This is the most successful basketball team. to rbe turned out by Se-bewaing H.igh.

The Indians won six straight games in league com- petition which puft them'way ahead of the field. At first Coach Lane th-ought that rtihis feat would not be recog- nized by the usual trophy, but when all the coaches got together at Cass City to vote on the subject tlhey voted in favor of giving a trophy to Sebewain-g. The students can be very proud of the trophy when it arrives in school. Sebewaing 'has always been known as a football town but it is gradually c-hang-ing into a basketball town. The first five that usually started every game w-ere: Paul Schweitzer, guardg Sam Klling, forward, Tom Kundinger, centerg Bob Loeffler, guard, and John Mis- chung, forward. They proved to be the winning combin- ation. They always had that extra push when they needed it and in tlhis way pulled a few of the games out of the fire. The reserve five, who saw service were: Dave Rocha, forward, Mike Kling, forwardg Bob Denner, guardg Herman :Nast, guard and Kenneth Marotzke, center. Paul Schweitzer was elected captain of the team.

Activity SCHOOL DAN CES Something new 'has been started in Sebewaing i-n the way of entertainment, although it has been going on for several years. I't's the school dances! Any special occasion is celebrated with a dance now. Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, vacation, ifare- well parties, Valentine's Day, Junior-Senior Banquet, or just dances. The F. F. A. tried something novel in the form of a box social and square dance. It turned out very well. The students seem to like these dances and ask for more. The music is furnished hy 'the school recorder, but on special occasions an orchestra is hired. F. F. A. DEPARTMENT The 1943 officers of the F. F. A. were elected in September, 1942. They are as follows: President, Gerald Irion-5 vice-president, Herman Nastg secretary, Howard Irion, treasurer, Elmer Krauss, reporter, Ray Bergman. This year fourteen new members have joined. The F. F. A. classes have been moved to a new location which is just across the hall. All of their equip- ment has been moved with them which makes things better organized. The 'boys intend to raise chicks which will be purchased very soon. The crops classes will take care of the 250'chicks which wi'll be housed in the brooder at the back of the school. Due to a shortage of help and the war, the F. F A. department d-id not h-ave a Fair this year. The department sponsored a box social and square dance this Spring. Mr. Loomis and his two daughters and Dr. 'McC-rea of Gagetown, instructed the students in the art of square dance. Mr. Ernest Luther was the auctioneer. The prices went -as high as 510.00 a-nd a to-tal of 3100.00 was taken in. The money was invested in defense stamps. FARMERS' EVENING SCHOOL Instead of one evening school class, six were conducted in the Sebewaing school area this year, with a total of 140 members. Of this nwmber, 78 received Certificates of Achievement. The classes were as fol- lows: Meat Cutting, under the direction of Mrs. H. L. Voepelg Frank Koch and Ed-ward Oeschger had charge of Cropsg Charles Luckhard directed Gardening, Her- bert DeKleine as the instructor in the raising of Poul- try and Crops. To mark the end of this Winter's classes the stu- dents of the classes of Bach, Sebewaing and Kilmanagh were entertained at a banquet. The 'banquet was attended by 300 members and guests. Echoes of nineteen forty-three Stories PRESS CLUB The Journalism class has taken over the duties of publishing the Maroon and White Tribune for 'the second semester. The paper is published bi-monthly and comes out on Friday. The paper is now published on a shorter sheet, which adds considerably to the appearance of the paper. The staff of the Maroon and White Tribune is as follows: Pat Neigenfind, Editor-in-Chief, Elise Martini, Assistant Editor, Wes Rundell, Sports Editor, Micaela Uribe, Art Editor, Kathleen Liken, Business Manager, Le-ah Meyer, Exchange Editor. SENIOR PLAY The Seni-ors this year decided to do something a hit different in the way of 'a play so they chose 'Charley's Aunt, which is a comedy in three acts with three changes of scenery. The play takes place on the college grounds of St. Olde's College, England. Asct one takes place in Jack Chesney's rooms, St. Olde's College. The second act is in the garden outside Chesney's rooms. Act three is in the drawing room of Spettigue's house. The play opens' with Hack and Charley trying to write letters to their girl friends, Kitty and Amy. On second thought, they decide to ask the girls to come to the college, havin-g Charlie's aunt, who is supposed to -be coming that afternoon, act as chaperon. The girls come but the aunt does not show up, so in des- peration the boys dress up Lord Fancourt Babberly to take the place of Charlie's aumst. An- old romance is revived when Donna Lucia d'Alvadorez, Charl'ie's aunt, shows up masquerading as Miss Smythe. She recognizes her old flame, Sir Francis Chesney, Jack's father. Stephen Spettigue has quite a time when he learns that Babbs, who so neatly tricked him into 'believing him to be a woman, learns he is' a. man. Oh yes, Babbs finds his old flame too in the person of Ella Delahay. The leading characters were: Warren Finkbeiner as Lord Fancourt Babberlyg Ferdinand Gallow, Brassett, the butlerg Bob Loeffler and Jim Eisengrufber, as Jack Chesney :and Charley Wykehamg Doris Liken and Mar- ian Zimmer as Kitty and Amy, their girl friends. T-he combination of Charley's Aunt and Stephen Spettigue provided the audience with an evening of laug-hs. Jerry Millerwise was very convincing as Sir Francis Chesney. The play was directed by Miss Naomi Walzmsley. Page twenty-one
