A high point of the season was when the Maple Leaves upset a highly rated DeKalb quintet. From the viewpoint of spectators the season was very successful, for this year,s attendance broke all former records. In the North Central Illinois Conference, Geneseo placed sixth wich a record of two wins and six losses. Spencer Fassett made honorable mention in a poll of coaches in the same conference. The varsity squad was as follows: S. Fassett, P. Griggs, Martins, Collis, R. Hayes, R. Schmidt, Glawe, M. Neulieb, R. Vickroy, R. De- Graves, R. Rassmasen, R. Arnett, B. Hawkins. Spencer Fassett was elected honorary captain. The fact that only three of these are seniors, the rest being juniors, along with the outstanding season that the junior varsity had points to what should be a successful season next year.

The varsity's chief weakness was a lack of reserve strength. For the season as a whole a record of five wins against four losses was turned in while in conference play they won two and lost three. Four lettermen returned from the fine '45 teamfi Don Meier was elected honorary captain for the 1946 varsity eleven. The freshman-sophomore squad had an exceptionally good year, turning in a record of six wins and only two setbacks for the entire sea- son. The underclass eleven elected Duke Malmquist as their honorary captain. VARSITY SCHEDULE Geneseoi 13 ,.,.. Geneseo 26 ..,,. Geneseo 20 ,,,,.

The girls may participate in various sports such as archery, soccer, basketball, and volleyball. Business meetings are held monthly. The girls journeyed this year to play days held at Bradford and Annawan. A play day was held here this spring. For the first time the G.A.A. had charge of a Booster Club party. The girls may win awards if they have a sufficient number of required points. A school letter G is awarded to any girl who earns 1200 points, an Iv for 1600 points, and an emblem in the shape of the state for 2000 points. The officers of the G.A.A. this year were President, Margaret Mohler, Vice-President, Elizabeth Bolleng Secretary-Treasurer, Margaret Heller, and Advisor, Miss Betty Lundahl. 28
