JUNIOR PLAY The House of Strangeness, a njystery comedy in three acts, was presented by the Junior Class on February 28, and March 1. The action of the play took place in a rather old house located in the coun- try somewhere along the main automobile route between New York and Montreal. The break-down of a bus caused strange and comical situations to arise when criminals, newspaper report- ers, a detective, an old maid, an old demented maid and the rest of the passengers were forced to stay under the same roof one night. Just before the final curtain, the reason for the weird noises, importance of the stolen papers, and the identity of the crimin- als, was uncovered.

Last year the softball season was withheld because of the Polio epidemic� ’. e played seven games as follows: Monroe At Leaf River Opp. 19 L. R. 6 Ashton At Leaf River 10 20 ♦Leaf River At Forreston 8 2 Leaf River at Byron 12 6 ’.7innebago At Leaf River 13 6 Leaf River At Pecatonica 3 6 Stillman Valley At Leaf River 8 11 •Leaf River protested this game because of a rule base running� L� R� won the protest when brought before the Athletic Club and therefore, won the game. BASKETBALL Thirty-two hopeful and ambitious players responded ihe call for basketball. The first contest seemed to come too early in the season and the lack of experience was obvious as the boys came up with the short end of a 28 to 39 score at Franklin Grove. In the Open House game with Milledgeville, we were more fortunate in holding the opponents to 21 points while scoring 23 points� Every available bit of space was occupied and the crowd was filled with excitement at the closeness of the scores as the game neared the finish. As the season progressedi the team began to play better games but seldom were able to emerge victorious against the stronger teams. In the game at 7 innebago, Leaf Biver was able to record its first conference win. ',7e then lost to Monroe Center and Ashton before defeating Pecatonica in a game where the high number of fouls probably influenced the final outcome. There were 63 fouls committed and 36 free throws made and 30 missed during the game. Leaf River made three less field goals than Pecatonica but made up the difference of the 5U 52 count on free throws. Leaf Fiver accepted an invitation to the Forreston Holiday tournament along with Stillman Valley� and Mill- edgeville. In the Conference tournament held January 21 through the 25th, Leaf River played Monroe Center there. However, Monroe Center proved to be too powerful on their own floor and Leaf River was eliminated on a score. The Regional Tournament was held at Mt. Morris on March 4� through the 7th. Again Leaf River was matched against the host. This seemed to be too great a mental hazard for the boys and Leaf River came up with a 3k k2 defeat. The second team was more successful than the Varsity and won 13 of their 18 games during the season. The first game proved to be a very tough one v hich we won 22-20 in the second overtime period. As the season progressed Shannon, Stillman Valley, and 7 innebago, were handed defeats. The Monroe Center game here was another thriller •that went into an overtime period and was finally won 22-20 Ashton also was handed a defeat. The first loss of the season was handed to us by Pec- atonica on a 27-28 count. The outstanding thing about that game was the fact that out of 23 free throws we missed 18. Then after defeating Forreston in the regular Conference game we were unable to participate in the Forreston Hol- iday Tournament because nearly all of the team was snow- bound. Franklin Grove was our next victim. It seemed as though the boys had trouble getting back in the swing after the holidays, as we lost the next two games to Byron and Stillman Valley. On January 17« we defeated '.Yinnebago here and it wasn't until February 11, that we had another game this one at Milledgeville. This was lost by four points and again the number of free throws missed was responsible. This game we missed 21 out of 27 attempts. For the rest of the season the games seemed to come one on top of the other. Monroe Center handed us the last defeat of the season, while we were able to win over Forreston, Pecatonica, Byron and Ashton. i The basketball teams were rather disappointed in the outcome of the conference , but they say that it was their own fault. Here’s hoping that next year the Varsity will do better. year was as follows: Varsity Lightweight L. R. Opp L� R. Opp. The Schedule for this 1946 Nov. 8 Franklin G.

They were very enthusiastic and had the same remarks behind scene. I can beat you around the field any old day, and the retort Oh yeh I I'd like to see ya If Twenty boys came out this year. They were all new recruits but four—Bill Wertin, Gene Cross, Ralph Meier and Francis 7ickes. The only point men from last year were 77ertin and Meier.

I On January 11, 1947 the Senior Class spons- ored a community dance. The theme of the dance was a '.Vinter Wonderland, and the music was furnished by Ward Ferry's nine-piece band from Rockford. The hall was gayly decorated with snow- men. snow-laden trees, stars, a moon, and much crepe paper. Everyone present had a very nice time and so it was decided that comnunity dances could provide good clean entertainment for our community. Several other dances were sponsored later on. Each year the Seniors and faculty shoose a senior girl to become a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. She is chosen on the basis of qualities for good citizenship, leadership, dependability, service, and patriot- ism. This year Lorraine Hartje was chosen for this honor. During the school year a series of movies were shown to the students and to special classes. The English classes were shown a series by the March of Times which dealt with the prevention of crime. The Phys. Ed. classes were shown several reels of basketball practices and rules, and the Home Ec. girls were shown several movies on various phases of homemaking. On March 14� the Sophomores sponsored a carnival. There were events that are common to all carnivals Some of the activities were a house of thrills, ring tossing, bingo, ball tossing, food stands, a movie house and a pop- corn stand After the last basketball home game of the season, which was held on February 21, the Sen- ior Class held a basket social Both old and young brought baskets and joined in the fun Music was furnished by the school recordio as the many couples enjoyed their lunch From January 30 to February 10, the students enjoyed an unexpected vacation Due to the heavy snowfalls, the buses were unable to deliver the students to school This year it seemed that the students fav- orite means of recreation were dancing and skat- ing, All four classes sponsored skating parties Besides these there were several parties spon- sored by individual students and the F,F«A A magazine sales campaign has been sponsored by the Student Council the past two years A portion of this money was used to purchase a combination recorder and record player call- ed the Recordio.
