The Bl ues and Whites started out the season with four regulars from last year and other seasoned veterans Lynn Miller Kenny Whipple Harry Bingham and Dick Leslie. John Billington, who stepped up fast, was elected captain. The seconds had a nice looking bunch of hoop-tossers. These boys sort of showed up the first stringers at the first of the season but let down in the latter part. The Blues uncorked their bottle of the '35-'36 season by losing to Wickliffe 20-15 the first league game. Below you will find a resume of the basketball season. Following the week of the Wickliffe game, the Streaks came on the floor to trim Paines- ville 21-17. Mentor played host the next week, to take a victory by a score of 34-18. Next was the Alumni and they faded out in a 30-22 whitewashing. Madison went to Perry, our school rivalry, and went to work to a victory of 24-15. Bob Greene sank four double decker and a foul to annex honors in scoring. The Blues were in excellent shape for the arrival of Kirtland. They flashed too brilliant an offense for the boys from the sticks. Miller and Bingham, (Bingham, who had just started his season in a flash of hoop sinking) were in great form to tally, 18 and 16 points, which prac- tically defeated Kirtland, although the score was 47-22. Wickliffe was just as tough this time as the first and took Madison 33-19. These Mentorites are one tough hombre and the Blues had to bow to a 40-23 defeat. The Streaks hopped over to Geneva the next day to give Geneva a good fight. The final period ended with the score 24-24. Three minutes overtime were played and the Streaks let the Genevans slip in two baskets to win the game. Perry came to Madison in one big body and Madison wentto town to the tune of 31-24. Our own Tex Bingham flashed in five double deckers and a foul to cop all scoring honors. This fellow Bingham sure knows and plays his basketball. Madison traveled south to Kirtland to give them another practice game. Our Milt Preottle, who has been sitting down most of the time, finally had his chance and proved that he was a great shot. He tossed in two field goals and four out of five foul shots, to obtain scoring honors with eigh points. Miller and Bingham followed close with seven points apiece. Continued on Page 34 Twenty-eight

HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT In M. M. H. S. the home of the school is in the Home Ec. rooms. The school kitchen throughout the year is the center where social activities are planned and carried out as class projects. The food classes were opened to boys this year and it is hoped that in the near future one class will be a special men s group. The clothing and Household Management classes have re- modeled the auditorium curtains, patched the stage hangings, con- structed layettes for welfare babies, mended basketball and foot- ball equipment and redecorated both the teachers' and girls' restrooms. At all times whether pupils are enrolled in any classes of the department or not, they are encouraged to make use of the rooms and instruction. Many high school girls not registered in regular classes have learned to construct knitted garments. Patterns of the department are available to any girl in school as is the equipment. In all Home Ec. classes personal care and grooming are stressed. Demonstrations on courtesy soon spread to lectures by the instructor before Girl Reserve and Hi-Y groups. The climax of this came in the form of a courtesy program sponsored by the Junior-Senior classes. The idea of the program was to stress consideration for others in the hope that courtesy will become a permanent habit of the high school stndent. In a community where young men secure summer work on the lake boats as waiters, and where many local gatherings are held, there is a distinct need for food training. In a period when food must be more than ever economically prepared, and where garments must be mended and remodeled, the answer to the situation lies in the practical application made possible by Home Econimics training. Finally in an age where standards are changing and there is more leisure time, there is a vital need for proper identification of the values of life and a knowledge of handicraft to make a constructive life.
