Miss Beez- ley received the trophy for the school from Al Motley and Mr. Keating started the ball rolling for a special train. For the next few days the office resembled a railroad ticket office more than a school. Wednes- day afternoon there was a rally at which Mr. Keating and Mr. Seikman gave talks. The school was keyed up for this one. The team was ready and anxious to get another crack at Prep. The students had their tickets bought and were impatient for Thursday and the start of the tournament. A large group of Tiger fans came back later to see the team off and wish them well. .7fwMdfUf-- ,t .Iuzco ' s s , V. ix, mfn, Maj 6, -i1,ff-gff, ,Lf llldftf. ,I I V t,,4Vj4J, 7,A,j:-., ffwtfif.
