BASEBALL On April 13 Coach Moore issued the first call for Baseball candidates. Of the 'twenty- one aspirants who turned out, three were let- termen-Leopold, Weislogel and Holland. From this inexperienced group, quite a few of the fellows soon developed into baseball players. We started the season with the boys taking the following positions: Catcher ....,,....,......,,, ,.,...,.,,.........,...

Baskin Lee Pratt was chosen manager for this sea- son, and has done a good job, even though he had to learn the art of keeping score through experience. Roscoe Baur is assistant business manager. The second team includes Bob Bar- ron, Place, Anderson, R. Miller, H. Miller, Muller, Schwartz, Allen, Hinkle and Cochran. Supplies for our new gym are occupying most of the space on our athletic field this year, and so we have had the handicap of playing all games away. This means that the boys play every game on a different field, and take about half of each game to get used to the surroundings. As this is written, the team has suffered two setbacks, one at the hands of Girard and the other from Albion. Everyone feels, however, that the experience and enjoyment gotten from these games more than makes up for the de- feats. And since the team is improving rapid- ly. the fellows expect to redeem themselves by moving over into the win column. Certainly we are getting a lot of m.aterial in shape for the 1937 season. Last minute news flash-We just beat Edin- boro 14 to 5.

BASKETBALL At the beginning of the school term basket- ball was far from our minds, but as the season approached, we became anxious to show our prowess. Proof of this was shown by the suc- cess of a home made candy sale at the fair, made possible by interested girls. A squad of twelve was selected by Miss Tate, our coach. Following is the schedule of the games and scores: Date Team Fvw.

These girls are: Char- lotte McCray, captain and forward, who proved herself worthy of her position, even though at the latter part of the season she was handicap- ped with an injured knee, Ellinor Weislogel, another star forward, who worked with Mc- Cray, and made possible the splendid passwork that went on in their courtg Katty William- son, fiery side center, who had perfect team- work with Margaret Essick, in the center. Sen- ior subs were: Virginia Anderson, who because of illness could not participate during the whole season, and Betty Getz, who was always ready to do her best when called upon. The usual lineup was: Forwards ...,. ,.... C . McCray, E. Weislogel Center .......... .....,.......,........,...,., M . Essick Side Center ..,.. ......................... C . Williamson Guards ........................ W. Furber, A. Williamson To Miss Tate, our coach, we extend many thanks for her never failing interest in the squad and her splendid coaching. We thank Arlene Anderson, manager, and her assistant, Lucille Hershelman, for their co-operative work and helpfulness. Thanks a1'e also due the Fairview Tavern for the use of their hall for practice. As a fine ending for the season, the P. T. A. sponsored a banquet with the basket ball squad as honor guests. At this dinner the inspiring and interesting guest speaker was Miss Erma Weinheimer, girls' athletic coach at Strong Vincent High School, who told us the history of the Olympic games, and gave a first hand account of the games she, saw in California Charlotte McCray, captain, Ellinor Weislogel, and Catherine Williamson, all of whom have been members of the F. A. N. club this year, issued invitations to the following new mem- bers who also received letters: Virginia Ander- son, Betty Getz, Margaret Essick, Ann Wil- liamson, Wilma Furber, Betty Walker, Doris Pieper, Virginia Stuntz, and Arlene Anderson, manager.
