Though inexperienced, they dropped the Redskins 13 to 6. Bob Williams tallied both touchdowns and also the extra point. Milford journeyed to Watseka on September 24. The XVarriors had waited for this game for a long time and they jumped on the Bearcats for two touch- downs in the first half. Milford scored in the last period to make the final score 12 to 7. Frank Schaumburg scored both Watseka touchdowns. The NVarri0rs displayed their talents on the Gilman Owls gridiron on October 1. Not a spectator left until after the final whistle had been blown as Watseka finished in spectacular fashion, scoring with only 2 minutes left in the game. The final score read 13 to 12, in Watseka's favor. Bob Williams and Ken Townsend each scored a TD and VVayne Roberts kicked the extra point. October 7 is a night all Watseka football fans would like to forget. That was the night the Warriors took the long trip to Rantoul. The Eagles turned it on and trounced the WVarriors 33 to 0. Despite the lop-sided score, the Eagles were not much better than Watseka. VVatseka, on October 15, motored to Paxton for their second conference tilt. It wasnit a very pleasant night for a football game as it rained during the first half of the contest. The VVarriors were ahead with only 30 seconds left to play 1491 in the game and they owned possession of the ball. Although it seems impossible, Paxton won 8 to 6. A Paxton player picked up a VVarrior fumble and ran 45 yards to victory. Bob Williams scored Watsekais lone TD. The Warriors really lived up to their name on October 22, as the OMS' Yellowjackets invaded Blake Field. This was VVatseka's first conference win. The VVarriors racked up 64 points and held the Yellowjackets to 7. john VVood scored 3 touchdowns and Frank Schaumburg and Wayne Roberts each made 2 TDs. Bob Seggebruch, Bob Rhoades, and Bob VVilliams each scored one TD. Bob Beisecker kicked 3 extra points and Wayne Roberts caught a pass for the other one. October 29 was the annual homecoming for the VVarriors and Gibson City was the opponent. Previous to this, Watseka hadn't won a game from the Grey- hounds since 1946. However, this time it was a different story. VVatseka dropped Gibson, 9 to 0. just before half time, Bob Beisecker and Gary Nelson tackled a Gibson halfback in his own zone for a safety and 2 points. In the third quarter Frank Schaumburg scored on a sweep around right end. Beisecker kicked the extra point and that was the ball game. The last conference game and the last game of the football season was played at Hoopeston on November 15. In the first quarter Hoopestonis players crashed on john Wood as he was attempting to punt. The attempt was blocked, picked up, and run back 25 yards for a touchdown. For the first and only time this season, the NVarriors were up against a definitely better ball club. Eventually, they came up on the short end of a 28 to 0 score. Watseka finished the schedule with a record of 5 wins and 3 losses. This was a very creditable record, considering the fact that Coach McKenzie had a very inexperienced team when starting the season. They came a long way in a short time and should have finished with a 6 and 2 record. In the VVauseca Conference they Won 2 and lost 3. l50l H-fri A 'X X, ax Qs R g,,,A - x ,S X 1 x N J' fn, 4 ..53i 'sf .-mm My Q X .Ai f-,li 31 A fi 'bffl 'Rf ...,. I, -, . . :ff 'K S.

It proved to be a very unhappy afternoon, as Rensselaer won 5 to O. Liback, the opposing pitcher, hurled a no hit, no run game against the VVarriors. Watseka was host to Bantoul on june 15. They played the role of poor hosts, however, as they whipped Rantoulis nine, 10 to 1. This win somewhat avenffed Watseka, after a long string of football, basketball, and track defeats at the hahds of the Eagles from Rantoul. On june 22, the VVarriors turned in another win, this time at the expense of the Hoopeston Cornjerkers. The Iinal score was 8 to 3. The Warriors garnered only 5 hits but made the most of them to turn in the victory. The Mustangs from Paxton journeyed to VVatseka,s diamond on june 25. They were the victims of the Warriors' third straight win. Frank Schaumburg collected four hits for the winners. On july 6, the Warriors traveled to Hoopeston. They thought they were there to play Hoopestoifs nine. Due to a mixed up schedule, however, they played the Kankakee Kays. This was the same aggregation that had won the junior Legion district play-off a week before. The Warriors put a fine showing but they were defeated 4 to 0. Watseka drove to Hantoul on July 12. Sam Dooley pitched a fine game for the Warriors as did Mawry for the Eagles. The Eagles scored 3 runs on Hve hits. The Warriors also got five hits but they couldnit score. The Warriors motored again to Hoopeston on july 22. The schedule was correct this time and they played the Cornjerkers. The VVarriors had occasion to disagree with the umpires, but it did them no good, and they lost 6 to 3. The Warriors wound up their baseball season by touring to Paxton, on july 25. The contest was staged under the lights. Since the Warriors weren't accus- tomed to playing night baseball, it apparently hurt their batting eye. They scored only 1 run on a collection of four hits. Although Sam Dooley struck out ten batters and allowed only two hits, the Mustangs scored 3 runs.

E721 law Broadcaster The new editor-in-chief Carol Harrison, news editor Bob Strickler, feature editor Anne Eastburn, sports editor Boy Smith, and Miss Cochran have improved the Broadcaster greatly this year. The staff for the first time in the history of the Broadcaster has a set number oi members. Miss Cochran has helped immensely in increasing the attractiveness of the paper by giving valuable advice in page make-up. Last fall the Broadcaster sent Joyce Bell, Anne Eastburn, llobert Strickler, and Boy Smith to the I. S. H. S. P. A. convention held at Champaign. XVe still exchange school papers with other schools, including schools from Iroquois County, Chicago, Indiana, California and the Hawaiian Islands. By doing this, the staff learns how to improve the Broadcaster by seeing how other papers are set up. The students of WVCIIS enjoy the Broadcaster immensely and eagerly look forward to each issue.

The story revolves around Margie, Sharon Cassell, 21, who has a mind of her own and who is trying to convince her father, Bill Fox, that she is no longer a child. Into the story comes Freddie, Karl Oelke, her boy friend whom her father dislikes. From this we get a very hilarious play. The cast was as follows: Margie Albright ...., Vern Albright . .

This production was centered around the arrival of a movie star, Gayle joy, and her press agent, jack Haggerty, at a boy's prep school for the annual fall prom. Hunk Hoyt and Dutch Miller, roommates of Bud Hooper remain loyal to Bud during the trying situation, as it was Bud who in a weak moment invited the movie star. Miss Delaware Water Gap,', Minerva, Ethyl, and the Blind Date arrive, only to find their dates entranced by the glamorous movie star. Helen, who is Bud's date, really faces trouble when she learns it was he who had invited Gayle joy and becomes desperately angry. Greenie and Satchel, also friends of Bud delightfully add humor to the situation. O. B. Reeber, who is principal of the school is exasperated by the conduct of his aprizei' students, while Professor Lloyd accepts everything quite calmly. The Old Grad adds a touch of hilarity by his old peppery college spirit. Chester, the photographer, shoots many amusing scenes between Gayle joy, the principal, and Bud Hooper. The chaperon appears in the oddest placeslat the most crucial moments causing friction between her and her closely guarded girls. THE CAST Gayle Joy ....... jack Haggerty ..... Hunk Hoyt ......

The theme of the affair was Stardust.', Decorations in the gym were carried out appropriately. From the center of the gym floor, a large three dimensional star hung with search lights shining on it. A false ceiling and walls were made with blue crepe paper streamers sprinkled with stars. The punch table was white with two large blue stars on it. Silver Stardust was found everywhere. After the banquet, Bill Fox, the junior class president, gave a welcoming speech to the seniors, joe Quick, the senior class president, then gave the response. Music was furnished by Ray Pearl and his orchestra, featuring a girl vocalist, for dreamy dancing until one.
