We wish to thank Miss Riddle for her helpful guidance as class sponsor during the past term. We also thank our teachers, Miss Riddle, Miss Tompkins, Mrs. Moe, Mr. Smith, Mr. Henning and Mr. Bovee, for the helpful advice and assistance they have given us during the past year.

THE CENTENNIAL GIRLS’ BASKETBALL The girls’ basketball team of 1926-1927 was not as successful as it might have been which was due to lack of games. After a great deal of practice, two games were played with Chinook. The first game meant victory, the last was lost by a score of 18-22. A game was also played between the first and second teams, in which the first team was victorious. A girls’ tournament was planned but due to the lack of schools entering the idea was abandoned. Miss Riddle and many of the girls are entitled to much of the honor earned by the team which was gained through efficient coaching and practice. The team was made up of four Seniors and two Juniors. Four of the girls wi.l graduate this year. The other two will be back again with high spirits of success and hopes for better opportunities for future games. The following made up the team: Geneva Pearson, center and captain; Alma Rhue and Ruth Green, for- wards; Myrtle Christofferson and Louise Works, guards; Mamie Pokorny, sub. LITERARY Our High School participated in several literary activities during the past year, the most important of these being extemporaneous speaking, scholarship contest and declamation.
