Woolridge took Mary McGauley’s place and has done a good job. These girls have worked hard, and deserve a lot of credit for “stirring-up the pep at games and pep meetings. We are sorry James Nuss’ and Wendell Siddens’ pictures do not appear with the squad. They didn’t join the club as part of the main five until after the picture had been taken.

Basketball The Blue and Gold, or the “Pirates”, as they later were called, started the season by a 13 point win over Buckley, only to slump for the next 8 games. However, when the Ford County Tourna-ment rolled around at Gibson City, Paxton went in as a “dark horse”, winning the first two games and losing the final one to Piper City, 32-30. That game with Piper will long be remembered. There were two overtime periods, and it was only in the second that one of the Piper boys “hit” on a side shot. From then until the Regional Tournament, the “Pirates” lost three games and won two. Again the odds were against them in the Regional, which was also held at Gibson City, but this time they “brought home the bacon.” This victory brought new hope for the Sectional Tournament, held at Danville the following week. The “Pirates” lost a close game to Danville by three points. The “Pirates” ended the season with 13 losses and 10 wins, but their total points were 721 against 664. The lettermen for this year’s basketball squad were: Lee Rowe, Wilbur Ogle, Wendell Siddens, George Fox, James Nuss, and Vincent Purn. Last, but not least, we must not forget the cheerleaders. They were: Joan Archer, Mary McGauley, and Doris Ryberg. Ruth
