L it u llizf' THE TALEBEARER Q- :ii u n 1 Back row: Moss, VVells, Kuhlmeier, Westphal, Thoren, Meinert, Coach Stitzel. Front row: Fisher, Lawler, Germain, Smith, D. Fehr, R. Fehr. Kittenball The athletic season of 1930 and l93l be- gan with kittenball, a much loved fall sport for -those who come out for practice regu- larly and really work conscionciously to- ward the goal of success. As practice ses- sions opened up the game was supported by a group of hfteen or eighteen good husky fellows all set to win some positions on the team. Aftei tryouts and substitutions, Mr. Stitzel, arranged a line up which played with a few changes throughout the season. Fehr soon won the catching position, one that few players, especially Freshmen, are capable of filling. He filled the position very well and was also a dependable hitter. Moss, the captain, continued to be pitcher. His pitching gave opposing batters plenty of trouble in connecting and they may be glad to see him graduate, but we certainly are not. Vvells is always appreciated when the bases are full and two down. He also made a line first baseman and is expected to lead next year's team on to victory. Smith filled his position at second and close inheld very well. i u ii u 11:11:19 1 Page twenty 93 Lawler can be counted on to fill the space around third base. Very few grounders escape him and when he's at bat the ball is usually in for a ride. Fisher had the pleasure of walking to first quite often because the opposing pitcher was unable to pitch low enough to meet his demands. Meinert usually played left shortstop. Al- though he has shown ability at this place, he will probably help fill the pitching posi- tion next year. Wfestphal was a dependable hitter as well as a good outfielder. I'm sure he'll be missed in next year's lineup. Kuhlemeier played left field but probably benefitted the team most when at bat. Felir and Germain were both Freshmen so they have a great future ahead of them. The season taken all in all was really considered a successful one. The players feel that they have been benefited and will even have a better team next year. 1 Q- nm u n n u

They were organized for the purpose of creating competition between students. It was or- ganized many years ago to stimulate in- terest in literary work only, but at present if includes track, basketball and kimfnball. The Dalitonian society is the better of the two societies. just let me explain, to give you an idea of our worthiness. The word Dalitonians is, to many people, a word picked out at random without a delinite meaning, but to us it has a very definite meaning and symbolizes our main interest. The da is taken from Dakota, the lit from literary, and the onian is added for euphony. The Dalitonian society, in the opinion of a Dalitonian is easily the more outstanding of the two societies. XVe won over the Lakohis in literary work. Declamation was won by the Dalitonians and vocal cannot be questioned, because our song bird took first place in the county, competing with seven schools. The Dalitonians were victorious again in the inter-society basketball game. Winning by a big margin, the Dalitonians have proved themselves the better in this event. The enthusiastic cheers led by an enthus- iastic cheer leader, Lyle Heck, helped our team at least 99.5 per cent. Lee Meinert saw the great wide world when he won the pole vault in the track meet. Vtfoodrow won the dashes. lt surely is great to have a Dalitonian who can run like that. Are you still in doubt as to which society is the better. You can judge for yourself but every Dalitonian knows his society is the society. A DALITGNIAN. l n n n IUIIZ3 1 9 3 1 fzlilnl u n n I Page twenty-two
