T H E D Av 1 N Q I s On December 11, 1923 the D. H. S. girls held a meet- ing organizing a girls basketball association, electing Emma Johnson, President, Helen Logan, Secretary and Ruth Afilerbaugh, Treasurer. The seventeen girls were divided into two groups. The names Zev and Papyrus were chosen. The Papyrus team consisted of Ruth Afflerbaugh, Helen Logan, Barbara Kloster, Luella Nott, Marion Young, Marie Gunderson, Mary Gunderson, Vera Patter- son, and Mildred Meinzer, with Ruth Afilerbaugh as Cap- tain. The Zev team was represented by Josephine Price, Thelma Fitzgerald, Grace Degunther, Ruth Tielkemeier, Floy Hofmeister, Emma Johnson, Genevieve Davis and Margaret Meinert with Emma Johnson as Captain. In a week three of the Zev team dropped out. After a little argument the Zevs gave to the opposition, Vera Patter- Page Forty-Two N son and Mildrd Meinzer. Practice was begun the next week with great interest. Things went along in good shape. December 21, The first game was played. It ended in favor of the Papyrus team 21 to 16. All of the Zevs seemed to have smiling faces in spite of thenoutcome. On iaccount of the mumps and other inconvemences, basket ball, shortly after organization, became a dull past-time. 'After a reasonable time hostilities were again resumed.. As time passed the second -game was played which resulted in a score of 22 to 14, in favor of. the Zevs. U A week later a special meeting was held to discuss playing off the tie. The Zevs battled hard with the players they had, but as the game ended with a score of 22 to 11, it showed the Papyrus team the best tossers. This ended our year which seemed .quite successful. .

'r H E n AV 1 N o I s Field and Track A Considerable interest has been shown this spring in We have men entered in each event and here's hoping field and track work. We are looking forward to the that we place. Our local elimination meet took place county high school meet to be held at Pearl City, May 17. Thursday, May lst, at the school grounds. Baseball Although our supply of players was somewhat lim- ited, we gave a good account of ourselves and showed the fans that we knew something about this branch of ath- letics. We started the season rather late and had only time to display our clever work in four games, of which three were to our advantage. The first game played on our diamond proved to be a walk-a-way for our high school, for we trimmed the Or- angeville high representatives 10-3. We then tackled Durand high and this netted us a second victory when we defeated them by a score of 5--4. Our only defeat was handed to us by the Orangeville team who vanquished us 10-5. We held them on even terms till the end of the game, but fate smiled upon them giving them the neces- sary scores to win. The final game was played on the last day of school when we again administered defeat to the Durand aggregation. ' SCORES Orangeville H. S. . . 3 Durand H. S. . . . 4 Orangeville H.
