THE CARDINAL Basketball Banquet The Annual Basketball Banquet was given on Friday, March 27, in honor of the boys who worked so faithfully throughout the year to keep up the fine athletic standing of our school. Under the direction of Miss Anderson, the Domestic Science girls elaborately decorated the room and table in cardinal and white, and served faultlessly a delicious four-course dinner. Later in the evening Coach DiVall presented to each of the boys a large Cardinal and White E, along with rippling measures of friendly advice. Tracke 41925 As for Track work, Erie High is literally in the very stages of infancy, for hitherto, this has been a latent possibility in the school. However, when eagerness to participate was demonstrated by the boys, the needed apparatus was instantly secured, such as a javelin, a discus, and a shot. The Manual Training boys re- paired the jumping standards, dug the jumping pit, hauled sawdust wherewith to fill it, and measured off the track. When these preliminaries were completed, training was begun in earnest. The boys improved rapidly and some of them are now making very good records, which they hope to improve upon by the end of the season. Up to date, but one meet has been attended at which very satisfactory records were established as follows: Javelin, Housenga, 147 ft. 7 in., H. Young, 137 ft. 6 in., Shot, Housenga, 32 ft. 6 in., LaRue, 31 ft. 4 in., High Jump, LaRue, 4 ft. 11 in., H. Young, 4 ft. 8 in., Broad Jump, LaRue, 18 ft. 10 in., Discus, H. Young, 84 ft. 10 in., Housenga, 76 ft. 8 in., 50 yd. Dash, Arnett, 5 4-5 seconds, 100 yd. Dash, LaRue, 11 1-10 seconds. The Squad goes to Sterling, May 9, for which event the boys are rounding into fine shape with the hope of capturing several first honors. NW

THE CARDINAL Girls' Basketball Season The girls of Erie High started the basketball season at a brisk pace under the competent supervision of Miss Anderson and Miss Thomsen. Three teams responded at the first practice, one from the Senior class, one from the Junior class, and one from the Sophomore and Freshmen classes combined. The Faculty also organized a team which offered much opposition to the class teams. Several interesting games were played between these teams, as well as a game with Hills- dale. The Games The Senior girls won the first game of the season when they defeated the Juniors in a hard-fought game on December 4. At the beginning of the game the Seniors took the lead in the score, but as the Juniors were only one jump behind them, the game was exciting from start to finish. When the final whistle blew, the score was: Seniors 9, Juniors 4. The next battle was waged between the Juniors and the Freshmen. In spite of their stage fright, the Freshmen played an exceptionally good game. But the Juniors, having practiced up on the Seniors, defeated them with a score of 12 to 8. The Seniors and Juniors played a game which ended in a tie score C12 to 125 on January 9. Both teams had exerted themselves to run up their score, but to no avail. They started to play off the tie, but upon the injury of one of the players, the game was closed with no change of the score. The Seniors met with a crushing defeat at the hands of the Faculty on January 22, the score being 19 to 7 in favor of the Faculty. The score was 4 to 5 at the end of the first half, but the Seniors were not able to hold the Faculty after the latter were once warmed up for action. On January 30, the Junior girls defeated the Hillsdale Independent team with a score of 13 to 4. The Juniors had improved so extensively with each game they played, that they now overwhelmed Hillsdale with apparent ease. On February 27 came the final clash between the Juniors and Seniors. Each team went on the floor, confident of victory. Both did their level best, but the Seniors again came out the victors with a score of 11 to 9. P . 65
