James Draper CCJ James broke in at center and filled a big hole very nicely. He also did an excellent job at line backer. Charles Bragg QGJ Chuck was always in there opening holes and giving all he had. He was a fine aggressive ball player. John Markovich CED John never missed a practice and was always in there trying to help his team win. Richard Moreland CCD Richard was al- ways in there pitching. and could be de- pended on any time he was called. William Jordan IT-GJ Bill alternated be- tween Guard and Tackle positions last fall. He did a commendable job at either position. Ifnderclasmen who deserve much recog- nition for the past Football season were: Donald Buckley. Daniel Beard, Sam Frye, Fred Searcy, and Frank Strother. Cheer Leaders HESE girls are very important in our sports schedule. It is their duty to keep the team's morale high and to organize the student body in backing the team. This year the cheerleaders, under the guidance of Mrs. Brewer, led the students in forming a cheering block for the County Tourney. The block proved such a success at the County, that a card section was added for Sectional play. This combination made its appearance at the Sectional Tourney with the cheer- ing block giving yells during the game and the card section displaying a very large tiger with the words Morton Tigers above. Anita Smith, Joice Craft, Evangeline Smith, and Betty Craft are to be congratf ulated for the enthusiastic school spirit and sportsmanship that every Morton student showed throughout the past school year.

HH MORTON Tigers started their third season under Coach Bill Brewer late in October with twenty-fiye boys reporting for the first practice. Making up this year's squad were senior lettermen: James Hart, George Wheeler, Bob Rupp, and Ernie Minton. Other seniors in- cluded: Reginald Stone, James Draper, John Hull, and Charles Bragg. Underclassmen on the team were: Hill Paige, Frank Strother, Sam Frye, and Daniel Beard. The Tigers started the season rather slowly, losing two of their first three games by a total of four points. In losing these games the boys gained valuable experience and teamwork. The Tigers then had a winning streak of four games before the season was interrupted the last of December for Christ- mas Vacation. Returning from Christmas Vacation the boys had three practices to prepare for their game with Arlington, which they lost by a margin of four points. The Tigers went on to win the last game before the County Tour- ney. Morton entered the County yery strong- ly, reaching the final game only to be put out by Arlington. Following the tourney the Tigers won over New Salem, but lost their next game to Morristown. Although losing to Morristown, the Brewermen were not disheartened and went on to win the next five games only to end their season by losing the last two games to very strong Waldron and Connersyille teams.
