Champaign Junior High School - Retro Yearbook (Champaign, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 84 of the 1936 volume:

X , EX LIBRIS I Champaign Junior I-ligh School Champaign, Illinois In September of 1935, we entered this line new building for the first time: no longer will pupils file through the doors of the age-worn Central School. Our new structure is the result of several years of dreaming and scheming on the part of the board members, local citizens, and educators. It was erected at a cost of approximately half a million dollars. It is so beautiful in design and complete in equipment that throughout the pages of this Retro, We are re- producing familiar glimpses of its interior. We trust that succeeding classes will derive the same pleasures which We have enjoyed here. To all those who had any part in providing the city of Champaign with this extremely modern and adequate unit of our city educational system-we thank you. The RETRO 1936 VOLUME I NUMBER I Pubfishecf and Edifed by the Ninth Gracie Class of '35-'36 Champaign Junior High School Champaign, Illinois GFOREWORDO The first year spent in the new Champaign Jun- ior High School has passed, leaving only pleasant memories. We sincerely hope that We have captured in the pages of this book the true spirit of loyalty, coopera- tion, and friendship, shown throughout the past year. In the future, as you turn again these leaves, may you live once more the scenes and experiences with your fellow classmates of the Junior High School days. Editor-in-chief, IVIARY MARGARET STEVENSON Table of Contents I ADMINISTRATION CLASSES O ACTIVITIES O ATHLETICS O ADS ODEDICATICNO To Mr. A. L. Thomasson our principal, indispensable friend, and adviser, W the class of nineteen hundred and thirty-six, do respectfully dedicate this, our first volume of the 'iRetro F v The Junior High School Organization At the beginning of the present year the Champaign schools were reorganized under the six-three-three plan. It is believed that such an organization has many advantages over the traditional eight-four plan. Below are listed some of the claims made for a properly administered Junior High School. The Champaign Junior High School is making progress toward the realization of these objectives. l. Bridging the gap between the elementary and secondary schools. By retaining some features of the elementary schools and by introducing others from the secondary Held such an objective is made possible. 2. Retention of pupils in school longer. There is always the tendency by pupils to complete the work of any school unit before dropping out. If this tendency continues, pupils, even though they quit school after having completed three years in junior high, will stay in school a year longer than under the eight-four plan. If they are introduced to the secondary field, pupils are likely to continue in the senior high school. 3. Exploration and guidance are essential features of the Junior High School. A wide range of subjects is oilered. Pupils may explore sub- jects to determine their own interests, aptitudes and abilities, and, by pupil guidance, may find their way into the type of work for which they are best suited. 4. Bringing together pupils of the early adolescent age, which is believed to be educationally and psychologically sound. 5. Trainin for democratic citizenshi throu h artici ation in man 9 P 3 P P Y phases of school government, which results in improving discipline and in socialization. 6. Providing better teaching conditions by attracting teachers of extend- ed training and by offering a situation in which teachers may instruct in their specialized subjects. By the earnest cooperation of parents, pupils, and teachers Champaign Junior High School will realize the objectives which prompted its organ- ization. A. L.

Grad- ually they became accustomed to the surroundings and organized themselves under the leadership of Jay C. Flowers, President, Harold Kirby, Vice-Presi- dent: Betty Lou Brown, Secretary. The class of '36 felt very famous because they were to be the first class to be graduated from the new school. The class vowed to make for themselves a name, so they set forth to show their many traits in scholarship, leadership, and activity. As Editor-in-chief of the Retro, Mary Margaret Stevenson performed all those duties which are involved in making a publication of lasting qualities. Bob Shapland became Editor of i'The Highlights of Junior High , and a number of seniors occupied various positions on the two publication staffs. Keith Warner had the honor of naming the year book Retro in a school con- test. Highlights of Junior High was named by Margaret Booth. Some of the class entered into the various branches of athletics, while many gained membership to such organizations as the Cilee Club, Dramatic Club, Band, and Orchestra. In the Athletic department about forty-five boys won their letters for the fine work shown during the football and basketball seasons. As the days of studies, books, and lessons are passing, always in our minds will be the memory of Champaign Junior High, teachers, and school friends. We are all looking forward to the three years that we will no doubt spend in the Senior High School. To those who do not continue with their school- ing, we wish the best of luck in every thing that they undertake. We wish to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to everyone who has made our schooling possible thus far. We have thoroughly enjoyed this new building and are reluctant to leave it.

Just then down the street limped John Hout Cwhose football days were overj, shouldering a large sign with the following words: l'Steding- Sackett Tap Danc Revue at Morrow Theatre, starring Catherine Gordon, Around the corner was the Wilhite Hotel. I was wondering if Melvin still cut up as much as he did in '36, and I wasn't long in finding out, for I heard that he made dates with every good-looking girl who came to his hotel fthe most frequent visitor being Virginia Howardj Cwoing to my room, No. 311, on the sixth floor, I bumped into Mary Jane Clifford, at once learning that she, too, had attended the game and had obtained Room 312 next to mine. COh, how I wished for some cotton to put in my ears that night.j Next day we went together down to the dining hall. A waiter appeared at our service. Even under his moustache we knew it to be Arthur Burke. During the meal we were enter- tained by the famous Hubbard-Hughes orchestra. To pass away the time we went to the Noecker Theatre, the feature attraction being Wilma McNabb and John Foote in Go Nuts Like Us Cboth well suited to the partj. Next morning, passing by a grocery store, we heard a terrific noise. Looking about we saw Jeanette Ascher Floyd, scolding her poor, defenseless, henpecked husband for letting angelic little Jeanette, aged two, deprive the fruit vender of a banana or so. While we strolled through the park, down the walk strutted handsome Jay C. Flowers, Emma Hartrick on one arm, Jean Lovellette on the other, and Marian Shoemaker, Betty Turner, Virginia Hawkins and Betty McArty trying their best to get a little closer, Ca perfect example of a ladies' man, but you know that saying, Birds of a feather flock togethernj. That night on the way to the depot we heard a familiar strain, and turning around, we saw Jack Wible, peering wistfully through the barred window of the city jail singing, Oh, If I Had the Wings of An Angel. As we were boarding the train we heard a shout. There was OH'icer Robbins of the night force chasing Jean Gilmore and Lois Hanks for throwing a brick through the window of Anna Snow's famous Art Studio. CAfterwards we found out that it nearly broke his heart to arrest them and that they were soon joining in on the chorus of Wible's tune.j Arriving in Denver the next day, we learned that we must wait forty-eight hours for the next train, so we installed ourselves in a room at an inn. That night we picked up a newspaper, the Denverlite, edited by Bob Shapland. Upon looking at the rotogravure section we saw that Darwin Fulfer had gotten a snap of Mrs. Lahey Calias Lois Petryj and her husband, boarding the S. S. Limited for Alaska. In headlines were these words: 'Greatest Opera in West, being Staged To-nite. The stars were Dominic Buttita and Marjorie Sparks. We decided to go, but. as we turned the page, our glance fell on this announce- ment: Immediately preceding the opera, will be Willard Warren in his clown act, so we decided to go to neither. fWillard has been an amateur for years, but now . . . he's still an amateur.j In the want-ads section We saw an ad, saying For advice on selecting names for everything from yearbooks to babies, consult Keith Warner and wife falias Helen Zieglerj. Another ad was The recuperation hospital for pet cats: show us your good will by sending sick cats to us.-Virginia Kane, Mary Gaddyf' The next morning we had coffee and doughnuts for breakfast. The dough- nuts Were so tough that they pulled out one of my fillings which had been put P39327 THE NINETEEN THIRTY-SIX RETRO in by Dr. Larabee. Through the kitchen door we saw Helen Mills frying the doughnuts. CShe's a wonderful -cookj The coffee tasted as though it had been in the urn for a week. We later found out that on the bottom of the cups was stamped 'lRalph Eckerstrom's exclusive poettery , which explains the bad taste of the beverage. We boarded the train again about noon. We had a pleasant trip with the exception of one incident. While passing through the Rockies a plane swooped low and dropped a note. I reached out and caught it. It said, Hi, Toots! Saw you climb this choo-choo for the good old state. Flash-This is me in the airplane. I'm by myself, but Marguerite Parkhill is with me. We're elop- ing. Bob Chase. Well, we lost our appetite then. Arriving at the depot, there was the C.J.H.S. Band playing for us. I heard a discord two or three times and thought to myself, Thats Professor Tom Wiley's son, Richie. We were very glad to get back to good old Champaign and thought we would drop by some places and see our old classmates. Down in the center of town came the street car. There, donned in a conductor's uniform, was Ray Moyer stretching his neck to look through the window. In Woolworth's 5 and l0 we stopped and caught a glimpse of the manager, James Larson. The evening was hot, so we decided to go to the Urbana Swimming Pool. Just as we arrived we heard an ear-splitting scream of Helpl . A second glance proved to us that it was Shirley Applegate in dire distress. A lithe little life guard, Johnnie Ambrose, with a dubious look, flopped in to the wildly milling water around the supposedly drowning figure. We could hardly control our mirth, so we started back. A shrill scream of a siren echoed in our ears as the flashing red of a fire engine whizzed by. On the very end perilously hung Robert McNabb. The next day on our way to the dramatic school where we taught. we heard a yoo-hoo from the principal's office of Champaign Junior High School. Looking around, there was Clifford Elliott. Besides him was his secretary, Margaret Selin. , All that day as our pupils' voices droned in our ears-Htwinkle, twinkle, little star -etc., we were continually thinking how strange it seemed to have seen so many of our old classmates all over the West. Yet it was not so odd, considering the large size of our class of '36 and the modern methods of travel. UNO, project your voice and use tone color-Twin-kle, twin-kle, little star . . . the dramatic classes droned on. ff M. M. S. M. J. C. Lady of the Lake I like the Lady of the Lake, The book is really fine, I've read it once already. And I'll read it another time. I like the Lady of the Lake, It has a wonderful plot, Twas written in 1810, The author? Walter Scott.

You'll see a pond so clear I promise I won't treat you With water lilies viewing As the spider did the Hy. Their faces with no fear. For in my stone-walled garden Grouped in whispering clusters Of Howers of many hue, The larkspur say, How tall You'll find peace and quiet Are the waving hollyhocks Beneath the sky of blue. Against our garden wall! I'll take you through my garden I hope you like this picture So acquainted you may be I've painted just for you. With nature's wonder flowers I again invite you That bring such joys to me. To my Garden 'neath the blue. IVIAXINE NICKEL.L QI:irst prize poem, Ninth Grade Garden Club Contest.j THE AUTUMN TREE Aloof, it stands near the city street Its lofty branches seem to meet With the fleckless blue of the autumn sky, Giving cheer to the heart of the passer-by. The autumn tree. It bears a glorious flaming crown, To beautify the branches brown. People outing in the tangy air, See the tree in its spendor, standing there. A smile appears upon their face, And they set their walk at a brisker pace, It seems to me. Now soon the leaves must flutter down To earth, to die and turn dark brown, But we'll be waiting patiently, Next fall, this picturesque tree to see. Yes, you and me.

THE NINETEEN THIRTY-SIX RETRO P39540 The Benefits of Belonging to a Junior Garden Club Nancy Howell, an intelligent child, thirteeen years of age, was arriving in the Central Station of Oak Park, Ill. She was greeted by a friend, Bette Russell, whom she loved dearly. Nancy had visited Bette once before, and this second visit she dreaded because of the dark, lonely house with its dull furniture and dark-toned walls. The yard was also a run down place, with rubbish and weeds which could have been removed and made at least presentable. As Nancy and Betty reached the house, Nancy was greeeted with a surprise. The yard was a lovely place surrounded by a hedge. A stone walk leading up to a freshly painted house gave beauty to the scene. As Nancy saw these won- derful changes she wondered if Bette had joined the Junior Garden Club. Cer- tainly such a change as this couldn't have occurred in any other wayl As she entered the house another surprise greeted her. lt was not the same dark, dull house she had left two years ago, but a lovely home with light streaming in the windows which beforehand had been covered by bushes. It was decorated with flowers which also brightened the room. Later that evening the girls were alone and Nancy asked Bette if she had joined a Junior Garden Club. Bette replied that she had joined and had learned many valuable things which she had used to improve her home and its sur- roundings. DOROTHY MURPHY fFirst prize theme, Eighth Grade Garden Club contest.j MY GARDEN In my garden pink and white, The little flowers grow: Nodding and swaying in the breeze, Standing in a row. Daisies, Roses, Daffodils, Lilies, and Sweet Pea Talk and dance among themselves, And always smile at me. The sun flower tall and stately, Flutters in the breeze, And once l was very certain, I heard the catnip sneeze. And, when I walk among them, It seems to me they say, Won't you come and talk with me? Won't you come and play? 1: MAXINE RICHARDSON CFirst prize poem, Eighth Grade Garden Club contest.j ACTIVITIES THE NINETEEN THIRTY-SIX RETRO Page42 THOMAS YVISE JOAN XYERSTLER FAYE RICHARDS HELEN ZIEGLER JACK CAMPBELL Commissioner of Commissioner of Captain of Hospitality Captain of Public Property Social XVelfare Monitors Chairman Patrols Pupil Government The Champaign Junior High School students participate in the school government or management, under a representative plan patterned after the city government of Champaign. Each home room elects representatives to the vari- ous departments and branches of the system. Through these representatives the wishes of the home room groups are presented: and, when provisions are made, the home rooms through their representatives cooperate. In this plan there are five departments, each with a special field of work. Under each department are smaller divisions to assist in carrying out the plans. At the head of the system is the Department of Public Affairs, which is actually the Student Council. During the year the Council sponsored many activities. Among these were basketball games and a dance. They also sold tickets to games held in the gymnasium and took charge of some assembly programs. First semester Mr. McCall was the sponsor. Second semester the sponsor was Miss McGinty, The Department has accomplished much and has cooperated with pupils and teachers. Under this Department is the Bureau of Finance. This Bureau operates the Champaign Junior High School Bank. The money which is deposited in the bank comes from any source made by the home rooms or clubs, such as revenue from candy or pencil sales, matinee hops, etc. The Department of Public Property was divided into two divisions: the Department of Public Property and the Department of School Property. Mrs. Ruth Thompson and Miss Boyd supervised the respective departments. The work of the Department of Public Property was to take charge of lost and found articles, while the work of the Department of School Property was to investigate the condition of the building. They had an auction sale of the properties lost during the school year. In order to regulate and improve traflic in and out of the building the Department of Streets and Public Imrovements was formed. Patrol boys and Monitors work with this division. The sponsor of this Department was Miss Cline. The two Bureaus, Outdoor and Indoor Traflic, met separately. All monitors were members of the Bureau of Indoor Tramc. All patrol boys were members of the Bureau of Outdoor Traffic. The monitors took charge of the halls and the auditorium during the lunch hours. There were four squads directed by three pupils, with assistants. The patrol boys directed the outdoor Pagc43 THE NINETEEN TH STUDENT COUNCIL L h Car lene Hod es, Ruby Pilcher, Jeannette Third Row: Dick Besore, Lawrence Berbaum, Velma Luckc, Barbara uet , o g Andrews, Pauline Sizer, Richard XVilson.

Thompson directed the work of the patrol boys, and Miss Green advised the monitors. The Department of Public Health and Safety was organized to seee that our school remains clean. This Department was supervised by Miss Bassett. The work of this Department was to establish order during the fire drills and to inspect the class rooms for orderliness and cleanliness. As an incentive toward the goal of cleanliness the department awarded a banner every two weeks to the room which was rated cleanest and most orderly according to the decision of the committee. This Department assisted the Department of Social Welfare in promoting school beauty and in keeping a clean school. This last Department was also concerned with the individual pupil and visitor needs. The members supervised the work of the Hospitality Committee, which cooperated with students and teachers by rendering thoughtful, helpful, and courteous service to teachers and classmates. They gave aid to the visitors by showing them throughout the building. Miss O'Byrne formulated and directed the work of this group. The Department of Social Welfare has two cooperating bureaus. Under the direction of Miss Kannmacher the Bureau of Social Welfare operated. The Hospitality Committee is an enlargement of this group. In order to promote school attractiveness the Bureau of Decoration set standards for each home room to meet. Inspectors graded each room several times a week and greatly increased the beauty of our school. Miss Cross a.dvised this bureau. There was a Faculty-Pupil-Government Committee to promote cooperation between the students and faculty. It was headed by Mr. McCall the first semester, and Miss McGinty the second. lt advised and sponsored each division of the pupil government plan.

Clubs The club program is an interesting feature of the Champaign Junior High School. The opportunity to participate in the student activities is open to all pupils. Of the forty clubs each pupil chooses one or more which he would like to join. It is in the club atmosphere that a pupil can really be himself. Here the pupil is given an opportunity to exercise alternate fellowship and leadership. It is said that happiness has the tendency to increase the moral and gen- eral efiiciency of everybody. Our clubs are recreational in nature. The boys and girls will not soon forget the enjoyable moments spent in pursuing a favorite hobby, nor those happy associations with club members and sponsors. - A CAPELLA CHOIR The A Capella Choir was under the supervision of Miss Rose.

THE NINETEEN THIRTY-SIX RETRO P96 0 May Il-ith Club Night It is the night of May 14th: the first club night held at the Champaign Junior High School. Behind the curtain in the Auditorium is a great wave of excitement. Boys and girls are hurrying to and fro eagerly hoping to please their parents on the much-looked-forward-to night. In front, the orchestra is winding up a lively piece. We have just time enough to notice that the seats in the Auditorium are filled, before Ralph Ecker- strom, the Master of Ceremonies, appears on the stage. After he introduces the various clubs which are to furnish entertainment throughout the program, the curtain is drawn back on 'AAthletics Now and Then. We are amused with Athletics of yesterday, and each one thinks to himself that football, basketball, golf, and tennis now are much more exciting than they were then. We relax in our chairs while we listen to the music played by the Har- monica Club. Oh, how we wish that they would play one more piece, but another club is ready to perform. The eighth grade Dramatic Club presents Wanted-A Cook. Every character is portrayed so true to life that everywhere around us can be heard whispers of Oh, aren't they good? and Isn't she funny? No one can pos- sibly suppress his laughter. Are those planes on strings or do they actually fly? We are informed, much to our astonishment, that the Aairplane Club made these and that they really do fly. t Now we are introduced to the Stamp Club, which an enthusiastic philan- thropist tells us is the King of Hobbies and the Hobby of Kings. Flags of all nations are unfurled by the boys who take us around the world with stamps. I Flash! Bang! Here come the Junior Experimenters. This is an exciting six minutes we spend, hoping these young experimenters don't blow the Nvery roof from over our heads. What is next, we wonder? Here come the girls of the Knitting Club! What lovely sweaters! What clever scarfs and pocketbooks! Every color and style. l'm sure most of us are thinking about our knitting at home. We are wondering how we could knit without having so many holes. We must get these girls to show us howl h And what club do you suppose is entertaining us now? Why, of course, 1t's the ninth grade Dramatic Club. After the girls show us how well they can turn the tables on the boys the curtain is drawn on '1My Lady Loses Her Hoops . We settle back in our chairs after the exciting play and listen to the Music Appreciation and the Cxlee Clubs. We wish they would play and sing some more, but look what's here. ge THE NINETEEN THIRTY-SIX RETRO Ralph Eckerstrom again. He invites us to make a tour of the building and see the club exhibits. The orchestra begins again, and we are pushed by the crowd into the hall. We begin on the first floor. The ushers pilot us into Room lOl. Here are the exhibits of many countries that the Travel Club has prepared. We have never traveled so far in a few minutes as we do now. In Room l03 we visit miniature gardens and receive helpful advice on how we can make a large one. Clf we could only make them as beautiful as theselj As soon as we enter Room 104 we know what club it must be, for maps and diagrams are displayed of Champaign by Know-Your-City Club. No one could possibly get lost in Champaign if they had one of these maps. In l06 we would like to stay longer for the Evening Pun Club is in full swing, playing games, but we cannot linger for there is more to see. On the second floor we see pictures developed by the l'Camera Clickers, visit the Science Clubs, and soon we find ourselves in the shops. We visu- alize ourselves in the Middle Ages when we see the old Castles. We are soon brought back to Modern Times however, for there are houses, bridges, and air- planes of the present day. When we witness the Bookcraft exhibit we dis- cover how fascinating a book may be. ln too short a time we leave the shops and go to Room 205. We are greeted with extraordinary courtesy for we are in the Etiquette Club room. ln the same room we also see the clever work of the 'AHandicraft Club. Our next stop is at the 'AKnitting and Needlecraft Club, room 204. Here we View the knitting at a closer range and find they are lovelier than before. We see some very beautiful embroidery work. These are of many designs and bright, attractive colors. Up to the third floor we climb and notice the different charts made by the Booklovers. We see the stamps, maps, and other exhibits of the United States. We hope that some day these boys will display their stamps at the National Philanthropic Exhibition, for they surely have unusual ones. ln Room 307 a play is presented by the seventh grade Dramatic Club. The young boys and girls act like regular veterans. lnteresting local, state. national, and international news is given in Cur- rent Event Club, room 301. We think to ourselves that they must certainly read the newspapers more than we do. ln the International Club, Room 303. we see many beautiful articles from different countries. We begin to believe that by some magic we have been transferred across the ocean: but the light from the shop room beckons, and we come back to America to see many useful things that can be made from tin cans. Many parents View with pride the radios made by their sons in the Crystal Radio Club. The time has flown for lvere it is ten-thirty, and we hurry homeward with the satisfaction of having witnessed the first Club Night ever given by the pupils of The Champaign Junior High School.

M iss Vose KATI-ILETICS T THE NINETEEN THIRTY-SIX RETRO V Junior l-ligh Athletics The Champaign Junior High School Athletics are supervised by Mr. Lester Moyer. Mr. Baker has charge of the boys' physical education classes. Miss Quarles and Miss Meneely have charge of the girls' physical education classes. Under the supervision of these teachers the classes have been able to make remarkable progress in such sports as volley ball, basketball, baseball Cand wrestling for the boysb. These teachers also deserve credit for directing fine intramural tournaments. We feel that the Champaign Junior High School has one of the most out- standing Junior High coaches in the state. Orval Strode has produced very fine football and basketball teams. Under his supervision these teams have fought many a hard battle. A word of praise also goes to the managers who have helped to make this year's sports a success. The managers were Aaron Baker, Thomas Wise, Thomas Mcllflillin, and Charles McDaniel. It was the duty of these managers to see that the equipment was in order, to check out the uniforms, and see that the locker room was in order. The cheerleaders also served faithfully, and when a cheer was needed they were always at hand. These leaders were Jean Gilmore, Ralph Eckerstrom, Betty Brown, and Thomas McMillin from the ninth grade. There were also two eighth grade cheer leaders, Irene Southwood and Elmer Stringfellow. War- ner Adams and Keith Smith were chosen from the seventh grade. The cheer leaders were 'aut all the home games and were successful in keeping up the school spirit. WW fi 15?

Varsity Football This year s football team, although inexperienced, showed great defensive strength. They had a very hard season, and held their opponents to very low scores and scoreless ties. Only one team scored against them in the varsity games, and the season ended with a .1000 rating, The last game of the season, with Mattoon, proved to be the one that showed the outstanding points of the team. The team worked its way up and down the field, but it seemed as though neither team could score. Both teams showed good defensive traits. and when the final gun was sounded the score stood 0 to 0. This remarkable game brought the football season to a thrilling climax.

The team was at its peak in the second game with Urbana. This was good revenge for our previous defeat from them. We lost several hard fought games. We also received a defeat from Johns Hill, Decatur, in an exciting game. Cecil Reynolds, the captain, Was a good ball-handler and an accurate passer. The team as a Whole deserves much credit for its Hne work on the floor.

Each of the twenty-seven home rooms was represented by a team. The seventh, eighth, and ninth grades held tournaments during January and February. The winners were sections 7-3, 8-1, and 9-4. Because of the high interest in these games it was decided to hold another tournament for each grade. The winners of these tournaments were sections 7-6, 8-1, and 9-4. The boys played games between the winners of each section to determine the champion of the school. The results were the same in both playoffs: 8-1 was, and is, the school's basketball champion. The boys on this team are: David and John McBride, Richard Banks, Delbert Knudsen, Jimmie Gagliano, Max Armantrout, Derrel Armstrong, Bob Crawford, and K. Lain. Miss Davis is the sponsor of this section. After basketball, many boys looked forward to wrestling and baseball tournaments. Plans were made to have five boys from each room in live dif- ferent weights meet boys from other rooms in wrestling bouts. It was also planned to have playground ball tournaments in the parks as soon as real base- ball weather came along. Over two hundred and fifty boys took part in the basketball games and nearly three hundred took part in the baseball games. This approached the wish of the school, which was to have every boy who wanted to, and would, take part in athletics of some kind in which he finds interest and fun. Girls' lntramural Volley Ball Play began between the different home-rooms on March 19, with Miss Bassett's room meeting Miss Vose's 9-5 girls. Each home room had between eight or twelve girls on its team. As soon as a team was beaten it was eliminated from the tournament. The teams played for ten minutes and the team having the greater number of points was declared winner. ln the seventh grade Iinals Miss Evans' girls defeated Mrs. Ella D. Thomp- son's group 18-17. Miss McGinty's room won from Miss McDaniel's by a score of 13-10. The ninth grade championship was won by Mrs. Jones' room when they piled up a AZIQ-,10 score. The girls showed good sportsmanship throughout the tournament.
