After the third game, however, the boys began to click and by the end of the season had developed into the prettiest working team Highland ever turned out. It was also the best scoring team we ever had, piling up 362 points for an average of 28 each game, while holding their opponents to 262 points or an average of 20. The scoring was well distributed, every player proving an able shot. James Ward led with 77 points, followed by Cartwright with 58, Griiiith, 51, jarreld, 47, and Gray, 37. SEASON'S RECORD H.

We were unfortunate, however, in that eight of the squad graduated in January, and several others Of the stronger players were out at critical times which possibly cost us an excellent chance to win the Junior Hi Championship. Averaging 20 points a game, the team proved as strong a scoring team as we have ever had, but the scoring was not confined to one or two as formerly. Lester proved the best, getting 107 points, Winsett 70, Stewart 70, Mc' Clellan 44, Pearson 23. Their opponents scored 238 points. SEASON'S RECORD H. H. 48 . . . Warner 13 H. H. 15 . . . Warner 11 H.

Qilfif 'H I-GCI'- 7'I lj gl.icsa-im S f X X Athletic Notes HIGHLAND WAS OVERSTOCKED with good material for a boys' soft ball baseball team this spring. With about two dozen trying for nine positions it has been rather hard to pick a regular team and be fair to all. With all three pitchers back from last year's team we were well provided with chunckers. The fielding is the best any Junior High School team has shown and the hitting has been plenty good in practice. With eight or nine games scheduled for the season the boys are confident of winning more than half of them. Y Y 1 The girls' baseball team with very little experience has been working hard to improve their hitting and fielding and are sure to win a part of their games. 1 Y Y For the first time a track team was organized and made a very creditable show' ing, with Bowker, Crook, and Strain showing up well in the runs and jarreld, J. Ward, Tidwell, Bowker, Cartwright, Reece, Honeycutt, and Toki doing well in the field events, 7 Y 7 A wrestling team composed of Gonzales, Ben Williams, Hitt and Toki took part in a tournament held by Mr. Givens at the Y. M. C. A. and gave a good account of themselves. Y 1 1 -There was no attempt this year, as in 1935, to have class baseball teams but some of the hobby groups organized and played a number of games. Miss Harris' group claimed the championship on an undefeated record. V 1 Y 1 Without being stressed to a point where they interferred with the regular school and class activities, athletics enjoyed a very good year. Several delightful banquets added a social touch which aided greatly in building up a wholesome spirit. Though the school was not able to give letters for all activities, several boys deserve honorable mention for taking part in football, basket ball, baseball, and track. These are Ray Strain, Ray Cartwright, Edley Jarreld, and James Ward. lgTlity'1'0
