Football A large number of well-conditioned boys helped contribute to the good season Evanston had in football. The Junior-Varsity had a full schedule this year. Valuable experience and fun for all makes that squad important. The addition of boxing, wrestling, and handball to the after-school activities has helped to get the fellows into good con- dition and to increase their powers of coordination. As a result of Mr. Vance's and Mr. Cameron's patient coaching a smooyh-runni-ng outfit downed New Trier for the fourth time in a row. LaGrange's jinx over the Orange and Blue was brought to an end this year, when Kein made a touchdown on the kick-off in the third quarter to start the scoring which ended 25-0. Substantial victories over Deerfield, Morton, Proviso, and W'aukegan made the season a success. The results were due to a combination of fellows working together with team success as their only objective. Hedblom's hard blocks very uncomfortably jolted his opponents, and his cool leadership helped to guide the boys through many trying situations. Minto, the lanky pass snagger, and lfrank Case, who broke his ankle in the Oak Park game, but came back so well in the New Trier game that he received All-Suburban Honors, did fine jobs of repulsing end runs. Nothing ever stopped Runge. The harder he was hir, the farther he carried the ball the next time. When a few yards were needed, Kein always produced them by bucking through any part of the line. This ability and his passing earned him All-Suburban Honors. Another sharer in these was jackson, the fleet end-runner, who ran all around the Proviso team. Sievers at guard was a bulwark on defense, slashing in or dropping back to cover up well on pass defense. His kicking was an invaluable factor in getting out of tough spots. Stewart was in the center of action, in smearing off-tackle plays. Bailey, Everhart, Rapp, Ream, Wal- worth, and Whittemore provided worthy help.

Girls' Athletics The business of the G.A.A. for the second year was carried on by .1 board consisting of the officers and sport heads. This year the president was Anna Weber. She has most ably led the association in all its activities, and has taken care of any matters that have arisen concerning girls' athletics. Aside from having earned her Major E and Honor Star, Anna received a coveted ayvard, the Honor Pin, at the close of her junior year. During her four years she has won every letter except one, and has been especially interested in hockey and soccer. In the position of first vice-president Helen Watt has done much to promote the interests of the club, taking charge of the publicity campaigns and being active in all sports, especially basketball and track. Esther Bassoe, second vice-president, has held a responsible position as chairman of the numerous heads of sports. The other executive officer of this year's board has been Lois Borre, who, as secretary, has done a considerable amount of work for the association. All of these girls have earned both Major E's and Honor Stars. The rest of the board consists of girls who act as heads of sports i-n their respective seasons. This winter found Veronica johnson once again managing basketball, the most popular sport. She has been a great success in this capacity. Virginia Bode a-nd Ruth Holmberg, directors of riflery and volleyball, were capable leaders in their respec- tive departments. Last Spring Dorothy Green and Betty Makemson conducted the activities of basket- ball and tennis, and Betty won the tennis championship herself this year. In cooper- ation with Alice Anne Kessler, who is also head of dancing, Isabel Boal managed track in an efficient manner. The minor sports program has been conducted throughout the year by Roberta Ostrand, and last year by another senior, Lucille Jacobson. An interesting addition to the girls' activities this year was the archery workshop, in which Helen McMillen has been especially enthused, and which has been made a major sport. Although she did not hold office in the G.A.A., Alberta Hofstetter has shown exceptional athletic enthusiasm throughout her four years. Another steady supporter of the G.A.A. has been Edith Hammar, who has come out for many sports, but has found greatest pleasure in soccer and basketball. G. A. A.

Swimming W'ith this year's Senior Class Evanston is losing several outstanding swimmers and point-collectors. jimmy Holland, a fancy diver, who not only took first place in every Suburban Meet this year, but also was Hrst in the Cook County and State Meets, will be greatly missed next year. George Borrowman has been outstainding in diving, too, for he won third in the State Meet. Ben Gage also did Fine work as a breast-stroker during his four years on the team. Albert deVarennes, a crawl-stroke man specializing in the hundred, turned in a very good record, and during his three years on the team Woods Hinrichs, another crawl-stroke man, worked hard. As usual the Swimming Team came out on top in almost all its meets, but had to share the Suburban League Championship with New Trier, since they had won as many meets as Evanston had. However, we won the Inter-Suburban Meet held at New Trier by the margin of 31 to 27 against our nearest rival, New Trier. There will be well-developed material for next year's team with Bill Iber, Bob and Sid Ferguson, Dick Sampson, Norman Carberry, and David Dale handling the crawl- stroke, Paul Smithson and Bob Eadie the breast-stroke, and George Spry and Jim Thumley the back-stroke. A strong team is assured, and the prospects of again winning the Suburban League Championship are good. if ,IV I I A ' 46' 4 '. psf' T'f.'
