A PRAYKR FOR LIGHT By Robi:rt Dawson Light of Memory, do not fade. But stay with us ind give us aid. Strengthen us when we forget That better things await us yet. Light of Foresight, bring us dawn; Guide our steps and lead us on. Light our path so that it leads To goodly thoughts and better deeds. Light of Courage, make us strong To battle fair and battle long. Make us brave for what life brings And strengthen us for harder things. Light of Friendship, give us friends To comfort us till hardship ends. When life assumes a harder tone. May we not travel all alone. For these we ask, O Light of Life, To aid us in this world of strife. Help us conquer, true and fair. We beg you hear a senior’s prayer. Page 30

Although Coach Raymond Jolly’s boys had won over the Trojans three times during the regular season, they upset the Bearcats in an overtime tilt by the score of 14 to 9. However, Coach Orville Hooker’s Trojans did not win the regional title; they were defeated in the night game by Richmond’s team by the score of 18 to 12. Although Muncie did not reach the state finals, the season was not a disappointment. The JoIIymen won fourteen of their twenty seasonal games, excluding the tournament played New Year’s Day at the Field House. Logansport, 1934 state championship team, was looked upon by many as the ultimate winner of that fracas, but the Bearcats upset the Loganberries in the opening game, 18 to 15. Muncie defeated Newcastle in an overtime in the finals. The local sectional was the most exciting encountered by Muncie in many years. Dalcville, Royerton, and Yorktown proved to be thorns in the side of the locals from start to finish. One of the closest games seen on the local floor this year was the Yorktown-Muncie game. When only fourteen seconds were left to play, the Tigers were leading the Bearcats, 23 to 21. Fred Klcinfelder, star center, flipped a field goal in and made a foul attempt good to turn the tide of defeat into victory. Coach Jolly will lose Kleinfelder, Charles Budd, Gene Clock, Tom Botkin, and Richard Hilton because of graduation this year. Muncie finished fifth in the North Central Conference standing with seven wins and four losses. Page 32
