Parker ran its consecutive string of victories to five before yielding to an opponent. Two losses were suffered and then again the victory march reached seven before another defeat was taken. All in all, fourteen games were won and five lost for a winning percentage of .737. Parker finished the league with eight victories and two defeats, thus capturing the league title for the first time in the history of the school. Parker defeated Blue Hound 32 to 14 in the first rou d of the oou ty tournament. Pleasanton, who was idle the first night, took Parker out of the running for the county championship by winning 56 to 28. In the consolation game, Parker again was subdued. This time Prescott was winner by a 32 to 28 score. Parker had previously defeated Prescott in league play, once by one point and once by two points. Parker entered the regional tournament at Kansas City in the Class A division. They were defeated by Washington Rural High 23 to 22 in an overtime game. The boys did not play their usual game, they seemed to be lost on the large floor.

5 i I Thirty-six boys responded to Coach Jilka's call for football candidates. Since this was Coach Jllka's first year at Parker, everyone was interested in what he might do in the way of winning. Eleven lettermen were among the squad of thirty-six boys that reported for football. with these boys as a nucleus, Coach Jilka built a team, who,when the season closed, had won four games, lost three, and tied one. Westphalia was the first victim to the tune of 21 to O. Playing on the local field, every member of the squad got into the line-up. Touchdowns were made by Stocklin, Barnett and Cockram. In the second game of the season at LaCygne, Parker made plenty of yardage, but was unable to cross the goal line but once. Blue lound,playing here, gave Parker its first defeat. The game was closer than the score indicated. On October 15 two teams of equal caliber met at Parker and after forty-eight minutes of hard play were still equal. The game ended in a 0 to O tie. Both Wellsville and Parker had an opportunity to score once as each had the ball on the five yard line, but in both cases the defense strengthened and prevented a score. In a game that was well played by Parker, Pleasanton took the long end of a 12 to 7 score. The game ended when, with the score 7 to 6 in favor of Parker, thirty seconds to play and fourth down and goal to gc, Pleasanton completed a pass over the goal line to give them the game. Barnett, Husted, Schriver and Goodall, all regulars were out with injuries in this game. The following week, Parker playing a good game in the rain and mud, defeated Louisburg 7 to O. Stocklin, who did a remarkable job of carrying the ball in the mud, went over in the first half for the only touchdown of the game. Franse made the extra point by plunging across from the two yard line. This was the home-coming game and a large crowd was on hand to see the mud battle. Hound City was winner of the Parker- Mound City game at Mound City- P6 to 0, Th, Mound City team who were eventually the County uchampsn, varied their attack to run up a large score. ' In a postponed game and also the final game of the season and the last game for the seniors, Parker made a touchdown on the first play to beat Kincaid 7 to O on the home field. A pass to Cockram was com- pleted to the fifty yard line and he legged it the extra point to make the score 7 to 0.

The first call for track brought thirty-five ambitious boys onto the field and track to begin training for a hard schedule that lay before them this spring. H While Albert Rues is the only letterman of last season, several of the boys have been point winners ln past seasons and at the time this book goes to press, which is before any meet of the season, it appears that F. R. H. S. should have a team that will give a good account of itself. Rah! Rah! Rah! Cn, Parker Hi! And did Parker Hi go on ---- particularly during the basketball season. This was due largely to the faithful and willing cheerleaders. Gladys Stroup, our head cheerleader, proved to be a very capable leader for the other cheer leaders-Carl Peterman and Veda Fern Wlnelsno, who ln turn proved very capable of leading the student body. l Our cheer leaders attended every game, yelled, and made us vsll until we were hoarse. Of course we dldn't mind this because it usually helped to win the games. So in the future, if these competent cheerleaders go about ovsrythlng as they have gone about this business of cheerleading, we feel that much success will be theirs. 26
