Earl Monroe, veteran center, who played but one semester, dropped out of school in the middle of the season. Other lettermen were Roy Martens, Clinton Wise, Robert Murphy and Oliver Frazier. Although they won only six games out of seventeen played, they lost four by close scores. Witlr a little stronger defense we might have had a championship team. ?rospects for a winning team next year are very good. Veterans back are Joe Sheehey, Oliver Frazier, Gaylord Siedel, William Cellan, Garold McConnell and Paul Miller. We will have a new player in Raymond Duffy, a regular on the Pat- terson team this year.

Crow, Coach Romick, Walston Third Row: Simmons. Wise, Strahan, Frazier, Huss, Howell Next, they went to Earlham to play in the sectional tournament. They were the darkest, dark horse in the tourney but by winning four straight games they became sectional champions and brought home the trophy for the first time since l932. jo Monroe, star forward of the Martensdale team, was chosen as outstanding player of the tournament. A week later the team travelled all the way to Lenox for the district tournament. They played good defensive ball holding opposition to close margins but losing three games. They held the crack Cumberland team to I5 points. incidentally, Cumberland was runnerup in the state tournament losing to Centerville, state champions, by the score of 21 to 37. If we might have had a little more luck with basket shooting in the district tournament, it is possible that the team might have at- tained its goal of a state tournament. The team was built around a strong defense in Ruth Howell, senior, Marjorie Weaver, junior, and Reba Brownlie, sophomore, guards. The offensive work was carried on mainly by jo Monroe, senior, Adelaide Wise, sophomore, and Berlene Frazier, freshman, forwards. Other letter winners who saw much service were Maxiene Smith and Maxine Strahan, senior forwards, and Mary Louise West, sophomore guard. Three players, Monroe, Howell and Wise have been lost for next year. The last named has moved to St. Marys. zi-:1:1:l:lio5:i:i:1ai:lic Eighteen

We went to Indianola to play in the county tournament, but were defeated in the first game by the Carlisle. team. Carlisle went on to win the county tournament. Our final record for both the fall and spring season was an even break in twelve contests. FALL 1935-SPRING 1936 This year's team has had a very good record to date, winning five and losing two during the fall season and winning four and losing two so far this spring. Lettermen back from last year are Murphy, Martens, Wise, Lee, Siedel and Cellan. Last fall's battery of Monroe and Wheeler left us during the school year. Bill Cellan has developed into a good pitcher and is sharing the twirling with Chip Kellar. McConnell and Melroy are doing the receiving. Martens. Frazier, Murphy and Siedel form the infield, Linnane is at roving short, while Lee, Wise and Sheehey play the outfield. Reserves are Miller, Smith and Sinn. With harder hitting to matclrthe good pitching, we have a chance bo win the Warren county softball trophy. The champion of our league, composed of Norwalk, Spring Hill, Indianola and Martensdale, meets Beech for the title. Page Twenty O o'o Q ,Q
