BASKF.T BALL TOURNAI ffiNT During trie Basketball Season a tournament was sponsored by Mr, Harvey, Teams were entered from the 7th grade, both the A and B sections, also from the 8th, Freshmen, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior grades. After many hectic battles with a new man starring in each game the Seniors were victorious. The Seniors drew a bye in the first round. The first game that they played was with the Juniors who had defeated the Sophomores, This game was hard fought through out, but the Seniors were not seriously threatened at any time, although the score was close during the entire game. The finals in which the Seniors met the team of the 8th grade was also won by the Seniors. The 8th grade team had defeated the 7th grade and had also defeated the highly touted Freshmen team which had been expected to give the Senior team a fight for the title. But the 8th grade team, fighting every minute and playing on the ball every minute away above their heads, upset the Freshmen and so entered the finals. But here they met a crushing defeat at the hands of the smooth working Senior combination. In this game the 8th grade started off fast, as in previous games, and scored six points before the Seniors had scored. But at the point tiie Seniors stopped their opponents and held them to five points the rest of the gam.e , while they ran up 28 points. The men that made up the Senior team were Archie Moore, George Ortlip, Jay Worrall, Lester Davidson, Reese Hunter, and James Hartin, This tournament is a source of a great many things, and it is hoped for the sake of tne school that these tour naments will be continued in the future ,

FRESPMAN CLASS It is hoped that this class will supply the athletic ability for Marpl e-Newtown during the next three years. There are many boys and girls in this class who have great futures before them if they will only do their best for dear old M. N. and we sincerely hope that they will. Remember, Give to the World the best you have and the best will come back to you. Apply this for the glory of Marple Newtown. But do not devote all of your time to athletics. Remember lessons are more important than athletics. SOPHOMORE CLASS We hope that our new juniors will do their share in making all scholastic undertakings a success; help Mr. Harvey in making basketball, football and baseball teams better. Cooperate with your teachers. Do this and you v ill leave high school with a record to be proud of. JUNIOR CLASS This class is ruled by girls or so it seems because of the large number of the weaker sex (?) in their class. Come on, boys, save the reputation of the men and graduate with high honors. We hope that you will study hard so that your graduating class will be M-N ' s largest. SEVENTH -EIGHTH GRADES Remember, grades , that upon you depends the future of Marple Newtown in many branches. Work hard and give all that you can for this school.
