The high point men were: Harold Dreyer, Iay Palmer, Eddie Wascher, and Ioe Koch. The heavyweights won 2 games and los-t 6. The lightweights won 6 and lost 2. The football teams had good material and a high degree of team work this year. Four games were won and two lost. The success of the season far exceeded the expectations of the team members. Iay Palmer deserves a vote of thanks for his splendid efforts. Much enthusiasm was created by our boxing tournament. Fans filled the gym to enjoy this sport. The year has been a busy one and the boys enjoyed their varied program with Coach Myers. ' This was the third year that "Doc" Miller has been elected captain of the tumbling squad, an honor well de- served by him. The team put on several splendid programs of pyramid building and tumbling. Robert Miller Capt.

To start the year right a group of girls went out to Maroon Field to play hockey. Although no formal games were played, they had a great deal of fun. Volleyball was enjoyed by all. Hazel Lind and Ethel Davis captained some snappy games. Basketball was a great sport which was greeted with much enthusiasm. The able captains, Colette Beal, Ger- aldine Voltz, and Betty Brown, had teams which were always ready to try their skill at winning. . The girls and their captain, Hazel Lind, organized a tumbling team which showed cleverness and talent. Baseball and horseshoe tournaments proved to be very exciting and- interesting for everybody. One of the most popular events of the year was a course of six ballroom dancing classes which were attended by one hundred students. They were sponsored by the Girls' Athletic Department which is under the direction of Miss Geister. l20l K MUSIC Band Orchestra Glee Clubs See deep enough and you ser' n11zs1'rfulIy,' fhv henrf of 'nature bring vzwrywherc' nzusi if you ran only I'f'IIl'h, if.-CARLYLE. 1211 ABBOTT SCHOOL ORCHESTRA LEILA MARIE BARLOW, Conductor ORGANIZATION President ................... ..... ...,. .

Vivian Lind acted as a stenographer for Emerson Mason, a gray-haired busi- ness man. Monica Hickey, an office girl, had to put up with the grumbling of Albert Wenzel, a lazy, care-free office boy.
