It proved to h a very successful season, with Big Sandy loosing only one game. Big Sandy was out-weighed by all the teams they played, but it didn't seem to make any difference, for, as the old saying goes, good stuff' always comes in small quantities. ' v The speedy, deceptive backfield consisted' of Diz Ray at half-back, Paul S. enn ng£ n at full-back, and Prank Yama at quarter-back. The two ends were Ells- worth Skeie and Eugene Riechelt. Probably the .bebit center was Jerry McCrea. Ed Laulo substituted at quar- ter-back and center. Lester Rutledge, Gordon Schlack. Walter Robertson, and George Laulo were substitutes. Ray Dixon was substitute half-back. Only Captain Junior Ray and Ed Laulo will be miss- ing next fall when football again rolls into the lime- light. Geraldine 13--Big Sandy 21 The Pioneers traveled tb .Geraldine for their first game of the season. They defeated Geraldine 21 to 13. We left the left the led for the Geraldine team in the first half so that they would not become discouraged, and then in the last half of the game, we rally showed them how the game is played.

The Glee Club, under the direction of Mrs. Sylvius was progressing ?long fine, when disaster struck it. it seems that during our Glee Club, which was the activity period, many of the students were tak- ing advantage of the free period. For this reason we had to stop our little singing lessons with Mrs. Sylvius much to our sorrow We wish to thanl tecs. Sylvius for her work with us students, and ve hope that next year the Glee Club won’t be a victim of hard luck

Harlem 13--Big Sandy 2S Next we traveled to Harlem, to play on a . mu SJ- field. Paul Svennungsen took off his shoes and struck out for a good run, at his suggestion, the other hoys on our team slipped off their shoes too. Soon we saw the Harlem hoys taking off their shoes; they had decid- ed that our boys knew best. It was really a sight to see--muddy feet splashing by on the football fiald, hoping to make a touchdown. Dodson 12--Big Sandy 31 Dodson was next to fall at the feet of our Pionea? Team. This was the only game in which anyone got hurt. Once more Paul cones to our attention, this time he had a tooth knocked out. Fort Benton 12--Big Sandy 46 Fort Benton was the team that we had been waiting to meet. We hoped to meet with a team of almost equal skill, but to our disappointment, they were almost as the other teams. I Denton 46--Pig Sand;?- 19 The game with Denton was the only game e was a cold and snowy day whi ch made it play. Junior Ray made three touchdowns in quarter, these were the-only touchdowns to day. Paul Svennungsen good high in thi s cho o1 me The we lost, harder to the third be made that nd Frank lama both played very game with Denton was the last ramo to be played by Junior Ray and Ed laulo. Even though Big Sandy's basketball season was one of the most disasterous in our school history, many are the bright points to be remembered. Captain Ray's grand shooting eye, Skcic's do or die fighting, Cline's bril liance at the district tournament, especially against Gilford, Robertson's amazing center play for- a first year man, as well as Svennungsen s clever ball hawking and Yama'3 defensive excellence, and man other brilli- ant feats turned in by the reserves, McCrea, Ingram, Panchot, and Sicbrassc. Only Captain Ray and Ingram will be missing from this year's squad when Sandy again takes up the count game . w • (, . V -.s—A i
