HOLLYS WESTFALI, Commercial Cluhg Class Basketball 2 years. I-1- w wif, Senior History Reviewing the four years that we have spent in P. H. S., we are impressed with their rapid flight. It seems but yesterday that we, an awed, meek group of Fresh- men organized ourselves into something resembling system and proceeded to wend our way through high school. One singular feature in our history is that for the past three years we have been guided by one president, namely Elsie VVhite, to whom much credit is due for patience and all-around ability as a leader. VVe received our welcome to the portals of the high school at the hands of the class of '23 , who entertained us royally, in spite of the inclement weather. At the close of the Freshman year all of us were completly adjusted and im- mune to the jibes of our Seniors. . The Sophomore year went smoothly enough, with a sleigh ride and a class par- ty constituting our main relief from entire inactivity. Next in line came the year when usually everyone begins to feel a degree of importance and absolute necessity-the Junior year. A class party was given at the expense of the class fthey always arej and a majority report pronounced it suc- cessful. The main feature of the Junior year was the presentation of Come Out of the Kitchen -the proceeds of which were employed to bolster up the expense of the Junior-Senior Banquet, held May 8, 1925. A course of the Redpath Lyceum was secured for the next season, which brings us to the highlight in our high school career-the Senior year. Our last year in P. H. S. was officially opened by the Senior reception of the Freshmen, which reminded us that just four years previous we had been similarly received. The Senior class has been diligently striving to accumulate funds for the class trip to Niagara Falls in May. The Redpath course was instrumental in furnishing a neat profit to assist in furthering our plans for the trip. The Senior play given this year was Kempy , directed by the Misses VVells, Johnston, VViggins, and Mr. Parks, the four of whom have been our patrons for the last two years, except Miss Wells who was with us in the Sophomore year and has been our advisor since that time. Two of the Seniors have achieved unusual and honorable distinctions this spring of which we are very proud. Miss Julia Wilcox won the District Oratory Contest held in Highland Park, April 23, and Miss Blanche Freeman won first place in the District Shorthand Contest held in VVayne, April 24. YVe wish to extend our sincerest appreciation to Misses Wells, Johnston, Wig- gins and to Mr. Parks who have shown so much forbearance and interest in our wel- fare and who have worked dili entlv that we may o to Nia ara. g . . g g 15 I FIQSII 1 l lItS'l' RUVV: JI.

The duty of this Board is to discuss questions pertaining to the class .which are later voted on by the class members. Among the questions discussed was the selling of magazines to raise money for the Senior class commencement invitations trip to Niagara Falls and parties which were the Freshman Reception and the Sen- ior class party. '. This Board has been very successful throughout the year and has saved many disputes in the Senior class. ' -Ida Mae Bennett. Ili P' P Il 'Sl IB li 1 1 i Senior Play Kempyn, a very interesting three-act comedy by .l. C. and Elliott Nugent, was presented by the Senior class Thursday, May 13. The play, under the direction of the Misses VVells, VViggins, and Jolinston, was a great success. The story is of a typical flapper who marries a young plumber merely because he uunderstandsn her, having read her books and having sworn to marry the author- ess. But after the marriage takes place, both find that the understanding is not as clear as it might have been. The play was a success not only because of the splendid manner of its presentation, but also because of the snappy wit and humor of the comedy itself.

Our class of- ficers were: lVilbur Murphy, President, Beulah Fisher, Vice-President, and Alice Hathaway, Secretary and Treasurer, Our first social function was tl1e reception given us by the Seniors, after which we were fairly launched on our high school ca- reer. During this year our class was saddened by the death of Alton For- shee, who has been greatly missed. Our Sophomore year began with the election of the following officers: Kather- ine VVilcox, Presidentg Yvinifred Draper, Vice-Presidentg Robert Hubert, Secre- taryg and Gaylord Sayles, Treasurer. Quite a number of our boys and girls par- ticipated in the numerous school athletics. VVendell Doudt was on the football team that won the championship that year. Both the boys' and girls' basketball teams were well represented by Sophomores. Many of the girls were prominent in the activities of the Girl Scout group, and many of our boys were Hi-Y members. This, our Junior year, opened with a slight loss of membership. Our enroll- ment numbers sixty, and we hope to keep them alll until we graduate. Our class officers for this year are: Katherine VVilcox, Presidentg Barbara Horton, Secretaryg and Beulah Fisher, Treasurer. The class patronesses are Miss Knowles and Miss Mercer, the patron, Mr. Ross. Through the assistance of the entire Junior class we successfully put on a banquet in honor of the football boys. The class present- ed the play Seventeen to the public and greatly appreciated the co-operation of everyone who helped make it the success it was. VVe are looking forward to our last year in school and hope it will be a record breaking one. -Beulah Fisher. 21 l? 1131 TEL Q 1 E7 FlRS'l' ROVV: N. Lor-lfwonfl, B. Uarney, R. Ilulmrt, G. Sayles, W.

It was a great success and was exceptionally well attended. The play deals with the desperate love affair of VVilliam Sylvanus Baxter, who is seventeen years old, with Lola Pratt, a vapid little flirt, for whom he appropri- ates his father's dress suit, and gets into all sorts of difficulties.

As colors we chose green and white and the flower we picked out was the white rose. From our Latin books we took the motto, Energy wins the way . Bliss Miller, Miss Forsythe and Miss Beal were our patronesses. The class had a few Vi'eenie roasts but we did not do very much. This year, as Sophoinores, Frazer Carmichael is presidentg Franklin Atkinson, vice-presidentg Dorothy Hillman, secretaryg and Corinne Howell, treasurer. Our colors and flowers are the same as last year. The motto, however is changed, being Better to be, than to seemf, This winter we had a dandy sleigh ride party.

Debate This is Plymouth's eighth year in the Michigan High School Debating League. This year tl1e question debated was: Resolved, that the proposed Child Labor Amendment to the National Constitution should be adopted. by the United States. Plymouth secured the negative side for her first two debates and the affirmative for her last two. At the first debate, which was held with Ypsilanti, November 19, 1925, the Plymouth team, consisting of Josephine Schmidt, Blanche Freeman, and Julia VVilcox, went down to defeat. However. this did not dampen the team's spirits. In fact, it stimulated them to more action. They worked hard and the night of the Plymouth-Northville debate, which was held l1e1'e on December 11, 1925, they defeated Northville by a 3-0 decision. The team, which was again composed of Josephine Schmidt, Blanche Freeman, and Julia VVilcox, now felt as though they were accomplishing something. On the Htl: of January, 1926, we journeyed to Howell, where Josephine Schmidt, Frank- lin Atkinson, and Julia VVilcox defeated the Howell trio by a unanimous decision. The last debate of the series was held at Plymouth, February ll, 1926, with Birmingham. The judges voted for Plymouth 2-1. Plymouth was especially anxious to enter the state elimination contest, not only for the honor of the team and the school, but because the Detroit Free Pree awarded wall plaque trophies to all schools eligible to enter. Plymouth was one point short of getting in and she was not one of the lucky eleven schools who entered on eleven points. Letters will be award- ed to Julia VVilcox, Dorothy Hillman, Josephine Schmidt, Blanche Freeman, Julia Learned, Franklin Atkinson, and Malcolm Cutler. Medals will be received hy Blanche Freeman, Julia VVilcox, Josephine Schmidt, and Franklin Atkinson. The Plymouth Debating squad give credit to Mrs. Ruth li. Huston VVhipple for her splen- did coaching which was responsible for the success of our team. Practice debates, whereby the necessary training and experience were derived, were held throughout the season. They were with River Rouge, twice, Northwestern, twiceg Ann Arbor, and Birmingham. 30 ' - r emiss.. - 1 -, - -S i FIRST ROVV: F. Atkinson, D. Hillman, A. Strong, I. Bennett, M. Donnelly.

Cratory and Declamation For the past six years Plymouth High School has been a member of the Michigan High School Oratorical Association. This organization has been an active promoter of public speaking activities, since it was organized by Mr. E. E. Gallup of Lansing twenty-seven years ago. Our preliminary declamation contest was held Monday, March 22. This eliminated six contestants and left six speakers, Mac Donnelly, Franklin Atkinson, Allan Strong, Dorothy Hillman, Viola Birch, and Laurence Livingston to compete in the local contest Thursday even- ing, March 25. The winners were Franklin Atkinson with first place, Mac Donnelly with sec- ond, and Dorothy Hillman with third. The same evening our local contest in oratory took place. The speakers were Julia VVil- cox with The Spirit of Peace , Julia Learned with The Gallows in l92fi , Ida Mae Bennett with Phe Dreamer , Josephine Schmidt with The Peace-Maker of Man-Kind, Franklin Atkinson with Co-operation or Isolation, and Mac Donnelly with Prohibition and the People . The winners were Julia Wilcox for first place, Josephine Schmidt for second, and Franklin Atkinson for third. The sub-district contest was held here Thursday evening, April 8, with WVayne, Belle- ville, Northville, Dearborn, and Fordson as Plymouth's competitors. VVe were fortunate to win first place both in oratory and declamation. At the contest each student was presented with a handsome dictionary, the gift of The Detroit News. The district contest for VVayne County was held at Highland Park High School Friday evening, April 23. The schools competing were Central High School, Southeastern, St. Agnes, St. Benedict, VVestern, Cass Technical, Holy Redeemer, River Rouge, St. Joseph's Commer- cial College, Highland Park, and Plymouth. Against this strong competition Plymouth was successful in winning first place in oratory, and third in declamation. Franklin Atkinson gave Liberty and Union by Daniel Webster with splendid feeling. while Julia VVilcox won first in oratory with The Spirit of Peacef, This gave Plymouth the honor of participating in the State Oratorical contest in Ann Arbor May 21. This is the first time that Plymouth has ever achieved these honors in oratory and declamation which shows promise for future success. 3l FKSIT HIT Boys' Glee Club Girls' Glee Club FK'SIIB1E1'.

The other acting Vice-Presidents are: Ilah Eckles, Raymond Levandowski, and Hol- lys lfvestfall. A new constitution was drawn up and adopted. It was decided that this club should be governed according to Robert's Parliamentary Rules of Order. Last September at our first meeting the following were elected as officers' VVe earnestly believe that this club has proved itself beneficial in helping to pro- mote interest in the business world and to encourage the students to raise and main- tain a higher standard of efficiency.

Early in Uctoher, we held an assembly for the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade girls when two delegates who went to the five-state, mid-western conference at Camp Gray, Sang- atuck and also those who went to Cavell, gave accounts of their interesting camp life. Un Gctoher tenth and eleventh, seven of our cahinet uiemhers. accompanied hy Miss 'Wells and Miss Allen went to the semester setting-up conference at Rose Center Camp. None of those girls will ever forget that cold sleepless night: in the carriage-house! However, they eame hack enthusiastic and hrimful of new ideas for the Plymouth G. R's. Service was foremost in our program at Christmas time when we sent presents to the Northville Sanitarium. These gifts, each in gay wrappings. hrought happiness to seven girls of our own age, Again, in January, to carry on the custom estahlished last year, we co-oper- ated with the Hi-Y clnh in furnishing hlotters and in putting on the 4 C's campaign. During the week preceding mid-year exams, cluh memhers and outside speakers gave talks empha- sizing clean speech, clean athletics, clean scholarship and clean living. 'l'hc mid-winter Girl Reserve conference was held at Jackson, January eighth, ninth and tenth. Our delegates, Ruth Allison and Katherine VVilcos, reported a corking good time. At another conference held in Detroit. we were thrilled to hear that our program with that of the Southeastern Girl Reserve Cluh had heen judged the hest two of twelve sent from De- troit to the National Headquarters at New York. The nursery rhymes came to life on January eighteenth when the whole family of Mother- Goosc characters from Old King C'ole to Little Bliss Moffett assemhlcd at Mrs Crumluiz-'s for one of the jolliest evenings imaginalvle. The ,Xlumni G It's were invited, and Mary Parrott as By liahy Bunting carried off the prize for the cleverest costume. Une of our proudest possessions is the Detroit Scholarship shield which we have won for the semester. lt was presented to us March sixth at the annual City Banquet which nine of our girls attended, Katherine YVilcox giving one of the toasts on the program. Good Sports All we called them-those girls who, with whisk-hrooin and waste-paper laasket, gallantly attacked the paper-filled desks in Mr. ltoss'. Miss Wiggins' and Misa Wells' nsseinlmlies. Our Mother and Daughter Banrplct occurred May eleventh, at which Dean .Tones of the Ypsilanti Normal Uollege spoke. Other plans include sending a delegate to the five-state conference to he held at. Camp Gray, Saugatuck. again this summer. 36 F K El IB E1 1 Girl Scouts The girl scouts have been very well organized -this year under the captaincy of Miss Gret- chen Smith and Miss Ursula Cary. Other officers are Elizabeth Burrows, Lieutenant, Ruth Hamilton, Secretaryg Clarice Hamilton, Treasurer. Patrols are as follows: Velma Petz-Leader Beulah Coe-Leader Rhea PeckfLeader Esther Yickery Elizabeth Hayball I'llen Smith Irene Anderson Elizabeth Burrows Helen Beyer Ruth Hamilton Lucille Ebert ltlizabeth Strong Frances Learned Marguerite VVood Clarice Hamilton Doris Jewell Dora Gallimore Doris Deitrich Dorothy Bentley Jean Mitchell Margaret Dennie Catherine Nichol Mary Haskell Jean Strong M ary Mc K innon During the community fund drive the Girl Scouts helped by soliciting among town people for contributions. Throughout the year at intervals the girl scouts have sold candy in the lunch room which added to the amount in the treasury. Miss Cary has told us many interesting things in nature whichi we must know in order to pass the second class test. February sixteenth the Girl Scouts were invited to attend a concert at Penniman Allen Hall given by the VVOmen's Club. The concert was enjoyed by all who were present. The Girl Scouts have taken quite a few blazed trail hikes. They served at the Aggie Club banquet which took place on Friday, April 16, They and the Girl Reserves expect to have Dean Jones to speak at the Mother and Daugh- ter Banquet, May 11. Esther Vickery and Catherine Nichol are the only second class scouts. -Elizabeth Burrows. 37 E I: Sl I V Boy Scouts Wihen Troop No. 1 of Boy Scouts was organized there were fourteen registered scouts. There are now thirty-two in the troop, and we are organizing a new one. The papers are now in headquarters, and we expect to l1ave these other scouts with us in a short time. W'e have changed Scoutmasters. Mr. Nagle, our former scoutmaster, has left towng and so Mr. Snavely was elected to the position. Other officers are: Senior Patrol Leader, Stuart Ramhog Junior Patrol Leader, Frazer Carmichaelg Scribe, VVilliam Curtisg and four patrol leaders, Lawrence Rattenbury, Howard Dicks, Southern Iiefevcr, and Clare Lyke. The majority of troop No. 1 are first class scouts, while three are Eagle Scouts, Robert Tefft, Stuart Rambo and Wlilliani Rambo. Our Court of Honor is composed of Mr. Strong, Chairman, Mr. Schrader, Mr. Hillmerg Mr. Smith, Mr. Gill. It was the great pleasure of several of the scouts of the troop to go to Detroit and hear the Chief Scout of the world, Sir. Rohcrt Baden-Powell, talk. Besides this, they acted as ushers at University of Michigan football games. 38 14 ' ' ' S Gz' PEQIBE - - l ily Hi-Y Club Year the end of the school X x- ll' of IWPL H' Y A 1 1 . .. o111' 1- was organized with Mr. Hol- comb as Adult Leader.

YVil- bur Murphy held his office as treasurer from the past year as that office is for two semesters. Various committees were then appointed. This year we put on an exhibit at the Xorthville Fair and got second place. This was our chief money making activity. The second week in January, the Club had a sleigh-ride party. lVe rode until all were pretty well chilled, then went to Dorothy Griffith's, where we had refresh- ments. Nine new members were taken in which made our number thirty. At the beginning of the second semester, Letha Rowland was elected President: Zetta Travis, Vice-Presidentg Gaylord Sayles, Secretary: and Theron Palmer and Clair Travis, B!-:ecutive Board members. The Board then met a11d out of their num- ber, Theron Palmer was chosen treasurer. The animal Aggie Banquet was held Friday evening, April 16. A large crowd attended. The Alumni speaker was Eva Griffith, and the outside speaker was Professor Metcalf of the Michigan State Normal College. Other speakers as well as music helped to make a delightful evening for all. -Letlza Hon-land. 40 FIRST ROVV: 0. Partridge, D. Illeinzinger, C. Wilkin, Mr. llolcofnb, SECOND ROVV: JI. Nelxun, W.

Judging Contests at the Northville Fair Each year at the Northville VVayne County Fair there are contests held in which several of the surrounding schools take part. At this Fair in Octoher 1925, the schools which partici- pated in the contests were: Plymouth, Howell, Holly, Ypsilanti. and Monroe. Fruit, stock, and crops were judged. Plymouth won first place in the stock judging, and the cup, given as a trophy hy the Plymouth United Savings Bank, has hecome the permanent property of Plymouth High School. since this is the third successive year it has heen won hy this school. The names of the individual winners have been inscribed on this cup, and the team which won it was com- posed of Russell Miller, Merlyn Lyke, and Harry Miller. Holstein cows. Shorthorn Iheifers, Shropshire sheep, and Duroc-Jersey hogs were judged. Ypsilanti High won second place. The fruit judging team of Plymouth composed of Harry Miller, Millard Nelson, and Vi'illiam Curtis also won first place. They judged apples. Howell won second place, and Ypsilanti won third. ln the crops contest Ypsilanti Won first place, Holly second, Plymouth third, and Howell fourth. The members of the Plymouth team were Owen Partridge, Dale Meinzinger. and Columbus YVilkin. Plymouth during the four years of such contests has taken first place six times in twelve contests-three times in stock, once in crops, and twice in fruit. In the other contests Plymouth has taken four second places and two thirds. This means that much credit is due the .Xgricultural Department and its leader, Mr. B. J. Holcomb, as it is through his efforts that the splendid record has heen achieved. 41 P K H T13 E HIT Junior-Senior Banquet -- '26 Early in April the Juniors began work on the Junior-Senior Banquet, deciding this year to carry out the Spanish idea in their decorations.

Senior-Freshmen Reception Un October 7th, 1925, the Seniors of '26 gave to the Freshman class the annual Senior- Freshmen Reception, given for the purpose of introducing teachers and pupils to each other and also to help the poor, brave Freshies understand how important Seniors are, and, as such, how they should be treated. Of course, the Senior President welcomed the Freshmen class with a short speech to which the Freshmen President responded. After the entertainment, lunch consisting of cocoa, sand- wiches and wafers, was served, and the event which all Freshies look forward to was a thing of the past. -Jlnrion Beye r. School Carnival On a November Friday night the annual School Carnival was held. Although the weather was had the event was well attended. Among the many attractions were the K. K. O. or the Kitchen Kabinet Orchestra, composed of students who played on instruments made from kitchen utensils. A Minstrel show was given by the members of the Boys' Glee Clubg also an old fashioned play by the Girls' Glee Club. The Manual Training class had charge of the shooting gallery. Cut flowers and various novelties beside cake, cookies, and candies etc., were sold under the supervision of Mr. Ross. The halls of the school were filled with gay, laughing people who were all ready to have a little fun. This carnival was a success, as is proved by the fact that everyone had a good time and it was well attended. -Elsie lVlzile. Mother and Daughter Banquet Community House at 6:30 Tuesday May 11.

Editorial ln placing the llth edition of the Plythean before the students for their approval, we beg to be forgiven for any errors that we have committed and we hope that the book will com- pare favorably with those which have gone before. For future years we would suggest that a different plan be followed., one whieh would lessen the expense which is much too large to be borne by the upper elassmen of a. school of this size. The total Cost of publishing this year's annual is approximately SB70000. By sale of copies and advertising we realized about 5F400.00. This leaves a sum of 56300.00 to be con- tributed by classes and organizations. The plan which we advocate and whieh has found favor in other schools is, that each year a pamphlet be printed with the pictures and history of the Senior class and every four years a. large book be printed which. by increasing the cost could be made better. lhus, each class would have a plaee in the large book and the activities of each year would he re- corded. liv speaking in the manner above, we do not infer that the staff has not had the most loyal support of the school and the merchants, who have been so liberal with their advertising. For this we are very grateful and we extend our thanks to those who have made this annual possible by their support. lfflllflll'-ill-CllIfPf .... .A...--- K - lvilbilii' ,-lrlzw'fisi1Lf1 ..,,,l......... -.--.-A-- Vi '- PMI Aflzlrflicx for Boys' .,,.. .,..-- ' ll.

The football teams have won two league championships and a second place in the last three years. The girls' basketball teams have won champ- ionship of the league practically every year before the discontinuing of the sport. The baseball teams have continually finished near the top in the league and with the exception of one year our track team has been continually the champion- ship team in the league. The aim of athletics in our school is not alone to produce championship teams but to provide Physical Education for all as far as it is possible. It is rather remark- able with physical development as the goal that the number of championships would look to a person not familiar with the situation as if our great aim had been to win, 4-fs , v 'i . 1.

But when one recalls that Plymouth won from Northville hy a I6 to 2 score, many of the season's losses are forgiven. And besides this, playing at VVayne for second place, the team was forced to play ankle deep in mud, and though they lost it was with the Plymouth spirit.

Varsity Basketball Plymouth has good reason to have :1 little pride in this year's baaketlrall team. lt haw made the best record sinee bawketball was taken up here eight years ago. The team finished the season in third place in the Suburban League ,which is higher than ever before. VVe won at leawt once from every team in the League except Dearborn. Although Plymouth is rated aw a Class D school, thi-s year we decided to enter the Claw B tournaments. First we went to Ann Arbor for the regional tournament where we played the Ypwilanti Central team that had beaten Dearborn, League champions, the night before. Plymouth led all through the game until the laet part of the fourth quarter when our defense weakened. The final score was I7-12 which left us runners-up. Next we went to Ypsilanti for the diwtrict tournament where we lowt a tight game to Monroe 22-20. Plymouth I8 ,.,... Northville 19 Plymouth 20 .... ......,..

It was not a team, as in former years, recruited from ineligible flrst team men, hut was wholly of fellows who have never played on a first haskethall team. This year since girls' athleties were abandoned in the League, it was left to the Reserves to fill in as a preliminary to the Varsity games. They therefore played the same towns as did the Varsity. The squad was composed of: Kurze fCaptainjg ltamlmog Holmes: liittenhouseg Paekardg Millimang Orr: Jolmson, and H. Huhert.

Girls' Basketball As girls basketball has been eliminated from the Suburban League, our team, resplendent in new suits, played only four games-winning three out of the four. Our first game was played at Northville and although we lost by a score of 17 to 27 we did not mind defeat considering that it was our first game while our op- ponents had played several successful games and had the advantage of their own floor. The next game was at Farmington and we came home victorious with a score of 10 to 16. The third game was played on our home floor with Northville. It was a per- fect game of basketball, very exciting as the teams were well matched and when the final whistle blew the score was 20 to 22 in Plymouth's favor. Our last game was also played at Plymouth with Farmington-after a fairly good game we defeated our opponents with a score of 15 to 26. The following girls were on the team: Captain E. Vllhite, YV. Draper, D. Hillman, M. Miller, I. Bennett, G. Bird, L Schryer, K. VVilcox, V. Petz and H. Hondorp. 52 ' ' ' s i f Q. 'M' Boys' Interclass Basketball The Junior boys at the beginning of the class games were picked to win first place as their team consisted of nearly the whole first team and was much stronger than any of the others. The drawings for the first round were: Seniors-Juniors-Juniors 32 Seniors ti. Second round: Freshmen-Juniors-Juniors 28 Freshmen 7. Third round: Seniors-Freshmen-Seniors 19, Freshmen 16. The Sophomores did not enter a team. The Junior Class Championship team was as follows: Doudt R. F. Hickey L. F. Hubert C. Lockwood L. G. Carney R. G. -IVen11ell Doudl. GIRLS' INTERCLA SS BASKETBALL As the girls' class teams were fairly well matched they had a hard time deter- mining the champions. The first series ended in a triple tie. In the first game the Freshmen defeated the Sophomores. The Juniors and Seniors were opponents in the next game and after a very excit- ing game the Juniors came out victorious. The Seniors then defeated the Sophomores. In the fourth game the Freslnnen again were victorious in a game with the Jun- lors. In the Junior-Sophomore game the Juniors defeated the Sophomores. The Seniors won the next game from the Freshmen. In the next series the elimination method was used and after some exciting games the Seniors won the championship. -fllarie Miller.

Baseball -- 1926 Only four games have been played, but we have the best chance in the League at the championship, standing in first place at the present time. It seems very like- ly with two veterans, Doudt and Hickey, and much good material, taken from the season's results so far, Plymouth will be successful. The first game was played at VVayne and was wo11 by Plymouth with a score of 1:-3. The Northville game was next, and they had always been represented by a strong team. Once more the Blue and YVhite came out on top with a score of 9-5. Encouraged by these two victories Plymouth nearly lost the third game which was played with Roosevelt High of Ypsilanti. The infield booted the ball around in general the first four innings, but they settled down in the last part of the game and gave Doudt, who was pitching, a good game and more support and they man- aged to pull out of the fire with a 12-7 score. Dearborn came next. Plyomuth and Dearborn were tied for first place. Dearborn tried hard in their last inning to make a run, but did not succeed, leaving the score Il--3 in favor of Plymouth. The squad is composed of Hickey fCaptainH, Doudt, Sayles, Gr. Simmons, L. Simmons, G. Brady, N. Lockwood, H. Mills, S. Rambo, C. Moore, B. Carney, and E. Stacey. -Ted Hickey. .51- Ill I 1 1 FIRST ROXV: E. IVMIP, Jlr. f'oaf1'u, Jlr. Nnzifll, .lliss Allen. SECOND RUVV: IV. lll'1l,pPr', lf. lfflfliI1NOH, .llfss Smifli. S. Rambo.
