Under the management of Mr. Will athletics were again brought into the school and the season was ushered in by a track meet in which the Seniors came out first, not taking all the points but enough to make them leaders. Then Basketball was the main thing on the program and the High School team was one of the fastest in the state, meeting only a very few defeats. With all our happiness and good times this year was saddened by the death of James Flowers. James was a member of our class until ill health forced him to quit school and his death was a sad shock to all. We have had our joys and sorrows alike this year but have tried to make the best of it and believe we have accomplished as much as any class which has left this dear old school. Louella Manspeaker. 28
