il I il kk Faculty Guardians over 850 lively and sometimes studious students are the faculty of twenty-nine teach- ers and two secretaries. For them, this has been a shifty year. When P. A. Keller was inducted into the Army, Fiske Mountain was selected to replace him as band director. Mrs. Harold Rein- ecker filled the position vacated bv Miss Ruby Mider as sophomore English teacher. Because of the illness of Miss Betty Crawford, first Miss Bertha Bitner, then, Mrs. Marjorie Newberry became regular teachers. Miss Sadie Hall came to high school from the grades as librarian. Two new men teachers were R. E. Buchanan, who teaches biol- ogy, and Artie Hall, football coach and woodwork teacher. The new foods teacher was Miss Irene Riggs. Miss Ann Holman and Miss Lanore Newton, together, had two of the largest problems of the school-200 wiggly seventh and eighth graders' in social sci- ence and English. Teacher of vo- cal music is Miss Lucy Carpenter. Stand-bye from previous years are Misses Erma Foster, Bertha Clark, Lora Lynn, Eva Jacques, Wanda May Vinson, Jeanette Smith, Pauline Shockey, Jane Swartz, Isabel Mickey, Lela Cobb, and Eleanor Markley, Mrs, Christine Carter, Cade Suran, Leonard Devore, E. J. Schrag, and Clarence Oppy. Nurse Myrtle Glover took care of permits, all scratches and headaches. Prin- cipal E. Paul Lessig and Superin- tendent Claude Kissick turned professors of physics and chem- istry. Secretaries Loisl Covington and Tillie Cannon kept track of all official business. Mrs. Cade Suran and Mrs. E. J. Schrag were substitute teachers for junior high science. All in all, they are a capable group, and Wellington high has profited because they are the fac- ulty.

Touchdown Joes While Wfllingtoirs 1943 football squad did nOt bring the Ark Valley title home with them, they did play good football all season. The team played close games with the league leaders and furnished thrills at home for the spectators. When the new coach, Artie Hall if Protection, a-rrived to take over the Crusader football reins this year, only four returning lettermen were on hand to great him. This is in itself a tough assignment, for a new coach to start the old-est and toughest league in thc state with a green taam. However, what thes: four biys lacked in quantity, they made up in quality. Chuck O'N5al, one of the better ends in the valley last year, shifted. to the backfleld where he led the Crusader offense in every game. Bob McClure and Red Whiiley, veteran ends, were among the better ivinigmen in Conference play. JHil'Il:E.S Quillen, the other monogram winner, was an 'excellent ball handler and operated from fullback. Bad luck, bad weather, and bad breaks accom- panied the C'l'l1SHidrQIl'S all season. The first blow came in the closing three weeks of season practice when Virgil Kifimp, starting ivitingmen, suffered a broken leg in practice. That week the high flying Aces of Wichita East came to town and were lucky to -ske out a 6-0 victory over a gang of fighting Crusaders. The Crusaders, never -5-aunted, struck back in one brief bid for supremacy when they swamped a luckless Winfield eliven by a 58-12 score. Next the strong HLltClllllEl.ll Sclthawks invaded Wellington witn a light gricky team co-ached in the typical Neve sysfiin. The Rezi and White lost a heart breaking decision. Ncxt on the schedule were the Newton Rail- rc-adels wio charged O'!f'l' Welliiigiiiiiii 32-Cf for the werst boiling' the Crusadfrs have suffered since 1936. Thi Newton l,Qam outweighed the Crusaders 20 pounds 'to the man and since the game was playid in a driving rain, weight meant rno.e power to thi: R.:i.ilers. The following week a. non-league tilt with Ponca City, one of the be-st teams in re- cent years to be found in the Sooner state, downed a group of fighting C'l'l1Efi3id6l'S 20-7. The Sooners played a college brand of ball and were the best learn to play bcfoire local fans all year. Then came the game of the year, when the Ci usaders followed by hordes of fans stormed the Lalwuence stavfium in Wiichita to battle tioie Reti- sloins of Ntrtli. However, the more expeirienciiid team won the game, onli cf the hiairdeot fought in many years, by a 12-7 count. The victory came only after the gallant Crusaders had unleashed one of the nioist electrifying aerial attacks ever wiitness-ed in
