Girls' Basketball After a long drawn out struggle, the girls finally landed on top to receive the title of Champions of the County . Not only the players but the whole school is puffed up over it. The girl's trophy serves as a mate to the one the boys won last year. The girls started out at a fast pace, winning eight straight games. Through an error they were defeated by Union City. After the second Albion game things began to look as though it were no use. However the girls kept up the spirit and no more games were lost, Then came the bomb during the Easter vacationk'Albion and Union were tied for first place. Union High given the chance to have another tilt with Albion, did not throw it away. The result was that Albion went home April 8, weeping and disappointed team. ,lean Larson, as captain led Unions' team onthe floor 24 times only to be defeated four times. Coach Jennings and Manager Hassler deserve a lot of credit for the success of the team. The anticipation for next year is high. The team is losing but three lettermen. jean Larson, Mildred Smith and Ruth Teudhope. It is true they will be missed but we cannot claim them but for four years.

Class League This year at Union a class basketball league was introduced. Athletic director Mr. Von Neida arranged for all games and refereed. Much interest was shown by the four class teams. Each team played the other three times, making a total of nine games for each class. After the first few contests, it looked as though the title would be settled between the Juniors and Seniors. Then the Freshmen toppled the upper classmen. Things looked pretty dark for the Big Boys until the Sophomores trounced the Juniors. That placed the Juniors and Seniors in a tie for the title. The game to decide the championship was played on Wednesday evening, April tenth. The game started off at a fast pace. The Seniors made the Hrst score on a foul. From then on the upper classmen had things pretty much their own way, the final score being eighteen to fourteen. The following members of the winning team received medals for playing in forty per cent of the games: Michael Chesko, Manager and forward, Roger Morgan, forward, Fredrick Daggett, forward, Stenec Groff, centerg John Bonnett, center, George Hassler, guard, Richard Clisby, guard.
