There is no secret to success. It's just plain earnestness, hard work, and a de- sire on the part of M. H. S. students to contribute their utmost to the team and school. It is with the Students that the future success of our team lies. We would like to mention that we are not only learning to play basketball. The real value is the character foundation we are laying for future living. We feel especially proud that our team is also a leader in fair play and sportsmanship. We are deeply appreciative and grate- ful to the many individuals and groups, too numerous to mention here, who have so generously contributed to our team's success. Alumni vs. High School The high school boys worked hard, but the ex-Milo High stars were too much in the first game of the season. Alumni 45, Milo High School 44.
