As this goes to press we are now warming up for our spring games with the hope that they will be as enjoyable as the ones already played and give us many more hours of very sporty recreation. As the cool weather set in we sensed the urge of the gridiron in our veins and every afternoon, weather permissable, we would indulge in a game of this hearty sport hoping someday to become great in this field. No commercial gains were made in football, it broad- ened our interest and knowledge in it and provided us with many enjoyable hours which would otherwise have been spent in idleness. Then when cold weather set in we took upon ourselves a pug- ilistic attitude and set out to master the art of self-defense. Indoor boxing matches, that contained plenty of action, were witnessed by a roaring student body. This proved to be very instructive to the participants as well as amusing to the spectators. After we summed things up, we decided to nominate Marion Korte as featherweight champion. But let us not forget the part played by the girls of Kelly High School, of whom there are sixteen. Following the example of the boys, they planned to play different schools but only managed to play one game before old man winter put the lid on ball playing for the year. But their part does not end here. For at games played by the boys’ team they have been a great morale booster and have in- spired us to do better; a help which cannot be left unpraised. Before all of the praise and credit is distributed let us not forget a very important cog in the wheel of sports. This is our Pastor and coach, the Reverend Father Placidus Kieffer. To this individual goes the credit of backing us up in all our sports undertakings and supplying us with equipment and sound advice. We appreciate all he has done for us in the line of furnishing transportation to and from games and even from reading that baseball rule book to us under that elm tree, to looking for lost balls in the (you guessed it) grader ditch. This about winds up our sports roundup of Kelly High and we feel that we have done much in the direction of understanding the meaning, the true meaning, of sportsmanship plus making many friends. And as we gradually leave school to make room for the advancing grades, we may look back with pride at our contribution, to- ward a better Kelly High School through the advancement of sports.
