T H E Q U I L L GYMNASIUM CLASS ATHLETICS Athletics have formed one of the most important of our school activities. With the ad- dition of our new gymnasium this work is brought closer to all members of the school. The purpose of athletics is to develop our bodies physically in keeping with our men- tal development. This purpose was fulfilled through our gym classes which were held from two to three times a week and by the basketball teams, organized botl1 in the senior and junior high. The junior high school organized a basketball team which had a very suc- cessful season, playing a number of games with Lowell one of which was lost, three of which were won by the junior high. The success of the year has influenced our school in promoting basketball in the junior high in fu ture years. The education of an American school boy is not complete without the addition of a course in physical training. What good will an education do if ones health is failing and cannot allow him to do the work he has striven to do? All his school work will be in vain and his many hours of hard study will avail him nothing Our foreign counsins have wondered why the American boy has such good chances of accomplishing something in his life. This can be easily explained by the American people because of the extensive and ever widening courses in physical training advocated through- out our country. Other nations are taking up this new American achievement and apply- ing it in their own schools to make better and greater men for their country. Let it be the motto of all American citizens to promote athletics in our schools and make our coun- try an example to other nations of the world. Page 19

THE QUILL BASKETBALL Basketball, during the 1921-22 season in Reeseville High School, was not quite up to the standard of a winning team, but in spite of this fact the game was more popular than ever before with both players and spec tators. Our team though not turning out many victories was a decided improvement over the one of the year previous. The scores in most of the games were very close which sh ov 1 thai th' shool spirit was not lacking. The sportsmanship and conduct of the players was most commendable, achieving for them an enviable reputation for their clean playing which is one of the most important aims of ath- letic work. With the available material, our school will soon be able to put a winning team on the floor. CAPT. BIUKEL Vic our worthy captain, held down the position of guard in a very creditable manner. He was steady, and reliable on the defense and a good. passer of the ball when playing on the floor. O HAR TE. Nip playing forward put up a fast and flashy game which fairly bewildered his op- ponents. He is credited with scoring the highest number of points for our team. KO HN. Slim gained the distinction of being one of the main cogs in our system of team work. His ability to cage the ball from all angles of the floor made him a good forward and center. DAUFFE N BA F H. Schneider alternated with Slim at the pivot and forward positions because of his driving offensive ability and his good team work. He played each position equally well and attained an enviable record for his first year on the team. SCHOEN BERGER. Studdy, our husky guard, played a strong offensive as well as defensive game. Be- ing a hard working and consistent player who ably covered his man and the floor and en- abled him to be an ideal basket defender. O'RO URKE. Porky was a good all-round man, having the ability for filling the position of either center or forward. It was this quality that made him a desirable man to carry along with the team. KLE NTZ. Curly playing sub, could be used at the position of guard because of his good de- fensive tactics. Although he did not play regularly, he proved to be a good man at inter- cepting the opponents' team work, Page 20
