The banquet was held in the gymnasium and was attended by over 300 people from this and surrounding communities.The guest speaker of the evening was Mr.Clark Shaughen-essy, football coach of the University of Chicago. He gave a very entertaining talk on the relationship between sports and other activities of life.

Walnut kept the trophy the first semester of 1935-36, and Wyanet the second.Any school winning it three years in a row is entitled to keep it permanently. Walnut is well on its way towards securing it two years in succession, having won at the close of the basketball season a total of 12 conference games and lost only 2.
