TIGERS The Iefferson Tigers after being organized for the third year by coach A. R. Warst- ler, first met Lima with a resultant 18 to 22 score in favor of Lima. A few days later the team met the Alumni, the Tigers defeating them 22 to Io. The next opponents were Iames- town :md Wawaka with scores of 1 5 to 26 .md 37 to 58 respectively in favor of the opposi- tion. On November 27th, the Tigers met the Vandalia team and, surprizing them in a close game, came through with a winning score of 34 to 32. Our next opponents were the Bris- tol Pirates, Scott, Concord and Vandalia again. The scores were, 14-44, 14-22, 17-59 and 25-34 respectively in favor of the other teams. The first game of 1936 saw the Tigers playing host to Millersburg, defeating the visitors 27 to 26 in an exciting last minute rallv. After this victory jefferson lost three games by scores of 13-34, 20-33 and 13-38. On February 8, the Tigers got back into the vic- tory column at the expense of the Shipshewana Indians. This was also a very close game with the score I4 to I3 in favor of the Tigers. With three games remaining in the schedule, the Tigers lost to Woodrow Wilson 28 to 34 and to Wawal-:a 16 to 55, but had the honor of winning the last game ofthe season by defeating Scott 2I to 15. The Tigers played good ball throughout the season, usually playing larger schools. Jefferson finished her playing schedule by wiiming 5 out of I7 games. Encouragement is found in the fact that the second team this year defeated Alumni, Shipshewana and Scott twice, outscoring their opponents 24 to 23 as the season's record. -- Rov GARDNER Tigresses The Jefferson Tigresses started their career in the year 1933, and having learned some of the technique of basketball have progressed each year.

Orchestra and Band We feel that considerable progress has been made in this field during the past year under the direction of Mr. R. S. Welty. The Band entered the County Band contest, and although it did not place in first division, it showed marked progress over the preceding year. It also entered three members in the soloist contest. These three recieved first div- ision honors in the county contest, and placed in second division at the district contest with competition from various schools, such as Goshen, Elkhart, Columbia City, South Bend, Fort Wayne, etc. The Band has an enrollment of 25, and the Orchestra 23. The Band is losing but three Seniors and the Orchestra four. We are hoping in future years jefferson will keep improving as they have in the past.
