The interest and enthusiasm shown by students and spectators all through the season put pep and fight into every one of the men up to the final event, and the season ended with one of the finest and most highly developed teams turned out of the school. The influenza hit our team about the middle of the season and broke up our combinations. However, the men came back with re- newed pep and determination and made good reputations for themselves. Next year new faces will appear on the basketball court. These men have had good training and will show up very well. The letter men leaving this year are Earlo Sanders, Rulon San- ders, Herbert Bluck and Louis Olsen.

The fact that we have no athletic field renders the playing of baseball impossible. In order that all boys of the school might get spring athletics, a new plan for awards in track and field events has been prepared. The awards com- mittee met and adopted the plan whereby most of the boys in school will be able to participate and get expert instruction. Unlike the system used in most schools of the State, whereby a man must earn points in some meet with another school in order to win his letter, we have decided that letters will be given to boys who reach a certain point of efficiency in any one of the events here coached. This new plan will do away with the system of a coach for ten or twelve of the strongest men, and will give every boy part of the coach 's time. W'e believe this is a step in harmony with the present educational movement and that it will be but a short time before all high schools will adopt some such plan. Boys will be given letters if they are able to make the following rec- ords in the events named below: 100-yard dash, 11 seconds 220-yard dash, 25 seconds. 880-yard dash, 2 minutes. One-mile, 4.5 minutes. Pole vault, 9 feet 6 inches. High jump, 5 feet 4 inches. Broad jump, 18 feet. Shotput, 38 feet. S ,,-....-.- - ..i A-THQ Aiwa 1 ' 'QLA QQ.-iv. as

'M 'Y Ltr' - X-t155:fT...-.....,... .... . . .. 1Binafnrr The presentation of Pinafore at the Granite Stake House on April 7th, marked the climax of one of the greatest student activities ever un- dertaken by M. H. S. Never before has this school attempted so much and succeeded so admirably as in the preparation and rendition of that beautiful little opera. The excellence of the performance was far above the expectation of those who watched its growth. More than forty voices were exhibited either in the solos or in choruses. Contrary to custom and true to that good old spirit of the school We love, we Were able to prepare and present 'fPinafore Without the aid of professional talent. Proudly may we boast of such talent as that of the McMillan brothers, Mr. Rus- son, Lyle Bishop, Herbert Bluck, Paul Paris, Louise Bentz, Edith John- son, Lavern Gordon and others. The audience was pleased beyond expectation and even yet, we occa- sionally hear someone humming pieces of irresistible melody found in the opera. The authorities were so well pleased with the success of the first performance that it was decided to give another performance on the 15th of April. The performance was no less perfect than the first and those who attended both were even more enthusiastic over the second than the first attempt. The characterization was the same for both performances, except the part of Buttercup, which was played by Louise Bentz, first, and LaVern Gordon, the second. No praise is too worthy nor too elaborate for the proficient and untir- ing efforts of our excellent music instructor, Mr. Robinson. Those teachers who assisted Mr. Robinson are Mr. Russon, Mr. McMillan, Mr. Rightmire, Miss Kcate and Miss Wa1'e. The work of Mr. Russon and Mr. Rightmire in the chorus was invaluable, while Mr. McMillan, as an amateur soloist, performed in a professional manner. The most excel- lent manner in which the dancing was performed were the results of training under the supervision of Miss Keate. Miss Wa1'e was invaluable as piano accompanist. We are safe in saying that Pinafore was the most decided suc- cess in our school history. S
