AURORA BOREALIS FOOTBALL Although Aurora did not have a championship team this year, they did have one of the scrappiest teams they have ever known. The sportsmanship throughout the year was excellent and deserves commendation. The hoys fought hard and played clean hall. The team trained well, and under the coaching of Mr. Joseph Day, the hoys fought their way almost to a championship, being defl ated only by Golden in one of the closest games ever played in the Suburban League, the score being seven to six. In Aurora’s last game of the season she tied Arvada, with a score of twelve to twelve, thus tying with them also for second place. The games were well supported by the townspeople, faculty, and the student body. The enthusiasm and pep shown by them helped the team attain the high place it did. The team was led by Captain Buck Burgess. A large share of the credit goes to him for his punting and passing. lie was backed up by Clyde Heed, whose tackling stopped many plays directed over our lines. Raymond Alkire and Herb Guinn strengthened the team: Hay. by his line plunges; and Herb, by his passing. On the line Homer Day and Kenneth Brown played The ends and the center of the line were held by James Garkie. Gerald Jordan, Myrkle Kehoe, John Brooks, Dolph Marley, Victor McVey, Ned Bourg, and Red Brown. The other members of the squad were: Jack Koons, Paul Garkie, Lloyd Ferguson Allan Witherel. Harold Bowman. Franklin Bessert, Earl Horner, Kenneth Jordan and Red Brazlin. The ability will show up next year, as we will lose about fifteen seniors from the squad, nine or ten of them being first stringers, and all of them being prominent in athletics. A dinner for the squad was held at the end of the season, at which Coach Lacey, of D. lT., and the other suburban coaches of the league wen-present. Aurora—J.3 Aurora—2.

AURORA BOREALIS Basket Ball This year was the first time that any Aurora team ever played under our new colors, green and white. The team got off to a slow start and were defeated h.v Golden; but they soon climbed into the upper bracket and remained there till the end of the season. They then were defeated by Arvada in one of the best games of tin season. Aurora’s team was fast and had a smooth passing attack. The basketball games were also well supimrted by the students, towns-|M ople. and faculty, our gym being full every game and the games away from home being attended nearly as well. A lot of pep and enthusiasm was worked up by our three cheer leadrs, Victor MeVy, Connie Kiernan, and Carl Lipner, assisted by the Girls’ Pep Club. Captain Burgess was placed on the All-Suburban team and Paul Garkie and Iierb Guinn made tlie second team. P. Garkie was the high point man of the leagues. The other members of the squad were: J. Garkie, Kay Alkire, Red Brown and Harold Bowman. • The school will miss the seniors that graduate, as there will be left only three on the squad: Brown. Bowman, and McCowan. On tin whole, Aurora may well be proud of her athletic teams, as it has been a great year, and we hojie next year to have as good a team. At the close of the season, a dinner was given in honor of the team, which the boys thoroughly enjoyed.
