Evidence that interest among students sufficient to gain the support of the Athletic Department was noticed at the beginning of the school term. Later on a boxing team was organized, which under the direction of Coach D. Lien and boxers W. Aronson and Wf Cillespie has developed nicely. ln examining the outcome of the different engagements of our boxing team, which occurred during the course of the season, we find that the season was begun by having a match with Webster, to be followed shortly by a return match at Amery. Webster won the majority ofthe bouts of the first and Amery in the latter. Then after hard weeks of training the team clashed with St. Croix Falls, which resulted in another victory for the Amery team. ln the course of a few weeks a match was arranged xx ith Somerset to be held at Amery. The Amery team lost the majority of the bouts. The last home engagement of the season was with St. Croix lralls, and was won by the local fighters.

Nlanager Basketball The championship tournament went against us by the loss of our first game 19-i 2 to Ellsworth. That put our team into the consolation group. Our first consolation game was played with Fredric. The 2l'3O victory was important for it meant a chance at the one remaining team to beat. St Croix defeated us in the conference and the fans were sure they could do it again. We hnally put them away with 30-21 victory and emerged consolation champions. Opponents Clayton .,.,, ..i,., ....

The Girls' Athletic Association was formerly called the Peptomaniacs, but changed to its present title in the fall of 1935. Its purpose is to provide an outlet for any athletic ambitions the girls may possess. The instruction is not compulsory for all girls in high school, but instead has a membership of approximately seventy girls. Tennis, kittenball, and baseball have been the sports of main interest during the fall and spring season, and basketball and volleyball during the winter months. It has been necessary to divide the girls into two groups, those from the country and those from town thus giving each one a chance to participate. Practices for the country girls have been from 3 :1 5 to 4 :oo and those for town girls in the evening. The officers for the year 19301937 are: President, Gloria Christensong Vice- President, Gertrude Morrisson, Secretary, Shirley Cornwall. Miss johnson was coach the first half of the year and Miss Klimeck the last half. Page 35
