About Uur Udd Moments Dt-ar Iuniors. To von graduation is but a milestone in the future. Our class once fostered the same sentiments, but now, as graduation nears, our thoughts vsuunler from glorified dreams ol success to favorite memories of past days. On a sunny September morning in 195351, Bliss lrene llobey started seventeen bright-eyed boys and girls of the present Senior Class on their journev through the twelxe grades-llouny Bland, Pat Bray, joe Etter, Barbara Degener, john Guion. Sandra Long, Dick Kaufman. jane Kennedy, Dave Ledbetter, Pauline Parke. Hay Stewart, Doris XVhite. Dick Boles, Nlarilyn Smith, Dave 'l'honms, Dick Mason. and Kenneth Vincent. Through- out grade school, experiences were those of average growing children: however in junior high, the niitl- eentury grads prepared themselves for the new ad- ventures of high school with Pauline Parke and Ray Stewart as our junior high presidents and Nlr. Lincoln Northeott and Mrs. Hersehel Atkinson, sponsors. .M last. those wonderful days arrived! Wt were finally big rod freslnnen, loving every minute of high school right from the start-even initiation. XVe elected Bob Coughlin. president, and Nliss Agnes Spencer. sponsor. Our special activity of the year was the llilgriin l'rom, school dance. To complete our under- elassinen days. Ray Stewart and Nliss Thelma Stout were chosen to superxise all uudertaliings. such as our Leap Year Leap dance. During our first two years of high school, Ronny bland. always an obliging host. invited us to hold four wonderful class parties in his home. ere We Tell 01 Row 1: Marilyn Sinith-secretary, Bob Coughlin-vice president, Hay Stewart-president. Row 2: Nlr. Trosky-sponsor. David Tlnoinas-treasurer. Senior Slogan We are interested in the future because we expect to spend all our time theref' Uur History To start us on the right road forty-one upperclassmen should take, we elected Ray Stewart, president, and Mr. Floyd Troth, sponsor. Time sped on, our successful play, Spring Feverf, and prom, Star Dust, had whirled by, and we were right in the midst of reception plans when the beautiful new building was ready and eager for its first students. Then all at once-it happenedl NVe were Seniors, the oldest class in school. It was wonderful to be back in the new buildingg nevertheless it took us several weeks to realize this year was to be a different and exciting experience. lt made us feel ve1'y important to be admired by younger students, but, oh, did we feel blue when the realization came that this was our last yearl To make our year complete, we elected Mr. Louis Trosky. sponsor, and Ray Stewart, a fourth tenn presi- dent. YVe have enjoyed a class party, the junior-Senior Reception, our Senior Prom, and play, Love Is Too Much Troublef, Now forty-two Seniors will be the thirteenth class to graduate from Speedway High. A portion of our thirst for education having been quenched, our dreams are to go out into the world, equipped by the knowledge we have received here. to be better men and women. The goals we wish for you are many. but why not malte your objective the same as ours-to be the compe- tent leaders needed for a peaceful world.

She's entitling the book Dt-gener's Dandy Doofersf' This started me wondering, and I decided to find out for myself what's become of the rest of my 1950 classmates. llereis my full report: At the theatre tonight. Beverly Myers is billed to sing the lead in julian l.ivingston's new production, ll'iulel'- limi'-his sequel to Sumnzcrlimc. I notice the accident rate has hit an all-time high in Indianapolis. I wonder il' it's because -lane Kennedy has been promoted to Supt. of Nurses at the Methodist Ilospital? tI,ittle does the public know she's married to the most handsome doctor on the staff.l lt's been several years since Butch XViechers opened his famous dancing school. IIe's champion rug cutter now. Pat Iirav. owner of the Riverside Holler Itink. also gives lessons on how to do her new dance which she calls Suicide on Skates. Dave Ilcbcrden has advanced from K-P duty in the Navy to Admiral. S.D. lS.D. for Super Dnperl, and his brother Don luis opend a Drive-In in every port. famous dish of the month is Dons Drippy Delight. Ilis Hob Coughlin plays the hottest trumpet in town and has his own orchestra now. llis special feature is the new comic dance team, ltay and Clue. Mr. Stewart and Mr. Gibson h,ive combined their talents to form the greatest sensation of the year. VVell, I guess that's the long and sltort offthat. I 4 U rj 9'-I Ronald Thomas has finally met the needs of the people in Speedway by constructing a hotel almost equal to the size of the Empire State building to ac- commodate the race fans. By the way, tomorrow's May 530, and I bet things are really popping back there. I hope joe Etter keeps up the good work in the 500-Mile race this year as it will be his fifth time to finish in first place with his Etter Special. Barbara Patterson is secretary to the new Governor of Indiana, Charles Martin. She isn't satisfied with her present abilities, however, so she's attending night classes at Indiana Central Business College where Doris Mfhite is President. David' Thomas has taken over Mr. Salleeis job at Speedway as Assistant Coach and Driver's Training teacher, while john Cuion is still working hand in hand with Digger O'Dell. johnny owns a flower shop, you see, and his business is blooming. june Essig is doing fine in the literary field as she's now writing a series of joke books. They take the prize because of their originality. jack Fuller, cashing in on his journalistic abilities, is now Editor of the Chicago Sun. As I remember my classmates and their desires, I notice I've kept to my resolutions as I've never married and still live with my cat Whisker, That reminds me, I must take him to Dr. I. D, Crawford tomorrow. I know Donny will know how to cure his severe case of 16 ingrown toenails as he's now a successful Vet and specializes in such delicate operations. George Seymour is better known as Uncle Georgie. llt-'s replaced Uncle NVally-reading the funny papers with tales of his famous adventures, back in the good old days. -Ioan Toomey has advertisements in all the New York newspapers reminding the well-dressed women to go to Toomey,s Torchy Tunicsn Dress Shop when they buy. Dolores Higgs, Mary Ann Bische, and joan Simmons are making their debut as actresses in the moving pic- ture, Mother NVore Blue jeans. They got their start in Hollywood by a good word put in by Ronny Bland who has taken advantage of living in California by be- eoming a star besides being All-American center for four years. Margie McDaniels is doing very well modeling clothes for Betty VVicker, the top designer in California. Everybody's going to California-must be because of the atmosphere. Kenny Vincent has become a justice of the Peace. It seems a few remarks he heard about the work and pay of the township officials got under his skin and he just couldnit resist the opportunity. Pat Bennett has been looking for a stenographic job and was happy to get placed in john Zore's office. IIe's a psychiatrist now, and really enjoys looking into people's deep, dark pasts. I received a letter from Phyllis Brown todav. I guess she's succeeded in becoming a school teacher, as she tells me she's now in charge of several little Muggs. Pauline Parke has half interest in the new chain of Cenung Drugstores that are sweeping the country. Need we say how this came about? Dick Kaufman is working for the government in helping to develop a new P.O.P. bomb. Heis really in a booming business. Dick Boles is busy with his ambition to become a millionaire. There's several details involved, you know -but, he's got a good start as he and Dick Mason are co-presidents of the Lock jaw Chewing Gum Factory As they both like the environment, they'll probably stick to it. Sandra Long is making history as the first woman coach in basketball. Her magnificent team, nicknamed the Droopy Drawers Dribblers, has a record of 52 wins, no losses. David Ledbetter made the headlines by run- ning from New York to Podunk in 6 hours and 3 minutes. Turning to the domestic side, Cordelia Ratliff ther new name has slipped my mind? is setting up house- keeping in Lizton. She's got a cute house with a white picket fence and all. George Vance is manufacturing his new Zipmobile. It's best feature besides being low in price is that it runs 60 miles per gallon. I guess that about takes in everybody, so I'm- Sincerely yours, Marilyn Smith, Class Prophet As Bright As The Pas!

Suddenly the stillness is broken by a shrill and blood-curdling scream, and out comes . . . Mighty Mouse! Not really, but it could have happened, since gather- ed in the house was the strangest collection of nuts', you ever saw. They were Pocahontas- Norma 'NIe scalp'em Ilackleman, Hitler-David IIeil Beck, Nlussolini-Gerry That's airighti' Hodson, Queen Elizabeth-NVanda Off with their heads Armentrout, and Rockefeller-jim Make a millionu Cox. Guessed yet what this aus- picious occasion was? Thats a'right,', it was the junior play, Dead of the Night, given in the high school gymnasium on October 25th un- der direction of Miss Thelma Stout, junior play director. Other characters fand we use the term looselyj were Katie Brockman-Alice Gardner, a young radio writer, Fred Wingert-Steve Hol- brook, owner of Holbrook Manor, Nancy Heston -jasmine, Negro maid, junior Davis-Dr. Law- son, strange psychiatrist, Pat DeVatz-Mrs. Egg, sinister housekeeper, jim Breen-Glenn, who doesn't think he's crazy, Nancy F orbes-Roberta Best, Clenuls fiancee. The next activity on the Class of 51's schedule was the junior Dance, Melody Timef' given No- vember 4 in the gaily decorated gymnasium with music supplied by the Four Notes. Everyone must have had dancing fever because the dance was well attended by one and all in their best bib and tucker. Our Last Year's Whirl An air of springtime under the stars prevailed at the Senior Prom on March 31. To the dreamy music of Bob Harrah's orchestra, the guys and gals danced from 8:30 to 11:30, relaxed in the gliders surrounding the rail fence, and indulged in soft drink refreshments to make the evening complete. Sold-To the public on April 228, 1950-one play, Love is Too Much Trouble.

Reception Honoring Senior Class Remember the night? I'll say we do. On May 13, the Juniors played host to the Seniors and faculty at the animal junior-Senior Reception in the Gold Room at the Antlers Hotel. A scrumptious feast of sugar- cured ham and all the trimmings was served to the delight of all concerned. Dance music was provided by Bob Noble and his orchestra from 9:00-12:00. To the enjoyment of all, intermission entertainment was furnished by LaVerne Lane, accordiouist, Tommy Thompson of junior City Slickers, and H. O. Prit- chard. Emcee. A lot of hard work went into the reception so thanks, juniors, for a wonderful time. Now you can see why the upperclassmen had such a full and eventful year with everyone working and planning together to make this their best and happiest year ever. 1 18 Uu Ch ms The gluuls-lo-lin' ul' i5l will allways 1'L'IllL'llllN'1' their -lllflllll' your. full ol' limi mul lli11'Cl work galore.

I Governing Body An organization which gives the students voice in our own school set-up has expanded in power and strength through the six years since it was hrought ahout through the efforts of Slr. N. D. Cory, then superin- tendent of schools. This group, led hy George Vance, presidentg Jane Kenna-dv, xiee-presidentg Sandy Long, secretarvg Don Crawford, treasurerg and Margie XIcDaniels, sergeant- at-arnis. represent the seven cluhs recognized hy the school plus all six classes in junior and senior high school. Their inain projects for the year were the hang-up Christmas Party Couch, reineinher those sack racesl and convoeations in honor of our haskethall athletes after the sectional and and regional tournevs. One of the most provoking prohleins solved through council legislation was a inotion to the effect that all money-inaking pro- jects to he undertaken by any group must he passed hv the student council. The council also has the power to call upon any club officer for information about projects to he undertaken. In addition to their legislative power, the student council gives ten certificates on Awards Day, The awards they give are certificates of inerit in English. lloine Making, Industrial Arts, Mathematics, Science. Social Studies, Speech, Ionrnalisin, Iunior lligh Sportsman- ship and Highest Scholastic Average in Alunior High. A medal is also awarded to the most improved track inin. To he elected council representative has liecolnc one of the inost sought after positions since it has so many duties and also gives our students a feeling of lielonging in our school structure.

Heads whirred as schemes were planned to sell the gold and brown Speedway bean'es,' and pennants to the entire student body of Speedway schools. As a climax to the hustle-bustle of selling and buy ing, the gym took on a new look for the dance honor- ing our athletes. Bob Harrah's orchestra provided the music for a memorable evening, highlighted by the crowning of the king and queen, Ray Stewart and Shirley Long. Ronny Bland was presented with the FBLA sponsored Foul Shooting award, and Ray Stewart, the Blase Award for sportsmanship. In addition to these projects, this club presents pfns and certificates to all typing and shorthand stu- dents who pass a required test from new material.

A Glimpse Into The Journalism World This year the curriculum was expanded to include a journalism class whose duty was to edit the school paper, THE SPEEDWAY SPEEDETTE, and also publish THE' 1950 SPEEDETTE. The first edition, dedicated to james Whitcomb Riley, couldnit get rolling until editors were chosen and elections held, thus Pauline Parke was elected new editor-in-chief. Phyllis Brown was awarded the job of the News Page Editor, seeing that all coming and past events were recorded. The Editorial Page, which has to have one worthwhile editorial in each issue, was taken over by Ioan Toomey. Since sports play such a vital part in our school, Don Crawford, sports editor, made certain each game was Written up in good sports fashion. To keep the paper enlivened with new ideas on everything from the latest fashion to our own modern art, jane Kennedy found herself elected to the position of Feature Editor while john Guion busied himself finding all the latest in the humor line for the Humor Page. To make sure all those wonderful articles get in print, you were always able to find Mary Ann Bische and Dolores Riggs typing articles on deadline day, every Monday. Also wielding the typewriter were various girls assigned to each page. Every paper needs an artistic touch, so Dave Ledbetter was always ready to think up last-minute decorations. In order to maintain a publication of high quality, the SPEEDETTE staff exchanged issues of our paper with staffs of other schools, and also made certain the National Duplicated Paper Association received copies to rate. Taking charge of this duty was Sandy,' Long. Barbara Degener and june Essig made sure that the morgue,' was neat and collected ideas for it. You still wouldn't have enjoyed all sixteen issues of the bi-weekly paper if it hadnit been for the publication staff. To make sure the paper was mimeographed in good fashion, Marilyn Smith, Margie Mc- Daniels, and joan Toomey faithfully put stencils on and turned the crank approximately 2350 times each publication date. After each page has been mimeographed, though, you can feel fairly safe that it will get into the hands of the readers-unless, of course, the stapling crew finds one of their machines jammed or broken. This group changed faces during the year due to changes in gym classes. The girls stapled on Fridays that the boys had gym class and the boys stapled when the girls had gym. Now for the paper boysv of the SPEEDWAY SPEEDETTE-They were Butch Wiechers and jack Fuller who distributed the copies to all you lucky people toward the end of each seventh period on the bi- weekly dates. Ceorge Vance, prediction editor, could nearly always be found either planning for his next sheet, or correcting turn-ins of the previous time. This was the first time a member of another class was brought into the picture. Dee Covell, a junior, typed and scoped the prediction sheet stencil and then posted the ratings after each contest. One of the biggest undertakings this year was the promotion of the Pile of Dimesv drive in which 3117.99 was raised for the sum total, passing the set goal for 8100. For a new approach to any drive held at S.H.S., a collection was taken at the Warren-Speedway basketball game by people pitching contri- butions into large blankets. Also to boost the drive, one of the display cases was dressed upv to in- clude dolls portraying a polio victim and her nurse. - All doesn't run perfectly smooth in the editing of a paper, for on the thirteenth issue of our thirteenth year, every stylus but one was mysteriously broken, thus causing the paper to be scoped one page at a. time. Probably one of the best know phases of the journalism class is the upkeep of Miss Spencefs bulle- tin board. Here all types of interesting clippings are placed at the disposal of any who wish to read them. Many of these clippings may be the ones contributed by Phyllis Brown, jack Fuller, and john Guion, who acted as reporters for the Indianapolis newspapers. Another way to keep everyone posted on all the latest dope was accomplished by Pat Bray and Dolores Riggs, who kept the announcement board up-to-date. The events taking place around school were certain to have top billing by these girls.

CERRY IIODSON-a junior, played his first year of varsity hall this year . . . will he one of johnson's re- turning lettermen next fall . . . proved to he a good tlmvn-tit-lcl hloelcer for his exceptionally small size, 5'I0 and weight l80 pounds. ltAl,l'll l'O'l l'lCli-220 pound junior, played the left taelde position and eouvineed many opposing haelcfield players to go around him rather than through him. As a reward for his fine playing, THE INDIANAPOLIS NICXVS plat-ed him on their All-County team . . . honored also on Tllli TIMES seeond team and the Mid- State Conferm-nee seeond team. Beeame a varsity man, after proving to he one of Coaeh .Iohnson's most eapahle suhs last year. -IICHRY LONG-advaneed from last year's freshman snjuad to the left end position, where he played mostly ou defense. jerry is 5'l0 , and weighs only IG8 pounds, hut still managed to get in the air to get his hands on the hall. BOB COUGIILIN-165 pound senior, spends most of his time at taelcle hut eau handle, equally well, the guard and eenter positions. Between those three, Boh was in there most of the time eontrihuting to our vietories. Ile received a letter both his junior and senior years. 38 DON CRAWFORD-This year saw Don graduate from right halfbaek to left end. This 5'l0 varsity player is the smallest memher on the line, weighing only 150 pounds. Don has played foothall three years and earned letters h-is junior and senior years . . . chosen as acting eo-captain after George Vance was injured. Ile reeeived Ilonorahle Mention on the NEXVS All-County team and on the All-Conference team his senior year. GEORGE VANCEha senior letterman, served as eo-eaptain and held the position of right halfhaek. lIa1'd luek seemed to hit in this, his third year to play varsity hall, for during the first game of the season he suf- fered a shoulder injury. Continuing to play the follow- ing week, he was hurt again and, under dot-tor's orders, gave up foothall the rest of the season. CIIARLES MARTIN-one of the eight seniors who reeeiyed a letter in football this past season. Unfortunate in that he disloeated his shoulder in praetiee and was foreed to take it easy for a while, Charlie, nevertheless, played an important part in Speedway's defensive line and offensive haeltfield. Ile weighs ITS pounds and stands 6'. DICK KAUFMAN-During his final year of sehool Diek deeided he wanted a letter, so he went out for football. Ile not only ea1'ned his letter hut played the largest majority of the games. At left halfhaek position, he possessed a never say die spirit which payed off in many a first down for the Sparlcplugs. . I -uhm, I I I- I Jn CHARLES WOODRUFF-the other boy on the for- ward wall, weighs 195 pounds and on defense was practically immovable., On offense he moved quite a bit and usually took the opposing players with him. Although he didn't see too much action this year be- cause of injuries, he'll be back next year with more experience. BUDDY HUGHES-a junior who stands 5'11 , weighs in at 165 pounds, and still has one more year to play his left end position. Because of his ability to bring that ball out of the air, he played mostly on defense. RONNY BLAND- California Here I Come. When S.H.S. students hear this, they naturally think of Ronny. Four of his twelve years here, he spent playing football, three on the first eleven, holding down center position very ably for the past two years. Having several injuries this season, he still received a place on the All- Conference team and Honorable Mention in the County. Ronny's teammates thought him a capable leader, so he was elected captain and was also presented with this year's Most Valuable Player award. HAROLD KUYKENDALL- Kirk,,' 6' tall, 190 pound junior, earned his 'third letter in football this year as he again served as the Sparkplugs' main threat. Holding down the position of fullback, he helped his team eliminate some tough opponents. Heill be back next year to threaten the opposition. DICK BOLES-in his first year at football proved him- self quite capable by receiving a place on the All- County second team, and Honorable Mention on the All-Conference team . . . played mostly offensive ball because of his ability -to pass receive. Dick will graduate this year, leaving a fine sports record behind him. RAY SMITH-one of the fastest boys on the team this year, Ray played left halifback and when he got away he was pretty hard to catch. He also proved him- self capable of good downfield blocking. A 5,9 junior, Ray has one more year wi-th the Pugmen. DAVE WILSON-5'8',, Weight 160 pounds, had a hard task to perfomi in replacing last year's quarter- back, but we feel he did it successfully . . . earned his letter in his first year of varsity football. His ability to think quick helped out in more than one game. DICK STUMFH-This yea.r's Most Improved Player award was earned by Dick, who kept his defensive right halfback position because of his ability to tackle and block. Dick is a 140 pound sophomore with a couple more years to play yet. ' BILL CROSS-played his first year of varsity football this year as a 6' tall sophomore, weighing 160 pounds . . . plays his defensive end position well and is one of johnson's returning lettermen. His two more years here make the football future look good. 39 x'A J s And Their iv ' ',, f fc.. fEPEE'UWAY' Vlgllllllgf I . i .' i 3 nnwri Yinus .Ein .,, M-...W ,..,, o 5091 N lfuu I: 41.415 llt-uuy, lfrt-il Wiillpgvit, -lwliu liilfli-ttf. llztuuy l'ul1l:ir. llill 'llvnlt-, lliclc .lnr:l:iu, llulw Rulvlmius. lx u lim llflli 'llui lliuui lint l'ttl KL i v, , . , it , mx.

Although he did not score for the first string, he was a consistent hitter on the second team. Only a sophomore, he stands 5, 10 and weighs 160. With two years remaining he will prove valuable with his favorite left hand shot. FIIED WINGEIKT-Freddie is the littlest of the little men on the Naymen's 49-50 basketball team. A 5' 6140, 119 pound junior, he will be back again next year. A pepper-pot, he is very hard to excite and is capable of stealing a ball game right out from under you. Freddie worked his way up to the first five this year and, playing as one of the guards, earned his letter. Ile was named to the All-Sectional team. ,IIM COX-jim is another boy who did not score this year but gained experience which he will put to use next year. jim stands 6' 1 and weighs 145 pounds. GEORGE VANCE-George is the other one of our little men. Q'1'hat's because he stands only 5' T and weighs 158 poundsj. A cool ball handler, he played guard position and deserves a lot of credit for his work. George has earned two letters in basketball and was named Most Improved Player for 1949-50. He was also given a spot on the All-Conference' second team, HOXNY BLAND-Graduating this year is 6', 175 pound lionny Bland. Ronny substituted at center position and has earned two letters in basketball. A sharp-eye at the free throw line, he is owner of this season's Foal Shooting Trophy. RAY S'l'1iNVA1i'l'-liay is our 6' 6 center. Ile has played first string two years, earning a letter both of these years. Placed on the All-County and All-Conference first team, llay was also nominated for a berth on the Indiana All-Star team. Viforking the pivot, he was as good a defensive player asf offensive. Ray was chosen as Speeclways Athletic King hy members of the F.B.L.A. Club. DICK BOLES-A senior this year, Dick has played varsity ball 2 years and earned his letter. Standing 6' and weighing 155 pounds, he has a one-handed shot that hardly ever misses hitting the basket. Boles was named honorary captain of the All-Sectional team, given Hon- orable Mention on the All-Conference team and placed on the All-County team. DUANE VVIECHERS-A 6' I , 160 pound senior, he will probably be best remembered for his performances in the County Tournament. Butch , as he is eonnnonly called, has played varsity ball for two years and earned his letter both years. Playing forward, his favorite shot is a one-hander from either side of the court. He was named to the All-Conference and All-County teams. BUDDY HUGHES-Buddy, a junior this year, stands 5' ll and weighs 155 pounds. NVith a two handed shot he will return next year as another one of Sparkie's threats. DAVE WILSON-Dave played his first year of varsity ball this year and earned his letter. Ile ranks as fourth high scorer this year and hits with a one-handed shot. Playing at guard position he weighs 160 and stands 5' 8 . Dave's experience will prove valuable to next year's Sparkplug quintet. JIM DEMOSS--lim is a junior this year which means he will be back next year. He stands 5' 9551 and weighs 146 pounds. Playing at guard he uses a two handed shot. jim earned his basketball letter this year. IIAROLD KUYKENDALL-Do you know how Speed- way's opponents felt when 6', 195 pound Harold Kny- kendall played varsity ball first as a freshman? He earned a letter all three years and played on Speedway's three Marion County Championship teams. He will return next year to help S.I1.S. gain more honors. E 3 Q 1 l i 1 -fi Uur County Champs H-f.---11-V. A. . .. fx I You Dnly Knew .... The work that is put into developing a baslietball team is something like the work that was put into this Speedette. There were certain rules that had to he fol- lowed to insure the progress of hoth. The haskethall rules the fallas themselves made. Some of these were-ahso- lutely no smoking or drinking-lie in at 10:15 on weeli nights and 9:15 the night he-fore a game-he sensihle about what you eat and no dates the night before a game. If you don't think these rules help, listen to the season record of your Speedway Sparkplugs. The Naymen started the Hoosier Hysteria season this year hy dumping Franklin Township's Flashes 41 to 31 on the home hardwood. XVith the new seating facili- ties over 1000 people saw the game.

Looking into the future we first have to look at this year's second team. lleading the list are Max Rumple. Bill Toole and -Iohn Hikhoff, all sophomores. In the freshman list we find Ronny Vance. Kenny Boyer, Boh Curtis and jerry Dotson. This year's second team record speaks for itself- nine wins compared to six losses. The first six games were victories. hut with Greenwood came defeat. The freshman team played six games of which they lost only one. Defeating Danville, Xlooresville. Pike Township and Beech Grove, they were hosts at the Freslnnan Tourney. Taking Plainfield first and Moores- yille second entitled them to a crack at the champion- ship, hut Brownshurg's Bulldogs proved too much as they ousted S.lI.S. in the final four seconds 2:2 to 20. The seventh grade had a record of two wins and four losses, while the eighth grade lost all eight games. 4T Uur T-Men 9,4--sumsn X 4 N o 'll'n ' X'xo J- oss , - p - s i '44 'ifif R xx I 1 up la lim I 1X1 lxoxx ,': R45 Smith. lffivn- lla-vls. l i's-fl XYiiigirl. llill 'l'oiilm'. iJ.ixr XYilsovi.

Uur Undercover Men Our New Sport This heing Speedway's first year in the baseball field, wc left little space in this book for mention of it, but here arc a few facts about this yearys team. Coaching this nationally played game here at S.H.S. is Mr. Ralph johnson. At present the Sparkplug line-up is: lst base-Ray Stewart, 2nd base-Freddie VVingert, 3rd base-George Mayo, ss-Dave Wilson, rf-john Cuion, cf-Butch NViechers, lf-Ray Smith. Iohn Guion was elected to captain the team. The first game, played with Mooresville, saw Dick jordan, a sophomore, pitch a no-hitter for a 15-0 victory. On the receiving end of those pitches was Bill Toole. Decatur Central set us back with a 12-0 loss. During this game we saw some good relief pitching from Duane XViechers and jerry Long, May 2, our Plugs met Green- wood and their second defeat. A seventh inning rally proved useless as they lost 6 to 5. Student Managers David Beck, Walter Bishop, Charles Cantwell, Tom Sutherland, and David Thomas are the student mana- gers for different sports around S.H.S. Taking football first, we find it was the duty of VValter Bishop, Charles Cantwell, and Tom Sutherland to have the equipment ready for practice and games, help with the uniforms, and have towels, water, and first aid equipment ready for use whenever needed. When basketball season rolls around, we see Dave Beck and Tom Sutherland getting ready for it by getting out the uniforms and basketballs. Packing and un- packing uniforms twice every night there is a ball game is one of their biggest jobs. During track season Tom Sutherland sets the pace by making sure the equipment is not only in good work- ing condition but also that it gets to the various schools where our meets are held. Our first baseball season brought David Thomas to the games, carrying the bats and balls. Returning these in good condition after the game to the school equipment storage is an important part of his various duties. Charles Cantwell, VValter Bishop, Tom Sutherland. 49 Intramural LAXVSK nys 'l'E.'XNI lliiw l: 'I'nm ll.lI1Il'l. Chirx' Dm-nnx'.

Games this year were played on Tuesday instead of Monday as in the previous years. This year's league consisted of five teams with each team playing one other team twice. Captains were chosen differently this year. Instead of Mr. Johnson appointing them, the boys nominated candidates, and then voted for their choice. The captains chosen were: Don Crawford, Charles Martin, john Powell, Dave Beck, and Kenny Lawson. The championship team this year was captained by Don Crawford. Their record for the season was 17 wins and 1 loss. The one loss was accounted for by a 31-33 set back from Kenny Lawson's team. The first five consisted of Dave Heberden and Don Crawford, who put in most of the pointsg Bob Coughlin, a good rebounder, who set up most of the plays, Dick Mason and Danny Pohlar, the other two mem- bers who contributed to the team's success. The subs were Ronald White, who played a large part of the time, Jim Coughflin, Robert Oden, and David Ketron, who made up the rest of the team. This team claims the highest number of points scored this year with a total of 348 points for an average of 41 a game, which is good for an intramural. They also scored the most points in one game when they drubbed Beck's team 56-24. Finishing in second place with 6 wins and 2 defeats was Lawson's team, led in scoring by big George Seymour. George with his tip-ins was helped out by Charles Davis and his long shots along with Kenny Lawson and Glae Gibson and their fast break. In third place we have Charles Martin's team who finished the season with a record of 4-4. John Guion, one of the team's starting five, 'held the individual scoring record for one game with a total of 28 points. Part of Martin's four game loss was due to the absence of some of the boys who had to work. In next to last place was John Powell,s team who only won 2 games while dropping 6. The scoring was pretty evenly divided between Bill Tennessee Robbins, Charles Cantwell and Don Bledsoe. VVay down in the cellar with no victories and eight losses is David Beck's team. The biggest part of the scoring lead was carried by Tom Sutherland. Tom's average ranked with that of the others even though his team lost all their games. 51 Leading yells for the Sparkplugs this year Were Marilyn Smith. Dee Covell. Nancy Forbes. and Miriam Hoerger. These girls, elected by the student body the first of the school year, serve during both football and basketball seasons. XVorking out formations for the various yells occupied practi- cally every evening until the end of football games. They wore the same unilornis as last year fgold blouses with brown skirt and bolerol until the Decatur Central basketball game. They inade an iinpressiye showing at the Sectional and Regional games with their new uniforms of gold corduroy skirts. wes- eotts. and brown blouses. Marilyn Smith, a senior, head cheer leader this year, has been leading yells since her sophomore year. Dee Coyell, a junior this year, has been a leader since her frslnnan year.

As long as warm weather lasts in the fall and again in the spring you should see these Amazons slug soft balls. They have more home-run kings than they know what to do with. Giant volley ball as you've never seen it played 'before was witnessed at the C.A.A. convo, which. inci- dentally, was won by the Juniors. You don't think they know a basket from a touch- down?

Since the G.A.A. was started in the second semester of the 1947-48 school year, it is a comparatively new organization at S.H.S. Only last year was the practice of giving awards begun. These awards are based solely on participation. To receive a minor award a girl must attend seventy-five per cent of the meetings in one year. A major award is more difficult to acquire, due to the fact that a girl must attend ninety per cent of the meetings during her two years as a member. G.A.A. membership is open to juniors and seniors exclusively because of the crowded gymnasium facilities. Toomey, Eleanor Garnier. Beverly Nlycrs, Sandra Long. M'argie Mcllaniels.
