The length of last year’s season prevented a complete account of it to be put in the annual. For that reason a brief resume of the 1935 season follows: The track squad won three meets, placed second in the triangular meet with Saybrook and Gibson, and fourth in the Wauseca Track Meet. In the district meet at Monticello, Jones placed fourth in the broad jump event. This year many of last season’s lettermen are back. Those who received letters last season and who have places on the squad this year are Whitman, L. Carlson, Cornelison, Swanson, Lundy, Barr, Henry, L. Mag-nuson and Lee. The season thus far has been quite successful and if the good work continues for the rest of the season, we can anticipate the breaking of last year’s records. THE SQUAI) Distance men—L. Carlson, Sederlund. F. Marshall, Ryan, Griswold, Cornelison, Whitman, Lee. Dash men—Whitman, Lee, L. Carlson. Weight men—Barr, Lee, Henry, Mag-nuson. High jump—J. Swanson, Lundy.

From the Gilman game to the end of the 1935 season, Paxton suffered nary a defeat. The teams opposing them were Roberts, Urbana, Onarga, Piper City, and Thawville. The last named was the deciding factor in regard to the championship of the Iroquois League, the Paxton nine “bringing home the bacon!” Altogether, the squad, coached by J. J. Swinney, played ten games and suffered only one defeat, which was at the hands of Armstrong, with a score of 2-1. This year’s squad is made up almost entirely of veteran lettermen of last year: Hedrick, right-field; Reep, back-stop; Lundy, first base; W. Sullivan, left-field; and Barr, center-field, all of whom are seniors; Van Antwerp, pitcher; Chartier, right-field; Flora, third base; and Reehl, second base, the junior members of the varsity; Hill and Erickson, shortstops, both of whom are sophomores; and M. Sullivan and J. Anderson, center-field, who are freshmen. As yet the team has suffered no defeat. All four encounters have been victories by exceptionally large margins.

C. H. S. athletic history.

ORGANIZATIONS . . . P. C. H. S. offers many opportunities for the student who wishes to take part in extra-curricular activities such as glee club, band, or literary work. It is not necessary to have been in one of these activities to be graduated, but participating in them gives a student pleasure and also adds to his general fund of knowledge. Also for the juniors and seniors there is the opportunity to take part in the class plays. There are two members of each class chosen to represent the class in the Student Council, and boys interested in agriculture have a chance to join the Future Farmers of America. ♦ ♦ ♦
