SPORTS 11 Tennis Tournament Mr. Mills was faculty sponsor to a highly successful tennis tourna- ment, the matches of which were played on the Pine Grove Courts. The first brackets were rapidly filled and a second tournament was necessitated. Thirty people entered the first tournament and twenty- four entered the second, showing that a high interest in the ancient sport exists among the student body. One feature of the tournament was the number of girls entered in the tournament, as the playoffs gave evidence of many future Lenglens and Moodys in the tourney. At this writing, the only finished bracket, 1 1th grade, was won by Gar Henry in straight sets from Verlin Treend. The other winners will be decided and an all-school champ will be chosen. Interclass Softball Mr. Paulson and Mr. Sommer are piloting the interclass softball league this year to a successful close. The Sophomores are showing class in this sport and both 1 OB and 10A at this writing are undefeated. All games are played on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school on the Tech diamond. The managers of the teams are: 12A E. Millet 1 IB S. Parent 12B R. Donaghy 10A H. Ailio 1 1 A E. Ailio 10B R. Morris Cheerleaders This year’s squad of cheerleaders was the largest and one of the best in the school’s history. Five veterans and eight recruits saw regular service at varsity games and pep meetings, two of the recruits coming through to win letters for their first year’s work. The squad this year inaugurated locally the idea of putting on comedy stunts at half time of the varsity basketball games. They also ran the book exchange in September and January, the profit of which was used for expenses and new equipment. They also led Red-White fans’ root- ing at out of town games. The squad, at an informal presentation of letters to six of the leaders, elected Steve Allen and Bill Brahany as co-captains for the 1933-34 athletic season. The leaders were: Steve Allen. Howard Ailio, Virgil Billings, John Busby, Clarence Brandenburg, Norman Barnes. Jack Davis. Jack Lloyd, Alex MacCreadie, Bill Stapleford, Bob Van Slambrouck, Jack Frost, and Bill Brahany.

1 0 SPORTS speedy newcomers gave further strength to the squad, while many of last year’s team who didn’t get quite the number of specified points to win a monogram were out there plugging and expect to receive a coveted P. H. this year. The squad holds wins over Marine City, St. Clair and Algonac. but were on the small end of a dual meet with Royal Oak and triangular meet with Mount Clemens and Pontiac, who tied for first place. The Red-Whites are favored over Croswell in the last meet of the season. Many of the athletes of the team were almost sure point winners this season, coming through with points in nearly every meet. “Stu Mc- Cabe and Oscar Hayslett were at top shot-putting form at the close of the season, both men breaking forty-three feet. Campbell in the quarter mile, Hayzley in the high jump, Linteau in the mile and Durrant in the sprints, scored in nearly every meet. Several Roosevelt track records were broken this year, including the mark for the hundred yard dash, 120 high hurdles, 440 yard dash and 880 yard dash. Five men on the squad are to take part in the regional meet at Ypsilanti. They are: Linteau, Capt. McCabe, Campbell, Durrant. and Hayslette. Jack MacDonald was this year’s efficient manager. Baseball Forty candidates for the baseball team greeted Coach Willard Blackney this spring when the first call of the diamond was sounded. This year’s squad was a team of veterans who went places, as nine letter winners were back on the job. They were: Ernie Willis, Art May, “Lefty O’Neil, “Haze” Moran, “Book” Hayzley, Ed. Buntrock. “Cud Patterson, Milky Crawford, and “Vic Sari. However, there were several fast stepping youngsters out who saw battle during the season and will win monograms. The team faced real competition which included Pontiac, Royal Oak, Fordson, Adrian, and St. Stephen’s, but the Red-White sluggers de- pended upon experience and hurling ability to carry them through a successful season.

ORGANIZATIONS 12 ORGANIZATIONS National Honor Society The Port Huron Chapter of the National Honor Society has been active for many years. The society stands for superiority in scholarship, leadership, character, and service. In December, 1932, twelve new members were elected to the society. These were Ella McIntyre, Mary Slutsky, Norman Barnes, Enid Paige, Stewart McCabe, Isabel Cochrane, Kenneth Furman, Charlotte Hamil- ton. Jean West, Ruth Campbell, Vera Patterson, and Dorothy Kopal- nick. Formal initiation ceremonies were held on the evening of January 9, 1933. The active members, Alan Brown, Kate Davie, James Crawford, and Thomas Parent initiated the new members. Music was played by Mr. Hess and two of his pupils. Reverend Jonathan Turner later gave an inspiring talk. On the evening of May 17, five new members were elected to the society. These were Betty Daly. Gladys Clark, Frances Stallbuck.
