They trimmed us 27-I4 on our own field. We won three, lost four and tied one during the year. Now we look forward to the round ball game. The All Conference football team for the Northern Michigan Class C Conference as picked by the coaches of the league listed Harry Wolf and Mike McKillop to the first team and Darwin Mason to the second squad. The famous Jerry McSafety ventriloquist assembly delighted the elementary grades toda . Thanksgiving vacation on these two days and no doubt we'll all be happy to get back on Monday. The first basketball game of the year and we played the Chiefs of Cheboygan on their court. A close first half made the Blue Devils determined and they won 63-47. The second marking period ended. Report cards coming up. Gaylord's Blue Devils lost a heartbreaker for their new coach, Jim Mongeau, tonight. Charlevoix stole the ball with just four seconds left to play and beat the locals 49-47. Just two points. Oh, so, close. It was Charlevoix's l3th straight win over Gaylord. Our cagers lost their third straight in East Jordan to the Red Devils by a score of 51-42. How rough can it get? Tonight the Blue Devils went down to a fourth straight defeat. The irony of it all is the fact that Gra ling was the winner by two points, 55-53, and once again in the last four seconds . Five straight times. Mancelona continued the losing streak of the local cagers by winning out 58-53 with the Ironmen getting the five point margin with a last second basket. The Student Council sponsored a big potluck Christmas dinner in the activity room for grades 7-12. The elementary had their parties the ,day before. Mistletoe was very much in evidence as we departed or ome. School resumed this morning. lt's a long grind to the end of the year, so they tell us. Skiing practice began today. Lots of snow, too. The year l957 didn't provide us with much hope on the hardwood court aatlgg local boys lost their sixth straight and Boyne City was the victor, 5 - . Ski meets began today with Traverse City. We lost but the prospects of Patty Freel and Lynn Meade repeating as all-state skiiers appear good. We have meets every Wednesday through the end of the snow season . Well, what do you know. The Basketeers finally snapped a losing streal b trimming Pellston's Hornets, 69-49. Yea, Team! The Pep Club treated the Key Club to special dessert today after having lost a ticket selling contest. Tasted good, like ice cream should. 48
