But it was not until after the last football game that Coach Romans called oilicial basketball practice and to that first call over forty boys responded. This was the largest squad in the history of the school and until it was cut to eighteen, two shifts had to be run in order to handle the group. Floyd Olson was the only letter man available from the previous year, but using him as a nucleus and Bunk Hampton, Joe Binge, Scar Nelson, Don Larson, Lorney BISHOP HILL EDITION Larson, Russ Johnson, and lVIartin Appell, Coach Romans produced as successful a team as Galva has had for several years. The record of victories during the season itself was not spectacular, but the llflaize and Blue placed second in the Dis- trict Tournament, losing the final game in a hair-raising battle. The hopes of the next two years lie in the present second team which, so far, has given every indi- cation of having what it takes. If this squad works hard they should make basketball history for Galva High. 2

Only one of these is a letterman but all tl1e others are working just as hard. In the pole vault Greep and VVhite are contending for a place, and in the high jump, Hampton, Olson, Pfeil, and Greep are work- ing hard. Hoare and Nordstrom in the IQO high hurdles and Collis- ter and Greep in tl1e low hurdles are going fine. Clollister and Doye pump their feet as hard as they can in the 100-yard dash and Doye also runs the 220 well. lllorgan and Sundberg should come through in the AMO and Binge and Hamlin in the half-mile. BISHOP HILL EDITION VVestlin, Teecc, Simmons, and Massingill work on the mile, Roh- inson heaves both the shot and discus, while Sundherg helps in the shot and Hampton also helps in the discus. Hampton and Doye throw the javelin, and although their ain1 isn't so good, the javelin goes quite a Ways. In the broad jump Collister, Greep, and Binge sail through the air with the greatest of ease! ?? The first track meet this year took place on April 16, 1936. IVethersfield and LaFayette were here. IVethersfield tied LaFayette for first place with 49 points each, while Galva received only 28 points.
