This year, because of the late opening of school, the girls' sports program has been somewhat changed. Soccer had to be dropped, but in its place, there was another ping pong tournament. The first ping pong tournament was held in the fall and Evelyn Smith paddled her way to first place. The volleyball tournament was especially good this year. The up and coming Soph- omores took first place with the Juniors and Seniors tying for second. The members of the All Star Volleyball team chosen from those who turned out were: Bette Barrett, Fran- ces Hoydar, Virginia McLaughlin, Marilyn Drake, Evelyn Hauff, Darlene Walker, Ruth Rod- man, Barbara Johnson, Evelyn Smith, Irene Haworth, and Jo Christensen. Miss Sparks was unable to choose any one player as best, but she chose Evelyn Hauff for her speed, Irene Haworth for her steadiness and reliability and Barbara Johnson for her serve. Next came basketball. This seemed to be the favorite sport. At-the end of the tournament the Seniors were in first place and the Sophomores were in second. Chosen for the All Star team were Evelyn Hauff, Marilyn Drake, Darlene Walker, Ruth Rodman, Jro Christensen, Virginia McLaughlin, Frances Hoydar, Bette Barrett, Jackie Hamilton and Irene Haworth. After basketball, track began. To earn many points in this sport a girl must be fairly good. There are many different things to do, each one requiring skill. With the warm spring weather came baseball turnouts. Despite the fact that tennis takes many of the girls, there is always a good turnout for this sport. Hikes were held all year except when it was extremely cold. Ruth Rodman, hike chairman, planned the hikes and led them.

SECOND TEAM BASKETBALL The second team basketball squad completed a very successful season, with 11 victor- ies to their credit, and 1 defeat. The one loss was by two points in a thrilling overtime game with Yakima. They co peted against Marquette, Toppenish, Wapato, Yakima, Alumni and Thorp. Thorp, B league titlist of Kittitas valley, was beaten, 29-30, in probably the most sensational game of the schedule. Those earning second team letters were Dean Hartman, Jim Matson, Jim Dowdy, Wally Johnson, Ronnie Swanson, and Glen Smith. Some of the other boys who helped to make it such an outstanding year, although they didn't qualify for awards, were Herb Nelson, John Hageman, Dean Johnson, Dick Woodin, Carl Amos, Bob Barrett, Harold Swanberg, Bob Dubuque, and Paul Gauge, The team was coached by Mr. Koth, and Joe Rust served as manager. f -'rf fi N-1 lv' f sJ T Y 4 -cl.

This provided a great deal of entertainment for both the players and specta- tors, with everyone cheering for his favorite team. When the game promised to become too rugged, things were whistled to a stop by nref'. Approximately sixty boys participated. The teams were chosen by eight first team players from boys who were not members of either the first or second teams. The teams were chosen by Herbert Jackson, Dick Tyrell, Fred Johnson, Ray Swanson, Bob Tibbling, Jack Graham, Jerry Hoagland, and Ronnie Sperline. The latter's team was composed of FFA boys. Two round robin schedules were played, with Graham and Sperline winners in the first, and Swanson and Tibbllng as the victors in the second. By the score of 21-15, Swanson defeated Graham. In a thrilling overtime contest, Tibbling won from Sperline, 21-17, but went on to lose to Swanson, 20-23 in the champion- ship game. In the consolation tussle, Graham downed Sperline's squad, 28-26, but then lost to Tibbling's hoopsters, 21-14. Members of Ray Swanson's champions were: A1 Robinson, Walter Payne, Joe Rust, Bob Fitshugh, Marshall Morris, Bob Dubuque, and Paul Gauss. Bob Tibb1ing's second place winners included Ted Smidt, Dick loodin, Don Troxell, George Lambert, Glen Glore, lervin Johnson, and Glen Smith. 24
