Basketball Champ A feat rarely accomplished by any basket ball team was the one in which the Sault High B team, under its new coach, Mr. Paul Hansen, completed its regular schedule and won the county and the Little Six tournament trophies. The reserves had a wealth of material in Chuck Cordon, Don Comstock, Henry Bliss, and jack and ,lim Lehman, all veterans of last year's cagers, who bore the brunt of the attack throughout the year. The Bees ran their string of victories to nine straight, not losing until they combated the Picford five. Thus the team entered the , county tournament with only one ' i ' ' defeat chalked up, emerging vie- torious to be presented The liven- ing News trophy. ln their last three games of the season, the reserves played New- berry B, Rudyard, and Hulbert, conquering each and claiming the Little Six trophy. By defeating the junior class team in the playoffs 20 to 14, the class of '41 coached Iiinar Larson captured the class basketball cham- pionship. ln the regular s e .1 s o n the Purple and Cold won five tilts while losing a lone encounter to the Juniors by a forfeit. Girls sports were rather inactive this year according to Miss Helen Kent, girls sports instructor. Marking the basketball season, the senior girls copped the championship. The Sports Council, however, with Corrine Stewart as president and representatives from each home room, kept busy all year supervising speedball, volleyball, basketball, badminton, shuffleboard, table tennis, life saving and tennis. Also the girls sponsored a gym frolic, in which all girls taking physical education participated. They held a basketball Play Day at which Loretto Academy girls were guests and they sponsored a Posture Week. During Posture Week, perfect posture tags were giving to the girls who best carried out the ethics of good posture. The week was high- lighted with an assembly where honors were presented to winners of letters, pins and a sports necklace, which was the first one given in Sault High. This went to Cora O'Connor who earned a three year honor. Page twelve ss?

The Game's The Thing. Although they started the season with only four lettermen, the Blue Devils' football record for the season was the best since 1932, losing only one game. Hopes for an undefeated season were shattered October 12 when the fighting Sault Blue Devils, lost to the Fskymos at Escanaba. Each high school in the Upper Peninsula was asked to dedicate one game as Knute Rockne Memorial Game, so the final game was set aside for that purpose. On this clay, Sault High emerged from the battlefield victorious over Alpena. Fore Teamwork and cooperation showed themselves a necessity to organizations in school as well as to a country as a whole. Through these qualities the golf team, coached by Mr. Benjamen Tamblyn, took first place in the invitational meet at Mackinaw City. Only one veteran returned to the team, Paul St. Pierre who took top scoring honors in the meet. Along with Paul Bill Barber, Ted McKinney and Bob Mende worked together for the winning of the Feetham Cup. The second and last meet of the year was that at Marquette in which the Sault team entered. Page eleven Traclcsters Rate! Making for better physical health and enjoyment as well as to try for high honors, the track team has made a record which places among the top highest ever made in Sault High. The B track team places third in the Little Six Meet and the varsity squad took top ranking at Mar- quette. Among other activities the team expected to par- ticipate were the meet at Houghton and the Memorial Day Relays at Escanaba.

Serving Sault High By sponsoring noon hour movies as well as a full length evening picture which was on the activity ticket, the Audio-Visual Club worked this year to pay for the Bell-Howell motion picture projector, an aim which it did not quite accomplish. Another service which the boys of the organization performed was that of showing the many classrooms movies. When Mr. Elwyn was promoted to the superintendency, the club lost its adviser, who, to quote the members, was its founder and ardent booster and through whose untiring effort made the organization operate smoothly and efficiently. The club had five important committees this year: the equipment cleaning group, noon hour films group, the teaching committee, Saturday morning films committee, and the publicity committee. Heads of these groups, named in respective order, were john Widenhoefer, John Traige, Dick Murphy, Dave Knox, and Marsh Miller.
