BASKETBALL Coach Weir, Sturm, U. Pfeffer, B. Pfelfer, Student Manager, Kreileing Hueb- ner, Miller, Schneider, Hoffman, Pfister, J ones, Sermersheim. Twenty-five victories and but five defeats! The Uld Post Tourney Champion- ship! The Sectional Championship! To better that record was the task faced by the Wiltlcats at the beginning of the season. After a long season made tougher by a series of bum ankles, third quarter jinxes, heart-breaking overtime losses, and what-not, the record for the '38-'39 season reads sixteen wins and nine losses. Not quite as impressive as last year's record, but good enough against some of the stiffest opposition in the state. A close examination of the record reveals that six of the nine losses were by two points or less. Included among the losses are a double overtime loss to the H'burg Hunters and a sectional loss to a crew of Hot Purple Aces representing Stendal High School. SENIOR MEMBERS OF THE TEAM Janie Sermersheim -7- a classy dribbler - dazzling speed afoot - a long shot artist, and the sparkplug of the team. Nig Pfeger - offensive threat f powerhouse on defense 7 a picture player. Norb Schneider - a capable replacement - tough off the back-board - fine dribbler. Gene Huebner - a capable replacement - hook shot specialist - expert long range bomber. 31

SENIOR CLASS PLAY GUESS AGAIN The offering of the 1939 installment of would-be Barrymores and Garbos was a comedy called 4'Guess Again. We don't know whether the audience was mys- tified at all by the machinations of real and would-be lords as hotel guest baitg but if laughs are any indication, the audience was amused. Though the direc- tor's disposition was not prevailingly sunny, rehearsals were fun, if somewhat hectic. The cast fgiven in full belowj included the handsome Norbert Schneider as Bill Douglas, romantic male lead, the beautiful .I ean Huls as J anet, the sherog Johnny Eckstein, that veteran of the footlights, as Waldo, chief comic relief 3 and eleven other characters who furnished assorted dramatic complications and laughs at obliging intervals. The plot was centered mostly about the guests at Edgewater Inn, down the coast from Hollywoodf' In the play, a love story, and a near panic resulting from an overly successful attempt to bolster the failing guest list of the inn by the alleged registration of a real and a fake English lord-rubbed shoulders ami- ably with a health enthusiast's and a fond mama's ambitions to marry off her eligible daughter.
