16 DEEDS AND MISDEEDS Boys’ Basketball Team First Semester ATHLETICS The past school year has been one of great pleasure and success in athletics. We have been represent¬ ed in every branch of sports and tasted both of victory and defeat al¬ ways striving to be as gracious in the one as in the other which, after all, is the ideal of all sports. Our attention was held in the fall by an inter-school tennis tournament the winners of which were deter¬ mined by the process of elimination. This was hotly contested before the winners who proved to be Helen Haubold, Sadie Fisher, Billy Bell, and Richard Stoneburner were finally determined. The cool weather ushered in the football season. This being a new sport to us as actual participants we could not hope for a great deal of success the first year, but we prac¬ ticed untiringly and had a great deal of pleasure in learning. We are look¬ ing ahead however, with high hopes. When football season was finished all eyes were turned towards basket¬ ball, a sport which most Hoosier schools delight in, and we were no ex¬ ception for we were represented by a team from every department. Our var¬ sity lineup for the first term was com¬ posed of: C. Reynolds, Capt., W. Bell, R. Baumgartner, R. Stoneburner, D. Aughenbaugh, J. Dierkes, R. Kiess

18 DEEDS AND MISDEEDS Girls’ Basketball Team Everyone looked with sadness up¬ on the closing of the basketball sea¬ son, but like all enjoyable things, there had to be an end. With the past semester’s experience for our new players we are looking forward to a brilliant future. Warm weather now turned our at¬ tention to the events of field and track. The date of April 25, was set for our field meet and our play¬ ground was turned over to the “thinly clads’’ so that they might get in trim for this event. Each in¬ dividual was allowed to enter in any three events and the winner in al¬ most every event was pushed to his limit. John Dierkes and C. Reynolds tied for high honors in 7th and 8tli grade meet each taking three firsts and scoring 15 points each, John Aber being third with 8 points. In the 5th and 6th grade meet J. Rienhard was first with 12 points, W. Lough second with 11 points and R. Ladd third with 8 points. We are finishing up our athletic year with a pl.ay-ground-baseball tournament. Six teams have been picked and the winner will be deter¬ mined by elimination. Our past, year’s record has been the source of much pleasure to us.
