ty-ei First in the minds of the members of the Butler High School Basketball Team is unity and fair play. lf the team is victorious. the laurels are be- stowed upon the team as a whole and not upon any individual player. However, we prefer the willow to victory by foul means. To consider the players indi- vidually, foremost in our ranks is our captain and forward. George Hupp. A better for- ward cannot be found in Bates County. and he. as captain. is constantly on the lookout for the welfare of the team. Not far behind our captain in play- ing ability are our forwards. Seba jackson and john Dykaa man. Both are clean and fast forwards, who have done splen- did work throughout the entire season. Yes. slightly elongated are our centers. Price and Bul- lock. but that is what it takes to make good centers, and if aught is lacking in science it is given in effort. Our guards. David Thompson and Harvey Hensley. are truly what the name implies. Their defense is so effective that it takes more than the average forward to make a showing when up against them. Notwithstanding the quality of the team. we owe a great part of our success to our coach and principal, Nlr.Gorf rell, who has given much of his energy and time toward the making of the winning team that the B. H. S. Team is.

Elly? Citnttra fm' tljv Emitting Qlup-Qinntitturh riot. This game proved to be the fastest game of the season. Some excellent play- ing was done and a strong girls' team for next year is assured. There is a prospect for some star players from this Freshman class when the members reassemble next year. Josephine Voris did some excellent playing, using the dribble and overhead shot to perfection. Edith Ellis covers more ground and covers it bet- ter than any side center of her experience, while Lola Smith is the only guard outside of Nevada that has kept up with Juanita. When the score was counted it was found that the Freshmen had won. This made the Freshmen and juniors jubilant in the extreme because they had each won a cup as a trophy. ' - MARTZ, 'l8. C5112 Ursula Butler High School at last has shown that it can maintain a track team. Last year Mr. Denton of the People's Bank offered a silver loving cup to be given to the winners of the inter-society track meet. The Alpha Sigmas won the cup but the action did not stop here. The boys had gotten the call of the track and field in their systems, so they decided to try in the county meet. Adrian was the only other school in the county that boasted of a track team, so this team was the one we had to fight. Adrian had had experience on the track for several years, but nevertheless our boys were confident of winning when Adrian came to Butler on May 1.7. The score was nip and tuck all the way through. Adrian took all the firsts on the races but we held them on the field events. The high jump was the last event. We took first in this and tied for second place. Adrian refused to jump the tie off and the judges gave us the decision, making us the winners by two points. On May 19 we went to Adrian to return the favor. The score ran almost as even in this meet as in the one at home, but the Adrian boys seemed to be more at home on their own field and dropped a few of the second places we had won at home, to thirds. When the score was counted at the close, Adrian was six points ahead. F , As school was near an end this was the last meet we held. The boys are not at all ashamed of the record they made and have high hopes for this year. Track Team. Clyde E. Borland, Capt., 100 yards, broad jump, 220 yards and 440 yards.
