FORIIAJiU We, the students of the Union Free, are very proud of our? high school. Though it is not large in reSpect to material things, it exceeds many twice its 84.218 in unknown qualities which make a school reSpeoted and honored. The students themselves, do not realize the greatness of their school until it is too late and they have graduated. So by bringing to- gether little scenes of the past nine months, we give you a memento which will live to be cherished by all. . v. is 9k: zxvik wa memmwm. '33!!! umgiiifkm X u xuw $u$ Immu.

With eyes bright and their hearts filled with success they walked off with an A rating. .But the following Monday, November 22, those same eyes were dimmed a bit for this time at the sectional contest they received a B rating. This also was held at Stevens Point. The cast of Mooncalf Mugford consisted of: John Mugford ------ Arthur Lee Etta Mugford ------ Lila Simonson 'Tabby Pipp -------- Sally Ann Anderson Mrs. Lowell ------- Lois Larson Caleb Orne -------- Marvin Erickson Moonoalf Mugfore was a dramatic play based upon insanity. ;30hn Mugford is called Moonoalf by the boys and others because of his actions and clouded mind. Etta Mugford, his wife, loves her husband and does everything in her power to help him. But John does not trust her. He thinks, as most insane people do, that Etta, his wife, is the one that is really insane and he treats her very rough. A kind but exoentric neighbor, Tabby Pipp, calls on Etta to ask her if she wants some dandielion greens ; while there's Mrs. Lowell, a summer tourist, who comes and buys one of Etta's hooked rugs. After Mrs. Lowell departs Tabby is about to leave when John comes running home chased by the boys from the shipyard. After a hasty exit by Tabby John confides to Etta that Tabby is crazyw ne then proceeds to tell Etta about his world and urges her to Join him. Under the strain Etta's resistance breaks and she becomes insane and enters John's dream world under the spell of unreality. When the ghost of Caleb Orne visits them Etta now can see him also but Tabby, who returns with the danielion greens is frightenea by their queer talk. Then Tabby realizes tLat Etta also is insane and she runs out of the house screaming at the top of her lungs. The other three eave and go down by the sea to look for the dragons in the sea caves.

From then on the game was nip and tuck with Bowler holding a sliqht edge. With four minutes to co Moe sunk one from the side to knot up the score at 26all. From then on it was anybodys ballqame as both sides exchaneed buckets. That last minute of play was about the wildest minute ever wittnessed by a basketball crowd. Coach Chris- tiensen says thats the most hectic minute of his life. Players were all over the floor, a shot at this end, a shot at the other. With a half a minute left Lee nicked the ball of the Opponents board and tore down to the other end, Jumped up and dripped through a field goal that sent the crowd into a state of hysterics. A fouls by a Scandy player gave Bowler two free throws, he made only 1 and the score stood 52-51. Scandy cot the ball down on their end and whioozd it into Mork. He stepped to the left and let fly with his wicked hook shot, as that oversized grapefruit tickled the net the old hall just rocked,the crowd went nuts! That last shot calmly executed by hork clinched the Victory.

The year 48-49 provided the best basketball season for Scen6y that they have enjoyed in many years. There were several records set this year. Both Mark and Moe broke the record of vast years in individual scorina. Mark scored 245 Dts. and M08 175 points. The former record for omeyear was 175 points. .This was held by Kip Trinrug. The Vikinvs also scored 670 points during the year, this is more than had ever been scored before. The Vikinvs won nine conference oames and lost only three. They held first place all season until the last couole of games. Disaster struck as the Bowler five knocked us out of the chamnionship in the last game of the season. Bowler's 49-45 victory over us knocked us back in second place and sent Tiaerton into first. But we think that second place is pretty mood for the smallest school in the conference, because that is what we are. This year the team loses three regulars, Lee, Moe, and Erickson, and also Anderson, a eood sub. But re- aardless of this, next year they should have a good team anyway. Coming back next year are Juniors Mark, Taylor, and Gjertson. hark and Taylor were regulars this year and Gjertson saw a lot of action as a sub. Allen Jensen is only a soohmore and he should be a handy player next season. Then we have two promisins freshmen, Rollo Taylor and David Nelson. All those cuys tovether should make a wood ballclub. The tournament was played at Ticerton. It didn' t look like Scandy was a second place team those two nichts as they not bumped twice. However they didn' t aive up and kept on fiehtina rivht up to the very end. The first came they olayed a strong Bonduel team and the Vikings took it on the nose -46-26. Bonduel took an early lead and were never threatned. The Ticerton floor still held its jinx over the Vikinns as they dropped their second came to Rosholt by a tune of 26-45. The first hglf was fairly close but in the second half Rosholt pulled away never to be overtaken. Althoueh we did lose those tournament games, the rest of the season was alrisht and I want fo say it was sure fun elayinw with the swell bunch we had this year, I want to wisn the team sf next 37s s thf best 0f lackn ij e.- .x-w-un-Itvr-n- . - 4-4....g-m-n hn-m-m 4.... .Jul- . :W..Lv-AR.V -n'.-1: '1;,-:--1 .;w a.gow I . o. :x-Jvu-I iv A In ' v'h .- -ur-e-ID- MORK'S MUSINGS The Scandy High School baseball nine had an on and off season this year. Last fall we won three while losing six for a not to good a record; We beat Rosholt 4-0, Tigerton 7-2 and Almond 16-0. We lost to Amherst 11-3 and took it on the nose twice from Iola, 4-1 and 7-1. Ma toon took us 13-5, and Gresham nailed us 16-6, and Bowler went an extra inning of play to nose us out 6-5. Moe and Gudmandsen did most of the hurling for the Vikings. The spring season started out bad as we lost to Waupaca 11-3, and Iola 7-6. After those two losses, we got started and took three straight beating Rosholt 2-0, on Moe's two hitter, Wittenberg 6-4, and Amherst 5-4 in a game that went an extra inning. Our three game winning streak ended as we blew a six run lead and got nosed out by Bowler 7-6. This snring Moe, Colrue, and Gudmandsen handled the pitchinc. The highlights of the past season were the homers hit by Colrue, Moe, and Mark, Moeis pitching two two hitters against Reanolt and Colrue and Moe setting down Wittenberg with five hits this Spring. This year we lose five players, Colrue, Moe, Lee, Erickson, and Anderson. We will really miss the hustle and spirit of these players next season as they really played some good games. So we look to next year and hOpe we can show such fine Sportsmanship and do as Well as the teams of the past have one.
