Students turned their energy toward attending the games and presenting pep skits. The majorettes, Pep Club, and band rose early many a morning to prac- tice the stunts which kept spectators entertained at half-time. When a desire for song leaders was ex- pressed, Pep Club appointed girls from their ranks for the job. We defy anyone to say this season Wasn't tops and certainly one which will be remembered for years to come. CINDERELLA BOYS In the beginning, everyone knew we were bound for State. The mid-season slump changed these ideas, and no one knew until the last ten seconds of the Pasco game that we had made it. The Bulldogs fooled many a team that had a game cinched, only to find when the clock ran out that Ellensburg had the lead. Start- ing with a grand flourish by winning the Wapato jamboree, they steamed along to the end of Valley play, being upset only by Marquette and Yakima. Again beaten by Yakima in the Valley Tournament, they earned the second place berth to State. The Bulldogs were the Cinderella team of the State tournament. In turn, they defeated Port Angeles, Roosevelt, and Bremerton and lost to Walla Walla only in the final minutes. Bob Godes was first string, all-valley and unanimous choice for All-State. Stu Hanson and jerry Hanks were named to second team all-valley and second and third string All-state.
