llimolieurnolla Day On a beautiful Thursday afternoon, June the fourth, Indianola held its annual Indianola Day. The new Indianola band played several en- joyable numbers before the march heralded the approach of the- Queen and her attendants. Ah, the lovely Queen, Jean Hoover! Her court consisted of equally lovely girls-Maxine Edmonston, Evelyn Keller, Virginia Lanum and Marie Toro. Ushered in by dancers, the Queen and her court .came between rows of girls holding garlands of flowers. It made a beautiful picture against the background of trees when they grouped themselves on the throne. Jean McCown was the crown bearer and Marcia Campbell crowned the queen, signifying that Jean Hoover was a true Indianolan. 'Qu Then followed five lovely dances directed' by Miss Schmidt. Z After this beautiful spring pageant, the onlookers -returned to the building for a further good time. Here they found. exhibits, refresh- ments, a puppet show, movies, and the dance hall.

SPORTS Indianola has been very successful in sports this year. Coach Priest has turned out all-winning teams. First in basketball, tn- inulans won eight out of ten games, a very nice average, don't you think? In swimming, Indianola gave Franklin' a race for first place, but we were nosed- out by o11e point, .39 to 38. Nevertheless, awe took second place in this event. Now we have baseball. There were five games scheduled. Of these the Indians won three and lost two, which gives them a rather good average. Did you know that in the last three seasons Indianola has won eleven and lostonly four baseball games? I -Edward James. BARRETT DEFEATS INDIANOLA V-On Thursday, May 7, Barrett defeated Indianola in the second game of the season. This game was more or less of a pitchers' battle, Spires, the Barrett pitcher, having a little the better of the going. He struck out fourteen men in seven innings and walked only four men. Zack got Indianola's only hit in the second inning. Two straight er- rors by their second baseman and Zack's hit paved the way for the only Indianola run. The game was tied until the third inning when a hard hit ball to right field went through Hann for a home run, scoring three -TUHS. Lerch, pitched a nice ball game, striking out nine men in 6 innings and walking only one man. He allowed only 6 hits, one be- ing' at two-base hit and one going for a home run on an error. The bases stolen were one each for Hann, Stuart and Zack. The totals for this game were for In- dianola, 1 run, 1 hit and 3 errors, for Bar- rett, 4 runs, 6 hits and 5 errors.

The totals for this game were Indianola 4 runs, 9 hits, and 7 errors, for Starling, 8 runs, 10 hits, and 1 error. T0 THE CAPTAINS Do you know who the captains of our 'arious teams are? ' In basketball Fred Hann did a fine jJJ of captaining our team. We had a very good team and a good captain. The swimming team also choseltheir cap- tain wisely by chosing Mac Van Dyke. His team took second place in the City Junior High swimming meet. Last, but not least, the baseball team chose Ed Merritt to be theircaptain, and they could not have done better. ,I think all these boys did a finejob and deserve a big hand for their work.
