THE PROPHET IRMA MORRILL, CAPTAIN-She's a forward and a master at circling the ball with the ring. Don't forget the ball, Tootsie, and roll your eyes. LEONA HUDSON1Sh6,S small, but mighty good at baskets, we will miss her next year. Her chief delights in life are basketballs and little Buicks. DOROTHY BROWN-4'Dot started the season as guard and finished as jump- ing center. Dorothy and Cecile play lightning team work. Dorothy goes to the country to study for teachers exams-F CECILE LUNDELL-Side center. Choose lightning or Cecile, one's as fast as the other and they never strike twice in the same place. Cecile's stage struck every place but on the basketball floor. RUTH WARNER--Guard. First, last and always cool headed. She aims quite high-looking for the aviator. LUCILLE SwANsoN-Lucille started the season as jumping center but finished playing a steady consistent game at guard.Training rules are her greatest abom- ination. FLORENCE WYIRTH-High or low, over or under, you can't get the ball beyond that guard. She knocks them down like nine pins. CLARA LANCASTER-WhCfC ever you put Clara she's right there: Side center, guard or forward, if you don't think so ask Lyndon and their Lona.

THE PROPHET TRACK This year, for the first time, the school has organized a track team. While the squad is small it is a beginning and we are already entered into meets. Those out for track are: Curry, Weekley, Peters, and Burdsall. BASEBALL Another organized sport which is making it's debut this year is baseball. It has a better following than the track team and there are some promising players out for practice. Catcher, Burdsallg Pitchers, Waite, Curry, Johnson, Infield, Adams, Mathis, Fritsch, Peters, Lewis, Mabel, Fadden, and Lester Burdsallg Outfielders, Egbert, Woodward, LaDine, Dingman, Gibson, Prichard, and Sund- berry. SUMMARY This year has been a year of development in all lines of Athletics. Many men have shown up who need only practice to make top notch players out of them. While the loss of Curry and LaDine will be deeply felt, we have some promising men for their places and we are glad that we do not lose more than two such valuable men. With the majority of the football team left, basketball with its strong following, and baseball and track in their infancy, P. H. S. has every reason to look forward to a successful season in all branches of athletics in the year of ,23 and.'24. 1923 Forty-,raven
