A new organization this year was the nCarteretteH club, made up of girl representatives of each class in school Found- ed primarily to arouse school spirit, the girls soon proved their worth to the school. Among the duties they performed were those of serving lunch to visiting and home basketball teams, choosing and sponsoring the cheer le? ders, and arranging assem- bly programs. At basketball games they wore white blouses and navy skirts and sat near the band. Miss Jacqueline McCullough was sponsor for the club. Leading the cheers this year were Murray Emerson, Lucille Kennedy, Johnny McCumsey and Hadine Speelmon. Each class was represented by four members in the club together with four girls who were chosen as all school members.

DISTRICT TOURNAMENT Jordon may have been the unbeaten leader of the district four class 3 standings at the close of the regular season, but they were just an other team to the Bulldogs in the opening game of the district tournament at Miles City. The Carter County team led all the way in chalking up a 31-24 victory. Carter s lead at the end of each Quarter was 7-6, 16-13 and 20-16. The Bulldogs pulled another victory out of the frying pan by downing Sacred Heart and forged on into the final contest for District 4 honors After a first quarter lead of 8-5, Ekalaka went scoreless for the second quarter, while Sacred Heart piled up a half-time lead of 16-8. The boys took Greer1s half-time lecture to heart, however, and a 22-21 victory from the champions. In the final game against Terry, Ekalaka put the score at 6-2 the first quarter and 10-7 at the half. Then Terry closed the gap, but Carter spurted for an 18-14 edge during the third quarter despite the loss of Murray Trout, senior center, on fouls The Bulldogs outscored Terry, 9-8 in the last quarter, in which officials called fouls right and left. Terry lost two players while Carter finish- ed without Heggen and Volin Jerome Emswiler, Ekalaka forward, topped the scores with 9 points followed by his running-mate, Loken, with 8. The Bulldogs won the championship on sheer ability, because no breaks in the draw favored the team. They paved their way into the district tournament by winning a subdivision playoff at Baker; then, first off, drew Jordan, the only undefeated team in the district. GIRLS BASKETBALL Friday the thirteenth seems to stick to the old tradition of being bad luck, for it was Friday the Thirteenth of December that the girls basketball squad opened it3 rather unsuccessful season. On that particu- lar day it was defeated, 26 to 21, on the home floor by the Ismay girls The return game showed no better results for Carter. The score was 39 to 26 On January 17th the squad won the only victory of the season by de- feating the Plevna girls on the home floor with a margin of twelve points However, the return game was the most serious defeat of the season, 54 to 25. Only about twelve girls came out for basketball, four lettermen of tho previous season, four freshman, and four who had a small amount of experience Ten girls have earned letters.
