They soon found that upper-claeemen were willing to help them. whey proved that they have the makings of good students by the fine spirit shown at their initiation party given by the Sophomores. The Freshmen have taken an active part in vocal music, band, and the main sports. The class has made a good standing of intelligence rep- resented by the number of their class on the honor roll.

We constructed a rooster skeleton and I think everyone will remem- ber when we helped clean the bones and what a mess we had. After we got the bones all cleane , we had to scrape them to be sure everything was off tincluding our; lasers and finger nailsl. How Roberta enjoyed tak- ing the eyeballs oht of the cranium! It took us about two weeks to clean and scrap all the bones. After we had them cleaned and scraped we put them away for awhile. One morning we came to school and the teacher was looking at them and noticed that some of the tiny bones were gone. He thought some of the students had taken them. We found out later we had had a visitor the night before and it had carried some of the little bones to the back of the room putting some of them under the bookshelf and other places unknown. The v151tor was a mouse. As a result we have yet to learn the difference between meta-tarsus and car- pue-us's. CLASS OFFICERS 0?

Rev. MoDade, Rev. Sutton, and Rev. Eastwood delivered the addressee at these services. The committee in charge of the chapel services, were members of the Glee Clubs. The Lynch Assembly, which was about archery, and Cleaves Assembly, over animals, were presented to the student body. Young Beer Aeeembly, about Indiana, was presented to the grade school. The Liquideir Assembly Program is scheduled for later in the spring. SECTIONAL TOURNAMENTS For the third time, in the last ten years, New London was awarded a Sectional Tournament. The Sectional Tournaments are the first in the State Tournament series. In 1949 there were 96 sectional tournamente compared to 64 in previous years. Since the number of tournaments in- creased, the number of teams represented at New London decreased. The teams participating in Cleee 'B' were Danville, Denmark, Hilleboro, Iarmouth, Mt. Union. Stockport, and Salem. Claee 'A' were New London and Mt. Pleasant.

The four leaders this year did a swell Job leading the yells. Few of us realize how much time and outside effort was needed to do this type or work. An example of this is shown in the preparation for pep meetings, which were held the seventh period, Just before school was dismissed on the day or the home games. In these meetings, skits were performed, encouragement talks were given by teachers and team members, the yells for the evening game were given a last minute brushing up, and in one or the final meetings, high school talent was called upon to provide entertainment. The cheerleading suite which distinguish our leaders from the fans, fit the following description. The beaniee were designed of alternated black and old gold strips. The Jackets were of black satin, with a megaophone and the letters NLHS imprinted on their backs. The slacke were black. Also, black and white saddle shoes were used. The four cheerleaders, this year are all Seniors which is unusual. Another interesting fact about our cheerleaders, was that, three were chosen Queen and attendants over our Homecoming festivities. jig: w .. iis 3 htah IF WJf ?JJT 1 J5 JJ' I Lert to right, Front row: Marvin Berry, Elmer Keuhnle, Dan Brown, Gail Msyberry, Terry Kilbourn, Jack Fairlie, Marvin Thomas, Raymond Brown, Dick McPheron.

It was the first season for the use of New London's newly lighted football field. The field was accepted by visiting fans and teams as one of the best lighted in this area. Perhaps a description of the lighting would be interesting. Seventy-two thousand watts of electricity are used. In order to supply uniform light, on the play- ing area, four poles were placed on each side of the field, each pole holding six reflectors, and each reflector carrying a fifteen- hundred watt bulb. New London should be proud of the lighting system as it will provide light for this recreational activity for many years to come. Next on the list of highlights for the 1948 football season, was the fact that this was the first year for the operation of the newly formed Eastern Hawkeye Football Conference. Although New London dd not fare too well, as to standing. they were not on the bottom at the close of the season. The conference was won by West Liberty. It should be remembered that there are nine schools in this conference. They are: Mt. Vernon, Wilton Junction, West Liberty, University High School of Iowa City, West Branch, Columbus Junction, Whpello, Winfield. and New London. The 1948 season brought to a close the high school football car- eers of five Seniors: Dan Brown, Gail Mayberry, Terry Kilbourn, Jack Fairlie, and Marvin Thomas. Although the 1948 season was somewhat discouraging, when looking at games won and lost we find the boys played well. With the exception of the West Branch game, the margin of loss was not over twelve points at any game. With the interest in football shown by under-classmen, during the 1948 season, New London has every reason to look well to the future. M w 3? g .- v NWW Queen - - 3wwuw Hm CPHfMAaM - ' ' Mme?
