Bernadine Wilzewske The Freshman Class is one of our very best from every standpoint. Its members co-operate perfectly with one another, and every inter-class contest iinds them formidable contestants. Due to their youth and in- experience in high school affairs, we do not iind them as winners of the Spirit Banner, but in all years to follow the present one, the Class of 1932 will be the pace-setter.

Dorothea Lange Secretary-Treasurer .... Bonita Myers Judging by the elaborate and painstaking initiation given the Fresh- men by the Sopohomores at the beginning of the year, we expected the Class of 1931 to be a live wire throughout the school year. Judgment erred. however, and the class lapsed into a state of blissful quietude. We again heard of them when they made 1-1 very fine showing in declam- :ztory and oratory. Page Ten

Athletics In many respects, and from all standpoints, our athletic season was one of outstanding success. Our school has always been somewhat active in Basketball, but this year our energies were more materially rewarded than they had been in the past. The treasury in connection with this sport was also in a very healthy condition. The team did so well that it was found logical to equip the team with brland new four-piece uniforms of a beautiful orange and black color scheme for next year. Track was more fully developed this year than previously. More boys took part and gained benefit from the sport. Although no foreign Eaurels were won, the boys showed excellent physical development and a very fine spirit. A great revival took place when baseball was introduced as a major activity. At the time of thi.s publication we are unable to record a single victory, but where a sport develops clean playing, good team work and conscientious attention to weaknesses, victories can be sacrificed. We look for a winning team next year. Basketball Basketball was the outstanding activity of the year. This was due to the fact that efforts in that line were more materially crowned with success than were others. A league was formed this year, of which La Valle, Cazenovia, Lime Ridge and North Freedom were members. At the close of the regular season, La Valle and North Freedom found themselves tied for first place. A game played at Reedsburg to decide this tie was won by North Freedom. The victory gave the winners a beautiful trophy which now stands in our main room. On March 21 the team went to the Reedsburg tournament where they did the most brilliant piece of work of the season. The first en- counter was with Kendall, whose six-foot team looked like winners, but soon after the whistle blew it was evident that size was no match for the North Freedom half-pint forwards. Kendall was held throughout the first half, to only one basket. Our boys succeeded in piling up twelve points. At the close of the game, the score stood in our favor, 28 to 8. On the second day of the tournament we met the exceptionally tall Norwalk team against whom all teams lost. With a center so tall that once the ball was in his possession, no one could reach it, Norwalk walked away with the tournament. We are proud to say that our team gave the Norwalk her biggest scare. They won all their games by big margins, but we came within one point of defeating them. The score stood 11-12. The personnel of the team was, forwards: E. Schara, P. Lange, A. Johnson, C. Ristaug guards, R. Griep, W. Schmidt, Center and captain, W. Schara, Coach, Mr. Goodrich. Page Twelve
