FOR 1936 .. ' .S Opening the season, five boys made the trip to Iowa City to compete in the annual Indoor Conference Meet. These boys came home with third place in the meet behind Clinton and Davenport, who entered large squads. A sched- uled dual meet with Rock Island on the home field was postponed because of cold weather. The following week-end the two mile relay team entered the state indoor meet and placed fourth in the event, by bettering the school record by several seconds. Captain Slack, Vosberg, Specht and Barsalou formed this combination. Clinton, conference and state indoor champions won over the Red and Blue in a dual meet. Vosberg broke a school record in the javelin. In this meet two state champions were dethroned. The half-miler and sprinter who win in the state meet the week before were de- cisively beaten by Vosberg and Saun- ders. The first annual Davenport Relays found Dubuque well represented. The two-mile relay team took first, as did the sophomores in the 440 yard relay. Davenport swamped Senior 791-6 to 39 S-6 on the same day that the two- mile relay team finished sixth at the Drake Relays in the high school div. sion and bettered their own record. Monticello and Platteville were defeated in dual meets by the Senior reserves by the score of and 79 1-6 to S01-6 respectively. At the Clinton Gateway Classic Senior scored ten points to tie for twelfth place in the meet. The Sprint Medley Relay team, which placed second bet- tered the state record by three seconds. A fourth place in the 220 yard clash netted Dubuque its other points. Travelling to Freeport for the first dual meet away Senior came back with a draw 61-61.

GIRL ' PGRT Increased interest in girls' activities was shown at Senior this year by the formation of a drill team. Forty-eight girls chosen from the student body by an eliminative marching contest made up this organization. In red corduroy jackets with brass but- tons and red berets, this group performed at three football games and one basketball game. The girls of Senior participate in no inter-scholastic athletics. However, intra-mural sports receive considerable attention. The 10a girls played in a home room basketball tournament. A vol- leyball tournament was held among the winning gym class teams, and a baseball league composed of teams from the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes was formed. Every spring girls' singles and doubles tennis tournaments are sponsored on the school courts. Any girl interested is eligible to enter. School champions are determined by these contests. Points for three types of athletic awards may be earned by par- ticipation in various sports. A local Girls' Athletic Association emblem is given for 150 points. For a school numeral S00 points are required, while for an additional 500, a state Girls' Athletic Association pin may be won. Feminine tennis devotees paused to indulge in a bit of HOH. Miss Kretsch- mer didn't look at the birdie for this Winchell shot. A wheel formation in the main routine of the girls' drill team. Practice for the annual tennis tournament in full swing.
