THE CHERADO-1924 the visitors showed excellent school spirit. The Cheraw girls all agree that they would like to play another such team. One of the nicest things connected with the girls' team last sea- son was that white coat sweaters were presented to the entire squad of ten players. Mrs. Pierce worked very hard to get these sweaters for the girls, and they are all very thankful to her. The business men of Cheraw are also to be remembered for their support. The team consisted of: Forwards, Phyllis Cole and Flossie Luginbillg Centers, Venus Basinger and Verda Rileyg Guards, Thelma Riley and Lois Switser. Subs, Helen Lewis, Iva Wade, Margaret Ree- der and Roma Luginbill. The year of 1924-1925 will not see many of these girls back'in their old places as Verda Riley, Lois Switser, Thelma Riley and Flossie Luginbill and Margaret Reeder and Iva Wade are among the gradu- ating class this year. So if new girls wish to try out for the team next year there is nothing to keep some of them, at least, from making the team. L. S.

THE CHERADO-1924 Boys' Junior High Basketball Last year the Junior High basketball team took the cup from tho other towns, and they expected to this year. There was no real team this year, and very few games were heldg there were two games with La Junta in which we won one, and lost one. The team also won from Swink. Very little practicing was done for we thought that therm- wouldn't be a tournament. On March 1st we were invited to take part in a toinafnent at Ordwayg this tournament was to be held the 8th of March. The boys selected Marshall Pitney to coach them, and with four days' practic- ing went to the tournament and won the pennant. The first game was with Manzanolag they had the advantage in men-their men all being six feet tall. At the end of the first half the score was 3-2 in our favorg then the last half with 30 seconds to go, the score was 6-5 in their favor, but Kenneth Cole made another goal and we won by a score of 7-6. Cheraw played but two games, as there was an uneven number of schools there. In the finals Cheraw played Fowlerg this game was at night. Five seconds before the game ended the score was 14-12 in favor of Fowlerg Earl Kauffman slipped in a goal from center and made a tie game. We had five minutes to play the tie offs Cheraw made two field goals and Fowler oneg this gave us the game by a score of 18-16.
