Aurora Trojans opened the 1034 35 sport cam pa inn with a new coach. T'pon the resignation of Joe Day, who had been appointed in the High School at Kedando Beach, California. Ted Anderson was appointed coach. GYM This year gymnasium was put back into the school, for both boys and girls, after its removal two years earlier. It has created much physical development and hygienic learning on the part of the students. Many excellent phases of sports, including tumbling and tap dancing, were studied in the girls division of this required subject. These gymnastic activities were enjoyed by every girl and added to their knowledge as well. The learning of the girls gym class was exhibited on the 10th of May. Athletic letters were presented at that time to girls having earned them by their untiring efforts to learn and by taking part in the majority of the gymnastic activities. TRACK The Aurora High School team, under the direction of Coach Anderson, participated in track for the first time in several years. The track team participated in two track meets: one at Brighton, and the other at Golden. Creditable showings were made at both meets. I.ouis Williams took second place in conference scoring, and was picked on the second all-conference team. FOOTBALL Only six lettermen reported for football. The rest of the squad was made up of small, inexperienced players. Coach Anderson was forced to place a team on the field made tip of members whose weight did not even average 14. pounds, most of whom were inexperienced. Due to these complications, Aurora was unable to win a conference game, but the team won the reputation of being the scrappiest team in the conference. Aurora gained one valuable asset through the ’34 season, and that was experience. Every player who showed promise got a chance to play, and since the team was made up mostly of freshmen, sophomores, ami juniors, the school should be able to place a championship contender on the field next year. The following earned letters: Bouton, Marle.v, Wood, Estrada, Fergu- son, Biekenbach, Andrews. Cundlin. Monroe Watts, Stillwaugh, Blauw, Thompson, Williams and Sparks. BASKETBALL Lack of experience also hampered the basketball team but great improvement was shown in the team us the season progressed. Even though the team lost more games than it won, all games were close and hard as the scores indicated. The team was composed of Marley, Estrada, Biekenbach, Cundlin, Williams, Bouton. Stillwaugh, Watts, and Boyer. INTERCLASS The school basketball championship was won by the sophomores; Indoor, by the juniors; and track, also by the juniors.
