A., visited us at chapel May 23. and gave us a very interesting talk. c Looking back upon the past school year, 1913—14. we can say that it has been the most successful season in athletics. Last fall we had a very good foot ball season; all players were very enthusiastic over the games played. But when we entered upon our basket ball season, all the boys were out to try for the team. Manager and coach Arthur Belstrom had his men clashing together to get on the team. Our baseball season has been the best in the history of the school. Never before raising this fund. So the wise girls put their heads together and resolved to have a basket social, and the money received should be for the suits. The boys being relieved of this burden , it was next in older to get the best men into the suits and show enough enthusiasm and pep in the games played so as to keep up the spirit, and interest of the school. The manager Albin Edling at last had a long schedule of games. Our regular line up is as follows: 1st IL, Bob Anderson; 2nd B.. Gust Larson; have the boys been so interested. At one o? the meetings of the Athletic Association it was agreed that we should secure baseball suits. But the question came up how we should raise the money. It was later decided to ask the girls for aid in 3rd B., P. Arthur Belstrom; C., Albin Ed-ling. Mgr.; P. S. S., Chas. Hodne, Capt.; S. S. P.. Paul Loff, L. F„ Dan Strand-berg: C. F. Milton Bjorquist; R. F. Elmer Tornblom.
