For the next game, their opponents were their former team mates, the Alumni. The Alumni seemed to be a little too much for them, and the Blue Streaks lost 28 to 15. For the next game the Streaks traveled to Geneva and, lacking experience, came back defeated 62 to 7. The next week the Blue and White again traveled, this time to Kirtland to come out on the small end of a 52 to 27 score. The ever-trying Streaks went down under a 45 to 20 score the next week against the more powerful Wickliffe. The following week Chardon took home a 34 to 17 victory. With their spirits at a low ebb the Streaks put up a trying battle against their old rivals, Perry, only to lose 23 to 14. Again the Streaks were host to Kirtland, this time to lose 43 to 27. Next they traveled to Wickliffe and lost to the champion Blue Devils, 60 to 38. Fairport wos met on the home floor to take another victory 48 to 35 over the Streaks in the crucial last quarter. Later we played a game with Fairport which had been postponed because of the weather. The Harbor boys won 48 to 16. Determined to win, the Streaks journeyed to Chardon for their second game with them. Although the scoring was close and the team showed more spirit and cooperation than be- fore, they were again defeated by one point. The score was 28 to 27. They played Perry for the last game which proved to be the thriller of the season. The Streaks led the scoring up until the final seconds of play, when the game went into over- time causing them to lose again 30 to 29. twonty-thrcc

 eiv Boosters Alice Hietonen, Barbaro Rooks, Phyllis Spear, Betty Hoffackcr. This year two new morale builders joined us. They were Alice Heitanen and Betty Hoffacker. We four were kept busy finding transportation and keeping the student body back of our team. Our assemblies were numerous and quite effective. Our team was not victorious but was always in there pitching, and we're proud of them. We managed to get our new uniforms finished for our last game and the receiving of letters. We can also thank Mrs. Prouty, our adviser, and Joyce Schmidt, our substitute, for a very successful year. twenty-four
