VVe opened the season on a sour note when we lost our first game to Irvington by a score of 18-16. Then we won our first game from our neighbors, Trinity Lutheran School, 10-8. After this, we travelled to Irvington and gained revenge for our earlier defeat by beating them 16-11. In this game, Kent nd Orville hit home runs. VVe closed our season by again beating Trinity. This time the score was 19-18 in our favor. Billy Christian was our pitcher in all four games,-and won 3 while losing only 1. Others on the team who won letters were Virgil Wehking, Kent Nierman, Orville Sensei, Frederick Cunningham, Walter I-Iongsermeier, Roger Hake, Ervin Chesney, Maurice Garnholz, John Hines, and Billy Westerfield. OIL BELT CONFERENCE Our school has become a member of a new conference called THE OIL BELT CONFERENCE. Other member schools are Irvington, Young, Shanna- felt, Antioch, Iuka Vernon and Alma. It is the intention of this conference to sponsor competition in softball, basketball, and track. p The conference track meet will be held at Young School on May 9, 1947. We hope to bring home a trophy-preferably the championship one. The season of 1947-48 will see us competing in all three sports in this conference. CROSS COUNTRY TRACK I Cross country running was taken up for the first time this year by the high school. Robert Brink, Roger Brinkmann, Marvin Haake, Hilbert Brink- mann, Leroy Greiman, and Carl Rommelmann made up our team. After train- ing all fall, we went to the district meet at Belleville on Novmber 9th. It was a cold, rainy day, but the meet was held ,at Oakridge Golf Course. East St. Louis won the team title and the chance to compete in the State meet. - VVe finished fifth ahead of Mascoutah. It was lots of fun, but two miles is a long ways. f if

Athletics BASKETBALL The season of 1946-47 was our worst one in the past five years. This year's team had plenty of ability and spirit, but lacked heighth. As a result we finished with a record of eight wins and fourteen losses. However, we did finish second in the Washington County Tournament and thus were able to add one more trophy to our collection. At the beginning of the season, we became members of the Big Six Confer- ence. This included teams such as Sandoval, Patoka, Young, Central City, Odin, Ashley, and Wamac. We finished our conference schedule with a record of two wins and six defeats, and were defeated 29-10 by Odin in the first game of the conference tournament. Our next tournament was the Southern Illinois junior High School Athletic Association District which was held at Nashville. Freeburg defeated us here in our first game by a score of 25-21 as we missed 11 out of 12 free throws. Then in our last tournament, we defeated Irvington 38-22 and New Minden 38-27 to advance to the finals. Nashville had beaten Ashley and Okawvilleto win the other final berth.
