Betty Marsh Winifred Abney Robert Powers Vanita Ferguson During the football season the organization served as a pep band for all of the home games. 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.

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.

Eighteen uniforms, each of which consisted of a cap and cape, were ordered from Collegiate Cap and Gown Company at the approximate cost of $140.00. The uniforms are cardinal red and white to match the school colors. The caps are red, all-wool gabardine, each with a stiff raised crown, two-inch white band, and heavy black visor. The capes are red all-wool gabardine trimmed with white silk braid. Each cape has an old english “C” on the lower left hand side. The lining is white rayon satin. White trousers, white shirts and black ties complete the uniforms. The band really presents a very blazing spactacle. After we received the uniforms the band played at the home basketball games, and performed several formations during the halves of the games. During the course of the year the band has been invited to play at several of the school and city functions. The organization supplied the music for the Senior Play which was held in the Crandon Theatre. On May 2, the band -played for a program sponsored by the Woman’s Club of Crandon and on -May 7, traveled to Hiles to take part in the Forest County Music Festival. There, they were part of a ninety-five piece band made up of the members of the Wabeno and Laona High School. BOXING This y.sar boxing was introduced for the first time. As we were late in getting started, only two cards were held, both with Goodman High School. Goodman won the first card 6 to 5. Bud Fannin won the last bout of the evening on a technical knockout in the third round, however, this bout did not count as it was an exhibition bout. On the following Monday, April 11, a return card was held at Crandon. Crandon won this card by a score of 6 to 3. The squad this year composed of the following boys: Winfred Abney, Luther McMillion, Franklin King, Arthur Campbell, James Faulkner,, Leonard Adkins, Ray Schnaedter, Charles Grusntzel, William Wilson, Edward Gilbert, Thomas Fannin, Paul Harris, Glenn Carter, and Vernon Johnson. Next year we hope to make boxing cne of the major sports. MC” CLUB The “C” club, organized under the direction of Mr. Krumm, consists of lettermcn only. There are small dues to be paid each year and the money obtained from parties, benefit shows, club dues, and donations from the business men have been turned into the club treasury where it will be paid cut for awards for the lettermen each year. To become a letterman and a member of the “C” club a player must take part in either ten actual minutes of football or play in at least ten different quarters cf basketball. The “C” club had the honor of sponsoring the first party of the year. Lunch was served at intermission which consisted of cake, sandwiches, and coffee. Music was furnished by our own Gene Kocian and his Knights of Swing. The party was a success even though the football team had dropped a hard fought game to Wabeno that afternoon. The club cleared $21.00 which was put into the treasury to help pay for awards for football and basketball lettermen.
