Manager of Basket Ball Team Alton Hess ............................................. Treasurer As Football is becoming more popular a drive for funds with which to outfit a team was arranged for by soliciting for subscriptions for the Curtis Publishing Company but as it was late in the season no team was developed. Other activities of the year to raise funds for the Association are the Hallowe'en program and the Minstrels. A strong Basket Ball team was formed, under the diligent coaching of Mr. Ward McHenryg but owing to the lack of competing teams we were unable to secure a full schedule. Tl. boys playing were: Forwards-George Laubach, Robert Hos- ler, Max Bittenbenderg Guards-Alton Hess, Mahlon Strauchg Centre- Edward Laubach.
