Basketball •tsmi’i BUKtn. LL tkam wa» one oi the best teams we have IkkI in years. Although statistics anil games won and lost seem to contradict this statement, the spirit and eternal fire of energy burned througlxmt the whole team. Spirit and fight arc the essentials oi a winning team basically, hut our Orange and Mack raiders proved an exception to the rule. Central played twelve conference games this year anil won hut three. However, the average amount of winning points was just five more than Central's. In the first game C-cntral Ixrat West 25-16. The game proved interesting and encouraging for both the spectators and the players. However, the team suffered hitter defeat in the next six games. They dropped close games to Beloit, lust and a second game with West, hut lost to Kenosha. Racine Hor-lick anil Racine Park more decisively. Idle greatest margin of defeat was by Park in the first till between the schools. Score 35-20. The next game was a thriller and a hig surprise to everyone hut the Central players. Central upset a bewildered Kenosha squad in the second game hv a 25-M margin. Central s last four games were contests which neither the writer nor the reader will forget. Central won only one of the last four, but the greatest margin of defeat in the other three was only three points. Central fought a losing battle in the llorlick fracas, but gained the respect of the boys from Racine. hollowing these tilts. Central played two games. They dropped the first to Beloit. 26-24. and generally tore Racine Park apart on the following night. The disheartened players from Racine Park returned home much the worse for their 43-24 defeat. The last game of the year was with East I bgh. The game was a bitter disapjsoint-ment to the Central boys, who lost 1H-I7. The regular members of the Big Eight Conference team of fighters were George Lauck and fack Boyle, forwards; Don Schiro, center; George Torgeson, Joe Collctti, guards. We admire the spirit ot this year's team. They were discouraged, but they didn't quit. The team was coached and inspired by Mr. Mill Diehl, who will more than likely turn out a top baskctliall team next year.

 JU Qali! Tin emu' sjxirts season has hern very successful this year. ll started out with .1 hang in the volleyball tournament and continued the firing straight through the basketball, soccer, ami bascliall tournaments, and the archery classes. Archery was a new addition to our sports schedule this year. It was probably the most faithfully attended of all the sports. Hu- third periml tennis class was very well attended also. There is a lot more to these sports than getting one hundred (xiints. For proof of this fact. I asked some ol the senior girls, who signed up for every sjxirt |x ssiblc during their three years of high school, what after-school sports did for them. Joyce Hougland. our all-around star, says, I came in contact with girls I might not have met otherwise. After-school sport kept me in good physical condition, and furnished a lot of fun besides. I also have learned to keep a better check on my unruly temper.” I.uralic Litschcr remarked that girls’ sports improved the general sportsmanship of the girls who took part. A little girl with a lot of energy, Hermina Landolt. thought the experience of coming in contact with many taces and creeds was a very good and democratic practice, which says much in favor of girls' sports. Shirley Marty, a very busy person, said, “I have made many of my best and truest friends by meeting them during nflcr-schixil sports.” Beatrice Gloc stated that girls sports have furnished her an easy and pleasant wav of keeping her muscles from getting rusty. Katherine Powers is the smallest, fairest, and one of the best players on the senior team. She definitely agrees with many of the foregoing facts, and adds that her participation in girls' basketball has given her a better appreciation of the lx»ys' game by the same name. Alice Pert, this year's girls' sports editor, said, and still says, There is nothing new I can add to what has already been said, except to say that some of the happiest hours of my high school career have been spent in the gym with the other gym enthusiasts.” It doesn't take much time to be true to your team, if you have one. If you haven't one, you'd belter hurry to join, because you will find it well worth your while. It takes only one and one-half hours a week, which really isn't much when you stop to think what you get for it. Did you notice that most of the answers given l y the seniors connect girls' s|xiris with some sort of democratic training? Well, they do! Be faithful to your team, and you will keep your health, he able to forget your troubles, and get a gcxwl democratic training, too! Girls' Sports —Alice Peet
