The chairmen, appointed by Patricia Rieper, were chosen because of their special ability in one field of activity. Each chairman directs and stimu- lates interest in her sport. The first social entertainment for W. A. A. candidates this year was a hare and hound chase. Leaving Fremont at 4 o’clock Thursday, October 13, a group of hares, led by Elaine Lucas, opened a cross country run toward the Platte river. Half an hour later they were pursued by a fleet of persistent hounds directed by Bertha Ferris. Both parties assembled at the elephant’s cave south of the Platte for a picnic lunch. Friday, December 15, 22 girls signified their intention to join W. A. A., climaxing the party held in the gymnasium. The party was held for the pur- pose of entertaining new girls and getting them better acquainted with the association. 1 earn competition of races, football, basketball, croquet and other games were forms of entertainment under the direction of Grace Rowe. Each year an inter-class basketball tournament stimulates interest in that sport. This year four teams were entered in the tournament: the Senior All- Stars, the Sophomore-Junior team, the Dorm Freshies and the Town Freshies. The All-Stars easily proved their championship by winning every game, with the Dorm Freshies as runner-ups. THE WARRIOR Vane 77

Where to fight and to win is the rule. We arc loyal: we arc royal; We arc Warriors true. Anti we never give up till we're through: We can make it; we can take it: We’re the Orange and Black, And we’re never left holding the sack. On to victory: on to glory; On to championship With the hard-hitting Warrior boys. The Warriorettes have gained a reputation of being a peppy gang of Midland boosters. This new Midland song is just one of their ways of in- spiring loyalty and school spirit in the entire student group. At every athletic contest you’ll find them on the sidelines. It has become their custom to attend one out-of-town game in a body. This year the Hastings game was chosen for that purpose. All other out-of-town games find them well represented. This year ten girls were tapped by the Warriorettes. By promising to Ik loyal Midlanders and “good Indians,” they gained the right to wear the Orange and Black, and with it, the title “Warriorette.” (jiving skits at all pep rallies, the group inspired the whole student body that helped make possible that Midland Fighting Spirit, which has brought home the fourth championship trophy.
