CLA €? GIRLS’ ATHLETICS Directed by Miss Hankins and Miss Benson, the girls started this year’s work with volley ball practice. This was continued through the first semester. Due to lack of time, no tournament was held, much to the disappointment of the girls. Each of the girls, however, received their points to help secure their letters. At the beginning of the second semester, basketball was taken up, the tournament being held in April. The girls then participated in track and baseball for the remainder of the year. Some of the Senior girls by their diligence earned their athletic letters this year. Our Freshman team was challenged by the Junior High girls to contests in both volleyball and basketball. Each time they have come out victorious. Back Row (Left to Right): A. Kerns, L. Decker, F. Johnston, G. Carpen- ter, C. Schroeder, R. Tuttle, C. Skelton, E. Stock, H. Jefferies, R. Sturtevant, M.

CLA S S BASKETBALL SEASON OF “30’ The Basketball team of W. H. S. for “1930” ended the season with a record to be praised for sportsmanship and clean playing. Berry and Chester Kline (regular guards) proved to be the nucleus about which was woven both a good offence and defense. The fast and fighting forward wall composed of Captain Lester Kline at center with Scriven and Hummel at forwards looked very forbidding to opponents! early in the season, but was later weakened by the loss of Hummel, who was put out for the season by a fractured knee. A very dependable reserve corp was found in Woolstrum, Butler, Ditton, Steckman, Emerick, Theobald, and Jones. Emerick received a broken finger in his first game and was unable to return to the squad. The rest of the boys remained with the squad the entire season and whenever given the chance proved that they could play aggressive and consistent basketball. Out of this squad Scriven, Woolstrum, Theobald, and Jones remain to form a basis for a strong 1931 quintet. Back Row (Left to Right): Relph Lofton, Chester Kline, Ray Scriven,! Amos Beery, Donald Hummel, Edgar Ditton, Ronald Emerick, Ivan Butler, Lester Kline, Jack Woolstrum, Glen Olson. Bottom Row: Dale Theobald, Doral Steckman, Charlie Jones, Walter An- derson, George Freeland, Kennett Kitt, Bruce Resler, Byron Ditton and Cletis Davis. Thirteen

“W” CLUB The “W” Club was organized with the intention of promoting in all ways and at all times the best interests of high school athletics. With this thought in mind, we must consider the chief aims of athletics, which we believe to be the development of such basic qualities as courage, determination, co-operation, self-control, and that almost indefinable thing which we call sportsmanship. Our aim is not only to promote better athletics, but that we might better ourselves in Forensics and also scholastic abilities. Students receiving the letter “W” must have earned it in any of the following: Football, Basketball, Track, 650 points in Girls’ Athletics, Debate, Oratory, Declamatory, Static Staff, Cheer Leader or in Scholarship. Motto: “Success.” Back Row (Left, to Right) : Faye Johnston, Corinne Higley, Irma Judd.
