FQCDTBALI. Considering the 1936 football season from the standpoint- of points scored agaiDS'G the opponent it looms up as the most successful season that the Blue Jays have ever experienced. The offense this season was the most powerful one that has ever ben seen in action at Raytown. The defense was weak at times but considering all of the new material which was in the lineup they performed their job as well as could be expected. The Blue Jays could be counted upon to score against any strong team and they have the distinct honor of being the only team in the Little Six Conference which scored on the powerful Red Raiders from Pembroke-Country Day. Several of the boys can be credited with excellent playing throughout the season and two of them were rewarded by being placed on the All-Star selections. John Murkin, the powerful fullback, was chosen for the first team and Jack Evans, the shiftgf quarterback was placed on the second team. Bill 'Tenny and Herschel Hinrichs also did outstanding work and will be back next year. Credit should also be given to Ralph Yankee for his showing in the last game of the season against Pembroke. Considering every angle of the past season it can be summed up as one of Raytown's best football yearsv The following boys received letters for their services: Bill Tenny, Javk Evans, John Murkin, Captain, Ralph Yankee. Herschel Hin-' richs, Edward Tenny. Leo Ellison, Jim Ellison, Kenneth Adler, Lawrence Minor, Marvin Thompson, John Bauer, Junior Walker, Bob Davis. 495 lntefrcl.ass Activitiesl The tennis and horseshoe tournaments have not been completed as yet.

1936-37 BASKETBALL SEASCDN The basketball season of 1936-37 was not what would be called a very successful season in the way of winning games, but it was a successful season in the way of getting experience for the coming years. The team as a whole this- year was made up of Sophomores and Juniors. The team of next year' loses only two veterans via graduation. Jack Evans and Ward Hunter, the only Seniors to graduate away from the team, will certainly be missed by the team because of their playing this year. The team this year won only one game against iifteen that they lost.
