For All By winning six and losing only two games, Coaci Crane's gridders enjoyed the best season in many yearsg and conversely, Sault Highls varsity cagers compiled but four victories in a fourteen ,H- game schedule. The Blue Devil football squad trimmed St. Joseph 26-Og Marquette 13--03 Newberry 6-Og Munising 34-Og Manistique 6-Og Alpena, a first night game, 19-13. To Ishpeming and to Escanaba the boys lostg scores: 6-0 and 25-0 re- spectively. The basketball season was heart breaking because seven of the Blue Devils' defeats were by one or two points. A highlight of the season was a close home game with the Devils' oldest rival, Newberry, which ended in defeat only after a thrilling overtime period. High point men for the season were Neil Muntter, Stuart Oakes, and Carl Levin with 82, 69, and 39 points respectively. Sault High can look forward to a brighter season next year since only four seniors-Bob McPherson, Carl Levin, Neil Muntter, and Clayton VanDyke-will be lost to the teamg and Coach Altenhof will have six lettermen, all juniors, returning. -...wmv As a fitting climax to their senior year, the class of '40 net swishers under the able coaching of llarold Bruce won the class championship in an undefeated sched- ule of six games. This feat was particularly notable because it is the first champion- ship the boys in scarlet and gold have won during their four years as a team. Other interesting things about the squad are that a different group of boys have played together every year and that as freshmen, the team defeated the sophomores, a rare accomplishment, for the ninth grad- ers are seldom winners over upperclassmen. sb? in ,Q The coming of spring means many things to the students of Sault High, but to the track man it has one significant meaning- individual progress and intense training. Tracksters pictured in the front row of the photograph are the varsity squad, who have competed in four meets this spring. The other boys compose the reserve and B teams, which took part in the Little Five Conference. Because cooperation is essential in a relay, it can he called a democratic type of race. A team composed of 1940 classmen won the Memorial Day relays at Escanaba last year. At the 1939 district meet, Ernest Robinson won the quarter mile and tied the record. In the Little Five Conference, the Sault B team came in second last year. 'W 'Q an '2- ,if fs-:Q ' wmgfa f WM, ' 2-W .f 3? 5: 'LL I '-Ames.. tsgsaol if 1- lfiiflil' me 3540

Certain rooms were also available for those who wished to study. Although only seven athletic groups are represented on these two pages, the school's program includes many more sports activities in its striving toward the goal, Athletics for All .
