SHELDON Superintendent It is no accident that the Prescott schools are the finest in Arizona today, for the spark behind the whole system, Don R, Sheldon, has shown courageous and progressive forethought in the planning and manage- ment of the schools of Prescott. To this man, our fine leader and friend, we dedicate the ’48-’49 Hassayamper. Mr. Sheldon, Superintendent of the Prescott schools, has had a rich past filled with service for others. He attended Pitts College in Pittsburg, Kansas, graduated from the University of Arizona and received his Masters’ degree at Stanford University. His first teaching posi- tion was in Gilbert, Arizona. After a short time, Mr. Sheldon went to Holbrook, Arizona, where he served as the superintendent of the Holbrook school system. He then came to Prescott to fill the position which he is now holding. During the seventeen years he has been in Prescott, Mr. Sheldon has done a great deal to im- prove the Prescott schools and teaching system. He also has had the distinction of being a past president of the Arizona Education Association. Mr. Sheldon’s educational record extends beyond the realm of Prescott, for while serving as Captain in the military government department of the United States Army, he helped to set up schools in Munich, Germany. a Udrm lustration and cmcukt DON R. SHELDON RUSSELL A. RAMAGE Superintendent i « Principal s tdm iniitra tion This year, as in years past, the administration has done an excellent job of directing the school system in making it outstanding in the state of Arizona. They have co-operated whole-heartedly for the betterment of the school and the activities. They have shown very good judgment in the fine selection of teachers. The students owe a great deal to the education and activities made possible by our Superintendent, Principal, and the members of the school board. DL Sck oo GEORGE F. BACKE Music Supervisor WALDO L.

They have willingly and freely contributed their time and effort in helping the students with studies and extra-cur- ricular activities. Although there are times for serious- ness, the students find that the teachers also like to relax and enjoy the lighter side of life. The students find that they get to know the teachers better through clubs and different organizations after school. The teachers must really have what it takes to im- part knowledge to the students. Prescott High has won the President's Cup and the University Cup of Arizona more than any other school in the state. This is really something of which to be proud. Hats off” to our hardworking teachers. LOUISE BROWN English ETHEL CARY Girls' Physical Ed., C.A.A. Sponsor.

A great deal of time and money has been spent in making the buildings and grounds look so nice. It is quite a job to clean up after 425 students every day. The students of Prescott High wish to express thanks to the custodians for their diligence and faithfulness throughout this year. They make this a school to which we are proud to go. 6 PHYLLIS SAMUELSON Secretary MALCOLM HARDEN President DICK ODAIR Vice-President SHIRLEY SCOTT Yell Leader JOHN BOWERS Athletic Manager BOB McNARIE Advertising Manager MR.

The council, in order to get more done, has been divided up into several different committees to work on special projects. Though the council had a time for work they also had a time for play. This was established by the fact that everyone had lots of fun at the state student council convention in Flagstaff, December 3 and 4. The council feels that without the help and guidance of M. J. “Pop McNarie, they would not have been able to accomplish half as much as they did. MARVIN HORNER EDDIE SIMPSON BARBARA STEPHENS BOBBIE BILL MELVIN McLERNON EMMETT WARREN PETE VAN NESS 61 Eoi a, 'anceri Pat Bast and Alfred McCoy were chosen as the best dancers of the Senior class. To be selected for this title is an honor which they both deserve. We know that you will agree if you have ever seen them do their stuff on the dance floor. Pat is outstanding in everything she does which accounts for her dancing ability. She is a member of the F.H.A., G.A.A., Quill and Scroll, National Honor Society, 15 Club, Student Council and many other school functions. Pat also has the great responsibility which comes with the Editorship of our annual. She had roles in both the Senior and Junior class plays. Alfred, like most good dancers, is also interested in athletics. He lettered in football this year. He was also elected president of the Blue Jackets and is a Student Council member. He had major parts in both the Senior and Junior class plays. Other points considered in choosing the best dancers were personality and good looks. Besides being attrac- tive they must watch their posture and the way they hold their partner. Pat and Alfred are able to do this without any effort. m 'unciani In this year's poll to discover the outstanding students from the Senior class, the honor of best musicians went to Bette Del Rae and George Scholey. Bette is a talented pianist and frequently plays in public and school functions. Bette is the accompanist for the girls' trio, and has been active in the annual Music Festival for the past three years. Bette really deserves this title, as anyone who has heard her play will agree. She is very versatile, in that she can play classical and popular music with grace. George Scholey is equally outstanding in the field of music. He plays the bass clarinet, and regular clarinet, and has been a member of the band for the last four years. He has played in the assemblies and public func- tions, to prove his ability. In the Music Festival George played a bass clarinet solo and received a Superior rating, which is the highest honor offered Last February George was entered in the Sacramento Music Festival. Hats off to two of Prescott Senior High School's most outstanding musicians. The two students who were chosen this year for best school spirit are Shirley Scott and Marvin Hor- ner. Both Shirley and Marvin have participated in many extra-curricular activities all during their high school years. Shirley was chosen assistant yell leader during her Junior year, and elected head yell leader during her Senior year. Her enthusiasm in the position of yell leader won much popularity for her among the students. She belongs to the National Honor Society, 15 Club, G.A.A., is secretary of the F.H.A , and is the Activities Editor of the annual. Shirley also took part in our class's Junior and Senior plays. Marvin too is deserving of the title Best School Spirit. He is a Letterman, a member of the Stu- dent Council, Blue Jackets Club, National Honor Society and is an officer of the Rifle Club. Marvin was in both the Senior and Junior plays. His friendly manner and magnetic personality have made him one of the most popular boys in Prescott High School. WJittiesl The two students chosen by this year’s student body as the wittiest in the school are Carolyn Marsh and Jim Harvey. Carolyn is well known for her part in the girls’ trio. Her wit has made her well liked by all and there is seldom a dull moment when she's around. She is a newswriter for the Badger and is the business man- ager of the Hassayamper. She is president of the local Quill and Scroll Club, and belongs to the Yellow Jackets, G.A.A., and National Honor Society. She displayed her great sense of humor when she played the detecatiff in a play presented in the '46 Sophomore assembly. She also kept the audience laugh- ing when she had the rollicking role of Rheba, the negro maid, in “You Can’t Take It With You. Jim is well known for his clever remarks which are liable to be heard any place around school, or wherever he happens to be. He lettered in football this year, and is on the varsity basketball team. He is also a member of the Student Council and is on the social committee. Jimmy's part in the Senior play, The Thirteenth Chair,” was not a star role, but he stole several scenes when he played the dumb and comical policeman. Jim is also the assistant boys’ sports editor of the Hassayamper and is a member of the Blue Jackets Club. 21 Wo,t JUJ, Succeed Two of the most deserving students of the Senior class this year received this worthy title, and we are very proud of Ruby Barrett and Bill Melvin, who richly deserve this honor. They are both well-known and liked by all. Ruby is an outstanding student. Besides holding down a job outside of school she belongs to the G.A.A., is the Art Editor on the Badger staff, and is an Assistant Art Editor on the Annual staff. She is the Student Council alternate for her homeroom and belongs to Quill and Scroll. Ruby is an extremely talented artist and we are sure that someday she will rise to great fame. Bill is a new student this year, coming from Madi- son, Wisconsin. He has made many friends for he has a very likable personality and a good sense of humor. Bill belongs to the Lettermen's Club, he is president of his homeroom, he belongs to the Annual staff, was in Why the Chimes Rang” and was on the stage crew of The Thirteenth Chair.” The Senior class is proud to have these two as fellow members of the class of '49 and know that they will succeed in everything they undertake. d3eit $tl (eted The two students selected this year as the best athletes of Prescott High were Joan Kittell and Mal- colm Harden. This honor is a difficult one to achieve and takes considerable effort on the part of the students. Joan has long been outstanding in all sports and is one of the few girls ever to receive her six-inch letter in her Junior year. She is president of the G.A.A. and a member of the Yellow Jackets, F.H.A., and National Honor Society. In her Junior year she won second place in badminton singles in Northern Arizona. Joan's scholarship is outstanding and she leads her class in grades. Malcolm, our Student Body President, has been an outstanding athlete in Prescott High School for the last three years. He has made letters all three years in basketball, football, and track and has shown superior ability in all those sports. He is a member of the Let- termen’s Club, Blue Jackets Club and many other organizations in the Senior High. Truly, he is a boy we may all be proud of knowing. 22 Walt PopJe The title of most popular seniors goes to two very deserving people. They are Phyllis Samuelson and Den- ford Pitts. Throughout her high school career, Phyllis has taken an active part in all of the various school activities. She is the secretary of the student body, a member of the “15 Club, Quill and Scroll, Future Homemakers of America, Girls' Athletic Association and Officials Club, Yellow Jackets and she is also the Associate Editor of the Hassayamper. Phyllis’ greatest recognition came when she was elected Carnival Queen and had the distinction of appearing as one of the two runners-up in the Foot- ball Queen competition. In addition to her many school and extra-curricular activities, Phyllis always has time for a friendly smile. This, along with her sweet personality, friendly man- ner, cheerfulness, courtesy, sportsmanship, and interest in all about her, have been important in making her well known and liked by all. If there is any boy in the entire Senior class who will some day become President of the United States it will be Denford Pitts, our most popular boy. This tall, good-looking senior has been recognized by all his classmates as a natural leader, for he has been elected an officer of his class in every one of his high school terms. His resourcefulness, dependability, and initiative have held him high in the esteem of all. teachers and students alike. Denford received the distinct honor of being elected the Carnival King this year. This title is an explanation in itself of Denford, for he has truly a king-like personality. Denford also excels in sports. He has earned a letter in football, basketball, and track. One of Denford's highest ideals is good sportsmanship and he displays it in all of these sports in addition to his everyday encounters. He is an active member of the Blue Jackets Club. Denford's thoughtfulness, nice manners, friendly smile, neat appearance, and all-around personality have made him a favorite and a friend to all. 23 m emonam “Grieve not that I die young. Is it not well To pass away e're life hath lost its brightnessV The senior high school was saddened by the sudden death of a sopho- more boy. Robert Kachnic, on February 2. 1949. In the short time he was with us he was active in school activities and made many friends. The members of the senior class are indebted to their officers for the great effort they put forth and the splendid results they achieved in this, our last year of high school — to the end that this has been the shortest and most enjoyable year of our education.

Let's listen to a Hassayamper recording, starring the Junior class of '50. Put the recorgi on, and hear about our ’past activities. Under the competent leadership of Mr. Weller, we, the Junior class, started our playnights. This form of class meeting brought large turnouts to play volleyball and help our offi- cers with the class business. We sponsored a gay fall dance early in the season. Everyone came in his best bib and tucker” and had a good time. Busy committees put on the Junior banquet using a Christmas theme. Rupert Clover was the toastmaster and Dr. H. T. Soufhworth was guest speaker. The Baker triplets sang White Christmas and Lee Hicker- son was invited to produce some black magic. In the spring, under the direction of Mrs. Ethel Tyson, we gave a very successful play. Each one in the cast portrayed his part like troupers. Decked in new spring garb, and in a festive spirit, we had a wonder- ful time at the Junior-Senior Ban- quet. To say goodbye to our friends, the Seniors, we held the traditional Junior Prom in the redecorated gym. Pastels against the background of dark suits made a perfect setting for that night. We say goodbye for now but listen again next year when we will record some more activities in our year of '50.

We of the Sophomore class have nothing but praise for the Senior High. Our activities started off with a bang at the Ice Breakers Dance followed the next day by the initiation at the P.” We were a tired, washed out, or should we say white-washed group of underclassmen, that came staggering into Prescott after our hike back from the “P. One of the most memorable occasions of the year was the Christmas Hop. We were all on our best behavior, and watching our etiquette at our first formal. A dance and assembly were sponsored by our class during the last part of the school year and we were proud of the success of both. If our Junior and Senior years are as much fun as our Sophomore year has been, we will be a satisfied class of Seniors in 51.

C � era v r o • v, The Blue Jackets is a boys’ pep club and although it was formed only a few years ago it has become one of the school’s most outstanding clubs. The club’s main purpose is to promote better school spirit among the boys. The officers are: First row, President, Alfred McCoy; Treasurer, Jack Reuter; second row, Vice-President, Merle Allen; Secretary, Bill Esser. }uture JJomemaherS of m erica The F.H.A. is a club formed to further the high school girls’ interest and knowledge in the field of homemaking. During the year they have sponsored many activities such as their annual dance and selling popcorn at the football games. The officers are: President, Peggy Saxby I not pictured); Vice-President, Joan Black; Secretary,, Shirley Scott; Treasurer, Nancy Rodarte. Would you like to check out a book? That magazine is over on the middle shelf. These could be the voices of any of the seventeen members of the library club answering the never ending questions of the rest of the student body. Each of the members chose a project at the first of the year on which to work. Cold and silver pins were awarded to those who finished the projects. These projects are done in addition to the regular routine work. Officers are: President, Betty Yost; Vice-President, Robert Church; Secretary, Betty Jane Jones. 67 ft. CU The Rifle Club was formed to teach the young people how to handle and shoot firearms. After much tedious practice and many rounds of ammunition some of the members have become expert marksmen. This club is under the able direction of Mr. C. J. Bender and Bill Stuart, one-time State Champion. The officers are: President, Paul Rice (standing) ; Secretary, Betty Yost; Treasurer, Marvin Horner. SL Ctd With more snow than ever the ski club has been participating in many more activities than any time previously. The club is very fortunate in having Miss Genevive McDermid as instructor. The Preskimos have great expectations of times to come next year. They have already participated in several local meets, and they are planning to enter the Thunder Bird and some out-of-state meets. Although the members are mostly beginners, they show great promise in becoming better and better skiers. The officers are: President, Rupert Clover; Vice-President, Bob Strothers; Secretary, Roberta McLemon. 68 The club provides a lot of good exercise and fun for everyone. The Ushers and Usherettes have been very helpful through the years. They help at every school function such as class plays and concerts. Everyone would like to thank them for their splendid cooperation. 69 The girls’ pep club, the Yellow Jackets, has done a swell job this year of promoting better school spirit. Below are some pictures of the initiation, the club’s main event of the year. Officers are: President. Margaret Frederickson (not pictured) ; Vice- President, Rosemary Monreal; Secretary, Jean Black; Treasurer, Barbara Stephens. 70 Under the capable supervision of Mr. Edmund Lewis the annual staff has worked harder than ever this year to produce a bigger and better yearbook for 1949. Pat Bast, the never-tiring editor, was sometimes strained to the breaking point before all material was finally turned in to her. None of the work could have been done without the splendid cooperation of the whole staff and all the others who have helped in different ways. Of course no annual would be complete without a capable business manager and Carolyn Marsh certainly has done a fine job for ours. The many hours of hard work have really paid off in this annual. The staff hard at work. Business Manager, Carolyn Marsh; Editor, Pat Bast. 71 Working on the Badger. The bi-weekly Badger rolled off the press eighteen times this year, and a better paper you’ve never read. The whole staff has a right to be proud of its fine paper. Every issue required hard work by Marilyn Marsh, the editor, and the business manager, Dorothy Henry. The stories had to be in and the copy written for deadlines. The Badger is a member of the Quill and Scroll. National Scholastic Press Association, and the Pacific Slope School Press, which it has just joined this year. We all owe a vote of thanks to Mr. Edmund Lewis, the Badger sponsor. Business Manager, Dorothy Henry; Editor, Marilyn Marsh. 72 •s The fine old tradition of painting the P started off a long list of '48-'49 activities. This event is an annual one and is always met with great enthusiasm by the Seniors and reluctance by the Sophomores. First, the Sophs met their masters for the day at the Junior High School at the dawn-breaking hour of 9 o’clock. Then followed the long trek to the “P.” If, during the task of carrying water and lime to the seemingly far-off peak of the mountain, the underclassmen dallied, they were reminded by broom-wielding Seniors that there was no food at the end of the day for the lazy. Finally, at the end of the long day, (but with wonderful, white results) the call for chow sounded. Beans, wieners, and all the trimmings, plus cokes and donuts, reinforced the Soph’s weary and empty bodies. The initiation proved to be great fun for all and the “P” was whiter than was expected. The Sophomores are to be congratulated on their fine job and wonderful sportsmanship. 73 The Coronation! C arniua i The Parade Food for sale Fun for all Every year the businessmen of Prescott sponsor a carnival held in the Junior High School gymnasium for all Prescott students. There are colorfully decorated booths around the gym floor, and on the second floor, at which you can attend thrilling plays, dances, and mys- terious ghost houses. At other booths you can take your chance at darts, throw-ball, roulette, or if you are hungry you may buy hotdogs, hamburgers, pop, punch, ice cream, and popcorn. These booths are sponsored and run by the homerooms of both the Junior and Senior High Schools. The big moment of the event is at 10:00 P.M. when the annual coronation of the King and Queen takes place. This year the King and Queen were Denford Pitts and Phyllis Samuelson. The attendants were: Jack Barbee, Pat Bast, Alfred McCoy, and Shirley Scott. 74 King Denford and Queen Phyllis. Queen, Maxine Marler. Attendants, Pat Bast and Phyllis Samuelson. Foot- ball Captain, Jack Barbee. Homecoming this year was a very special event, and much time was spent in preparing for it. The highlight was when Maxine Marler was chosen Queen and crowned in Homecom- ing assembly. Jack Barbee was then hailed as Captain for the ’48- 49 year. At sundown a huge pep rally was held down in the center of town. All eyes were on the P” mountain, which was lit up by flares set out by the Bluejackets. After the rally everybody made a mad dash for the stadium where the Prescott Badgers were tangling with the Amphitheater Panthers in a hard-fought grid classic. The special event at half-time was when Queen Maxine received a present from the members of the football squad. This homecoming will long be remembered by the students of Prescott High. 75 P. J4. S. Dividers Those eight lovely girls in the pictures are (from left to right in top picture): Dixie Brewer, Barbara Sleeper, Bobbie McLernon, Nancy Madison, Merlyn Weaver, Mary Ellen Reggin, Betty Jo Nash, and Carol Lewi. They are some of the finest twirlers our school has ever had and everyone is proud of them. It took many hours of hard practice to achieve the intricate feats which really made the people at the football and basket- ball games look up and take notice. They put that old rule practice makes perfect to work. Mrs. Irene Hallier was the Twirlers’ sponsor and she did a fine job of getting them a place to practice and working with them through the season. Below are the Twirlers in their new pill boxes. These hats were purchased for the girls by the school. 76 Cheerleaders from left to right: Paul Rice, Shirley Scott, Leola Scott, Jack Reuter. Vocal blasts from home bleachers supporting the Badgers were under the direction of our able cheerleaders, Shirley Scott, Paul Rice, Leola Scott and Jack Reuter. They led the Badger supporters in yelling until further utterance was impossible. Shirley was elected by the student body this year after serving as assistant cheer- leader last year. She chose her sister Leola, Paul and Jack as assistants. The yell- leaders have followed the team to out-of-town games and have led many a Snake Line” in the pep rallies. They have shown and encouraged school spirit throughout the year. They have done a bang-up job of cheering that will not soon be forgotten. Gteerleadi er5 77 I Director—Mr. George Backe CLru CL With Mr. George Backe being able to donate his full time to the chorus classes, much more could be accomplished. The Vesper Service was as beautiful this year as ever with the voices of the mixed group blending to tell of the first Christmas. This is the annual affair that seems to be a favorite of the townspeople as well as the P.H.S. student body and faculty. The Boys' and Girls’ Glee Club did outstanding work at the Musical Festival at Flagstaff. Great praise has been given them for their per- formances in many school and civic affairs throughout the year. •Senior THE THIRTEENTH CHAIR This year’s senior play was the suspense-packed drama. The Thir- teenth Chair. ’ The scene was the home of a wealthy urban family, the Roscoe Crosby’s. An Irish medium was asked to hold a seance for the Crosby s guests, and amid the groans of the medium a strange murder was committed. The baffling mystery was solved at the end of the play, when the murderer, one of the Crosby’s wealthy guests, confessed his guilt. Those in the cast were: Maxine Marler, Alfred McCoy, Jack Barbee, Pat Bast, Dixie Purviance, Marilyn Marsh, Jack Dorsey, Marvin Homer, Shirley Scott, Joyce Melvin, Myrna Kennedy, Dave Ford. Dwight Baker, Bob Struther, Jim Harvey, Charles Yost and John Weston. MfiRilini ■np 79 Under the leadership of Mr. Dahl Merrell the band has made great progress this year. The smartness of new uniforms in the precision marching routines caused extra enthusiasm among the attendants at this year’s games. The band, as well as the team, has proved its worthiness in the Class A division. The band reached its present standing only by long hours of practice and drill before and after school. The band played for all home football games, and several basket- ball games. Among the out-of-town performances, the band played at the New Year’s Salad Bowl game in Phoenix. The band at a foot- ball game. 80 Prescott came home triumphant this year from the Salad Bowl football game, with the trophy for the best theme and float, and also the best prize of all, the queen. Pat Bast, a senior in our school, was selected from among 25 other girls from different parts of Arizona to become the 1949 Salad Bowl Queen. The float and band theme was the Navajo Indians. Prescott’s band was dressed and made-up as members of this tribe. Many observers believed the band and also the queen were real Indians. The float showed a small Navajo boy dressed in rags, hovering over a feeble flame trying to. keep warm. SaLcl BoJ Pat went by the Smoki name Adzan Neani (pretty girl, to us palefaces). She wore the costume of the Smoki people, plus beautiful silver and turquoise jewelry. Her identity was not disclosed until half-time of the game, when she rose from the center of a huge vegetable float representing the Salad Bowl. Pat received a trip to Hollywood, complete with screen test, with all expenses paid. 81 Directed by Mrs. Ethel Tyson. The Divine Flora, a scintillating comedy, was presented by the Junior Class on March 25, 1949. Through the talent and hard work shown by the cast and the production staff, the play was acclaimed as an outstanding success. The cast consisted of: Bill Esser, Beth Peterson, Dennis West, Jack Reuter, Joanne Black, Dorothy Head, Charles Davis, Harolyn Moore, Norma Whittum, Milton Frisbie, Eddie Simpson. Zoellen Murray, Roberta McLemon, Mary Ellen Reggin, Jane Horsley. Ray Kirk. Jim McGahn, Joan Whitney, Paul Rice. Roger Hawes, Betty Jo Nash, Wanda Wells, and Nancy Madiscn. Synopsis of the play: Etta Dean, daughter of an advertising executive, is a plain, pathetic figure. Her father, unknown to Etta, offers jobs to Randy Pryor and Buzz Rafferty if they will transform his daughter into a glamour girl. Etta cooperates wholeheartedly with the boys, hoping to win her father’s affection. They change her name to Flora, and in the ensuing rollicking comedy finally succeed in turning out a self-assured, well-dressed girl. She goes over big with everybody including her father. But when Flora firfds out that he hired the boys, much to his chagrin, she becomes very disillusioned. However, it all ends happily. 02 The master minds of journalism, behind the scenes of the Badger and Hassayamper, who write up the Activities of the Senior High, are recognized each year by the granting of membership in Quill and Scroll. Members of the P.H.S. chapter of Quill and Scroll are those journalists whose work ranked high enough to merit their acceptance. This organization is active among high schools throughout the country. Its pur- pose is to acknowledge good journalistic achievements and to improve school publica- tions and student journalists. The present officers are: Carolyn Marsh, president; John Weston, vice-president; Pat Bast, secretary. The members include: Pat Bartlett, Ruby Barrett, Robert Burnham, Marilyn Marsh, Beth Peterson, Phyllis Samuelson, and Ernie Rcdarte. cApian 5 The Thespian Club is the honorary club of the school, which was organized this year, for the purpose of promoting dramatics and keeping alive the fine spirit of drama groups in Prescott High. The new members are chosen for their ability and interest in dramatics. Many outstanding functions have been sponsored by this hard-working group. The charter members are: Top row: Miss Lillian Savage, sponsor; Jim Manley. David Ford. John Weston. Marvin Horner. Mrs. Ethel Tyson, sponsor. Second row: Alfred McCoy. Joyce Melvin, Pat Bast.

Mr. Robert G. Hatch, the shop teacher, was happy to have been able to conduct classes in the larger building with new equipment. The size of the rooms and the color are great improvements, but the predominant factor in this new addition is, of course, the equipment used. Much of the equipment is new but some was purchased from war surplus. Some of it has been stored by the school for some time, awaiting a place in the new shop. All in all, the new metals and auto shop, with equipment valued at more than $10,000, is very nice, and a great improvement for Senior High. The school system is very proud of the new shop and of the new opportunities it will offer to the students. 05 Senior High had many fine assemblies this year. Pictured on this page are scenes from a few of them. Starting with the top row, from left to right are: Acting and Productions class play. Faculty assembly.

Rupert Glover—No butter- fingers here. Alfred McCoy—This boy won’t be moved. 9� Here is a team that never gave up from the start to the finish. Prescott’s team went into its season with only one starter from last year. Although hindered by fre- quent injuries through the season our team never lost the ’’never say die spirit.’’ While our team did not roll on to victory in the first year of class A” competition, the boys were in there all the way. The manner in which the student body supported the team, win or lose, presented the Can Do spirit that any team would like to have u£!£,kr--+ t behind it. 09 Jack Barbee, Captain” — He made the decisions Bill Kalember — Lots of Fullback Malcolm Harden — Small but powerful Prescott was on the losing end of almost every game, but the team was green and ended up the season playing pretty good football. Although we were outscored. we stopped many a driving attack that we came up against. This year’s season gave a lot of experience to the boys that will be playing next year. Ex- perience is the best teacher and this year’s team makes for a better team next fall. 90 Although undermanned, Prescott’s team played a homecoming game with only the first string and a few substitutions, but there was never a letdown in the game. No school could have been complimented more on sportsmanship than ours, for the team and cheering section showed exceptionally good spirit throughout the season. The team next year will have this same drive and with the experience received this year wili be better able to challenge our class A” opponents. 01 Oh my gosh Stanley Waitman — “Next year” Druie Lovingood — “Utility man Ernie Rodarte — Dependable guard” Prescott’s team was somewhat hindered a little by the type of field they had to practice on, but with a turf field next fall they will be able to compete much better with the Class A teams with which they are scheduled. With renewed hope for a better season than the previous year, the 1949-50 football team will go into the season with eleven returning let- termen. Also a greal deal of experience from this year’s season will count. 92 These boys deserve a great deal of credit for helping to develop a Class A team for Prescott High. They stayed out and took the hard knocks and received no glory on Friday night. The B” Squad played Seligman’s and Flagstaff’s junior varsity and Jerome's varsity. These boys will be playing good football next year because of the experience received this year. junior 93 Members of the basketball squad are pictured (from left to right), in the top row: Malcolm Harden, Ed Montoya, Coach Lester Lange. Joe Perez. Dick Gallegos; In the second row: Jim Harvey, Stanley Waitman, Robert Forndra, Tommy Southworth, Merle Allen, and Denford Pitts. Entering into class “A” competition for the first time in the school's history, the Prescott Badgers were lacking in reserve strength and height, and although the Badgers won only three games all season, they showed a lot of improvement which came from long hours of hard work. The one class A victory which they won came in the tournament from the Glendale Cardinals, 36-29. Prescott hopes to be among the top teams next year as they have five returning letter- men who have become a fine unit working together. Other games won by the Prescott cagers were from the St. Mary's Knights, 38-36, and the Clarkdale Wolves, 57-26. Coach Lange stressed sportsmanship and good teamwork during the season. 94 Jim Harvey — Forward, Hon. Co-Captain Denford Pitts — Center I Eddie Montoya — Guard Joe Perez — Guard. Hon. Co-Captain The boys shown on this page are the team members that made up the Varsity Basketball team. These boys showed a lot of improvement toward the end of the basketball season and when they lost, they were losing their games by one and two points, and then it was only in the final minute of play. All of these boys showed good sportsmanship while playing and more than that they took a loss on the chin like men and always had that “never- say-die” spirit. Malcolm Harden — Forward “E” SV,J Ea,ULJt First row: Mgr. David Duran, Johnny Gaboldon, Ben Gill, Norman Wooten, Stanley Whittum, Newell Porter, Dick Boyer. Second row: Elvin Burks, David Lange, Gene Hearn, Coach Miller, David Prince, Don Sheldon, Bob Nelson. This year the Prescott Junior Varsity, consisting of all underclassmen, worked and trained together to become a fine unit of players. Every night during the season the J. V.’s” could be seen practicing under the supervision of Coach Cliff Miller at the armory along with the main squad. Alternating players between the Varsity and Junior Varsity kept Coach Miller always working in a new combination but he always managed to have good success. The J. V.'s” won games from Cottonwood, Jerome, St. Mary’s and Flagstaff. They lost to Mesa, Phoenix Union, North Phoenix, Glendale. Amphitheater, Yuma, and Selig- man. Coach Miller expects quite a few of his boys to hold down positions on next year’s varsity and from the looks of this year’s squad they should succeed in most of their schedule.

The returning track lettermen this year were: Bill Kalember, Jack Barbee, and Malcolm Harden. This year the track season started out with a large number of able competition coming out to compete against our class A’’ opponents. They had weight men, jumpers, and runners. After many hours of hard practicing at the armory and on the track they were ready to compete in the scheduled track meets at which they were quite successful. 97 JUMPERS Puttin’ the shot First row: N.

The track was in good condition this year and it probably is better than any in Northern Arizona. The team had much competitive spirit and were pretty evenly matched in their events. The Junior High team has been practicing at our track and promises a fine up-coming team for the future. -a First row: B. Gill, N. Wooten, B. Kalember, A. McCoy. Second row: G. Hearn, H. Stuart, D.

The Ciris’ Athletic Association, under the supervision of Miss Ethel Gary, has completed another year of activities in girls’ sports. The remodeling that was being done on the gym limited the amount of sports that the C. A. A. girls could take this year. Even with this hindrance there were many four-inch and six-inch letter winners. lOO Each year the C.A.A. offers competitive sports in which each girl can earn points for a letter. The four-inch letter is the reward for two years of par- ticipation in C.A.A. sports. To win a six-inch letter, the highest award of the C.A.A., a girl must prove outstanding abil- ity in the following sports: Table tennis singles and dou- bles, archery, badminton singles and doubles, basketball, volley- ball, baseball and hiking.
