A Hearty Thank You To The Student Council The Ranger baseball team really does appreciate the uniforms which the Student Council so generously awarded them. The uniforms were bought with the proceeds from the Queen's Contest which was held re- cently. The uniforms are being bought by Coach Nicol for the play- ers. These suits should really bright- en up the looks of the team which previously had no uniforms. This also should perk up the attendance of the games since some of you Driscoll cats haven't been attending the games. The Student Council, while decid- ing whether to buy the uniforms, took a vote and approaved the purchase. It is said that the Student Council will purchase twenty uniforms. Not more than one or two other junior high teams have uniforms, the addition should put Driscoll right at the top in looks as they are al- already Winning their share in ath- letics. The Rangers want to express their sincere appreciation to Mrs. Atkins and the members of the Student Council, as well as to the people who participated in the Queen's Contest, for making it possible to have uni- forms for the baseball team. ueen's Race Ends, Crowning March 13 On March 13, the Queen of Robert Driscoll and her escort will reign over a coronation at Roy Miller Gym.
