time brilliant president Could to such a task be brought. But the whole day brought surprises Mary Jane and Charlotte were dancing on the stage, Catherine was an opera singer. Leo a fiddler, and.quite the rage. Grace an artist, Jewell an author And an old maid, prim and neat, Earnest and.Wilma had grown so very heavy, Anti-fat was all they'd eat. Curly was an iceman With mammoth great big feet, Junior was a policeman Who wasn't very neat. They ran around together No one ever asks them why They'1l probably be old bachelors Until they die. By and by we reached the house Where Evelyn lived--her husband too. He was a traveling salesman, Paul Nallor Who would've thought it? Wou1d've you? I was very tired and sleepy, So I felt that it was best, To withdraw myself a little For an hour or two of rest. I slept long and very soundly, And just Judge of my surprise, When again after my slumber I opened up my drowsy eyes, I found myself in a cottage I had lived in long ago Ere I started out that morning On the curious quest to go. Yes, it was the old town, I had wearily laid down That e'er yet, I could not That the vision I had witne So you see dear friends and classmates That 'twas nothing but a dream I've been telling, howe'er natural And real it to you must seem, But in this world of wonders Dreams have often times come true So, who knows but this my vision May be realized by you. --Mary Strayer CLASS POEM We're through with small and petty things, We're out in the world at last with nothing more to guide us Than the teachings of our past. We trust we may make our teachers glad, That they taught us in years gone by And hope they'11 remember their lassies and lads With joy and a smile, not a sigh. We'll try to do what's right, To always do our best, To keep an eye in the future And turn our thoughts from the past. We promise our classmates and friends We'1l never be untrue with continuous thought for their friendship While we are making new. We choose our motto With no chagrin, Our aim is success Our hope is to win. Evelyn Wicks JOKES Paul Nailorz 'Have a cigarette, Junnie?'

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY One day in September, a group of nGreen Freshmen,U or rather that was what the upper classmen called us, entered the Monclova High School. We did not become Nfull fledgedn high school students until after the regular HFreshmen Initiation Partyn. As Freshmen, with Miss Parish as our class advisor, we chose the follow- ing: Pres. Lillian Holliker, Vice Pres. Dorothea Cunningham, Sec. Norma Naylor, and Treas. Glen Walbolt. The following Sept. in l953we entered high school, a group of about 21 stu- dents. It was our turn with the HGreen Freshmen.H We chose Mr. Van Ausdale as our class advisor and spent a very successful year. We elected the following: Pres. Glen Walbolt, Vice Pres. Lillian Holliker, Sec. Frances Vitello, and Trees. Norma Naylor. we entered the Junior Class with more vim and vigor and violenceg looking for- ward to the Junior Play and Banquet. The group consisted of about 20 students. We chose Miss Windle as our class advisor and the following were elected: Pres. Frances Vitello, Vice Pres. Charles Jacobs, Treas. Martin Linn, Sec. Lillian Hol- liker, Social Chairman, Norma Naylor. A bright spot in the Junior year was the gathering at Side Cut Park. we all had a very pleasant evening. The Junior boys played good games on the basketball and baseball teamstds season and the girls participated in basketball.

It's a wonderful place to see If you want to go just drop a line Or telephone to me. We'd like to have you meet our teachers But since you say you cannot come I'll take the space and tell you about them At least about some. we have a teacher that sings a lot Miss Mignin is her name Tho She troubles she may have galore always is the same. We have a very quiet one Miss Smith is who I mean She And Our And For She is e very fine teacher I think she is very keen. blue-eyed blonde is Miss Windle she takes the prize if you haven't your lesson says what she thinks with her eyes. Van Ausdale is our coach Mr. He is liked by every one. He knows his math and sports And is out for a lot of fun. Mr. Herbert is noted for his discipline And keeps the study hall quiet For if he finds us talking He sure does raise the riot. Mr. Sanford is our superintendent He has many duties to attend He's working every No idle hours does And And minute he spend. now you've heard about our teachers which ones did you like? Of course we know you liked them all And we agree you're right. WHICH ONE ARE YOU? This world is made up of two distinctive kinds of people, the good and the bad. There are no in-betweens or intermediates. A person is either right or wrong. Both kinds are divided into two types. The willfully developed and the victims of circumstantial habits and environment. A manis what he makes him- self. Each one of us are given a brain with which to think Celiminating those unequally bornJ.a body with which to put our thoughts into action and many ln- centives to instill thoughts. It would be comparatively impossible to enumer- ateland divide the bad into castes and it would be equally impossible to segre- gate the good, but perhaps an explanationyor rather an expansion on the differ- ences, is in order. Those, who, despite--not luck--but fatejhave willfully put temptation to the best and are not found wanting, who prove that life is all too short to take any short cuts to other leisure or pleasure, are the pride of any people and are the bravest of the brave. Those who allow themselves to be- come the product of an environment, either through the fact that they are lazy and refuse to combat it or through ignorance are rather to be pitied,though more often they are tde instigators of contempt and disgust. A person can either be good or bad through the means of his environment. when a habit has been formed, perhaps from early childhood, though the reason for the act is un- known, it inevitably comes to s persons mind, through little effort of thought and the act completed before you can say why you did it. Good habits as well as bad can be found this way, more than likely, from example rather than means of obedience. Then there is the willfully exact certainly, ignorant, person, who in spite of environment and training, persists in following the easiest ways in spite of the cost to someone else. Perhaps he is a well educated per- son given the best that money could obtain, but it is beyond a doubt, that he is ignorant of the finer things in life and the advantage of following a straight path. If we try, we will invariable find at least one good person for every bad Cor perhaps make a good one from an errandh. If we would look for peoples virtues and their faults refuse to see. 'What a wonderful, cheerful, happy place this world might be.' CHARACTER SKETCHES In the Freshman class we find a very devoted pupil to his studies as well as other things. At one glance he is rather an impressive young lad and seems to be enjoying life very much. However there are moments when his expression makes us think that there is some sober thinking going on. Most girls seem to think that he is quite attractive and thus he has a lot of admirers. He has blue eyes and brown curly hair and his manners as well as his speech remind you of a southern gentleman. However he is interested in athletics as well as his studies. He attends all basket-ball games as well as other activities of the school. He has not been a member of Monclova school for a long time, however. Kenneth Parker is this lad's name and if you are not acquainted with him I hope you will try to make his acquaintance soon. assesses Among the ladies of the Sophomore class we find a very pleasant member. She has a clear adjustable voice and as a result she is a good singer. She has many favorite songs which-she delights in singing. She has light brown hair and blue eyes and is smaller than most of her friends. A8 a basket-ball player she is a carload of dynamite in a matchbox and is very active for her size. You may at times have seen her riding her brother's pony. Then to add to her popularity she is one of our cheer leaders, always with plenty of energy at basket-ball games. She is good-hearted, pleasant, a good student in all her classes, sociable, knows when to laugh and when not to,' and has a smile for everyone. So just look for that captivating smile and I'm sure you will recog- nize Ardis Linn. assassin Now to make you examine the Senior class more closely I will try to chann- terize a young lady whom I think most everyone is acquainted with at the pre- sent. In my opinion she likes school in many ways and gets along in her stu- dies quite well. She has dark hair and dark eyes. This member of the Senior class has many friends and is usually surrounded by her many friends who enjoy her clever talk. She is also quite tall and likes to play basket-ball. The class which she is in usually becomes quite httentive whenever she recites. She is humorous and quite pleasant until someone 'crosses her path' as we might say, then you had better be careful. She usually means what she says and does what she intends to do. So please mace your acquaintance soon and enjoy it that much longer with the pleasant lary Strayer.

It implies both acquiring facts and learning how to apply them, Ehucatuxzis something, that once you have obtained, can never be taken from you. In former times only the Healthier classes of people could become eduoatedg but today, for the reason that men have worked the problem out, all who will may be- come educated. Benjamin Franklin 'once said of education 'If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away from him. An investment in know- ledge always pays the best interest.' It is upon the soundfeduoation of a people that the security and destiny of a people reside. So let's become educated! GLEE CLUB Our girls glee club has been organized this year under the direction of Miss Mignin. The total girls enrolled are 54. The officers are as follows: President-Mary Jane Reid: Vice President-Lillian Hollikerg Secretary-Treas- urer-Grace Beersg Librarian-Virginia Woods. The boys had a glee club at the beginning of the year, but since Mr. Yaecker has gone all we have is a quartet. This quartet is made up of Martin Linn, Glen Walbolt, William Woods and William Barton. GIRL SCOUTS The Monclova School has a very fine troop of Girl Scouts with Miss Wing as leader, Miss Perrell as assistant leader, and Mrs. Woods the executive car mittee. The total enrollment is 50. The Girl Scouts was organized for the first time in 1930 when Miss Stark- weather and Miss Parish were leaders. From 1931 to 1954 Miss Parish was leed- er. BOY SCOUTS The Monolova troop of Boy Scouts, Troop 98, was organized in 1950 by Hr. Baumgardner. When chartered it was sponsored by the Monclova American Legion post No. 556. The boys took to the idea of scouting very quickly and it was soon necessary to refuse boys because of an over large troop. In 1933 Joseph Curtis became scoutmaster. At present we have an enroll- ment of eleven scouts and officers. Our council consists of Mr. Anderson, Mn Winters, Mr. Cooper, Mr. Homer Plouck, Mr. James Sanford. Other officers are as follows: Assistant Scoutmaster-Mr. Herbert, Senior Patrol leader-Robert Bowman, Patrol leaders-Donald Dotson and Delbert Anderson, Scribe-Buddy Curtis, Treasurer-Donald Redditt. sinks Harold Beers drove into town the other Friday night with Lillian Holliker. They parked on Main Street right near a popcorn vender's stand. Presently Lillian remarked: nly. that popcorn smells goodl' 'That's r1ght,' said Harold, 'I'l1 drive up a little closer so you can smell it bettsr.' loNcnovA STATIC Our students have been editing a school paper this year, the first for several years.

ANNUAL STAFF The Monclova High School Annual of 1955 was published in April by the commercial department consisting of Miss lindle the commercial teacher, and the first and second year typing students. Due to the kind cooperation of Miss Windle and the students the annual is published with the greatestof success. ORCHESTRA . The instrumental work throughout the year has consisted of string and brass class lessons. We have at present, a class of Junior High violin play- ers who have been doing excellent work in the playing of three part as well as those in unison. lhen suitable instruments become available we have hopes of a school orchestra. Those in the violin class are: Glenn Hart, Ella las Temple,Virgln1a Hay- man, Robert Coder, and Dorothy Wilder. POPULARITY CONTEST A contest was sponsored by the Annual staff larch 19, in which the most popular boy and girl, and the best looking boy and girl were judged by the student body.

Uh- fortunately we were unable to continue to defeat some of our opposing teams. We all appreciate the splendid work shown by our coach Miss Hignin. We found her to be a clean sport and a good loser. AB spectators will agree, the team possessed vim, vigor and vitality. They loved to see the forwards make deadly shots and the quick pass work of the guards. All in all we had a successful year, even though we lost some games. Many things were accomplished, and we assure you they shall not be forgotten. Due credit should be given to the Senior Girls for winning the inter- Class Tournament. They had tough competition, but the 'Seniors'possessed the most outstanding characteristics. It should not be forgotten the cooperation showed and given by our two managers, Norma Naylor and Virginia Woods. We appreciated their cooperation great y. BASKETBALL SQUAD Jewell Lintner-nLintner' , 'L1ntner', has played four years of Varsity basketball. Despite the fact that her knee was hurt during her Sophomore year, she has prevented the op- ponents from making many shots. We hate to see Lintner leave our team. Dorothea Cunningham 'Cookie' nCookie', plays in the forward position. She has played as a regular for three years, and will be with us next year. She has played in every game, but one since she was a Freshman. Cookie has one more year to prove her ability to make unexpected field goals. She has surprised the spectators many times, and we hope she will continue to do so. Mary Jane Reid 'Toots' 'Toots', played four years, she has played both as forward and guard, but we think she makes a better guard. She is noted for her quickness. Although Toots came up against some 'tough' competition, she showed ue that she could stop her opponent from making field goals by her keen eye and swift motion. Grace Beers 'Gracieu 'Gracie', plays in the forward position. She is good at sinking baskets from the side, using one arm to get it up and over. We are wondering who we can put in Gracie's place next year. We all considered Gracie as one who went after the basketball and we still wonder where she derived her 'play' by toss- ing that swift Lela throw of the ball across her shoulder. Phipps 'Lela' WLe1aW, has played two years and we are all glad to have her back on the floor next year. We like the way she rings them from the center of the floor. She also jumps center. We expect her to do as well next year and prove to the Seniors she has ability to get along without them. Evelyn Wicks 'Wicksie' nWicksie', has been on the squad four years. She plays as when she is in front of you she can't be moved without causing a part. Wicksie had a secret. We wondered what it was. But when- ball season came, her secret was revealed. She got to play her school. ciara uae sen Bell uBel1', plays both positions,' of course not at one time, back and forth played in many is nJohnny, on Mary She plays just as good in one as in the other. a guard and foul on your -the basket- last year in but see-saws Clara Mae games this season and has proved to the spectators, that she the spot'. She also couldn't be moved by her opponent. Strayer UMaryu 'MaryN, plays forward and jumps center. Mary's outlook for this years basketball was encouraged by her heighth. Although Mary hadn't the oppor- tunity to play in every game she played well and had her whole heart in her work. Anna M88 B8J'f.On 'Anna' 'Annan, will probably follow in Jewell's footsteps, by playing center guard. Anne proved to us her value as a regular on the team, and we are con- fident she will keep up her good work. Miss Mignin NMiss Migninn, the athletic director, proved her worth by converting a green team into a successful ODS. Her instructions, words of encouragement, and high aims have brought success. Norma Naylor 'Norman 'Norma', has proved to be a very good manager for the girls team this year. She has proved her worth by being at every game to have the necessary equipment for the girls when they were in need of it. Virginia Woods 'Dode' NDode', is the girls assistant manager for this year and although Norma was at all the games we found Virginia's assistance helpful. WDoden is a Sophomore this year and will probably make the team or the bench next year. YDR WATCH U HAT!

Throughout everyone of these exciting and thrilling games the boys retained their grit and showed determination to win. Although being unsuccessful in five of their games the team proved each and everyone that they were good losers and put up a good fight. They showed the spectators that they were good clean sports, as well as playing an outstanding brand of basketball. This was attained by their coach Mr. Van Ausdale, who is a lover of clean sports. The boys appreciate his good work and wish him great success in the future. We have a large number in reserve for next year, and we hope to put out a winning team. BASKETBALL SQUAD Merlin Hinkle 'Curly' 'Curly', played four years of varsity basketball. His ability to out- Jump the opponent was marvelled at by many a spectator. He was the leading scorer of the squad and his 6'zf' meant much to us. Junior Black 'Junnie' 'Junnie', played his third year on the basketball team. His ability to ring the basket gained many a victory. His ability at the pivot position was outstanding. We will miss his defensive play as well. His 25 points at North Baltimore were outstanding. William Barton 'Bill' 'Bi1l', played three years on the basketball squad. He was hard to de- feat in the forward position. He passed well. His play at guard during his last year was outstanding. Paul Nailor 'Gus' 'Gus', played forward position for one year on the varsity team. He was an excellent passer and a very deadly shooter. William Woods 'Bill' 'B1ll', a tall lanky senior, played forward position. His defensive playing was marvelous. We wish he could be with us again next season. John Mertes 'Johnny' uJohnny', played his first year of varsity basketball and proved to be a a very good player. He is a great prospect for next year. Owen Wilder WOwenn nOwenH, a guru, playing his second year on the varsity team, proved his worth. His defensive technique was hard to surpass. Russell Wilder 'Russ' nRussU, played his second year on the varsity squad. The team relied upon his guarding. He is expected to be a leading player next year. Leo Armbruster 'Rubenoff' NRubenoffW, the manager of the basketball squad, has proved his ability as a good manager. As he is a senior, he will not be with us next year but his work has been greatly appreciated by the basketball boys. Mr. Van Ausdale 'Venn nVan'sW words of encouragement as athletic director has helped win many battles. His aim has always been to develop ideals of clean sportsmanship and to train for the lessons of life. A great deal of credit is due him. BASEBALL SQUAD Junior Black WJunnieW nJunnieU, has been a valuable player for four years. Due to his ability to pitch well, he sniffed' many a batter from the plate. We are sure we wDl miss him next year. John Mertes nJohnny' WJohnnyn, has played three successful years on the baseball squad. He played at the catching position and in the infield. He handles the pltdmr and scoops up grass cutters very nicely. Merlin Hinkle nCurlyN NCurly', played his third year as a member of the team in the outheld and at shortstop. We will hate 7-0 give 'Curly' up. Paul Nallor 'Gus' 'Gus', has played four years in the outfield. He stopped many runs by his accurate pegging home from the field. The ball always reached home before the player. Leo Armbruster 'Rubenoffn HRubenoff', played his second year on the team. He plays right field and was a great success at this place. William Barton 'Bllln HBilln, played his fourth year on the baseball squad and also has help- ed reach our goal of success. His ability to catch the wide ones forput-outs at first base was outstanding. Owen Wilder 'Owen' WOwen', played his second year on the squad in the outfield and on thdrd base. We'll use him a lot this year. George Strayer 'George' 'George', is one of our utility infielders and has given a good account of himself in many games. Russell Wilder 'Russ' 'Russ', has played two years in the outfield and is a valuable man in field and at bat. Beers as catcher and second baseman along with Elliott and Kiefer as second basemen were other players seeing service during the season. oxob M14 J 'WN' FGQCUIBS 5 5 M ,E 3 Q?
