Ossian started off by defeating Chester, who was considered the toughest team in the county 29-28. The Bears displayed brilliant team work to defeat Rockcreek in the semi-finals. In the final game of the tourney, which was a slow and stalling one, Amburn tied the score for the overtime, and joe Corn put in the deciding basket. Amburn served his team well by coming through with baskets at the most needed time. With the co-operation of a good team and careful coaching made such playing and victory possible. ,................ -......- .. . .. vasngs,smsuas.+L0 MEMORABLE BEARS 3 VCA BACK ROW: Mr. King, Coach, H.

Corn, forward, plays the backboard for most of his points. He had 3 years on the first team. Joe holds top place in scoring honors. Pape, a fighting guy, made him one of the important men of the team. Neal had 3 years on the varsity. Werling, center for the Bears, gave a true interpretation of team spirit. His ability on the backboard made him a powerful offensive and defensive player. Amburn, a No. 1 defense man had 2 years on the Varsity. Ossian will miss this good ball handler with a lot of fight and drive. Witte, guard, plays the corner and has an eye for uncanny shots. This is his second year on the varsity. His height-added to the making of the team. Johnson, a substitute forward, has a lot of drive under the basket. This is his first and last year on the team. C. Lindemann, a senior guard, is a good handy man to the team through his height. D. Lindemann, with him as long shot specialist, Dave will be a real cog in the next year's team. fiiffa fosima ' Q sf 1 -1-uffi--QA.. . ... A, ,,, ,,, A THE CUBS STANDING: Mr. King, coach, K.

Taking the county championship for the third straight year was another achievement to be proud of. They played Chester Center again in the tournament for the third consecutive year, but Chester made a new record for themselves by scoring a run, the score being 12 to 1. The score of the game in 1946 was 9 to O and the one in 1945 was 16 to 0.

Seventeen Juniors who endured the agony and suspense of play tryouts made up the cast for Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, a three-act comedy presented on March 27, 28, and 29, 1947 in the Ossian High School Auditorium. Cornelia Otis Skinner fMarilyn Imelj and Emily Kimbrough QWanda Sum- mersj played the leading parts. Mr. Skinner fDick Jonesj and Mrs. Skinner fOpal Bardj were the good-natured parents of Cornelia. The Steward fJack Sorliej' was a hard-working man and the Purser QJoe Cornj was the gentleman who handled com- plaints. Harriet QMartha Dettmerj and Winifred QBetty Ann Heckmanj the English girls wanted the chance to tip the Admiral QWayne Werlingj. Dick fTom Goshornj and Leo fPaul Somersj were two medical students from Harvard. The Ship's Inspector fRosella Fentonj was bewildered at Cornelia's actions. Arriving in Paris, they stayed at a quaint hotel operated by Madame Elise fAlice Rogersj and her daughter Therese QHiIda Studebakerj. The Window Cleaner fEdward Springerj was talkative. Mon- sieur De La Croix QBill JesseJ was a French dramatic actor. Luella Oser served as prompter. I Under the direction of Mr. Gerwig this play was a great success. Our Hearts Were Young and Gay will forever live in the memories of the class of 1948. CURTAIN GOING UP, SENIORS! On October 24-25, 1947, at 8:00 p. m., the cast nervously awaited the rising of the curtain on act one of Junior Miss. A slap happy New Year everybody, and it sure was a happy one at the Graves' home. Mr. Harry Graves QEverett Reslerj a law partner with J. B. Curtis fJack Sorliej, and his charming wife Grace QOpal Bardy had their share of headaches in coping with their 13-year-old daughter Judy QWanda Summersj and Lois QHilda Studebakerj, who's boy friends, Merril Feurback fTom Goshornj, Sterling Brown fJoe Cornj, Albert Kunody fBill Jessej, and Tommy Arbuckle fDick Millerj added their share of disturbances. The custodian of the Graves' apartment fRichard Freiburgerj and the maid Hilda fRosella Fentonj often felt the impishness of Judy. Fuffy Adams fMarilyn Imelj was Judy's bosom friend. Fuffy's brother Barlow fWayne Werlingj was greatly admired by Judy, however Judy was escorted to the New Year's party by Haskel Cummings QCharles Conferj, who also sent a singing telegram rendered by fWayne Haggardj. The romantic plot was built around Uncle Willis fPaul Somersj and Ellen Curtis fMartha Dettmerj, J. B.'s daugh- ter. Under 'the direction of Miss Glass and Mr. Gerwig with Barbara Somers as prompter, the cast brought to a close a most memorable accomplishment.

In November the Junior girls sponsored a Father-Daughter supper and in Decem- ber the Sophomore girls sponsored a Christmas party for small children. The Freshmen and Senior girls also sponsored parties. The society also contributed their share to the Christmas spirit by decorating the windows in Room 7 with a hearty Merry Christ- mas, and the brightly lighted trees of the lawn added their bit to the yuletide season. The society spread their Sunshine by aiding in the Friendship Train and the March of Dimes, proving that their motto is truly Others.

The membership of the various organizations of music has increased greatly in the past two years. In December the Music and Speech Departments presented a Christmas pro- gram. Other events and prominent occasions were: Armistice Day, Thanksgiving program and Teachers Institute. The outstanding event of the year was the Operetta, Words and Music, presented Febmary 9 and 10. The Music Department is justifiably proud that it has in a small measure created greater musical interest and activity in Ossian High School. -f--4.1 :.:.-w--na-44:-ee---.-.-Q.-.

They are all members of the boys' chorus. The setting and story of Words and Music takes place in Barton College, a small school for select young ladies and gentlemen. It is very traditional and has a professional staff more classical than modern in its tendencies. The annual presentation of an operetta, written by the head of the dramatic art department, was one of Barton's traditions, but this year a calamity threatens, for the present head of the department was con- fined to her bed with a severe case of measles. This was Bartonls predica- ment at curtain time. Through many complications the operetta was completed, and through the decision of the president to continue the show, the operetta was brought to a happy ending. The operetta, Words and Music was under the supervision of Miss West with many other teachers doing their part to help make it a success. Mr. Lee was in charge of the staging. Miss Glass was in charge of the makeup and libretto and Mr. Gerwig coached the dialogue. Miss Hoopengardner taught the dances, with Mrs. Nash as costume supervisor. Yes, everyone worked wholeheartedly toward making Words and Music a success. -Ai B A f9!A BG I 3 XTX! ,K 445 -ami' jr ish i Depi 3 I SW H g,,,,wM wi 3 ' QJHFAI T...- 'Q EX, 33,5 -- V , ,.....4,-. ,-nhl. . fhn .. , Xlss. , f :TX - L9- L1 -, i ,gn , Qiiiiimwr J 'rf . -Wlaii ' NH' Sig!!
