Both years Northeast won state titles. The 1922 state Championship team was captained by George Den- niston, who was also captain in 1923, although this team did not win a state title. Four years this boy played on the Viking basketball teams and three of these years he was an all-star selection. Earl Rentro, now a forward on the strong lones store team, led the 1927 team not only to a state championship but also to a national consolation title at Chicago. Rentro, who was also captain of the 1928 city championship team, was an all-star two years. Co-captains for both 1934 and 1935, Al Rozgay and Gene Brede- hoett have shown the same fine type of leadership that has been dis- played by the other captains. Both of these boys were city all-star selections two years, and state all-stars this year. 5' ii if 5,15 wg? Pg 1 , , ,Q , , 53 9 X r,.,,.,y , ,, ,xb, , ,,,, . 4 X Y V?

TRACK With a strong squad of lettermen returning for competition the Northeast Vikings face the l935 track season with two rnain objects in View: CD to capture the city title in this sport, making a clean sweep of all three championships this year, and C25 to uphold one of the finest track reputations in the Kansas City interscholastic high schools. With the exception of last year, Northeast has al- ways been near the top in this sport. The first meet of the year was the annual inter-class affair, in which the groups finished in the following order: seniors, juniors, and sophomores. ln the dual meet with Manual, April 5, Northeast easily won loy the exceptionally one- sided score of 90 to 6. The Vikings allowed Manual only one first place, that be- ing in the 440.
