Fewer boys than usual got their deer in November. Lonnie Smith got his on the first day of hunting season. His family was enjoying venison while others were still hunting. Richard Posey’s deer was photographed in color by Mr. Caywood. The picture is now in Mr. Caywood's beautiful collection. The girls in Home Ec have done some good work under Mrs. Upton’s leadership. Mrs. Eva Scully and Miss Freda Wilson, in a letter dated March 3, complimented Mrs. Upton and the girls on the work they had done up to the time of their visit to Mayer. The girls later took to basketball as ducks take to water, Sonya Hickey takes honors as high-point star. All boys who can lift a basketball spend much time on the court with astounding results. If Mayer had a real gym, our boys could offer other schools some interesting compe- tition in a few years. The cement court has done wonders for us in basketball, volleyball and skating. Bob Quain drops the ball down thru the basket; Bill Kellis, the one-man- team, guards while he mixes boxing and wrestling into his game. Bill is especially good at dribbling every way except the right way. Louis Olvera tosses the ball into the air with no apparent aim and always makes the basket. Clyde Me is the bird who argues with the umpire (or anyone else who will listen) while using football technique for basketball. Pete Soriano's forte is pulling arms out of their sockets, probably because he thinks he is dissecting portions of beef and pork at Caywood’s Market. Billy Larremore takes first place in typing. Betty Bensch has the highest average grades in school, with Marie Biggs taking second place. Several have been competing success- fully for cellar position, academically. If any of the boys want photos of their girl friends, they should remember that all portraits of individuals and groups in this annual are by the Anderson Foto Shop, 730 Walnut, Prescott, Arizona. For quick service, phone 837 J or write to Post Office Box 1892. This will interest Bill Kellis, Billy Larremore, Lonnie Smith, and any others who are on the verge of matrimony. 18
