Senior MARSELLA REESE Guard Sally was a good guard and was considered one of the best in the county which is a big distinction for one so little. Small but mighty, we should call her because she was always there when her forward had the ball MARY MORRISON Forward Mary, playing her final year for Cory, showed all the fine points of a good forward. Her one-handed shots thrilled the audience many times. Mary's best showing was in the Pandora game when she scored 39 points. RICHARD BOWERSOX Center Richie was a very good cen- ter and every team needs a good center. A lot of Cory's success centered on Richie because he never made a bad pass from center. ROY CROW Forward Roy played a relief role at forward, but when he was called on to play, he played hard. DON CLYMER Guard Donnie was a fighter and was a hard man to get around on defense. He was a good shot on offense. Players MAXINE REICHLEY Forward-Capt. Max was a good all around player, she could pass good and was a good shot. She could always be counted on to play good every game as she was a very steady player. BETTY BALISTER Forward Although Betty didn't make the first team, she was a good player. In the tourna- ment she surely showed us what kind of 3, player she is when she gets going. CHARLES GUIN End Chas. was a very good end and in his Junior year he made the All County team. He was a very good pass receiver and made many touchdowns. CHARLES STRITE Guard Charles was a very good guard and we will miss him next year. Many times he saved the game by his long shots that surely thrilled the crowds. BURNETTE POWELL Center Buzz was a relief center and filled the place well. Wher he went into the game he always fought hard.

Blanchard ...... 41 567 409 We started practicing in the first part of November. Twenty-two girls reported making a good-sized squad considering the size of our school. We had six lettermen, meaning that the whole team was experienced and had played together for two years. We opened our season playing Lima Woolworth Girls on November 23. This was an easy game and we displayed some fine passwork winning 55 to 37. We had as our first league opponent, Arlington, on December 7. We had little trouble subdueing them 44 to 16. The next night, December 8, we went to Pandora where as usual we met very stiff competition. We payed hard however, and came out on the big end of the score. The score was 35 to 30. On December 14 we went to VanBuren, where because of illness, conceit and their small floor, we lost a hard fought game 24 to 25. This looked bad for our chances to take the league. Well the game we were looking forward to. It was Liberty. They came over December 21 with the same idea we had, that of a hard game. Crippled by illness and their strong guards, we lost 21 to 30. We always like to find out who can stand the most, Youth or Age , so we played the Alumni on January 4. However, Youth conquered Age 43 to 35. We went over to the onion country on January 5 and conquered Alger by the amazing score of 62 to 19. All the players on the squad got to display their talents that night. With a record crowd coming as well as the strong Rawson girls team on Janu- ary 11, we were determined to fight hard even if we were the underdogs. But alas! We weren't so much the underdogs as you'd think. We had easy sailing after the first half and we won 42 to 28. Arcadia was our guests on January 18. We had an easy time winning 42 to 29. We went to Blanchard on January 25. We came through with a victory 52 to 41. Well, again we were destined to have a hard game, and it was. We played hard, however, and only won by a score of 27 to 25. That was on February 1 from Valnue. Pandora came over on February 9 determined to get revenge for the defeat we gave them on December 8. It looked like they were going to succeed in the first part of the game, but we finally regained our usual form and forged ahead to win 60 to 40. Our last league game was at McComb February 15. We played a good game and won 45 to 31. At the tournament our opponent was none other than our old rivals Rawson. Our luck was against us again. Once more sickness crippled the team and we lost to the strong Rawson team 23 to 15. Those who earned letters were Maxine Reichley fCapt.J 5 Mary Morrison, Maurine King, Mary L. Whisler, Ilda Strite, Marsella Reese, Mary Harper, Ruth Wrautter, Jeannette Krautter and Betty Balister. We all give a toast to our dependable man- ager Esther Welty, who also earned a letter.

R aymond Rothhar Imagine What Would Happen- IF Mr. Rothhar didn't blush when the girls talk to him. IF Mr. Hutton didn't argue with the referee at a basketball game. IF Miss Thomas quit teaching school and was married. IF Leah Mae R. would get lock-jaw so she couldn't talk to the boys. IF Edwin Inbody didn't dirt with the girls. IF Lucille Roether didn't invite a little red-headed boy from Liberty to the Fresh- man class party. IF Mary Morrison wasn't playful in Glee Club , and especially if she wouldn't eat alum. IF Ruth Krautter wouldn't get into mischief then act very innocent. IF Jap Dukes wouldn't use his book in History class. IF Francis Wilkins would get all A's on his grade card including conduct. IF Donald Simmons would make all the baskets he shot. IF Norman Edinger would ask Max R. to take her to the Jr. Play. Of course he would have to ask her at least three weeks ahead of time so he would have a chance to get some stilts made. IF the Sophomore class wouldn't have a quarrel over Rawson and other town girls, when they are planning a party. IF Lyle Crow wouldn't blush when Marsella happened to sit beside him on the bus. IF the Seniors would act like Seniors should in their classes. IF Betty Garlinger and Katheryn Pitzen wouldn't get to sit beside certain high school boys in the assembly. IF Eldon Shafer couldn't talk to Mary Kate and Mary Louise. IF Angeline would lose her giggle. IF Mr. Simkins would run out of pictures for the bulletin board. IF The Powell Chevie wouldn't head for Liberty on those certain nights. IF Miss Swab would be taller so she wouldn't look like the deputy's little girl. IF Miss Romey would be a tight rope walker in the circus. Cathrine Allspach
