COCHRAN AERIAL OUR COACH And lastly, but by no means least, One more we have as yet, A man whose great inspiring zeal We never can forget. H Whose tireless energy and push Have made our teams-so then Come let us shout in lusty tones- F-E-L-T-O--N l WILLIAM MURRAY, Term VIII. 0..,.i.i THE COCHRAN BASKETBALL TEAM HAD SUCCESSFUL SEASON The 1925-26 basketball team coached by Mr, Felton closed a very successful season, win11ing fourteen out of twenty games, which was a very good record. Mr. Felton agreed to award the players with little silver basketballs on which were engraved their names, positions, and the year. The players who received these trophies well earned them. These boys are: Captain, Walter Campbell, who played center, for- wards, Jack Price and Matty Siehl, guards, Fred Abdalla and Alfred Kime. There were three other boys who also earned their letters: Charles Leffler, George Warren, and Therman Kephart. The support of the team was due mostly to the backing of several clubs and the big candy race, which was won by rooms 107 and 109.

O PUPILS HAVE PICTURES TAKEN ON BLEACHERS All the pupils of Cochran witnessed the last football game of the season, which was played on November the twenty-fourth between Cochran and the High School Reserves. Each pupil and teacher had squares of blue and gold crepe paper. To pay for this paper a collec- tion had been taken up in each home room. Mr. Baldwin then led the pupils on the bleachers through motions which had been formerly practiced in Assembly. The blue and gold streamers and squares waved to the music and presented an attractive sight. Several pictures were taken of the pupils, the football team, and the band. The pupils were fortunate that afternoon, for they saw a football game freeg saw the birdieu Cin other words had their picture taken for the Year Bookj3 received two pieces of crepe paper in the school colors3 had lots of fun and excitementg and above all, they all saw Cochran's football team win with a score of 21-0. Mr. Ressler, Tribune photographer and father of our Student Council President, took several pictures of the students on the bleachers. The one printed in the Year Book was considered the best. It is inter- esting to note that every student present that day had his or her pic- without losing any games. ture taken. WILBUR GREGORY, Term V. .
