 THE W1TAN 29 Although no practices have been held as yet for the track team, we feel sure that, with Lowden at the helm, the team will do great things. If the Seniors show as much spirit in base ball as in other sports, we ought to have a goodly number of Seniors on the team, and there must he some to make it a success. As far as the managing goes, it is needless to say that Holly, our distinguished classmate, will rank second only to McGraw in managerial ability. The Seniors did not do it all. but we would like to ask the Question, “What would the sports of old C. H. S. have amounted to without the departing Seniors V' Perhaps the busiest students in the school are the Seniors. With the first meeting of the Senior Class in February, the Seniors have started out to do a great deal. Meetings have been held regularly every week since then. At the first meeting the following officers were elected: President, Harmon Lott; vice-president, Howard Whelchan; secretary, Isabel Herman; treasurer, Hildegarde Mentley. Many important matters have been discussed at the meetings. The most important was the program which the class has planned. The program in- cludes the Senior Play, the Senior Ball, and the Senior Annual. Miss Sharer has been chosen as director of the play. It will, no doubt, be a great success, as we have in the class a great deal of talent along a dramatic line. The officers elected for the Senior Annual are as follows: Editor-in- chief, Harris Lowden; Business Manager, Emma Denise; Assistant Business Manager, Fred Culley; Sports Editor, Herbert Erbach; Art Editor, Wilbur Holly. ; t the last meeting the members of the class were unable to decide which was the best poet, so it was agreed that each Senior write a poem. The best poem is to be decided by Miss Emerson, Mr, Butterfield and Berenice Milner. Wallace Ware was elected Class Testator; Marjorie Sidam, Class Historian, i.nd Bruce Suter, Class Prophet. Mrs. Keenan and Hr. Hamilton were chosen as Class Advisors. The Seniors, who have taken over the candy sales, will appreciate your support. School Notes (Continued from page 2( ) Preparations for the operetta, “The Bells of Beaujolaiswhich is to be given early in May, are well under way. Rehearsals are already being held and Miss Spaulding promises as interesting a production as was enjoyed last year. It may be of interest to know that five of our boys are enrolled in Caval- ry Troop F. These are Gonion Speares, Gordon Howe, Harold Cross, Donald Davison and Lawrence Herman.

February 27, 1922. ELMER K. SMITH. Supervisor of Athletics and Recreation. Seniors in School Athletics Upon the arrival of the Senior Class at the zenith of its noble career, it is most fitting and proper that something be said in behalf of the part the class played in school athletics. At the first summons of the Soccer season, the Seniors turned out to a man. After the “sifting out process, (as only Coach Chamberlain’s uncanny judgment could sift) Culley, the boy with the terrible “boot,” Lanky Lott, Wegman and Herman were made regulars on the team. Herman's place on the All-Scholastic Second Team was the only place the school received. Lott, another Senior, managed the team in such a way as to receive a share of the praise. When Coach Chamberlain called the first basket ball practice, the Seniors were strongly represented, but Culley was the only one to make the First Team, and he did admirably. Ware was the lone Senior to play on the Re- serves who had a very successful season. The basket ball team was also man- aged by one of our number, Bill Wegman, who arranged a very attractive schedule.

30 THE W I T A N Junior vs. Sophomore Girls If you missed the basket ball game between the Sophomore and Junior girls, you certainly missed something:. Talk about excitement! At the end of the game the score was 15-15. In fighting for the next basket, Mary Castle turned a few very graceful somersaults across the court, thereby losing the ball. The triumphant Sophs captured it, put it thru the basket and so won the game by two points. The Junior line-up included: Mary Castle and Elizabeth Argus, Forwards; Alberta Porter and Mary Williams, Guards; Miriam Cleary, Side Center; Alma Fuhrman, Jumping Center. Altho wo are defeated in our first game, to show that we are good sports, we hereby challenge any other class team to a game. Juniors vs. Sophomores In an exciting and soul-stirring battle of basket ball the Sophs triumphed over the Juniors, thereby winning the school championship. The score was 42-26, but it was closer than it looks. With five first-team men, the Sophs should have rolled a much higher score against a team with but two letter men. However, we have no excuse to offer and are satisfied with doing so well.
