BELLAMY 45 FLAG AWARD .landing Scion! Q, 20 ciao! my same THE 7955 CDIQACLE J. W. Sexton High School Lansing, Mich'gon r FOREWORD The Francis Bellamy Flag Award is one of the greatest honors which can come to any school. In the fall of 1954, I. VV. Sex- ton High School was chosen to receive this award, whose purpose is to emphasize patriotism and to pay tribute to Francis Bellamy, author of the Pledge of Alle- giance. In selecting the school to receive the award, Miss Margarette Miller, donor of the award, emphasized that the achieve- ments of our alumni-which reach back into the records of Central and Lansing High School-were a determining factor. The inclusion of American ideals in the schoolls educational plan, as well as the uality of its faculty and students, and lille high standard of journalism set by our school paper were other determining fac- tors in the selection of our school as the award recipient. The honor of receiving the Bellamy Award has made that award not only the theme of our 1955 yearbook but the focus for our efforts throughout the year to con- tinue true to the ideals for which the award stands-and to make those ideals function in our school life. The presentation ceremony took place in our auditorium, on October 12, 1954, with distinguished state and government oflicials and outstanding alumni in attend- ance. Representatives were present from each of the schools which had previously received the award. Since only one school in each state may receive it until all 48 states have been covered, we are proud to be the thirteenth school to be So honored.

MR. J. O, PETERSON MISS JENNIE JOHNSON DEDICATION We proudly dedicate our 1955 Oracle to Mr. J. O. Peterson and Miss Jennie Johnson, two faculty mem- bers-recently retired-who exemplified in their active careers as teachers the qualities which helped to determine the choice of J. YV. Sexton High School as the recipient of the Bellamy Award. Mr. J. O. Peterson was trained at Valparaiso University, in Indiana, at Michigan State College, and at the University of Michigan. His teaching career covered 37 years, and at the time of his retirement in 1953 he was head of the Science Department of our school. His power for good over the students who came within the warmth of his kindly personality was immeasurable. Perhaps the term inspired teaching best expresses what his methods of instruction and his fine scholarship did for the students who worked with him in both classroom and laboratory. Illness made it impossible for Mr. Peterson to attend the October Bellamy ceremonies, but his abiding interest in the schools of Lansing and in young people everywhere was sustained to the time of his death, in February of this year. 5 Miss Jennie Johnson received her training at the University of Michigan and at Michigan State College. She came into the Lansing public school system in 1920 and taught successively at Kalamazoo Street School, at West Junior Qwhere she became assistant principalj, at Lansing Central, and at J. VV. Sexton High School. She retired from teaching in June of 1954. Always interested in public affairs, and vitally concerned with matters of patriotism and good gov- ernment, she returned from her Florida vacation to be present at the Bellamy Award ceremonies last October. During her teaching days she sponsored Senior Government Day, a project involving participation by state, city, and county officials. She regularly took a group of her students to participate in the United Nations Model Assembly at Hillsdale College, and to the Model Presidential Nominating Convention for students, held every four years at Kalamazoo College. Her Work in Bible Club and in Y-Teens endeared her to generations of students. She was a wise counselor and a good friend whose sense of humor brightened many a difficult situation for both colleagues and students.

One of the first responsi- bilities ot the Student Council this year was pre- paring for the Bellamy Flag Award. Members ot the council were hosts to the student guests, and several committees helped to make final arrange- ments for the assembly. The school spirit committee, under Art Cowens, was very active during the first semester. Under Artis capable direction, several pep assemblies were held throughout the year to build spirit among the student body. OFFICERS T. Knight, Sgt.-at-Arms President, C. Millionis, Secretary One annual highlight is the school talent assem- bly. Don Roose, chairman of the assembly com- mittee, did a swell job in getting this show together. The service project for the year was a Toys for Totsv dance, held just before Christmas. Response was excellent and the dance was a success in every way. Other projects for the year included the Home- coming Festivities, beginning of a school safety committee, sale of lnter-City Bus tickets, and many after-game dances.

Neller, Sgt.-at-Arms Under the guidance of Dick johnson, the second semester Student Council accomplished many com- mendable things .... Among these was a twirp dance, which was sponsored jointly with the Girls' League. The twirp dance was the climax of a twirp week, during which the girl was requested to take over the fellowis job as the provider on dates. One of the highlights of this semester's council was the exchange talent assembly with Eastern High. Our own talent show visited Eastern and was well accepted as was theirs when it performed here. The assembly committee, under Don Roose, was responsible for the details of this exchange. Other noteworthy accomplishments were voting financial assistance to the school's Oracle, charter- ing a bus to send our Pep, band to Flint for the basketball tournaments, and acting as hosts to the Chelsea High School senior class on their visit to our school. Some sections of the school constitution were reviewed, and a few amendments were proposed but no definite decision was made. Buck Row: XVilson, Nelligan, Herbert, Hollis, McConigal, Ilenderson, B.

The Easter Assemhly aucl the College Discussion Night were two major projects of the group. The cluh has fifty memhers and is very active. Ilim llerrmann was recently elected President of the Twin Val- ley District of the lli-Y. Three memhers of the club have been honored hy heing chosen as clele- gates to attend the international Y.Nl.Cf.A. cen- tennial convention in Paris this summer. They are Mackey King, Ilim Stringer, anal Bill Tellier. Carol Paulsen liit-hard liolwrts HI-Y ACTIVITIES Each year the memhers of the Hi-Y clubs in Nlichigau convene in Lansing and form a model state government. They serve in all the capa- cities, and perform the duties of our elected puhlic officials. Thus they learn the principles of goocl government.

Superintendent Rich with incmhcrs of the Board of Education dream coming to reality, has been in the pro- cess of construction for a period of several months. It measures 75 feet by 30 feet, and will be equipped with a wonderful arrangement of underwater lights. The north side will have sev- eral rows of bleachers to accommodate specta- tors at swimming events. There is so much good in the worst of us, And so much bad in the best of us, That it ill hehooves any of us To find fault with the rest of us. -ANONYMOUS r F ?

There is a high learning factor in such jobs as drafting, auto mechanics, printing, gas engine repair, machinist work, and electrical work. The fore- going trades are taught in the Technical shops. Other industrial co-op jobs include auto service, pharmacy, cooking, baking, dry cleaning, photog- raphy, carpentry, the work of the painter, and of the meatman. To be eligible for the co-op program, the stu- dent nmst be in the 1215 or 12A grade. ln jobs Typical of the students in the industrial 'ico-opi' training program are Bill Ramsey who is shown below working with mobile radio and which involve moving machines, heavy lifting, truck driving, etc., the pupil must be 18 years of age. lu general, preference is given to seniors who have proved themselves to be good students and good school citizens. For trades taught in school shops, a successful year under the school shop instructor is required for enrollment as a co-op. A student enrolls in three school courses during the half day he spends at school. He receives one credit for the work done on the half day he is employed. Mr. Tuttle is co-ordina- tor of the Industrial co-opv program for both Sexton and Eastern. telephone at Northwestern Radio Laboratory, and Dick Bigelow who is doing light tune-up and repair work as an auto mechanic at Story Olds. we .e ga In 'W ' ?5'F?

Senior students enrolled in this training course receive pay for part-time employment in the afternoon, as well as school credit for this work experience. WVhen training is completed, most graduates enter full- time employment with the firm which made it possible for them to obtain their training. Close working relationships between school and busi- ness establishments in this type of program per- form a practical service both to the individual students and to the entire connnunity. Nlr. Hopkins is co-ordinator for the co-operative re- tailing program at both Eastern and Sexton.

These trainees received a credit for learning and earn- ingi' while working as typists, clerks. and stenog- raphers in a variety of offices such as credit de- partments, lawyers' offices, insurance companies, Nlichigan Bell, and under the Board of Educa- tion. The employers who agree to train these students, to work with them, and to develop their personal and clerical abilities are the ones whose effices are selected as training stations. The stu- dents are selected on the basis of desire for this type of training. degree of co-operation, and scholastic standing. During 1954-55, twenty- seven seniors selected this program. The '54-,55 group has done outstanding work. An employer- employee dinner is the climax of the year. Miss Greenfield is the co-ordinator for the office train- ing program at both Eastern and Sexton. Sandra Barkholz is working in the office at NVQ-st junior High School, filing, typing, and operating office machines. This is her second semester of work at XVest junior. 4 il.

Everyone benefits from practice in debate, and the privilege Bill Beck and Arlcnc Thompson with guest should not be limited to the necessarily small number who can engage in inter- school contests. Mr. Nelson, our speech instructor, feels that anyone who is at all interested in the subject should be a mem- ber of the debate class. He has planned his course so that all have an equal oppor- tunity to practice this form of speech. dz-batcrs Kay Cross and jcamcttc Cook with Visiting faculty mcmbcr and dcbutcrs f130j 3 i Back Row: Mr. Nelson, Thurston, Simpson, Beck, Logan, Rollis, Denczek, Adams, Brown, Penfil, VVheaton, Stevens Second Row: Stcinbalu-r, jones, Smith, Campbell, johnson, Schuesslcr Front Row: Bassett, Calomcni, Thompson, Burke, Ircy, Cook DEBATE This yearis topic for debate was 'eRe- solved: That the Federal Government should initiate a policy of free trade among nations friendly to the United Statesf, Sexton debaters have participated in ten 6-A League competitions and eight State competitions. Representing our school in these contests were Tom Rollis, Earl Adams, Kay Cross, Bill Beck, Jeanette Cook, Richard Penfil, Jerry Scheussler, Tony Smith, Arlene Thompson, and Robert Thurston. Of these, seven are june 1955 graduates. The entire class has Worked hard, and all feel that it has been worth the effort. The seniors are glad to have been debaters, and the underclassmen are look- ing forward to next year.

This division of the speech department is, itself, divided into five parts: oratory, extempore speaking, declamation, humorous reading, and dramatic reading. Although each member of the speech class does some work in all these fields, he specializes in two. A student in oratory does research on a specific problem, writes his own speech, memorizes it, and finally delivers it. Ex- tempore speaking follows a different pat- tern. Here, the student obtains informa- tion on a general subject or on a variety of subjects. He is then assigned a specific topic and given an hour in which to organize his material and prepare it for delivery. At the end of this time he gives his speech, using as few notes as possible. Scvcnth Ilour lDolJatc-l orcnsics Class Dave Logan, Evadna Smith Mr. Nelson, Paul VVoodruff FORENSICS Declaination is open only to Sophomores and consists of memorizing and deliver- ing famous speeches. Humorous reading is concerned with the execution of humor- ous selections which may he either prose or poetry and need not he original. Dramatic reading is similar except that the emphasis is on drama rather than on laughter. Each of these groups offers end- less possihilities to the person with an urge to express himself. Of course, Sexton students participated in both District and Regional Contests. In the District Competition Gordon Stein- hauer placed fourth in oratory. Paul VVoodruff Won second place in humorous reading and then Went on to the Regionals and gained a first place in the same classi- fication. Mr. Nelson has heen coach of the foren- sics as well as of debating. HICCOIRIJINC SESSION lion Dcnczck. Dau- johnson.

The school and general public received the concert very Well. On the 7th of May the Choir took part in the state festival which was held at Michigan State College. Mr. Edward Richmond was the guest director. Again this year the talented A Cappella Choir proved to he a real trihute to our school. One of the new vocal groups added to the music department is the Madrigal Croup. The thirteen members of this group sing music from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. At this period in his- tory, it was the custom for the people to gather around the table after the dinner was over and sing. This is the reason the Madrigal Croup always sings around a talile.

MARCHING BAND This was one of the biggest years for Sexton's Marching Band They took pride in being chosen as one of the 115 bands to be featured on Band Day at the University of Michigan. They also put on a show during half-time at the Detroit Lions- Los Angeles Rams game. In the near future the band is planning to take a trip to New York City with the Lansing Commandery. The city of New York has invited the band to play a concert in the famous band shell in Central Park on the 22nd of August. Some of the numbers featured in the Spring Concert by the band were: Stars in the Velvety Sky, played by Brian Burnsg Concertino for Clarinet and Bamlg Sounds from the Hudson, performed by Cene Andersong and Til Eulen- spiegalis Merry Pranks. This past year the orchestra acted as hosts to the Hamilton, Ontario, orchestra. Among the many school activities for which our orchestra played were the senior B plays, Christmas Choral Concert, and the Spring Concert. The Spring Concert opened with Procession of the Sardar. Among other num- bers featured at the Spring Concert were the Mozart Concerto in D Major for Violin and Orchestra played by Carol Newellg and Carri's Andante Heligioso, with Tom Tenny at the new organ, and Karen.Calland at the piano. Mr, Bergan was guest conductor on both coasts this yearg he conducted in XVashington, D. C., and in Los Angeles. DRUM MAJOR Dave Fisher ORGAN Tom T1-nny seated at the new Connsonata Electric- Organ. One of the highlights for Sexton students this year was the occasion upon Which the organ for the auditorium was dedicated. For years, hoth faculty and students, have dreamed of having an organ for our school. The organ is the most expensive single item ever purchased for the auditorium. The organ is a Clonnsonata Electric, and the finest of its kind. lt is equipped with two speakers. The Connsonata Electric is used for all musical activities-playing with the choir, orchestra, and soloists. This fine musical instrument cost over three thousand dollars. lt was financed from three different sources: class contributions-mainly the classes of january 1950, january 1953, and June 1953, Senior B plays dating back to 1935, and profits from the school store. From among our students We are privileged to have two fine organists, Judy Davis and Tom Tenny. judy accompanied the choir for the spring vocal concert, Moonlight on the Campus, and Tom has played on several other occasions.

VVith teams entered in every major sport, Sexton has brought itself state-wide prominence. Under the capable direction of C. F. Ritchey, our athletic program has prospered. The addition of a swimming team two years ago, and his efforts on behalf of the building of a new pool, are among the services he has rendered. WVe at Sexton owe a great deal to Stubv for his fine work. Three new coaches were added to our staff this year. Russell Maples, Kenneth Eckman, and Edward Majdeski are the new mentors in the Sexton aggregation. They certainly have proved to be fine men and capable coaches. The future of Sextonis athletic for- tunes need never be doubted if we can be assured that our coaching quality will stay at Ritchey its present heights. ATHLETIC STAFF G. F.

XVith Tony Smith and Cary YVarriner leading the way, the Cross Country team compiled a fine 5-2 record. This record does not show their true strength for their two losses were ahsorhed at the hands of Kala- mazoo, which finished Hrst in the state, and jack- son, which finished fourth. Our own Big Reds finished ninth in the state meet, which was a fine display of their power. ln the Hastings Hill and Dale meet, Sexton finished fourth. Running in the second annual All-City meet, the Reds came in second, behind Eastern, while Everett copped third place. As it was stated earlier, Smith and XVarriner were the mainstays of the Sexton team. Tony and Cary are hoth excellent milers on our track team in the spring. lt was Smith who won indi- vidual honors in the All-City meet hy hreaking the tape first. Other fine Sexton thinclads were Bruce Sherman, a football quarterback who took up cross country, and Tom Spencer, a letterman who turned in some good performances. Jerry Schuessler was also a standout. Next year with Smith again leading the way, Sexton should have another title contender under Coach Iggy Konrad's watchful eyes.

The 1954 edition of the Big Reds turned the trick, 13-12. Art Cowens, a senior playing his first year of football, showed great potentiali- ties by breaking the game wide open in the second quarter with a brilliant 76-yard broken field run. It was Muskegon that drew first blood, scoring after a punt was returned to the Sexton 16 yard line. On the ensuing kickoff, Cary Ruthruff returned to his 24 yard line, where he handed off to Cowens, who made his spectacular run. jack Fultonis place kick was perfect to give Sexton the 13-12 victory. ,IACK FULToN EARL BROOKS .IOIIN FELICE Ypsilanti-In the first out-of-town game of the year, the Big Reds proved once again that there is no substitute for hard work and determination. Playing with- out the services of center Dick Bigelow, the Chiefs found themselves on the short end of a 6-0 count at the half. At the start of the second half, the Reds caught fire. A march the full length of the field was climaxed by jack Taylor's plunging over for the score. The try for extra point was blocked, and the score remained at 6-6 throughout the rest of the game. The defensive platoon, led by john Felice and Bill Cunninghain as well as Taylor, did tremendous jobs, as did Ron Clark, who filled in for Bigelow. f1501I Kalamazoo-Playing before a slim crowd of 2,500 rain-soaked fans, the Big Reds met and defeated a good Kalamazoo team, 25-7. After a poor start which saw Kazoo score the first time it got the ball, the Reds began to move. ln two plays, a yard pass from Dick johnson to Art BILL BECK HALPII TAYLOR Gowens and a 14 yard run by Cary Ruthruff, and it was a touchdown for Sexton. From there on it was Sexton all the way. On fourth down with six to go, johnson hit Ruthruff in the end zone for the second marker. The kick was low. Little Cary scored again early in the fourth quarter for his third tally of the night. Cowens intercepted a pass in the waning minutes and outran all defenders for the last score of the evening. BILL PEARCE Ann Arbor-The Reds ran into a terriiiic Ann Arbor football team in their fourth outing of the year. As a result they went down in defeat, 51-6. The score does not necessarily tell the whole story. Trailing 18-0 midway in the second quarter, the Big Reds drove the length of the field in 13 plays to score against the Pioneer varsity. This was the first time the Ann Arbor boys had ever been scored upon, and it was no fluke. jack Taylor crashed over from the 1 to climax the drive. But the Pioneers were not through yet. Led by their all-state fullback, Dick Williams, Ann Arbor scored twice in each quarter to take the victory. P151 1 DICK BICELOXV LARRY XVRICIIT BRUCE BROVVN BILL CUNNINCHAM DICK jOHNSON -IACK BOYETT MIKE O,DELL Benton Harbor-Facing the second undefeated team in as many weeks, the Sexton Biglteds were again beaten, 19-7. But the Tigers frem Benton Harbor found the Beds much more dilhcult than did Ann Arbor. The Chiefs moved the ball well, gaining 264 yards to Benton Harbor's 324. Nlost of Sexton's yardage was made on pass plays, with Dick johnson hurling. One was good to Art Gowens for 66 yards and the lone touchdown. Benton Harboris attack was led by fullback Don Arend and haltback Howie Rodgers. They both were mentioned on the states all-star teams. Sexton made a great bid in the waning minutes of the Hrst half, when jim Salmon gathered in a pass and rambled to the ten yard line before being hauled down from behind. A final pass was intercepted as the half ended. Battle Creek-Battle Creek High was the third undefeated team in the three weeks to meet and defeat the Sexton High Big Reds. They turned the trick 25-0. It was the first and only time the Big Beds were shut out all year. The Bearcats jumped to a quick 12-0 lead in the first quarter and were never seriously threatened, although the Big Beds did manage to cross into their territory five times. Again it was an all-stater that led the attack. Dick Donnell was the work-horse for battle Creek, scoring twice and gaining large chunks of yardage. NVith one exception, Sexton moved the ball every time they gained pos- session. The advances came in small bits and were few and far between. The Reds took to the air more than usual, throwing 15 passes and com- pleting 4. jackson-A big gamble, which backfired, was the cause of Sexton Higlfs 13-7 loss to jackson. Leading 7-6 with less than two minutes left to play, the Big Beds elected to run on fourth down with two yards to go. Cary Buthrutf was thrown for a yard loss as the Viking defense proved solid. jackson took over and marched to a touchdown. Bruce Brown was the big ground gainer for Sexton with 56 yards, fol- lowed by Buthruff with and jack Taylor with 20. Dick johnson com- pleted 4 passes for 46 yards. It was Art Cowens who set up the Big Reds score in the fourth quarter on a 28 yard punt return. A pass from jolmson to Salmon brought it to the three, where johnson plunged for the touchdown. Brown ran for the extra point. f15:2j Eastern-The Sexton-Eastern series was again evened at 13 wins each and one tie, when the 1954 Sexton Big Reds downed the Quakers, 13-7. lt was entirely a team victory, to pick out one star would be practically impossible. You could name Art Cowens, who caught a touchdown pass and set up another, or little Cary Ruthruff, 157 pounds of dynamite, who gained 93 yards rushing, or lohn Felice and Mike Q'Dell, who were stalwarts on defense. It was truly a team triumph. The Big Reds scored the first time they got the ball. Nlarching 73 yards in nine plays. they displayed power and poise. Wlith the hall on the 23, Dick lohnson threw to Cowens in the corner. Art made the catch and toppled into the end zone for six points. Felice missed the conversion. Each team had a chance to score in the second period, but neither could cash in. Early in the third quarter, Eastern began to move. Norm Bower- man partially blocked 'lack Tayloris punt and it went out of bounds on the 34. It took only four plays for the Quakers to score, with jerry Thompson going over from the 1. Chuck Arnold converted. Then came Sextonis big drive. Using 15 plays covering 64 yards, the Big Reds brought home a vic- tory. Ruthruit and Taylor led the way to the Quaker 14, where, on fourth down, johnson calmly threw to Cowens, who went out of bounds at the 1 foot line. Two plays later, johnson dove over, and Bruce Brown ran for the extra point. NVhen the final gun sounded, it assured Sexton of its finest record in recent years, consisting of 3 wins, 4 losses, and 1 tie NVe salute the Big Reds.

Basing next year's squad on this idea, Sexton should prove a worthy title con- tender. Opening before the home crowd, the Little Reds bowed before a powerful Trojan squad of East Lansing by a 19-0 count. Also during the initial week, Sexton also was humbled by Ann Arbor. Starting with the third game of the sea- son and continuing throughout the remainder of the season, the reserves played inspired ball, Sextoifs Little Reds topped the season in the last game of the year with a convincing Win over Eastern. The Little Reds had many outstanding players including such backs as: Fred johnson, Chuck Ginther, Bill Brakora and Ted Petrie Outstand- ing linemen included Paul Bondeson, john Rowan, Dale Monroe, and Bill Updyke.

This is only the second year Sexton has spon- sored a swimming team. Last year our squad failed to win even one meet, but this year Coach Nlatt Mann III turned out a well-balanced team. Matt Mann II turned out a well-balanced team, considering their relative lack of experience. Opening their season with a clean 50-36 con- quest of Bay City Handy, the Rig Reds showed promise of things to come. In the next three meets, the Big Reds met three of the finest swim- ming teams in the state, jackson, Rattle Creek, and East Grand Rapids. Battle Creek was state champion this year, and East Grand Rapids was a power among class B schools. As was expected. Sexton lost all three of these meets. by scores of 62-22, 60-24, and 50-34, respectively.

Sexton's next two victories came in the final meets of the year. They beat Ann Arbor 48-45, and Ypsilanti 48-31. The Sexton swimming team had its individual stars. Among them were Ron Welfare, who is heralded as one of the best schoolboy divers in the state, and Don johnson, who was the only Sexton swimmer who placed in the state meet. Both of these boys gained many first places throughout the season. Larry Taylor, a senior, was the teamis leading backstroker, and a main- stay of the Sexton staff. Sexton is fortunate in that many good swim- mers will be back for the coming season. With these men returning, and a brand new swimming pool ready for use, the Sexton team ought to make a name for itself next year.

Sexton had the services of all-stater Art Cowens and big Bill Cunningham for part-time duty. When Art and Bill graduated at half-year, a lot of pre- dictions were made that Sextonis ship was doomed to sink. The Nickehnen proved otherwise, com- piling a record of four straight triumphs after a blasting at the hands of Flint Northern to open the second semester cage action. For the third straight year, the Big Beds won the conference crown, with a perfect 10-0 mark, although, for the first time in three years the Beds did not win the regional trophy. They did, however, manage to maintain a territic 14-3 won-lost record, which is good in any- bodyis book. Important battles in this year,s campaign included two smashing victories over each of the five con- ference teams. The Big Reds split their series with Flint Northern, winning the opener at Sexton and bowing before the Northerners on their home court. Sexton also beat a state power in Saginaw Arthur Hill 47-42 in an overtime. In the game of the year, powerful St. Maryis upset the Reds 54-52 in a hard- fought grudge battle on our home court. Again it was Cowens and Cunningham who paced the attack. Tom Lunden was the lone representative on all- city team from Sexton. Tom was a real ball-hawk on defense and a horn floor leader on offense. Other outstanding players o11 the Big Bed roster were Dick johnson, senior guard, who was a natural leader and cool-headed always, Dick Ramont, a junior forward, who was the top scorer and re- hounder, joel Ferguson, a junior, who was a favor- ite with the fans and a real hustler. The list would not hc complete without mentioning Dick Neller, six-foot seven-inch center, who improved rapidly all season long. Dave Strolle and jerry Mills are the two other seniors who greatly aided the Sexton cause. Lettcrmen returning for next year, besides Bamont and Ferguson, include lim Salmon and Barry Duncan. Bill Beck, Doug Brown and Tony Smith should also bolster the attack. Iohn Bowan heads the contingent of Little Red hopefuls who will try to fill the shoes of the gradu- ating seniors. Other Little Beds who showed promise include joe Thompson, Iohnnie Davis, Terry Bamont and Boy Ferguson. Iohnny Johnson and Bob Shumway may also make their presence felt. The aforementioned players should and will bring Sexton another 6-A championship and carry on the tradition of Big Bed basketball here at Sexton. f1581 Sexton .... . . .

Under the expert guidance of Coach Iggy Konrad, the Big Red grapplers had another fine year. Losing only two duel matches, and tieing one, throughout the entire year, our wrestlers always made a commendable showing. The losses were to our cross-town rival, Eastern, who eventually became the 1955 state champions. When we realize that Coach Konrad had only two returning lettermen this winter, jim VVil- liams and Earl Brooks, we can fully appreciate his coaching capabilities. For individual work, honors go to our three- time state champ, jimmy YVilliams, who was un- Clx NICENANEY EARL BROOKS defeated all season long. Besides winning the Cll2llllPl0l1Sl1lP, jim was one of the high point men throughout the year. Our other undefeated Wrestler was Norm Young, a sophomore. Norm went through all of his season matches without dropping a decision, hut then ran into trouble in the state meet and was defeated by a very close margin. Other outstanding boys were heavyweight Earl Brooks, and .Ion Brown, both of whom made their mark in the Big Bed season. Cary Warriner, a senior, was also an outstanding competitor. With a number of lettermen returning, Wil- liams, Young, Cordon Bauer, LeRoy Cmazel, Marvin Hall, Dale Monroe, and jim Richards, plus a host of reserve talent-the Big Beds should roll in the coming season.

After losing all their dual meets in 1953. practically the same Big lied squad literally ran away with every 1954 season contest. Among the honors won hy Coach Chuck Sweeneyis harriers Were the first annual all-city track meet, including Sexton, Eastern. Everett and East Lansing, and the class A regional crown at Kalamazoo ln the all-city meet the lleds dominated all events. Wlith Dick Frazier and Boy Bates leading the attack. the Chiefs copped firsts in hoth dashes, the high jump and hoth hurdles. ln the class A regional meet, the Sexton thinclads won three first places.

They not only won the 6-A championship, hut finished fourth and eleventh in the Central Michigan College Relays and the State meet, respectively. As far as individuals go. Dick Frazier and Roy Bates were prohahly two of the best trackmen in the Lansing area last year. Hon VVickham was very strong in the dashes. Cleo Sturdivant col- lected points in the shotput as did Tony Smith and Dick Bigelow in the mile and 880, respec- tively. XVith a host of returning letterlnen and some new sophomore and junior hopefuls, Sextonys track fortunes should continue to prosper in 1955. Flint Central ,..................

Although they sported a so-so 4-8 record, they were a constant threat. After dropping their first four games, three of them to league foes and the fourth to Ypsilanti, the Reds began to play better ball. They beat a good Ann Arbor team 6-2 in a well-played game, before bowing to both Ypsilanti and Kala- mazoo by 9-5 and 3-0 scores, respectively. Then, as before, Coach Bob Campbellis boys bounced back behind the beautiful pitching of Chet Rus- sell to beat Jackson 1-0. For the next contest, the Chiefs had to travel to Battle Creek where they lost a hard-fought, well-played game 5-2. During this game a steady blanket of snow fell constantly. The Big Reds ended their season with their second victory of the year over Ann Sexton ...... 1 Sexton ...... 1 Sexton ...... 0 Sexton ...... 3 Sexton ...... 6 Sexton ...... 5 Ypsilanti 6 jackson 11 Battle Creek 10 Eastern .... 6 Ann Arbor.. 2 Ypsilanti . . . 9 Arbor 3-1, followed by a 2-0 loss to Kazoo. There were many individual stars on the Big Red squad. Among these are Chet Russell, a fine southpaw hurler who was the mainstay of the Sexton pitching staff for three years, and Jim Poindexter, a hard-hitting first baseman, who was the team's leading hitter. Other good ballplayers were Steve Miller at second, Cary Ruthruff in the outfield, and Dave Patrick at third. Sexton also possesses a good brother duo in the two Bamont boys, Dick and Terry. Dick holds down the starting shortstop berth, and Terry is the squad's first catcher. With a surprising number of lettermen return- ing, and a plentiful amount of reserve players moving up, the Big Beds should begin to take their place in 6-A baseball Sexton ...... 0 Kalamazoo . . 3 Sexton ...... 1 Jackson .... 0 Sexton ...... 2 Battle Creek 5 Sexton ...... 2 Eastern .... 3 Sexton ...... 3 Ann Arbor.. 1 Sexton ...... 0 Kalamazoo . . 2 fl63j Don Clark, Dave Strolle, Tcd Hassler, Carl Clark Sexton .... . . 353 Ann Arbor .... . . . 336 Sexton. . . . . 359 jackson ..... . . . 327 Sexton .... . . 353 Eastern ..... . . . 363 Sexton .... .. 341 Kalamazoo . 335 Sexton .... .. 371 Battle Creek 385 Sexton. . . .... 360 Ann Arbor. . 325 Sexton. . . . . 347 jackson .... 312 Sexton .... .. 359 Eastern .... 356 Sexton. . . . . 334 Kalamazoo . 339 Sexton. . . . . 341 Battle Creek 361 BIC1 RED TENNIS Although the Big Reds were not in the winning column as much as expected, there were certain standouts throughout the season. Tom Knight and Mel Warren, who teamed as the first doubles combination, proved to be one of the finest in the 6-A league. They also made their presence felt in the singles competi- tion after being split to provide the team with more all-around strength. While the racquetmen won but one match, they fought gamely and almost every match was undecided until the last score was turned in. From the first con- test at Ann Arbor to the last one here against Battle Creek, the Reds showed continuous improvement. As proof of this, the records show that they lost 6 out of their 10 contests by one match, and these always proved to be very close. With Dick johnson and jim Salmon as returning lettermen, Sextonis tennis stock has risen this year. BIG RED GOLF The Big Red linkmen completed their first season under the guidance of their new coach, Cecil Nickel, showing much promise for the com- ing seasons. Although the Pied foursome compiled a 4-6 record, they finished their season strongly with a respectable 334-339 conquest of Kazoo, fol- lowed by a convincing 341-361 victory over Battle Creek. Led by the Clark brothers, Don and Carl, Sexton was always a contender. The Clarks stroked to 85.9 and 87.2 average, respectively. Don held the honors for shooting the finest round of the season with a brilliant 78, Carl was next with a 79 in the state meet. For the first year Lansing sponsored an all-city tournament, featuring the golfers from East Lan- sing, Sexton, Eastern, St. Marys, and Everett. Sexton finished a strong second in their bid for the crown. With three of the four regulars returning, Don Clark, Hassler, and Strolle, the Big Reds ought to be back in the running for the 6-A champion- ship next year.

YW MARY XVELLMAN ARLENE THOMPSON CAMILLA KIPKE RUTH ANN CAREVV T AMA ALLINC MARY GORSKI fl66j Johnson, Dyer, Weintraub CHEERLEADERS Promoting school spirit in athletics is the primary purpose of the cheerleaders. The past year has been a great example toward realizing this goal at Sexton. The varsity squad consisted of six girls, Arlene Thompson, Ruth Ann Carew, Mary Wellman, Tama Alling, Mary Corski, and Camilla Kipke, who worked diligently perfecting jumps and cartwheels. A reserve squad, varsity cheerleaders of tomor- row, inspired the Little Beds in football and basketball this year. This group was composed of Bonnie Dyer, Barbara Johnson, Karen WVein- traub, and Ann Crowell, who were selected hy a faculty committee. Practicing regularly, both groups attended faithfully Big Bed athletics, home and away. Before the Eastern-Sexton basketball game the cheerleaders sponsored a banquet attended by the varsity and reserve squads of both schools. This event proved successful and may set a precedent for future years. To qualify for a position on the team, one must exemplify superior citizenship, leadership, and cheerleading ability. One must also maintain a average scholastically. Tryouts are held in the fall of the year before a committee of faculty members, and two cheerleaders from each class are selected on the basis of the above qualifica- tions. There are two seniors on the squad, Arlene Thompson and Ruth Ann Carew. Next year, however, four experienced cheerleaders will return and, with the very capable reserves, Sex- ton is sure to produce another excellent group of cheerleaders. f167j GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION For any girl interested in athletics, the C. A. A. is a must.v It is an organization open to any girl in the school who wishes to participate in its program. This program includes various sports for inter-school competition and also ac- tivities with the other schools in the city. ln the fall volleyball and badminton teams were formed. A tournament followed, deter- mining winners in both groups For the first time at Sexton, an intramural program between home- rooms was devised. The girls participated in basketball and volleyball, and trophies were awarded to the champions, to be placed in their homerooms. Bowling was offered in the spring on Wednesday afternoons at the Westlawn Alleys. Tennis and golf were two sports which the girls played after school and on Saturdays. The Girls' Varsity is a club composed of the outstanding members of the C. A. A. When a girl receives a minor letter, she is eligible for membership in the organization. Letters are awarded on the point system Each time a girl participates in a C. A. A. sport, she gets 5 points. Also, if her team places first, all of its players receive 15 extra points, second, 10 points, third, 5 points. Team captains are awarded 10 extra points. WVhen the point total reaches 450, a minor letter is awarded. To receive a major letter, one must earn 650 points. At the end of the year, to one member of Girls, Varsity in the graduating class who dis- plays superior sportsmanship, cooperation, and interest in athletics, the Cirls, Trophy Award is presented. This award is in the form of a large plaque on which the recipient's name is en- grayed. GIRLS' BASKETBALL i GIRLS' VOLLEYBALL AWARDS - JUNE 1954 GIRLS' LEAGUE AWARD MICHIGAN HONOR TROPHY IDA A.
