Wagoner, Mitchell, Wolcott, Spaulding, Lucas, Robinson, King, Shearer, Urick Absent: John Perkins Seventh Grade Our embarrassing times in the seventh grade were not few. When we came over to the High School building we were inclined to follow others in passing to classes. The first few days we wandered around, getting lost at every turn. How big we thought we were! We had one party at Halloween, sponsored by Mr. Elferdink. Cider and doughnuts were served. A good time was enjoyed by all. We had a Valentine party in the second semester. Wafers and ice cream were served. Mr. Elferdink treated the class to some candy. The officers of the first semester were: President, Carl Ford; Vice President, Venora Robinson; Secretary, Junior Gill; Treasurer, Fern Spaulding; Historian, Barbara King. Those officers for the second semester were: President, Arvid Erlandson; Vice President, Helen Wolcott; Secretary, Barbara King; Treasurer, Venora Robinson; Historian, Betty Shearer. We have all had a very successful year under the splendid sponsorship of Mr. Elferdink. Fern Spaulding page twenty-six

Hvans Basket Ball Review The 1935-36 basketball season was highly successful lor Berrien. The boys won 16 oui of 16 games in scheduled play. During the whole season the boys won IS out of 20. The first loss was at Niles in the Christmas Tournament. Three Oaks defeated Berrien there 15-13. Berrien got revenge, though, by beating Three Oaks twice in scheduled play. The second loss was chalked up in the opening round of the County Tournament at Niles. Bridgman was the winning team. Berrien had beaten Bridgman twice in scheduled play but the team had its worst night of the season and was beaten 21-11. There were several highlights of the season. The first was the game with Buchanan at Berrien Springs. We won 31-30 after the game had gone into two overtimes. Another bright spot of the season was when Berrien defeated Niles at Niles by the decisive score of 20-27, a little revenge for the loss to Niles three years ago. Another highlight was when Berrien beat Buchanan on Buchanan’s floor by the score of 28-20. As far as we know, this is the first time Berrien ever won on the Buchanan floor. The last game of the season, with Three Oaks, was a thriller. The team was handicapped by an extremely low ceiling and a small court. Before a packed house Berrien won 14-13. The Berrien Springs team showed the fans that they could go into the last quarter trailing in score, but still win the game. Nearly three-fourths of the games were won in the last quarter by rallies. One of the best rallies Berrien made was at page twenty-eight
