Evergreen High School - Forester Yearbook (Seattle, WA)

Page 87 text:

At the close of the season, Evergreen said good- bye to the Lakeside conference and it's teams. Up to now, Evergreen has lacked a senior class. Next year, however, the Wolverines will represent a full three year high school, thereby making them eligible for competition and standing in the powerful Puget Sound League. The Wolverines gained a great portion of the much needed experience for Pugent Sound League com- petition by competing against Lakeside League teams. This experience was necessary if we of Evergreen expect to have a successful season next year. Competition against powerful and experienced senior high teams came early for the Wolverines. We started as a member of the Lakeside League while our highest class was sophomores. Needless to say, score- wise, the results of our first year were drastic. Winning none and losing all, the Wolverines finished the season last in the league. Even though the season was a failure in the win-loss column, it was far from dismal in spirit. The Wolverines finished the season with far more spirit than they started with. This is shown by the tre- mendous comeback in the next to the last game of the season against the Tolt Demons, league champions. The Wolverines played this team twice, losing the first by a score of forty to nothing. The second game was lost by a margin of only two points, twenty-seven to twenty-five. Comparison of scores demonstrates the obviously tremendous change in team spirit. Although greatly outweighed, the team made up for the deficit in sheer determination. ln the second, and last year of Lakeside League play, the Wolverines finished high in the pack. We lost only to the powerful Lakeside Lions. On the road to success, the Wolverines triumphed over such powerful teams as Tolt, last year's Lakeside champs, Neah Bay, a powerful visitor from the Peninsula, and Sultan. Next year we will forge ahead into the Puget Sound League with a smashing record behind us that will inspire us to be the proudest team in the league. As the Season Ends . . .
