; ATHLETICS ] Athletics hold an essential place in any complete High School education. They not only create an interest and enthusiastic spirit in the school, but they develop character, physique and health. Clean athletics are an uplifting element in any school. Early in the fall of the present school year the basket hall squad was called out by the coach, Mr. Metfessel. The boys responded in fine shape and soon developed into a fairly formidable team. Enough can not be said for the splendid spirit and enthusiasm of the people of Dunkerton that has been shown in support of the team. To “Dad” Shimp we are indebted for the suits of the boys. The business men of Dunkerton paid the bill but “Dad” did the soliciting. Working with only an outdoor court we can offer plenty of excuses for the scores that are seemingly against us, but what is the use of the excuses? We have enjoyed the sport, have played the game, and are looking forward to that day in the not so far distant future when we shall have a gymnasium second to none.

Baseball The boys of the High School have organized a team this spring, with Floyd Guyer as the Captain. Daily practice has been held and the team is rounding into shape. We have played three games to date this spring and have succeeded in winning two of them. The three have been with Fairbank Grade and High School Team. Floyd Guyer has done the most of the hurling; others who have worked in the box are Lefty Barlow and Eddie Gardner. Brant, on the receiving end of the battery, Sam at short, and Liebert on third, are deserving of especial mention. Volley Ball The girls of Dunkerton High have not been able to make much of a showing as athletes. We have had a great deal of sport and have enjoyed more than one Class scrap between the Freshmen and Sophomores. Marvel Adams and Irene Penne have been the stars for the Sophs, while the Freshmen stellar performers are Alice West and Dorothy Greelis. Page twenty-five

The Team “Sam,” Captain, can stop anything from a Ford to a basket ball player. He plays like a cyclone and is an extraordinary hard man for an opponent to follow. “Bond, our chief point-getter and an accurate basket thrower. More than half the points registered for Dunkerton have been made by this pluck) forward. “Ichabod,” long and lengthy, reaching up there into the high altitudes and can usually be depended upon for the tip off. “Gus,” the mixer, usually found in the neighborhood of the ball. “Brant can be relied upon for his hard work and efficiency at guarding an opponent. “Lefty, the coming athlete of Dunkerton High. “Eddie, the Slippery Soph, his size prevents his guard from locating him at the critical moment. “Penne” takes everything cool and easy but can guard with the next one. “Chuck” failed to get into the pictures but was there in practically all the games. A most dependable guard. Page twenty-six
