'I' fa SOUTHPORT HIGH SCHO0L'INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA .1 Seniors, who are now ex- periencing the realization that graduation is about here, try on their caps and gowns for size. THE 1951 ANCHOR We have chosen as our theme, Caesar's famous adage, Veni, Vidi, Vici, which means l came, I saw, I conquered. However, We have changed it to We came, We saw, We conquered. Within these pages of the 1951 Anchor, We attempt to depict in these three different divisions the events Which have impressed us the most and which have formed a memorable part of our life during our four years at South- port High School. By this pictorial method, We have endeavored to record a permanent record oi our services, achievements, and social events at Southport High School. we I I I .fe- We came . . . the majority of us from six different grade schools, University Heights, Edgewood, Bluff, Southport, St. Rock's and Glenns Valley. We came to Work and play together in our classes, clubs, and activities. As we came together, we learned to put aside our differences and to live together in harmony. As freshmen we had the fears of being late to classes, get- ting lost in the mob, being confused with the lunch periods, Walking on the gym floor, and being called in on the green carpet, to have our misdemeanors corrected. When school opens in the tall, one of the most frequented places is the bookstore Where pens, pencils, Workbooks, paper, and many other usetul acticles are sold under the supervision of Mrs. Weaver. Atter we overcame our first fears of the upper- classmen, We started participating in the social affairs, such as going to rollerskatinq parties, class parties, and dances. THE With the coming of winter, came the big snow drifts too. We were dismissed several days because of this deep snow and icy roads, but the pugnacious plow plowed purposefully to our downfall so that we were again called back to classes. Many sets of twins have corne to Southport High School- Gary and Ierry Butner, lanet and Ianice Nugent, and Sharlet and Shirlee Forth, all freshmen, Bob and Dick Weddle, juniors, and Carol and Esther Moeller, sophomores. Carol and Esther represent Southport on Block's Fashion Board where girls from numerous schools do modeling for Block's. We came to Southport High School and enrolled in the various classes, both irorn the standpoint of knowledge and from the Work associated with them, hoping that someday the knowledge which We acquired through books and through associations would help us in the future to climb to the top rung on our ladder of success. Even though we are now on city delivery, Mr. Young still brings us mail from the Southport post office. Mr. Eedo Kaliumaqi journeyed from Germany and came to Southport for the first time this school year. He and Carl Fink look over the Christmas tree which the Senior-ority plans to decorate for the front hall. Here, we also find Allen Martindale Waiting for the bell to catch him off guard. During the lunch periods We Will always find Don Knight and Frances Tommamchel working industriously in the dishwashinq room amid a few other capers. Of course, would not be They come io by performing The alternaies the football and basketball games complete Without the color guards. support the qame in their own way at the half during the varsity games. Which serve are Gloria Hill, Sharlei Forth, Shirlee Forth, and Linda Riley. V t B00 TER CL B The secret to a good team is its morale. The Booster Club, to which any student may belong, has as its main objective to encourage school spirit and to strengthen its morale. Therefore it plans pep sessions to be given before each important athletic event. However it offers many other services such as ushering at the Easter Sunrise Service and buying new records for the juke-box. Planning for these varied activities are Ierry Danner, presidentp Bob Cameron, vice-president, and Ioan Eberhari, secretary-treasurer, under the direct sponsorship of Walter G. Kellarn, Dean of Boys. F52 K l ' W- A K P b K- - x , 4, Coming to see the football and basketball games, all became a part oi our lite. During the halves, remember the silence that reigned when the color guards brought the flag into View and the National Anthem was played. The color guards which helped to make this such an impressible scene were Barbara Westerfield, Mary lane Iarvis, Marlouise Kleis and Betty Lampher. HOW TI Arnerica's favorite pas- time--eating. At Southport this is very true for the cafeteria is a very important and popular place. When the bell rings for the lunch periods to begin there is a great rush to get in line and to get something to eat. After eating comes fun- making With this crowd as you can see every second lunch period. Then there are those with a sweet tooth who are seen in the candy store line. The coming of the lunch periods also brings danc- ing on the stage. There are those who Would rather dance than eat for they gulp down their food in a big hurry in or- der to dance with their triends. The Long and the Short of It . . . Wee ireshies offered strong cohtrdst to the mighty Senior, Iesse Eiermdnn, but Eiermdrin with his height did not dcrunt the spirit of these freshies, for they know thctt they too, can grow up in four years. However, most ot us cts freshmen do look up to the seniors, to their wcrys cmd ideas. Uur Principal As the ambitious leader of Southport High School, Mr. C. C. Leedy gives much ot his valuable time to school activities. It is largely through his steadfast interest in the welfare of the school and its students that Southport has gained its first-class rating in the North Central Association. MINI TR TIO Although each of us interprets the theme in his own in- dividual way, together we form one united body striving to uphold and maintain the ideals oi our school. To be a united body, however, we need something like a magnet to pull us together and to guide us through un- iamiliar territory. This is our administration. Most of us do not realize the time that they give towards making us happier in our living at Southport. The clubs and classes they sponsor, the parties they plan, the student activities they attend and the knowledge they try to teach us, are all things for which we should be gratified and for which we should always remember them. Our Trustee . . . Nelson P. Swift, trustee of Perry Town- ship, has through his progressive ad- ministration, obtained the permission to build a new Iunior High School which will relieve the over crowded condi- tions of Southport High School and the grade schools. It has been Mr. Switt's aim during his term to place Southport at the top of the township schools in the State ot Indiana. Our Deans . . . During our four years at South- port, we have learned to regard our deans, Miss Penrod and Mr. Kellam, with great admiration. In acting as a bond between the students and the administration, they are sincere, understanding, and always trying to see the best in us. They give their time treely in helping us to meet our difficult problems and daily needs. It is through their efforts and the rest oi the administrations' tire- less endeavors that we came, we saw, We conquered. F acult Helen J. Chandler A. B.

Yes, We saw new faces, many of which were to play a great part in our lives. Extracurricular activities, such as Various clubs, parties, dances, and sports, soon began to occupy much of our time outside of our classes. We laughed and cried at the antics and predicaments ot the characters in the plays. Our senior, Ierry Danner, was victorious too, for by some mysterious circumstance the boys brought home the coveted United Nations Flag. We saw students planning and decorat- ing for our dances. Here it seems to be the Saint Patrick's Jig Dance, which was in March. Iudging grain was done by the agricul- ture boys under the guidance ot Mr. McCormick. They saw and compared the different grades of grain. Buy now or regret later was the saying when the Anchor, the yearbook of South- port High School, Went on sale. The book serves as a record for all the memorable times spent at Southport. All boys who are interested in participat- ing in a sport and who are not taking part in play With other schools are eligible to join the intramural teams. There are teams in basketball and baseball and here we see Mr. Morgan and the captains of the intramural basketball teams discussing the rules of the games. School ouncil Speaks . . .

This year, under the direction of Miss Virginia Bower, the ambitious vocalists staged The Pirates of Penzance, a popular pirate satire and one of the most melodious operas written by the beloved team, Gilbert and Sullivan. W' e cannot forget that in this opera occur the songs, Oh, Better Far to Live and Die, When a Felon's Not Engaged in His Employment, and Sighing Softly to the River, which rank with Gilbert and Sullivan's best later Works. The cast included Shirley Beed, Glen Hager, Clyde Howlett, Marvin Chilton, Pat Buckner,fGene Wilson, Bob Cameron, Patsy Grow, Lois Ramsey, and Gertrude Crumrine. Roberta Voss acted as student director. Last year the music department presented lcabod Crane, in which Clyde Howlett, Betty Nabring, Glen Hager, and Martha Osborn had the leads. Supporting roles were played by Ed Baymann, james Howard, lean Turner, Norma Harms, and lohn T. Martin. A scene from Ichabod Crane, the operetta, was presented by the vocal mu- sic department last spring. The characters are, from left to right, Iohn Martin, Ed Baymann, Norma Harms, and lean Turner. Glenn I-lager, in the role of the dashing Brom Bones, and the chorus of Dutch girls sing in this scene from Ichabod Crane, which is based on Washington lrv- ing's famous Legend oi Sleepy Hollow. Mrs. Lugenbill, the director of the operetta, is shown in the ioreground. These members of the ever - necessary production staff help make up the characters for the perfor- mance. Their work helped make the operetta a success. Behind The Footli his .... 1950-51 Thespians brought to the footlights Mother Was A Freshman, directed by Mrs. Elsa Majors. These showmen proved themselves worthy oi their parts through the many hours of rehearsals. To the right Mother and Daughter, Lyndal Reed and Larilla Brown rehearse a scene for the Big Senior Production of the year. There is no better feeling that can come to an actor than that of a successful performance and these Senior's lowered their curtain proudly. I 660ur Hearts Were Young and Gay!! The Iuniors raised their curtain on Our Hearts Were Young And Gay under the direction ot Mrs. Kathleen Ritchie. Oh, what hours of sweat comes from a dress rehearsal, but oh, what fun! Fun? Was it fun when the lights went out, when the bunk beds fell through? Ask these Iuniors, they will tell you. But nevertheless, with butterflies in their stomachs, these thespians pushed through with success. Dramatics brought forth much talent from the Iuniors that night. aster Qunrise berhice The Day of Resurrection is celebrated annually by the churches and schools in Perry Township. This fourteenth Easter Sunrise Service had as its theme Death is swallowed up in Victory. Miss Blanche Penrod was the General Chairman with the various ministers of the township acting as nar- rators carrying the service forth in splendor. The Iunior, Youth, and Senior Choirs presented music for the different divisions of the Praises of the Children, Praises of Youth, Praises of Maturity, and Prayer for Peace. A new attraction this year was the verse choir directed by Mrs. Kathleen Ritchie which presented I Would Be True. Bob Cameron and Robert Anderson were the soldiers, Pat Buckner and Lyndal Reed, the wornen, and Marilyn Hohn, the angel, serving for the third consecutive year in the annual tomb scene. FAC LTY E TERTAI if it Highlighting the yecrrs spent crt Southport High School is the faculty pctrty when the tectchers forget their dignity by letting their hctir doWn. This is on evening never to be forgotten. lt hots been g trdditioncxl event since 1930 when the old high school was moved to the new building, at its present loccrtion. Our Activities Durin the Year Since 1949, Southport High School has celebrated the Christmas season by decorating the front of the building. This has been made possible through the work and co-operation of the art department, the shop boys, and the capable director, Miss Blanche Penrod, as well as the entire school body as a Whole. This was financed by the various organizations of the school. We are proud of this project and hope that it may continue in the future years. Four years at Southport may seem a small percentage of the years of your life but they are four years that will stay with you forever. After we graduate we will remember all the planning of the decorations, the refreshments, and the entertainment for the biggest dance of all, the Iunior, Senior Reception. Seniors await this big night when the juniors honor them with this dance. The Pagan Love Song was the theme tor 1951. They decorated with palm trees, a pond, bamboo fence, and moon and stars. This represented and brought to life scenes ot the South Sea Islands. Frank Willard provided the music ior this occasion. During the floor show entertainment was presented by the Arthur lordan Conservatory students. Soon we will become homesick for this Prom, the Graduation Dance, and then too the cheeseburgers we got at the Circle when the dances were at an end. To help keep a lasting memory of these wonderful times, pictures were taken of couples by the Epply Photograhers. if lane Nelson, Anita Williams, Kathryn Dampier, Marilyn Hohn, and Ioyce Ulrey are our Yell Leaders. When Southport fans think of sports, they automatically think of the ever-loyal yell leaders. We see their many and varied stunts and routines which take much practice. They act as the magnet, which pulls together hundreds of individuals into a unified student body with two objectives-to have good sportsmanship-and to Win. outhport Athletic Staff These six members of the faculty, who make up the Cardinal coaching staff, are examin- ing one of the many trophies which have come into the school's possession through the years. The trophies, now have a new housing. The case was purchased through the profits of the 1950 magazine drive and was installed early in the school year. Beginning at the left we have Chauncey McDaniels, line coach for the football team and also the coach of the state champion wrestling team. This achievement won Chauncey a big feather for his hat. The freshman basketball. coach, who owns quite an enviable record of leading teams to the Butler Fieldhouse, is Lester Routh. Kenny Wasson is head football coach and reserve basketball coach. He led the pig- skinners to last year's record season. director, Iewell Next comes the athletic Young. He is also varsity basketball and golf' coach. lncidentally golf is a newcomer to SHS due to the entrance of the school into S.C.C. The baseball coach, Ray Linson who is holding the trophy, has compiled quite a record as momentos of the diamond sport. Ray has coached the baseballers to numerous wins and has never had a team finish lower than second in county play for the trophy. His teams have copped 7 out of 13 county championships in his tenure at SHS. Last comes the latest addition to the staff, lack Morgan, who is a second year man. lack is freshman football coach, and sponsor of the Intramural program.

Football Scores 'n Schedule Warren Central Ben Davis Howe Franklin Lawrence Manuel Cathedral Columbus Decatur Central Connersville Southport Southport Southport Southport Southport Southport Southport Southport Southport Southport victories sl' Grid Notes .... lt wasn't because of a lack of good athle- tics, but the football cards just weren't stacked right for the Cards of '5l. The first game was with Warren Central .... the teams walked off the field after a scoreless tie. Their first setback came when Ben Davis invaded Cardinalland and went home with an 18 to 7 victory. The Cards kept up with Howe until the second half of the game when they just couldn't get a hold of Ahearn. Howe won 32 to 13. ln their first South Central opposition Kenny Wasson's charges dropped a close one 19 to 13. Southports next opponent was Lawrence Central. Lawrence swept past the Cards 18 to O. lim Nyers of Manuel was too much for the Card grid team, and Manuel won 19 to 6. ln the next game the team met their toughest opponent of the year, Cathedral, The Irish ran over the Cards by a score of 41 to U. The tide changed when Columbus came to Southport. The Cards showed new spirit and dumped the visitors 6 to O in a close one. Southport was next host to Decatur Central and defeated them by a 12 to 6 score. ln the final game of the season the team ventured to Connersville on a very Wet and cold night. The Cards showed the best spirit and skill of the season and dumped Conners- ville 19 to 2. After the game the seniors who had played their final high school football game, were really glad to have that win so they could show their true emotions. They raced for the end of the football field and one by one dove and slid in a large mud puddle. Even though the team had a losing season, the boys showed what they were made of in the last three games. The team left the field without a dry stitch of clothing on them, but they were indeed a smiling and happy lot. Although the Cardinals couldn't schedule enough teams to appear in the South Central Conference standing, they won two out of three conference games, and the future looks good for the Cardinal teams of years to come. These are the boys of the 1950 football squad. They are left to right starting on the bottom row: Bob Egenolf, Iohn 1-lurrle, Duke Iohnson, Tom Scherschel, Lee McGathey, lim Whitaker, lohn Martin, Gene Kirby, Charles Rau, and Ierry Rhinehartg on the second row are Ierry Grummell, Carl Lasiter, Bob and Dick We-ddle, Dave Ryker, Dave Haviland, Don Iones, Richard Ashman, lack Wilson, Ioe Hawthorne, lim Baker, and Bill Byrurng Dave Kress, Ed Staub, Mike Sweeney, Donald Grubbs, Paul Cleary, Lee Graham, Dick Carter, Bernard Williams, and Phil George are on the top row. Uur ards in Action Dick Ellis is shown here laying up a two pointer in the Elwood garne. lack Wilson is the other Card in the picture. ln the mad scramble for the ball are Iesse Eierrnann and Dick Ellis and two Elwood players.

The record wasn't too impressive but the boys looked good against some top state competition. In the first year of South Central Conference competition, the Cardinals finished second only to Columbus with a six won and two lost record. They defeated Franklin, Greensburg, Seymour, Shelbyville, Martinsville, and won by a forfeit over Ftushville, only Connersville and con- ference champion Columbus swept past the Cards. The Cardinals also won two out of three county games. All three games were played on the home floor. Southport dropped a rough Franklin Township team and Warren Central fell before a Cardinal barrage. A surprising Ben Davis team outlasted the Cards in the last county game of the regular season. Against city competition the Cards just broke even. They lost the first two to Washington and Shortridge, and then made up for a football loss to Cathe- dral, sweeping past the Irish on their home floor and slip- ped past a highly rated Howe team. ln the season's other three games the Cards dropped a two pointer to Elwood, a one pointer to defending s'ate champion Madison, and a fourteen pointer to a strong Center Grove five. In the county tourney, the Cards couldn't get going and dropped their first game to Franklin Township, whom they had defeated earlier in the year, by a 55 to 42 score. The Cardinals got sweet revenge in the sectionals when they crushed Washington by a I9 point margin, 71 to 52, and slipped past Shortridge in a squeaker 44 to 42. Howe ended the Cardinal season in an afternoon game with a 52 to 42 defeat. The Cardinals outscored their opponents in every quarter except the third when they were held score- less from the field and got only four at the charity strip. The Star-News Dream Team choice was Roland Nerding. IeWell's first twelve. They are: Bottom row reading left to right, Gor- die Miner, Roland Ner- ding, Coach lewell Young, Tom Paddock and lim Bakery second row, Kenny Harmon, Bill Carey, man- ager Ierry Donner, Bob Eldridge, and le-sse Eier- manng top row, Bob Wed- dle, Lee McGathey, lack Wilson, and Dick Ellis. Track and the Cards 0 the Future .... Three of Southport's key track men are Bill Byrum, Pick Ellis and Roland Nerding, all lettermen. Here we find them pictured along with Iewell Young, the retiring track coach and lack Morgan, his successor to the post. One of the consistently good Cardinal teams which one hears too little of is coach Kenny Was- son's inhabitants of the preliminary game at Cardinal basketball gathering. The Reserves copped their first 6 consecutive games, lost one, won one, and dropped another before winning five more in a row. They then lost three straight to Columbus, Howe and Martinsville before triumphing in their last contest. This produced a 13-5 mark for the Was- sonmen. At the left are the Cardinal Fledglingsn of 1951. They are pic- tured here along with coach, Lester Routli, in a typical pre-game brief- ing session. The freshies after a running start slowed down to a walk and finished with a 6 won 12 lost record. However, the little Cards just missed a crack at the county title at Butler by losing a playoff game to Ben Davis by 20-17. A few Southport harriers who re- ported to new coach lack Morgan are shown here listening for the crack of the gun. These Cardinal thinlyclads plus the many other reportees were molded into this year's track team. Dick Ellis, Roland Nerding, Lee McGathey, and Bill Byrurn returned from the 1950 squad which was un- able to win a single dual meet all year. However, the Cards mustered up all their energies to place sec- ond in the county meet for the second consecutive year. The Baseball Squad . . . 2 t The 1950 county runnerups. Bottom row, reading left to right: Gordie Miner, Carl Stephenson, Larry Gillum, Ronnie Burnett, Ray Myers, Ierry Danner, and Roland Nerdingp second row, Bob Egenolf, Ed White, Ronnie Brown, lack Wilson, lim Huber, lesse Eiermann, Iohn Schierg top row, Tom Paddock, Ioe Hawthorne, lohn Hurrle, Iohn Martin, Tom Scherschel, Duke lohnson, and Coach Ray Linson. , After having conquered county opposition for two county titles in a row, last year's squad finished second to Decatur Central. Coach Linson's boys got off to a bad start by falling before Ben Davis 5 to 4. This same thing happened five more times in the next eight games as the Cards were able to triumph only three times in the first nine contests. However, a change was in line and the baseloallers swept their last five straight by defeating Warren Central, Howe, Garfield of Terre Haute, Wash- ington, and Connersville. Our 1951 Cardinal nine is competing for the South Central Conference baseball championship due to the league's action of accepting Southport as the ninth member. ' Action with S.C.C. schools last year consisted of three games. Those were a one run loss to Columbus, another loss to Greensburg and an 8 to 7, one run triumph over Connersville. Returning lettermen for this year's campaign were Don Iohnson and lim Whitaker, catchers, Tom Paddock, center fielder and last year's leading hitter with a .525 batting mark, Iohn Martin, Roland Nerding, and Ierry Danner, lnfielders, and Gordie Miner, the only holdover pitcher. 1950 Results Ben Davis 5 SHS Greensburg SHS Franklin Twp. 4 SHS Decatur Central SHS Beech Grove 4 SHS 1 Warren Central SHS Columbus 7 SHS Howe SHS Lawrence Central 0 SHS Garfield CT.H.J SHS Broad Ripple 2 SHS Washington SHS Shortridge 10 SHS Connersville SHS Our State Champs Dec Dec Dec Dec.

When Chauncey McDaniels first talked to his wrestling team at the beginning of the season, he told them exactly what they were going to do. The team did just that, they won the state wrestling tourney. The high-flying Cardinals lost only one dual meet all year, and it took an out-of-state team, Champaign, lllinois, to do it. The only other loss the team suffered was to Shortridge by one point in the Marion County tourney. Southport's matmen got revenge when they ran away from all opposition, including sec- ond place Shortridge in the sectional meet. The Cardinals won eight individual championf ships thus qualifying them for the state tourney. Taking probably the school's most balanced team of all time into the state tourney, the Cardinals took their eight sectional champs to the finals. Without taking a single in- dividual state championship, the team totaled 27 points, enough to bring to Southport the two and one-half foot state championship trophy. The following wrestlers took second place in the tourney: l-larry Basdale at 97 lbs., Bonnie Baumgarr wrestling in the ll4 lb. class, lerry Grummell, wrestling at 140 lbs., Tom Scherschel, weighing in at 167 lbs., and in the nights closest match, lohn Hurrle at l75 placed second by dropping a referees decision to Bob Languell of Bloomingtorfs retired lforceablyl state champs. Those placing third in the tourney were: at 105 lbs., Al Morgan, Maurice Bice in the l29 lb. class, and Bob Pence, at l47, who won his third place, wrestling with a cracked rib. Helping to make the season the success it was, were four other first stringers, Bill Parsons, Charles Rau, lim Whitaker, and Dick Weddle. Coach Chauncey McDaniels has the pro- mise of another good season next year when he will have Harry Rasdale, Al Morgan, Bonnie Baumgart, and Dick Weddle back on the team. We CONQUEI? A 7 089 ,tr 9 so We Conqueredl We conquered . . . During our tour years at Southport High School We have conquered many oi the obstacles which seemed so great to us when We were freshmen. Triumphs in athletics, scholastic achievements, and ex- periences in social activities have highlighted our high school lite. Now that we have our mortar boards and are leaving Southport High School at the end of our four years, we know that We shall al- ways remember it and the little battles fought and Won here. 1 Pat Buckner and Mary Lou Trotter were among the students who re- presented the school in district and state solo and ensemble contests. Mary Lou Trotter won a first division rating on a piano solo in both con- tests. Pat Buckner, who also played a piano solo, won a first division rating in the district contest and a second division in the state. This trophy now stands in the trophy case as a reminder that our 1951 Wrestling squad under coach Chauncey McDaniels conquered all comers in the state meet held at Bloomington. For six years in a row the Bloomington Panthers had copped this annual event until Mac and his boys showed up this year. ln- cidentally Coach two-bits Myers of Bloom- ington was one of Chaunce's class mates at l. U. The eight members of the grappling team which went to Bloomington placed as follows: Harry Rasdale, Bonnie Baumgart Ierry Grum- mell, Tom Scherschel, and lohn Hurrle took second as Al Morgan, Maurice Bice, and Bob Pence placed third. Of me eight Southport got no individual first places however, no one placed fourth either to provide the team balance which Won the championship. Team scoring went like this for the tourney: East Chicago Washington, 3, Hammond Clark, 4, Crawfordsville, 7, Shortridge, 9, lndianapolis Tech, Decatur Central, and East Chicago Boose- velt tied for sixth With l3, Bloomington the dethroned champ had l6 for fifth place, Lafayette Jefferson took fourth while accumulating 18 points, Hammond Tech was third on a 19 point total, South Bend Central scored 23 to give the Cards a scare and finally the new State Cham- pions wound up with 27, three ahead of the runnerups. ome 0 Uur Conquests And As the second semester rolls around, Southport students are seen canvass- ing from house to house for magazine subscriptions. The goal which Was conquered this year was S5,000. This money is to buy automatic-setting clocks for each home room that reached their goal and to help the band defray their expenses. Shirley White and Fred Kottkamp Were high girl and high boy in this year's contest and each received an additional S10 besides the regular commission. Runner-ups were Gretchen Lee, Wilma Willey, David Need, and Bob Spivey. lt seems the girls sur- passed the boys in salesmanship this year for the three highest individuals in the school were the above three girls.

Two initiations are put on each year. ln the fall it is held before the student body, and in the spring it is given for the parents and faculty. Four things determine Whether one is taken in or not. They are student ranking, scholar- ship, activities, and personality. T'he officers of this organization are Charles Rau, president: Bob Pence, vice-presidentg and Nancy Todd, secretary-treasurer. Miss Helen Chandler is the sponsor. Victories Alcohol, the problem ofthe U. S. To encourage the study of this problem, an essay con- test was held.
