Track TCHIII The interest in varsity track has been greatly increased this spring. More than seventy boys reported to Coach Hamm at the start of the track season. An unusual amount of enthusiasm was sh-own and training started in earnest in spite of the cold weatherr. Strict training rules were laid down and a single violation meant that the offender was automatically dropped from the squad. The loss of VVald.man by graduation last year was keenly felt in the hurdles and dashes, but at the beginning of the season prospects were bright for Blume I-Iigh's best year. The leading candidates for each of the entries were as follows: 100-YARD DASH-Tom Davis, Bob Blume, Bill Fite, Lee Ruck. 220-YARD DASH-Tom Davis, John Bailey, Bob Blume, Lee Ruck, Bill Fite.

She inspired the confidence of both team and coach and then lived up to it. Dependable and consistent from beginning to end. Shirt is a real spo-rt. LENA RUTH VOSSLER- SIS A team mate -of equal ability for Shirley. After two fouls had been called on her, the game was on in earnest! Not for the opponents-Oh, no, for them it was over. MXARCEL BURDEN-- BABE She doesn't say much-but why sh-ould she? Actions speak louder than words! Babe forms the other point of that invincible defensive triangle. Basket ball to Babe is a problem and she fattacks it as such, cool, collected. But it's fun-and she loves it. , MONA LINDER- MONA ' ,Mona was a consistent, hard playing team-mate. She might have been timid about shooting but that was all. She filled her place in that scheme 'of offense which, once started, couldn't be stopped. We can sum the whole thing up by saying her basket- ball playing is commensurate, only with her chewing gum. ELIZABETH CARTNIELL- LIZ Liz was our high point scorer for the season. As for her opponent, they might have been out big game hunting , because hunting was all they ever did where she was concerned. She was much too fast for them even to find her-Whiz- she had the ball, Whiz-we had a basket. MARGARET. BUSH- BUSH Bush is our only senior. We feel sure that if she shows the same good sports- manship and fight in the game of life that she does in the game of basket ball, she will certainly be a success. She filled the bill both offensively and defensively and we say, Best of luck, Bush. LULA MAE TERWILLIGER- LU Lue came to us at the beginning of the second semester. It seemed as though we were waiting for that confidence and assurance that she gave us. We can cer- tainly say that, with her dependability and cleverness, she was a big help to our team. MARJEAN HEADAPCHL Marjean in her quiet but deliberate way was' ready to rise to any necessity that circumstances demand. The team felt that perfect confidence that she always seemed to inspire. We can remember when our team looked 'decidedly better because of her. FLORENCE KA-NTN ER- SH'ORTY Shorty was an inspiration to all. What she lacked in inches she amply made up for in fight. She has the spirit that makes successful ball teams. And now we come to those girls who really make teams like we had possible. Those girls who, evening after evening, faithfully came to practice and yet, whose rewards are not in the form of letters or participation in games. Those girls com- mand great respect from both team and coach. Their sportsmanship is a thing which has been a goal for all' to work for. The following merit mention, because at various they have-been a part of our playing scheme: Elizabeth Bachman, Frances Brodbeck, Emma Vorhees, Caroline Weimert, and Laura Alice Youngs. Last, but not least, comes another who has helped make our team the success it was, Kathleen VVoolfe, our trusty manager. Always ready to do her share, cheer- fully and willingly. Kathleen and her team mate, Virginia McCormick are' a proof that one can know real sportsmanship 'without being a participant in the game. We thank them!

Top row, left to right-Cornelius Loew, Edward Strobel, Harley Nelson, Mr. Taylor, B-ob Snyder, Darrell Woolf, James Telljohn. i The Tennis ,Team Spring athletics without its tennis would seem incomplete so a schedule was arranged and practices started. There were six lettermen in school from last seasong but two were ineligible and two unable to plaly so again our team was represented by comparatively inexperienced players, James Tellj-ohn and Bob Snyder were the two lettermen on the squad. Edward Stroebel, Cornelius Loew, Harley Nelson, -and Darrell Woolf completed the squad. Darrell is the Junior Champion of Wapakoneta and much is expected of him. Edward Stroebel was the runner-up in the city tournament. N Each year two games have been scheduled with Sidney, Van Wert, Piqua, Bluff- ton and Celina. . During the 1931 season Blume High won twice 'from Wan Wert and Piqua and -once from Celina. Matches were lost to Bluffton and Sidney while one match was lost to Celina. So many girls were interested in tennis this year that intramural tennis was organized for them. A tournament was planned for the last week of school, the win- ner to receive a prize of la scholastic tennis letter. Two inter-scholastic matches were scheduled with girls from Sidney and Celina. -0--0-0-ovm Q -Oreo-D--+-N ....,.g.4.-0. Q -Q-4..g..,,.g.
