Clansman Richard Atterberry headed the student council as president and was assisted by fellow pioneers, Donaline Sundstrom, Burtis Meyer, and Alan Keck. Burtis Meyer reigned over the annual homecoming round-up as queen. Our novel float featuring Borgman, Schuck, and a guillotine won second prize for us. We had many able and experienced '49 men to help us to march on to victory on the gridiron and basketball court. During the final weeks of our Journey we stopped in one of the frontier towns and entertained the other pioneers with a play. While stopped, the surveyors treated us to a banquet and prom. Then we contended on our journey through semester exams to one of our last stops Baccalaureate. Then our final destination graduation. Weary of traveling over the trails and mountains, we bade our last farewell to Fort W.C.H.S. and boarded ship to take a glorious four day cruise on the Great Lakes.

My X 1 FOOT BALL FACTSTF- Once more under the capable hand of Golden Babcock, the Panthers ended their 1948 grid season with four wins and four losses, the best re- cord in three years. Running from the HTH formation in- stead of the single wing as in former years, the orange and black looked like even surer bets for next season. Goldie found six lettermen reporting for practice August 25, and added many strong re- serves to form his large squad. After winning the opening contest against Chillicothe, the Panthers went scoreless for the next four games, losing all, and appeared jggwmx-a headed for a losing year. The WMM ,vbf team was able to bounce back, e ,,r, . .,, c however, taking the last fig- . Q three games to finish the Wg season with a 500 record. iff' .K X 5 u M 4 W? .
