The team got a bad start at the beginning of the season, but towards the end was showing more improvement. we believe, than any other second team in late years. Although the team did not win fifty per cent of its games. winning seven and losing thirteen it was rapidly improving. From fifteen to twenty men were carried throughout the season. thus giving more boys a chance to show their worth. Most of the squad will be back next year, and Mr. Haviland, the coach, claims that any Five will give the Varsity a good game. FRESl-llTlFllW BHSKETBFHLI.

TEHlTl It seems that most of the organizations. clubs, and teams will be broken up this year because so many veterans in the various fields, will graduate. However our baseball team will not suffer a great loss because of this. There are only' four persons to leave the team this year. The remaining players are very' capable and indeed they deserve more support and interest than they have rea ceived in their previous games. The team feels that the season has been far from a failure. Although two of the players were injured slightly and were not capable of doing as well as they had at times. they did some remarkable playing this season. Among the teams they played were Decatur Central, Greenfield, Tech, Plainfield, Southport, Boys School. Martinsville, Indiana State School for Deaf, and Beech Grove. Mr Blair who has for ten years ably coached the baseball team says that the boys with their experience should comprise a yery strong and yictorious team next yeir i 'ia TRHCK TEFNTT The 19a track team which is ably coached by Mr Chuck Stembel did yery well by itself this year Although yyithout the seryices of such stars as Rove and Clark the boys caused their opponents much trouble Vy'ith only three seniors Kleis Spreckelmeyer and Smith un the team Jones Poore Hammer Buis Deputy who vyill be coming up from the freshman team should carry on in grand style next year The team was greatly handicapped the first of the season by an inlury to Ralph Buns and got off to a bad start but when the sectional meet rolled around the latter part of May the boys caused all of the city and county teams to worry and yustly so because they were in the tight all the way So to the track team of Ben Davis High School and to Mr Stembel we the student body salute you I3 , ,.

A bazooka band was featured in the same entertainment with several specialty numbers. The girls have a Mothers' Tea each year where, the mothers get acquainted with each other, and the different members.

At every home basketball game and other athletic events, the club has had charge of a concession. Some of the girls worked hard daily at the schoolg but it was all for the same purpose and the girls can well be merited in the same class, as one group is just as important as the other. All the girls have been chosen because of their responsibility, neatness, courtesy, and their desire to help the school in this worthy cause. Never once have they been deprived of a reward for their faithfulness. This year the school was extremely consid- erate and every girl received a free ticket to both the Marion County and the Sectional Basketball Tourney.
