The Visitors in Action Sporting Events of 1945 Athletics at Bush during 1944 and '45 were hailed with great enthusiasm by all the classes. lluring the first semester gym classes and after school sports flourished under Mrs. Newport. Then Mrs. VVestlund took over for the latter half of the year in the same spirit. To start the year off was a ping-pong tournament. The victor was Mae- Jeanne Peterson who vanquished Joan Frayn with little trouble. Following on the heels of this was a badminton doubles tournament. After a tough scrap Anne Johnston and joan Frayn finally conquered Midi Sawyer and llebbie Allen. The most anticipated sport at Bush is basketball. Practice games were begun shortly after Thanksgiving and lasted until Christmas vacation. Starting in january, inter-class games were played. There were several close battles that were extremely interesting to watch. For the most part the higher grades beat the lower. However, the sophomores upset the apple cart by beating the juniors, and almost defeating the seniors. The biggest event for the year was the l7acl's Dinner April 3 at which the seniors fought the sophomores for the championship. The seniors, who had tucked away two basketball victories, were out for a third, and although the sophomores did their best to prevent it, achieved this goal, The most fun, however, came at the half. lloffing their coats and donning their tennis shoes, the llads took the floor to give battle to the seniors, The Dads, of course, had to play girls' rules which was slightly confusing. Several of the men insisted on dribbling the length of the gym and then shooting. NVhen they could get their hands on the ball fit was not too oftenl the seniors tried to make baskets, but sad to say, they were not very successful. After a wild but thrilling game, the llads came out on top with a score of 24 to 14. Following the basketball tournament was supposed to have been a baseball tournament. However, the problem of scraping ten girls per class together for a team was very difficult, and besides the general concensus of opinion was that the weather was too warm for good games anyway. lnstead everyone wishing to play baseball Cand get a tan in the proccssl played scrub. The last tournaments of the year were in badminton and tennis. The winners of these clashes were announced Class Day. Class llay the silver sports' plaque was awarded to the sophomores, who had won the most tournaments and had the best representation at after-school sports.
