If it takes a nose for news then the penwig- glers of the journalism class have what it takes. . . . Carolyn Walker, versatile news- woman, sparked the P. H. S. news hounds' hectic, fast-moving year. On the job from crack of dawn to the last 13 steps of school time, these word-artists pounded the old rickety type- writer to a glorious Badger year. Mary Bobo, blond spitfire, successfully held down the job of associate editor. Merrill Wind- sor, go-getter of news and rewrite man, filled the berth of news editor. Sherman Payne and Harriet Smith laid 'em in the aisles with their humorous features. Seen at every sport, always on the alert, fast-moving Joe Love thrilled sports fans with headline sport news. Norman Math- ews, the veteran circulation manager, was al- ways wide awake and on the job. The following held their ears to the ground and did better than justice to reportorial duties: In the top row are Jim Cox, Marilyn Chute, Doris Garberich, Jim Martin, Merrill Windsor, Harriet Smith, Mr. Cox, Georgette Cruickshank, Sher- man Payne, Mary Bobo, Mary Ethel Theobald. The bottom row includes Jack Thompson, Joe Love, Carolyn Walker, Augustine Rodarte, Nor- man Mathews. Editor-in-chief Carolyn Walker smiles at you on the left. A IIJIM!Ell STIFF

Kex (irOVfN llol Mcticrr Waging offensives on far-flung fronts, the Badger gridiron machine went over the top in six of eight encounters and thus wrote the 1941 campaign into the books as highly success- ful. Buckeye, Clarkdale, Flagstaff, Kingman, and Tempe were the unlucky victims to fall before the Prescott juggernaut, while Glendale and Jerome alone derailed the victory express. Starting their schedule in mid-season form, the Badgers battered a favored Buckeye eleven, 12-0, in the toughest opener in years. On the fol- lowing week-end the high-riding locals found too much opposition in the Glendale Cardinals, losing to the Red Birds, 21-0. Making their debut on the home gridiron in their tussle with the Jerome Muckers, over-the-hill rivals, the blue-and-gold clads were handed their second-cmd- last setback. The score was 13-6. Bouncing back from this defeat the vengeful Badgers landed on their feet and turned their wrath on a spunky Flagstaff outfit to trounce them by a 26-6 count. Clarkdale was next to get the axe, in a 12-0 pounding. Winslow furnished the meat for the Badgers fourth win and Kingman yielded with reluctance in an 18-0 skirmish. The team then finished the season like a comet coming to rest, defeating their traditional southland rivals, Tempe's Buffaloes, 13-12. Player of the year was big 210 lb. captain and center, Donald Corbitt, who gained All-State recognition in this his senior year, the second on the team. He was outstanding by his ability to diagnose enemy players, and by being in the right place at the right time. Martin Alexander, the Badger's line smashing fullback, ended his gridiron career in the enviable position of the team's highest individual scorer. Clifford Chapman played his first year at guard but was put out of action by a severe injury sustained in the Glendale game. Bill Cheek's 196 lbs, filled the tackle spot amply in this his second year as a letterman. He is a junior. Rex Groves fast and tough blocking back shifted from end and has another year in the offing. Bill Lawrence a junior wingman played his second year at that position. Jimmy Metzger hard-charging end bows out this year. Michael Mignella showed great pro- mise until falling victim to the injury jinx. He will be back in the backfield next season. Tough, scrappy Jose Garcia played his first year as substitute guard and will probably be
