H. S. who are serving in the armed forces oi our country. WE charge him to remain on his toes, and be an ever faithful guardian over those to Whom we, the seniors, respectfully dedicate this TIPTONIAN Zfiwf W' I I You know who I am? Betcha don't! Then allow me to introduce myself. The name is Gus. Gremlin Gus. I hang around here all the time but you never see me, 'cause I'm pretty good at hiding. And listen, quit slamming your books in your desks! I've been clipped 3 times in the last week and certain parts of me are beginning to complain! I guess I am responsible for a lot of good things in this school, but heck, that's no fun. My motto is Devil- ment is the Spice of Life. You can sure tell whose spice l've been into recently. lust take a look at this Tiptonian! MURDER! Murder is what lane Cline and Doris Watson would have committed if they'd have caught me last Thurs- day. They chased me through all the pages trying to find where I'd hid their list of the Tiptonian staff. They never did get me, but they did stumble across the list when it fell from the joke section. I guess it refused to associate with Egler's brainstorms! What? Oh, go away. Stop interrupting me! tThat's Mort, my brother, He's deaf, dumb, and just plain stupid! Says he's been playing checkers on the report cards! That shows how dumb he is. Everyone knows there are no black squares! Mort's special snoop department has been the sub- scription staff of Tiptonian. He has had the most fun getting the division-leaders, Betty Lee Legg, Zola Hull, Ava Lee Walz, and Ioe Orr, all bawled up. He did al- most as good a job as I did on Virginia Loy, the organ- ization's reporter! And who are you? Boredom! What a name, Mort, I take it we are being hinted at. Let us remove our sterling qualities from his contemptable presence and go for a Walk among the pages of the IQ44 Tiptonian. Mort, Wake up! Let's go slumming. WON'T YOU COME WITH US ? ? ? P. S. By the way, here is that list I was telling you about.

Oh, you already know him! That's Mr. Leist. l-le has his office downstairs, and teaches advanced math, remember? He's a swell guy, and makes an A-l Superintendent. He's awfully friendly, and co-oper- ative, too. T. H. S. is really lucky to have him around. And that's Mr. Stemen. Sure, everybody does, he's quite a likeable quy! As Principal it always falls his duty to spring all the bad news, but he can soften it up until it hardly stinqs at all. You ought to sneak in on his Physics or Geography classes if you want to see him at his best! l particularly respect him, because he is so under-- standinq. Now those four folks over there you may not know. They are Mr. Martin, Mrs. Richards, Mr. Grove, and Mr. Mason, who make up the School Board. They are biq- shots in both school and com- munity life. Sometimes l think the students don't know them much better than you do, and that's a dirty shame, because if they knew all the good things they do, they'd appreciate them more than ever. g6lClflAy J , 1 if 0 'D J , v 1 ' 5 D . 1 J Q7 Cf 45 l armed I 6 O 'Ju 7 William D.

Last year they carted pop all over the gym at Sectional time, be- sides slaving at regular basketball games, so that they could come through with a smooth Iunior-Senior Prom. This year they all pitched in and sold tickets to their Senior Class Play, and drove everybody mad selling subscriptions to Tiptonian. For relief from it all, they had a mid-semester party, and a get-together at the end of the year. When the time came, they polished oft their four years activi- ties by dancing the night away at Iunior-Senior, listening atten- tively at Baccalaureate: giving a riotous Senior Day program: and solemnly accepting their diplomas with proud hearts, able minds, and heads held high.

The luniors sure are a peppy bunch, Remember the hilarious time We had at the Weiner roast in the Scout Cabin, when I tell into the mustard and you thought I was a Chinaman. And how about the time at their Sophomore class party when we had so much fun tying knots in the ping pong nets and saw- ing the Vic needles into. Oh! for the good ole' days. But no lunior class ever gets by without breaking their backs selling pop. This year's class was no exception, but I've never heard them complain, not even when they had to have their concessions in the hall. I guess they decided it was worth it, though, when lun- ior-Senior time rolled around, and everybody said, What a swel- ligant prom that Was.

You know, Mort, things are setting rather dull around here. Wait a minute, l spoke too soon. Here are thoso Sophomores. Boy, they sure are a talkative bunch! l'll swear, they almost talked the lid oft the gym when they had their Fresh- man class party. Now that was a party. Everybody horsed around for a while, then they got busy and played all kinds of games and ate every- thing they could get hold ot, which was oodles ot pop, cookies, and jelly beans. Oh, what a jolly time! This year they picked up a little ediekashun. They even tried to ediekait me! But you can tell how tar they got, purtikeraley in the sppeling dapartmint. Some of the Sophomore fellas had the brilliant idea of going into competition with Sinatra on the bow-tie situation. They mod- eled polka-dots, stripes, zigzags, and any other conglomeration in all colors of the rainbow, providing it didn't match anything else ' they had on. This made the makers of colored glasses very happy tor quite obvious reasons. They had the traditional Sophomore party in the gymeyou know, juke box, dancing, ping-pong, and all that.

P25 I'l'lel'l Didia ever see any Freshies any Iivelier than the ones who dash around this year? After they once found which rooms to dash to, they really got there in a hurry. I had a lot of fun send- ing them downstairs to find the Biology Lab the first day or so of school, but heck, they soon caught on! It was remarkable! And another thing, they actually got down to business at the first of the year. Imagine! Freshies doing a thing like that! No kidding, they worked so hard selling bonds and stamps for the Ieep Race that they ran away from the other classes. I'd take my hat off to them if I had one on. CBy the way, Mort, what did you do with my purple and green cootie cage?! I don't think they ran down all year. They sure didn't show any signs of it at their picnic. I've never heard so many queer noises in all my life. I was glad when the food was gone, 'cause temptation always gets the best of me. The way it worked out all I ate was 3 bags of potato chips, 14 sandwiches, 5 different kinds of salad, 8 bottles of pop, 7 cookies, 3 pieces of cake, a few dill pickles, and some ice cream, and a sprinkling of assorted ants and dirt. Far be it from me to be piQQY! Frankly I still can't get over it. It's extraordinary! lust think, a freshman class actually did something! . gl'edAl'YLLll'l arid Row I: Don Hiatt: Barbara Williams: Raymond Beri: Betty Spahr: Ioe Hasket: Virginia Graham Row II: lack Cummins: Freda Shuppard: William Hurst: Marilyn Green: Max DeFord: Phyllis Malott: William Smith: Edna Simpson Row Ill: Dorine Durham: Gene Shaddy: Iudy Collins: Charles Mobley: Kathryn Doudt: Richard Regnier: Dora Lee Rice: Charles Fike Row IV: Phyllis Simms: Norman Wertz: Nedra Phillips: Gene Clark: Patty Overdort: Charles Gatham: Ethel Carmichael: Edward Tebbe Row V: Max Suite: Lucille Ogden: Robert Pick- rell: Ioan Losey: Alonzo Garner: Beverly Beck: Billy Ioe Smyser: Patty Cooper Row VI: Roseanna Guilkey: Iohn Bath: Lazaros Paikos: Donna Van Bibber: Arthur Smelser: Betty Harrison: Margaret Roe: Iames Fox Row Vll: Robert Morris: Kathleen Henry: Wil- liam Iohnson: Ioan Powell: Wilda Conaway: lack Garman: Maxine Liston: Robert Glass Row VIII: Emma Small: Edward Henry: Beverly McClain: Bernard Andrews: Maxine Gar- man: lack Smith: Vaneta Iarrett: Lawrence Fox.

With 55 girls all singing at once, it's no wonder one of the requirements for the nearby art class is a pair of earmuffs! Every 4th and 5th period on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays you can hear them bubbling over with glee. The Glee Clubs, under Miss Smith's direction, are always very cooperative when they are asked to give out and since every one in school likes to hear them sing, this proves to be pretty often. Their first appearance, the Columbus Day program, started them off in a big way on a dizzy schedule of singing for programs and what not. The next stop, after the Columbus Day affair, was at Thanksgiving, closely followed by their annual performance at the public schools' Christmas program. They also sang at another annual Christmas program held at the Methodist Church, sponsored by Matinee Musicale. The Glee Club sang at several other Matinee Musicale programs during the year. Various trios were formed during the two semesters, one of which harmonized on Sympathy for the Student Councils' National Education Week program and went over solid. It was composed of Iudy Aldridge, Mary Esther Graham and Georgia Rose Cox. This trio also warbled away for the Rotary Club, both the Christian and Methodist Church- es and their organizations. A sextette, consisting of Thelma Love, Beverly McClaine, Beverly Beck, Patty Cooper, Lucille Eller, and Norma Plake was also active, and sang at the Christian Church. The 22 members of the Boy's Glee Club have been busy too. They sang with the girls on many occasions, as well as entertaining the Iunior High assembly. Loma Fleenor, Coral Evans, Delores Altherr, Lucille Eller, Marion Richardson, Donald Peltier, William Fischvogt, and Lex Tucker made up a mixed octet which performed at the Matinee Musicale's Christmas program. Both Glee Clubs sang in the traditional Music Festival, held each year in May, and performed their stately duties at Baccalaur- eate and Commencement. High light of their year was, of course, the Operetta, Rio Rico , which was given with great hilarity in the gym on March 10th. On the lighter side of life they listened to some one else's music forachange and had a slap-happy time at their informal dance, which is a newly established custom for Glee Club members and their dates, .sluclenf Counci To have a Student Council meeting you need a room, 25 chairs, a gavel, and a Tues- day activities period. And also a president to bang away with said gavel. This honor fell to Richard Zehner the first semester, and to Norman Hitt the last. A sponsor is usually quite proper too, so Miss Lockridge led them through the first semester, while Mr. Beer- bower took over for the following session. The idea of operating on a mid-semester to mid-semester term was put into effect this year, so all 1943 councilors spent money for one and one-half years. This was done so that an experienced council could take over at the beginning of the year to help get our Alma Mater in good running order. Student Council was organized in 1940 to serve as the connecting link between the faculty and the student body. lt has fulfilled its obligations to both students and faculty in a manner of which T. H. S. is justly proud. We, the students, owe many of our swell programs to the conniving of Student Council and its many committees, of which the Sportsmanship, War Stamp Sales, and Progrom Committees are examples. Members of the War Stamp Committee are always to be seen in the halls before classes begin, both morning and noon, selling l0c and 25c tickets to freedom to their admiring public. , Student Council has supervised various scrap drives this year, planned and presented the program for the dedication of the plaque to be placed in the Tank Lighter bought by us Tipton Highers' last year, and acted as judges for the selection of our yell leaders. Generally a solemn 25, governing themselves with strict parliamentary law, they broke down and blew off their lids at two parties held at the end of each semester, when they ate, drank, and shot craps like their other fellowmen.

She is a product of Ti-Hi-Ec's Better Living Through Home Economics theory. Good grooming and personality development are two more doctrines of Ti-Hi-EC. By the way, Ti-Hi-Ec stands for Tipton High Economics in case your little brain couldn't solve the puzzle, It was just created in 1931 under the name Home Economics Club of Tip- ton High School . This was such a mouthful of mush and the cause of so many twisted tongues that when, in 1932 somebody stuttered Ti-Hi-EC from the jumble, it wasa blessed day, everybody rejoiced, and the club officially took that name. On guard, each noon hour, over the nourishing angle of the lunches eaten daily here at school, stands one of thet36 Ti-Hi-Ec'ers always ready, willing, and able to sell you a bottle of chocolate milk so you will bewhealthy, tand Ti-Hi-EC will be Wealthy, but that is beside the pointl. Delegates were sent to the state Home Ezonomics convention this year and they brought back many new ideas which were soon put into operation: for instance, having a Hat Contest between the girls clubs, in order to promote inter-organization interest. Every- body got a big kick out of trying to design their hats and it did much to bring about the fulfillment of its purpose. Incidentally, the way some hats looked will not be discussed at this time! Members always have a big time at the club's annual St. Patrick's Day Dance, and of course at the picnic for prospective new members. Certainly this year was no exception, probably due, to a great extent in having Mrs. Nash for sponsor. The supposed ambition of every single one of the 26 Future Farmers of America is to own a farm. There is a trick to running any farm, let alone an A-l farm like these fellows are going to run. F. F. A. was instituted in Tipton High in 1935, one chapter in a national organization of, by, and for boys studying vocational agriculture in public schools. With Mr. Oyler's help they try to bring about better leadership, sportsmanship, and citizenship, as well as improved agriculture. One of the most original of all the annual rough initiations was blighted upon the new F. F. A'ers. Congratulations to you F. F. A.! As one might guess they outdid themselves eating at a Wiener roast this spring. lt was said they scuttled enough to feed 5 cows. Speaking of cows, if you asked any cow of your acquaintance her opinion, she'd probably say she'd rather be owned by a Future Farmer of America than anybody else! jr. Wudica e Well, my boy, if she's musically inclined she's probably a member of Ir. Musicale. lf you spot a little silver note adorning her sweater, you may rest assured that she is. Ir. Musicale was brought into being in 1933 and has been on the march ever since. It now is made up of 30 girls, all musicians of sorts, who like to flip their lips about the musical world. Naturally, 30 girls, aided and abetted by Miss Smith, do many other things beside study the classics. They held an Autumn Hop , a Valentine's Day formal dance, a highly successful rummage sale: honored their mothers with a tea on Mother's Day: literally wound up moaning under the table at their annual Christmas Pitch-In thaving first com- pletely cleared the top of itl, and followed this unladylike procedure with carolling for sick people, which is another annual, and much appreciated, activity. They are also quite proud of the War Bond they bought in the Fourth War Loan Drive. Not content with just one chance to stuff themselves to the gills, they held another pitch-in at the end of the year, when it wouldn't make much difference how sick they became, for they would have three months to get over it.

With Miss Cosand to lean on, they have achieved this to the Nth degree, building up their prOgrC1rI1 until if WCIS the best Yet. After enduring a stiff rough initiation the new members were rewarded with a party in the Home Ec. department where they were royally entertained and fed mountains of sandwiches, potato chips, pickles, and all such stuff as that there. A food market was next on the G.A.A. c alendar, followed by a 1-la1lowe'en party, a Sweater Swing after the Burris game, a Christmas party, and a riotous skating party at Elwood. All G.A.A. members could easily be spotted the day after this skating bout by their odd black and blue complexionsl Wonder why? Amid crepe paper and corsages they all celebrated a most successful year in the crowning glory of their annual gala Spring Dance, the pride and joy of Cr.A.A. Jw Every other Tuesday night 46 weary Hi-Y members trudge toward the school building. They slump down in their seats, waiting for Mr. Cline to arrive. Bells ring, horns blow, Michel enters, and promptly props his feet up on a desk as everyone takes a nap while the secretary reads the minutes. Following a lengthy session of jokes, all get down to business. If there is no business, they perk up and enjoy some sort of program. Ah, this is the lifel Hi-Y took a new lease on their own life this year: revived from the grave, routed out some new members and more vitamins, which all add up to a progressive organization. The local Hi-Y chapter originated in 1934, and has done its share in promoting clean living and clean athletics in our school ever since. Always up to something, they proved themselves worthy of their reputations by hav- ing a slam-bang affair in the form of a Weiner roast, besides joining with Sunshine in demonstrating how to have a somewhat quieter version of a good time at a spring dance. The school was happy to be able to welcome 1-li-Y back to the fold this year, for it has done much good in the past, and has continued to do so by quickly picking up where it left oft two years ago. The feminine half of T.l-l.S. was also very glad to see Hi-Y again, for what would they do without Hi-Y pins? SSS By her smile ye shall know her . Meaning, of course, a Sunshiner-a lassy whose good humor, cheerful spirit, and helping hand are well known to school and community. Sunshine is one organization that stresses the Golden Rule, and then actually practices what it preaches, which is quite something nowadays. It is the eldest of all our present school organizations, and is rightfully proud of its ancestry, dating back to 1927, and it's 81 members. Always right on the ball as far as helping is concerned, they got down to work right away, helping the new members to become miserable with a full night of rough initiation. Some evil spirit must have moved the little Sunbeams for they seldom have any but for- mal candle-light services. Tsk! Tsk! Bad influence somewhere! Sunshine held its own Vesper services at Christmastime at the Presbyterian Church with many members singing in the choir. The services were very impressive and were highly enjoyable-even the choir. Having a good time is also an important part of any Sunshine Society. Toward this end S. S. S. had a superb pitch-in with everybody pitching just gobs of food, in their own direction naturally. They also teamed with Hi-Y in giving a lovely spring dance, with Sunshiner's, formals, and Miss Foster floating all over the gym. A Sunshiner's smile is said to be quite infectuous, let's just hope everybody can pick up that beaming disease at some time or other. Bm! The third period on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, we find the music room or gym filled with 45 members, plus many half notes, quarter notes, eighth notes, and some- times all sizes of rests. You can count on an abundance of rests if Mr. Planck is out of the room! However, it is easy to see that this doesn't happen very often, when they per- form as well as they do at various occasions during the year. The band really gave out at the program in celebration of National Music Week. They've also played for many programs sponsored by Student Council, not to mention the times when they cut loose at basketball games. lt really broke their little hearts when they didn't get to march at all the games. My but they were a sad bunch. Oh Yea? The whole school regretted very much that there wasn't a District Band Contest for the band to compete in this year, especially since they were rated as the outstanding band in last year's contest. At commencement the band always adds the finishing touches to the Seniors process- ional march. lt can be truthfully said that this is the only time when the seniors would rather not be around when the band plays. pefetfa The gymnasium was filled with laughter on March lO this year when the Glee Clubs gave the enjoyable Rio Rico . Lewis Morgan, a wealthy financier takes his daughter lane and a group of college girls on an expedition to Cocos lsle in which they meet up with Black Spider's Mutineers who have been sleeping for two centuries. Much to their amazement, they find the bur- ied chest to be full of nothing but sand. Thus, Lewis Morgan's group was blamed for this catastrophe, so the Gold Hunters sponsor a broadcast from Cocos lsle in order to obtain help. Naturally there is a surprise ending and everyone returns to the main land. The following people portrayed the unforgettable roles of the operetta: Lewis Morgan-Ralph Ginn Tubby Thompkins -Bob Woodruff lane Morgan--Judith Aldridge Bill Burton -Marion Richardson Aunt Iulia-Thelma Love Black Spiderw Gordon Gish Professor Amos Molecule--Lex Tucker Dead Eye-Harry Burton Clara-Iudith Wheatley Spade Beard-Carl Hannah NanfSara Lesko Skittles--Richard Stroup Pansy Borealis--Patty Williams Strutt-Dwight Richardson lack Davis-Bill Fischvogt enior 610,56 pfay The senior class play went over with a bang---in fact, more than one, with Ed eternally on the search of a substitute for dynamite! Things are humming along with Vic dabbing away at his easel with his paint and brushes: and Howard frantically working on his Zoology term paper, which will enable him to graduate from dear old Brookfield, when the first calamity appears in the form of Mr. Purcell, Anne's father. The boys, thinking him an erratic artist's model whom Vic is expecting, gag him and tie him to the hat rack. By the time he can make his identity known, he is blue with rage and hastily withdraws his offer to finance a new science building. There is more upheaval when Howard's Aunt Maude arrives for his graduation, only to find he has not passed his zoology course. Posing as a famous zoologist, she meets the unmarried bug man, Professor Bean, and tricks him into giving Howard the credit. With one less Worry on their minds, the young people decide to make Mr. Purcell change his mind about the new science building. This is accomplished via a tragic dying scene in which his daughter, Anne, is the willing victim, All matters were soon cleared up, and the curtain came down with one last super-explosion, a fitting ending for a riot- ous evening.

Scene: As the Courthouse clock strikes 7:00 Cthat is if it's workingl a gremlin is seen peeking through the window of the Coe Campbell residence on North West Street. His eyes open wide, his beanie bounces. What is this he sees? lust as he thought. Another all night session of the card sharks of Tipton's Blue Devils. He soon discovers that mama and papa Campbell have flown the coop, taking with them all the valuable silverware, as previous experience with these ruftians has taught them a costly lesson. Upon investigating further, he finds that the main event has already begun. Brothers Norris, Campbell, Dean, Stoner, and Smith are clustered about a weak-kneed cardtable. ACTION Campbell: Hey, where's Cockrill? Dean: Well, since we told him 7:00, he ought to make it by a quarter of eight. Smith: I doubt that. Norris: Aw, come on. Let's get started. I'll deal. Stoner: Over my dead body you'1l deal. You never get less than a Full House when you get hold of the cards. Therefore, not trusting you, I'll deal! Campbell: Now look. It's my house, so I'll deal. Besides, when you deal, Stoner, there are al- ways five aces in the deck. Smith: You goons! We'll cut for it. High man. Norris: Ah ha. The Ace of Spades. Dean: Which sleeve did you get that from, Norris? Stoner: I move that we search him. Norris: Oh no. I'm ticklishl Smith: Oh, let him have it. He won't know what to do with it when he gets it. ITIME FLYSI At this point our little friend out in the cold sees his chance to sneak inside when the door is thrown open and 142 pounds of Brother B.

Campbell: Whadaya mean reading it? He writes itl Cockrill: Aw, dry up. Smith: Grab a chair and let's quit wasting time-it's 8:30 now. I Norris: Might as well shake you down a little too. Come on, dig down. Campbell: I'd like to see that. He's got more of my money than I have, Dean: Yea, he never gets here in time to lose any! Smith: Fork over, ladies, who beats a Straight Flush? Stoner: Put that back, Smitty, I saw you. ITIME MARCHES ONl Cockrill: What time it is, Campbell? Campbell: The clock says a quarter till nine. Norris: Yea, but when did you stop it?

Orr's dribbling and deceptive passing was one of the contributing factors in the Devil's winning, Ioe graduates this year, and Tipton High has certainly lost a great guard. Ioe's seasonal shooting percentage was .260. Bill Smith: Bill was faster than a bullet when it came to streaking down the hardwood for two points, and he was the stickiest defensive man our Devils had. Smith wound up his second year on the varsity' and will graduate in May. His percentage was .232. Ned Hoover: Big Ned also played on the varsity for three years, and was a regular for two. Hoover was the team's leading scorer with 258 points. His uncanny marksmanship under the basket pulled the Satans through many contests. Ned's seasonal ac- curacy percentage was .29l. Bob Norris: Norris was the only underclassman on the starting five, and as Bob is a junior, he will return to plague opposing teams next year. Bob was an outstanding defensive threat all season. When an opponent had a basketecrazy playper it was Norris that drew the assignment of stopping him--and he usually fulfilled this job, too. Bob's shooting percentage is .285. Torn Dean: Dean was a transfer from Windfall in his Iunior year, and he immediately broke into the Tipton lineup with his driving ability and bombsight accuracy in hitting the net. This was De:1n's second year on the regulars, and his last one for Tipton High School, for he is a senior. Dean was second high scorer for the Devils. His percentage was .267. Marvin Stoner: Stoner was a consistent player, and filled in at center, guard, or forward, just wherever Coach Ward could use him best. He was a good defensive man, and dropped baskets through the hoop when they were needed most. This is Stoner's second and last year on the first ten, for he will graduate this year. His percentage was .200. Landis Fields: Landis joined the team about mid-year as a replacement for Mitchell, who was called in the Navy V-5 program. Landy was a dependable reserve and one of the fastest men on the team. We wish Fields had arrived sooner, because he was a very promising member of the Bluedevils. Allen Conaway: Conaway was the tallest member of the team, stretching 6' 3 into the stratosphere. Conaway is only' a sophomore and yet he played as a regular in a few contests this year. Allen is certain to develop into one of the finest pivot stars Tipton has ever had. Lots of luck to you in the future, Allen. Conaway's accuracy percentage was .423. Esten Cockrill: Cockrill was one ofthe team's dwarfs, but made up for his lack of height in ability in handling the ball. He filled in at one of the guard posts, and did a very good job at the sectional when he was needed most. Esten is one of the best long shots on the team, and is a senior this year. His shooting average is .2l7. Bill Campbell: Bill was one of the best forwards Tipton has had for quite a while. With his unorthodox shooting he practically de- moralized our opponents even though they boasted a well-knit defense. Perhaps Campbell was the best shot on the team. His shooting percentage was .2l7. Coach Iohn Ward: Ward is a wiley little, expressionless fellow whom you can't help but like. Iohnny has been at Tipton for 15 years and has won ten sectionals. By virtue of two wins in regional play, he has taken his boys to the state Semi-finals twice. fQuite a record, eh what?l Iohnny is the kind of coach that fellows take to, and will work their hearts out for. Although he can be quite a comic at times, he can also bear down and mean business too, as the team has come to know only too well. We have all seen Ward-coached teams who, had they had a little more luck, would have been practically unbeatable. Ward hasn't quite ever had the breaks he has deserved, but when he gets them watch out, all you big schools! Student Managers: Bob Egler and Ioe Schmith were the little boys with the buckets who could be seen betore each game running around like mad scraping everything together, tucking it in a trunk and watching over it until the journey was over. Such is the life of a student manager. Every team needs capable, efficient managers who also possess an ample supply of faith in the team. Egler and Schmith both rank at the top of this class.

Out of the groove again. Sheridan beat us Z3 to 32. Dec. 18th. Iohnny's boys, still in their lethargic slump, managed to record a win over a fighting bunch of Green- town Beavers 39 to 34. The Devils led at the half 22 to 10, and finally managed to hold on and win their last game before Christmas vacation. Ian. 7th. The Devils returned to work after vacation against Noblesville. The Wardmen, in a red hot game, finally turned back the Millers 28 to 26. The Millers haven't beaten a Tipton team now, since 1935. Ian. 14th. The team treked 80 miles to play the Roches- ter Zebras, and were bested by the up-staters 43 to 28. Ian. 15. Our old rival, Kokomo, gave the Devils a trouncing in the local goal hall, but since the Wildcats were good enough to make runner-up for the State Cham- pionship, the team doesn't mind this defeat too much. The score was 50 to 36. Ian. 22nd. The Bluedevils looked like a ball team as they snowed under the Wabash Apaches by a count of 49 to 38, after driving 50 miles through blinding snow. Ian. 28th. The Satans were as cold as a refrigerator in Alaska, and that was the reason that a weak Peru team was able to win. The Devils had journeyed to Peru by bus, and had to stand up all the way. Score: 26-27. Ian. 29th. The team stayed all night at Peru, and took the train to Hammond on the 29th. The Hammond Clark Pioneers were undefeated by an Indiana team, and the Clark Cagers were at their peak as they gave the Ward- men a 59 to 41 drubbing. The locals were ahead at the end of the first quarter, but a hard week-end trip began to tell on them, and the game was a walk away in the later stages. Feb. 14th. The Devils really avenged a previous defeat by the Sheridan Blackhawks, and in so doing overcame their slump, which had plagued them ever since the first Elwood game. Ward's 1-3-l zone defense had Sheridan's tough pivot man, Holmes, under control at all times and brought about the final score of 46 to 25. Feb. Sth. The Bluedevils, completely out of that slump, journeyed to Burris of Muncie, and in a hot tilt finally fell to the sky-scraping Owls, 36 to 35. Burris' big center, Turk, hit a long from the center of the floor to spell de- feat for the Satans at the last minute. Feb. llth. At Elwood, in a hard fought C. I. C. game, the Devils scored their second victory over our arch-rivals, the Elwood Panthers, with a score of 38 to 34. Feb. 18th. The Alexandria Tigers, who had defeated the Devils earlier in the season, came to the local gym, and were soundly spanked by the Satans in one of the oddest games of this or any other year by the mammoth count of 14 to 4. 0lfU I'la,l'l'lel'lf p Our Devils won their tenth Sectional title in 15 years under the tutelage of Coach Iohnny Ward, this year. The second wartime Sectional was played at the Noblesville Armory in accordance with the three year plan which rotates the site of the tournament between Tipton, Sheridan, and Noblesville. The Noblesville Millers were exceptionally tough this year, and were established as co-favorites along with the Wardmen to win the Sectional title. The Devils faced the Hamilton County Champions, Sheridan, in their first game, on Friday afternoon. Sheridan had defeated the Satans in one of the two regular- ly scheduled seasonal games 32 to 23-the Bluedevils winning the other 46 to 24. Tipton, working smoothly around Norris and Hoover, piled up a 20 to 4 first quarter score, and coasted to a halftime lead of 30 to 10. The reserves played nearly the entire last half, and the final count read 40 to 22, in the Devils favor, of course. The Windfall Dragons, who had beaten Walnut Grove and Carmel soundly to gain the semi-final round of play, were our second opponent. The Wardmen finally subdued the fighting band of Dragons 32 to 22. It was the Tipton Blue Devils and the Noblesville Millers in the finals, thus the last game of the Sectional was a natural, for Noblesville fans had been clamoring for a second meeting between the two teams ever since the Devils had defeated them by 2 points Ianuary 7th. The Satans, out to win, and fighting every step of the way, held a 13 to 9 first quarter lead, and extended it to 24 to 16 at the half way mark. The last half was all Tipton, and the gun fired on a 45 to 31 score. Hoover proved himself to be the brilliant center he is in this game, with 18 points against the 6' 5 Noblesville center. loe Orr was passing with perfection, and Tom Dean was clicking on his drives. Tipton fans may well be proud of the way the whole team played, and of the sportsman-like conduct of our Devils. Further proof of their ability was shown in the All-Sectional squad, which was dominated by Tipton players as Hoov- er, Dean, Orr, and Norris were placed on it. The Bluedevils met the Kokomo Wildcats in their first regional contest, and the Sa- tans felt certain they could win from the Kats, although Kokomo held a 50 to 36 vic- tory over the Devils heads. During the first quarter our team had the Wildcats hanging on the ropes, and were leading 10 to 4. Then a cold wave must have enveloped the Satans, as they missed numerous set-ups, and could add only one fielder in the entire second quarter. Kokomo waltzed off the floor at halftime leading 16 to 12. The second half saw the Kats slowly pulling away from the luckless Devils, and taking the game with the final score of 32 to 23. We're proud of our boys and the way they played basketball this year: we can only say that with some much needed luck they would have undoubtedly gone much farther in tournament competition. ...ln-...A .,,,..-v --,-. ,gn tl 6Ll'I'llfl,l 6L 5 The government stressed physical fitness this year more than ever before, and the athletic department quickly responded with an enlarged Intramural program. Instead oi playing only basketball, as in previous years, the boys taking part in the Intramural pro- gram could box, play table tennis, softball, and a small amount of footballg however, there were no organized teams in any division except basketball. As usual, the sport that attracted the most interest was basketball, and the boys met in a group while the eight captains chose their teams. Each of these eight teams played seven contests, with the four squads which had the best Won-an-lost percentage battled it out in a playoff to determine the Intramural basketball champion. Massey's team, with seven games won and none lost, played Trimble's team, which had Won four and lost three: and Iaqua's team, with four victories to its credit, played Russell's team, which had also won four and lost three. Massey and Iaqua were the winners, so these two teams met for the championship, with laqua's men carrying off the cake by a score of 30 to 24. Final Intramural standings: Tournament: Massey ..........,............... 7-U Massey Trimble ...... ........ 4 -3 Massey laaua ..... ........ 4 -3 Trimble 'Russell ,....... 4-3 laqua Iaaua I laqua Russell After having been in seclusion since 19347, girls Intramurals Were finally revived. When the call was issued for the games to be resumed, the girls responded with surpris- ing fervor. Under the supervision of Miss Cosand, a group of the more hale and hearty members of the feminine sex tripped out the evenings of vigorous exercise. This year the time has been devoted mainly to girl's basketball, trules and techniquel. Because the games aren't compulsory, only those who are interested attend the meetings. In the basketball tournament which was held among the various teams, the losers treated the Winners to a coke bender. Such are the fruits of victory! Since the government has placed more and more importance on sports activities for girls, and since the girls themselves enioy this addition to their sports world so much, here's hoping the Intramural games continue through the years to come. any 861,105 go Sixth grade at the Third Warfi.
