SPORTS A number of games have been played in the last several weeks by the Red Devils, which have kept them pretty busy. Well, needless to say, they have come out victorious a few times and deserve praise for the excellent basketball they have played. First, let's review the game of over a week ago. It was at the Elementary School Thursday night at the usual time, and contenders for the evening were the 2nd Signal Group. Newman and Bernstrom went on a rampage of passing up and down the court to gleefully drop in one after the other, all which had considerable fight on our eventual victorious score of 49-41. The girls started the evening off beforehand with the bang-up good game against the DAC'S, that the girls are accustomed to playing, and came out with a winning score. Now let's skip ahead to Monday night when the 933rd AAA team accepted the challenge, and likewise went down before the YHS merciless onslaught. The game was played at the Elementary School, where a crowd watched Fred Kurdziolek best his score even more, to remain the high-scorer of YAHS. Final score of the game: 28-14. The preliminary game was played by the B squad against St Joe's, with considerable zest, but--well, better luck next time, fellows. Now, skipping ahead to Friday night, let's review the game with the 12th Sp Service team, where down at the Elementary School, the Red Devils completely and emphatically trounced the opposition. We, with the final score of 47-9, was decidedly the most successful game of the season. I happened to be the scorekeeper for the Special Service side, and believe me, when they made a basket, it was quite an occasion. The girls played a ripping game beforehand, and their opponents, the Tokyo O's, made off with the victory. Now, skipping over the weekend, we came to the game with Hq. Sp Service troops, played Tuesday night, again at the Elementary School. The B squadders, still smarting from their defeat at the hands of St Joseph's, this time were firmly resolute as they tore into the Yokohama Area Engineers. "We'll show em", they swore. "This time we'll win". anyway, better luck next time, fellows. |
Now, trusting the A squad to get a victory, I
"went and wrote" up the game with YAHS emerging the triumphant victors.
They then "went and Lost" and I had to write it up all over again. Anyway, the Special Service troops definitely beat us, and since there seems to be nothing we can do about it, I'm forced to record the final score as being 82-53, their favor. Well, better luck next time, fellows. (getting in a rut). Taking the remaining games in order, they are as follows: YAHS ---- 44 598th Eng --- 34 YAHS ---- 47 46th Eng --- 36 YAHS ---- 56 YAE --------- 39 The gamed Monday night offered reassurance from the YAE game, when the Devils dragged the Eighth Army Special Service team through the mud. (not literally of course). Fred Kurdziolek, still high score for the team, boosted his score twelve more points, and Newman added eight to his own. The reporter wished to offer his sincere condolence to the YAHS girl's team in their bereavement, following the game with the Tokyo WACS. Better luck next time.

THANKS In Yokohama there is one person to whom the teen-agers and the grade school youngsters owe a great debt of gratitude. This lady has donated huge amounts of her time and talents to the helping of the children of Yokohama. This lady is Mrs. Mac Eldowney. When I first arrived over here she was sponsoring the "teen-agers" dances. She had brought this about only through selfless devotion to her ideas and ideals in regard to the dependant children. Later in the year she sponsored and furthered another idea; that of the "Teen-Age Canteen", and now all of Yo-Hi to her enthusiasm. In doing this, she set an example that the teen-agers throughout Japan are trying to imitate. I shall not get sentimental in my tribute to her because sentimentality is not basic and factual which alienates it from the work she has accomplished,. She has built a teen age canteen, brought all the students together into one group instead of individual cliques, and instilled in each and everyone of us a type of pride in "our gang". She certainly has left there mark on Yokohama. Mrs MacEldowny, may I, for all the "teen-agers" say "thank you". Mike Buckley THE STAFF Editor-in-chief ...... Chuck Stodter Associate Editor ...

John Joyce Reporters.. Walt Henderson, Mike Buckley, Kitty Fox, Marlene Deelstra, Pat Fox and Ann Cook KNOW YOUR FACULTY Mrs. Steinbaugh was born in Alabama, New York, but Malverin, Long Island is home at the moment. She came over on the "Brewster" away back in May 1947. She likes Yokohama very much and enjoys teaching at Yo-Hi. |
She has been a teacher for thirteen years and she
says she thinks the students here have a higher mentality than the average student back
home has. The New Year affects the Steinbaughs, so the plan to be leaving us for parts east. However, Mrs. Steinbaugh hopes to be able to finish the school term here and we sure hope she can, don't we, kids? AC ''SWISH MITTY' The story thus far: We left our hero, handicapped somewhat by a broken arm, watching helplessly as Snake Head was about to shoot the basket that would mean certain defeat for Taxidermy Tech. Just as Snake Head was about to shoot, Chuck Blotter, staff photographer for the town newspaper, steadied his Brownie Reflex camera for an action picture. The exploding flashbulb made Snake Head hesitate and as he again steadied himself for the shot he tripped over his own untied shoelace. Mitty immediately grabbed the ball and threw it with all of his lethal accuracy at the basket. Just as the ball swished cleanly through the net, the whistle blew ending the game. The victory-crazed fans swept down on the court like a wave in a stormy sea. Men shook his mighty hand and patted him on his enormous back while women tore away strips of his crimson uniform as precious souvenirs. After the state militia had finally cleared Bryer Gym of fans, "Swish' Mitty went to his locker. He opened it and a hush fell over the dressing room as an empty 7-up bottle dropped noisily from it to the floor. Coach Smith broke the stillness of the room. You know what this means, Mitty. Not only will you be dropped from the basketball team, but also dismissed from school!.
Unobserved by "Swish" Mitty over in one corner, Ratsy Trapelli, the player whom Mitty had replaced on the basketball team, chuckled to himself as he thought how well his plan was progressing. Will our hero be expelled from Taxidermy Tech or will be discover this treacherous scheme in time to prevent its execution? You can't afford to miss the next installment of "Swish" Mitty in the forthcoming issue of "Yo-Hi Echoes"! |

H S FRESHMAN FROLICS The Freshman class would like to extend a hearty welcome to all the new students. They are Walton Rawls, who claims Charleston, South Carolina as his home: Richard Hall, who hails from Dallas, Texas: Leonetta Coop, who thinks San Francisco, is the best: Richard Fuller, who also claims California, Santa Clara, to be exact: Jan Wilson, from the "Blue Grass State".

Shirley Boris is one of the newcomers and she claims Charleston, South Carolina as her home town. Emily Johnson and Georgia Dusk came over on the USAT Mayo together. Emily is pretty proud of Clinton, Missouri (well, natch-who wouldn't be) but Georgia prefers Minneapolis, Minnesota. Lois Fritz and Joanne Stephens are the other two of our five new girls. The former hails from Lake success, New York and the latter comes from Monterey Park, California. And last but not least, we come to our only new boy.

PERSONODITY Taking the spotlight on this week's "Personality" is a cute chick who can be recognized as being the first fortunate girl to receive a certain boy's football key and sweater---what about that Jim? She was born in New York but claims Texas (Dallas that is) as her home. She is the Circulation Manager of our paper ( and makes a very cute one too). She seems to take a great interest in roller skating and swimming, dancing and last but not least, a very great interest in the male sex. Well, I can't seem to twist her arm any further and you oughta' know by now who this "little"chick is--of course, Nellie Gassman. M D FADS AND FASHIONS With the start of a new semester, Yo-Hi got many new students and just as many new styles that are making the old timers turn green with envy! To mention only a few: Jean Fuller's pretty pink sweater, and Virginia Todd's yellow one. Doesn't that blue suit look wonderful on slim Mary O'Dell? (Her pink one is lush too). Can't forget to mention the football players and their letter-sweaters. I'm trying to decide who looks better in Jim Hyatt's, he or Nellie?? Chuck Cronin has a collection of sox to "knock your eyes out". The flashiest are the yellow with the green trees! And what about Marlene Deelstra's bright red ones.!! Ties seem to be very fashionable at Yo-Hi now. Tardy wears a green and white one, Sharon a yellow one, Kitty Fox a very masculine brown one and Ginny B a huge white satin bow. At one of the recent parties, Ginger Larkin had on the prettiest winter white dress trimmed with gold. Jean Jacques looks mighty cute in her plaid wool dress .... but then it's hard for her not to look cute, isn't it? P F SOCIAL CIRCLE Once more the "Neet Nac" came through with a successful and enjoyable dance...speaking of the Valentine party, no less! The canteen was very cleverly and appropriately decorated with crepe paper, red and white hearts, and little lines of sentiment on the mirrors -- Ahem! The first hour and a half of the dance found anxiety prevailing as everyone dropped their vote for Queen in the the "little green box". Finally the great event ---"Crowning the queen of hearts"---anxiety was relieved by unanimous delight as Ginger Larkin took the throne with a beautiful bouquet of flowers in her arms. |
|
After the coronation (executed by Col. Buckley) Maj.
Hiatt took pictures of the Queen and her attendants ( Shirley O'H., Patsy Fuller, Margie
R., Donna A., and Sharon O'H).
The remainder of the evening found everyone dancing among scattered confetti and have the time of their lives. Friday night after the game the kids all stampeded the Barnard residence and had loads of fun devouring sandwiches, cookies, cokes, and -- comic books. Sat Night, Feb 28, Donna A, Margie R, and Ginger L, were the hostess of a delightful party at the Neet Nac. What made it so delightful? Why the wine, Women and Song of course. (Hamburgers, cokes, and juke-box that is). Anyway the variety of dances which invariably found Ginger with a broom, Peggy bumping into Walt, and Ernie putting his number back in the box --- made this party more than than a barrel of monkeys.! Sunday night Pat Markley and Jim Patrick entertained "the gang" down at the Star Hotel. The occasion being Jim's departure for the states--not that we're glad to see him go, but look at the fund we would've missed if he weren't going! S O'H SNOOPER Who's it gonna be, Buzz, Virginia Todd, Shirley S or maybe D A?? Fred K always waits to walk down the hall with Ginny M --- could this mean anything?? Just who is Margie R interested in these days? Goodness I have a terrible time keeping up with her -- Jim, Chazz, Herb---??? Bob Slade and Jean F are off to a good start, keep it up, you two! Buzz and Virginia Todd are really chummy these days ... but Virginia aren't you spose to be interested in Dave S? Hardy G and Shirley S are really hitting it off well! Jean Fuller has quite a few cut-ins at the dances by -- I don't like to mention names but --- Bob S, Ernie, and guess I'll stop there. Sharon O seems to have great interests outside of school ... why so secretive there kid? Emily and Bob Slade (he certainly gets around) can find more to talk about, especially in study hall. Tony, Dave, and Dick will have to find out who's who with Rita. And has anyone noticed that freshman who looks exactly like Errol Flynn? His initials are B S. |
