And so at the end of a long hard da Y we wend our homeward way after seeing a few of the fair sights in and around Gering and our high school. 7 Competitive sports play a big part in adding excitement to the school year along with developing good sportsmanship and a willingness to co- operate between both those competing and those watching. Gering High School started their football season with a new coach, L. J. Fitzgibbon, who taught the team many new tactics. The high light of the season was winning the first game played on the new Memorial Field by defeating a favored Chadron team l2 to 7. Although they did not have a very successful season, the spirit of G. H. S. could never be beaten. Beginning the basketball season with victories, the Bulldogs won l5 games and lost only to Scottsbluff, Mitchell and Crete. Gering, in the Class B Tournament, played four games, defeating Mitchell for the Championship. The Bulldogs were awarded the trophy and a trip to Lincoln to represent the Panhandle B Teams at the State Tournament. lt was a very successful season and the town was proud of the team.

During the past year the band made a trip to Boulder, Colorado, had a successful clinic directed by Hugh MacMillan of Colorado University, and gave several enjoyable concerts. The Geri-ng High School Band, under the direction of Mr. Don Childs, is considered one of the best in the North Platte Valley. The vocal department, under the direction of Miss Mildred Forsling, also had a successful clinic directed by Warner lmig of Colorado University. This department produced an operetta, beautiful in costumes and music, in which all took part. Several students participated in the music contest at Scottsbluff and won recognition for G. H. S. The music department will always be a vital part of the school's ac- tivities and looked upon with admiration and respect. Xxxxhlxq mga 32' E f mf' viii iw uv' , nap ' T.. 5 E55 ii,-fi?

The main attraction of every high school is, of course, the upper classmen. These classes participate in all sports, music functions, and other extra-curricular activities. The spotlight is focused on the Junior- Senior prom as the most important event of the year. At this time, sophomore repre- sentatives serve the banquet and they may also attend the prom. - Plays are presented by the Junior and Senior classes in which everyone in the class participates- either in the cast or on special committees. Senior activities include Class Night, Sneak Day, Senior Dinner, Baccalaureate, and the final activity- Commencement. Besides honoring the Seniors at the prom, theJuniors sell pop and candy at the basket- ball games and usher at commencement ex- ercises. The sophomore activities are limited to a few annual parties as they save their money in order to present a better prom the following year.
