The girls were speedy on the floor and played a good brand of basketball. Though we lost a few games, the scores were always close and the issue in doubt until the last few minutes of play. Miss Newcomb coached the girls faithfully and ably. She taught us to be good sports as well as basketball players. The girls appreciate her time and work put in. 31 25 i □ Fane Twenty-four

The number of men reporting was not up to an ideal condition, for our squad was practically cut to six men. In spite of this fact, the above schedule will convince us all that numbers do not count, but quality, speed and true sportsmanship leads to victory. We need not introduce Coach Person further than to mention his name. We do not know his secret for the handling of boys, but through some unmistakable ability he has been able to bring out individual material and to captivate the admiration of all his boys. 19 2 5 Page Twenty-three

THE BEAVER THE GIRLS TEAM BEULAH SMITH (Captain) Always loyal to the team and school and could be depended upon. She took turns at guard and center, playing brilliantly in both positions. Beulah has four years of Basketball to her credit and the High School certainly will miss her next year. DELLA NELSON (Forward) A jolly good sport and a wizard at shooting goals. She has done admirable work in the past two years and still has another year. We wish her well. ZODA NELSON (Forward) Zoda and Della made a good pair of goal shooters. Zoda was always right there when guarding too. During her three years of Basketball she has done much toward developing comradeship among the girls and a stronger feeling of loyalty toward the school. We are sorry to lose her. MABEL DECKER (Guard) A willing worker always doing her best. This is her first year of regular playing as well as her last. Another loss to the High School. ELEANOR NELSON (Guard) Her fighting spirit helped keep her opponent from scoring. This is her first year but she showed wonderful possibilities. Eleanor has another year in High School. FERN ROBBER ES (Guard) This was Fern’s first year in athletics but in spite of that fact showed up good. Unfortunately this is her last year. NETTIE STOUTE (Center) Another one who made a good showing in one year. Though she did not get many chances to show her ability she did well. This is also her last year. DAISY HERMSMEIER (Guard) Her defensive playing often made the opposing forward resort to long shots as their only means of scoring. It was not her fault when her opponent got the ball. Daisy will have two more years to develop her athletic ability. Those who are leaving have only best wishes for next year’s girls’ Basketball team. We’ll all be back on the side lines supporting our old High School. 19 2 5 Page Twenty-firt
