Norman Carlton, '33, "C.G." as he was known to his friends, won three letters each in basketball, football, and track and one in golf while at Midland Lutheran College. He was an All-Conference basketball guard for three years, the "kingpin in the play of Midland's Merry Magicians" and was also an All-Conference quarterback for two years. Norman was secretary of the "M" Club, the men's athletic fraternity. While attending Midland and participating in sports, Norman traveled back and forth from Oakland, Nebraska, to publish the Oakland Independent. After graduation, Norman continued to be involved in sports as a high school basketball referee in Northeast Nebraska, and he also played "town team" baseball in Oakland. At the time of his death in 1976, he was editor and publisher of the St. Clair County Courier in Osceola, Missouri. Norman is posthumously inducted into the Midland Warrior Athletic Hall of Fame in recognition of his tremendous accomplishments both in athletics and his professional career.
