1927 MILTONIAN 1927 Student Council The objects of the Council were to bring about a more co-operative feeling between classes, teachers, and pupils, to introduce better discipline and in general to manage the activities, purchases and funds of the school, in other words Self-Government. The members consisted of the presidents, vice-presidents, secretaries, and treasurers of each class, the athletic managers and a faculty advisor. The officials were: president, Herman Mannhardtg vice-president, Marguerite Polandg secretary, Bernice Ricklyg treasurer, Myrtle. The organization met regularly each month, occasionally extra sessions. Discipline for the year was good as the children were ruling themselves. A few results of this business union were: better spirit, supplying all necessities for athletics, set standard grade of B to be exempted from Exams, placed requirements of C plus average, with but one D and 85? attendance to be a member of athletics team, forbade chew- ing of gum in school building, forbade and placed penalty on petting parties or coupling off, purchased a piano with aid from board, a new Encyclopedia, besides many other purchases and aids.

1927 MILTONIAN 1927 Basket Ball Our boys were mostly new, but were determined to become successful. Russell fRusJ Filiere was elected captain and was a hard and accurate player setting a good example for the rest of the squad. The others who played on the first team were: Carl Martins, Wilbur Oster, Oscar Challen, Harold Ferrell, with Gerald Ferrell and Floyd Strow as substitutes. These men will all be back to make a better team next year. The team could not have been successful without the rest of the squad which con- tained boys who will be able to hold up the standards of Milton High in future years. On this second team were: Everett Emerick, manager of the teams, Richard Durliat, Oral Moor, Raymond Nichols, Cloyce Filiere, Doyce Filiere, Clarence Rossau, Paul Ridey, and Edgar Lance.

B. team has been the most successful one that M. H. S. has even had. We started with the resolve to lose not one single game. We played eleven scheduled games, losing but one which was our first game with Grand Rapids. Two games were played with each Grand Rapids and Haskins, one with Tontogany, Weston, Bloomdale, Hoytville, Alumni Team, Bowling Green, and a game with a team from a Toledo factory. In the tournament we won over Bloomdale but lost to Liberty, who came in fresh after we had battled our first game. V Altho' our girls were jeered on account of their size, by such remarks as corn fed country girls, yet when they hit the Hoor and started their circuits you could see and look out for a pile up of baskets. Miss Coots coached the girls and it was due to her persistency and faithfulness that won success for the team along with the co-operation of each player. Maxine Challen, the highest scorer followed by Ann Uglick, Virginia Norcross, Rickly Sisters, Irma Haas, Lois Hathway, Junkins Sisters and Mabel Emrick constituted the complete squad.
