Wars and C The most exciting hours of our school day are spent in the gym. There wearers of the green and white train for interschool competition in basketball, and there at game time a loyal student body gathers to cheer for the wildcats. At game time a united-spirit is in every heart. . .school spirit. This love for and loyalty to one's school might be compared with partiotism, a feeling which is characteristic of all good Americans. Most of the time our school is in friendly relation- ship with neighboring schools, but a state of war is declared when we clash on the athletic battlefield. At tournaments and in district play the Wildcats fight with zest and spirit- they strive to bring home the trophies. w A OIlqU.CStS 97

By win- ning all 10 conference games they finished as the undefeated champions of District 45-B. Entering2 tournaments was fun for the Wildcats.

At PRACTICE GAMES Trinidad the girls again went championship route but lost the second game. However, Betty acquired another gold basketball.
