OO BOYS' ATHLETICS This year the boys enjoyed two intramural sports, basketball and baseball. The games were refereed by students and played at noon. After playing off a tie the Seniors claimed the championship. The members of this team were Earl Matheson, Floyd Glass, Willard Johnston, Emil Cavelero, and Bill White. ln the spring the boys organized class softball teams. The captains of these teams were Willard Johnston, senior, Fred Ackerman, Junior, Donald Constant and Wendell Ballard, sophomore, Paul Gregory and Bob Hickey, freshman. Each year M. H. S. honors two boys by inscribing their names on figure trophies. These awards are presented this year by Mr. Hanbloom at the Athletic Banquet. The football team chose well in voting to Leon Seawell the trophy for having been the greatest inspiration to the members of that team. The basket- ball trophy was awarded to Earl Matheson, who had showed great skill on the basketball floor and un- doubtedly deserved this honor. These trophies belong to the school and will be placed in the trophy case to await next yearls choices. On March l5th, the Athletic boys were honored at an all-star banquet given by the Girls' Club directed by Miss Davis. On that night the boys enjoyed a tasty dinner and were entertained by notable speakers. Mr. Carter, the toast master, introduced as the principle speaker Mr. Lappenbush, Coach at the West- ern Washington College of Education. Coach tappenbush talked on the training and character building of a team. Other speakers were Coach Bryan Lewis of Bell- ingham, and Mr. Hanbloom who presented the inspira- tional awards and gave a short talk on -Fthe signifi- cance of these awards. Also present with the boys were the school directors. The boys thoroughly en- joyed the banquet and extend their thanks to the Girls' Club and Miss Davis. V
