SENIOR ROOSTER Basketball Banquet The Boy's and Girls' basketball teams of the Buffalo High, were honored by their class-mates, friends, parents and patrons of the • school at a banquet held Friday night, April the 7th in the basement . of the community church. 1his occasion having much in common with ! five other previous banquets offered a splendid opportunity for the i young athletes and their friends to unite in an evening of genuine ! merriment, and provided further a most suitable time to present I letters to the members of both teams which had earned them during the season just past. The basement of the church suitably adapted for handling a large banqueting group was appropriately decorated for the occasion, walls were covered with streamers of royal blue and white, while the tables with an unique arrangement were simply but attr. ctively set, with decorated napkins and cleverly designed nut cups adding to the total effect. »«ith such a setting about ninety people found their places designated by a combination place card, menu and program, which in itself was a clever design and an artistic piece of work, and for which as well as other decorative features the committee in charge deserves much credit. Immediately after being seated. Miss Gladys Shierson took charge of the moods and dispositions of everybody and set them all atune with numerous songs and parodies. Interspersed during the entire evening song followed song or a toast or a course of the feast, making the evening from this standpoint alone one long to be remembered. After the three course dinner had been served by the high school girls who acted as waitresses the following program was carried out: Toastmistress Miss 'dalker R-uffalo Basket Ball Rev.

Senior Booster Boy’s Basketball The 1932-33 basketball team of Buffalo will not be remembered because of victories but because of the hard fighting pluck and sportsmanship they displayed on the floor. Fighting their best in ! the last half, they can never be said to have quit when behind. Buffalo opened the season by losing to a crack Judith Gap team, i next playing Hobson, Mo of e and Moccasin. Adverse road conditions ' deplayed the schedule somewhat, making it necessary to play the last game after tournament. i The annual sub-district tournament was held at Moor, Buffalo i opening against Hobson, The game was close most of the time and the j score at the last was 18-25 in favor of Hobson. Buffalo played the j next afternoon against Moore for third and fourth places, losing, ■ 20-35. At the close of the tournament the Buffalo squad received I the Sportsmanship Trophy. i j The team was composed of five Seniors and two Sophomores, these | players having played enough to receive a letter; Captain, William | Griffith, guard., Clifford Ristine, guard., Harold Zimmerman, for- ward., Lowell Barnhart, forward., Thomas Holdsworth, Center., Thomas Gregory, guard., and Edward Stevenson, center. -------Thomas Holdsworth. Girls Basket Ball Cont. Mary Griffith; She is a sub. but just the same she knew how to play Basketball just as well as the main players. Mary was a good for- ward and had a keen eye for the Basket. It is rather unfortunate that Mary is a Senior this year. I Ruth Corey: Another Sub. A small but mighty Sophomore. Ruth showed j her ability to play Basketball and as this is her first year on the team she has two more years to contribute to the team of the future. Ruth could be relied upon to fill any position. : Agnes Sailsbury; A four year player, and one whose Basket shooting ; ability has won her fame. The past season she played center posi- tion and fulfilled her duties as Captain in a commendable way.(E.F.) Agnes Salisbury

Senior Booster The above merely mentions Miss Ardea talker as toastmistress of the occasion, but that would hardly suffice when it is known what an important part she really had in pointing the entire evening to a most successful climax, and though her services as a witty toastmis- tress were delightfully discharged on the occasion she probably handled an equally important task as effectively when in preparation for the event she acted as chief co-ordinator for the program and decorating. During the evening, letters were presented to the following players: William Griffith captain of the boys team, three service bars and a star, Rarold Zimmerman, Clifford Ristine, Lowell Barn- hart, a letter with two bars each, and Tom Gregory, Edward Ste- venson, a letter with one bar. Among the girls the following awards were made: Agnes Salisbury, captain's star and four service bars, Maude Phillips and Edythe Fairbanks letter with three bars, Betty Wernli and Eleanor Naylor, letters with two service bars, while Dorothy Lilley and Mary Griffith received letters for first year service on the team. Though the undertaking for the planning and preparation of a banquet equal to this one requires a very great amount of work it was most successfully carried out through the cooperative efforts of many, many hands and willing workers. Among the women to assist and stick from first to last were Mosdames Rung, Naylor, Phillips, Ristine, Zimmerman, Mattill, and Fairbanks, while in planning for the serving Lorraine Rung and Marguerite Hanson capably assisted, and it may be truthfully said that without the most valuable aid of the above it would have been impossible to carry out plans for this happy event. The town team by their presence and part in providing for the banquet as well as for the part members of this organization had on the program added spice and buoyancy for the evening. The Committee chairmen for the occasion were: Banquet—Eleanor Naylor, Menu—Dorothy Lilley, Decorntor--Maude Phillips, Program— Edythe Fairbanks, j I
