We’re the first ones that have won The right to pass from Unit One. And so like those in the gold rush days, We know the world very seldom pays Unless you sweat, and toil and till, But we hope “there’s gold in that there hill.” And though we are the first to go, We hope that those who follow, Will find inspiration, work and fun In Community Unit, District One. J. H. DUNSCOMB DEDICATION This 1949 Pow-Wow is respectfully dedicated to our retiring principal, Mr. J. H. Dunscomb, who through his years of faithful teaching and careful counseling has shown us an example of the real pioneer spirit. We wish him every success in following his trail of happiness. THE WARDEN AND HIS GUARDS Joby is our Warden Who is known far and wide, Stone-heart Curry is the guard, Who keeps his rifle by his side, Long John Walker cleans the cells And dusts the black board slate, While Jimmy Shafer drives a bus And is the keeper of the gate, Westrup preaches up and down Your speech must be correct, And McPheron tells her convicts That they have to sit erect. Mrs. Norman teaches typing While her husband does the drawing, And old Man Harms, the scientist Gives his cons a proper mauling, And then you see old farmer Martz A standing out in front Beside him is a little con Whose best pig is a runt. Mrs. Triffet teaches all the math Mrs. Dunscomb all the Latin, Miss Hammer in the sewing room Shows her class a piece of satin, Mr. Begeman teaches chorus And he also teaches band, Only if he would, he could Teach in any other land, Thus our little poem is ended, Throughout the prison walls And I hope the day will never come, That this grand old building falls.

Don E cJouarcLs Charles Larreuj ’Vivian (a. . SENIOR PROPHECY Hero is the romance of a group of '49ers who had banded together for four years and on May 27. 1949 found themselves free to stake their claims in the world of tomorrow. Unlike the early ’49ers traveling in covered wagons, fighting Indians and thirsting on the desert the new ’49ers had struck it rich in an age characterized by atomic power, jet planes and world travel. Dominated by the same courageous spirit as the gold rush pioneers, our prospectors set out eagerly to find their respective gold mines. Ten years later we find that this group of twenty-five has panned the stream of opportunities and has found nuggets in different parts of the country. During this time, too, our retired principal, Mr. J. H. Dunscomb, has become an extensive traveler. Let us now go with him as he follows the trail his ’49ers have blazed. Before starting on his trip in 1959 Mr. Dunscomb visited again his Alma Mater. There he found that several of his last graduating class were on the present faculty. After the resignation of Mrs. Gwendolyn Hammer Walters, Flora Mae Mayer was filling the vacancy. Remembering how with a gleam in her eye, Flora used to tease Miss Hammer about Bill we suspected she would prepare herself for the local home economics position. Fortunately on the evening of his visit the final game in the Shelby County Tournament was being played at Windsor. Coach Carter’s quintet of six foot players easily edged out the competing teams and smiling “Brother” accepted the trophy for the school. Mr. Curry, the former coach, who was also among the spectators, seemed very proud of his one-time most outstanding basketball player. As the crowd of fans moved out of the gymnasium Mr. Dunscomb hesitated for a few moments to get another glimpse of the new plastic floor. Then looking up, he spotted a familiar face and knew it to be that of Vivian Kull Moffett. Accompanying Mrs. Moffett were her husband and three little towheads. Vivian explained that she was a very happy housewife and her husband had a good position in Mattoon. While Mr. Dunscomb was talking to the former class president of the ’49ers, who but Iris Hunt Schlechte should come up to greet him. Mrs. Schlechte said that after completing a course in nurse's training, she decided the gold mine of her ambition would be realized in matrimony and life on a farm near Strasburg. Iris and Howard, a former basketball star, are retaining their interest in the game, for they already have two boys that will grow up to be on the local team. Much inspired by the accomplishments these four prospectors had shown in the home town area, Mr. Dunscomb resolved to hit the trail Westward to discover the locations of some of the other ’49ers. His route took him first to St. Louis where he wished to call upon his son and family. Desiring especially to see his grandson of kindergarten age, Mr. Dunscomb visited the “Cox Nursery School.” Here he was very pleased to meet the supervisor, Bertha Cox, and to be conducted on a tour through the school. Bertha had always been fond of children and seemed quite happy in her occupation. As the conversation with Bertha ensued, Mr. Dunscomb learned that it would be possible to include Lorene Schultz in his '59 tour. Knowing her fondness for Wieners, he was not amazed to find that she was a proprietoress of a “Barbecued Wiener” establishment in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The distance between St. Louis and Cheyenne became less in Mr. Dunscomb’s mind as he thought of those juicy, tantalizing Wieners he would taste as he paused in his trail ride. While our hungry traveler was enjoying his special double order, Lorene remarked that oftentimes others in the original '49 group had stopped to patronize her business.

Wayer f )arjorte. f ) -Queeo Far ham floffet! !(a ryr Richards SENIOR PROPHECY Hitting the road again and crossing over the Rocky Mountains, Mr. Dunscomb dreams of San Francisco as the city of entertainment. For several moments he browsed through the folder “What to See in San Francisco” and became confused by all the attractions until his eye fell on “Dance With J. C. and his Sambaba-deers.” Vaguely encouraged by the fact that this J. C. might be Carlton who had always wanted to be a band leader, he dined at the hotel where the orchestra was engaged. Surrounded by the elegance of the Ritz Royal Hotel, Mr. Dunscomb was pleased with the delicious food and charmed by the soft music. It was not, however, until the orchestra leader turned and began singing that he was assured of its being our J. C. Carlton hadn't lost any of his swooning power, for he had become a second Sinatra. Mr. Dunscomb chatted briefly with Carlton and learned that two belles of the '49 gold rush days “Rosie” and “Blondie” had located in southern California. In Hollywood the motion picture industry proved most enlightening to him. Of special interest, too, was the make-up department for he noticed that Rosella Camic was in charge of the red-headed division. It did not seem unusual to find her as a beauty counselor, because Rosella was very typical of her type, a real Vivian Blaine. Taking up Rosie’s suggestion that he spend the afternoon at the beach where a beauty contest was being held, Mr. Dunscomb patiently strolled up and down the sand, jingling his keys and waited for the hour of the contest. As the girls walked by the reviewers he thought he recognized a striking blond. When the judges selected the final winner, he was delighted to hear Barbara Moffett’s name called and to see her receive the trophy. Mr. Dunscomb as well as several movie talent scouts offered Barbara congratulations and success in her chosen field, modeling. Having thus uncovered more of the gold panners, Mr. Dunscomb realized that not all of his group had been attracted by the Westward movement, hence he turned his trail toward home. As he rode across the plains of Texas, he read a unique sign advertising “Moores’ Dude Ranch.” This sounded like an inviting place to get a few days rest, so he spurred his attention in the direction of the sign. Met by the owner of the ranch and later introduced to his wife, Mr. Dunscomb was happy to greet the former Kathryn Richards. After enjoying life on a guest ranch, our traveler moved on toward New Orleans. Here the Marde Gras was in full celebration and here, too, were many historical sights of French and Spanish atmosphere. Enjoying the festivity of the occasion, but feeling that he should include something of a more serious nature, he stopped at one of the famous historical museums. Mr. Dunscomb was delighted to be conducted personally through the museum by Marjorie McQueen, a ’49er who had always shown a real interest in history. Leaving New Orleans, our gold spotter, moved on to sunny Florida and intended to spend a few days in Miami. As he walked along Broadway one night he noticed the brilliant lights of a very elite club. The name of the club, “the Golden Nugget,” caught his eye as it reminded him of his gold rush class. Becoming more interested, he looked closer and found the proprietors to be Edwin Welch and Donald Edwards. He chuckled as he recalled their motto, “Wine, women and Song.” On passing through the wagon wheel door he met the two old-timers, Bud and Doc. After exchanging conversation about former classmates, Mr. Dunscomb set out on the trail which would now lead him to Washington, D. C.

In the Archives’ Building he found Betty Whitlatch, a champion typist. As a result of her striking the keys of speed and efficiency in typing, Betty was now assuming a very responsible position. After explaining the duties connected with her work, Betty said that Beulah Williamson also had a very fine secretarial position in the Pentagon Building. Pondering over this interest in the Marines, Mr. Dunscomb followed a guide to the building where Beulah was employed. On locating her he discovered a dual feature; Beulah was secretary as well as wife to a Marine officer named Earl. Still searching for others of the ’49 band Mr. Dunscomb moved on to New York City. Haying never seen Madison Square Garden, he thought this would be an excellent time to do so as Joe Tipton was contending for the heavy weight Championship. How well he recalled Joe’s quick, agile manner in his school days’ practice! In the first few seconds of the third round of competition Mr. Dunscomb saw Joe strike his claim to the title of 1959 World’s Championship. On the scene also to congratulate Joe was a prominent newspaper editor. It took Mr. Dunscomb only a few minutes to recognize Jack Baker as he was preparing to get a front page write-up for his old friend. Jack, who had started his career of news writing in his high school days, panned the staff of the New York Times until he became its editor. Much pleased with the last prospectors Mr. Dunscomb directed his route toward Chicago where he was to find another of his ’49ers interested in communications. Needing to send a telegram, Mr. Dunscomb thought how coincidental it would be to meet Lawrence Swinford in the Western Union Office of the Union Station. Just that very thing happened for Lawrence, an amateur telegrapher back in 1949, stepped forward and very capably handled the sending of his message. Lawrence said that a few moments ago he had talked to another adventurer of his class, Bob Sims. The navy had captured Bob’s claim in life and had offered him many exciting ventures. In the Service Men’s Lounge Mr. Dunscomb found Bob half asleep over a letter he was writing to his girl friend in Charleston. Once at attention Bob presented a very snappy appearance in his Navy uniform and confirmed Mr. Dunscomb that the sea held a golden treasure for him. About ready to accept Bob’s invitation to review the Great Lakes Naval training headquarters, Mr. Dunscomb was distracted by an air line hostess convincing him to take a trip on T. H. A. lines. Of course the hostess was Carolan Doty and the liner was owned and operated by Tommy Ilennigh. By this time Mr. Dunscomb was tired of various methods of transportation, so he accepted Cardan’s special offer to fly him to Detroit where he planned to buy a new car. Marveling at such progress in science and speed. Mr. Dunscomb soon found himself gliding into the heart of the automobile world. In Detroit arrangements were made to meet the manager of the Buick sales department. The head sales-ma_n, Chester Stilabower, smoothly and cleverly persuaded our weary traveler that a ’59 Buick would provide him with the most comfortable homeward trip. Following a demonstration that was as effective as the stunts Chet used to perform as cheerleader, Mr. Dunscomb purchased the ultra modern vehicle and proceeded toward Windsor. Cruising along the four lane highway in his new Buick, Mr. Dunscomb thought of other spirited ’49ers who had claimed their gold mines in Illinois. There was one girl who had exhibited unusual skill in sports, and she no doubt had done well in her chosen career. Yes, Vera Arganbright, now an instructor of physical education at Normal University had been very successful in her profession. On the evening of his visit Mr. Dunscomb saw Vera’s all star girls’ soft ball team sling out their opponent to a 20-0 victory. SENIOR PROPHECY As Mr. Dunscomb was completing the final lap of his search for ’49ers, he realized that there were three boys who had preferred to find gold in the fertile home soil. Leisurely driving along the country roads of Shelby County and enjoying the prospective looking community, Mr. Dunscomb suddenly caught sight of what appeared to be a jeep carrying two fellows flash by him. The jeep pulled to a stop about a quarter of a mile down the road, for the two had recognized the driver of the Buick and thought they had better explain the situation. Charles Larrew, the speed demon at the wheel, said that he was wasting no time in getting Dale Young to the assistance of his sick cow. Dale, however, didn’t appear as calm about the ride, for he was still clutching the handle of his black valise as he shook hands with Mr. Dunscomb. Following the boys to Charles’ farm, Jobe thought of the interest they had taken in agriculture. While Dale, now a veternarian and practicising locally, treated the sick animal, Charles taked with much pride about his farming program. Later going with Dale to his dairy farm, Mr. Dunscomb saw another good example of a successful farmer. Dale who had received many F. F. A. honors for his prize Brown Swiss cattle was still a winner in this breed of livestock. In addition to an excellent herd of cattle in Dale’s good mine, Mr. Dunscomb found his wife, Emily and a prosperous looking farm. A neighboring wheat field caught our wanderer’s attention and Dale remarked that it belonged to his old bachelor friend, Lee Curtis. Leaving Dale and driving past the grain field. Mr. Dunscomb stopped by the road to talk with Lee, who was harvesting his golden crop. Lee recounted that his training in agriculture and even the short course in home economics had prepared him for his prospcting, which included a large farm and single blessedness. At home now in his comfortable chair our experienced traveler has time to meditate over the events of his '49ers trail. As an assayer of the success of his last prospectors, Mr. Dunscomb found that each had only struck a bonanza, but had also taken the ore of opportunities and coined it for future gold seekers.

The occasion was the annual Junior-Senior Banquet and dance, the social event of the high school year. The theme was Southern Colonial and everything from food to decorations and waitresses made the guests feel they were being entertained at a huge southern plantation. The members of the Junior and Senior classes, the board members and their wives, and the faculty, with their wives or husbands, were seated at five large tabels. At each place was a program with a southern girl on the cover wearing a full colonial dress, each dress being of different color and made of crepe paper and paper lace. The place cards were black walnuts painted to resemble a negro mammy. A red bandanna covered the head. The following menu was served by the girls of the Sophomore Home Economics class, dressed in long hoop skirts and appropriate hair styles to complete a pleasing picture of southern hospitality and beauty.

Let’s thank Carolan Doty, Jo Ann Dickinson, Patty Doty, and Shirley Finley for their fine work. Several exhibitions were given between halves at the basket ball games. D. A. R. The girl chosen for the D. A. R. medal award this year was Beulah Ruth Williamson. Beulah Ruth has been very active in her school work and is an honor student. She is President of the F. H. A. and belongs to the chorus. She and Miss Hammer attended the meeting at Shelbyville honoring the Shelby County award receivers. CHEERLEADERS The cheerleaders of Windsor High School were chosen in October. There were several that tried out for positions on the squad. The student body chose six, Carolan Doty, Ella Mae Kercheval, Chester Stilabower, Joy Hennigh, Jean Carr, and Bob Jetto. Acrobatics were introduced this year and the people liked it. Mrs. Duns-comb coached the cheerleaders. NEWS IN THE GAZETTE The news in the Gazette is one thing that can not be left out of the school activities. Some of us wonder how news travels so fast. Somehow Jack seemed to be in all the right spots (or was it the wrong ones) at the right time. In case of someone wanting to know who “Slim” was, it was Jack Baker.

Editors FORTY-NINERS STRIKE GOLD! DISHPAN HANDS? Are you troubled with dishpan hands? Does constant toil in the dishpan leave your hands red and rough? If you do have such an affliction, don’t give up hope for Mr. L. R. Carter, through his long hours of experience along these lines of housework drudgery, has made great advances in the overcoming of the housewife’s worst problem. For a very short time Mr. Carter is offering practically as a gift his secret to lovely hands. Mr. Carter has some interesting words for us and we quote “I have made my discovery by means of many long hours in the dishpan and have found my method to be fool-proof and in ten short days I can give you those “Lilly White,” “Feather Light” hands that women rave about.” For additional information and proof write to Miss Jo Ann Dickinson of Windsor, Illinois, who is a confirmed user of Mr. Carter’s miraculous washing discovery. CARMAN COMPARES When B. I. Carman, handsome Junior, went to the state tournament, he seemed to have only one purpose in mind, and that was to watch the female cheerleaders. He watched them, we are told, and some may question whether he knew who won the championship. But B. I. did come back to Windsor convinced that no cheerleader in the state could come up to the red headed cheerleader in the Windsor group. Isn’t love grand? MYSTERIES Does Hammer still take piano lessons? Who saw K. Richards bid her boy friend goodbye in the school yard early one morning last fall? Why does Westrup plan to go to California this summer? Can it really be a business trip? Does Bobby Cecil still need a car and a ten dollar bill to give Jim Kays competition? What was the mistake that Bob Caspary made early this spring? Is Dale Young really in love? Who is it that Eugene Zimmer looks at in 6th hour library? Who does Paul Swinford think is sweet and who is the apple of his Iris? What initials does Sleep Wittenberg print under his ring—J. H. or J. B.? Why did Lee Curtis shave off his moustache? What happened to B. Q. and E. M.? Why did Billy Joe give up on Shirley Finley? Who is Alma Cress’ heartthrob? Why did Jetto get his burr-head? Who scr a t c h e d Dick Blackburn’s nose? B. Q. to E. M. Before I heard the doctor tell The danger of a kiss I had considered kissing you The nearest thing to bliss. But now I know biology And sit and sigh and moan; Six million mad bacteria, And I thought we were alone. The 49’ers struck gold! Twenty-five of them reached the promised land May 27 and found gold (diplomas). Four years ago 32 began the westward trip bqt the trip was too strenuous for seven of the number. It was a hard and perilous journey fraught with any dangers but filled with lots of fun. Don Edwards, Carter, Welch and Baker played along the way with a round ball which they tried to throw through a hoop. Carolan Doty and Chet Stilabower cheered them along and even turned cartwheels and jumped up and down with enthusiasm. Ed Welch finished the final lap with a brand new covered wagon which was light gray in color. Some of the girls wanted to ride with him while others preferred the old Conestogas. Iris Hunt ran across another outfit and almost stayed in a little village of Strasburg but she was prevailed to finish the journey. Her big problem was “How?” Baker was thrown off some sort of a wild animal he tried to ride. It was a powerful steed with horns that turned backward. He was delayed a week but caught up with the wagon train only to be delayed again in the town of Decatur. He was standing in an alley with his hands in his pockets when something hit him. He was able to get up, with help, and finished the remainder of the journey without mishap. Moffett almost went South in Mattoon but didn’t. Curtis forgot his razor (Continued Next Page) THE CYCLONE ____BLOWS EVERYWHERE____ Volume 4 Windy Williamson and Breezy Smith. Editors and his moustache frightened the girls in the group. Smith entertained with music from a curved pipelike instrument. He wanted to stay up all night and sleep all the next day. Tip-ton ran out of tobacco and had to use dried leaves and old buggy whips. Swinford, whom everyone thought was too young to make the trip, matured and is now one of the boys. Vivian Kull has kept in close touch with the folks at home and is looking forward to a happy reunion with the Moffett family. Camic may stay and jerk sodas unless some “jerk” comes along to her liking. Williamson is undecided about the future. Chicago seems, to be calling but it really depends upon the action of the Marine Corps. Kathryn has been lonesome during the final stages of the trip and Arganbright, Mayer and Me Queen have been quiet associates. Shorty Larrew expects to grow up now that gold has been found. Dale Young will return to his first love but no one knows whether it is his Brown Swiss or the girl at the burg. Schultz and Whit-latch have made great plans for the future but they won’t tell. Peanuts Sims caught up with our wagon train and got in on the discovery. He says he likes girls “Young.” And so ends the story of this adventurous group of 49’ers. SMITH SLEEPS J.

NEED MORE CRUSHED ROCK OR HOW TO ATTRACT ATTENTION More crushed rock is needed on the school parking lot. It seems that much of the rock was lost while the two student teachers from Millikin were here for each morning when they would come to school one boy driving a . . car would pass them just as they arrived at school. He would cut several circles in the parking lot and most of the rock was thrown over into the Wabash right-of-way. They immediately inquired as to the boy’s name. The initial of his last name follows the initial of his first name, alpha b e t i c a 11 y. Misses Brown and Mar-quardt said there were no boys in Decatur that could turn so sharply as this boy did. Nice going....... INSPIRATION It was semester examination and Sleep Wittenberg was having a terrible time with his geometry final. He just couldn't see the figure he needed to work the problem. He finally lifted his eyes and there at the next table sat a girl. As he looked at her he became inspired for there were all of the angles, the curves and lines that he needed. The problem was easy, thanks to that Junior girl who provided the inspiration. Her name is (well, you will have to ask Sleep.) Problem for Mathematicians One and one are two But if one and one should marry How come’s in a year or so There’s two and one to carry? It Happened Here Holding a girl’s hand in a movie is a harmless but thrilling pastime. On March 12 Tom Hennigh sat in a Mattoon theatre and enjoyed this experience. Harmless and thrilling, to be sure, but this little show of affection carried a knockout blow. Two weeks later Tom broke out with the measles. That little hand that he caressed so tenderly was broken out—so Cardan revealed to this reporter. And boys and girls, the moral to this little story is: Come measles or even small pox, never pass up the opportunity to hold your girl’s hand. It’s worth it—says Tom.

The first step is to get yourself a squirt-gun—the administration likes to see students take an interest in something. II. Now that you are a senior, you are better than anyone else. Show it by: a. Getting away with all of the chemistry equipment possible. b. Doing your best to improve the running of all your classes. Start by putting the teacher in his or her place. c. Sending innocent sophs through the bottleneck ahead of you to pave the way (with blood). d. Finding out how many things you can write in any one book that are witty- e. Keeping a record for each week of how many rules you have broken. III. Borrow cars without the owners’ knowledge. IV. Have your father do your homework — teachers love to read eassays on his love-life. V. Never give a teacher a bite of that candy you naturally eat in class. VI. Be perfectly frank with teachers as to what you think of them. VII. Make just as much work for the janitors as possible—after all, maybe they can do something for you. VIII. Be the life of all parties. This is accomplished by setting table cloths on fire, transporting mice, and other of your intimate acquaintances, on your person; putting the ice from your coke down someone’s back, bringing your own peanut-brittle, or other hard candy; and, finally, reading up on all jokes available and using same whenever an opening presents itself. IX. Last but not least, sink all cash possible into pins, rings, etc., which you will promptly distribute liberally among members of the opposite sex. This system, I am certain, will enable you to graduate (that is if your beard does not interfere with recitation).

A Big Mistake Not a care in the world Just a hole in the head, I woke up one morning And thought I was dead, All stuffed in a casket To the morgue I was sent, Then I soon found myself. Under a burial tent, They lowered the casket Way down in the ground, Then shoveled on dirt To be packed all around, My mouth I soon found Was the hole in my head, And them morons up there All thought I was dead.

A Trip To Remember I woke up in the morning From a peaceful night of sleep, The day was bright and cheery But the snow was fairly deep, I grabbed my clothes and put them on And down the stairs I flew, I'd washed a bit and combed my hair Before I hardly knew, I ate my breakfast with a rush And off to school on high, When down around the first sharp turn I saw the building drawing nigh, I reached the door and gave a tug, And then to my dismay, Oh woe is me I knew right then Today is Saturday. By C. S. I Like Boys I like boys, they wear plaid coats, And striped socks and shoes like boats. They like their slacks with two rete-pleats, And their socks and pants refuse to meet. I like a brunette, but a blonde will do, You can’t be particular with but a few. I like a man with lots of wit, Also a man who’s physically fit. Since men in service are still quite few. Either the army or navy will do. But I’d rather have a man at home. So he can carry my lipstick and comb. Now don't get me wrong, just any won’t do. My first choices of men are just a few, And when all the girls with choosing are through, Any man that's breathing for me, will do. —Elaine M.

AND LETTER MEN Mr. Curry Russ” Through his leadership and skill the boys finished the season with a fine record ox 21 wins and 1 defeats. We wish him good luck with his team next year. Bobby Minor “Bob” Bob is a Junior and Manager of our team this year. He kept the boys in good spirits throughout the year. Don Edwards “Doc” Don a Senior guard has made the going rough for his opponents. Don played his best game against T-Town, coming up with twenty-two points. Edwin Welch “Bud” A stocky built Senior forward who this year exhibited his ability for rebounding. He helped pull our team through many games. Jack Baker “Bake” A Senior center, who is quick on his feet for rebounding, displayed some excellent basket ball this year. Lawrence Carter “Brud” A Senior forward and our high point man for the season. He has played many good games for W. C. H. S. and will be greatly missed next year. James Carman “B. I.” A Junior center who dropped so many of those thrilling upsy daisy shots. He is an encouraging prospect for next year’s team. Thomas Hennigh T. D.” A Junior who subed for the first team and scored many points. He is expected to be another good player for the 1949-50 team. Bob Quigley “Traggle” A Sophomore who showed his ability to shoot and pass this year. He will be a great help to Coach Curry’s team next year. Ralph Elliott “Deacon” A Sophomore, little but mighty, who helped our first team out in a lot of games. He also will be great material for the coming year. BASEBALL 1948-49 This was our first year for baseball. In the fall we played four games, all with Strasburg. We each won two games. The spring schedule is incomplete but several games will be played. LAWRENCE CARTER NAMED COUNTY'S NO. 1 PLAYER Coaches Choose Windsor Cager In First Poll Lawrence “Brother” Carter, Windsor’s high-scoring forward has been selected by the coaches of the county—an exacting jury if there ever was one—as the outstanding Shelby basket ball player of 1948-49. He will be honored with the first annual Democrat-News “outstanding player” award, which will be presented permanently to Windsor high school for its already crowded trophy cases. Received 33 out of a possible 40 points in the balloting, Carter outranked a Windsor team-mate, Don Edwards, by eight points. Carter received four first-place ballots and Edwards three out of the eight which were cast. Carter and Edwards ran away with the balloting, but the coaches did not overlook other outstanding players in the county the past season. Joe Lucas of Findlay and John Dale Webner of Strasburg received 13 points, and Bob Phillips of Cowden 10. SPORTS Other players receiving votes were Stan Strain, Herrick; Bob Quigley, Windsor; Wilson Darnell, Findlay; Ralph Beals, Stewardson; Dwight Wooters, Moweaqua; and Howard Schlechte of Strasburg. The play of both Carter and Edwards this season has been typical of the explosive offensive that enabled Windsor to win 21 games while losing only 7. In 28 games, Carter scored 158 field goals and 94 free throws—a total of 410 points. That’s a season average of 14.6 per games. Edwards has scored 85 baskets and 62 free throws, a total of 232 points. Carter was high scorer in the county tournament in which Windsor won its second straight Shelby title. He dropped in 49 points, an average of 16.3 per game. In the 1948 tourney, he was only one point behind Lee Slater, also of Windsor, with 47. Carter’s big nights this season have been against Strasburg 23 points; Moweaqua, 24; Bement, 21; Bethany, 25; and Stewardson, 22. Highlights of Windsor’s season included two victories over Sullivan; a 58 to 36 shellacking of Pana; third place in the Niantic tournament; and a one-point loss to Monticello. The records show that Carter failed to break into the scoring column as a freshman; and that he tallied 41 points as a sophomore. His junior year he moved up to a starting berth, netting 278 points. His four year total is 729. Carter stands something under 5 feet 10 inches tall, but is fast, accurate with his flat one-handed shots, and an exceptional ball handler on quick shots breaking under the basket.
