Girls’ Basket-ball Girls can play basket-ball, although not quite as spectacularly as the boys, and the girls of N. T. H. S. have the proper spirit. They seldom asked the boys for the “gym” to interfere with team practice, and therefore have not played as much as they would like to. Bertha Strater was chosen captain of the first team and played as star forward all season. When it comes to making baskets Bertha is right there. Orlieu Wilson was the other forward and could be depended upon for consistent, steady playing. Anna Tammen as center always knows just where to bat the ball to make our score two more and, should the forward fail to get her signal, Anna makes the basket herself. Lillie Mae Sullivan and Cleo Ernst, although small, are mighty guards as the forwards of all opposing teams will testify. The second team naturally has to take all the rough practice from the first team and get little credit for it. However, here is a good opportunity to thank them for coming out and next year they will make the first team. Janet Magee, Irene Becker, Mildred Safford, Jennie Ronchetti, Clella Easton, Gladys Larrick, Margaret Pick, Ruth Stevenson and Jn-dianola Power have all been out to practice regularly.

1920 'I' R AN SC E N D E N T A LIST 1920 Social When school opened the upper classes saw that they were confronting a larger class of Freshmen than had ever before entered Nokomis High. 1 he duties of the upper classmen were to welcome these new arrivals and make them acquainted with their surroundings. Although they were handicapped to some extent, some of the more generous pupils opened up their homes and lawns for class parties and “wiener roasts. W lien the crowd was too large to be accommodated in a private home a spacious hall was procured as a place of gathering and festivity. Even though handicapped in many ways, the social life of our high school has been very active. I he following reports will help to recall to the minds of the students in future years, enjoyments which they partook of in the past year; also to show others that the social activities of N. T. H. S. have not heretofore been equaled. The Gregg Club A band of ambitious shorthand students of the X. T. 11. S. decided they needed a further incentive to do good work in shorthand so they organized what is now known as the Gregg •Club. A constitution was drawn up, accepted, and officers were elected as follows: Anna Tammen, Pres.; Joe Pendleton, Sec.-Treas. The purpose of the club is to develop speed and accuracy in reading and writing shorthand. Bi-monthly meetings are held for this purpose, dictation is taken, shorthand is read from the plates in the “Gregg Writer,” a shorthand periodical, and discussions of points which interest all members are indulged in. But business meetings are not the only meetings held. Indeed! quite a few students in the H. S. could mention some very pleasant “informal parties” held, to which all the members of the H. S. were invited. So the Gregg Club is popular with the various members of the H. S. as well as the shorthand students. TEN COMMANDMENTS OF THE GREGG CLUB 1. Don’t lie. It wastes your time and mine. I am sure to catch you in the end and that is the wrong end. 2. Watch your work, not the clock. A long day’s work makes a long day short: and a short day’s work makes my face long. 30
