GOOD OLD SUMMERTIME Most school activities end in early June, but there are two Speedway teachers who go right ahead into the summer with their supervision of student activities. One is Mr. George McClelland, sixth grade teacher in charge ot the summer- time playground, and the other is Mrs. Eleanor Strong, 4-H Club director. Mr. McClelland's playground group started last summer, with boys and girls of various ages participating. With the aid of Miss Dolores Coleman, i948 grad of Speedway High, he separated boys from girls and organized games and activities for each. Most of the boys were interested in baseball, and a series of games was played among the teams on the playground. This is a big step toward the supervised summertime recreation which Speedway has been lacking tor so long. 4-H Club is not new at Speedway. lt was begun several years ago. Under the leadership of Miss Susan Keckler it reached its peak in membership. Since Mrs. Strong took over in l948, many local girls have taken entries to the State Fair, which is a real accomplishment in 4-H. This club gives girls who didnlt take Home Economics in school a chance to acquaint themselves with the Domestic Arts.

MRS. LYONS MISS TOOMEY Secretary ASSISTANT DIRECTORS Secretary MRS. BECK Nurse Standing-Linda Lookabaugh, Mrs. Lyons, Barbara Morgan, Linda Yentes, Margie Traylor, Phyllis Nuetzman, Helen McClelland. Seated-Mary Ann Petraits, Shirley Vail, Sally Fuller, Miss Toomey. To handle attendance records, tardy slips, and the thousand-and- one other odd jobs connected with running a school, Mrs. Lyons MRS. SCOTT Matron chooses each year a group of students to act as office assistants. These people are also the ones responsible for delivering blue slips, circulating announcements, and recording report-card grades. When neither Mrs. Lyons nor Miss Toomey is in the office, the assistants are in charge of answering the telephone and greeting callers. This yearls group, chosen from volunteers, is an all-girl crew. ln order not to keep the students from a needed study hall, assistants must maintain a passing grade in all subjects to retain their position.

QV l l SOUND MIMS HOERGER E F F E C T S MARILYN THOMAS Our sound effects crew zipped into action at each of the games. During pep- sessions, this able-bodied crew presented new yells with corresponding antics. To aid some of the jazzy pep tunes, Larry Thomas and Jim Neal blasted forth with their rendition of Hey-bob-a-re-bob. Chief of the sound crew was Mims, a junior, who has been cheering the Sparkplugs forward for three years. The only boy, and only senior yell leader, was Gary. For a long time to come he'll be remembered for his floor-covering Ziggity Boo. Ann and Marilyn, sophomores, are both newcomers to the sound crew. This foursome has worked diligently and successfully to keep alive good sportsmanship and school spirit. THE GOLDEN HORDE T FORMATION: Back field-Kenny Lawson, Dave Wilson, Dick Stumph, Ronnie Vance. Line-Bill Toole, Dick Jordan, Eddie Racer, John Rikhotf, Danny Pohlar, Dick Downs, Jerry Long.
