ARTHUR R. MASON COACH Enwoon L. WATSON COACH HOWARD CHANTER THLETICS. in Jackson High School, has financially en- joyed many successful sea- sons in the past few years, due in no small measure to the executive planning of Arthur R. Mason, faculty manager. The completion of the football stadium, one of the best in the stateg the well equipped teamsg the new uniforms for the players: and the coopera- tion of the student body and faculty are just a few of the accomplishments of the manager. The school is very proud in- deed of Arthur lVlason's record as a member of the Athletic Board of Control as well as a teacher. HE FOOTBALL, swimming, and golf teams, coached by Elwood L. Watson, passed another enviable year as each team piled up Score after score against the opponents. In football the strong Lan- sing Eastern team, winner in the Five A League, was the only team to leave Jackson on the small end of the score, thus placing Jackson sec- ond in the League. The fans may well be satisfied with the record of Wat- ty and his teams. ASKETBALL, track and ten- nis, are Coach Howard Chanter's three prodigies, and into what large youngsters they are de- veloping. Under the coach's supervision and able training this year's cross-country team easily captured first place in the Five A League and won the first state champion- ship ever presented to the Harriers. This year is Chanter'S third as coach for the Vikings and what a record he is making with his teams.

He led his team through a very successful season, losing only one game and tying one. The Viking captain displayed great ability and alertness in close plays: was extremely fast and quick on his feet, and filled the position of left tackle better than any other player. Fred was always an out- standing Viking and it is the hope and wish of the school that next year the Orange and Black will have more like him. FRED JANKE JACKSON HIGH SCHOOL Page Sixly-Two 1935 T

The 1934 squad lost to, but were not necessarily out- played by, the fast Lansing Eastern aggregation, who won the Five-A League and the Stare Championship for the season. Only 33 pofnts were scored against Jackson while the Viking squad piled up a tstal of 126 points. Jackson High produced one of its best teams in re- cent years. The boys are all quite proud of their record and have visions of the State Championship in the near future. -IACKSON HIGH SCHOOL Page Sixty-Ong
