if The Mounder of 1943 FOOTBALL It is difficult to measure the success of a Mt. Morris football season in scores alone. Al- though the Mounders won only the first of five games, they played every game with determ- ination until the final whistle. For several seniors, it was a disappointing final season, but they knew that Coach Reimer would have seven experienced lettermen back for next year to build the foundation for a strong team. At the close of the season, Harold Palmer was voted the most valuable player to the team, and Frank Aulfderbecld was voted honorary captain for the season. Major letter winners for the 1942 season were: Frank Aufderbeck, Harold Brinker, Paul Brinker, Ralph Hudson, Don Medlar, Tom Prugh, Lyle Towns, Vincent Horst, Christy Krug, Harold Palmer, jim Rohleder, Dick Shank, Ted Incontro, Bill Messer, and Russell Stonebraker. Bill Coffman was awarded a manager's letter. DO YOU KNOW YOUR ALPHABET? From first grade to the end of your senior year in high school-'tis a worthy accom- plishment, we think-a long space of time has elapsed since we first learned our abc's and proudly recited them teacher. However, wel now have another alphabet. How many events of the sports year do you remember? Maybe this will refresh youu memory. Did you know that: A stands for Aufderbeck-a regular Bronko Nagurski at fullback-too bad we didn't find it out sooner. B stands for that basketball that disappeared last winter. Where did it go? C is for coach. Would anybody have liked the job? D means Demon Deneau. Many were the sore and aching bodies after a scrimmage against him. E symbolizes that enthusiasm on the part of the student body that never died down. F is for the poor freshmen who went out for football and stayed out. Oh well, their lot wasn't nearly as hard as in previous years although Willie Incontro might think so. G stands for grey, the color Coach Reimer's hair was by the end of our basketball season. H is for head, that which Lyle Towns lit on after his dive in the shower room. I is in recognition of the invalids, Tom Prugh and Christy Krug, who both received in- injuries in their joints, or to be more explicit, their knees. L stands for the laps around the football field. Whether it was two, three, or ten laps, Vince Horst invariably beat everybody around. Am I kidding? M means delicious Macaroons. Need I say more? N stands for nifty and natty-our cheerleaders. O is for Oregon-near to us in location, but plenty far away in that final football score. P must be Palmer. He's only a junior, but opponents knew it when he tackled them. How- ever, it seems that Hal himself at times had trouble remembering who he had been tackling' or even where he was playing. is quality-that for which Mt. Morris always strives. stands for redheads. The Mounders could have put an entire team on the basketball floor composed of them-namely: Coffman, Deneau, Bartow, Shank, and Hudson. J K Q R S means snow, sleet, and slush. Such were the weather conditions at Mt. Carroll when we slipped and slid to a 6-0 victory. Remember? T would be Towns. A little scrapper was Lyle and as powerful as dynamite when touched off. U stands for underdog-the role the Mounders played most of the year. V is vim, vigor, vitality, victory, and vitamins. Bill Colffman said that he thought we had the first three, but needed more of the last two. W means water boy Wright. This modern version of Gungha Din was noted for his ability of doing the least things in the greatest space of time. X marks the spot. What spot? Why, the one that Coach was always on, of course. Y is you-the person who is reading this. Remember that this was written in a spirit of fun and not intended to offend anybody in any way. Z stands for the zither that will be easy to play compared with writing a column like this. i24 l
