At mid-ocean they met with a great sea storm. Their mighty ship Dalitonia splashed on the rough ocean while billows raged and gales blew with ferocity. Ah! The captain sights an approaching vessel. Yes, a whole fleet of them. Warlike ships with their colors flying in the wind. lt is the Lakohis, bad sea pirates. Everyone on deck! Torches lit! And cannons loaded! The approaching vessel puffs her sails and there, glooms the dark, broad seas, awaiting the attack. The battle is on! Cannons roar, battle flags are furled. war drums throb and greasy mates plunge about. The heaven is filled with shouting and a spray of ghastly dew fills the air. Alasl Roy Kinzer pitches a ball that the Lakohis cannot hit and the bold pirate is out, The ball is a bomb which bursts into flames and it is not long until the entire ship is demolished. Ammunition is growing short. Three more ships on each side and the storm is increasing in danger. Basketball, Literary, and Track. Who are going to be the victors? The Lakohis throw a torch on the 'ADalitonia Basketball and she sinks also, Too bad! The lightning illuminates the heaven and We dimly see two pirates jump on the Dalitonia and stab two cf our best men, namely Oration and Declarna- tion. Vocal solo also on that Literary ship becomes very angry and cata- pults these trouble makers. Into the ocean they go. The Lakohis win this also. The men left on our side are ready to strike the Lakohis Track. Both sides are fairly even. A new supply of ammunition is discovered by a sharp- eyed mate and we are ready to witness the battle's end. How will it come out? Let's hope the Dalitonia will be the victor and rid the infested seas of this menace, the Pirates. Page Twenty-two

mmm m THE TALEBEARER imm m Track The 1931 track team had an interesting season. It was composed of good material and altogether presented a strong team. The team first performed at Pecatonica in an invitational meet. Journeying to Shannon, we had an interest ing dual meet with them. We lost to them by a small margin, despite the fact that we were without the services of two point getters, Moss and Westphal The next was a dual meet with the Freeport Reserves. This proved to be an exciting event, After all events but the relay were over, it was found that the score was tied. Then our flashy relay team went into action and won the day The relay team in particular deserves special mention. Composed of Kurtz Meinert, Lawler, and Westphal, it was defeated only once this season. That was at Pecatonica, where they took second place, The last and most important was the County Meet held at Lena on May 16. Here Dakota took second place, losing to Orangcville by only a very few points. Those winning points in the County Meet were: Kurtz, taking second in 220-yard dash, tied for second in standing broad jump, third place in the 100-yard dash, and ran as anchor man on the winning relay team. Wells, taking first in pole vault and fourth in standing broad jump. Germain, taking second place in one-half mile run and first in mile run Meinert. taking second place in pole vault, tied for fourth in high jump and ran on winning relay team. Moss, taking third in high jump. Westphal, taking first in standing broad jump, fifth in shot put, and ran on the winning relay team. Lawler, taking fourth in running broad jump, and ran on winning relay team. Smith. taking third place in tennis. With the present outlook, the 1932 season should be a successful one.

V Lakohi Literary Society Our School is composed of two ships and crews, the Dalitonians and the Lakohis. The crews engage in friendly combat at fixed periods throughout the year. Each crew is composed of about forty Sailors. The first Contest this year was the Kittenball Game. The Lakohi Crew showed themselves superior by winning the fracas. Both sides entered the next combat with even more spirit, determination, and zeal, but again the Lakohis carried off the honors in the Basketball Game. The Dalitonians fought nobly but to no avail. Finally one of the biggest skirmishes of the year is planned. Everyone prepares himself for the event, every Sailor does his bit to add to the colorfulness of the affair. It is the Literary battle for which they prepare. Each Sailor com- petes with his own crew flrst to see who shall represent the Lakohi. Real talent comes to the front in the persons of Don Angle, Clarence Riemer, Leona Messman, Marie Henze, Lester Wells, and Kathleen Belknap. Again the good ship Lakohi comes out ahead. Last of all came Track but at the present time this is an unfinished battle-both crews having temporarily retired before com- ing together for the final struggle. I-Iere's to the Lakohis, may they win again. Qi I' . W. ,J Z l, -L-. 4' J La. fc g fi fl 'Q ' 1 ,ff .2 ,- ,oaafo ' .H -11' f L1 0 'LQ ' '.
