Born in July of 1933, Norma Stone Rubison is one of the oldest living MHS basketball players from the girls’ team. She graduated in 1951 and played all four years for the Monroe City Lady Panthers. Norma’s late husband, Lilburn, graduated with Jack Jones, the oldest living member of the boys’ team. Norma lives on her farm in Stoutsville, is active in St. Stephen Church at Indian Creek, and remains in excellent health. The group photo includes: (from left) Elizabeth Chatfield, Marilyn Frankenbach Tucker, Margaret Tipton Raetz; (back row) Norma Stone Rubison, Martene Shulse, Anna Marie Duesenberry Gordon.
Norma is not the oldest living female player. Any guesses as to who is?

Today, we celebrate the 1944-45 teams that played two decades after the first Monroe City Basketball Tournament. The 1944-45 girls’ team included (front row) Lucille Paris Cheek, Kathleen Delashmutt, Shorty Brower, Madeline Beckley and Mary Lou Avery; (back row) Naomi Hill Lehenbauer, LaVon Turnbull, Vern Wright Seward, Coach Williams, Mary Virginia Moss and Martha Lee Greening. Years later Naomi Hill Lehenbauer would advertise in the tournament booklet with her specialties being "cold waves, weck rayor haircuts and machineless permanents." She had phone #13 which was no indication of her long, lucky career in the business world.
