THE AGRICULTURE CLASS Bristol High School first recognized along with other leading High Schools of Indiana the im- portance of Agriculture as a science, last year. And it was last year that they met the demands of the people by introducing agriculture into the school. By the end of the year they could have hung up ribbons as a champion of Niorthern Indiana. This year only the Freshmen of the High School were allowed to enter into the Agriculture class. excepting the seventh and eighth grades. The Freshmen have not taken up all the different lines of agriculture but have studied more in detail the raising and caring for poultry. At the beginning of the year they decided to build a chicken house on the school campus and started raising chickens to discover the best food and ration to feed chickens in order to obtain a large amount of eggs. ' Their work has met with success and should be an example for other Agriculture Classes of Bristol to follow. DOMESTIC SCIENCE The Domestic Science Class. with Miss Esther Lehman as instructor is the first class that has ever performed any experiments in this depart- ment at llristol High School. Although we have had poor equipmentQ we have produced some ex- cellent results. NN-fe have been very enthusiastic with our work and have succeeded in the prepara- tion of many recipes. On the eighteenth of December we prepared and served a three-course dinner to the members of the Board and County Superintendent. XVe exceedingly appreciated the fact that it seemed to have been highly appreciated by all present. One morning we visited the bakery. We not only enjoyed our trip, but found it very interest- ing and instructive. Next year we expect to give special attention to Domestic Science,.devoting five hours of our time each week to this work instead of two, and 'we sfncerely hope to have better equipment. IN MEMORIAM. One of the saddest events to occur during our High School career was the death of one of our most beloved class mates. Charles Hartranft. His sickness came upon him last year, compelling him to stay from school. This year near Christ- mas death visited his home and although being expected, yet it was a shock to every one. The Senior Class purchased two beautiful bouquets of roses and carnations for him during his sickness and death. Charles certainly ,is missed in the High School. He was a good, honest and hard working student. He participated in all athletic games and was instrumental in helping in all high school functions no matter what they were until his sickness. VVe as a class certainly regret to think that Charles could not be among our num- ber to graduate this year.

BASKET BALL The basket bail squad has practically the same line- up as last year, which is as follows: Clark, centerg Rowe, right forward: Atkins, left forward: Fischer, right guardp Sudborongh, left gnardg Eby and Mc- Mullen substitutes. The boys played a successful schedule this year- winning six of the nine games played. The basket ball season for B. H. S. opened Dec. 18 and closed March 5, when the last game was played with the lilkhart Athertons. This game was played at Elkhart, and although our boys were not used to the Hoor they put up a good tight and when the time was up the score stood 3: to 27 in our favor. lt was in this game is noted for his accuracy, free throwing and for foil- ing his opponent, especially with the left hand. Al- though Atkius does not cover so much ground as some of the others he plays under our basket and is noted for throwing a basket with great cleverness betore his guard arrives on the scene. Fischer has a knack of blocking the long passes and getting the hall bfiek under Bristol's goal with unusual quickness. Sud- borough malres a good guard in the fact that he knows how and when to use his strength to the best advan- tzlge. Although B. ll. S. will lose three of the best players this year we sincerely hope that the team next year BASKET BALL TEAM that our fellows reclaimed their reputation and proved to the neighboring teams that they did not always have to play on their own floor to win. Of the nine games played four of them were played out of town, three of which the boys met with defeat. B. H. S. still holds the record of winning every game played on the home floor. r The games were well attended this year and much 'rooting took place which cheered the players on to greater success. Clarkie still jumps as high as ever and plays the main part in getting the ball started from the center toward our goal. Rowe possesses the power to be at all places on the Hoor at the same time. He will lee just as strong and will meet with as much it not better success. FIRST TEAM RECORD Tl. ll. S VS. Ellahart Athletics ............ .... 4 0-4 ll. ll. S. rs. Three Rivers ..... .. .

BASKET BALL SECOND TEAM Our haslcet ball second team is the chief agency in making our lirst team what it is, and has its lineup as follows: Eby, centerg Miller, left forward: E. Fischer, right forward: Swayne, left guard: McMullen, right guard:Reed, substitute guard. Tlze boys have played only two gzunes this year, both of which were with Constantine. ln the home game they were victorlous but were defeated in the return game, which was due to playing on a strange tioor and the disabling of one of their best players. These boys deserve much credit in tlte fact that they faithfully supported the practice grames for the hrst team and added to its efiieeucy. Although thev did not have inueh chance to distinguish themselves this year, they have good prospects ot lzuilihng a successful team next year. SECOND BASKET BALL TEAM SECOND TEAM RECORD Ti. 11.
