The boys found themselves in a relapse against Laona but had enough class left to pull through with a 15 to 10 triumph. The Cardinals still couldn't shake off their slump against Three Lakes but they still escaped unscathed by turning in a 20 to 1G win. Wabeno was next to try their luck in stopping Krumm’s now rampaging Cardinals at the community hall. They went the way of all others as the Redmcn bounced back, after two rather dull showings, to score an overwhelming 27 to 3 victory. The Cards were the first to open the Goodman classy gymnasium to conference play and they did it very handily by coming back in the second half to score a 24 to 15 win. Argonne came here next, determined to stop this fellow Chartraw. They did it very nicely 'but forgot all about watching Totten, Faulkner and the rest of the Redbirds and as a result were whipped 35 to 20. The game at White Lake will always remain in the memory of the many Crandon fans who saw it. Behind 22 to 11 at the start of the final Quarter, the boys refused to call it quits and with a regular story book finish outpointed the Lakesters by a nose, 23 to 22. Wath fifteen straight under their 'belts, the Cardinals wanted one more, and got it by turning back the invading Laona Kellys 21 to 12 in the final game of the season. So ended the greatest basketball season in the history of the local school. You might call them a miracle team and their coach “a miracle man” but that isn’t quite fair for there wasn’t anything miraculous about their victorys. They won most of them the hard way by refusing to be whipped, and Crandon fans hand out orchids to a great team and a fine coach.

Basketball With just two veterans returning and the other three positions to be filled with green material, the outlook for a successful season looked dark last fall. It cannot be better emphasized than in Coach Krumm's own words, “wo'll be lucky if we win half our games ’ The boys practiced hard and looked good but no one gave them a chance in their opening tussle with Eagle River. What did they do? They went right out and handed the Eagles a 25 to 19 set-back, and a “find 4 was uncovered in Ivan “Bump” Jones, who later developed into one of the finest defensive players in the conference. Next came the Hiles encounter and Captain Ray Chartraw made it vic-try number two by ringing up 21 points to lead his mates to a 36 to 17 victory. . , • The Three Lakes game was next and the Cards showed they could stand pressure when they played their ace, Chartraw, with a long bucket in the closing minutes to come through with an 8 to 7 victory. Gaining confidence, the Redmen came from behind again in the closing seconds to whip Eagle River for the second time 21 to 19. Just to show the fans that scoring 21 points against Hiles wasn’t luck, Captain Chartraw did it again as the Cards romped to an easy 34 to 6 win over Goodman for their first conference win. The Wabeno game, there, showed again that Krumm’s warriors could come back as they put on a fast last quarter finish to win 25 to 16. Next came the return engagement at Hiles and after a close contest, the Cardinals found themselves on top at the end by a 19 to 14 count. Whats this?—seven wins in a row?—but beating Argonne on their own floor was their next tough assignment. The Cards found themselves behind 10 to 7 at the half but with Chartraw and Faulkner leading a stirring second half rally they pulled away to an easy 25 to 12 decision. Next came their biggest test of the year—White Lake. Wbuld their winning streak be stopped by a great White Lake team? Chartraw said “no” as he put on a sensational shooting spree to score as many points alone as Coach Laabs Lakesters while his mates picked up the other seven to win 25 to 18.

The members of the faculty and the members of the band took the first steps in raising funds for the purpose of buying uniforms. A card party was held at the high school for that purpose, which was very successful. The next step was the organization of a Band-Parent Association, the purpose of which was to find ways and means of financing the band. On December 15, 1037, the parents of all the band members met at the high school, and at the business meeting the following officers were elected: President—Mr. John Kocian, Vice-President—Mrs. H. W. Hansen, Secretary-Treasurer—Mrs. Mildred Hooper. The officers then met and decided to put on a musical revue sometime during the first part of the year, to he held in the high school auditorium. Also a series of card parties were held in the homes of the parents, and the proceeds were enough to finish paying for the uniforms.
