BOYS’ ATHLETICS BASKET HA LI, Basketball was the first sport that Westwood High School took up this year and it proved a great success. We didn't win all the time. w« didn't lose all the time, but we learned all th time the meaning of good sportsmanship and “fair and aquaro play,” and the value of athletics for Its own sake. By working with the boys for several weeks, Mr. Noyes was able to develop two fairly good teams, one of 120 pounds and one un- limited team. The 120-pound team played very few games but lots of good material was found for the first team iu tho coming years. Harry Mitchell was elected captain by the first team at thu beginning of the season, but he soon left school. Fred Nlepoth was then elected and held tho position for the rest of tho season. Lawrence Hemlcr and Bill Corbett acted as suc- ceeding captains of the weight teams. The first game for the lights” was with Green- ville. They showed there that they knew their stuff” by beating them by a score of 15 to 14. The Greenville boys were willing to come back for more u few weeks later, but this tirno the Westwood boys outclassed them and gained an easy victory of 20 to 0. Because of the difiiculty of making arrangements the third game was not played. Tho unlimited team’s first game was also witn Greenville. The floor was smaller than we were accustomed to, but our boys were able to keep from going through the walls. We won tho gamo, however, by a 35-26 wore.

PAGE TEN GIRLS’ ATHLETICS. DRAMATICS, Girls’ Athletics WESTWOOD VS. GKKXYILLK W. II. ». :»l—G. II. S. IT The Ural basketball game of the season 14 usually lire one about which there is the least speculating. We think wo know what our teams call do. hut we don’t know what they will do when put to the test, and so eagerly await rofcrec’s whistle which tells us that the hall is in the air and the game is on. This year the Urat game held au additional Interest Tor us. Our teams had been invited to compete with the Greenville high school teams at Greenville. This was the llrst time w.- had had any competition with our neighbors in Indian Valley. We understood that there were to be two boys' games and two girls' games, and so one Saturday afternoon machines carrying some fifty or sixty Westwoodltes start- ed out. When we arrived wo found two boys' teams and one girls' team awaiting us. llut when we karnod that there wore only ten girls enrolled in the school we were unanimous in our expression of admiration for the pep and spirit that played no small part in tho organization of a team of which any school would be proud. After tho games refreshments were served and dauclug followed At midnight wo started home and brought with us the promise that the Green- ville teams would be our guests in the near future. WESTWOOD vs. McAKTUUR V. 11. S. 15—F. It H. S. lO Our next game was with McArthur aud was played at Kail River Mills. Tho Westwood teams left home at about 10:00 a. at., and although some cars mistook cow trails for roads in one or two instances, they dually all checked in a; McArthur at about 3 o'clock that afternoon. At flvo o'clock the welcome sound of the dinner bell brought tho crowd to life. When tne second »,«■' rang a few minutes later a perfect attendance at the dining hall was recorded. The games wore played that evening. Alter a hard fought game our girls Unally emerged with a victory by the very narrow margin of live poiuls. After the game a splendid banquet was served and at this time many plans were made for future games. The following morning several partios visited the Pitt River Power Plant No. 1 and other points of intorcst before starting on the roturn trip. When we were ready to leave considerable discussion arose concerning the route to be taken. Our boys' second team hud a game sched- uled with Blebor that ulght and a good many vere anxious to be among those present and givo the boys some support. Miss Neill and her ••gang” decided to return by tho shorter road, while the rest voted to prolong their trip. Al- though the latter did not get to bed until the following morulng most of them can say that they arrived tho same day they started. We were disappointed is not being able to en- tertain the McArthur teams this year but are look- ing forward to meeting them in Westwood next season. Unsettled weather and the illness of st-uie members of the McArthur teams made a return game impossible. WESTWOOD vs. GREENVILLE W. 11. S. —G. H. S. 14 This was our first game at home and due to the fact that we bad to call the first game at seven instead of eight o'clock In the evening we did uot have our usual crowd. We are planning on making some different arrangements next year for we cannot afford to lose any gate receipts. Our girls were again victorious but not with- out a hard struggle. At tho end of the first half Greenville was leading but in the second half our team played some real basketball and began to score and carried off the game by a margin of eight points. WESTWOOD vs. LASSEN HIGH W. II. S. 4—L. I’. If. 8. 18 Next on the II-1 was the first gamo wRn Lassen. It was played at Susauville and resulted In u very decisive victory for our rivals. Iu spite of the thoroughness of our defeat the game was a very exciting one. Our team was able to hold them to a tie score during the first hull, but from then on it was Lassen's game. Super- ior individual playing and excellent team work told the tale and when the final whistle blew tho game was theirs by 11 points. After the game, refreshments, consisting A cider and doughnuts, were served and a dance was held in the High School Gymnasium. About twelve o’clock we returned home without the game, but with a firm determination to give a better account of ourselves in the return game which was to be played at Westwood two weeks later. WESTWOOD vs. ( KDAKVH.LE W. II. S. II—Ceditrville i Odarville was the second addition to our list of athletic rivals. The game had lo be played li the high school gymnasium which is a most uu satisfactory basketball court. Hut this was our only chance to play Cedarvllle and we could not afford lo miss the opportunity. The game was anybody’s right up until the last whistle blew and the victory was all the more appreciated. WESTWOOD vs. MOIMX: W. 11. 8. 5—M. 17...H. 8. 14 We are always glad to welcome the Modoc teams and this year was no exception. AHer playing a hard game with Lassen they journeyed to Wesiwood after bacon and got it by nine points. It's getting to be sort of a habit with them, but we're not yet convinced that wo can’t beat them. Lood out. Modoc! We’re rarin' to go! We’re going to have to play two games In one next year in order to make up for the re- turn game we couldn’t give you this year. WESTWOOD vs. LASSEN HIGH W. II. S. 11—L. U. II. S. 137 Once more we matched our skill with that of Lassen and once more we went down to defeat, tii.i time by a score of 11 to 27. The Lassen teams brought a good sized rooting section with them which was the subject of much favorable comment. Come again, Lassen—Hie more the merrier. We won't let you have the gamo If we can help It. but we’ll provide a pluce for your rooters and they'll have many opportunities to try out their voices. This was the last game of what wc consider, in spile of several defeats, a most successful sea- son for our girls' basketball team. We're look- ing forward to meeting you all again next year and may the best team win. GIRLS' INTKR-4'LASS MASKKTI1ALL Soon after wc had played our last interschool game our Senior-Sophomore and Junior-Fresh men oluss teams were organized. A three-game schedule was arranged, the team winning two games to be awarded the girls interclass basket- ball trophy. The teams were very evenly matched and the games most exciting, especially the last one which docided the series, each team having won one game. The final game was takeu by the Junior-Freshman team and with U the Inter- class trophy. Dramatics Our first dramatic venture of this year came rather late. Our school is so small that we al- most have to take our activities in succession and athletics occupied all the first semester. We wero very pleased with the two little skits, ”Zc Modern English,” and The Economical Boom- erang. presented under the direction of Mrs. Graham for the meeting of the Parent Toachern Association on March fourth. They were well worth waiting for. The cast for Ze Modern F.nglish was as follows: Ralph Random..................Stanley Davis Marquis dc Trouville .... Hugh Adams Tom Fen'-hurch........Harry Wilkinson Mrs. Random......................Ruth Jensen Envy, hfr daughter..............Dorya Drake Marie de Trouville..Josephine Peaslee Ralph Random, while in France, lias taught English to the marquis but it is English of the sluugiesl sort. The marquis has taught his duughler, Marie, the same sort of English. Ralph is engaged to Marie, but when she aud her father visit Ralph in America their slang shocks all Ralph's friends. The young man fears the marquis will break the engagement when be learns the trick played on him. Ralph’s sister saves him by suggesting that the American lan- guage changes rapidly and that the murquis and Marie would better learn it again. This quiets Ralph’s fears and he and Marie go on with tholr plana for marriage. Tlie other skit, The Economical Boomerang.” wus ulso very cleverl presented. The cast was: Mr. Dabblelon.............Stanley Davis Mrs. Dabbieton..............Rulli Jensen Maggie, the Servant ...Leona Summers Mrs. Bird Plover................Marjorie Brown Mr. Bird Plover..................Vincent Felion The Doctor.................Floyd Meyers Mr. Dabbloton's plea for economy induces his wife t attempt her own dressmaking. She uses her husband as a figure for draping, and while thus engaged, callers outer unannounced. They think Dubbleton is crazy. The doctor says so. Maggie, the servant, helps it on. and everything Dabbieton does confirms it. After a trying ex- perience Mr. Dabbieton decides that it would In- better to hire a dressmaker so that his peace of mind may be preserved. •TOME Ol'T OF THE KITCHEN Come Out of tho Kitchen,” a comedy by A. K. Thomas, from the story by Alice Duer Miller, is lo be given by the Student Body at the Audi- torium soon. The east follows: Olivia Daingerlleld................Dory Drake Burton Crane......................

Due to financial embarrassment tho children decide to rent their mansion to a rich northerner. Burton Crane. Crane is very particular that white servants be in the house, so the Dalngerllelds wire to Washington for sonic. At the last minute u telegram is rocoivcd that the servants can not come. At Olivia's sugges- tion the Dalngerflelds decide to ini personati the servants until more can be obtained. Many amusing complications follow, when all the rqen fall in love with Olivia, who is masquerading as cook. As always, the play ends In the wedding of the hero and heroino, who live happily ever after. Rehearsals are going smoothly, with plenty of pep. as a result of the excellent coaching of Mrs. Jayne. ADgeline Peterson has been appointed prop- erty mistress. Fred Nlepoth and Kenneth Lofstedt arc stage managers. The business manager is Jack Hewitt. The Game of Life There's always a future before you, And a past that lies behind. But the only thing for you to do. Is to keep your future In mind. For time Is like a moving stream. Never waiting for you. It does not pay to sit and dream. Just go right ahead and do. Tho' many times you are weary. And are ready to give up the game. Just smile and act really cheery. And you'll win both fortune and fame. —G. L. ’26.
