Basketball The Selah Vikings clinched second place in the North Central District Conference, and won the play-off from the Naches Rangers. The Vikings lost the game with Cle Elum, the victory entitling Cle Elum to represent their dis- trict as second place entry of the valley. The defeat by the Cle Elum Miners was no reflection on the ability of the Vikings, as Cle Elum later won the Valley championship. The Selah Hi hoopsters gave the Cowiche Redskins, runner- up to the valley champions, a harder struggle than many of the tournament favorites did. Louis Tyrell, six-foot senior center, served as the Viking captain and was one of the outstanding players on the team. Tyrell was the best passer on the team and also one of the leading scorers. Bob Stephens, flashy junior guard, was a consistent high scorer and an excellent all-around player. Jim McClain, junior guard, was one of the team's best checkers. Fred Bergren, tall forward, tipped in many shots on rebounds from the backboard, while Ralph Seibly, senior forward, was one of the team's best long shots. Bob Burgner, a senior, played all three positions equally well and at the close of the season was chosen honorary captain. Other members of the team included Douglas Eustace, Roy Stephens, Don Williams, Lester Watkins, Bill McDonald, and Frank Hardy. Nine of the first twelve players will return for next season. Ira Overstreet coached the Vikings for his third season. Pagf'22

Ising If the juniors of the audience felt any inclination to take a cue from their play title early in the evening of November twentieth, they changed their minds and relaxed along about the second act. Hold Everything proved a success both artistically and financially. Doug Eustace played up to pretty Juanita Wright a ln Robert Taylor, with understanding Corinne Phillips offering an encouraging hand. Barbara Thompson added another feather to her act- ing cap with her characterization of the superstitious colored maid who became frighteningly involved with two crooks. fast-talking Bob Stephens and a little-too-nervous-for-his-own-good Warren Jones. Gladys Herring threw her minor role into prominence with her frantic attempts to give her three more ambitious than talented daughters, Helen Shepherd, Mary Jeanne Glenn and Lois May MeEvers, a chance at Hollywood. But when Ken Lyons detects the set-up's defects with hotel proprietress Ellen May Sheets unwitting aid, the stolen money is returned to rich bank- er Albert Matson. with villains Jones and Stephens receiving just deserts. to say nothing of the delectible dessert the leading man received as the curtain closed, F RU ITSP UR lmgffyl

Baseball The Selah Hi baseball nine brought the winning streak up to 26 consecutive victories in North Central District competition. The 1937 edition of the Viking diamond warriors was composed mostly of sophomores and juniors. Sev- eral veterans, however, reported for duty this spring. Ralph Seibly, senior, was the hustling second sacker, and the hot corner was held down by Jim McClain and Lester Watkins. Bill McDonald, smooth-fielding shortstop, was also one of the team's heavy hitters. Don Williams, flashy-fielding first sacker, led the Viking plate attack with a .357 average. The outfield was patrolled by Roy Stephens, Don Klang, and Dwayne Daly. The Viking pitching staff was composed of 'Lefty' Bob Stephens, the No. 1 hurler, Dwayne Daly, senior right hander, and Dale Anderson, sophomore fireball ace. Other players included Kevin Shepherd, left-handed first baseman and Bob Mead, freshman utility player. The Vikings expect to continue their baseball championship record next year with the return of a veteran team. Page23
