HOOSIER POET SENIOR GIRLS IN SPORTS Very few people realize that the girls in Riley have a few sports all to themselves. and that they share with the boys several of their so highly exploited sports. An interested visitor would rind that these energetic young women have a mar- velous capacity for physical activity never before suspected. The boys had better look out. Their worst rivals could very easily be the girls in their own school. An example of the spirit with which the girls enter into sports was the Class-Bas ketball Tournament. Some day a real bat- tle will be fought. and one of the follow- ing teams will be the school champions: Sophomore B's : Anderson, Hoff. Stanfield. Kuntz. F. Overholser. Whitin- ger. Fothergill, Yockey. Sophomore A's : Trowbridge. Ne- land. Prikosovits. Sauer. Beuko, Zillmer. Galbreath, Shock. Varga. Junior B's : Norris. Moore. M. Lee. Stern. Van Zant. Blair. Junior A's lTeam ll: Stickley. M. Rhodes. L. Camparone. Myers. Stoyko, Jones, L. Dragon. Junior i'A's fTeam ZH: G. Kifowit. Tabaczynski, Maloy, Campanaro. Harrell. Senior B's : Props. Nusshart. Hard- man. Vincent. Wolfe. McCombs, Cun- ningham. Nemeth. Smith, Vogel. Senior A's : Moore. N. Lemna. Rob- inson. Clements. McComb. Schultz. Three Senior A girls earned their sweaters this year. and they have reason to be proud of them. The girls are Clara Lemna. Nancy Moore. and Ruth Schultz. This year for the Hrst time Miss Ander- son trained the Junior High girls in the principles of basketball. She found them eager and ready to learn. Who knows?+ Among these girls may be a future star. This year the Junior High girls won second place in the intraschool contest for the City Champions in Volleyball. The last game was played with Jefferson and after a hard battle. Riley defeated them. 3-0. The girls who played in most of the games were:-Simon. Meyers. Busezesky. Czarnecki. Soos. Moffit, Close. M. Over- holser. C. Overholser. Lamond. Morris, Hoff. Whitinger. Pilsitz, Major. Carey. Leopold. Sugonitz. Holmes. Yockey. Baumbach, Wolfram. DeWitt, Stanfield. Pfender. The Junior High girls also compete with other schools in Indoor and Track. THE TREASURE CHEST FRANCES BERGSTEDT. IOA The barn was in flames when my brother and I arrived. The volunteer Ere department was working hard to save the house. which was joined to the barn by a short shed. We stood around watching the men fill the sprayers. All of a sudden the sides of the barn caved in, and immedi- ately the fire sprang even higher. Sud- denly it occurred to us that we might be able to save something from the fire. Cioing inside the house. we found a little stairway leading down into the base- ment. This happened to be just where the fire was the thickest. Looking down we could see a large box standing on the floor. in the middle of the cellar. The flames were fast creeping to it. and we de- cided to save this box. Immediately we thought that it might contain gold or some equally precious thing. Coming down the stairway we reached the bow which we found quite heavy. Each of us took one of the handles. and we started back up the stairway again, getting our eyes burned and our hair singed. Then we finally got the box out into the yard. Immediately we were surrounded by a crowd of men who praised us. They seemed quite anxious about the box. VW: watched while they opened it. anxious to see what was inside it. It was locked. but one of the men brought an ax and broke the lock. The lid was hastily torn open. and the treasure was revealed. What do you suppose was in the box? Bud Perkins twith hands over her eyesl . If you can't guess who it is in three guesses. l'm going to kiss you. Helen Koester: Jack Ifrost Davy Jones. Hia- wathaf' Proud Father: John, my boy. if you live up to your oration you'll be an honor to the family. Valedictorian: I expect to do better than that, father. I am going to try to live up to the Bacca- laureate sermon.
