 P ge ftixnty-seven , cMemories of High School Days Happy, happy High School days Soon will all be past; When Seniors take their separate ways On life’s broad field at last. We've trod the path of those before us Nor did we hesitate To fill those places left for us With honors large and great. We hope, we trust, we pray, As through this world we go. To hold in Glory's ray Honors that we may show. Let the hours Ik filled with what will la t. New tasks each day begun ; And with the memories of the | ast Hope comes to everyone. Our aims are not easily won. But by slow degrees we rise: Good deeds arc always nobly done And so prove just and wise. Months and years have ]»ssed. (iuided by our Faculty: Memories of them shall last Till launched in Eternity. Alice H. Kruell. '16.

Page hventy six (Athletics Athletics at the Kouts High School «luring the season of 1915 16 did not make a very good showing. The main sport taken up was basket ball. Owing to the small number of large boys in High School the captain was rather at loss when it came to appointing the substitutes. The live on the team were: I-a Count, Maxwell, Werner, Wright and Dunkel. I .a Count, the captain, who is believed to l e the heaviest center in Northern Indiana, always outjumps his opponent and is always over the field in a moment. He guards his opponent well, and very few baskets are made by his man. Iai Count is a crack at shooting baskets, for he can make them from any point in the field. Maxwell, who plays right guard is one of the heaviest guards in Northern Indiana. Although he is not so good in making goals, he always guards his man well and few baskets were made by his opponent. Dunkel, the left guard, is the hardest working player on the team. He tries to guard his man very closely but sometimes fails to move quickly enough. Werner, always there with the fighting pirit, is one of the best light forwards on the field. He is somewhat light and is pushed about a good deal, but once he has a chance to shoot it means a score for old K. H. S. Wright, the left forward, is the equal of Werner, except in making goals, but it has been necessary for him to stop playing on account of his ill health. The record of the team for the season was five straight de- feats. The boys all had the right spirit but could not succeed. During the first half of the games played, the local team was generally left far behind, but in the last half the boys gained rapidly. The team thought of playing all winter, but as no place to play indoors could be obtained all hopes were given up and the team disbanded for the season. Next year's team will be made up of four of this year’s players and there will be three or four others that will be able to play as substitutes. It is hoped that in a few years Kouts High School will have a very good team for all of the small boys have taken an interest in the game. At the time of this writing, there is some talk that a track team will be organized and it is hoped that this will soon take place as we have some very good runners and jumpers in the school who would do their best to make the undertaking a success. Edwin Koester, T8.
