For we are the students of Y. C. H, S. Sing we the tribute that our hearts confess, Ever we glory in our proud success, Hail to the Blue and White forever. Swift speed the moments of youth's fair day, Shadows will lengthen at eve, But we'll be true, native land, to you, To the high school whose colors we wear. The Red, White and Blue forever true, Pure as the heavens above. But one bright spot will remain always, 'Tis the high school whose colors We love. iii!! ill , S E2 1 r O D l'l'l 2 O -- ----- '----- 3 U In 1+ r r I 4 3 r v r 'r r In the distant future, our high school life will appear somewhat of a dream, containing many joyous and fond memories that are dulled by the passage of years. So we place in your hands The Wildcat of ninteen hundred forty-one .... the mirror of pro- gress and personalities of Y. C. H. S. May the memories bound within its pages be- come a bit of personal mythology that will grow ever more precious with the passing of time. We wish to express our appreciation to the many merchants and business firms who have helped make possible this issue of The Wildcat . Also we wish to thank Miss Banker, and the art class, Mr. Horsch and Mrs. Sykes, our sponsors. THE EDITORS . - ,'1'ff f'1 -'Sui' A' r efs 'k DEDICA IONI To: MRS.

Our future plans were simply great For knowledge we could hardly wait. Through the grades it was harder still Although we had a stronger will. Now from high school we will go To see if our dreams are really so, Or our future far from the ideal For which we have planned and worked with zeal So we'll cast away our childhood dreams Of gold and silver and starlit themes. And settle down to future life With minds well' trained for worth while strife. JIA R Y JA NE IIA SSO W Q, fi ' f I .E-gi. 9 f '?'

That was the day you got there fifteen minutes earlier than you ever did afterward. Zip backward with me twelve years and we-'ll find out about it. The time: 8:30. The place: State street with Lincoln school at the south and Washington school at the north. Tripping gaily toward the south we find Mary Dell Burnside, Kenneth Briggs, Junior Stockebrand, Laura Mae Simpson, Clark Hollinger, Wayne Wilhite, Velma Heinlen, Ralph Lake, Richard Leighton and Richard Vadnais. Toward the northern end of State street we find Mary Joan and Virginia Fry, Patricia Pfifer, Lavonne Daniel, Margaret Eichorn, Alan Stoll, Ella Fae Stroh and Junior Varnum. We learned much this first year due to the fact that we were in the hands of capable teachers, Miss Greenman and Miss Spencer. Our superintendent was Mr. Markham. Our second year was notable because of our increase in number. We were joined by Mary Frances Briles, Gertrude Pugh, Glenn Tolle, Elaine Starks, Betty Simpson and Jerome Sorenson. Also Junior Stockebrand got his first paddling, re- member? In the fourth grade Doris and Wilda Church entered our class, and in the fifth we were joined by Bill and Benjy Greene. In 1935 we no longer thought about elementary school, because we were in new surroundings, Junior High! We were joined by Harry Theobald, Helen Gun- nels, Calvin Brodrnan, Lauren Ryan, Geraldine Drain and Hal Widner. We remem- ber this year especially because we began playing basketball. The girls used to beat us, too. What a thrill in the eighth grade to be the oldest ones in school. An ad- dition to our class was Kenny Stockebrand who played on the championship basket- ball team that year. In 1937, came the thrill of thrills-High School! After eight years of hard work, we were being admitted into the portals of the building of our dreams. We were the greenest bunch of Greenies that ever set foot in the halls of old Y.C.H.S. Piqua contributed Mary Beth Haen, Joan Heffern, Lorraine Heffern and Marjorie Lair. From various other places came Estil Barnes, Mary Jane Dassow, Gordon Stockebrand, Helen Massey, Margaret Smith, Evelyn Mulsow, Wilma Watts, Wilma Mabie, Alma Jean Rehmer, Charles Lewis, Lenore Reep, Mardell Randall, Arthur Bowers, Elvin Weide, Fred Steffen, Eva Lee Shotts, Mildred Bauersfeld, Melvin Ruth and Jesse Gillespie. Dick Buck joined us in the middle of the year from Great Bend. We started our sophomore year with seventy members, being joined by Barbara Sisson and Starl Driskill. That year will be remembered for the loss of Mr. Widner, Hal Widner, Kenneth Briggs and Patricia Pfifer. This was also the year that we welcomed J. W. McDonald as our new coach. The class proved its talent this year by the number of extra curricular activities in which it was represented. In our junior year we welcomed our new Superintendent, Mr. Lancaster. Our class was joined by Richard Lancaster and Chancey Turner. The high points of the year were the Junior Play, Spring Fever, and our Antarctic Banquet. In our twelfth year we lost Mary Elizabeth Pingrey, but in the middle of the year we were joined by Gertrude Altman. The climax of our school career was our senior year. We can hardly say other than that it was a rip-roaring success in View of our accomplishments, not the least of which was placing second in the Tri-Valley League in basketball. Special events of the year were the Senior Play, the J unior-Senior banquet, the coronation of our King and Queen and Diplomas. 18 ? Last Will and Testament -z- E, THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1941, before venturing into deeper and darker waters do hereby make known our last will and testament, in which is pub- lished our individual wishes for our successors. To the faithful members of our faculty we express our profound gratitude, for they have steered us through rough water and given words of encouragement when we were about to give up our ship. We have witnessed triump and defeat which adds much in making life worth living, Now we have but one regret and it is that we will never have these years to live over. To the members of the freshman class we will the right of knowing that they are no longer green. To the sophomore class the back-breaking, brain-racking task of preparing a Junior-Senior banquet. Last but not least, to the juniors the right to rule in Y. C. H. S. The following are our worthy beneficiaries: Wilma Watts wills her formula for swaying all the boys to Mary Buck. Lavonne Daniel and Eva Lee Shotts will their title of Brenda and Cobina to Emilia Kraft and Hilda Sieker. Marjorie Lair wills to her sister Bernice the stretch of road between Y. C. and Piqua. Melvin Ruth wills his honor of being judged the best actor of the Tri- Valley League to Dick Plumb. Mary Joan Fry leaves her red hair to Mr. Townsend for use in plays. Gordon Stockebrand wills to Charles Steinforth his quiet disposition. Geraldine Drain wills her violin to Wanda Daniel. Glenn Tolle's slogan of You have to be a football hero to get along with the beautiful girls goes to Francis Campbell. Calvin Brodman wills his physique to Denzil Philo. Harry Theobald leaves his love and devotion to Ula Brown. Starl Driskill wills his title of soda jerk to Bob Ryan. Laura Mae Simpson wills to Lawrence Robinson the first chair of the bass section. Helen Gunnels Wills her lack of interest in Y. C. H. S. lads because of an out-of-school steady to Evelyn Steffen.

I don't know what we would do if we were going to be gone two months-there would probably be enough work to do ahead that we'd never get started. Barbara has been trying the past week to get her substitute at the library acquainted with the work. With all the extra work coming up at the hospital I almost didn't get away at all. Our newest novel will have to be postponed till the end of our trip for we plan to keep a diary from now on-to look at when we're old and gray! Washington. D. C.. April 6 Today we started from Miami. It was a beautiful day to fly. On the plane we discovered Eva Lee was one of the hostesses. We certainly had a nice chat. Shottsie is marrying an aviator next month. She didn't say who, but in the Wash- ington Times, we read that Jr. Varnum is one of the new pilots for T.W.A. There might be some connection there. Mary Dell met us at the airport and took us to hcr apartment. Dell has a Civil Service position. She told us that Doris and Wilda Church owned the apartment house where she lives and several others in Wash- ington. This evening we listened to the daily sports broadcast by Dick Buck. We should have known Dell and Dick would still be together. Chicago. April 7 Early this morning we flew in from Washington. We had been invited to visit Mary Joan Fry while we were here. Joan is that sweet voice you've heard so often saying, Now snuggle down beside your teddy bear while Aunt Jane tells you about Peter Rabbit. She rates a nation-wide network now. Virginia, who entered nurse's training the fall of '41, but quit in the spring of '43 to marry a doctor, is visiting Mary Joan. By the way Mary Frances Briles is one of the up and coming interior decorators of Chicago. This afternoon, we heard a lecture by Margaret Eichorn, who had just returned from an exploring trip to Africa. She told us that she had met Betty Simpson in the Belgian Congo. Betty is a missionary. We read in the evening papers that Bill and Benjy Greene had won the auto races at Indianapolis this afternoon. Chicago. April 8 Today we just loafed and talked to the gang. It is really surprising how widely scattered our old schoolmates of '41 have become. Brilesy says that Richard Lancaster is heading an archaeologists' expedition into Egypt. Virginia said that Captain Clark Hollinger of Fort Dix is slaying all of the women with the handsome appearance he makes in a uniform. Elvin Weide has a ranch in Montana. Wayne Wilhite stayed in Y. C. and is now game warden. We had known that Jesse Gillespie was head of an insurance firm in Corpus Christie, Texas, but Mary Joan surprised us by saying that both Lorraine Heffern and Marjorie Lair were on the staff of secretaries working under him. On Train, April 9 We took the Santa Fe streamliner out of Chicago this morning and head- ed for Albuquerque, and were much surprised to find Lenore Reep as hostess on the train. She visited a little while and told us that Laura Mae Simpson and Ella Fae Stroh both had married soon after graduation and were living on farms near Nevada, Missouri. Laura Mae, by the way, has a set of twins nearly four years old. Velma Heinlen is director of the Kansas City Art Institute. She also said that Lauren Ryan is touring the United States as a daredevil driver. Joan Heffern is a newspaper columnist, and in her last issue she said that two old schoolmates of ours had rated the Philadelphia Philharmonic-they were Geraldine Drain and Helen Gunnels. Of course, we know where Evelyn Mulsow is because her face is staring CONTINUED NEXT PAGE 21 'H 1' ' EIT.. 'YSTW 'T . ' ' - f -Q, . , . .. ...tContinuedl at us from every magazine cover-Ipana's girl of the month. lsn't it surprising how far our classmates have gone. Albuquerque. April 10 We discovered today that Glenn Tolle and Kenny Stockebrand have been coaching superior basketball teams. They knew some more gossip about the class of '41, to-wit: Jr. Stockebrand is a pilot on one of the transcontinental airlines. Alan Stoll is Chemistry and Physics instructor at Nebraska U. Ralph Lake is quite the movie idol now, and Melvin Ruth is starring in a big stage production in New York. Barbara and I agree we would rather go back to Y. C. and see all of the bunch that are around there than to finish our trip-yeah it sounds that way to us too. but that's what we are going to do anyway. Yates Center, April 11 What fun we've had today! We met Mary Jane Dassow and Mardell Randall who are spending the week end at homeg they have a dress shop in Chanute. With all of this tearing around my hair is in an awful condition. I had it fixed today and discovered Helen Massey and Margaret Smith have a beauty shop downtown. Calvin Brodman is a farmer as he hoped to be, and Harry Theobald is the new sheriff of Woodson county. Alma Jean Rehmer is in her father's office as secretary. Chancey Turner is married and lives near Rose on a farm. We heard that Richard Leighton is leader of a dance band currently appearing at the Hotel Muehlebach in Kansas City. Lavonne Daniel, by the way, is the pianist for the band. Yates Center. April 12 Today we met Elaine Starks at church and afterward we visited a while. She is a teacher in Chanute Jr. College. She says that Mary Beth Haen and Mildred Bauersfeld are dietitians working in a laboratory in St. Louis. Starl Driskill has a large drug store in Wichita, and Charles Lewis is in the parachute troops in the army. Gertrude Altman went back to Minnesota after she graduated and is now married and living on a farm near Minneapolis. Fred Steffen is a truck driver, and Arthur Bowers an oil field worker. Wilma Mabie is the Home Service demonstrator for Hotpoint electric ranges. Montgomery, April 14 We decided to move on much as we hated to and here we are in Alabama. We find Wilma Watts running a kindergarten here. Gordon Stockebrand owns a large plantation not far from here and Estil Barnes is Prof. of History in Alabama University. In the paper we saw an ad for Vadnais dairy and a notice that Jerome Sorenson is wrestling in Madison Square Garden tonight. .- 'fc ' tt. .'.. A -lf? E Q, .

Members of our class made up twenty-eight percent of the students on the first semester honor roll. Twenty-four of our musicians took part in vocal music, and fifteen of our members took part in instrumental music. Members of our class took active part in all school activities, such as Student Council. Debate, Girl Reserves and Hi-Y. Two of our members were starred in the all-school contest play. Our class play, A Lady to See You, was presented November 22. On April 24, we presented a starlight garden banquet in honor of the seniors. Eleven hard fighting Wildcats from our class lettered in football, and nine boys received basketball letters. Presideni .............................. ...,,..

Above reproach was the scholarship record set by our class. Five honor students were among our ranks the first semester. In the Tri-Valley League play contest, Frances Shaefer received honorable mention for her character portrayal of UMa in The Blue Teapot. Frequently other members of the class took part in pep assemblies and chapel programs. Ci the sixty band members, ninteen were sophomores. Fourteen of our class were enrolled in vocal music and five in orchestra. The two drum majorettes were both sophomores. Mary Buck and Harrison Redfearn were our Queen and King candidates. In athletics we had five boys who lettered in football and one in basketball. Many others were on the squad and underwent valuable tests of sportsmanship, gaining knowledge for future years.

The freshman class started its high school career with a zoom and a bang. The enrollment hit a peak of eighty. Then for a noisy week the freshmen were initiated by the seniors who repaid them by a picnic at Greene's Lake, That marked the end of the term freshie. After conforming to the dignified rules of behavior established by the seniors, the 'tfreshiei' became a high school youngster. Twenty-five per cent of the students on the first semester honor roll were freshmen. There were sixteen in instrumental music and ten in vocal music. The freshman class proved to be unusually talented, and its members dis- played their ability at various school programs. The class also claims the Sinfonietta and concert accompanists, Betty Ann Drain and Patricia Stockebrand. Seven of the freshman class were on Coach Grafel's football squad. Five of the freshmen boys were on the basketball B-squad. Although none received letters, there are three years yet in which to gain recognitlon 'A' ni' nk ak 'k Freshmen 26 N.

Under the leadership of Miss Cecil Mason, principal, Miss Florence Toedman and Mr. Richard Wilson, the Junior High held Open House May 8 to exhibit its year's accomplishments. Academic achievements were displayed--personal wood- work exhibits by the boysg and the Junior High Home Economics department serv- ed refreshments. Letters were awarded to those who were on the honor roll the entire year, or in the upper five per cent in the Emporia Every Pupil contest, or who placed in the County scholarship contest. The DONG Radio Program proved beneficial for would-be public speakers. Every student sometimes during the year gave a talk or some form of entertainment. Occasionally outside speakers were guests. The Home Room system in the Junior High develops future leaders for the High school. The four home rooms this year elected a new cabinet each six weeks. These groups sponsored the chapels and the president was taught to receive the principal speaker, introduce him and all other courtesies that are customary. Parlia- mentary rules were used. The Junior High was represented in the High School Band, Orchestra and Beginners Band. During Music Week the vocal organizations presented a Stephen Foster program. A large number in the chorus for the Christmas pageant were Junior High students. In the realm of athletics the Junior thinclads and cagers convinced the Yates Center sports fans of thrilling and victorious years to come. Against Class A and B opponents the basketeers won 17 of 26 contests. They captured the Tom Thumb Tournament at Lebo and were runners-up to Eureka in the Yates Center Invitational. 27 Grades IVERSIFIED WIL CATS STUDENT COUNCIL ...,, WILDCAT STAFF .,.....

For the first time in the history of Y.C.H.S. a vocal clinic was held, March 17. with Dr. Orville J. Borchers, K.S.T.C., Emporia, supervising. Dr. Borehers worked the entire day with the A Cappella Choir, Girls' Glee Club and vocal soloists, point- ing out their defects, then improving and correcting them. This clinic gave the stu- dents a new idea of the importance of music. In the evening a concert was given by the vocal groups and soloists.

This club planned and worked out the annual Homecoming festival, which was their masterpiece for the year. The pep rally, chapel program and coronation as well as the Homecoming game were duly appreciated by the old grads. The enthusiam of the group in their striking blue and white uniforms was noteworthy, and the splendid way they did the work, which necessarily is included in a Homecoming program, is to be commended. Throughout the year the Kittens also merited and received much praise for their consistently good pep assemblies held before each home game. The cooperation and the versatility of these thirty-five talented girls, ably directed by Miss Ireland and Miss Banker, did much to make the school year of 1940-41 a happy one.

Its pur- pose is to better the school spirit. school loyalty, and to promote athletic interests of the school. Every member is pledged to refrain from practices which would be injurious to health, character, or community. The Club was started in 1939 at the close of the football season with twenty- seven charter members. There are now thirty-six active and seven honorary Y-men who are graduates. The fine type of sportsmanship prevailing in Y. C. H. S. is evidence of the success of this influential group under the leadership of Coach McDonald. Among the many activities sponsored by the Y Club this year were the noon- hour activity period for the rural students' entertainment, the horseshoe tourna- ments, and the sale of the blue and white basketball pencils. Business meetings were held every two weeks with a program following. if i' A' -A' -A' -A' OFFICERS PRESIDENT ...............,,.,... ..... .....,......... ....i,,.,......

CHRISTMAS PAGEANT The second annual Christmas Pageant was presented to an appreciative audience December 13 by the pupils of the entire school system of Yates Center. The Pageant committee, consisting of Miss Knotts, Miss Banker and Mr. Creitz. was aided by the entire faculty who cooperated in successfully staging the Pageant. The acting characters were as follows: Betty Jean Schnell, Mary, Fred Stef- fen, Josephg Charles Steinforth, Prophet, Earl Brodman, King Herrodg Dick Buck, Inn Keeper, Eugene McCormick, Chief Priest. Mr. Townsend, Richard Plumb, Rob- ert Wise, Ula Brown, Denzil Philo and Jimmie Allen sang the solo parts for the acting characters. The grade chorus of 218 voices, the A Cappella choir and the Sinfonietta, together with effective lighting, elaborate costumes and excellent scenery made a truly spectacular and impressive performance.

Dramatics 'A' 'A' i' 'k i' CONTEST PLAY The Blue Teapot , the one-act contest play for this year, received the highest rating given at the Tri-Valley Dramatic Festival held at Garnett, February 13. the play told the story of a young couple who were always quarrelingg but after helpful hints from a neighbor couple, things were finally patched up. Melvin Ruth was ranked as the outstanding character actor of the festival. R. T. Brown and Frances Rae Shaefer received honorable mentions. Marjorie Miller displayed her usual dramatic ability. The same cast, with the exception of Junior Stockebrand replacing R. T. Brown, Jr., attended the Chanute Dramatics Festival March 29. Of twelve schools attending, only three rated above Yates Center, which received a Superior ranking. The play was directed by Mr. Townsend. JUNIOR PLAY The Junior Play, A Lady to See You,', a three-act farce by Jean Lee Latham, was presented November 22. The story evolved around a young lawyer, Gerald Donavan, who spent secret week-ends at his mountain cabin for amazing but innocent reasons-writing letters to hundreds of love-sick ladies, under the name of John B. Nicholson. When his suspicious wife and her peppery mother tracked Gerald down to his cabin, things began to hum. Then the real John Nicholson turned up with a fiery Italian bride, and mirthquakes rocked the placeg for the cabin was jammed and crammed with love letters to John Nicholson . When two of the lovesick ladies came hunting John Nicholson, the fun went on a rampage that never stopped until the final curtain fell. Before Gerald got a chance to explain his utter innocence-and what an ex- planation it was-he suffered the tortures of the damned, and the audience had a hilarious time. The play was directed by Mr. Townsend, assisted by Betty Jean Schnell and stage manager, Melvin Ruth. SENIOR PLAY The Patchwork Quilt , a drama by Arthur Jearue, was presented March 7 by the senior class. One of the most successful plays ever to be presented in Y.C.H.S., it played to a record house. Laid in the romantic city of New Orleans, the story of the play covered a per- iod of years and brought in much historical data, such as the Mardi Gras of 1915, the beginning of the World War and the Armistice. Diane, thwarted in love, kept a dairy of her life in a form of a patchwork quilt. Each little square of material was taken from some gown she wore at a crucial moment in her life. When the first act began, she was making the pieces into a quilt for her daughter's wedding present. An unforseen difficulty arose, and she was forced to tell the story of her life. This was told in the second act by a series of flash-back scenes wherein the characters enacted the different episodes. The final act in mod- ern setting showed the effect of the tragedy on the young Diane. The cast, ably directed by Mr. Townsend, merited and received much praise for a fascinating presentation of a difficult play. 41 ZW ..-Y l Back Row: Jesse Gillespie, Joe Kuestersteffen, Mr. Townsend.

Yates Center participated in the tournaments held at Fort Scott, Coffeyville, nute and also the Tri-Valley League tournament which was held in Yates Center. The team also attended a debate clinic at Lawrence. Independence, Cha Debating has proved to be of value to Y. C. H. S. students. The debators have gained broader interests and a better understanding of national and international affairs. Although the year contained no outstanding success, there was value in that the underclassmen received the training necessary to make a good team for the coming year. The squad was composed of four seniors-Jesse Gillespie, Lorraine Heffern, Mary Dell Burnside, Mary Frances Brilesg and underclassmen-Joe Kuestersteffen, Richard Plumb and Maxine Brown-who will return to represent the school next ycar. Mr. Townsend was the debate coach.

Their spirit, school loyalty, and attitude the past season, has made this squad one that will always be remembered. Participating in 10 contests, the proteges of Coach McDonald and Grafel, won 5, lost 4, and tied 1. In Tri-Valley competition, the Wildcats wound up in 4th place, with a .500 percentage, and a record of 3 wins, 3 losses, and 1 tie. A group of veterans and recruits gradually were worked into shape, under the able tutelage of Coach McDonald and Coach Grafel, for their first game on September 20. September 20: Opposing LeRoy in their initial contest of the season, the Wildcats white-washed the smaller LeRoymen 39-0, with Coach t'Mac using his first eleven but 2112 quarters. In the following week, the Wildcats avenged all the defeats of years back, by trouncing the Gridley Yellowjackets, 32-0. October 4: Riding high after chalking up two non-league victories. the Wild- cats, with much confidence, entered Tri-Valley league play, opposing Garnett, and as a result, sent the Bulldogs home with a stinging 7-0 defeat. October 11: With three straight wins, against no defeat, the unscored-upon Wildcats played host to the Eureka eleven. Leading 13-12, with 15 seconds remain- ing in the final quarter, the Wildcat line weakened, and let Harmon, Eureka full- back, through for a touchdown, to give the Crimson Tornadoes an 18-13 victory. which dealt the Y. C. gridsters their first loss of the season. October 18: Not discouraged over their disheartening loss to Eureka, the Wildcats journeyed to Fredonia for their first game on a foreign gridiron. Playing their hardest since the beginning of the season, the Wildcats emerged from the fracas with a 13-13 tie, and gave the Yellowjackets a severe blow to their champion- ship hopes. October 25: Again traveling to unknown territory, the McDonaldmen, out after their 4th win, met the Neodesha Blue Streaks at Neodesha. Tied 0-0 at the end of the 3rd quarter, two Wildcats were injured and replaced by substitutes. The Streaks rushed over Y. C.'s goal twice in the final quarter, to win the game, 13-0, -the first game in which the Wildcat's famous passing attack failed to click. October 31: Following a week of Homecoming festivities, and four days of 48 CONTINUED ON PAGE 52 Basketball LTHOUGH THE 1940-41 WILDCAT BASKETEERS failed to capture the covet- ed conference crown, they were admittedly one of the strongest and most brilliant of teams ever produced in Y. C. H. S. The team, composed of veterans, gave each opponent stiff competition and presented an offense with which no team could cope. Lack of space does not permit the use of the many adjectives that would best describe their many outstanding performances, but no team in Wildcat history has ever been more capable of ef- fective and spectacular basketball. Opposing seven Tri-Valley teams twice, and three non-conference foes, the Wildcats played in 17 contests, bringing home 13 victories, and being defeated but four times, all by close scores. It is also worth mentioning that the team lacked but one game to bring the Tri-Valley championship home. The season opened with Yates Center winning from Gridley, a non-conference foe, 26-9, with Coach McDonald holding out his starting quintette 1V2 quarters. After losing to Neodesha, the Blue and White copped their first victory from Cherry- vale. Handicapped by the large court at Fredonia, the Wildcats failed to click and were sent home with their second defeat. Knowing theyfwere capable of better basketball than they had been displaying, the Wildcats decided to put full steam ahead. Before a crowd that taxed the capacity of the Y. C. field house, the 'cats defeated the strong undefeated Garnett five in a great basketball exhibition. Next in line came the Eureka Tornadoes, who were also sent home defeated. On the road again after 2 straight wins, the Yates Center five defeated Humboldt, and the next week at home, rolled over Burlington, to complete their first round of play, with 5 wins, against 2 losses. Opening the second round, the Wildcats took to the hardwoods opposite Neo- desha, and were defeated by one point, a free throw in the final 10 seconds. Travel- ing to Cherryvale, they defeated the Cherries easily, and also saved themselves for the Fredonia battle, one which they took with a 1-point margin, by a free throw in the last 16 seconds. The remaining four games in Tri-Valley competition were with Eureka, Garnett, Humboldt and Burlington. Garnett had not been defeated on their CONTINUED ON PAGE 52 First Row.

Minus the services of their fullback, the Blue and White pinned a 20-7 defeat on the Cherries. November 8: In their last game at home, the Wildcats lost a 7-6 decision to the Humboldt Cubs. The Wildcats' attack functioned well in mid-field but bogged down when the goal line was within striking distance. November 15: For their last outside-the-league contest, the 'cats proceeded to Emporia, to play the Emporia High Spartans. Led by one man, the Spartans scored 20 points against the Wildcats, to win 20-0. November 28: No amount of fight or spirit the Burlington Wildcats had stored up, could stand before the Y. C. H. S. Wildcats on Thanksgiving Day. Journey- ing to Burlington for their last battle, the Blue and White put the finishing touches on a successful season, by walloping their arch rivals, 13-7. In everlasting memory, We wish to honor the sparkling line play of L. Ryan, F. Almond, R. Vadnais, K. Stockebrand, R. Slane, L. Stockebrand, D. Buck: and for their wonderful ball lugging, passing and blocking, throughout the season, we honor G. Tolle, J. Varnum, C. Turner and D. Philo. Honorable mention must be made of E. Stockebrand, B. Ryan, J. Sorenson, E. Weide, E. Barnes, C. Lewis, S. Driskill and F. Steffen. Whether in the game or not, they were always pitching for the Wildcats. 16 players were lost by graduation this year, and will leave a large gap in the Wildcat squad. However able veterans will take over next year, and should be able to form another successful Wildcat football squad. 'A' uk if 'k 'A' 'A' Basketball ........ .C...........,, court until met by Y. C. H. S. Eureka was defeated in the second overtime. After leading throughout the game, the Humboldt Cubs were also defeated with a last quarter Wildcat rally. The last league game found Y. C. H. S. triumphing over Burlington, which ended conference play, with the Wildcats holding down second place with Fredonia, and a record of ll wins and 3 defeats. A 10-man cage squad entered the Kansas regional tournament at Osage City playing against Council Grove. Continuing their winning ways, the McDonaldmen trounced the Council Grove five and advanced to the semi-finals. Playing Osage City, Jayhawk league champions, the Wildcats, minus their seasonal spark, and after 7 straight victories, met defeat at the hands of the Indians of Osage, which ended their tournament play, and also the 1940-41 cage season. Seven notable players ended their high school basketball careers this year, namely: Glenn Tolle, Clark Hollinger, Kenneth Stockebrand, Lauren Ryan, Chancey Turner, Bob Ryan and Dick Buck, all of Whom made up the first team. Others on the squad were Raymond Pingrey, Ronald Naylor, Richard Slane, Jimmie Allen, Ted Gould, Bill Randall and Denzil Philo. The past season not only produced a quick-thinking, quick-charging first team, but also brought to light valuable second team material. Winning 9 out of 14 games this season, the second team, which will be the first stringers next year should go through the l94l-42 season with flying colors. ,. 'aw ' ah -, .

INNERS OF 3 TRACK AND FIELD MEETS and placing high in many others, the 1941 Yates Center track squad was, indeed, a successful one. 35 boys, under the able guidance of Coach McDonald, compiled a wonderful track record this season, not only in the won and lost column, but also in their attitude, ability and school spirit. Picked members of the squad entered the Emporia Invitational, Fredonia Relays, K. U. Relays, Tri-Valley meet, Burlington Relays, two dual meets, and one triangular track meet, carrying off many top honors in all of them. Yates Center ranked fourth in the Tri-Valley meet, third at the Emporia Invitational, second at the Burlington Relays, and won the feature attraction at the Fredonia relays, an 880 football relay. Individual honor must be given Chancey Turner, Jimmie Allen, Glenn Tolle, and also, special mention is made of the medley, 880, and mile relay teams, for the records they established this past season. At the state regional meet held in Eureka, and competing with much larger schools, Chancey Turner, Y. C. Speedster, captured third in the 100 yard dash, and carried away seconds in both the 220 and 440 which permitted him to compete at the state meet.
