These are but a few of the orders given by the Record editor, David Blair, and Miss Florence Robinson, faculty advisor. It is no small task to publish a paper. Copy must be written, layouts made, and proofs checked. Each member of the journalism class must do his or her part and every- thing must be as regular as a clock to prevent that last-minute THE JOURNALISM CLASS WORKS to get out a paper. The staff is busy writing copy, reading proof and checking ads. They are making sure the Record will meet the dead- 1ine in order that you may hear the cry, Record, Record, get your Record here. The paper is published every other Thursday. 2 rush which can be such a headache. In publishing an annual there is more to do than just take pictures, write copy, read proofs, do the art work, and make financial arrangements. The hardest part is to choose a theme which will include pictures and copy that will bring back pleasant memories and be of lasting interest to each student. We have chosen School Life Through the Eye of the Camera as the theme for this publication. Much credit should be given to the yearbook pho- tographer, Robert Blair, who spent unmeasurable time and energy taking and printing most of the pictures of groups and activities. Studio portraits of the senior class were taken by Mr. Blair and Karl Eitner. Mr. Eitner set up his photographic equipment on the stage of our auditorium and spent one day taking the pictures of the under- classmen. Lamar Phillips, from the Ottawa Herald, also snapped several shots of various activities. We have endeavored to make this yearbook better than those of previous years by including more pictures of school life scenes. Two pages have been allotted for both the band and orchestra. The junior high school section has been added to let the underclassmen know that their activities are important in the eye of the yearbook camera. Despite our difficulties in prepar- ing this annual we have enjoyed the work immensely. Our only hope is that we have pleased our fellow schoolmates, and that you will thoroughly enjoy this book through the years to come. WJ ' 14 In appreciation for the work he has done, we sin- cerely dedicate this yearbook to Hazen L. Richardson, director of instrumental music in Ottawa high school. Mr. Richardson came to Ottawa in the fall of 1934 and has successfully completed his thirteenth year here. He has spent untold time and energy in improv- ing the' orchestra and maintaining the high standard of the band. Because of the efforts of Mr. Richardson the band has its beautiful blue uniforms which give the organ- ization its snappy appearance. The vocal music is a department separate from the instrumental department due to the persuasive methods of Mr. Richardson. This has been a definite help for both groups. Each year the band and orchestra have partici- pated in music contests and have always been rated as superior organizations under Mr. Richardson's direc- tion. So, to you, Richie , this book is dedicated to show you that your efforts and interests in O.H.S. are deeply appreciated. To you we want to say, Thanks a lot. is 5 ? Q Q ' 2.

In July Charles died of poliomyelitis. His position on the Student Council was filled by 'Vice-President John Hill, but the spot left vacant by Charles can never be filled. Charles Kelley was active in vocal and instrumental music, ath- letics, class activities and religious work. It may truly be said. He looked for the best in others and always gave them his best. . 5. Democracy is not only taught in O.H.S. but it is prac- ticed through the medium of the Student Council. Since its founding in the fall of 1942, the council has sponsored many projects and has brought many outstanding entertainers tc Ottawa, The programs are both varied and interesting. Through the efforts of President John Hill and other mem- bers of the council, the scope of influence of the Student Council has been greatly enlarged. One of the major projects of this year was the sponsorship of a memorial for the late Ralph E. Gowans, principal of O.H.S. for many years. The offices of president. vice-president. secretary and treasurer for the coming year are filled by election each spring. Other members are chosen from the sophomore, jun- ior and senior classes in an election each fall. Members-ab large are chosen from the major school organizations. The Student Council has come a long way since its founding and we are sure that in the future it will continue to promote activities in O.H.S.

I3 01 V v .-r K Ii t T' As we prepare to leave O.H.S. fond recollections crowd our memories--recollections of the past twelve years that comprise the education of the Class of '47. Looking around us, we find that out of the 102 students in the senior class, 33 of this number started and completed all of their training in the Ottawa public schools. Sixteen additional students have gone to school in Ottawa since the seventh grade. Five elementary schools are represented by this group. Eugene Field school tops the list, having promoted 19 boys and girls. A close second is Lincoln school with 17 students. Fifteen class members are from Hawthorne school, 8 from Garfield, and 3 from Washington school. The remainder of the class entered from the country schools and various parts of the United States. Time has passed so rapidly, that it seems only yesterday we entered, for the first time, these halls. Since that first entry, the days and events have been numerous and happy ones, the studying and activities varied and interesting. This class has also maintained and sponsored the traditional activities such as school dances, class picnics, Junior Red Cross work, Hi-Y, Girl Reserves, instrumental and vocal I4 s'---- Allene Hoopes---Girl Reserves ll-12, F.H.A. 10-11-12.

A TYPICAL SCENE IN AMERICAN HISTORY CLASS-Miss Esther Dunn is discussing the control of big business in the United States with the first hour American History class. i '9- 7 music organizations, dramatics and sports. As sophomores we felt we were advancing rapidly into the world. This year was spent largely in preparing for the duties to fall on us as juniors the coming year. Chosen to officiate over the activities of this sophomore class were: Lowell New, president, Lloyd Wolgast, vice president, Dor- othy Abbott, secretaryg and Bonnie Birt, treasurer. Class sponsor was Mrs. G. R. McCormick. Before we realized it, the task of raising funds sufficient to sponsor the annual Junior-Senior banquet was upon us. The most interesting and profitable business venture of the year was the junior class play, Girl Shy , which brought forth much hidden talent. The headaches of raising enough money and putting all of our actiyities over this year fell to Miss Marjorie Lancaster and C. W. Parent, ourijunior sponsors. To raise additional funds, this group sponsored a Pat and Patsy party near St. Patrick's day. Our class leaders were: Bill Richardson, president, Darlene Cox, vice pres- identg Eldon Rader, secretaryg and Kenneth Hoffman, treas- urer. tContinued on page 161 I5 As spring approached, work was really begun on the banquet decorations. The theme, Let's Pretend , had been chosen earlier in the year, and each committee chairman had been making his or her plans to carry out the theme. Many class members spent their time painting programs, place cards, and favors which represented various fairy tales. A huge book was the nucleus of the stage decorations. The painting of the pages of the book was done by Paul Elben and Miss Billie Marie Harding, former graduate of O.H.S. The background of fairy castles, which had been designed and painted by Miss Esther Dunn, was interspersed with evergreen trees. Clouds of soap bubbles helped to transform the stage into a fairyland. To end our activities the junior class picnic was held at Gardner Lake. With seniors of '46 being graduated a few weeks later, the realization was brought home to us that we would soon be seniors, and the life of O.H.S. was to be under our leadership for the coming year. Seniors at last! Confident, sure of ourselves, we sauntered through the halls with all the arrogance that seniors should have. We took a newer, greater interest in I6 ...gg ...

The Snow White and the Raggedy Ann tables can be seen in this picture. I activities. Football, basketball, the senior class play and many other activities all held our interest. Don Waymire was our class president3 David Blair was vice presidentg Betty Lou Klein, secretary3 and Lloyd Wolgast, treasurer. Miss Betty Babb and J. E. Harclerode were class sponsors. But our last and best year passed all too quickly. Being guests at the Junior-Senior banquet, taking the final tests and going on the class picnic came in rapid succession. We checked credits, got our caps and gowns, and then the last week arrived with Baccalaureate and Commencement! With that grand, glorious, and somewhat sad feeling we took our diplomas, sang Hail Alma Mater for the last time as a class, and left dear O.H.S. never to return as students again. So now we close the door on high school. We'll never race through the halls, shouting and laughing, never slam locker doors, never gripe about teachers and homework. Maybe ten years from now we'11 look back and think it wasn't so bad after all. To future students of O.H.S. we leave our wishes that they enjoy their school careers as much as we have. 17 Q if 1,515 A tv mn- ilr 'g E Mary Margaret Walls-Girl Reserves 8-9-10-11-125 Band 7-85 Orches- tra 7-8-9-105 F.H.A. 105 G.A.A. 9-10-11.

As a result of this election, Betty Silvius was elected president, Albert Keefer, vice- president, Dorothy Lou Welty, secretary, and Jim Potts, treasurer. These officers have been very capable and efficient in guiding the class through the year. The junior class production, Swing Fever , was presented in December to large and enthusiastic audiences. In the ticket selling contest for the play, the boys lost to the girls and entertained them at a party at the Youth Center. Later in the year the class sponsored a movie at the Plaza theater to help finance the banquet. The supporters and councilors of the class through all of its activities have been Miss Marjorie Lancaster and Leroy Hood, co- sponsors. The crowning achievement of all class activities was the Junior- Senior banquet. This very successful banquet was a testimony to the cooperative spirit and ingenuity of the class and its sponsors. 21 lk.

In 1946, the contest was held at Kansas University in Lawrence. At this time the girls' glee club and a cappella choir were rated highly superior. The boys' glee club received a superior rating. The 1947 contest was held at Kansas State Teachers College in Emporia, April 11 and 12. Preliminaries were held in March when the entrants were chosen. Several small ensembles were organized from the larger groups. Among these was the senior girls' trio composed of Lois Jeanne Dick, Barbara Reagan and Darlene Cox who sang for several downtown groups and gave numbers in chapel programs and Girl Reserves meetings. Shirley Bliss, Dorothy Lou Welty and June I-Ienthorne made up the junior girls' trio which sang for church groups and Girl Reserves. The school is greatly indebted to the members of the vocal music department for all they have done to make this school year more complete with their beautiful musical programs.

On October 5, the 70 band members journeyed to Topeka where they performed before the Topeka and Ottawa foot- ball fans. The band takes an active part in civic activities as it marches in parades and provides music for programs out- side the school. The most important of these activities this year was the trip to Eldorado Springs, Mo., No- vember 21, where the band played at the Osage River Basin Improvement Association meeting. Leaving at 6:30 a. m., the band members arrived in Eldorado Springs at 10:30 after a trip of 140 miles. The band traveled in two buses and a caravan of about 50 cars followed. Sponsors on the buses were Principal Henry A. Parker, Mr. and Mrs. Hazen Richardson and Miss Lucille Anderson. There was an unusual parade at 2:30 p. fn. featuring the Ottawa band in their uniforms of royal blue trimmed in red and white. Many Mis- souri bands from the vicinity of Eldorado Springs also played, but the Ottawa band led the parade and performed a special street routine. General Louis A. Pick spoke at the flood control meeting and at a luncheon held in his honor. Also attending the luncheon and meeting were a number of Missouri and Kansas officials, some United States congressmen, and several U. S. army engineers. The director of the Osage River Basin Improvement Association regarded this meeting as the most important held yet in Missouri and Kansas for flood control. The work done by the Ottawa band has proved to be very important in calling the attention of the officials to Ottawa's need for flood control. The pep band, which is composed of about 20 band members, played for the pep Chapels and for all of the home basketball games.

Good music of symphonic character is played by these musicians and each receives top- notch music experience. The orchestra made' its first public appearance when it played for the Christmas chapel. Following performances in- cluded the Emporia music festival and the annual spring orchestra concert in the Eugene Field school auditorium. The programs included vocal and instrumental solos accompanied by the orchestra. Theater orchestras for the dramatics depart- ment are derived from the orchestra. This year there was a theater orchestra for the junior class play and one for the senior class play. The final duties of the orchestra are musical selections for baccalaureate and commencement exercises each spring. Orchestra members were: First violin-Mary Ashton, Tommy Pinney, Darlene Cox, Lois Jeanne Dick, Ellen Ann Hen- ning, Virginia Lewis, Betty Paul, Bill Richardson.

Instrumental ensembles include the string quartet. clarinet quartet, trumpet trio, and brass sextette. These groups provide music for down- town organizations, chapel programs, Hi-Y, and Girl Reserves meetings. Beginning classes are started in strings, reeds, 0 C' and brasses each semester and during the summer band and orchestra schools. Intermediate classes are scheduled through- out the year for training in ensemble playing. Students who have progressed sufficiently through private and class study are recommended to clinic and camp band and orchestra sessions such as the camps which are held at Emporia Teach- ers College and Kansas University. These sessions have proved very helpful to the individuals and to the instru- mental groups as a whole. X I PHOTOGRAPHER SNAPS SHUTTER ON CORNET TRIO-Henry Dewey.

Each side represents a part of the girl's life--mental. physical. and spiritual. This Christian organ- ization is designed to aid in the development of each mem- ber. Each girl resolves to face life squarely and to find and give the best as she becomes a Girl Reserve. At the first of the year, the G.R. club held its candle- lighting and initiation service at Eugene Field school. The potluck supper was arranged by the Y,W.C.A. members of Ottawa. The Christmas program was one of the highlights of the year. A small choir of girls' voices sang carols between scripture readings. Members of the Hi-Y were invited to attend t-his program. The girls sponsored two parties at which the Hi-Y boys were guests. ln addition to these social gatherings, the annual Mother-Daughter tea was given for the girls and HEART SISTER TIME IS HERE-Those receiving gifts are Norma Brown, Carolee Smith and Joan Williams. 34 their mothers. As a service project, boxes of food and clothing were sent to an underprivileged familv in Kentucky. Several needy Ottawa families were also given help. A series of meetings entitled I Dare You were held during the spring based on the book of the same name writ- ten by William H. Danforth and printed material sent to the club. The purpose of these meetings was to help each girl live a more balanced life physically. mentally, socially, and religiously.

Guest speakers spoke at severa'l of the meetings. At Thanksgiving time the Hi-Y and Girl Reserves sponsored and planned a worship service at the Federated church for all of the senior high school students. The a cappella choir furnished the music for this program. This year Roger Cummings of Ottawa University was the guest speaker. Two parties at which the Hi-Y members were guests of the Girl Reserves were given this year. The annual Christmas caroling was followed by a chili supper served by the women of the Y.W.C.A. A party of games was given in the junior high school study hall on February 18. Clyde Hartford, who counsels with Hi-Y clubs through the state Y.M,C.A., was at Ottawa high school for two days to counsel with those who wished his advice and help. Mr. Hartford, better known to all as Clyde, met with each boy individually to listen to his problems and give his assistance whenever possible. These consultations proved very helpful to all. Clyde also talked to the entire student body during a chapel period. .fy ..S .

The club worked as one big family, with every member participating in some' phase of outside activity which in- cluded community projects, such as making hospital favors each month, and giving to the Red Cross. Money-making activities were the checking of hats and coats at home bas- ketball games, and selling pencils. Many girls were also called upon to serve refreshments or participate in the pro- gram at some time of the year. Several of the members and their sponsors, Miss Luella Reed and Miss Betty Babb, attended a district F.H.A. conference in Kansas City last fall. Juanita Collinge served as district seo- retary this year. At the 1947-48 election, Maxine Ford was chosen vice-president for the district. Officiating in the club this year were Juanita Collinge, president, Max- ine Ford, vice-president, Inez Malburg, secretary, Beverly Howard, treasurer, Shirley Bliss, historian, and Veda Mae Dunkin, who represented the organiza- tion at student council events. Much advice and intormation may be secured about careers as home econ- omists through the Home Economics department. The purposes of' the F.H.A. are to develop worthy ideals of home life, aid in personal development of girls through teamwork and friendship, and help in community projects.

A student who wishes to be a member of the club may try out by giving a reading and a pantomime or being in either the junior or senior class play. The try-outs are sponsored by Miss Florence Robin- son and the cabinet members. The capable students are later initiated into the club by the old members. The members meet once a month and plays given under the direction of some of the members are presented. No Means Yes , Cappy Explains , Crazy Violet , 'White Phantom , and Drums in the Night are some of the plays presented this year. Sarah Hill, Virginia Lewis, Miss Rob- inson and Lois Jeanne Dick have directed plays this year. Some of these plays have been presented in Franklin county rural schools. Special numbers such as talks and readings by outsiders have also been sponsored by different mem- bers. Some of the special numbers included a reading by Mrs. P. R. Jamison and a talk by Robert Blair on his travels during the war. The purpose of the Dramatics club is the discovering 38 and developing of talent ,among the members, teaching the fyndamentals of dramatics and interpretation, teaching the principles of stagecraft, play production and make-up, and encouraging the appreciation of theater arts. The member- ship is limtied to 50. Try-outs are held the second Wednes- day of October of the current school year. Students voted into the club are considered pledges until the initiation. This initiation is held the fourth Wednesday in October It is in the hands of a committee appointed by the president on the approval of the sponsor. The regular meetings are held the second Wednesday of every month at 7230 p. m. in the auditorium. Three consecutive absences will eliminate the student from membership regardless of excuse, and lack of payment of dues will also constitute a reason for dropping a member. At the beginning of the year the following officers were elected: President, Maxine Kline, vice-president, Dorothy Abbottg secretary, Charles Royer, treasurer, Don Waymire, program chairman, Shirley Smith, historian, Margaret Pflugg stage manager, David Blair.

The referee blows the whistle! There's the kickoff and the 1946-47 football season is underway. The two highlights of the season were the games with Topeka and Emporia. Ending in a 13 to 13 tie, the Topeka game was one of the best-fought games of the season. Ex- pert passing and playing was done by both teams. Ottawa showed Topeka, a larger and more experienced team, that they weren't to be pushed round. The Ottawa-Emporia game is always a thriller and is looked forward to with much enthusiasm. This year we beat our long-time rivals 20 to 0. The Spartans were unable to hold the Cyclones in either offense or defense. Much credit should be given to the Ottawa linemen for this victory. For their first game of the season, on September 20, the team journeyed to Olathe where they suffered a 6 to 2 loss. These gridiron teams seemed to be evenly matched. The boys worked hard the following week to forget their loss to Olathe and to win before the home crowd in their first home game, September 26. They outmaneuvered and outfought Effingham to annex a 33 to 0 victory. COACHING STAFF- Right: P. R. Jamison and Orlis Cox. 'Wit A if C0-CAP'l'AINS- Above: Lloyd Wolgast.

On a very muddy field, which caused a series of fum- bles and mistakes on the part of both teams, Ottawa took Paola, 31 to 12, on October 18. The Ottawa line opened large holes in the Paola line and our fast backs got through the Paola secondary. The Haskell Indians overran the Ottawa gridiron crew in a tilt played on Cook field October 24. Ward High School of Kansas City, Kas., defeated Ot- tawa, 13 to 6, in one of the tougher games of the season on November 1. The winning score was made during the last few minutes of play. In the last. game of the season the Lawrence Lions trampled the Cyclones in a 38 to 6 victory. Ottawa played Lawrence on even terms for the first quarter.

Cyclones who received their first letters this year were Bob Lantis, Jim Potts, Charles Waymire, Bill Brooks, Larry Wassmer, Douglas Rhoads, Sidney Morris, Bill Bones, Bob Lawson, Ralph Hammond and Charles Worthington. Much of this season's success goes to Coaches P. R. Jamison and Orlis Cox, who had the ability to inspire the team with that never-say-die spirit so characteristic of the Cyclones. Lloyd Wolgast and Don Waymire were elected co- captains of the 1946-47 team. We cannot give too much credit to these seniors who showed such excellent sportsmanship. Boys who play in the backfield are usually the ones who are known as the stars of the team because they have the opportunities to make the touchdowns. However, we must not forget those boys who played in the line. A team is only as strong as its line. It carries most of the load of blocking and tackling for the backfield stars. We.had a very versatile team this year. Bill Bishop played every position in the backfield where his fast running pocketed many touchdowns. John Wilson changed from tackle to fullback this year and really plowed into his man. An injury early in the season made it necessary for Lloyd Wolgast, one of the best quarterbacks of recent years, to miss several games. Two big, fast, and hard-hitting players were John Hill and Bob Lawson who were strong on defense. The sophomore class was represented on the first team by Bob Lantis, a hard-working center. Sidney Morris was small but hard-working. He was a player who hit his men and hit 'em hard. During the season, Don Waymire became one of the best linemen in this part of the state. He was very tough in defense. Jim Potts was really good at snagging passes and im- proved as the season progressed. Good punting and passing was also done by Joe Hume. One of the best guards in this part of the state was Lowell New, a hard worker who was respected by every opponent for his good sportsmanship. Earl Krause held his own well and really gave us his share of the touchdowns. FOOTBALL SQUAD FACES CAMERA-Back POW!

To stop the ball. the carriers back had to be touched with both hands by a member of the opposing team. Although this sounds very simple and easy it rarely hap- pened in actual conflict. Members of the teams have been known to come out with assorted bruises, cut and skinned places. Calisthenics was another passage in the boys' athletic life. These exercises consist of push-ups: finger push-zips. using the tips of the fingers to push the body off the floor in a triangular position, squat thrust, going up and down in a squatting position with arms outthrust, running in stride, actual running without moving, and the chin-ups. Calisthenics were performed in order to build up the mus- cles, help give better timing and coordination, and add to the general health of the students. Coach Orlis Cox has worked many long and hard hours with his gym classes to help the students prepare themselves for the largest organization of all-that of a peaceful world and life. l THE CAMERA CATCHES two senior high boys in a standing wrest- lCl'S hom and ieaoy to go.

April 18 was the day of the long awaited K. U. relays. Emporia came next on the schedule on May 22. The Cyclones traveled to Wyandotte to the Topeka-Wyandotte-Ottawa meet. The re- gional meet was on the ninth and tenth of May. The track season ended May 17 at the end of the state meets at Man- hattan and the boys were still in good shape and ready to go again for a bigger and better track squad next year. R. J.

Girls' sports season is well represented here by many different games and activities. The school has had many different phases in athletic work, beginning with basketball. Teams from each hour are chosen to represent their class in the tournament. Fifth hour, for the third year, came out as champions. ,Following basketball came volleyball, More girls are 4 44.- HAPPY CHAMPIONS OF AERIAL DARTS-Barbara Workman, Shirley Smith, Frances Higgins Kathleen McG1inchy, Georgia Kline, Virginia Enyart.

Six- teen girls made up each volleyball team. Then came aerial darts. This game calls for speed and alertness. The point of the game is to send the bird across the net in such a manner that the opposing team is unable to return it. There were some very fast and exciting games FIFTH HOUR REMAINS BASKETBALL CHAMPS-Loft to right: Maxine Kline, Dorothy Madison, Verna Lee Lantis, Madge Richard- son, Dorothy Abbott, Lois Jeanne Dick, Jean Stith, Mary Margaret Walls. .

Each of the tournaments was an elimination tournament which meant the winning team won over all hours before being declared champion. Folk dancing was a very special activity this year in both the senior high and junior high gym classes. Folk dances of many lands were learned by some of the girls, and presented in full costume for the Ottawa Skilton club. The foreign dances were Sailor's Hornpipe, Russian Cossack, Italian Tarantella, Swedish Polka, Mexican Hat Dance, the French Minuet, the Swiss Holdiridla, Dutch Dance of Hol- land. and the Highland Schottische.

A part of each year is spent in taking calisthenics for good posture. These include the duck walk, windmill, jump- ing jack, deep knee bends, arm exercises and many others. Unless practiced faithfully every morning the exercises leave quite a stiffening effect, which some of the girls found out. A few weeks were given to the fundamentals in march- ing, but since there was no gym exhibit this year, this exer- cise was not practiced too extensively. Spring brought the baseball tournament out of doors, which was fun for all. Miss Marjorie Lancaster is director of all physical education for girls. FOLK DANCINGWAS FUN-Back row: Ruth Price.

'Wal Let us follow the eye of the camera as it turns and' catches a glimpse of the boys' athletic association, known as the O club. This organization is a club open to boys who have lettered in oasketball, football, or track. The initiation of O club members is held during an assembly period when the new members are put through antics devised by the old members. The traditional O sweaters are of two types, cardigan and pull-overs, either in red or white. The trimmings are LETS SPI-ILL CYCLONESV'-O.H.S.'s peppy cheerleaders lead the student body in the Cyclone chant.

At the beginning of this year the O club had 10 old members, but during the school year new members are con- stantly being added to the group. At the end of this year there were approximately 35 members. P. RZ Jamison and Orlis Cox are the sponsors of the O club. At the beginning of each school year the student body elects the five cheerleaders for that year. Any student from a sophomore up who wishes to try out is permitted to do 'so in a joint assembly, then the students vote for the ones they think will make the best cheerleaders. The cheerleaders are in charge of the pep Chapels. They are expected to attend all the home games, and, if pos- sible, the out-of-town games. They wear the traditional school colors. red and white. Many new yells and songs were added to the original list by the cheer- leaders and students, and some were even swiped The new yells included Come On. Team. Fight, Fight Fight , Fight 'Em. Cyclones, Fight 'Em , Who's Got the Best Team in Kansas , a new way to spell Ottawa. and a dif- ferent way to do Your Pep. The new song is Cheer, Boys.

At the first regular meeting, the members were divided into seven groups, each group to be responsible for one pro- gram. Almost all of the groups decided to write original plays. The next several meetings were spent in producing these plays. The first group, under the direction of Sue Gatlin, presented a short play in two scenes based on A Date With Judy. Q g r I : g O Division No. 2 conducted a contest, between the classic and the comic in which a classic selection was read fol- lowed by a less serious one. Six selec- tions were read with the comic selections receiving the most votes from club members. Larry McGrath was in charge of this program, A Gay Nineties Review under the direction of Maurine Hansen was given which included a quartet, a short skit, and a play entitled Faint Heart Ne'er Won Fair Lady. Dick Warner directed a t'Truth or Consequences program. Other pro- grams featured a mystery play with Aldonna Bell in charge, and two pub- lished one-act plays under the direc- tion of Charles Gillette and Betty Tall- man.

This year the junior high is well represented in sports activities by a kickball, basketball, and newcomb tournament. The sports season started with the kickball tournament. Winners of each game played winners in the tournament until the best team won. This year the best team proved to be Hour I. There are 10 players on each kickball team. Basketball came next. Teams were chosen to represent each hour which is the same procedure as used in the senior high tournaments. The third hour team was champion this year. Newcomb followed the basketball season. Newcomb is the first step in volleyball, and is played by merely catching the ball and throwing it back and forth across the net instead of hitting it. Aside from these sports, the girls took part in play- BASKETBALL WINNERS OF JUNIOR HIGH-Back row: Sally Snedaker, Maurine Hansen, lla Mae Taylor, Bernice Stoffer.

All girls participated in a course of marching, calis- thenics and folk dancing during the year. Some of the junior high girls gave the Virginia Reel for the Ottawa Skillton club which is considered extra gym work. The results of rhythm work were very beneficial. Students of the seventh and eighth grade girls' gym classes were given the American Red Cross Junior Course of First Aid this year. They were graded on their record in classwork, practical work, and subject matter examinations. The practical skills related to bandaging, splinting, trans- portation, hemorrhage control, and artificial respiration. Nearly all of the students received American Red Cross Jun- ior Course certificates. Following the first aid course was a course in hygiene.

These sports were played through December, January and February to the middle of March. The seventh and eighth grade volleyball teams were taken from the different gym classes. The fourth' hour team emerged the victors in this tournament. Most of these games were played during the noon hour and activity periods the past four months. There were several wrestling champions in the various divisions. The winners and their weight divisions were: Under 80 pounds, Bill Espinosag 80 to 90 pounds, John Kra- merg 90 to 100 pounds, Robert Burnett, 100 to 110 pounds, Joe Huyett, 110 to 120 pounds, Wilbur Barnes, 120 to 135 pounds, Bill Whitakerg over 135 pounds, Leo Mealman.

They are Lee Hughs, John Lowe, Wilbur Barnes, Dale Roycr and Jim Rea. O O a the A group and 4 teams in the B group. The winner of the A group was Wilbur Barnes' team and in the B group Dale Reeder's team won. There was also a freshman C team and seventh and eighth grade A team. The players on the A team were picked as the best players on both the seventh and eighth grade teams and worked together as one team. The ninth graders played in the senior high intramural sports. Two of the freshman players on the freshman A team also played on the high school B team this winter in the interscholastic games. These boys showed up very well and there seems to be a good promise of an excellent senior high team in the future. Although not much notice of credit is given to this sport at the end of the school year, softball is a very active sport among all boys both in the junior and senior high.
