The squad was inexperienced in some respects, but made up tor it in their tight- inq spirit, there wasn't a qame in which they didn't tiaht hard and score. Of course the records only show what a team accomplishes in wins but not what they gained in sportsmanship. Two ot the boys made the All-County team, they were Richard Law and Phil lnskeep. We do not have the space to express our admiration to Coach Day. He is a good coach and a triend to everyone. Prom all those on the sideline, we wish Bob and next year's team good luck.

Page Forty-eight THE BLACKHAWKS PULL THROUGH SHERIDAN TAKES COUNTY Sheridan wins County Tourney by beating Walnut Grove in an overtime and Fishers in the final game by 4 points. This makes the fifth successive County Tourney for Sheridan. Congratulations to Coach Hobbs and team. SHERIDAN HAWKS TAKE REGIONAL Because of the defeat of Kokomo in the last week's Sectional, Sheridan fans went up with more hope than ever before. The undersize Blackhawks defeated Wabash in the afternoon. Next was the conqueror of Kokomo, Northwestern, with the little guys com- ing through again. This was the third regional ever captured by Sheridan. The fans went wild with pride for our team and the thought of going to Elkhart for the Semifinals. Page Forty-nine BLACKHAWKS TRIUMPH IN SECTIONAL With any of the twelve teams capable of winning the Sectional, Sheridan came through for the seventh time in as many years. According to statistics the boys had the rough- est road, but came through in fine style, con- quering Walnut Grove, Windfall, Fishers, and Tipton in succession. On to Kokomo!! HAWKS GIVE FORT WAYNE VALIANT FIGHT In the afternoon session the team ran up against a very good North Side, Fort Wayne team and was downed by seven points. This game was one of the outstanding games in the Semifinals of the state for the little Blackhawks were tied with the Redskins at one point in the game. According to the news items, one of the best coaching jobs ever seen in the northern part of the state was performed by Coach Larry Hobbs, with this we agree thoroughly. The students and fans of Sheridan are de- finitely proud of the boys' and Mr. Hobbs' per- formance at Elkhart and throughout the season.

No better place to start than Indiana -namely, Sheridan, my old home town. On my arrival I parked my Cadillac and flagged a taxi to take me to the new school build- ing. Much to my surprise Myron Robbins was driving the taxi. He said his busines was very prosperous, especially before and after school: but he was having a little competition from Phil An- trobus, who is running an interurban between Sheridan and Marion Township. On entering the school building I had to wait for the signal from Charles Eberwien, who is now directing traffic in the halls of Sheridan High School. He told me where I could find Anna Faye Walker. As I finally made my way into the Math room, I saw Don Gibson painting the margins on the blackboard. While waiting, I discovered a new Geometry text for which Ralph Biddle is drawing the circles. Anna Faye told me that while teaching Math, she is also trying to find an error in Einstein's theory. Linda Kouns is also working on the sly, other than teaching she is writing a new book on etiquette entitled How to Scratch in Public. I found Barton Grinstead still trying to tell Mr. lay the difference between lerseys and Brown Swiss. Upon further exploration Ifound lonita Cox in the Chemistry lab still trying to take white phosphorous out of water without blowing up the place. And as I crossed the street, guess who ran into me -Anne Wallace, test driving for Ford. She invited me down for dinner, and on the way I learned that Donna Richardson and Anna Marie Clark are still working with typewriters - Donna puts the letters on the keys and Anna Marie makes accordian-pleated ribbons for them. While watching television at Anne's, I Saw Gordon Bacon as Iohnny for Phillip Morris and Bill Stahl starring in the new Sherlock Holmes series, It Ain't Murder . We were almost out of the door when someone called us back: it was Ivalou Hume and Susan Miller's singing commer- cial- You, You, You, Shake, Rattle, and Roll down to your nearest drug store . . . At this point we left for loe's where we found lane Wiles singing blues. She informed us that Rachel Ham- mack is putting umph in the mambo records: also Bob Hopkins sings the Dum De Dumm Dum in the Dragnet records. lane enlightened us on our friends in the entertainment field such as: Marcia Kincaid, who furnishes the giggle for the program This is Your Laugh p also Evelyn Hunt, who put the question marks after What's My Line? I decided to spend the night in our capital, Indianapolis. On the way I had to detour for Iames Wallace, who was painting the white lines down the highway. After registering in the Claypool, I found Connie Beam cleaning out dresser drawers. We were going to celebrate our reunion with a party by Leon Brandenburg's party-planning agency tanyone for post office?l. Discarding this idea, We decided to attend a Harlem Globetrotters' game in town where we found Mark Thistlethwaite, having overcome all obstacles, playing center, accompanied by his private yell leader, Lorita Wright. From here I was undecided on whether to go to Florida or to California where Bob Adams shines the telescope in the Berkley Observatory and Wayne Wright is the stage manager for Marilyn Monroe. I decided to go South where Benita Kellam is stamping Sunkist on Florida oranges. Here I encountered the Liberace troupe: Doreene Billingsley lighting the candles and Gene Blackstone, the comedian directing Liberace's orchestra which included Wilma West and Claretta Wright. Also in Florida I found lim Wright revising Webster under the title, Dig These Crazy Words, and Vonda Hayes chasing butterflies for the new homogenized butter. On my Way back to Washington, D. C. I saw posters picturing Annette and Colette Cop- pess with the caption, Which Twin Is the Phony? I was frilled to find Gail Godby giving lectures on speech. I also stopped off to hear Marlene Stafford sing I Didn't Know the Gun Was Loaded by Iesse Iames' grave from 8 to 5. In Washington Marilyn Pickett is rearranging the alphabet trying to get C before A. Helen Robbins is numbering the days on the calendar. After saying, Hello , I went on to New York to obtain my passport for the European trip. In making my reservations in Paris I encountered Virginia Barrack as the local phone operator and Carol Baird as the long-distance operator in Paris. While waiting for connections, Virginia tells me that Paula Beard is also in New York giving Gorgeous George permanents. As I departed, I saw Marvin Biddle lighting the Statue of Liberty's torch. The first person I saw in France was Lowell Shelborne who is trying to build a six sided pen- tagon. He told me that Ralph Harvey is teaching the Chinese how to do the Tennessee Wig- walk . Walking down the street we came across Billie Graham selling green cheese to poor liitel French girls while Donald Harbaugh furnishes the baloney. Not far from there we heard someone saying, Now dig this: now dig this. It was none other thar, Bob Hollingsworth teach- ing fellow ditch diggers English Literature. Across the channel I saw posters introducing Carole Grinstead and Vicki Ashley in A Mid- summer's Nightmare at the Palladium. I couldn't leave England without paying my respects to Queen Elizabeth, but the governess to Princess Anne and Prince Charles, Pef3fJY Alexander, in- formed me that she was out. After returning home I pondered over these facts and recalled one of my former teacher's re- marks. You people won't know yourselves ten years from now . A loyal Classmate--S. J. M.

Page Filly-seven COMPLIMENTS TO THE CLASS OF '55 BIDDI.E'S Sheridan Indiana When Anne Morrow Lindbergh was a little girl, I. P. Morgan, the elder, was corn- ing to tea at the Dwight MorroW's. Fearing the irankness ot childhood, Mrs. Morrow talked to Anne beforehand. I need not tell you, she said, that it is rude to comment on anything peculiar about people you meet, so, oi course, ii you notice that Mr. Morgan's nose is dit- ierent you won't say anything about it. Upon meeting the famous guest Anne fixed her eyes relentlessly on the celebrat- ed nose. Her mother noticed this with tre- pidation and tried, not too obviously, to speed her departure. At last the child was gone - safely gone. Mrs. Morrow breathed a sigh oi relief and, pouring a cup oi tea, she asked her visitor with a new complacence, And now, Mr. Morgan, will you have cream or lemon in your nose? O O It O Mr. Richardson - 'Was the expedition into Canada in the War ot 1812 a success or iai1ure? Beniia Kellem - Failure Mr. Richardson- Cn what grounds? Benita Kellen - British grounds.
