Iournalism is not only a class assembled to produce a school newspaper, but offers valuable experience in journalistic procedures. Monthly deadlines, page dummies, half-filled stories decorated with red ink, hunting up news that is incomplete, not turned in, or just plain lost: all these mean something to the members of the SPOTLIGHT staff, though they may hold different meanings for various members. For instance, a deadline on a story is a nuis- ance to a reporter, but an absolute necessity to a page editor. journalism has been defined as: the col- lection and periodical publication of current news, the business managing, editing, or writ- ing for periodicals and journals. It is certain that SPOTLIGHT has maintained and often surpassed this definition. To encourage the sale of the newspaper the spring class decided to sell tickets for a SPOTLIGHT Review. The entertainment in- cluded sorne professionals and some student talent. Sixty-one ervice FIRST ROW: Humphrey, Austin, Hughes, Blache, Barney, Bcmister, Blackman, Colliar, Brown.

Another pound? eruice Lost in the legends of antiquity are the quaint tales of Brownieswlittle creatures who aided good folk and hindered bad, asking only a saucer of milk in return. At Soldan the corresponding group is better known as the Service Club, but the member brownies ask nothing in return for their time. Here you will find some of the most devoted, helpful, and loyal students at Soldan. The qualifications for rnembershipv-high grade point and citizenship-explain the in- stinctive reaction of members even while off- duty to guests in our corridors. Seeing a puzzled face searching for the office or a particular room brings the immediate response: - May l help you? -and the visitor is ably directed toward his destination. While on duty, Service Club members aid the school in such various facets as office assistants, librarians, lunchroom workers, as- sistants to the doctor or nurse, gym helpers and projectionists. The importance of these jobs, however small, is easily exemplified. What utter chaos would result from such a seemingly insignificant task as the sorting of absentee slips, if it were left undone! Workers in the lunchroom help the staff to serve the noon meal in surroundings that are orderly and sanitary. Many students work behind the counter to sell the food while others straighten and clean the lunch- room between lunch periods. Checks, also handled by Service Club members, are sold before school and at the beginning of each lunch period. Gym helpers relieve the physical education teachers of some of their load by refereeing games. This service allows the teachers to take care of much of their paper work and facilitates more personal supervision.

A basic tool of education is the use ot machines to augment textbook information and lectures. Such a tool is used at Soldan in the varied forms of audio-visual equipment. Film and filmstrip projectors, radios, record players, a tape recorder and even a television set are among these useful aids. These ma- chines require skilled workers to operate smoothly. Herein lies the purpose of the Pro- iectionist Club. Members of this organization Cwhich is also part of the Service Club? donate their study hall time to run these machines for any teacher who requests them. To quality for these positions, a student must have good grades and a good citizenship record. These requirements passed, he proceeds on through a month of intensive training by an experi- enced projectionist under the sponsor ot the group, Mr. Carl Landis. lf the test of pro- ficiency is passed at the end of this period, he becomes a member of the group. Not all students become skilled in the operation of all facilities in the audio-Visual department. Some are specifically trained for certain jobs: if a member has exceptional skill, he is allowed to learn more and more about the related phases of audio-visual edu- cation. One student Went on to learn such processes as recording on magnetized tape, systems of splicing, and other such tasks. ln order to keep the department running efficiently, all members meet in room li7 for advisory. Here, in addition to routine busi- ness, schedules are made, assignments are distributed, and the duties of the day are arranged. rojecfioniznfa t 1 PA. trouble.

Sixty-five .,. 64.4 We're from Soldanl Sixtyesix The Pep Club, one of the most popular organizations at Soldan, is composed of girls from all terms. The club endeavors to promote better school cooperation and spirit, as the name would suggest. The methods by which the members achieve their aim are numerous and interesting. For instance, this term a party was held for freshman girls. Designed to welcome these students and make them feel part of Soldan unity, the occasion was filled with enjoyment for all who attended. Cokes and congo lines, fast dancing and fast talking all formed a swinging party. The most widely known of the Pep Club's activities is the sale of school pencils, book covers, buttons, pom-poms, and other items. These articles are designed especially for Soldan in Maroon and Gold. Many Pep Club members serve as Super- salesmen to help the sale of basketball and football season tickets, and all should attend all athletic functions to boost team spirit. As may have been gathered, the most important requirement for a prospective mem- ber is school spirit and plenty of it! Abundant energy is also a great aid to keep up with the activities planned by the executives. Meet- ings are generally every second Friday, and new members are always welcome.

Gladney, many Soldan students are both delighted and stimulated, for in room 300 you will find six of the most pleasant and uplifting musical groups any- Where. The peak performers in this Music Family are in the A Cappella Choir. Before he can become a member of Choir, however, there are several other music groups through which the student must pass. In these groups he must learn the fundamentals of music, note reading, and allow his voice to mature prop- erly for Choir. The entire school was entertained on var- ious occasions by these songbirds: Christ- mas Carolina is traditional: the senior class was honored by their skill on Class Day and Graduation. In the Spring term the choir sang for the City-Wide Music Festival. OFFICERS FALL TERM President ,................. ,..,.........

Among these values is the elevation of cultural standards in our society through the appreciation of music, vocal and instrumental. At Soldan, the Senior Girls' Glee, under the direction of Mr. Charles H. Gladney, has been successful in its effort to produce good music for many occasions. The girls have performed in our auditorium sessions and in the city-Wide music festival presented at the Kiel Auditorium in the Spring semester of 1960. After climbing the musical ladder for many semesters these girls admit that music is fun but hard Work. The forty-five minute rehearsal each day seems very short because much time and effort must be put into the rendition of each piece of music in order to promote an effective organization. Senior Girls' Glee is sometimes referred to as the Senior Chaminade, after Madam Chaminade, Who was the first Woman to be recognized in the musical field. lt has been passed down from year to year and is con- sidered an important name to the students in Lib1'CIfiO11S .....f..f....,............

There is probably no country on the globe where the rudiments of music are so widely diffused among the masses as in America. Since the dawn of our history Americans have sung of their experiences, their troubles, and their aspirations. The music has been used to express joy, sorrow, hope, and despair. The effort to bring out the richness and seriousness of music is a tendency prevalant in the songs of our lr. Girls' Glee Club. This tradition has been passed down year by year and, as stated by Frederick Goldbeck, Music, more than any other art, was born under the law of tradition. Under the direction of Mr. Gladney the lr. Girls' Glee has succeeded in continuing this tradition. During the past years the music groups have availed themselves of the songs of Sol- dan as a foundation for many of their elabo- rate works in outside performances. The lr. Girls' Glee has also performed in our audi- torium on many occasions. When this stage is reached, the girls have learned the funda- mentals and techniques of music. Although the next step from Ir. Girls' Glee is normally Sr. Girls' Glee, some may go directly to A Cappella Choir if they have ad- vanced sufficiently in lr. Glee. These students are often those who have considerable interest in music and an outside knowledge of it. Although the A Cappella Choir and the lr. Girls' Glee both have in and color in although not Choir, works are different in many ways, they common the association of tone each piece of music. The club, as effective as the A Cappella very hard toward perfection. ogfi 82 FIRST ROW: Alexander, Steele, Lloyd, Brown, Batts, Hornsby.

Who are the mightiest men of notes? To this question the vocal music department will readily reply, Those in Boys Glee Club, of course! Under the baton ot Mr. C. H. Glad- ney, the school year l959-l96O proved to be one of the group's best. Among a number ot outstanding compo- sitions this group studied were selections by Romberg, Brahms-Gibbs and Randall Thomp- son as Well as a special arrangement ot the Soldan Alma Mater. ln the tall term, the Boys' Glee started the year by participating in an auditorium session given by the vocal music department. The Spring term brought an even greater treat when the Soldan club teamed up with several hundred members ot Glee Clubs Irom other Public Schools in the City-Wide Music Festival. At this performance the group sang ln Silent Night by Brahms-Gibbs and Rift Song from Sigmond Romberg's Desert Song. Learning new music constantly, the Boys' Cflee members studied different styles and types of music. Their selections ranged from Thompson's oratorio Testament of Freedom to Spirituals and light works such as the Yale Glee Club Series De Animals A-Comm and an arrangement ot Alma Mater.

During the school year of l959-l96U the Mixed Chorus was one of the busiest choral groups in the school. The students were ex- posed to a variety of musical experiences. These experiences ranged from the singing of fun songs and the finding of different keys, to the discussion of the Gregorian Chant as it appears in the advent carol O Come Emmanuel. Early in the semester, a vigorous program was begun with the ultimate aim the reading of musical notations. During these early months, Every Good Boy Does Fine, and Face -the jingle and the word used to designate the names of the lines and spaces in the Treble Clef, were familiar sayings around room three-hundred. There are fifty girls and six boys in Mixed Seventy-two Chorus. This does not make for the best mixture or balance of voices which one would expect in a Mixed Chorus. However, the director has maintained that these few male voices have been able to hold their own. This choral group has appeared in two choral presentationsg an auditorium session introducing the vocal groups of SOLDANQ and a Christmas program in which these groups sang the traditional Christmas songs. Under the directorship of Mr. Charles H. Gladney, we are sure that we will see many of the Mixed Chorus group in the A Cappella Choir and the various Glee Clubs. The by-laws of the Chorus provide for five officers. These officers are elected in the fall and spring terms. r Wmxeol 610101.16 OFFICERS FALL TERM President ,,w,,,,,-,,,, .........

This basic knowledge includes music history, theory, and the beginning of four part singing. Most of these students are recommended by their elementary school teachers because they possess certain musical talents. These talents may later be developed into useful musical activities in high school years. The activities of the General Music class not only include singing but also listening to recordings, which all agree is fun! The class for the Fall semester started with an enrollment of 97 students. Through various class discussion and voice testing methods the instructor finds many students of wide and varied talents. Some of these talents are discovered among students who have developed a certain degree of pro- ficiency at the piano, or may be potential solo- ists and or instrumentalists. lf a student has participated in Vocal Music for four semesters, he is eligible for a V Y y music emblem or letter. The emblem, re- sembling a lyre, is displayed proudly by students. Oh, what a beautiful morning! By performing before the school in several auditorium sessions, the boys and girls in this group gained poise and experience.

Lester Bowie has the single goal of producing good music. lt does this in two separate yet related ways-through the con- cert unit and through the marching band. As a concert unit, it plays everything from Bach and Beethoven, which soothes us in our listening moods, to syncopated swing which enlivens our dancing moods. The same general types of music are played on the marching field, with the addition of robust American marching songs. ln both capacities our band is good! The Soldan High School Senior Band not only plays well but also looks good. This, of course, can be easily ascertained by sim- ply observing the fine maroon and gold uni- forms which were purchased by the Mothers' Club and other Soldan organizations at a cost of about eighty-five dollars per uniform. This was certainly money well spent. That versatile Senior Band of ours keeps our school spirit burning with its rollicking march songs at football games and pep ses- sions: it serves as an ambassador of good will by representing one of the fine Soldan organizations when it participates in commun- ity activitiesg and it aids in bringing culture to the Soldan students when they just sit and listen to it. Thank you, Senior Band and Director Bowie, for the job you are doing. An important member of the Soldan family of fine musical groups is the String Ensemble. It concerns itself with the playing of gems of musical composition. The works of such composers as Ludwig von Beethoven, Franz Schubert, and Tchaikowski are familiar to them, and they master such difficult compo- sitions as Tales from the Vienna Woods by Strauss and Minuet from Berenice by Handel with elegance, ease, and excellence. lt is easy to deduct, therefore, that these .giving nziemgd are advanced music pupils. Four of the members of this organization have mastered their instruments so well that they have been asked to join the All-City Orchestra. How- ever, all the students are skillful and excel in the use of their instruments. This fact is evident when we hear many sparkling compli- ments received from the public, following each community appearance made by the String Ensemble.

Seventy-five ramafic guifal Once upon a time For many years one ot the most important and largest clubs at Soldan has been the Dramatic Guild. Under the guidance of Miss Gertrude Lucas, the organization encourages any activity associated with the theater. The Dramatic Guild meets every other Wednesday. Here the members participate in skits, monologues, and discussions. Films and field trips also provide interest for those per- sons who are in the club. Membership in the Dramatic Guild is open to all students interested in any phase of dramatics. However, one must audition before he is accepted. This audition consists of read- ing a few' passages, portraying emotions by facial expressions, and pantomime. lt the person exhibits any sign of talent, he is ad- mitted.

The main functions of drarnatics are to acquaint the student with an adequate his- torical background of the drama and theatre, as well as to give them a dual experience. It gives those students with a keen interest in the actual acting phase of the theatre a chance to use their talents in real produc- tions. The fall semester class specialized in monologues. Dramatics is a course for those students who wish to try to appreciate fine plays and to receive such personal benefits as poise and self-assurance.

Students who enter this class begin their studies with the learning of the three basics of a radio script of any type, be it drama or commentary. Then follows a study of many interesting techniques of how a broadcast is presented on the air, following which the members of the class prepare scripts and read radio plays to try to put meaning into the lines. The highlight of all this studying comes for those students who are chosen for parts in the play which is usually presented on KSLI-I. This broadcast brings to each partici- pant a feeling of accomplishment, but most important, it brings about good team work. The Educated Schoolhouse by Francisca Emerson Brown was presented the first semes- ter this year. FIRST ROW: Ballentine Blache, Knuckles, Austin, Tay lor, Brown.

This class, open to all students term five through eight, is the Dramatics Class. Among other things, the students in this class study the history of drama, pantomime, voice and diction, characterization and acting. One part of the semester is set aside for the reading and presentation of a worth-while play. During the first semester the Dramatics Class specialized in monologues. The second semester found the class preparing a play which was requested by the Student Council. The play concerned the Code of Honor and was written with the intention of having it presented to the student body to impress the Code of Honor upon them. Members of the class were given the oppor- tunity to see their first legitimate stage play, Mary Stuart, which was presented at the American Theatre during the week of April 4. The world of the theatre is a magic realm where people of all nations find inspiration, relaxation, and most important, an understand- ing of neighboring countries. One of Soldan's active organizations is Radio Production, which stimulates the minds and imaginations of the members of the class by having them write scripts. On April 4 the Soldan Radio Workshop players participated in a Radio play at KSLH. The play presented was A Coat of Many Colors by Mary Agnes Thompson. The story was about a young woman who wanted to get the people's view of Communism. She interviews a bus driver, a husband, a mother, a college student, and an ex G.l. The sum total of all her interviews is that America is a coat of many colors. It was under the guidance of Miss Lucas.

Adhering to this prin- ciple, the Soldan Library has a central posi- tion in the school Work of the Soldan student. Augmenting the information available in text- books, the references contained in the Soldan collection are among the best in the city: in addition source material for term papers and research, college catalogues and career mater- ials, and various periodicals are available for student assimilation. Attempting to fulfill our lighter needs, a superb collection of fiction and fact, poetry and plays, recreational books and non-fiction volumes, provide each student with buffers for his qayer moods of relaxation. Indicative of the interest and appreciation of the average Soldanite is the number of books used solely in the library and also those checked out for home reading.

Taking pictures and developing films should become interesting hobbies to the members of this newly organized club. CA... CM Chess has been a game oi skill and con- centration for many centuries. Originating in Asia the word chess comes from the Persian word shah meaning king. Some think chess was invented in India and then intro- duced into Persia. The Arabs learned the game when they conquered Persia in the 600's. They brought chess with them to Spain and from there it spread to the rest of Europe. Benjamin Franklin made it popular in the United States. Carrying on in the paths of such famous men as Napoleon, Voltaire, and Frederick the Great, the Soldan Chess Club, organized two years ago, spends every Monday after school in the library. The members compete with each other for honor, glory, and a place on the Chess Team. The best players are chosen for this team which engages other schools in tourna- ments. Due to the lack of experienced players our team participated in few tournaments However, we did meet University High and McBride. laani5A Buenas dias, senores y senoritasl Como esta' usted? No, these words are not utter nonsense as any student of Spanish would know. Rather these phrases are very simply, Good morning, ladies and gentlemen: how are you? They are among the first words and sentences the beginning students in Span- ish classes learn. The Spanish language is considered one of the most valuable to learn, tor in the United States one of our closest neighbors is Mexico, which provides many of us with an immediate use for a newly acquired language. South American countries, too, are our good Spanish- speaking neighbors. For this reason, Spanish can be and has been a most challenging subject to many Soldan students. ln order to increase interest and knowledge of Spanish history, customs, and language, the Spanish Club was established. Now under the sponsorship of Mrs. Rasmussen, the group's activities run the gamut from such cultural exchanges as discussion of the importance and origin oi the language to more relaxing projects such as records, movies, and pen pals.

Every Tuesday in room ll7 an outstanding club meets. This is the Science and Math Club. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Landis, this organization was formed to develop scientific talent and to increase interest in science and math. This fall the club engaged in small proj- ects, math games, and simple physical science experiments. Several field trips were also taken. One of these was to the St. Louis Academy of Science: another, to the Science Fair. Another function of this group was the financial assistance to members planning in- dividual experiments. In order to qualify for membership in this organization, one needs an interest in science or math and a C average in these subjects. OFFICERS PrGSideni ....................................

Many organizations have formed bowling teams and have even organ- ized tournaments. At Soldan this popularity has been equalled, as evidenced by the re- cently established Bowling Club. Organized by Mr. Oliver Tyler, and con- tinued under the sponsorship of Miss 'Valena Broussard, the club started the semester with a striking clatter of pins. Even students who had never before attempted the art of bowl- ing, found relaxation, recreation, and just plain fun! Meeting at Ringside Lanes on Tuesday's from four o'clock to five thirty in the evening, enthusiastic Soldanites Cwho have at least an average grade in citizenshipl learn to bowl or improve existing skills under the instruction of professional bowlers. Numerous members practice in sparetime to improve their game. The present membership of thirty-five stu- dents shows definite signs of increasing as new people enter Soldan. bLl'l'LCl,l'l l, tL0l'l5 The Human Relations Club, by promoting ethical ideals and better understanding be- tween people of all backgrounds, has estab- lished a firm foundation for opening new doors to Brotherhood through the adults of tomorrow. The club meets after school on alternate Wednesdays. The steering committee, which is responsible for the various types of pro- grams-movies, panel discussions, and sim- ilar events, consists of members of all terms who are interested in human relations. From October to May, the club takes part in Inter-Group Youth meetings, which are held every Saturday on the Washington Uni- versity Campus, at the Student Center. This phase of the club's program is terminated by a City-wide Inter-Group Youth Conference held at Soldan during Brotherhood Week. The Human Relations Club is affiliated with the Red Cross in another special project. Fill- ing Christmas stockings for disabled Veterans is a yearly activity. Through the joint leadership of Miss Pauls and Mrs. Sidner, the Human Relations Club has had a very rewarding year. HUMAN RELATIONS FIRST ROW: Holley, Myers, Surratt, Saffold, Trudo, Brown Heard.

On the left sat a young lad, forehead in palm, poring over a difficult term in geometry. Next to him some- one was explaining the steps behind it. Near the window sat a miscellaneous group dis- cussing new concepts in physics: further on another student diligently worked on her Eng- lish, while her classmate muttered to herself, declining Latin verbs. This was a qroup of students of all terms, seeking to better their school work in the Tutoring Club. To help their friends and fellow students, many students having an A or B average in a subject devote their time before school to aiding those having difficulty. Under the guidance of Mrs. Sidner the members of the Tutoring Club constantly encourage a greater interest in studies. Any student may come for help if he is sincerely interested. In eX- tending this helping hand, the Tutoring Club is most assuredly performing a real service for Soldan.

The prac- tice of courtesy and sportsmanship, a necessary key to the door of success, enables us, the future citizens, to preserve the spirit of competition and teamwork. Sports at Soldan are classified as an extra-cur- ricular activity which receives no credit. Never- theless, it takes a very creditable person to par- ticipate successfully in them. An athlete has to have not only great physical fitness, but also good conditioning of the mind. l-lovvever, these tvvo-fold benefits are not the only ones derived from athletic competition. The door to co-operation in our world today is partially dependent on high school sports.

Its secondary purpose is to instill within those who have already gone out for sports the will, courage, and desire to continue participat- ing with enthusiasm in their chosen endeavor. Member- ship in this club provides an immeasurable degree of pride for the member-pride in himself, in his sport, and in his school. The Letterrnen's club was organized seven years ago for the purpose of helping the school's athletic program. This year the Club was quickly organized under the sponsorship of Coach W. O.

Leading the school in cheers at games and during rollicking pep sessions, these girls give to the school and to the teams their greatest gift-loyalty and support. How do these walking bundles of energy and enthusiasm become cheerleaders? Simple . . . almost! Each April, Soldan girls are given the opportunity to try out for the cheer- leading squad and for six anxious and ach- ing weeks go through vigorous practice ses- sions. Finally the day of elections is upon them, and the fortunate girls are judged and chosen by the cheerleaders, the sponsor, Miss Valena Broussard, and two additional faculty members. After elections the new cheerleaders be- gin practice sessions which extend from May to September . . . and on! Always practicing, never allowing their spirits to tail, these eight Soldanettes cheer our Tigers on, encouraging them to do their best. FALL Captains ............

Due to inexperience and injury, the Tigers finished the 1959 season with a 2-5-2 overall record, and a 1-4-2 Public High League mark. The team, however, was much better than the record indicates, as many of our losses were by small margins. The season started on an auspicious note as We triumphed over DeAndreis 7-U. Red- ding's six yard plunge and Wright's conver- sion pass to Stevens accounted for our tally. Our second contest, a non-league game with McKinley, who were '59 PHL champions, proved to be a disappointment, as we were crushed by a power-laden Goldbug squad 38-O. However, the game was not as much of a rout as the score indicated: two SHS touchdowns were called back by penalties, and on another occasion we lost the ball within striking distance of the goal line. Our first league opponent, Roosevelt eked out a 14-9 victory. The game was highlighted by Wright's 52 yard pass play to Covington. Roosevelt's tough defensive line held the Bengals on the three yard mark for three plays and left the field victorious. In the next two encounters the Maroon and Gold tied a fired-up Red Wing team from Central, l3-13, and dropped a heartbreaker to Beaumont 14-13. Again at Cleveland, penalties continued to plague the team as we tied the Dutchmen 7-7. Redding scored on a plunge with Wright running the extra point. The l959 edition of the Soldan-Sumner rivalry chalked up one for Sumner as we Ninety dropped a hard fought game 14-O. Hampered by injuries we were unable to score, but our tough defense held the high-flying Bulldogs, previously undefeated, to two touchdowns. Our first league victory came at the ex- pense of O'Fallon, as the Hornets lost 21-6. Ground play was the watchword as we rushed for 190 yards. Redding tallied one TD, Hugh Davis, the other two. We closed our season with a fine team effort against Southwest, by far the best of the campaign. We led a fine Longhorn squad in rushing and passing, but came out on the short end of a 12-6 score. This year's season is best summed up Coach W. O. Sanders: W' e have a good foot- ball program, which should keep us going for for the next few years. Since attitude plays such a major roll in sports, we feel that the teams of the future will be much better. The boys are eager to learn and that is always a good ornen in the teaching profession.

Queen, Ninety-two Silence pervaded the auditorium . . . 1400 people excitedly caught their breath . . . The Queen of Love and Beauty of Soldan's football team isYMiss Dora Humphrey! Enthusiastic applause thundered through the aud and echoed in the empty halls. This was the climax to the Football team's coronation, so anxiously awaited by court and Royal Entourage alike. A beautifully decorated throne room greeted the student body as they reported to their seats at two-torty- tive on November twenty-fith. As each young lady and her escort proceeded down the aisle after a burst oi imperial trumpets and the herald's announcement of her royal rank, her attire was skillfully described by Miss Mabel Bainster, vice-president of the Student Council. Her Majesty's three maids, jill jacobus, Mary Ellen johnson, and Dernetra Kikis, and special maid of honor Gwendolyn Woods, preceded her, each wearing ct lovely gown and carrying a bouquet of yellow tea roses. The moment had arrived! Radiant and regal, the queen glided gracefully down the aisle, her escort, Tri- Captain Thurman Stevens at her side. ln her arms were striking crimson American Beauty roses and on her shoulders an exquisite robe oi maroon velvet, lined with gold satin. Followed by her pages, janet Mclntyre and Phyllis Holley, Queen Dora was indeed a majestic vision. The light played about in the many facets of the diaclem-like crown as E. Rodney jones, a locally prominent disc jockey, placed the crown on Queen Dora's head. Later that evening a dance was held in the South Ballroom to honor the Queen and her majestic court- The 1960 Editorial Staff oi Scrip extends to the Queen and her royal court best Wishes for a glorious reign. ggooflaf The Soldan B-Football Team, with a 6-1-1 record, finished the 1959 season tied for second place in the League standings. Coach Darling is confident that this fine showing by the Iunior-Varsity squad indicates a bright future for the Varsity Team. Starting off the season on a good note, the Tigers walloped Hadley Tech, 13-O. At Roose- velt the cubs felt the sting of defeat, 13-6. Fired up by their only defeat, the Tigers smashed Central, 36-12, and Beaumont, 26-12. Their second shutout of the year came at Cleveland, 19-O, after which we tied the prev- iously untouched Sumner Bulldogs, 6-6. O'Fal- lon was the next to feel the power of the cubs as they fell, 20-O. The final game of the season proved to be the most harrowing as the B- Team nipped Southwest in an exciting contest, 13-12. Next year we can look forward to seeing many of the fine players developed on the B-Team doing an excellent job on the Varsity. P065 OU-fl tfy Over the hill and dale, across two football fields, around a half-mile lake, through thorny pine trees and stubborn bushes, in heat, cold, and rain, ran our Soldan cross-country team. Suffering from variable weather and hindered by the absence of experienced cross-country runners, this season's harriers lost more meets that they won, but they nevertheless benefited by their tenacious never-give-up spirit, by the learning of the qualities of sportsmanship, teamwork, and cooperation, and especially by the strengthening of the general musculature and physical stamina. The three returning lettermen, Iames Aber- nathy, Ronald Lewis, and Captain Frazier Alexander were aided by six newcomers. One of the newcomers, Roland Sykes, proved both an excellent runner and a good team- mate, racking up Valuable Soldan points in every meet.

High, won the Consolation Championship from Laboure. Victories over O'l:'allon, 47-31, and McBride, 43-31, preceded the triumph over Laboure, 44-35. Almost as thrilling was our 50-48 victory over our old rival Beaumont, whose teams have often been top-seeded. With only one returning letterman, the Tigers started their basketball season short on experience, but long on talent and deter- mination. The Cagers were handicapped by a lack of height, as was evidenced by losses to repeating state champs C.B.C., and to Roosevelt and Sumner. The Tigers started the season slowly, losing to an extremely tall Roosevelt team, 55-42. ln our next encounter, victory was almost within our grasp, but McBride pulled the game Ninety-four out of the fire and won, 49-48. Our Tigers next suffered two heart-breaking losses to league opponents, the first to Southwest, 51-45, the second to Central 53-51. After the tournament the Bengals played alternately good and bad games against Sumner. Soldan played a fine game, but the taller Bulldogs were too much for us. Against the McKinley Goldbugs, Ron lackson scored 30 points, eclipsed only by lerry Ger- main's 37, as the Tigers went down to defeat, 84-72. CThis was 1ackson's personal high for the season.1 ln league play, the Tigers cap- tured another victory from highly-rated Va- shon, 60-52. Ron Iackson, 5' 11 Bengal guard, was a unanimous all-league all-star choice. He led the Tigers with an almost 20-point per game average. Other Tiger standouts were lvory McDowell, centery Frank Pickens, guard: and Gus Hickman, forward.. These players will provide a fine nucleus for next year's squad.

Seven returning lettermen bolster this year's team. They are Odell Hodges, Frank Pickens, Mike Fisher, Walter Beasley, Donald Robinson, and co-captains Earl Dye and Thur- man Stevens. Newcomers Iohn DeBois, Leon- ard Buckner, Iohn Taylor, and William Red- ding should also be of great help to the team. A late, Wet spring kept the squad in the gyms until the end of March. When the boys finally did get outside, they had only a few days practice before the opening date of the season, which was postponed because of cold and snow. Our first encounter against Lutheran proved to be something of a disappointment as the Bengals were defeated by the Crusaders 7-3. Lutheran, however, had a definite advantage as they had played two previous games. William Redding started on the mound for the Tigers, but needed help from Thurman Stevens in the fifth inning. A stiff breeze made fielding difficult, and many balls that might have easily been caught were carried to and fro by an unpredictable wind. Ninety-six Three practice games were called off be- cause of rain. Our hopes seemed bright as we next met the Lions of Hadley Tech. in a practice game. Our team was much sharper and exploded for five runs in the sixth inning, as they de- feated the boys from Grand and West Bell by a score of 8-4. Alert base running, several walks by Tech. pitchers, and errors by Hadley all contributed to Soldan's victory. William Redding started on the mound for the Tigers, but was relieved by Thurman Stevens in the seventh inning. With thirteen games on this year's schedule the Tigers, one won and one lost at this writ- ing, should go a long way in both the Public High League and the State Tournament.

This statement, although simple in form, is complex in mean- ingg for this sport has been termed by many experts the most difficult and challenging of all sports. It calls for almost perfect co-ordina- tion of both mind and body. If the mind falls behind the body or the body remains less developed than the mind, the obvious result will be failure-failure to achieve the track- man's goal. Coaches W. O. Sanders and Thorn Smith have very diligently worked to make the Soldan track and field participant thoroughly co-ordinated. They have aided the distance boys-those who run the mile, 880, and 440- to develop endurance, which is the life blood for the sprinters-those and 220 yard dashes- of long running. As who run the 60, 100, Coach Sanders instills in their minds necessary techniques which convert energy into speed. The bodies of the field participants are so well-developed that their perfectly toned mus- cles have excellent timing and precise bal- ance. These two qualities make for a good high jumper, pole valuter, shot putter, or broad jumper. The Soldan teams in the past and in the present have been and are success- ful because they have had well-developed boys in all three areas-distance, sprint, and field. 306 However, the work of the coaches is of little avail if the runner himself does not cul- tivate a strong, non-defeatist attitude. Can a weak mind really undermine a strong body? Yes, a weak mind can undermine the strong- est of bodies. Many Soldan trackmen have expressed views that, if it were not for pre- judged ideas concerning their individual races, it would be quite easy for them to win. Evi- dently the problem in track is to acquire both a strong mind and a strong body. History of the Soldan High School track teams indicate that they have in the past suc- ceeded in acquiring a strong body and mind.

Under the leadership of Coach Russell Dippold a new tennis team was formed this year, drawing players from many groups at Soldan. Elected co-captains, Bruce Stark and Walter Smith led the team, but lack of experience hindered them. Encouraging the racqueteer was our initial success over Vashon 5-0. Lady luck did not stay with our boys, however, for we then lost to Central and Sumner. The season ended on a victorious note despite previous struggles, as O'Fallon was defeated 4-l. For a newly formed group, they did well and gained invaluable experience. Present lettermen are Bruce Stark, Walter Smith, Luther Hudson, Fred Ho, and William Iohnson. Ninety-eight wimming SECOND ROW: Robinson, composed of inexperienced swimmers who tried vainly to uphold the many fine tradi- tions of the teams of the past. Heading this group were Captain Dan Kahn and returning letterman Ed Kern. The finmen started off the season on the right foot as they vanquished Vashon and Hadley. They then proceeded to show their lack of depth by losing to the rest of the teams in the league. Near the close of the season McKinley and O'Fallon beat our mer- men by very small margins, showing that our swimmers improved as the season progressed only to be faced by the heavy toll that gradu- ation will take. Lettering this year were: Dan Kahn, 40-100' 200- freestyles, 79 points: Ed Kern, backstroke, butterfly, individual medley, 50 points, Henry Murphy, diving, 26 points: Ben Ouillian, 40 freestyle, Zl pointsg lim Kikis, backstroke, l8 pointsg Bob Weinshenker, 40 freestyle, I7 points. .Sparks Snapa Ninety-ni gi Asa.

Meetings are held regularly every Wednesday under the able sponsorship of Miss Valena Broussard. The main function of the GAA. is to offer girls who are interested in sports an oppor- tunity to learn the rules of the games and to improve their skills and techniques in playing them.
