With the opening of the new school year, Lakeview's football team faced the hardest schedule ever undertaken by a Class C school. The schedule included two Class A schools, a Class B , and five Class C's . Against such competition we did not expect to win too many games, but as much enjoyment and spirit of fair play can be gained from defeat as from victory. Lakeview had a large number of re- cruits out for the team but size and lack of experienced players was a big handicap. Because of the bus system the practice time has been reduced which hurt the playing effic- iency. This problem will be solved in another year. The future looks brighter along the football line and great hopes are held forth for next year.

The fall of 1939 found the girls, last year's champions, eager to get out there and win as they did a year ago. Mrs. Switzer, their very capable coach, who has worked with many champion teams be- fore, drilled and groomed the girls for the coming season. The result was, as could be expected, the winning of the championship—Helena Fitzner was the high scorer of the year. The girls have made the splendid record of losing only six games in four years. The forwards of this year's team were: Helena Fitzner, Eris Abbey, Jeanette Petersen, Erma Kappe, Pearl Welsh, Reta Rasmussen, and Scharleen Baker, the guards: Hazel Sherman, Burnadean Houghton, Margaret Manley, Erma Kappe, Grace Carr, Mary Lee Saxton, and Phyllis Nielsen.
