The NVarriors lost continual yardage by penalties. In the first halt the Watseka team were set back 100 yards on penalties. Rodney Parkinson quarter- back for the team Went over from the 2 yard line for the only touchdown of the contest. Barry Hynd kicked the extra point with ease as usual. Paul Sorenson was injured in this game and was out for most of the season. Milford was a very much improved team from the 1952 squad. They enter- tained the Warriors on their new field. The night was very hard on the Nlilford 11. Ralph threw a touchdown pass to Hynd from about the 15 yard line. Hynd con- verted the extra point. In the latter part of the second quarter Ralph scored and the Warriors then took a 13 to 0 lead over their hosts. The XVarriors were held by Milford the last half. The only trouble being that Wfatseka held the Bearcats from scoring the whole game. The WVatseka 11 exchanged touchdowns often with Gilman. When the final gun had sounded the Warriors were ahead 19 to 12. Ralph. Parkinson, and Con- 48 zales scored for the Warriors and Hynd converted the extra point. This game was Watseka's third game straight. Gilman was the first team to score against the Warriors and they scored twice. The Watseka Warriors played host to Rantoul Eagles in the fourth game. Rantoul scored and made the extra point to go out front at the end of the first quarter. The Warriors had complete mastery of the ball from then on. They threatened at the half but the gun sounded before they could place the ball over the goal. The Warriors tied it up in the fourth quarter with a touchdown by Flach. He received the ball on a pass from Ralph. Hynd converted. The fifth game of the season opened with Watseka playing Paxton on the home field. Ralph and Grimes scored for Watseka to give us our twelve points. When the gun sounded at the end of the fourth quarter it showed Paxton had edged WVatseka by a thirteen to twelve victory. The Warriors were somewhat lax in playing this game compared to their 7 to 7 tie with Rantoul. Ralph scored from the seven and Grimes, Captain of the squad, toted the ball 46 yards for the other touchdown. The Warriors traveled to Onarga for its third conference game of the season. With Captain Bob Grimes out because of scholastic difficulties, the team felt a little down for this contest. johnny Woods a freshman did, however, a very capable job in Grimes place. In the very last seconds of the game, after Ralph had toted the ball 33 yards, Parkinson, quarterback of the 11 went over from the seven. Hynd converted and Watseka ended with a 7 to 0 victory. This game of which Watseka played very good ball offensively and defen- sively was played at Gibson. The Warriors wanted to win this one more than any other because of Gibson beating Watseka so terribly in previous seasons of play. A very beautiful play kick by Hynd aided by wonderful blocking set Watseka in advantage with a 3 to 0 score at the end of the half. Then after the half with the Warriors gamely trying to stop the Greyhounds' march saw them- selves go behind by a score of 7 to 3 with four minutes left. No person felt that the Watseka Warriors could feel down-hearted about losing that ball game. In the homecoming the Warriors took revenge on the Hoopeston 11 by beating them 19 to 13, Parkinson scoring two and Ralph one. If the game had progressed very much longer the Watseka team would have found themselves in a very bad spot, because Hoopeston was on the march, however, time ran out and the home team won. This victory gave WVatseka a 5 won, 2 lost, 1 tied season. Very respectable. 49 xfk, Q Yr GQANWJS BARRY HYND MICK MCAN B0 QQXWCY End Tf1c1f1eARNEY I MARION RALPH FHA N5 Halfback NK SC YPXAL. , HA UM XKODNEJ2Qj1mxexbaLY H'11H'i1C1c Bum' Q, Q., PA UL SORENSON Ilulfbuck xv .

He got almost as many rebounds as the whole Buckley-Loda squad put together, and McAnarney, high scoring senior center for the Warriors got 25 tallies.

The Warriors were trailing 10 to 3, with their last bat coming up because of darkness. The Watseka nine rallied and before the game and arguments ended, it was tied 10 to 10. Kankakee then forfeited the game to Watseka. The Warriors made up for a 2 to 1 defeat at the hands of Dunnington by defeating them 5 to 4 on the field. After Dooley was ineffective.

The teacher held up her hands for them to stop, and remarked, Your softs aren't loud enough and your attacks and releases are simply terrible. Well, this was our very patient chorus teacher, Miss Virginia VVils0n. She took a piece of chalk and wrote some silly looking things on the board and asked them what they meant. Everyone seemed to know the answers but when they started singing they seemed to have forgotten. Even with this, by contest time in the spring, everything seemed to be under control and the chorus came home happy and usually with a high rating. Besides girlsl, boysi, and mixed choruses there are two octettes, a girls' scxtette, a trio, and a quartette. 79 ,,.'0 1 SIX V ff S Q QW I rf I Q 5. 'Q' y Q ian Sf I 531+ .

Yes, the Junior-Senior Prom was here and so were all the guests, re- splendent in formal gowns and dashing tuxedoes. Our VV CHS gym was turned, as if by magic, into a very romantic April in Parisf, About six o'clock the party-goers began sauntering among the tables at the sidewalk cafe, each choosing his place. The girls in their Parisian dresses and fragrant corsages, each looking like Cinderella at the ball, and the boys, let me tell you, Prince Charming himself had nothing on them. To the music of Ray Pearl and his Musical Gems everyone danced away the evening, each in their dream world. The gym was a sidewalk cafe with the world-famous Eiffel Tower in the center. The fun and music-loving guests entered under an awning of orange, brown, and green and danced under an aqua sky. A road wound its way across the gym, alongside a park, complete with benches where couples could sit and rest dance-weary feet. An ancient street lamp put a special glow on the outdoor tables and punch was served from gay shops of old Paree. At 11:45, in tradition with all Watseka proms, pounds of confetti and serpentine were thrown, among the merrymakers. Balloons were released and then the terribleness of the French Revolution couldn't have left real Paris more desolate than our gym looked. But the most popular tune heard as these merry- makers left Paree was, It was the most wonderful evening I ever spent. It was perfectli' 81 BRASS SEXTETTE I Left to right: Terry Christy, Bill Clanahan, Bob Strick- ler, john Lehman, Alvin Cluver, and Shirley Crow. X.
