  • Nicknames and Women Professional Baseball Players Brenda S
    Names, Vol. 38, No.4 (December) Nicknames and Women Professional Baseball Players Brenda S. Wilson and James K. Skipper, Jr. Abstract Although women in the general population tend to have fewer nicknames than men, women baseball players in the All-American Girls Baseball League, 1943-1954, were as likely as male baseball players to have public nicknames. This high percentage may be the result of women baseball players taking on the role of nicknamer, since the group in power is more likely to bestow public nicknames and more likely to bestow them on members of their own group. Public nicknames may be a reflection of the power differential between men and women in a given environment. ***** Although it is generally recognized that nicknames are an important cultural element in American society, systematic research has been sparse, and almost none of it focuses on women. In sports, nicknaming has probably been more prevalent than in other areas of American life (Blount). Professional baseball provides a rich source of data to study the use of nicknames in American society.1 Professional baseball is usually thought of as a man's activity, but in the 1940s women played in a professional league. As with men, nicknames were commonly used, and it is the objective of this report to investigate the extent of nickname use and the types of nicknames these women ball players had. The goal is to better understand the use of women's nicknames in American society. Women's Professional Baseball In 1943, Philip K. Wrigley, owner of the Chicago Cubs, created the All-American Girls Baseball League.

  • Forest Park High School Ferdinand, Indiana Volume 13 1983-84 1984 When George Orwell Picked the Year 1984 for the Title of His Book, He Picked a Gocd One
    The Tracer Forest Park High School Ferdinand, Indiana Volume 13 1983-84 1984 When George Orwell picked the year 1984 for the title of his book, he picked a gocd one. 1984 was the year of the movies Footloose and Flashdance, which had soundtracks that went high on the music chart . It was the year Kiss took off their make up for the first time. "Where's the beef?" became a popular phrase after being used in a commercial, · and Michael Jackson got burned while: filming a commercial. Forest Park students sweated it out during a late-summer heat wave, and later in the year three teachers were hurt in an accident on one of the many icy day of the winter. The Lady Rangers brought home the first ba ketball sectional crown in the school's history. Yes, 1984 was a year worth writing about. Table o.f Contents Activities 5-31 Academics 32-47 Sports 48-74 Personalities 75-116 Ads 117-136 2 3 The 1984 Tracer staff wishes to dedicate this yearbook to Kenny Chanley who died on June 19, 1983. Kenny was electrocuted while wiring a water pump for a mobile home. The mobile home was for his sister, Tina, who got married a few weeks later. He was 16 years old. Kenny will long be remembered by Forest Park stu­ dents for his friendly, good natured personality and his good sense of humor. 4 Activities 5 Marching Rangers From band camp in the summer through marching competitions, athletic events, concerts and commence­ ment exercises, the Ranger Band showed their pride and determination and came up winners.
