Today, we salute a Korean war veteran Jack Jones of Monroe City, the oldest living male MHS basketball player.
In 1950, Jones was drafted into the U.S. Army and served in the 48th Field Artillery during the Korean conflict. Ten days before he left for Korea, he married Elsie Baker, a Center, Mo. school teacher who went on to teach junior high English in Monroe City for many years. Jack has two living sons, David and Steve, and lost his beloved son, Kevin.
The January 1946 Monroe City News reported that Jones scored 5 points in the victory over McCooey High School. Other MHS scorers on the second team included Ralph Davis, 8; Dick Carr, 7; J.W. Smith and Ralph Crow, 6; and Bob Shoemaker, 2. First team members were Billy Johns with 21 points and Kenneth “Hot Shot” Tuley with 10 to lead the way in the 55-30 victory over McCooey. MHS players in the 1944-45 team photo were
(front row) Jack Raetz, Billy Joe Harrison, Dick Carr (grandfather of MHS cheerleader sponsor Beth Carr and great-grandfather of MHS senior Gage Woolen) Jack Jones, Billy Johns; (back row) Pete Greening, Buddy Crabtree, Kenneth (Hot Shot) Tuley, J Smith and Coach Williams.
The News also gives us insight into sadder events of the time, including a picture of Army PFC Ivan Ray Walkup, a Stoutsville resident, who was reported missing in action. The paper also gives the local ration numbers for sugar, gasoline and tires.

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?
