THE SCALPERS The Scalpers, more commonly known as the Pop Club, has as its purpose to create more pep among the student body and to always stand behind our team. Our sponsor ' s Kiss Wimmor, and our officers ares president, Madeline Huston; vice president, Elna Kent; secretary and treasurer, Jennie Slade. Any ginl from th : ninth to the twelfth grade, inclusive, may be a member of o p Club. Black skirts end ;hitc sweaters were the uniforms for this year. A constitution was drawn up in which the different rules and regulations were stated. To be a cheerleader, a girl must have boon a member of Pep Club for at least one semester. With the addition of our new constitution, we believe The Scalpers will bo an oven greater success in the yoars to come.

Due to injuries and the overwhelming strength of Deatrice this was the only game lost. Here is a brief summary of each game: Cur first game was when Tecumseh rapped Fdlls City in a one-sided score of 12-0. The scoring was done in the final period after three quarters of see-saw fighting. The first score was tallied when Good threw a 35 yd. pass to Pluta— right end—who raced over the two stripes. A few minutes later Tecumseh's quarterback Logsdon intercepted a pass and got down to the Falls City 0 yd. line. From there, Tecumseh fought for another score and on the fourth down Good went over. Tecumseh rounded up eight first d.wns to Falls City's four. Tecumseh's griders tightened their grip on the Southeast Conference as Nebr. City was tromped with a one-sided score of 13-0. One tally showed a score in ;he firfet period after 6 first downs. In the socorid. poriodvgbod -yardage. waS made but three passes were muffled that could have been touchdowns. In the third qurrtcr, Nebr. City still had fire but our pass attack W; do good and another 7 paints were: scordd. I ebr. City weakenea in the last period and we won the game. Practice showed up good this week, but regular tackle Lorain Stutheit received an elbow dislocation, during this game and could not resume to play for a few weeks. Tecumseh was still firing at t eir third game by defeating Peru Prep 26-6. The first score was a pass from Good to Pluta. The next score by dridgmon with a 45 yd. run down the sidelines. The next score resulted from a Mocked punt by Bates, and K vanagh recovering over the double-stripe. The last telly was made by Pope cutting off tackle and running 55 yds. and scoring standing. Two of the extra points were good. Undefeated Ta le Rock .‘ ound Tecumseh too powerful but managed to tally a total of 7 points against our team.

The Junior-Senior banquet? Oh, yes, how well we will remember that gala night vhen we the Seniors of 44 were so royally entertained by this years' Juniors. The banquet took place in a dark, candle lit pirates n , in the community building. The room was decorated wi t h all things well beknown of pirates including their jewels and treasure chests. The menu was carried out in true pirate language with v?ild boar (meat). Boiled bones (mashed potatoes), Kedicin e roots (buttered carrots). Seaweed ( rrdish roses, celery, carrot curls, end olives). Sea Biscuits (hot rolls), 3illy, bones specialty (ice cream) and Devil's water (coffee ) , The program was started by singing a few songs with Mr. Swanson leading. Then I ora Marie Morrissey gave a welcoming speech to the Seniors and the Faculty. Following the welcome, Lorain Stutheit favored everyone in the den with a vocal solo- The Jolly Roger. Text, Keith L e a t h ernan responded to the looming speech in which he gave a s hort will from the St 'ors to the Juniors. The next perfor me r on the program was Donita Stull, who after practicing for a few minutes played The Song of India on her clarinet. Mr. Grass gave an interesting talk on our voyage through life as a citizen and a successful person rather than failing in life and going down to Davy Jones' Locker. In closing Hr. Swanson led us in a few more songs. As a last thought, I think I should mention that I believe tne banquet this year was really a huge success -especially with the decorations, tho waitresses dresses os pirates and the dance afterwards. Not only I but all mu st have had a good time as could readily be seen in the effects of the morning after the night before.
