BASKET ALL Basketball season began on November ili' 15th with Miss Maxwell as coach. One January 4th the first team was picked with Helen Raitt chosen as cap- tain. The line-up was as follows: Anona and Helen Wells, forwards, Pearl Logue and Helen Raitt, guards, Virginia Flickinger and Goldier Greer, centers, Annis Mc- Gookin, Edna Saunders and Inez Despain, subs. On January 11th we started on our first tour. We went to Holbrook, Wins- low, St. Johns and Round Valley. We won two games and lost two. The trip, how- ever, was delightful, and each one enjoy- ed it immensely. ' nom Mxxwnu. Ask Goldie Greer about driving any Coach make of car. She drives them all alike, as some of us will testify, not with broken bones, but with shattered nerves. i At each place we enjoyed not only the games, but the dance after the game. We visited the schools in St. Johns and Eager, where won- derful speeches were made by the coaches and captains of the different teams. On our way home we visited the Petrified Forest. We were very glad of this opportunity, as many of us had not seen the Petrified Forest. Miss Maxwell says she is not very fond of riding with a rope tied to her car fthat is the way we rode from the Petrified Forest to H0lbrook.J When we reached Holbrook we boarded the first train home, and were delighted to reach Flagstaff where we could get a good fresh drink of water. On January 19th we played and defeated Holbrook on our home court. We enjoyed the supper given the teams after the game. February was a very busy month for the basketball teams. Our line-up was changed somewhat, Edna, Annis and Pearl playing guard, Helen Raitt, Goldie and Virginia playing cen- terg Helen, Anona and Inez playing forward. The first game played was with Prescott on our own court. The victory went to Prescott. The next game was with Williams at Williams. Eight car- loads of people went from Flagstaff to see the game, which ended in a tie. This was one of the roughest games of the season. The girls were black and blue when they returned.

In the return game with Williams on our own court the victory went to N. A. N. S. The last and most wonderful trip was our trip to Camp Verde, Jerome and Prescott. We played Camp Verde first. We had a good game and a good dance afterward. The next day being Sunday, the Camp Verde people took us to Montezuma Castle where we all climbed the ladders and looked at the home of ancient tribes of Indians. From Camp Verde we went to Jerome. The boys went down into the mine but as the girls were not allowed to go into the mine we rode around in Jerome and the neighboring towns. Jerome has a wonderful new school building, with an ex- cellent basketball court. We all enjoyed the games and the dance following. The next morning we went to Prescott. We were defeated by the Prescott girls, but we had a good time, nevertheless. We enjoyed every bit of the trip and were only sorry that we had to come home so soon, but as we had no more games scheduled there was nothing else to do. Our closing game of the season was with Winslow on our own court. This was the only game we lost on our own court. We like to play Winslow, for they are all good, clean players. When Goldie Greer left to teach, Zillah Boice was given a place as sub on the team. The scores for the different games are as follows: Home Court Outside Courts Holbrook ...... 10 Normal ...... 73 Holbrook ...... 20 Normal Winslow .,.... 20 Normal ...... 19 Winslow ...... 30 Normal Prescott ........ 11 Normal ...... 27 Prescott ...... 20 Normal Williams ...... 9 Normal ...... 40 Williams ...,.. 19 Normal RoundValley 20 Normal Jerome .......... 19 Normal Camp Verde 19 Normal The girls who won sweaters and letters are Anona and Helen Wells, Edna Saunders, Annis McGookin, Goldie Greer, Vir- ginia Flickinger and Inez Despain. Pearl Logue and Helen Raitt receive their second chevrons. INDOOR BASEBALL Baseball was started on October 5th with Miss Lutz as physical education director. Only eleven girls signed up for baseball but at the end of two weeks we had sixteen players and an umpire. We divided the group into two teams, The Terriers, with Helen Wells as captain and The Pugs, with Helen Raitt as captain. In the games between the two teams an average number was won by each side. One of the most interesting games of the fall quarter was the game between the hiking group and the baseball girls. Nine of the best players were chosen by each group. Dorothy Jones was captain of the hikers. It was a good game and One Hundred Ten
