Girls’ Basketball COACH, Miss Herriff CAPTAIN, Eeola Francis A basketball meeting was called early in the fall by our coach for the purpose of electing a captain and of organizing our team. We elected Evelyn Rowland as our captain. In January the captain left school on account of ill health and it was necessary to elect a new one, who is I.epla Francis. There was quite a hit of excitement in the Athletic circle when Mr. Winn told us that we could play basketball in the town hall. Early in the fall we had a game with Ortonville which we won by a score of 12 to 0. In December the Girls’ Basketball team bad a shower for Evelyn Rowland at the home of Bertha Zvcli. Eater we bad a luncheon at the school to raise monev for our pictures In the “Oracle.” We hope that the townspeople have enjoyed the basketball games as much as we have and that they will continue to support the teams of the following years. 20

Boys’ Basketball COACH, I). M. Winn CAPTAIN, I.auren Miller Lauren Miller, as captain of the team and right forward, gave a splendid account of himself all during the season and was given honorable mention at the district tournament. William Dunston, as hack guard is very largely responsible for our opponents low scores as he seldom missed getting the ball off the backboard and breaking up the opponents’ defense. Stanley Orr, as center, could out-jump most of his opponents and would always be found in the vicinity of the ball. No play was complete in which he did not take part. Fdward Seeterlin, as running guard showed plenty of fight and added greatly to the strength of the defense. Ralph Lawson, as left forward showed marked ability to cage his attempts for goals especially in the Goodrich game. Leroy Francis, as substitute forward was always ready to take the place of either of the other two forwards and always gave a good account of himself. Walter Andrews, as substitute guard, showed his ability as a guard in the Rochester game, and will surely fill position as a guard next year. Manley Walter and Allen Fiske were always present to give the first team opposition in practice games. 25
