Music in The Air The symphony orchestra directed by Earl Dungan again upheld its reputation this year in concert and contest. Members of the orchestra spend many extra hours in sectional rehearsal to keep up the high standards which previous Winfield High orches- tras have set up. Winfield music again received national recognition when Eugene Yoder, first trumpeter. was invited to New York to spend a Week-Rnd with Musicl' and was interviewed by Deems Taylor on CBS.

The choir composed of 117 members meets to practice under the capable leadership of Mrs. Foster Newland. Members of the chorus are always willing to help in the various programs. The chorus presented the Christmas program, various assemblies, a Thanksgiving program for the Chamber of Commerce and assisted at the band concert.

L Viking gridsters under the direction of Merle McCoy and his assistants, B. M. Staerkel and Bill Medley, enjoyed a successful season for the first time in five years. The blue and white clad gridsters tipped the scales in favor of victory by winning five of their nine contests. The season started with a smashing 26 to 6 verdict over Anthony, a non-league opponent. This was followed by a 27 to 7 reversal at the hands of North Redskins going on to win the Ark Valley Championship. The locals then proceeded to trounce Hutchinson 14 to 7 and overwhelm El Dorado by a 25 to 0 count. Another non-league opponent, Augusta, was disposed of by a 26 to 12 score in a downpour of rain. The string of victories was broken by an underdog Arkansas City eleven which built up a 13 to 0 lead in the first half, and then hung on as the Vikings pushed them all over the field in the second half. The final score was Arkansas City 13, Winfield 7. But ill luck was to dog the Vikings for another week. With four minutes left to play the locals were leading Wichita East 13 to 6, and even the most cautious Winfield rooters were beginning to grow confident. Then disaster struck. A quick touchdown by the Aces and amiss- ed conversion made it 13 to 12 with two minutes remaining. A disastrous penalty, a quick safety, and an intercepted pass- all occurring in those last two minutes added up to a 20 to 13 victory for East over a stunned Winfield team. The coronation of Queen Darlene Heffron saw a rebounding Viking team explode to a 41 to 0 win over Newton. In the last game of the season the locals outdowned and outgained Wellington on a muddy field, but a long touchdown pass gave the Crusaders a 7 to 0 victory. Don Allison was accorded All Ark Valley and state honors and was elected co-captain of the Winfield team along with Jim Ross.

Winfield high school cagers of 1948-49 after a slow start wound up in third place in the Ark Valley and followed this by win- ning the regional championship held here in March. Supporting a record of nine wins in 14 outings in the circuit, the Vikings finished after the 1-2 ranking teams in the state, New- ton and East. An overall win-loss record of 13 and seven was turned in by the locals. Coach Ollie Thomas's crew opened the campaign with a resounding triumph over non-member Planeview on the strength of good shooting. Hutchinson edged the Blue and White and a week later, East defeated Winfield in Valley play before the Vikings finally found the range. Hutch succumbed in the second round of the double round-robin, but East continued to hold a jinx to end a six-game winning streak on the part of the locals. Arkansas City, El Dorado, and North all bowed twice to the Norsemen. The Vikings split a pair with champion Newton and with Wellington, third-place finishers in the state tournament. Newton's loss was the high- light of the year. The locals bumped the Crusaders in two of four clashes. In the Wellington Invitational tourney, Winfield clipped St. Joseph's Cadets of Hays in the opening round but lost in the finals to the host team in a thriller. But the Vikings gained revenge in the regionals by outlasting the Sumner county crew in the finals. After holding what appeared a commanding second-half lead in the state tournament at Emporia, the Vikings were victimized by a brilliant last-minute eight-point rally by Wyandotte and the Kansas City outfit won. In the last three minutes of the game Winfield failed to hold the Kansas Cityans. Joe Condit, senior center and All Ark Valley star, was captain of the 1948-49 aggregation. 1- km gk lax ?

They were Richard Vaughn, Irvin Harris, Jim Carson, Robert Harris, Robert Hovey, Jim Ross, and Wayne Asbury. At the State the team finished fifth with 16 points and Jim Carson returned as State champion while Jim Ross and Irvin Harris placed second. This was the first time a Winfield mat- man was state champion. Four men sponsored by the Kiwanis and Rotary club attend- ed the Missouri Valley AAU wrestling tournament at Manhattan. Jim Carson and John Backus were first place winners with Wayne Asbury, second: and James Eastman, fourth. Jim Carson and John Backus took part in the National AAU tournament at Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Cathedral of Wichita also succumbed on the field to a tune of 70 to 60. In a triangular meet at Ark City the Vikings finished third behind the host team and the Chilocco Indians. Hutchinson relays saw the fleetmen pick up five points which placed them in seventh slot. Norman Albright came in third in the 100-yard dash while Hugh Schantz galloped to fourth in the half mile. In the Ark Valley meet the Vikings tallied seven points by virtue of first place in the broad jump won by Ronald Stump and fourth place in the shot-put for Duane Wood. Out of the five men who qualified for the regionals, yet to be held at press time, there was only one senior, Norman Al- bright. Others qualifying were Don Fogarty, Duane Wood, Hugh Schantz, and Ronald Stump, all juniors.
