ll ' SONAH-27 I NC VOLLEY BALL Volley Ball is an interesting sport, though not so strenuous as Basketball or Swim' ming. Like Basketball, a tournament was played out among the class teams, and although the graduating class lost the championship, they showed up well in the competition, and made life interesting for the Freshmen who won the title of champions for the season. Although this game appears very simple, it was made very lively throughout the tournament with the well balanced teams of the school. Volley Ball was one of the many elective courses offered in Physical Education, and many of the girls showed their enjoyment of the game by spending winter evenings in this pleasant recreation. It was from these evenings of practice and the capable supervision of Miss Bland, that the skilled enthusiasts were formed into competitive class teams. The enthusiasm shown in the tournament depicted the interest of the school for this popular sport. Madeline Hendershot, as captain, piloted the graduating class team through its second successful season. The graduating class team, are, left to right, standing: Kurtz, Mary, LeBlanc, Fabiolag Drohn, Gladys, Solem, Helen, Robison, Iva, Kugel, Mabel, Godfred, Guitenna, Steinaway, Margzcerite, Hendersliot, Madeline, Captain, Mick, Lavesta, Nevin, Teresa, Pierce, Pearl, Pratt, Lucille, Wells, Dorcas, Wilson, Leona, Nagel, Clara.

-.fz- ' I I ' f SONAH-27 ,. lc BASKETBALL Basketball holds second place in the affections of the students who are athletically inclined, in the opinion of the majority of the student group. Although it plays hard on the mental and physical forces of the player, it is well supported by the different student groups, for while it is strenuous, there is more drawing power to a finished game for the average enthusiast than many other indoor games and sports. Each class was represented by its own organized team, making competitive games worth while. In 1927, there being the complete class quota, a tournament was arranged. The graduating class won the Hrst game of a hard fought series from the Freshmen, with a close score. With the thoughts of oncoming state boards, and the more imminent graduation, the deciding game was not played off.

, -..H . W, SONAH-27 I 'H . ,. Wild Nell, the Pet of the Plains Introduction On the banks of Palmer Puddles, 'neath the green trees cool and shady, Sat the Seniors, eager, waiting. On the greensward stepped the reader Stepped the reader of the drama, stood erect and called the players. Introducing all the players, by their names and wondrous titles, Lady Vere de Vere, the Heiress, Handsome Harry, King of Cowboysg' Sitting Bull, the Sonah Big Chief, with 'LBull Durham, his Accomplicef' Hula Hula, Medicine Wonian, from the prairies around Kingsville. Last came L'Wild Nell, from Virginia, the loved maid of Handsome Harry. ACT I Rumbling o'er the dusty prairie, came a stagecoach from afar, From it stepped a noble lady, not unseen by Handsome Harry Lightly tripped the titled heiress, calmly sweet and unpretentious, Picked the flowers of the woodland, 'till her dainty feet were weary. Rested on a prickly cactus, unaware of Big Chief's hiding. Sitting Bull, with his accomplice, seized her from her cactus throne. Galloped roughly o'er the prairie Cfollowed close by Handsome Harry, With Wild Nell held close behind him, eyes agleam with jealous envyl. To the teepee quickly galloped, tied her to a stake for judgment. ACT II Hula Hula, their tribunal, then decreed that she should burn. As they danced around her, yelling, warfwhoops of their tribe and nation, Fate stepped in to save the maiden, in the form of Handsome Harry. With a whirling of his lasso, felled he all those dancing round her, Shot them all with just one bullet, dropped them quick on dusty Bad Lands. Then Nell, the darling of the prairie, joined the two, the happy lovers, Handsome Harry and the Heiress, Cwhile she strove to hide her feelingj. Having done her duty nobly, stabbed her aching heart in anguish. There the play so nobly ended, honor to Nell's sacrifice! s L. M. and M.
