THE ROUNDUP 1932 R. H. S. DRAMATIC CLUB During the past school year of 1931-1932 the Dramatic Club has been very active. Numerous plays and readings have been given at the meetings. A one-act play, “Grandma Pulls the Strings,’’ was presented for a school assembly. Some of the members assisted the Junior Class in their annual program, “The Fun Revue.” At this time they presented a one-act play, “Grandma Knows Best.” In the early part of the year a committee selected pins which are to be the standard emblem for the Dramatic Club of Rawlins. The official pin is a laughing clown with an “R” on its forehead. The tryouts which were held at the first meeting were very successful and our enrollment consisted of twenty-eight members. In May the Club held a banquet. The Senior members prepared the dinner and the program was presented by the Junior members. Miss Lelah Erwin, public speaking and English instructor in the high school, has ably sponsored us and directed our plays throughout the year.

T H E ROUNDUP 19 3 2 R. H. S. BASKETBALL The Rawlins Outlaws made a great showing during the 1931-1932 season. Out of 16 scheduled games 9 were won, not including the Green. River tournament. Some of the games were very clos'ei and interesting, but at times the plays slowed down. At the beginning of the season a great number of boys went out for practice. C ach Engstrom drilled them on fundamentals for a few weeks and then he began to form a team. The boys soon showed increased speed and ability. The two games before Christmas were practice games with Hanna. Each team won a game. After Christmas hard work was resumed. Our basketeers played the Saratoga five here and defeated them by a double score. Then the real test as to how good the team was, came. The Outlaws played Laramie in an exciting game, but were defeated 26-21. A “slick and slippery time” was had by all at Saratoga, at which time the Panthers took us into camp to the tune of 25-23. The highly polished floor was too much for the boys. Although the Outlaws were somewhat upset ovie»- their bad fortune, they werp ready for the rext game and .revenge was taken out on Superior. Hanna was our next foe. A hard fight was anticipated and such proved the case. The Outlaws won by the score of 23-21 in a “blood curdling thriller.” Rawlins wras due for another upset, and it came when we played Laramie High at Laramie. The game was uninteresting and rather slow'. Thie next evening the Prep gave our basketeers a good battle but came out on the short end of the score. 21-16. Reliance arrived at the Outlaw camp February 5, only to be defeated 33-12 They fought hard but could not win. The Outlaws plained one of the best games of the season at Rock Springs on February 11. Up until the last 3 minutes it wras either team’s game. However. thie Miners managed to slip in “a couple extra” to win 24-19. During the same trip Rawlins made 35 points to Superior’s 24, and 37 points to Reliance’s 20. The Outlaw’s were not in top form during thiese last two games. The Pen City Cagers wiere defeated on February 18 on their home floor by Rock Springs in a poor game of basketball. The next game was w’ith the fighting Preps, w’ho showed plenty of fight but failed to make enough baskets. The score was 23-15 in favor of the Out- law team. The last game of the Outlaw’ schedule occurred on the Hanna floor February 25 when Hanna won 35-22. The Outlaws were tired because of their long, muddy trip, and were not in good form. Finally the Green River Tournament came. Rawlins was the “dark horse,” but no one knew it until the Outlaws defeated Lyman 35-28 in what many people considered the best game of the tournament. By sensational stalling for 4 minutes they drew out the Lyman defense and scored 3 baskets during that time. No one with the exception of Coach Engstrom suspected that Rawlins could defeat the predicted tournament winner. Coach remarked that they could do it whenever they “clicked.” Whom should we play next but Hanna? Each team had w’on two games and this one would tell the tale. The game was slow due to overcaution on the part of both teams, but wras interesting nevertheless. Until the last few seconds the game was anybody’s, but the Outlaws came out of it one point ahead. 17-16. Then Rawlins played for the Championship! The Outlaw’s played Rock Springs for the District Championship. They new the battle would be hard because they had already been defeated by the Miners. The game w'as too slow, but much fight and spirit was shown by both sides. The Outlaws were downed 21-10, so the Rawlins Cagers went home, having won second place, and carrying a cup to show’ for it. Including the tournament the Outlaws w’on 11 games out of 19 during the season and proved that they had basketball in them.
