FOR 1936 TR MURAL GOLF: Golf tournaments are held twice each year-in the fall and in the spring. Any boy interested in golf is eligible to enter. Com- petition in the past has been keen although the number of contestants has not been large. TENNIS: Singles and doubles tennis tourneys are conducted for both boys and girls. A mixed doubles contest takes place after the others are finished. Some form of recognition is usually given to the win- ners. A boys' tennis team has been formed to play teams of other schools if possible. These boys, all members of the school tennis club, are rated as the best players in school. BASKETBALL: Both boys and girls have a home room basketball tournament each year after the regular basketball season. A senior home room won the contest this year while the girls, tourney was taken by a sophomore room. SWIMMING: An intramural swimming meet is also conducted an- nually for boys. Because Senior does not have a pool, it is held at the local Y. M. C. A. WRESTLING: The regular intramural wrestling meet was not held this year. Usually quite a large number of boys compete.

FOR 1936 .. ' .S Opening the season, five boys made the trip to Iowa City to compete in the annual Indoor Conference Meet. These boys came home with third place in the meet behind Clinton and Davenport, who entered large squads. A sched- uled dual meet with Rock Island on the home field was postponed because of cold weather. The following week-end the two mile relay team entered the state indoor meet and placed fourth in the event, by bettering the school record by several seconds. Captain Slack, Vosberg, Specht and Barsalou formed this combination. Clinton, conference and state indoor champions won over the Red and Blue in a dual meet. Vosberg broke a school record in the javelin. In this meet two state champions were dethroned. The half-miler and sprinter who win in the state meet the week before were de- cisively beaten by Vosberg and Saun- ders. The first annual Davenport Relays found Dubuque well represented. The two-mile relay team took first, as did the sophomores in the 440 yard relay. Davenport swamped Senior 791-6 to 39 S-6 on the same day that the two- mile relay team finished sixth at the Drake Relays in the high school div. sion and bettered their own record. Monticello and Platteville were defeated in dual meets by the Senior reserves by the score of and 79 1-6 to S01-6 respectively. At the Clinton Gateway Classic Senior scored ten points to tie for twelfth place in the meet. The Sprint Medley Relay team, which placed second bet- tered the state record by three seconds. A fourth place in the 220 yard clash netted Dubuque its other points. Travelling to Freeport for the first dual meet away Senior came back with a draw 61-61.
