RANGERS As we were leaving the school, with diplomas in hand, the heel of my sling pump accidentally touched a blade of grass and we were suddenly surrounded by—guess who? The Rangers! “All right, five hours!!!!” I had met them before: One sunny lunch hour, weary from strolling, I yawned and my hand chanced to touch a leaf of one of the trees in our wild-life preserve. A limb reached out and grabbed my neck and what would it be—guess who? A camouflaged Ranger. With a sharp finger in my eye and a high-pit hed voice, he was screaming, “All right, that’s 17 hours.” One dark night coming home from a late show, we swerved ACT H. SCENE I to miss three camels resting in front of the school. Our luck, a tread of our tire slightly rolled over a beloved cinder and right again—A troop of Rangers and their leader yelling. “We’ve just been waiting for some victim to make up time.” They gave us life imprisonment! Of course, in our better moments, we know that the Rangers have a job to do and they carry it out well. They have a fine organization and help to keep our school grounds beautiful. They are organized as follows: JUDGES: Allen Miller, Charles Overbeck. FILE TENDERS: Ellen Riise. Caroline Cristine. RANGER CAPTAINS: Rosemary Kolvek, Allen Miller, Jerry O'Neill, Patsy Lustgarten. This year’s track squad did not win many meets, but the experience gained, coupled with the added maturity of a year’s growth, should prove enough to make Wirt look forward to one of its finest seasons in track in 194H. Our new track is a large improvement over what the teams of the past have trained on. If we can keep the seniors of next year interested in track, it will impove our chances of winning our share of meets 'This year’s schedule was high-lighted by the fact that we placed in every major meet we entered. R. Ballard, running a 23.5-second 220-yard dash, and John Manor, throwing the shotput 44 feet, 2x i in hes, were the record breakers this year. R. Ballard also managed to tie the school record for the pole vault. Out of the foliowign boys the major and minor letter winners will be selected: R. Ballard. T. Ballard, Eichhorn, Sollors. Brownawell, Weaver, Scheck, Beres, McGrew, Collier, Pinkerton, R. Whited, Manor, Hargis. Hady. Newton, Teegarden, and Rebeck. These boys were augmented by a promising group of freshmen. (Mention should be made here, also, of the fact that Jim Whited, eighth grader, will be one to watch in future years—he broke the school record for the 660-yard dash, doing it in 2 minutes, 4 seconds.)

For when the one great Scorer conies to write against your name He marks-not that you won or lost—but how yon played the game. —Grant I and Rice VARSITY Our boys in the ’46-’47 season won seven games and lost fourteen. In home games they took six out of eight. There were many high spots in this season of 1947: for example, the upset victories over Portage and Lowell. But the outstanding game was probably the one in which we posted a 58 to 56 victory over Lowell, with Captain Lad Quigley scoring the winning basket. An unusual thing happened at Hobart, too, when we had our game called on account of darkness, so that the game had to be finished at a later date. Newton and Hauser, our forwards, did most of the scoring, with Tucker, Ballard and Vasusky rounding out the first five. The bench consisted of Quigley, Lovkhart, Brownawell. Jabo and Eichhorn. Coach Hatrak toop up where Mr. Manning left off, in mid season. Although we didn’t take the sectionals in 1947, no doubt we will in the future. RESERVES The junior Troopers did well in winning ten games and losing seven. There were many tight and hard-fought games, so next year you can look forward to some fine playing from this outfit. The first five was made up of Rogers, Manor, T. Ballard, Sheck and Beres, with substitutes in Kolvek, Marposon, Kerzman, Smith, Hunt and Hady. The picture at right includes a drawing of our new score board that arrived last fall. It was given to the school by the class of 43. FRESHMEN The freshmen have a nice ball club composed of Pete and Paul Hook, DLk Allen. Floyd Spurlock, and Bill Eichhorn, who made up the first five, with Wcstergren, Woodruff, Hopkins, Overbeck, Young-heim, Reid and Weaver rounding out the bench. The freshmen’s best game was the one with Wallace, in which they scored a 35 to 27 victory. Look for a good reserve team next year. Page Twenty-two 8th GRADE They have a small team and it is only natural that they lack experience, but in the future they should round into form. JINGLE BY JABO The game of basketball is realty fast To see how long five men ean last They trip. push, and at each other they shout And before the Second Quarter they all foul out.
