S. in the spring, they wonder how the jobs of school will be carried out after they are gone, However, as the juniors have been capable in taking over the school jobs in the past, we are sure this class will be as successful in their senior year. Some of the activities of the juniors are to choose their class rings in the fall, entertain the seniors at the Jr. -Sr. Prom, and attend the Junior banquet in the spring. When this Junior class started in the 7th grade as treetoads they were bashful little children. ln the 8th grade as puddle jumpers they were already starting to grow up. As freshmen in the 9th grade they were improving their minds in algebra. As sophomores as their first year in senior high, they got to sit in the balcony of the auditorium during assemblies. Now as Juniors they are looked up to by the under classmen and are approaching the maturity of a senior. Leading the Jr, class was John Fritzlen, President, Byron Jones, Vice President, and Eleanor Land, Secretary.

The Vikings defeated Columbus, Hutchinson, and Augusta, They lost to Ark City, Wichita North, Wellington, Wichita West, El Dorado, Wichita East, and Newton. At times throughout the season the Vikes showed signs of power, but when the chips were down they failed to get anything across. Joe Vann was assisted by Joe Thomton, Oliver Heibert, and D, R. Hankins manager, Some of the highlights of the '53 gridiron campaign were when Kenneth Faust intercepted a Wichita West pass on the Winfield five yard line and romped 95 yards for a touchdown. Russell Weldon on the first play from scrimmage against Wellington hit left tackle and galloped 45 yards for a Viking TD. Dick Powell went 55 yards for a touchdown against Wellington.

Oral Taylor is anoth- One of the fastest de- er of the lads who pro- gressed fast during the ast part of the season, and he rated as one of the top players on the squad during the final contests. Spud who dur- ing the season of 1952- 53 was a sizzling shot suddenly lost his eye and he played sparingly for the first part of t e season. But in the last few games he was counted on to play a clutch role and he did a stellar job. Taylor's best scoring effort for the season was a 13 point output against the Planeview Gremlins. ln playing his last season for Winfield he averaged around 4 points a game.

Above is Stanton O'Nei1, one of the juniors on the starting five for the Vikings this past season. Stanton is probably one of the most improved players over a year ago as the 6-3 center and forward placed third among Ark Valley scorers for the past campaign. O'Nei1 posted a. 14-plus mean for the valley games and owned a 15-plus mark for all contests. Stanton reached the peak of his offensive play in the Hutchinson ame on the local maples when he dumpes in Z8 points for one of the to outputs during the Ark Valley sea- son. 8'Neil was supposed to run a poor second to Viking center Wayne Hutchins but the former's ability to turn quickly on the post netted him state-wide acclaim. gmiiilfle ed ws.

The 80 piece Winfield High School Symphony Orchestra, which is now under the direction of Howard Halgedahl, was started 48 years ago. Mrs. Leoti New- land, for a good many years, has been a great help to the string section, by in- dividual lessons and string sectional practice. The orchestra gave a winter concert, December 13, in the new auditorium at Southwestern, a spring concert, and participated in the contest. It is one of the most outstanding orchestras in this part of the country. The theater orchestra and the string orchestra Qpictured belowl are composed of the first few chairs of each section. The theater orchestra played for the musical review, Winfield's My Home and the plays given at school. The string orchestra played a string selection at the annual winter concert, the Christmas program, and recorded and broadcast over KAKE. inhefc! 5400!

Q2 ' an Pictured above are Bill Thornton's Big Four track . men, left to right, Garth Snodgrass, Eldon Cook, Don regf ln Mason, and Larry Williams, who made the tournaments g this season for Winfield High School. Winfield was seen in every scoring column of the big meets over the state this last season as the Viking's splendid sprinter Eldon Cook ranked high in the 1 O, 220 and 440 yard dashes. Cook started off slow taking a third in his best race, the 440, at Sterling, but out of the next six races he took four firsts, one second, and one third. To top off the season, Cook ran a 50. 3 quarter mile to win first place in the state contest. That time was the fastest of his career and only one second off the state record. Eldon is the onl cinderman leaving WHS and all other three will be back for more next year. The athlete below took off on his own this past season and without a team or a coach won his way to the state wrestling meet where he placed fourth for the second straight year. Eddie King is the lad pictured an it was he who practiced several months after foot- ball season to be in shape to attend the regional grappling meet. At Douglass, where it was he d, King took a second place, good enough to qualify for the state meet. From there on King wrote his own ticket. Last year King made the trip as a junior to the state trials along with several boys 1 from Winfield who were on the wrestling team. King nabbed a fourth spot last year and was one of the two Vikings to place in the state. Pictured above are some of the lads who made up the 1954 golf team, first in WHS since 1941. Coaching the s uad was ill Retynolds and at one time during the season 12 tlaoys were trying or the traveling squad. First match for the divit diggers was at Wellington where Kermit Rowe, Charles Swayden, Terry Taton, Jerry Newland and Tim Truesdell battled the Crusaders, but lost. Next trip was to Ark City and the Annual invitational where the Vikes took 10th with Rowe, Swayden, Bob Hartley, Newland, and Taton sticking the way. Wellin ton was played again, this time on the local fairways, witii Winfield, winning a narrow victory. The North-East invitational and the Ark Valley meet were the two remaining battles for Winfield and the golfers took a 16th and 8th resplectively. Some members of t e s uad pictured above are, left to right, Larry McPeek, Bob artley, Kermit Rowe, Charles Swayden, Joe Zanardi, and Harold Hunt. 67 JUNIOR HIGH BASKETBALL FRONT ROW, L, TO R.: Alan Swanson, Mark Mason, Eldon Finuf, Philip Overbey, Shannon Smith, Larry Cooley, Joe Harper, Joe Beldon, Richard Cate.

Winfield was seen in every scoring column of the big meets over the state this last season as the Vikin 's splendid sprinter Eldon Cook ranked high in the 100, 220 and 440 yard dashes. Cook started off slow taking a third in his best race, the 440, at Sterling, but out of the next six races he took four firsts, one second, and one third. To top off the season, Cook ran a 50. 3 quarter mile to win first place in the state contest. That time was the fastest of his career and only one second off the state record. Eldon is the onl cinderman leaving WHS and all other three will be back for more next year. The athlete below took off on his own this past season and without a team or a coach won his way to the state wrestling meet where he placed fourth for the second straight year. Eddie King is the lad pictured and it was he who practiced several months after foot- ball season to be in shape to attend the regional grappling meet. At Douglass, where it was he d, King took a second place, good enough to qualify for the state meet. From there on King wrote his own ticket. Last year King made the trip as a junior to the state trials along with several boys from Winfield who were on the wrestling team. King nabbed a fourth spot last year and was one of the two Vikings to place in the state. Pictured above are some of the lads who made up the 1954 golf team, first in WHS since 1941. Coaching the s uad was ill Reynolds and at one time during the season 12 tlaoys were trying for the traveling squad. First match for the divit diggers was at Wellington where Kermit Rowe, Charles Swayden, Terry Taton, Jerry Newland and Tim Truesdell battled the Crusaders, but lost. Next trip was to Ark City and the Annual invitational where the Vikes took 10th with Rowe, Swayden, Bob Hartley, Newland, and Taton sticking the way. Wellinglton was played again, this time on the local fairways, wit Winfield, winning a narrow victory. The North-East invitational and the Ark Valley meet were the two remaining battles for Winfield and the golfers took a 16th and 8th resplectively.
