1919 THE ARROW 1919 Athlrtirs The Athletic Associtaion of the Mukwonago High School held its first regular meeting of the year 1918-1919 on the first Wednesday of September. The follow- ing officers were elected: President ......... Gerald Goodman Vice-President.....................Leo Mitten Secretary ......... Forest Jackson Treasurer ........ Frank Sheridan ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEE. Harold Stoecker ...... Chairman Orville Guthrie Charles Goetz Faculty Adviser ........ Vincent Kivlin FOOTBALL If one were to judge from the indications of school spirit and early enthusi- asm evidenced in the fall one would say that the season 1918 promised to be the best ever. But friend or rather enemy “FLU” came along just in time to spoil all the fun. The prospective squad met and elected Gerald Goodman, captain and Mr. Nelson, coach and manager. The boys were ordered out for practice immediately and showed that they were made of the right stuff by their ready response. Very little was accomplished in actual playing of contest games because of the epidemic. Many of the boys on the squad were ill most of five season and finally the school was forced to close the early part of October and remained closed for a period of four weeks. This made all prophecies for the gala season fail. A last attempt was made after the reopening of school, the first of November, and games were scheduled with the following schools: Elkhorn, Oconomowoc, and East Troy. The team was composed of the following men: Right End ....... Right Tackle ...... Right Guard ...... Center ....... Left Guard ...... Left Tackle ...... Left End ....... Full Back ...... Left Half Back ...... Right Half Back .......... Quarter Back ...... Substitutes ...... BASEBALL Early in March the boys began agitation for baseball.

Marquette St. John’s Whitewater Whitewater Oconomowoc Oeonomowoc The annual series of games with the East Troy High School has been planned. The first of the series was played at East Troy April 2. The teams were pretty evenly matched and after a close game of twelve innings the score resulted in 15 to 14 in favor of East Troy. Mukwonago made most of her runs in the first half of the game, while East Troy started to gain in the second half of playing. During the eighth and ninth innings the score remained a tie, 11 to 11. In the tenth and eleventh Mukwonago showed their ability and raised the score to 14; but in the twelfth inning she gained nothing while East Troy succeeded in raising the score to 15 and won the game. Some excellent playing was done by Goetz as pitcher and Harwig as catcher. Perry did fine on first, and scarcely missed a ball Other stars were Van Valin, Mitten, and Paul Perry. The second game of the series was played at Mukwonago on April 12, with victory for the home team. The score was 6 to 5. 'Pile final game wns played at East Troy on Wednesday, May 28th. Again our boys were victorious in a hard fought game with the score 6 to 5. It was not. hard to decide which was the better, more manly team. The girls actively entered the athletic field this year for the first time. Bowl- ing was their choice. After a few nights of hard practice teams were chosen from the successful contestants as follows: Hazel Lartz, Lucile Kingston, Mar- garet Guthrie, Mildred West, Olive Maney and Alice Wylie made up one team. Anna Bullion, Lelah Rogers, Marion Sell, Hazel Muehl, Merle Boelter and Leona Anderson made up the other. Marjory Guthrie and Viola Kingston acted as substitutes. A series of five games is being played and a dinner will be given by the losing team to the winners. Page Twenty-seven
