The students of High school, along with other schools of the county are participating in the Polio campaign for funds, of which Bill Jones is county chairman. Cards were passed out to be filled with dimes by the students. If each student gave only one dime it would mean a contribution of $25.00, and it is hoped that the school will be able to do better than that. Don Clark, president of the Rambler staff has announced that the pictures and stories are nearing completion. Photographer Earl Wilson will be at the school soon to take the Ixst of the pictures. These will consist mostly of activities of the school, and it is expected it will take almost an entire day. Among them to be taken are one of Principal Crane. F. F. A . Si-Y club. Coiiservation club. Sr, Science club, basketball squad, track squad, choruses and many others. The Ramblers will be out for distribution near the end of the school year and will cost $3.00.

The Reserves came out victors by a 36 to 51 score, while the varsity camg out on the top end of a 54 to 39 score. For the first half, the varsity encounter was all that nnv fan would want in the way of cage thrills. The score at the quarter was 13 to 15. and at the half 25 to 20. with Mt. Sterling on top both times. The end of the third period found the score 25 to 37. Coach Eldon Atwood’s cagers played mp and tuck ball for the first half, exchanged baskets with the Hornets on about an even par. Their shooting faded in the last periods, to let the Mt.

BASKETBALL Last fall, when the Hornets began buzzing about the possibilities of the coming basketball season, most fans anticipated a good season, but even the most ardent supporter was unprepared for the brilliant season that lay ahead. Lacking in height, but packing a stinging scoring punch and blazing speed, these Hornets piled up a record that in many ways is one of the best in the history of the school. Up to the time of this writing they have won 20 games out of 26 played, and among these twenty wins are two tournament championships. When the Hornets entered the Winchester Tourney they had lost only to Quincy and Western High of Macomb. Rated second in the Tourney, they had to work their way past such fine teams as Northwestern, Carrollton, and Jerseyville before downing a fine host team in the finals. Not only did the boys cop the first place trophy but the sportsmanship trophy as well. At the same time our beloved cheerleaders walked off with the trophy for being the best group of cheerleaders representing the seventeen schools in the meet. The Hornets also won the P. M. B. C. Tournament in Jacksonville and again walked off with the sportsmanship trophy. None of the sports experts in this area can recall of any school performing such a feat—that of being the best sports as well as champions. The one great disappointment in their record came after the tournaments, when, tired from the many games and troubled with injuries, they lost a double overtime to a much improved Chapin crew; thus failing to win undisputed title to the P. M. B. C. league trophy. However, they could still claim the co-championship. On the other hand, the reserve squad under the leadership of Mr. McKinney, won the B trophy in this league, being undefeated in conference play. The usual starting line-up of this great Hornet team was Heubner and McClelland at forward, Clark at center, and Robinson and Steinbeck at guard. However, Lewis, Rigg, and Quincy often entered the starting line-up, and their ability to take over when the others were not clicking or were suffering from injuries was a great help in compiling their season's record. Howard, Burkey and Shepard also contributed their share toward this record. The importance of every member of the squad to its success is explained when the Coach believes that at least once each boy was responsible for pulling the team out of difficulty and bringing victory where defeat was a close possibility. Probably one of the best compliments given was that of a fan who said they were the most unselfish bunch of boys to play together he had ever seen. And that is probably one of the keys to their success—the will to win at the sacrifice of personal glory. The varsity had it, the reserves had it, and both squads experienced a great year. Townspeople, alumni, and many friends have followed this deserving squad in their battles and triumphs throughout the season. « 28 »
