In spite of the obstacles confronting them, Coach Zell and the girls carried on. and they are to be commended for the splendid spirit they have shown.

0----THE EPOCH,1927--l-l--o ped some of the biggest men in the county. Cool, confident, determined, and a scrapper-that's Curly. He will continue to say The bigger they are the harder they fall, next season. . Joseph Derek Miitsch, substitute guard, and big boy of the team, was another stone in Gas City's defense that stopped many of its op- ponents this season. What he lacks in gab he makes up in iight. Harry Kimes, Russel Smithson and Edmund Vironet, the remaining three men on the squad, are hard, clean lighters and good sports. Al- though participating in only a few of the Varsity games they trained faithfully and made the regulars play hard to retain their positions. They will be with us next year. John Wagoner, student manager, has iilled his position better than any one has in previous years. He is the strongest Tiger booster of them all and besides being Gotschall's right hand man was a pal to every man on the team. He will also be with us next year. IO! The Second Team Mr. Routh, Coach Donald Simons, forward Willard Oliver, center Charles Harris, forward Harry Price, guard Charles Ray, forward Ralph Atkinson, guard Darrow Pearson, guard Ernest Gotschall, guard Clarence Graves, guard Marion Teague, forward Although winning only a few games this season, the Second Team played hard and upheld the standards of Tiger sportsmanship. The boys trained faithfully and deserve credit for the spirit they have shown. Mr. Routh, who coached the team, taught them the principles of the game and has made each individual a prospective Big Tiger.

o----11--THE Eroen, 192vi1w.10 U Basket Ball From every viewpoint the season of 1926-27 has been the most suc- cessful Gas City High School has had. In spite of the fact that the team was small and inexperienced, the high school and the town backed it to the limit. The team has been especially good in scholarship and sports- manship. They have complied with the training rules and in every Way have lived up to the standards that characterize a Tiger. Wilson is the only man who graduates. He is a valuable man and will be missed, although Gotschall has some excellent material to replace him with. Next season promises to be the best one in the history of the school. With the splendid spirit that exists throughout the entire school system and the town supporting the team and coach, our prospects for the coming season are very bright. We wish the best of luck to the Tigers of 1927-28. 202 SOME YELLS THAT DID THE WORK Fight! Tigers! Fight! Tigers! Fight! Fight! Fight! Yea! Rah! Tigers! Yea. Team! Say. Team! We're proud of you! Yea!
