Probably the reason for sneh favoritism is the success of former baseball teams turned out by the sehool.

SENIOR ANNUAL 1927 71 , . Boys Tennis - This is the first year' that tennis has been added to the list of sports at llainhurg High School. Last year, Marshall Learn was the winner of a silver loving cup as a result of his victory in the boys' tennis competition. However, the tennis stars of the school indulged in no interscholastic competition. This year, tournaments will he arranged with other high schools in the vicinity of Hamburg. Since the interest of many students is attracted by this sport, there is no reason why a good tennis team cannot be formed by the boys of Hamburg High School. ,VVith such stars as the llearn brothers and Vklilliam Dugan, Hamburg will be able to compete with 'in ' neie'hbor'nfr hi0'h s-hool tennis,.,team. rs fd 2: la ca L Marshall Learn is the manager ot the 1927 boys' tennis team. As yet no captain has been chosen trom among the team members. Girls' Tennis Last spring, in llamlnirg High School, interest was shown in tennis, when Miss Konesik suggested a team. So, after all the girls interested in the sport played olt a tournament, the six who proved themselves tl1e most apt with the racquet were othcially announced as the Girls' Tennis Team of '26, They immediately brought more honor and glory to Hamburg High School by defeat- ing East Aurora, in a tournament, and Ubringing home the haeoni' in the shape of a cup. which was ottered by the two schools, jointly. Such a good beginning in a good sport is not to be abandoned. Early in March, 1927, the girls interested in tennis were again summoned before Miss Konesilc to arouse spirit and we are told, this year tennis will come into its own as a major sport. Already the girls have elected their captain and manager in the persons of -loyee Higgins and Frances Huttner, ixspectively. Manager Rultner has taken over responsibilities and is corresponding with other schools concerning a tournament between the schools in this part of the country and the possibilities of another cup.
