BASKETBALL The basketball quintet of 1928, which won the first twelve games of the season from practically all of the outstanding teams of Northeast Nebraska, was defeated in both the Wayne and state tournaments. After winning the first two games in Class “A” at Wayne, Randolph was defeated by West Point and her reasonable hopes for another trophy had vanished. Randolph then journeyed to Lincoln to contend in the state tournament, but lost the first game to Columbus on the Coliseum floor. The Randolph team was renowned as one of the speediest and cleverest ever produced by our high school. The high point of the season was the decisive victory over Norfolk by the score of 27 to 18 on the Norfolk floor. It is our sincere aim and hope that those who will step into the shoes of those departing players will, as they have done, give their unselfish and concentrated efforts to glorify the name of the school and perpetuate the deeds of the squad of 1928.

TRACK The outstanding members cf the track squad for 1927 were: Carl Allison, Loren Andrews, Vernon Vradenburg, Ferdie Manzer, and Ivol Shearer. Our track squad cinched the Hartington trophy of which it held two legs, Bloomfield holding one leg. This was the only trophy won during the season. Randolph entered the Nelight meet winning second place, and nosed c ut Neligh and Columbus for second place in the Norfolk meet. New school records were set in the hundred yard dash, the 440, high and low hurdles, the pole vault, and the discus. Bright prospects for the years of 1928 insure keen track and field competition for our neighboring cities. As material evidence of Randolph's athletic success we desire to present the photo on the opposite page. These are the prizes officially given to our high school and rightfully earned by our athletes, through the well aimed endeavors of our coaches. We do not wish to exaggerate in honoring these prizes, but we do intend to acknowledge respectful regard to those who willingly contributed to their accession. We realize that trophies cannot be acquired in any way other than by an actual displaying of athletic ability. Therefore, these trophies are the tokens which represent different climaxes in our athletic history. Years of individual effort with precise and concentrated teamwork at opportune moments explains their acquisition. Education is our primary aim in school. With education, athletics goes hand in hand, though secondary in importance. We rank high in scholastic accomplishments and it may be seen from the above that we have also made enviable records in basketball and track. Victory is sweet and we ai-e proud of Randolph’s athletes who have made it possible through consistent training, teamwork, and ability that we have come into possession of these trophies. We take pride upon seeing these displayed in our high school for we know the requirements which made them ours. We hope that these memories will spur our future athletes to give their best, that our school may be held in high esteem both in learning and excellence in athletic achievements. May a striking attitude of enthusiasm prevail in the minds of all those who look upon and comprehend this picture. May it inspire future athletes to the same untiring devotion as has been displayed by our athletes in past years.
