This is East High's second year in existence and already she has made a name for herself in many ways, both along literary and athletic lines. Among those of athletic nature our track team is to be duly considered. By the untiring efforts of Coach Reisner and the Work of our star captain, Rus Payne, the track team of '21 has brought itself to the front. Besides our star distance man we have Don Becker, who does the hundred in close to record time. Grif Dye is hurling the discus over a hundred feet and Albert Rosen- stiel can always be counted on to place in the shot put. George Bangham also has vaulted himself into place. Ethan Allen can always be included in the list of point-getters through his high jump as can Carl Roos in the low hurdles and the 440-yard dash. All these boys obtained points in the Miami meet. There are others, although they did not place in the last meet who are improving daily and before the season is over We shall surely hear from them. In the mid-Winter meet East High brought home a cup. Then at Oxford, on May 14, our team evidenced another of its Winning streaks and took the championship of Class A, in the form of a handsome silver cup, scoring forty points against the Hughes team's twenty-five. There are several more meets yet to be run off and in these We expect the team to keep up their good Work. Whatever East High has Won or ever will Win, one can be sure that it has been,won fairly and squarely. Cleanliness in athletics is our Watchword and the boys of the track team certainly have done their share in keeping East High's slate clean. EDWARD KEATING, Manager. . nssl KN Q A

This seemed, at first, rather early, but considering that our first game was the seventeenth of December, it was none too soon. In response to the call over thirty fellows turned out. They were a promising lot, and included three regulars from last year's team. This was a much better showing than that of last year and the spirit displayed by the fellows was of the caliber which goes a long way towards building up a championship team. , i Conditions faced by the team this year were greatly improved in comparison with the hardships with which last year's team contended. The gymnasium had been practically completed during the summer vacation. With the excep- tioniof having the baskets up, it was ready for us, so practice began at once. The wonderful floor, the showers, and the locker rooms were a veritable paradise when We thought of that little floor in the Industrial Arts Building, lacking the conveniences of the modern gymnasium, on which we practiced last year. These improvements, coupled with the able coaching of Mr. Pfeiffer, and the wonderful spirit shown by the fellows, all pointed to the development of a team which would bid high for the championship of Cincinnati, as its sister, the football team, had done. - f After weeks of strenuous practice had been completed, the team seemed to be in readiness for its first scheduled game of the season. This game was with Loveland, and after the first whistle blew it was plain to be seen that we were I1571
