GHS Yearbook - 1949

Upon this page you see a picture of a school. But. is it just a school ? No, it is rather a milestone in our ltves

For the past four years we have passed through these portals and have become richer in character. ability. sportsmanship, and all other traits so admirable in mankind

Nov.r we are leaving , for some of us this picture and the one we carry in our hearts will be the only reminder of these four glorious years. As we go down the well-known steps out into a world filled with adventure and heartbreak. we turn and with a deep sigh v.re breathe chose oft repeated words : ALL HAIL OUR GOLDEN HIGH.

DR H V CRA \VFORD

The Class of "'49" dedicates our 1949 DEMON to a man who gave so generously of his time and energy t o make our school days pleasant and happy ones Dr Crawford was our fr1e.nd and we s hall all miss him greatly This Annual will be a pleasant r eminder of his devotion and service to us .

The Demon "B" Squad Basketball team won only one league contest in their first round , but under the capable coaching of lviark Eaton managed to split the second round winning 3 ball games and losing 3 The team did very well considering the fact that 4 of the boys V.'ere freshm e n and 5 were sophomores Most of the teams they played against were composed of Juniors .

\\Then the nev.r wrestli.ng coach. Don McMahon. sent out a call for the 1949 wrestling squad to begin practice. h e was g reeted by on ly three returning veterans plus about thirty other boys who were willing to give the sport a try for the first time

By the time the sea$o n was finished this squad was to place a team on the mat that made up for it's lack of experience by determination and fighting sp1r1t that made them a constant threat to their opponents 1n all of the nine me ets 1n which they have competed

Trn of the grapplers earned enough points to win the coveted letter awards Two of lhese. George Artemis and Read Beers. both seniors, ga1nl'd further honor by placing 1n their weight at the state tournament George gained a fourth place 1n the I 20 lb class. while Read despite a seve r e kne-e 1nJury suffered about the middle of the season, ca me back to fight h1s way into the finals of the 138 lb class to lose a one po nc decision and take the runner-up spo t Les Kroeger. flashy sophomore 95 and Tom Davison. veteran Junior 127 to ok second placl's 10 their weights at the co nference meet to qualify for the state meet

The ten boys who won their letters were Artemis, Beers. Ho\\·arter, and Richards se ni o rs Davison and Richner. Juniors. Kroeger Kiser. and Lewis. sophomores. and Hubert (Killer) Korosec. Freshman Six of these will return co form the nucleus of the 19 5 0 team

Over a do7en others "'ho parttc1pated tn one or more ma cches dunng the seaso n , and who ,vill return to give next seasons squad a strong well-balanced team are Hartz, Jerome. Weber. Mestecky. Nelson. McKendry McMahan Hutchinson Watson. Hogan. Shaeffer. Chnsttansen. Maxey, Bennetts Two other se ni ors. Bill Hutchinson and Jim Zimmer, wrestled 1n several matches and though they didn t earn qu1te enough po1n ts to win their letter they are to be commended for the ability which chey showed 10 their 1n1t1al year 1n a sport 1n which experience ha s always been the greatest teacher

At the end of the year the letter winners elected Artemis and Beers as Co-captains.

Officers of Student Body, Student Council, Grades, National Honor Society, Athletics , " G " Club; Cheerleaders , Majorettes, Melodears , Goldenairs, Glee Club, Senior Play, Assembly Appearances , Annual Staff, F .

When Roaming through the halls of Golden Hi seventh hour, you most likely will hear the rousing music of the G H S band Every day, fifty members spend seventh hour learning new music and practicing the old , for a band must have a large repertoire of both classical and popular music .

The band provides excellent entertainment at both basketball and football games . Without this entertainment, the spirit of the crowd would be considerably dampened

The public gets a chance to see the band in its annual concert in March , sponsored by the student council, and during music week in May A new twist was added this year with the purchase of the beautiful new uniforms , of which everyone is justly proud But without the untiring devotion and patience of our director , Mr. Bishop, the band would not have been the great success it was .
