But milk is skimmed and seldom skum. And nails you trim—they are not trum. When words you speak, these words are spoken, But a nose is tweaked and can't be twoken. And what you seek is seldom soken. If we forget, then we’ve forgotten. But things we wet are never wotten And houses let cannot be lotten. The things one sells are always sold. But fogs dispelled are not dispold. And what j1)U smell is never smold. When young, a top you oft saw spun, But did you see a grin ever grun, Or a potato neatly skun? 7I4e oia AMONG OUR MEMORIES “The Arrival of Kitty” Dave B.’s crew cut(s) Our Jr.-Sr. Prom, “Under The Sea.” Initiation Days (a-ha!)

T. H. S. bound for 4 years of smooth (?) sailing to the Isle of Success. NaDean Porter was elected as “vice skipper”. The crew’s secretary. Bob Turner, kept the ship’s log for the first year of the long hazardous journey. Anne Heaton was elected by the crew to see that their membership fees were kept safe. Dean Smith and Jim Eadie were chosen as the Freshman crew’s representatives to the ship’s council. On board the ship, we were honored by the presence of two members of the Royal Court of the Tolo Carnival, Dave Biba and Esther McCulloch. Anne Heaton was elected as one of the four to lead the ship’s cheering section. After our crew had had a year of experience we chose new officers. They were: Dave Biba, president; Mildred Birdsley, vice president; and Charles Howell, secretary treasurer. Jim Eadie and Joan Wilson were appointed to the student council. Our class adviser was Miss Anderson. Again we had the pleasure of having Royalty with us. This time it was King Gene Wallace and attendant Mildred Birdsley. By the fall of ’48 our sailors had come to be known as “Tuffies.” In view of this fact, we felt that new officers MUST be elected. These honors were given to: NaDean Porter, president; Nancy Chamberlain, vice-president and Lois Elliott, secretary-treasurer. Ralph Crist and Joan Wilson were elected to the Tuffy Council. Two of our Tuffies, Joyce Behnke and Ralph Crist, rose so high as to become attendants of the Tolo Carnival Coronation. Our hard working Tuffies exhibited their hidden talents by producing the winning float in the Homecoming Parade and giving their very successful prom. The Tuffies were in their glory in presenting “Truth On a Holiday” which was typical of Tuffies. Mrs. Ham helped us through our Junior year. 33 of us back again, and this time— DIGNIFIED seniors. To lead us the last year of our voyage we elected Jack Winans, president; Merwyn Blakey, vice-president; and Joanne Doc, secretary-treasurer. Willard Carroll and Joyce Behnke were our delegates to the Student Council. The Senior Class play “The Arrival of Kitty” was given October 11, 1949. The Homecoming King, Merwyn Blakey; Queen, Joan Wilson; and attendants Joyce Behnke, Joan Briggs, Ralph Crist, and Willard Carroll were all members of the Senior Class. The annual Tolo Carnival was held December 10, 1949. Martha Bruning was crowned queen and Elmer Thurston was an attendant. Joyce Behnke was one of the varsity cheerleaders. With the help of our co-advisers Mr. and Mrs. Davies and our Tolo adviser, Mr. Patterson, we feel that our last year in T. T. H. S. has been very successful and enjoyable for all. We are looking forward to the prom and the class trip, but most of all, our real goal— graduation. J. W. ’50 M. F. 50 Mrs. Davies: “Dave, I am sorry to say your face is very dirty. I can even see what you had for breakfast this morning:.'' Dave: “What’d I have?” Mrs. Davies: Eggs.” Dave: Sorry, but you’re wrong:, that was yesterday morning:.” The farmer was trying: to sell his old horse. After trotting him around awhile, he said to the buyer, He has a beautiful coat, hasn’t he?” The buyer, noticing how hard the horse was breathing, said. “His coat's all right, but 1 don't like his pants.” 7 lie ala SENIOR ACTIVITIES DON PHILLIPS Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Football Co-captain 4; Basketball 2; Class President 1; Student Council 1; Track 1, 2, 3. 4; F.

EuGFNE WF.0STLR. 7Ae 7 w!o SENIOR PROPHECY How do you do ladies and gentlemen? This is station TTHS. As you all know this is that once in a lifetime day, the first day of a new century. Today we are broadcasting from Peterson’s Peaceful Plaza in the heart of Toulon. This old folks’ home is owned and operated by Eleanor Peterson. We are broadcasting the class reunion of the class of 1950, the class which graduated from Toulon High School just 50 years ago. First we shall meet the staff of the Plaza. The cook is Phyllis Thompson, who came here after retiring from her work at Owen’s Cafe. The physician is Jack Winans. After a long and successful practice, he came here to take care of his old friends. The nurses are Joan Wilson and Esther McCulloch. They, too, have had very successful careers in their field. Eugene Webster retired to the position of gardener after farming for many years. The butler is that quiet gentleman Donald Phillips. He fills the position very well since while he was still in high school, Donald learned at all times to conduct himself with a great amount of reserve and quiet dignity. The maid of course is Mrs. Phillips, the former NaDean Porter. The main event of the reunion is the program. The master of ceremonies is Bob Turner, the famous cartoonist. Bob’s comic strip has been in every paper in the country for the last forty five years. First on the program are a trio of singers from the Metropolitan Opera, George Eier-mann, bass, Joan Briggs, soprano, and Ruth Egert, mezzo soprano (alto that is). For the instrumental side of the music they had Dave Biba. who has been playing first baritone with the Band of America; Eloise Franklin, who has been playing first flute for Band of America, and Charles Howell, who has been playing first bassoon for Spike Jones. When we were through listening to the program we took a stroll among the people in the audience. One of the first persons we meet is the widow Smith, the former Marge Frank. Her husband, Dean Smith, was killed at the Indianapolis Speedway trying to beat his own record of three hours flat for the 500 mile course. Those people talking to her are Mr. and Mrs. Willard Carroll. Mr. Carroll and his wife, the former Joyce Behnke, are having a reunion with their ten children on their farm near West Jersey. As we go on through the crowd we see Ralph Crist, who has been coaching the Toulon Trojans. Ralph made sports history when his basketball teams went undefeated for twenty-five straight years. There is Mrs. Ham, the former Delores Durbin. Mr. Ham became famous when he worked his way up in Kraft Cheese until they changed the name to Ham Cheese. There is another important business man, Harold Webster. He amazed everyone when he settled down in West Jersey as a bachelor raising chickens. Talking to Mr. Webster are Mr. and Mrs. Gene Wallace. Mrs. Wallace is the former Audrey Gerard. Mr. Wallace made a fortune in the trucking business. The center of attraction in THAT group SEEMS to be Merwyn Blakey. Mr. Blakey has been football coach at Notre Dame for many years. Maybe we know some of the people who are talking to him. Yes, there’s Nancy Chamberlain. She is famous for her ability at barn dancing and singing. Her theme song is a version of “Gotta Get Happy.” She calls it “Gotta Get Cappy.” Here, too, is the former Lois Elliott. She married her first boss and is now raising three sets of red-headed twins. Another one of them that we know is Delores Newman who was recently named ‘“Grandmother of the Year.” In another part of the audience we see another group from the class of ’50. Joanne Doe, the first woman to win the Kentucky Derby, is seen talking to Elmer Thurston. Mr. Thurston has owned and operated a farm north of Toulon for many years. Also in that group is Ardelle Jones, elementary grade school teacher, and Martha Bruning. Martha was for some time World’s Champion Hog Caller. She developed this talent while in high school where she was always calling someone. Anne Heaton is not with us today she is with her husband who is a marine stationed in Japan. Well, it looks as if our time is up. This is T. T. H. S., your Toulon Radio Station. D. M. ’51 C. G. ’51 B. C. ’51 A. F. ’51 7 JoI F. F. A. Harold Webster F. H. A.

We chose Dean Milburn as our Captain and Betty Cinnamon co-captain. Louise Hargadine was the manager of our funds and records and Susan Winter publicized our team. Two reserves, Carolyn Grieve and Alan Ford, served us as student council members. To coach us through the season we were lucky to have Mrs. Keller, our sponsor. We took time out to go to the Tolo Carnival at which Betty C.nnamon and Kenny Heaton represented us. To promote good feeling between our rival teams we on the Freshman squad treated the varsity seniors, by giving a party in their honor. A thrilling second quarter began in the fall of '48, witn Betty Cinnamon, Captain; Alan Ford, Co-captain; Rose Marie Ewing, a new member of our team, manager; and Milas Hicks to “report” our progress. Our student council members were Carolyn Grieve and Harold Ely. Mrs. Keller coached us through the second quarter with flying colors- At the Tolo Carnival, Carolyn Grieve attended the queen and Alan Ford was chosen king. To celebrate St. Patrick’s Day we sponsored a party for all the classes. In ’49 our third quarter started and we began our warm up with expert aim by choosing Jim Briggs as our Captain and Alan Ford Co-captain. Carolyn Grieve was elected manager and Barbara Bower became our publicity agent. To represent us on the student council we picked Louise Hargadine and Milas Hicks. Mrs. Keller remained to coach us through our third quarter and we happily welcomed Mrs. Ham as a new member of our coaching staff. As an extra activity we sold pop corn to increase our funds. At the Tolo Carnival we were ably represented by Barbara Catton and Jack Horton, the latter being chosen king. Now we are nearing the crucial point in the game. Our fourth quarter will determine the score. B. C. 51 J. B. ’51 SOPHOMORE HISTORY In the fall of 1948 forty-five green freshmen entered Toulon High School. We were all a bit bewildered for a while but we felt much more at home after the Seniors initiated us. The officers we elected were as follows: President, Frank Stogsdill; Vice-president, Roger Webster; Secretary-Treasurer, Harry Allen; Student Council Representatives, Doris Winter, Lloyd Phillips; Class Reporter, Dean Wilkinson. Mr. Davies was our class sponsor. Virginia King and John Terpening represented the Freshman class as attendants at the Tolo Carnival. There were four cheerleaders from the Freshman class. Janet Marshall was chosen as cheerleader for the Junior-Senior team. Jeanne Briggs, Ruth Chamberlain, and June Webster FRESHMAN Forty-nine timid, but determined “Green Freshies” entered T. T. H. S. for a “Get-acquainted” day on August 29, 1949. On the following day, our first among our upper class-men, we were all very self-conscious because it seemed as if everyone was watching us to see how many mistakes we might make amid our new surroundings. With the help of our class sponsors. Miss Elliott and Mr. Hocking, we elected our class officers as follows: President, Bob Price; Vice-president, Marjorie Marshall; Secretary-Treasurer, Bob Wallace; Reporter, Roger Nowlan; and Student Council members, Marilee Benedict and Lennie Winans. On Friday, September 13, 1949, came that dreaded day. Initiation Day, on which we Freshmen were subjected to the dictates of the Seniors. We were to give a short (?) speech to were cheerleaders for the Freshman-Sophomore team. The fall of 1949 found forty-three Sophomores returning to school. Our class sponsors are Miss Lipps and Mr. Large. We elected the following class officers: President, Janet Marshall; Vice-president, Kenneth Biba; Secretary-Treasurer, Roger Webster; Student Council Representatives, Don Musselman, Gary Jackson; Class Reporter, Virginia King. There are three cheerleaders from the Sophomore class. They are Jeanne Briggs, June Webster and Janet Marshall. The Sophomore attendants at the Tolo Carnival were Ruth Chamberlain and Roger Webster. M. D. E. C. HISTORY each Senior whom we met. The Seniors seemed all too plentiful before the day ended! However, that evening we enjoyed a nice party given by the Seniors. Our Tolo Carnival attendants were: Gladys Jackson and Bob Price. In the annual magazine drive the Freshmen proudly won first place with a total of $284. Marilee Benedict and Bob Price were high salesmen. The highlight of our Freshman year was the St. Patrick’s Day party which we gave the Seniors in return for their party. In reviewing this, our first year of high school, we Freshmen have come to realize that getting a high school education is a very important step in preparing ourselves for any future career we may follow.

Farewell Seniors! VUe cUo SENIOR CLASS PLAY On October 11, 1949, the Senior class presented their annual class play, “The Arrival of Kitty ’ under the direction of Mrs. Catheryn Dav.es. The cast was as follows: William Winkle Charles Howell Bob Baxter Bob Turner Jane Delores Newman Ting Jack Winans Benjamin Moore George Eiermann Sam _______________________ Dave Biba Aunt Jane Ruth Egert Suzette NaDean Porter Kitty ________________ Dolores Durbin This proved to be a rollicking comedy and netted the Seniors a handsome sum of money. This is the story of Bob Baxter, a college graduate and a well-known athlete, who is in love with Jane, the girl of his dreams. Jane’s wealthy father made an eccentric will instructing that his daughter should marry Benjamin Moore, a pompous bachelor of forty, who had once saved his life. Moore was quite willing to carry out the conditions of the will, as was also William Winkler, Jane’s uncle and guardian, for selfish reasons of his own, but Jane being in love with Bob had ideas quite to the contrary. Winkler took Jane and her old maid aunt to the Halcyon House in the Catskill Mountains, determined to force Jane into the marriage with Moore, but Bob turned up and took a hand in the game. Jane’s aunt had a strong aversion to the stage generally and to actresses in particular. Winkler was in love with Kitty Benders, a well-known actress. Bob, to force Winkler’s hand, told Aunt Jane about the affair, but Winkler, by a clever stroke, spiked his guns and left Bob holding the sack. Bob, in an effort to get even with Winkler, impersonated Kitty, his actress friend, and made things so hot for Winkler that finally, in sheer desperation, he agreed to the wedding and all ended happily. D. N. ’50 THE JUNIOR The Junior class presented a three-act comedy, “The Brainstorm,” on February 24, with the help of Mrs. Davies and their student director, Betty Cinnamon. This play was full of many amusing situations and clever wisecracks from Inner Willy. The play takes place in the fall about football season time in Willoughby Adam’s college room. Willoughby Adams, (Jim Briggs), is a shy meek college boy, who is haunted by his conscience, Inner Willy, (Bob Packard), and taunted by his college friends: Johnny Newton, (Jim Williams); Harvey Downs, (Harold Ely); Ralph Jones, (Alan Ford); Chuck Martin, (Dean Milburn); and the public: Lottie, (Bertha Lind); Marion. (Barbara Bower); Anna, (Nancy Parker); Kay, (Sue Thrailkill); Dorothy, (Carolyn Grieve). His three aunts, CLASS PLAY Aunt Louise, (Louise Hargadine); Aunt Olgo, (Helen Unruh); Aunt Hester, (Barbara Miller); do so much love their nephew who just couldn’t play football because they had a dear friend who broke his nose in “three” places. Marybelle, (Marie Jackson), is a sweet, sensible, but very unattractive, hometown sweetheart of Willoughby. With the help of Inner Willy, Willoughby breaks loose from all and finds his way to victory with Sally Bishop, (Alice Evans). Coach Lloyd, (Jack Horton), and Hank Johnson, (Jim Reeves), were very rude about their way of telling the aunts just what Willoughby was supposed to be doing. It all ends very happily with Sally getting her man, Willoughby, and the aunts and Marybelle returning to Middleton. Oh yes! Inner Willy was no longer needed when he found Willoughby could shift for himself. STUDENT COUNCIL Early in the Fall the Student Council held the annual wiener roast, inviting last year’s seniors. There was an exceptionally good crowd. The Student Councils of Toulon and Wyoming started a series of “Trade” Dances between the two schools to promote friendship. Magazine sales receipts went to the individual classes this year. The Council sold pencils, license plate tags, and T-shirts. The Student Council engaged a quartet to present a program, and also had several students perform on assembly programs. Homecoming was very successful. The gym was decorated as a football field. Marilee Benedict, Janet Marshall, and Jack Winans attended the District Student Council meeting at Jacksonville. They attended several State Institutions, and attended a dance given for delegates. J.

Approximately one hundred fiction and non-fiction books had been added, which have seen a lot of wear and have been enjoyed very much. Another addition was an unabridged dictionary. I think we will all agree that we have a bigger magazine selection than last year. The magazines have been kept in better condition because we have leather magazine covers for 'current issues of the popular magazines. These add to the appearance of our magazine rack. To keep things running smoother, we have fewer student librarians than last year. They are Alice Evans, Alice Crisp, Delores Newman, Virginia King, and Joan Briggs. To make it easier on the librarians, the clerical work has been simplified. The library this year has been running very smoothly. There are fewer fines and overdue books. Now that books are due only on Tuesday it cuts down the work for the librarians. The students of Toulon High should be complimented on their fine co-operation in helping to keep the books and magazines in good condition. Delores Newman ’50 SCHOOL To school each day 1 go Because the law hath willed it so. 1 gulp my breakfast, 1 grab my books, I don't have time to think of looks. My hair's a mess, my .shoes a crime, I get there just in the nick of time. The first class would be band, you know— I’m all out of breath and scarce can blow My clarinet, and that 1 hate! Next Is Knglish, to which I’m late, Then to History class I get me hence— ’Tis just my luck to have current events— And off for home to get my lunch, And back to school with the rest of the bunch. The next class after noon is Math. Which for me is an easy path. Geography comes at the very last. So finally the school day is past. From this you might think me a fool, But really and truly 1 do like school! Optimistic—I’m looking for a job, sir. Sir—Well, you seem capable, but we can’t afford to hire much help. Optimistic—Thai’s all right, sir. I won’t be much help. Joan—Mr., that’s a sad-looking library. Joyce- -Why. because it has panes in the windows? Joan—No, because the books are in tiers! Ite. 7ala G. A. A. The ’49-’50 G. A. A. was organized one day early in October. Sixty-five girls helped to get things started. The following officers were elected: Nancy Chamber-lain, President; Audrey Gerard, Vice- President; Marge Frank, Secretary-Treasurer; and Sarah Harrington, Reporter. Miss Lipps and Coach Stevenson were the sponsors for this year. The first activity was bowling and the girls wishing to take part signed up. They were divided into teams and bowled every other week. Ten girls took part in a bowling tournament, with the five highest scores sent in to the state to be compared with other schools. Basketball was played at noons, with teams from the classes playing. A tournament of shooting baskets was held with twenty girls taking part in it. The ten highest scores were sent in to the state to be compared with the other schools. Everybody seemed to enjoy the games and they all fought hard to the end. Swimming was enjoyed by the girls at the Y in Kewanee. Volleyball was played at noons, with the girls divided into teams. A party was planned by the social committee. It was a different kind of a party and was given for the whole school. Everybody that attended enjoyed themselves. The G. A. A. sent two girls to the Leadership Camp at East Bay, Bloomington. This was done to help the G. A. A. for the coming year. E. P. ’50 ▲ TOULONICLE The Toulonicle, our school paper, had its start in the spring of 1948 and has become a definite part of our activities this year. A noted part of this edition is the Dustpan which contains all of the latest gossip around the school. Everyone helps publish the paper by writing various articles which are of interest to the entire student body. The Typing II class does the actual typing and duplicating while the Art class furnishes the artistic touches. The staff was chosen at the beginning of the year with Miss Caroline Lipps as the sponsor. David Biba was elected editor, with NaDean Porter and Eloise Franklin as co-editors. Everyone in school receives a copy of the Toulonicle which is published every other week. The extra copies which are left are sent to members of former graduating classes so that they, too, may keep up on the latest happenings in T. T. H. S. THEM MOUNTAIN BOYS During: the war, two soldiers from the mountain country amused their pals with tales about life back home in the hills. “Why,” drawled one of the boys one night, tip in Possum Holler, we're so far hack from civilization we ain’t ever had clocks or watches to tell the time of day.” Shucks!” remarked the second boy, determined not to be out done. You talkin' about time—why where 1 come from, we’re so far back in Dead Man’s Cavern we have Yo pipe the daylight in.” 7i4c 1 1 FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA In the fall of 1949 these officers of our F. H. A. were chosen to guide and lead us: President ___________ Helen Unruh Vice President ___ Diane Elliott Secretary __________________________Nancy Parker Treasurer Lois Elliott Reporter, Historian Everel Schmidt Mrs. Ham is our adviser and the chapter chose Mrs. Dwight Elliott for our chapter mother. November 1 we held a formal installation at four o’clock. The mothers of all the members were invited. After installation a tea was held in the Home Economics room. For the entire year the theme, “Let’s Have a Better Toulon” was to be followed for our meetings. Once a month we hold a meeting 5th hour for our discussions and business. On October 15, 1949 Mrs. Clyde Ham, Helen Unruh, and Diane Elliott attended the section meeting in Peoria. Helen was selected as Secretary of the section. At Christmas time two major tasks were accomplished. Christmas gifts were sent to other lands by the help of the contributions of the entire school. Then on December 17 an all school formal was held with about fifty couples attending. January 30, 1950 we admitted 17 new members to the club. A formal and an informal initiation was held. To earn some money for the chapter they dec.ded to serve the F. F. A. banquet to be held in the spring. Plans are now under way to leave a gift to the Home Economics department. A. H. ▲ FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA LEARNING The Future Farmers of America is a national organization of farm youth studying agriculture in the high schools. Officers elected to serve the Toulon Chapter are as follows: President Don Phillips Vice President Willard Carroll Secretary Gene Wallace Treasurer Dean Smith Reporter Harold Webster Sentinel Eugene Webster Adviser Mr. D. A. Hocking The F. F. A. Chapter which is an organization of the “Ag,” has 41 boys. In all our meetings we follow the parliamentary order. This procedure develops leaders for the future, who are able to conduct or enter into meetings in a democratic way. Decisions relating to the F. F. A. are made by the boys with the approval of their adviser, Mr. D. A. Hocking. Making money for our organization, we operated a checkroom at basketball games and other events. BY DOING Don Phillips, Harold Webster, Gary Jackson, Ed Fussner, and our adviser, Mr. D. A. Hocking, went to the F. F. A. camp at Camp Wokana for five days. Jack Horton and Gordon Turnbull took three steers to the International Livestock Show at Chicago. Gordon Turnbull got fourth place and Jack Horton got fifth. The F. F. A. Chapter went up by bus the day of the show. Don Phillips has rented 80 acres to farm and Jack Horton has rented fourteen acres. We have the following number of projects; 31 registered sows, 11 grade sows, 5 registered ewes, 4 grade ewes, 45 beef, 26 chickens, 3 ducks and 2 geese. We plan to take a first place at the International Livestock Show next year. In our shop we have made hoghouses, feed troughs for cattle, hogshutes, and other various items. A few of the boys have been working on the lathe and have found it fascinating. We also have taken some field trips which have given the “Ag” chapter some very good plans and ways of farming better in years to come. To “Grow” into farming is our purpose. H. Webster Ite. lolo F.

Joan—I say, waiter. There’s an ant in my soup. Waiter—Oh no, sir.

Everyone in the class was to become a member. The purpose of the club was to promote better relationships and understanding between our country and Latin America. At the first meeting of the club the following officers were elected: Helen Unruh, President; Milas Hicks, Vice-President; Jeanne Briggs, Secretary-Treasurer: and Evelyn Grieve as reporter. Tertulia Espanola” was selected as a name for the club with “Poco a poco : e va lejos,” Little by little we go forward, as a motto. The club voted to hold meetings every third Friday during the class period. One of the interesting activities of the club has been an exchange of correspondence with boys and girls in Cuba, South, and Central America. This correspondence supplemented the new understanding of our Latin American neighbors which club members have gained from the interesting discussions on the customs and life in Mexico and South America. The club also enjoyed singing Latin American songs and listening to recordings of Spanish music. The club members and Miss Elliott, their sponsor, are unanimous in declaring that the activities of Tertulia Espanola have made the study of the Spanish language easier and more enjoyable. 1Ue 1oU STUDENT COUNCIL First Row: Jim Briggs, Willard Carroll, Jack Winans, Joyce Behnke, Mr. Stevenson.

The Trojans lost their first game to Knoxville by the score of 12-0. Knoxville jumped to a 12-0 half time lead but neither team could score the second half. Our next loss was to a fighting Wethersfield team by the score of 13-6. Then came Walnut, the Blackhawk Champs and after a hard struggle the Trojans lost by a score of 26-13. Next came a rugged Princeville team and once again the Trojans bowed to defeat by the score of 18-0. The next game was with the lucky Wildcats of Galva. They edged us out 13-6. We then played Bradford. The night was bad for both teams as it rained very hard and turned the field into a swamp. Bradford won 18-6. Our Homecoming was next and we played our traditional rivals—Wyoming. We ran over, under, and through them, but due to several bad breaks, we failed to score four times when we were within ten yards of the goal. We finally pulled through to victory 12-6. What a thrilling homecoming that was! Our next victory came when we rolled over a rugged Roosevelt Military Academy in the last quarter of the game. The score was 22-19. We will lose the following lettermen this year: Ralph Crist, Dave Biba, Don Phillips, Willard Carroll, Eugene Webster, Gene Wallace, Harold Webster, Jack Winans, Dean Smith, Bob Turner, and Doc Blakey. These boys are depending on their underclassmen to make up a good team next year. B. T. ’50 M. B. ’50 ▲ BASKETBALL The Trojans had a very successful season in basketball this year, winning 14 games while losing 7. We tied for third place in the Blackhawk Conference and were the Champions of the Stark County Tourney. The team chose Ralph Crist to lead them as Captain, and under him we had a fine season. We lose several lettermen, but we will expect a good team back next year. Credit also must be given to Mr. Large and the Fresh.-Soph, team for doing a fine job during the year. Some of his boys will help to make up the Varsity next year. Some of the players on the Varsity squad are: R. Crist, B. Franklin, W. Carroll, D. Biba, D. Blakey, G. Wallace, H. Ely, A. Ford, D. Milburn, M. Hicks, J. Williams, and Ed Fussner. About five seniors are going to graduate from this squad this year, but with the help of the reserves and the second squad, Mr. Stevenson should have a good squad next year. A TRACK We should have a good track team this year. We have a few lettermen back and with the help of others, we should have a successful season. Some of the lettermen are: Dave Biba, who was chosen captain; D. Phillips, W. Carroll, G. Wallace, and some of the ones who were on the Fresh.-Soph, squad.
