H.S, in the fall of '49, After erasing all the walls, we calmed down somewhat and got to business. Officers were: Ruth Trute, President, Glen Powell, Vice President, Dick Dedrick, Secretary, and Duane Robertson, Student Council Representative. We were ready and rearin' to go our Sophomore year, The Echo Valley boys formed their band that year and made a big hit, We chose as officers: Dick Stallings, President, Glen Powell, Vice President, David Bradley, Secretary, Shirley Parrish, Treasurer, and Clara Hillman, Student Council Representative. As Juniors we considered ourselves quite grown up, Our class play was 'Meet Me in St. Louis' which was at least a financial success, Our prom theme was Stardust and was the biggest event of the year. Our leaders were: Leon Mekelburg, President, Glen Powell, Vice President, Ruth Trute, Secretary, Phyllis Morrison, Treasurer, and Roger Herman, Student Council Representative. We finally achieved our goal of becoming Seniors and what is to come we know not, but we will always cherish the memories of Good Old Yuma High.

In the daytime he is a floor-walker for I. C. Penney's and at night he is a floorwalker for Junior. Dick Stallings has just patented a new invention--Windshield wipers on eye glasses. He expects to make at least a million from this invention. Everett Stuck has gone far with Duckwall's. All the way to Kokamunga, Alabama, where he's a head janitor. Lorrain Taladay has put that strange voice malady Qknown as cheerleader's hangoverj to work and is sub- bing for the fog horns on the San Francisco bay.

G. GILLESPIE SY NOP SIS This play takes place in the apartment of two college boys, Tom Arsdale and Oke Stimson. It is close to graduation time and Tom is preparing for the arrival of his father, aunt, and supposed-to-be girl friend, Tom receives word that they are coming sooner than he had expected, His father wants him to become engaged to Sylvia Web- ster, the supposed-to-be girl friend, before he graduates. Tom does not like this par- ticular girl and so he and Oke fix up a make-believe engagement with Babs Sanford, who is masquerading as the cleaning woman, Birdie Laverne. This engagement both surprises and angers Mr, Arsdale. He and Tom get into a few lively quarrels over the matter, but they are all in vain as far as Mr, Arsdale is con- cerned, When he turns to Caroline for assistance, he finds her on Tom's side of the argument. So Mr, Arsdale devises a plan in which he uses Chuck Mayo, who is search- ing for his girl, Birdie Laverne. This plan would go into action that evening when the girls were getting ready for the masquerade dance. But what Mr. Arsdale doesn't know is that Babs and Sylvia have exchanged costumes, As you may have already guessed, Chuck gets the wrong girl and gets into trouble. Sylvia, too, is very angry at both parties for having pulled such a trick on her, However, everything ends well when Sylvia switches her affection to Alfred Tennyson Murgatoyd, the class poet, Tom wins the argument permanently by asking Babs to make that fake engagement a real one, Oke has his interest trained on one of the girls at the college, Peaches Carter, And never fear, Caroline has grabbed a very sophisti- cated college dean, Dean Marlow, Asma, the Negro maid who is popping in and out of the play and making you laugh till your sides ache, ends the play beautifully with the statement: There's nobody girl shy here.

Yuma opened the second half with a fine display of football and scored early in the third quarter but the Wray defense proved too much for the Little Indians and they fell 18 to 6, The third game of the season found Akron at iuma, Playing before the largest crowd of the season the Little Indians scored on the first play from scrimmage and then settled down to a strong defensive game and won a well earned 6 to 0 victory over Akron, The final game of the season was played at Wray. The Little Braves had little trouble moving the ball until they reached the Wray twenty yard line and there the Eaglet de- fense stiffened and held the Red and White team to no gain, After a fine exhibition of grade school football by both teams, the game ended 21 to 6 in favor of Wray.

The Indians showed their superiority through- out the game but were unable to score. By a lucky break the Goodland team was able to score and we lost the game 6-0, We then played our first conference game at Haxtun. Again we came out second best with the score '7-6 in favor of Haxtun. Our second conference game was played at Fleming. The Indians really went to town and we bested Fleming 48-6. Our Homecoming game was played against Iulesburg. Iulesburg, being the lightest team in our conference, was thought to be a fairly easy opponent. But they proved otherwise and after a hard- fought battle the game ended in a 6-6 tie. On October 22 we played the Akron Ramblers. The Indians played a great game that night and beat them 25-14. Holyoke journeyed to Yuma the following week. Yuma played a good game against a team which was unbeaten, untied, and unscored upon by any team in our conference with the score coming out 52-0 in their favor, Our season ended with the traditional Armistice Day game, played at Wray, The Indians fought a fierce battle with the Eagles, but the Eagles came out ahead 13-0, Var ity Letterman A, C, --All Conference GLEN POWELL DOYLE BEVERLY MILTON CHRISMER Cen. 3'4' T. 3'4' A.
