SPORTS As we, the students of Kelly High School began the 47-48 school term, we were confronted with the not too encouraging fact that there were fewer pupils enrolled than was anticipated and had been hoped for to fill out a good sport program. It also dawned on us that something should be done in regard to a definite outline of sports. In view of the fact that the sports program was never too encouraging in the past years, as far as competing with other schools was concerned, we decided to do something about it. Here are the results. As we began the school term amid the fury of the race for the major league pennants and the more furious world series, we considered the appropriateness of concentrating on baseball. Another reason why we started with baseball was that we were well fitted for it in the line of immediate equipment and talent. First came many hours of practice and finally our first game with a neighboring town. A severe case of jitters and an insufficiently trained team probably accounted for the defeat we suffered, a disastrous one, but winning the game was only our secondary purpose of playing (foremost being the fact that we missed shorthand class.) Our second game with another school was scheduled, and fortunately we were to play this one on our home diamond. This probably accounted for the milder defeat we suffered for we had many supporters from our home town to boost our moral stamina. These games were both very en- joyable which were due to the praiseworthy sportsmanship shown by both teams. Due to weather conditions we were forced to discontinue games until spring. What made this team so unique was that it consisted of the whole of our student body of our school. With eleven boys participating we had no talent to spare. Here is how the team looked on the playing field. In the outfield were Marion Korte, Raymond Winkler, and Donald Hunninghake. The infield consisted of Leland Vondenkampe, Lawrence Hermesch, Edwin Rottinghaus, and Daniel Kramer. Working behind the mask was Albert Schultejans; our mound ace and our ace in the hole was Richard Vondenkampe, leaving Norbert Steinlage as bat boy and Johnny Steinlage as ball boy.
