E CIIO 17 ATHLETICS BASEBALL Only a few of last year’s baseball men were lost through graduation. 1 he line-up this year will probably be the same as last, with a few exceptions. We are proud of the fact that baseball receives the loyal support of every student in Clear Lake High School. Games have been scheduled with nearby neighboring schools and in this way the expenses do not become excessive. Carl Jackson and Kenneth Christison are prospective pitchers for this year's nine. Thomas Reindahl will, without a doubt, be behind the plate. Helmer Ellingson is a good first baseman and he is also efficient with the bat. Other promising candidates are: Albert Schulze, Laurence Larsen. Kermit Christison, Lome Campbell. Russell Sadler and Donald Martin. INTRAMURAL ATHLETICS During the past two years every boy in school has been afforded the opportunity to partake in athletics. When the past basketball season was in full swing every boy was a member of some team. In all there were ten teams which played according to a rotating schedule. There was a captain in charge of each team and the percentages were posted on the bulletin board daily. Thursday evening the gymnasium was always open to any boy in Clear Lake High School. This was a big night and there were as many as thirty boys in suit anxious and eager to get into the fray. Boxing quite often served as a pastime for those on the side lines waiting their turn to show their speed on the court. Baseball teams were organized in the same manner last spring, and this will be repeated again this year. Girls' athletics will be organized in the future entirely according to the intramural plan. Strong emphasis is placed on intramural athletics in our school and as a result training is afforded the many instead of the select few. CHEER LEADERS I he athletics would not be complete without a word of praise and appreciation expressed to our cheer leaders. Gladys Erickson and James Jones. James is a real leader with lots of pep and he isn't afraid to use his lungs. The boys’ basketball team say that the most rousing send off they ever got was when they left for River Falls. (It brought results.) Our cheer leaders were always on deck when a game was at hand, and they contributed considerable to the success of athletics in our school. BASKETBALL CAPTAIN-ELECT On the evening of March I Oth the basketball boys and Coach Brakken were entertained in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Keck. In the latter part of the evening the letter men cast their ballots for a next year's Captain. Kenneth Christison. star guard, was elected to pilot the team for 1927 and '28. Ken is a clever man on the floor: he dribbles, pivots, and passes very efficiently, and in addition he has a good eye for the basket. Chances for a successful season again next year look favorable under Kenneth’s leadership.

The Orchestra proved to be an asset to the school and received many compliments from the community. The following were last year’s members: Cornet—Albert Schulze, Edwin Jackson. Albert Yelle. Miss Lind: Piano—Robert Ashley, Benjamin West: Clarinet—Lester Sutton. Carl Jackson: Saxophone—Jerome Fink: Violin—Walter Josephson, Laurence Larsen: Drums—Kermit Christison: Banjo— Kenneth Christison: Trombone—Maurice Sadler: Mandolin—Miss Quilling. This year nine old members were left and Anna Marie Fink joined making a total of ten. I o make the organization more efficient, officers were elected to preside over meetings, collect dues and take charge of Music. The Orchestra has shown a marked improvement during the present year. ECHO Although our monthly school paper, the ’’Echo.’’ has been published for the past four terms we consider this to be a banner year in its development. Its four pages are always crammed ‘'chuck-full'' of interesting news, editorials and jokes. The first issue was dedicated to the Freshmen and contained all matter pertaining to the new students. The last issue will be devoted to the Seniors and will be edited by an exclusively 4th year staff. By careful and energetic management we have produced what we believe to be a first class high school newspaper and the equal of any of its class and size in the state. This success can be attributed to the talented and active staff as well as to the splendid faculty supervision. We owe a great deal to the advice and aid which we have received from Mr. Keck, who has taken a real interest in our paper. We have laid especial emphasis on the editorial page which certainly ranks high in importance. Anyone may contribute, providing his work conforms to the high standard maintained and treats of some subject of sufficient weight to be worth while. Frequently the classes have competed for the honor of seeing their own essays in print and in such cases it has counted as part of their accomplishments in English. Taken all in all, we feel that the Echo has well repaid the time and effort necessary to produce it, and those of the staff who vyill complete their labors in their various capacities this year, have the assurance that the paper which they have helped publish is an entire success in every way.
