B. OUR FOOTBALL TEAM h For years Van Buren has prayed for a football championship, and at last gained it by sheer force of will, and the untiring eltorts of Coach Chronic, But, what about next year? just because you will have a light team, is that any reason why the old school spirit cannot go on? You football men of next year, just grit your teeth, and tear into it all the harder. for practice makes perfect. and four years from now, we are expecting another championship. TO THE FUTURE STUDENTS OF V. B. VVe have new desks and seats in our schoolroom. l ask you, is it right to leave your mark of character on those desks in the form of carved images and initials? l say it is not. Those carvings may give your papers certain marks of distinction, but it surely does not add manliness. nor womanliness to the one who carved them there. OUR FACULTY VVe have one of the best High School faculties in the history of the school. Have their untiring efforts and good intentions been appreciated by us, at all times? Think this over. - --'V EIINARD DAILIC Y 4.1: 1 f .ff , f f 4. - ,ing Twenty-two

Robert Delo, Kenneth Kxihlman and Paul Huffman. lfach one made a good showing and helped to close the season as County Champions. 'l'hrce of our girls played basketball: Laura Uverholt, Iileanore Poole, and Lt-ota Overholt. Our class has tive violinists and one cornetist in the orchestra.
