. . . . . CLASS OF 1950 The class of 1950, with Captain Ray Stewart and Coach Stout, have eagerly overcome the handicaps and enjoyed the activities of their regional year and will wade into semi-final play in the fall. Others elected to main positions on their team this season were .lack Fuller, assistant cap- tain: Beverly Myers, scorekeeper: and Julian Livingston, ticket Qand moneyj taker. Charles Martin and jane Kennedy acted as student managers by serving on the Council. A big game for the Team of 1950 this year was the LEAP YEAR LEAP, a super rug-cut- ting party Q dance, to the creeps in the crowdj, sponsored by the Sophoniores after the VVarren Central game, january 23, The members of this team, energetic and vivacious, are known for their ability to have fun, which has been shown by their frequent class parties, and for having many high- point men always appearing on the scoreboard of the 5.1-1.5. honor roll. They not only have in their ranks outstanding athletes, but are well represented by active members in the high school band, choir, and various other activities. Music hath charms and so does this class-one of their charming females was elected cheer leader for her first year. This is not Marilyn Smith's only talent either, for she helped take care of things over in the school office during fifth periods while jane Kennedy, one of her class pals, slaved away over there during fourth hours. Betty Engle w:ts one of Miss Stout's library forwards, along with Beverly Myers, Barbara Gwinn, Sandra Longs, julian Livingston, and Barbara Patterson. Betty Engle and Ruth Robinson carry on for the Sophs in the Debate Club. The Latin Club, the Dramatic Club, as well as the F.H.A. and Hi-Y, claim many active members from this class. Jane Kennedy, Pauline Parke. and Ruth Robinson were candidates from the F.B.l..A. for the Athletic Queen. Jane was the lucky, lucky girl who reigned on the F.B.T. throne. Some of the weaker sex as well as the stronger Qwe won't debate which is whichj represent our buddies, the Sophs, in the solid sending organizations of S.H.S. David Thomas and Margie Mcllaniels get on the beat with the Drum Ensemble of the band and 'Pauline Parke gives out with the saxophone quartet. CRumors have it that Ronnie Bland is alreet with a sax. too.j Charlie Martin, that big oompa player in the band, can also stretch his vocal cords when he has to Cand that seems to be all the timej, for he is a member of the Choir Madrigal group and the boys' Octette. Dick Kaufman joins Charlie in both groups, making the choir twicc as good, naturally. Phyllis Brown in the Girls' Trio, Beverly Myers in the Madrigal group, and Mary Austermiller Cwho can, by the way, really make music on a typewriter tooj in the Girls' Sextet, helped those groups come through with a first division in the contest this year. Bob Coughlin tyou remember him as Mercury, the speed king, don't you?j and Johnny Guion, another lively Soph, help bolster the cornet section of the band. :X foul against fate occurred as a time out was called for the team, about the middle of February, when Jack Fuller broke his ankle. Ray Stewart, president of his class, an honor student, a top clarinet man in the band, and a skilled basketball player, proved his ability on the varsity five even though he didn't get to play until mid-season due to an arm injury. Little, but mighty, were the football players from this class of 1950 as with their energetic spirit, they helped the Sparkies win the County and Mid-State Championships. Ronny Bland came through with the honor of earning a football letter in his Sophomore year and also received Honorable Mention on the all Mid-State Football Team. Not to be forgotten are those who slaved on the track team. Dave Ledhetter led the Sophomore boys in this event. The boys, however, aren't the only ones who came through with top athletic honors, for the girls of this class captured the coveted Girls' Inter-Class Basketball Tourney title from the Seniors in the final game. , So we present to you the team of 1950 -may they achieve their many goals and come through the finals with top trophy honors in the tourney of higher education,
