With a lot of poor material, hard work, and great coaching, Coach Carl Rigney was able to come through with a very commendable record for both basketball and football teams. The fellows have a great respect and admiration for the Coach, and also for the way he handled his team. T ' Now, just when it looks as if Hickman has found a championship coach, the Army steps in and says they would like him, too. The fellows, and student body are really sorry to see Coach,' leave us, and we certainly do appreciate the effort he has put forth in bringing the Kewpies back into the top rank in our athletics. All we can say, Coach, is, f'Thanks a lotf' y Miss SPATH That slight and spritely little lass seen running around 'theihalls in a white gym suit is none other than Speedy alias Miss Spath. In addition to teaching gym classes, this conscientious young instructor also takes time to sponsor the G. A. A. organization, and to be co- sponsor of the Pep Squad.
