COACH METZ ASSISTANT COACH HARRY WILSON HENDRICKSON Senior, Captain Harry was on the All State” honor roll. He was an excellent leader and used very good judgment in making decisions. Harry was a hard running back and good on defense. lHootball 1936 SCHEDULE Sargent here 0 B. B. 0 Oct. 2 Ord there 12 B. B. 0 Oct. 9 Ravenna here 0 B. B. 30 Oct. 16 St. Paul there 6 B.

B. 0 Nov. 26 When school opened in the fall of 1936, there were several lettermen back from the preceding year. They were James Sanford, Harry Wilson, Claris Myers, Don Pelkey, and Wayne Lyon. They were seniors on the squad, and they all played good games during the year. Harry Wilson was the captain of the team. There will be more lettermen back next year, so the prospects for a successful season are very promising. Those who will return are James Arnold, Claris Smith, Jesse Hagadorn, Leo Atkisson, Gale Neiswanger, Ray Reilly, Ira Stone, and Alfred Crouth. With these eight experienced players who will serve as the nucleus, and with other up-and-coming players to complete the squad, the coach expects to have a winning team next year.

I wondered what the outside would look like so I went out the north door, and found myself on the north side of the building, near the tennis court. I wasn't there long before a group of young girls (they called themselves the Pep Club ) came out in full regalia. They drilled and made some figures. Then they yelled. They have strong lungs, I would say. Miss Russom, their sponsor, told me a little bit about the organization. The Pep Club is composed entirely of senior girls. The purpose is to support the athletic teams of the school, arouse enthusiasm among the student body, and sponsor pep assemblies. They sponsored a carnival in January to help pay for their uniforms. The main show was a Ladies' Minstrel after which a Carnival Queen and King were elected, Betty Watts, and Gale Neiswanger. The officers are Mary Koozer, president, and Donnah Johnson, secretary-treasurer. The point in their yelling, I found out, was to spur the team on to victory. They yell little verses that rhyme which make the team fight harder to win. I guess that's the pep part of them. After supper I came back to the school to see if anything happened at night. There was something happening—band practice. They certainly are a good band. I didn't hear many discords all the time I was there. (I wouldn't know anyway). They have a large band, but it seemed to be well organized. I stayed until 9 o'clock and that's longer than I have ever stayed at school before. I went home feeling quite well satisfied with my second visit to the school. I wish you had been here with me. You would have enjoyed it. 1 lie Band
