One of the biggest basketball games of the year was the one against Milwaukee Lu- theran. This year it was on January 5. The Spartans played a good game, but the Red Knights were victorious by a score of 43-41 This month we also lost a very close friend when joe Kukla, our maintenance man, left ML to take a better position at the YMCA. He was a wonderful guy and we all wish him God's blessings in whatever he does. At the end of the semester we said good-bye to Nirs. Schneider as well. Miss Wetzel took her place as business and En- glish instructor. On january 29 and 30, Open House was held here. One of the highlighted exhibits of the Art Department was the giant hippo constructed by Tom Boehm, Lowell Holtz, and Joe Simrell. The Varsity Girls' Basketball team, coached by Miss Moore, plays in the Mu- nicipal League at South Division and are currently in first place. They also play on Fridays against other schools. First semester finals were taken january 22-25. The students studied hard and worked diligently on their exams. The semester ended january 26.
