The Tasks of the Athletic 1VICI1'1CIge1'S are many and varied. This includes taking inventory of all equipment before and after each season. Each time a meeting or a sports event is held the managers are the first to be there and the last to leave. There are always suits to be taken for repair, cleaning, and checking. During football season the boys have a job cleaning all shoes and helmets of mud. For their efforts they are awarded letters. lf you ask the players of any sport, baseball, track, basketball, or football, they will all agree these letters are well-earned. FRONT ROW: F.

The Vdrsi-T Club is an OI'gUI'liZCItiOI'l in which good sportsmanship is the major feature. This club requires its members to hold good scholastic standings and in doing this they are helping to keep the standards of the school at a high level. The T club lost three of its valuable members to an organization far larger than theirs. The United States Navy claimed Roman Kunecki, lack Syrek, and Ted Iarmuloski, former club president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively. The club offers many thanks to Mr. Iohn Saur, new adviser, for his interest in and cooperation with the club. He filled position vacated by Mr. Byrum and Lt. Emery when they left Tech High. ff' FRONT ROW: R. Nelson, B. Elve, K. Iandernoa, R, Farnham, C, Rykse, F. Fynewever. SECOND ROW: L. Bush, H. Newcomb, H. Cargill, E, Lankowski, L.

Harold Smith, an inlielder, was also a member ot last year's squad. Among the new players who have showed up best are Marvin Vander Band, C, Erwin Lankowski, OF, Iack Nelson, 2nd B. What the team lacks in material may be made up for by a willing, cooperative spirit. They are determined to give a good account of themselves in all of the games they play. Mr. Packard is coach.

At the beginning of the season about 75 fellows turned out for practice, and at mid-season there were about 50 remaining on the squad. Bud Elve, the only letter man from last year, with Iohn Bogema, Bob Otfringa, Casimir Polkowski, and Calvzn Hykse were the only veterans left on the team. Prospects are that we will have a very lair season with a more experienced team and a good season in 1945. 51

n luemaaiam MI. Louis M. Flower. who died February 28, 1944, was born in Augusta, Mich- igan, 45 years ago. After graduating from Western State Teachers' College in 1926 and teaching at Coldwater, Michigan, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, he came to Davis Tech, where he had taught fourteen years at the time of his death. During these years he was a teacher of auto mechanics, aviation, chemistry, physics, trigonometry, and geometry. . ' Besides being a class room teacher, Mr. Flower was a class adviser for 12 years, and the vocational counselor from 1936 to 1942. ln March, 1941, he became Super- visor of Vocational Training for War Production Workers, a position which he held until his death. Both teachers and students of Davis Tech liked Mr. Flower especially well for his wholesome and cheerful manner. His sympathetic attitude made it possible for him to be of great help to the many hundreds of Tech students who have been fortunate enough to have him for a teacher and adviser. He will be very greatly missed by students, teachers, and all who had the privilege oi knowing him. 53
