IZIECUEIQDQS LLLLLLL 44.4. BASKETBALL In this year's basketball season McFarland High had everything to gain and nothing to lose. We had no cup to defend, as in football, and were not so disappointed in experiencing a succession of defeats. In spite of the fact that we took no honors, most of the boys enjoyed the season and profited by a great A TEAM Although the A's were defeated in all their games, they played to many close scores, especially with our friends from Shafter. The experience gained during the past season will undoubtedly help turn out a winning team next year, as only two of the players, Earl Higginbotham and Lawerence Huddleston, are graduating. b deal of experience. HB and uc TEAM 4 The B and C teams will remain intact, except for the loss of two players, George Perry, who played his First year of basketball as a junior and who was this year the star player of the B team, will graduate, and Barnes has left the school. It appears that athletics in our high school, like the depression, have reached their lowest ebb and are now improving steadily. XYe must not be impatient in this period of building because our teams do not take a great many honors. VVe should rather do our best to aid in the training of a team of the future which shall, through its accomplishments, put McFarland High on the map. E. H.-'33 TENNIS AND T RACK Although not as much interest is shown in track and tennis as in other sports sponsored by the student body, they were quite prominent this year. Our representatives made a yery commendable showing in the contests in which they participated. The tennis team consisted of Paul Wiirt and Frank Braniger, who played doubles together, and Ernest Reisinger and Leon Roome, who played singles. Although our teams took no honors in the tournament held at Maricopa they made a very good showing and will, in all probability, win some honors next year. The track season consisted of two meets: one, a practice meet held at Bakersfield, and the other. an official Sierra League meet. which was held at Wasco. Those placing in the Wasco meet were: Newby, second place in the foot- ball throwg Regan, third place in the A class pole vault: Reed, third place in the A class shot put: lVeaver, third place in the B class pole vault: Bean, third place in class C pole vault: and Curtis. first in the quarter mile and in the hop, skip, and jump. E NIGHT BALL Our High School night ball team, although made up of less-experienced playershthan those of last year, has a good chance to win the home town League Championship. Although not so successful in the Sierra League, the boys hope tohmake it up at the town team's expense. The lineup is: D. Vlleayer, c.: P. Wlirt, 3 b.g V. Swan, r.s.g C. Reed, l. s.: H.

W ,,,,....,,.r.,A.r.r...,.,,,rr,,,,.....,w. ,Treasurer The purpose of this organization is to foster the physical and social develop- ment of each girl, to give girls an opportunity for leadership, and to promote good sportsmanship in the school activities. Our physical education program includes four main sports-basketball, volley ball, baseball, and hockey. Hockey was a new sport introduced last year, but it was not used as a point sport until this year. Some of the other opportun- ities for winning points are provided by, tennis, quoi-tennis, badminton. hikes, and taking part in the carnival. All of these points go for awards. Each girl making six hundred points per year receives a felt letter. XVhen she obtains her third letter she receives a G. A. A. gold pin. Our social program included a mother-daughter party, a japanese dinner, and a German dinner. Fine leadership has also been shown in our weekly meet- ings, the carnival. the parties, and the dinners. Very commendable work was done in the planning and execution of our play day, in which approximately six hundred students participated. VVe also had several money-making enterprises in order to make possible the successful functioning of our organization. Besides the dinners and carnival already mentioned we sold noon lunches. So you see we played together, had fun together, and learned the value of teamwork together-all of which made possible for us n very successful year. THE LETTER SOCIETY Beulah Phillips ,e.,......e,,. H e..ie,,si,,se.,,, .. ..,,.,.....,,..........s.......................,,.. Leader Our Girl's Letter Society is composed of members of the G. A. A. who have won a felt letter HM. This is awarded them after they have proved themselves outstanding in athletics by earning at least 600 points. The points are won by participating in the various sports, by being a captain, by being an officer. or by going on group hikes of five miles or more. As an organization the society has not had any definite program, as it has been incorporated with the G. A. A., but the girls hope to have a peppy club of their own to tell you about in the next Recuerdos. y 4 ' B. P.-'35 136-
