A.'s, clubs. and banquets, and having appeared once were urged to come back again. Two of the more important banquets were the Chamber of Commerce Banquet, and the annual F. F. A. banquet. The quartet was featured on a band con- cert program and added greatly to the suc- cess of the spring concert given by the vocal organizations on May 9. Although composed mainly of new voices, the girls' sextet has brought forth some ex- ceptionally fine music. They have made many appearances, at various clubs, churches, and P. T. A.'s, both rural and city. They sang at a Band Concert program and at the Spring Vocal Concert May 9th.

This enabled them to tie for the conference championship with Eaton Rapids, each team winning three and losing one. The only consolation the Comets have is that they trounced Eaton Rapids ffor the first time in many years, by a score of 20 to 6. Even when losing the first three games, the Comets showed that they had the ability and will to win, though they always seemed to come out on the short end of the score. ln- Thirty-two Football Team Fourth RowfL.

A great deal of the success of the team was due to the ability of the players to work together sacrificing individual glory for team glory. A large share of the credit also goes to Steve Szasz, for his able coaching. When going was rough, he always had a cheerful
