He will be remembered by Dawson's opponents for his high quality playing at the pivot post. Bill Auxier, besides being the fastest man on the floor at practically all the games, is also a very good scholastic student. Being a Junior, he has one more year of service for Dawson. Paul Duryea, the red head, has two more years of service for Dawson at the forward post. He already has two basketball letters to his credit. Roy Auxier, Bill's brother, has held down a guard position for two years, and probably will for two more, since he is only a Sophomore. Last, but not least, Bill Vossen, the remaining Sophomore guard. He started as a forward when a Freshman, but this year he has held down his guard position from the first game. Besides the first five men, Lowell Heim, Gene Ray and Dean Suchsland were awarded letters. SCHEDULE 1941-1942 Dawson 29 Honey Creek 14 Dawson 32 -ss 1.

p SCHOOL DAYS VOLLEY BALL Front Row Cleft to rightj--Evelyn Heim, Audrey Spaulding, Ella Mae Sinnett, Onneatta Nichols, Lucille Rexroth, Colleen Mullins and Dorothy Lanning. Back Row-Miss Marian Peterson, Myrtle Mae Lanning, Mary Alice Mullins, Lucille Boring, Mary Margaret Quinlan, Marilee Lollman, Maxine Gilfillan and Dorothee Yates. Volley ball was inaugurated in the Dawson Schools in the fall of 1938. From the very first, the sport proved popular and by the spring of 1939, the girls had won the consolation cup in the Richardson County Little Ten Association volley ball tournament. During the school year of 1939-1940, new red and white volley ball suits were purchased, and with these as added inspiration, the team was runner-up in the second volley ball tournament to be held in the Little Ten conference. The year 1940-1941 was destined to be the outstanding season for the Dawson volleyballers, for in that year they copped the Little Ten championship by crushing Salem. This school year, 1941-1942, witnessed seven pre-tournament games, four of which were victories for the Dawson girls. The first team consists of Colleen and Mary Alice Mullins, Dorothy and Myrtle Mae Lanning, Ella Mae Sinnett, Marilee Loll- man, Dorothee Yates and Lucille Rexroth. Four of these girls, the Lanning sisters and the Mullins sisters, have been on the regular squad ever since the team was organized.
