GIRLS' SPORTS .-A - . .m. ,, L l 4 GIRLS' VOLLEYBALL TEAM Although most of the volleyball team graduated last year, there was another group of girls, just as skillful, to take their places. The girls proved their ability by winning most of the games they played. Miss Bailey, the girls' physical education teacher, stressed good sportsmanship and coopera- tion, which played an important part in their success for the season. The girls on the team included: Mae Webb, Lois Taylor, Betty Strong, Donnis Sauer, Doris jones, captain, Heide Sachse, Peggy Haberman, Norma McCrady, Flourence Looper, and Charlene Miller. The games played this year and the scores are listed as follows: Grants Pass ................................ 37 Kerby ..................,... ........ 3 1 Hugo .................. ...... 1 9 Kerby ........ ........ 6 5 Jerome Prairie ...,... ...... 2 4 Kerby ........ ........ - 41 Hugo ,....,,........... ...... 1 5 Kerby ........ ........ 7 3 Grants Pass ................................ Kerby ........ ....... Rogue River .....,........................ Kerby ................... ..................... Most of the girls on the team this year will be here next year, which indicates that there will be a strong team for next season. INTERCLASS VOLLEYBALL An important event in girl's sports is the interclass volleyball games. This is something that almost every girl in school can participate in and it proves quite excit- ing for them. These interclass games are important in that they do a lot towards turning the girls interest more to physical education, which is really good for than. The Sophornores were the champions, a title which they well deserved. The seniors it took second place, the juniors third, and the freshmenhlast. :QV Q N I 'fo a - 2' . - i .X . A 1, -,.3.

would be left out of the next days playoff. With luck in favor of Kerby, our coach, Mr. Hansen, drew the By for the Badgers. After enjoying a full day of leisure in the Ashland Hotel, our men came to battle with the mighty Langlois team. In spite of the courageous battle on the part of K. U. H., they were again out-scored 29 to 13. Edward Santoes was high score mary in the Langlois game. The team and Student Body thank Mr. M. Sachse for the use of his car in trans- porting the boys to and from the tournament. IMPROVEMENT OF BASEBALL DIAMOND . This year the Kerby Shop Class made the following improvements on the school ball diamond: They set new poles for the backstopg stretched and patched up the wire. Wings were added to the bacl-:stop to prevent the ball from going into the bushes. A bench was constructed on one of the wings for the convenience of the team. The ball diamond itself was laid in a slightly different direction and was lined out with lime. Applying the new 1942 rules, the base lines have, after some deliberation, been laid out with the exact proportions, a new home plate and bases were put in place. The improvements were completed by clearing the out and infield of the numerous small and large rocks. BOYS' SOFTBALL TEAM The Softball Team was successfully coached by Mr. House and Mr. Hansen. Influenced by both advisors good judgment, the team was expected to go far, which we are sure it would have done, had it not been for War priorities. Due to this, how- ever, they were unable to arrange a game with any other school. The boys on the team were: Catcher .......................... .....

L AXVRENCE ANDERSON Third Base ....... ................... G ILMAN SQUIRE Short Stop ........ ................... T OM WALTON Left Field ............ ..........................
