The Lamoni Chronicle OFFICIAL PAPER OF DECATUR COUNTY Lamoni, Iowa, Thursday, March 19, 1942, Page 3 THE TRUMPETER DEVOTED TO LAMONI PUBLIC SCHOOLS THREE DEMONS PLACE ON BG LOOP TEAMS No Conference Opening Sport This Year Lamoni's third place team landed three of its team mates on the first and second all-Blue Grass Conference basketball teams. Last Tuesday, March 10, all the conference athletic heads met at Mount Ayr to finish the current business of the loop. The coaches nominated, discussed, and chose the two representative all-conference teams. Bedford placed their entire first team among the selected teams. The first team as chosen is: Forwards: Morris and Marshall, Bedford; and Howard, Lamoni. Guards: Loving, Lamoni; Nelson, Bedford; and Preston, Lenox. Center: Salon, Bedford. The second team selections are: Forwards: Miller, Lenox; Rusk, Mount Ayr; and Ward, Corydon. Guards: Ulmer, Bedford; Hoffman, Leon; and Dailey, Mount Ayr. Centers: Payton, Lamoni; and Manchester, Leon. Loving, Howard, Marris and Salen were unanimous choices. The men in their other business decided to abandon baseball as a conference sport due to the war emergency. At the present plans are made to carry out the regular football schedule. The Blue Grass Conference basketball jamboree will not be held in 19423. The conference basketball schedule will not as heavy next year. These plans are all dependent on this situation of the country, and further information will be announced concerning them. MINUTE BIOGRAPHIES Willie Barnett, 12th Grade Another very ambitious senior student is the object of today's interview. Willie likes to read, to go to the movies, and go on trips. The only thing he could think of that he doesn't like to do is study. He likes sympathy music, something a lot of people cannot appreciate. He has no favorite song. Willie lived in Kellerton for about seven years and attended school there for three years. He also went to country school and has attended Lamoni high school since he was a sophomore. He wants to study medicine after he graduates from high school. ___________ Franklin Thies, 11th Grade Lamoni high school welcomes another newcomer. This time it is the tall blond who has been casting his shadow in the junior class. His name is Franklin Thies and he hailed from Shelby, Iowa. Frank's favorite sports are basketball and football and he likes to bowl. His favorite kind of music is popular music, but he has no favorite song. He also likes to sing. There's one thing about him that is remarkable! He has no pet peeve. When he graduates from high school, he plans to take up aviation. CONFERENCE PRESS MEETS AT MT. AYR Ideas for School Papers Discussed By Group School press correspondents from four of the six Blue Grass Conference schools met at Mount Ayr last Tuesday to the first Blue Grass Press Association meeting of the year. Lamoni, Leon, Mount Ayr and Corydon were represented at the meeting of the association, which was started and organized last year. In 1941 the group sponsored exchange programs, but after a delay the first semester and the war, resulting in tire shortage, the plan was abandoned. The plan of exchanging annuals was suggested; and Mount Ayr, Leon and Lamoni agreed to do so if the plan is approved further. A committee of underclassmen, a boy and a girl from each school, was appointed to maintain the workings of the group for next year. Margaret Condit is chairman of the committee. The members got an idea of the journalism and school paper services and problems of the schools in their discussion. A number of ideas were obtained in this discussion. GAA NAMES STAR CAGE SEXTETS The Girls Athletic Association has had a number of basketball games this season. The varsity and sub-varsity teams were chosen at a meeting held Wednesday, March 4, 1942.

LAMONI STOPPED BY CORNING FOES IN DISTRICT, 26-24 Score Tied 10-10 At Half of First District Game In Lamoni's first district game in history, Lamoni's Demons lost a hard-fought, close decision to Corning Red Raiders by a 26-24 score. The Lamoni team as the underdog won the admiration of the crowd as to part of the game they made the opponents play the kind of game they wanted to play. Corning in most games is a fast-break, flashy outfit, but in this game the entire Lamoni team made it a slow game. Lamoni looked the better team through parts of the contest, but in the end the Red Raiders proved the better team of that night. In their hard try to upset Corning, the Demons went after rebounds like Demons and all evening outjumped their taller adversaries. the Demons truly were glorious in defeat on their "off" night. Lamoni started the scoring as Payton dumped in a free-throw for a 1 to 0 lead. Corning sank three set-ups and went into the lead as the first quarter ended 6 to 2 with the favor going to Corning. The Demons had their best luck in the second period as they outscored the Red Raider foes 8 to 4. The local quintet after clicking nicely for the second quarter period tied Corning with a 10 to 10 scoreboard reading at the end of the first half. Howard, Loving, Payton, Bartlett and Robinson started to click again as the cagers sifted through the Corning defense for 7 points. Lamoni defense allowed Corning to jump ahead by an 18 to 17 score as the third period ended. Lamoni came back into the game with a 19 to 18 lead but it faded, and the Demons never regained the lead. As the final minute rolled up, Corning held a good four point lead. Loving sank Lamoni's final basket of the season to trail by two points. As the final whistle sounded, Loving shot a long last try which proved no good. Corning topped the Lamoni Demons 26 to 24 in the finals for the Demons. FIFTEEN BOYS WORK ON MODEL PLANES Boosters Club and Bank Help with Supplies About 15 industrious junior and senior high boys have concluded nearly two weeks of hard work on the models of airplanes for the government. Plans for 30 planes have been received and work has been started on most of them. None of the planes are finished, but a few are near completion. To complete the unit of 50 planes will take a lot of hard work according to the blisters and marks on the boys. Besides the 30 planes now here, another set of 20, and another set of plans for 10 planes, will be dispatched to Mr. Kelley, Superintendent. [illegible] will be painted black, so that they will be like silhouettes. He announced that the State Bank of Lamoni and the Boosters Club are donating money to help buy the wood. Other organizations are being contacted for support of the program. Through The Grades The fifth grade has been making courtesy posters to celebrate "Courtesy Week."
