Athletics Girls’ Alumni Game The Girls’ High School team, consisting of Adeline Kopansky and Vera Parker, centers; Edna Caswell and Esther Miller, guards; Mary Emily Ranney and Irene Tidey, forwards, was defeated by the Alumni girls December 17 in the High School Gymnasium by one point, 17 to 16. The Alumni team, girls who had won great honors for G. H. S. in the past, as usual, showed good form. Marguerite Norton and Vera Van-dervere played forwards and did exceptionally good work, taking into consideration that they have not practiced this year. Ruth Tidey and Dorothy Black did their part as guards. Ruby Sage, a former basketball coach, played as usual, while Merle Skroder was as quick as ever. It was a great treat for the high school students to again see the old stars back in line and to welcome them to G. H. S. once more. The H. S. girls are very anxious to challenge them again, and of course, feel that they could turn the score around. This game was the first played this year by the girls, two of them playing their first public game. Several of the more experienced plavers were unable to take part. Much enthusiasm and good spirit was shown and all felt that the girls had a good backing in which to start their basketball season. G. H. S. vs L. H. S. Greenville won the first game of the season by defeating Lakeview on our own floor. Gordon and Perkins have their old-time speed and when they got the ball a score was certain. Burkholder played guard. Silverthorn showed up well; this is his first year on the team. Vining made four fouls in the first half and Decker finished the game in good style.

Greenville made the first basket but Lakeview overcame the lead and kept going ahead, the first half ending in Lakeview’s favor by a score of 11 to 7. Greenville lost Gordon in the second half and Xelson was put in. They also lost McCreedy towards the end of the last half and Vining was substituted. Every player had at least two fouls on him at the end of the game. The game ended with a score of 24 to 14 in Lakeview’s favor. Greenville’s Lineup Gordon, L. F. Silverthorne. L. G.-L. F.

The “Midgets” showed fast team work. The Eighth grade deserves credit, for they had had very little practice this year.

Athletics (Continued) High School vs Alumni Greenville High School won a fast and hard fought game from the Almuni of the city. Tidey and Slawson, two of our best last year players were on the tloor with the Alumni. Fowler and Christensen played good at forward but as they have not practiced together the playing was individual. Dickerson, with the aid of Slawson, kept the High School score quite low. Perkins and Gordon had their old-time speed and kept the ball between the most of the time. Decker and Tidey jumped nearly even but Tidey had a little advantage. Burkholder and Silverthorne kept the Alumni forwards working all the time. High School Perkins, R. F. Gordon, L. F. Burkholder, R. G. Silverthorne, L. G. Vining, Sub. Sherwood, Sub. Decker, C.

Exchanges As this is the first issue of the Tyro, we have no exchanges, but hope to receive several next month. The staff is aiming to give the school a good paper and as many suggestions may be found in the exchanges we would greatly appreciate any which may be received. We also wish for criticism of our efforts and hope it will be given where due. As some of the H. S. pupils do not understand the purpose of this department, the editor thought it might be wise to say a few words regarding it. Many High Schools in the United States have school papers, and as one might gain something from another, this department was started. The exchanges which the Tyro may receive will be placed on one of the library reading tables for the benefit of all. Address al exchanges to Exchange Ed., The Tyro.
