Considering the 1936 football season from the standpoint- of points scored agaiDS'G the opponent it looms up as the most successful season that the Blue Jays have ever experienced. The offense this season was the most powerful one that has ever ben seen in action at Raytown. The defense was weak at times but considering all of the new material which was in the lineup they performed their job as well as could be expected. The Blue Jays could be counted upon to score against any strong team and they have the distinct honor of being the only team in the Little Six Conference which scored on the powerful Red Raiders from Pembroke-Country Day. Several of the boys can be credited with excellent playing throughout the season and two of them were rewarded by being placed on the All-Star selections. John Murkin, the powerful fullback, was chosen for the first team and Jack Evans, the shiftgf quarterback was placed on the second team. Bill 'Tenny and Herschel Hinrichs also did outstanding work and will be back next year. Credit should also be given to Ralph Yankee for his showing in the last game of the season against Pembroke. Considering every angle of the past season it can be summed up as one of Raytown's best football yearsv The following boys received letters for their services: Bill Tenny, Javk Evans, John Murkin, Captain, Ralph Yankee. Herschel Hin-' richs, Edward Tenny. Leo Ellison, Jim Ellison, Kenneth Adler, Lawrence Minor, Marvin Thompson, John Bauer, Junior Walker, Bob Davis. 495 lntefrcl.ass Activitiesl The tennis and horseshoe tournaments have not been completed as yet.

The team as a whole this- year was made up of Sophomores and Juniors. The team of next year' loses only two veterans via graduation. Jack Evans and Ward Hunter, the only Seniors to graduate away from the team, will certainly be missed by the team because of their playing this year. The team this year won only one game against iifteen that they lost. Hard luck seemed to go hand in hand with the team this year because in the middle oi the season two of the regular players were lost from the team. Junior Walker and Lawrence Minor were lost from the team sdue to illness. John Murkin, a. Senior, was also lost from the team in the earlier season when he quit school. The team this year ,took part in three tournaments, the Lee's Summit, Ruskin and Pleasant Hill. 1 at 1 , Fourteen boys lettered this year, the names of the letter winners are: Marlin Ward, Junior, Captain.

Every letter winner with the excep-tion of one, a Sophomore, is a Junior and will be back to play next year. The team tied for first place .with Harrisonville in the Little Six Conference which was started this year for the girls competitive basketball., Harrisonville, Pleasant Hill, Lee's Summit and Raytown make up the Little Six. Raytown lost two of the three games to Pleasant Hill and Harrisonville. These games were Played at the beginning of the season and were probably lost due to 0VeT-C011fidGI1C9- The girls staged a comeback and defeated the Harrisonville gi1'1S lJWiC6 and the Pleasant Hill girls once, later in the season. The girls entered three tournaments this year, the Ruskin, Pleasant Hill and Lee's Summit. 'They won second' place in the Pleasant Hill tourney being defeated in the last round by Wellington. The Ruskin tournament was won by defeating Oak Grove, Buckner, Ruskin in the -semi-finals in an over-time period, and Ruhl-Hartman for the fiI1a1S- Mllmelifa Addison was captain of the All-Stars and Thelma Vance placed as an All-Star guard. In the Pleasant Hill tourney the girls defeated Belton, and then defeated the Harrisonville girls, who had won over 'them at the first game of the season. RaYl30Wf1 defeated Creighton in the semi-finals, to the surprise of everyone, including Creigh- ton, but Wellington, who depended wholly on a girl inches above everyone else, took the girls in the finals. Minetta .Addison and Thelma Vance again placed on the All-Sta-r team. The Lee's Summit Tournament was a hard one to win as they played Center, Bates City, Ruhl-Hartman and lastly Blue Springs to receive their second first place trophy of the season. Minetta Addison, Frances Brandt, and LaVada Luns- ford were selected for the All-Star squad. . 3 Minetta Addison was high point scorer throughout the season leading the local girls with 477 points, Frances Brandt was next with 127, and Evelyn Rowan next with 72. Frances Brandt and Evelyn Rowan were splendid in their teamwork and always got that ball in their high-jumps. Anita Wessley, Ellen Rose Witte, and Rosalie Thompson helped Raytown to garner several points and were good little helpers. . LaVa.da Lunsford, Betty Lou Head, Thelma Vance played as regular guards and used good teamwork. Bonnie Yankee, Claire Cassell, Frances Snoddy were used as regulars also and could be relied on at any time to hold down the opponents.

I , The Track Squad With five letter men, Bill Tenny, Jack Evans, Herschel Hinrichs, Ward Hunter and Leo Ellison, returning, the season got off to a slow start with poor Weather con- ditions prevailing. The Raytown boys, however, were determined and finished the season winning two duel meets against one loss.. The squad attended several large meets this year. Six boys, Bill Tenny, 'Junior Walkei', Jack Evans, Ward Hunter Richard Bosse and Leo Ellison, attended the State- Indoor Meet at Columbia.. The' boys scored four points winning second' in the medley relay and Jack Evans capturing fourth in the low hurdles. Ten boys journeyed to Wasrrensburg for ilie district meet.

Those receiving awards are Jack Evans, wholwas elected captain for the second year, Kenneth Adler, Ralph Yankee, Ward Hunter, John Bauer, Bill Tenny, Junior Walker Herschel Hinrichs, Leo Ellison, Marlin Ward, Richard Bosse, Robert Corder, Roger Hutchins and Warren Thompson.

T937 Baseball Season In spite of the bright prospects for an outstanding Blue Jay baseball team for 1937, the season proved to be only another mediocre one. The letter winners W110 returned are: Infield-ers, Teters and Walker, both Juniors, outfielders, Tenny, a jU1'1i01' and Adler, Bauer and Sechrest, all Seniors. Michael at junior, returned as a pitcher- 'Teters and Walker were co-captains. A Walker, Adler and Tenny did not play regularly for the current SGHSOD, S0 Coach Cooper had to build up his team with only- four veterans as the nucleus. They were, Teters, second baseg Sechrest, leftfieldg Bauer, centerfield and Michael, pitcher. 5 ' , The other five vacancies were filled in- with Weildel at the backstop p0Siti0I1, Thompson on the initial sack, Ward at shortstop, Frost at third base and Basler at right field. Ward: and Bauer alternated with Michael at the hurling assignment on several occasions. The Blue Jays' displayed rare form in their pitching. Although it was inclined to be rather wild at times, the pitchers allowed very few base blows.

He walked two batters and struck out eight in this game and only three others reached first, they getting on by errors. While hitting was the principle weakness of the team this season, the fielding was very erratic in some -instances. The boys would play air tight baseball for sev- eral innings and then blow up entirely, letting their opponents tm the game into a track meet. Thompson was probably the outstanding infielder, his play being the most con- sistent. Teters displayed remarkable skill at times, making sensational stops of the ball. ' In the outfield Sechrest and ,Bauer played well, making good .catches of drives that came their way. f , I The season record: 4 A Raytown Opponent Raytown Opponent 3 Washington Rural ' 15 1 Ruskin 1, f 5 2 Pembroke-C.
