The last two years we have sponsored four assembly programs. We also entertained the Freshmen with a party on October 18, 1930. Our class colors are green and white and our flower is the Lily of the Valley. Our motto is: “The winner never quits and the quitter never wins.” Our class officers are: President .................... Berniece Lubbs Vice President ...................

In September the Sophomores gave a party for the Freshmen. We amused ourselves by playing games, and at the close of the evening we were served a delicious lunch. Some of our boys went out for football and basketball and made the team. Those who took part in the operetta, “Carrie Comes to College”, were: Lowell Renner, Clayton Larsen, Margaret Boyce, Marjorie Woods, Eleanore Carlson, Ona Edlefson, Elva Swanson, Lynne Van Ormer and Alyce Raabe.

Thirty-five boys reported for roll call. Lester (“Toad”) Hansen was chosen captain. During the season, Manlius played ten games, won eight, lost one, and tied one. In the “Little Eight”, Manlius won five, lost one, and tied one, entitling them to a tie for second place in the “Little Eight”. Injuries hampered the squad all season. By graduation the school loses Bollman, Frank, Hartz, Olson, Plumley, Raabe, Webb, Wright, and Hewitt. There are six letter-men returning for the 1931 season. The season’s record shows that Manlius scored 201 points against their opponents’ 7.

They were graded according to their ability as members of the first to the eighth team. All teams played in competition during the season. The varsity squad consisted of twenty boys. They won ten games and lost seven. In the conference, they tied with Wyanet for third place. We lose this year by graduation, Captain Hewitt, Hartz, Olson, Frank, Plumley, and Wright. Those returning are: Swanson, Hansen, Black, Ramos, Schuneman, Draper, and Johnson, all letter-men. During the season Manlius scored 331 points against their opponents’ 327. Page Nineteen 1 1 THE ALARM f T rack Rounding out a successful athletic year, we are represented with a track team that ranks with the best that has represented the school in its history. It is captained by Bill Hartz who holds both County and League records in the mile. Frank, a distance man, takes care of the half mile. The relay team, consisting of Black, Raabe, Hewitt, and Hartz, broke the former Manlius record of 1:38 held since 1926. Plumley lowered the low hurdle record but it was not allowed because the wind blew over one hurdle. In a dual meet with Wyanet we scored 114, Wyanet 21. In a triangular meet at Walnut we won with 70 points; Walnut scored 40, Bureau 15. We won the “Little Eight” by scoring 77 points; Sheffield was second with 61; Walnut third with 34 points, and Buda fourth with 20 points. The meets left this year are the District at Dixon, the State meet at Champaign, and the County meet at Princeton.
