The Argyle High School football team, with Leonard Disch as captain opened their season by meeting South Wayne, the first visiting team to see action on the newly completed athletic field. The game was a thriller but when the final whistle blew, Argyle had gotten off to a great start with an impressive 26-19 win. The Homecoming game with Kohler was hard fought but they proved too powerful as they rang up a 25-13 victory over the Orioles Orfordville, the team which fell to Argyle by the top heavy score of the 1948 season marched off with an 18-13 victory, the hardest fought game of their season before winning the league championship. Probably the most memorable game of the season was played at Brodhead where raincoats and umbrellas were absolute necessities to the spectators as they watched Argyle ‘WADE’ to a 46-24 victory. Even though our boys didn’t win every game, we still feel that they did a wonderful job and always made the impression of a well coached team. John Mindermann with 78 points was high scorer for the season and was alio voted •‘The Most Valuable Player’ by his teammates. The ardent fans enjoyed every game and could always rise proudly to sing with our five peppy cheerleaders, ‘‘Fight On For Argyle High’’.

The basketball team of Argyle High School with Eugene Lane as captain finished the season with a record of fourteen wins and six losses to gain a tie for third place in the State Line League. The highlights of the season were the thrilling game with Brodhead in which Brodhead managed to ' eek ’ out a 33-32 victory, the impressive 38-34 victory against Shullsburg, champions of the Blackhawk League, and the final game of the season at Juda in which the team played sixteen minutes of absolutely perfect basketball. Captain Lane was high scorer for the Argyle Cagers with a total of 184 points in the State Line League. Argyle entered the New Glarus District Tournament and defeated Blanchard-ville 52-30. The following night they met Monticello and really gave the champs a great battle. The halftime score stood 26-20 in favor of the Orioles, but three quick baskets at the opening of the second half tied the score, and it remained nip and. tuck until the final seconds when Monticello acquired a four point lead and won the game 43-39. 'With this hard fought contest the Orioles closed the season and the Seniors completed their high school basketball career. The final game, even though we didn’t come out on top justified the cheer, ‘We’ve Got a Team, and We’re Going to Shout It , led by Ada Mae Anderson completing four wonderful years as an A. H. S. cheerleader. The team always kept alive the fighting spirit and neither the coach or the team ever felt that any game was sure victory or sure defeat until the final whistle sounded. Their attitude, ‘The best playing team always wins’ along with the high record they maintained made us very proud of Mr. Rehmstedt and his ‘‘Fighting Orioles’ . — 24 — Eugene Lane Captain of 50 Fritz Erickson and Charles Penniston Co-captains of 50 and 51
