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.
