HERE AND THERE IN W.H.S. Posing in the upper picture are mem- bers of the Girls' Athletic Association, Wel- lington's newest organization for the rec- reation of girls in sports. It was organized last fall by Miss Dorothy Resch, physical education instructor, who honored twenty girls with letters. Te earn a letter, girls in junior high must earn 400 points, and those in senior high 600 points in sports such as bicycling, hiking, bowling, and tennis.' The opposite picture is of the football game at Ark City with Nofsinger fumbling the ball and Mitchell ready to recover. This picture is the pride of Vic Nichols, our student photographer who won a Megaphone for his football pictures. Edgah Henson, the pleasant little colored lad who was the foot- ball boys' charmer, and Captain Denny in that familiar position. Who says Wellington doesn't have a basketball team for the future? Take a gan- der at these Junior High lads who won five out of eight games this year. Sixty boys reported to the first call giving Coach Barn- hart a hard time cutting the squad to eight- een. They defeated Caldwell and Winfield twice, but came out with a win and a loss from Ark City. The boys played their best game with Newton who beat them twice. Members of the squad pictured above are Richard Arnspiger, Don Arnett, Arch VVallace, Franklin Hamilton, Jerry Waugh, Bill Rissell, and Richard Mansfield in the back row, Frankie Thomas, Carol Carter, Fred Knorp, Tom Merryman, Harold How- ard, Virgil Kemp, Barton Morris and Coach Barnhartg in front are Jack Seal, John Moore, Burdette Carson, Pete Jordan.

REMEMBER SHOCKER STADIUM Eight thousand fans still trembling from the brilliant last quarter comeback staged by the fighting Crusaders in a vain attempt to hold the Valley Crown, watched Doug Bro-wn take Denny's kick and race 81 yards for the winning touchdown. Inter- mingled were the screams of rabid Redskins and groans of the Crusader backers. Trailing by two touchdowns, the Cru- saders unleashed an electrifying attack, completing a touchdown pass to make the score 19 to 13. A minute later Cleveland smothered North's quick kick and the Crimson recovered on the 85 yard line. Six points behind, last down, and seven yards to go for the tying score Palmer skirted left end to meet many overjoyed Welling- tonians in the end zone. And then it happened, Brown's run. 4.5 But what a game it was! RIGHT 1. The pause 2. A pause 3. Huddlers 4. Victory smile???? 5. Oomph Suran 6. Chuck poses 7. Second string 8. Reserved seats LEFT 1.
