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.

QLEKQZZ, Selah, who has had one of the leading baseball teams in the valley in the past, will continue their championship playing in the '45-'44 season. Last year they to- taled eleven wins out of fourteen games, losing only to Yakima and Wapato. In the opening game of the year Nachos was defeated 9-2. Four games are sched- uled with Yakima, and two each with Tcppenish, Nachos, Marquette, and Ccwiche. Returning lettermen were Bob Fitzhugh, Jerry Hoagland, Ray Swanson, Fred Johns cn, Les Sperline, and Leonard Skjelstad. Coach Ira 0verstreet's greatest problem was the lack of experienced pitchers. At the present time Les Sperline shows the most promise with Jerry Hoagland a close second. George Youngren, Bob Swanson, and Lloyd Watson will also take turns hurl- i . ng At the opening of the season Bob Fitzhugh handled the catching job, assisted by Ronney Sperllne, who also played shortstop. Skjelstad held down first base, and although Caroldean Fransen lacked experience, he made a good showing at second. Lloyd Watson and Jerry Hoagland fought it out for third and Ray Swanson and Fred Johnson played the outfield. Others who turned out were Ted Smidt, Benjie Johnson, Ralph Craton, Bob Tibbling, Adrian Brock, Glenn Smith, George Cantrell, Bob Barrett, Bob Dubuque, and Ronnie Swanson. John Campbell served as manager. ennls Under the able coaching of Everett Kcth, tennis got underway March 27. The original turnout of twenty-four boys and fifteen girls was soon narrowed down to a squad of ten boys and ten girls. The veterans fr m last year were Virginia McLaughlin and Ruth Ro man, who played girls' singles, Amy Bjork, Dorothy Valentine, Marilyn Drake and Evelyn Smith, who took their places on the squad with the newhccmers, Beverly Rhynard, Jo Christ- ensen, Evelyn Hauff and Alice Samuelson. Boys' singles were nicely handled by Dean Hartman and Dick Tyrrell. Marvin Johnson, Herbert Jackson, Gerald Brosnan and Carl Devoir were also back from the successful year before. New-comers on the squad were Maurice Jones, Jim Dcwdy, Howard Lancaster and Dick Woodin. There were matches scheduled with Tcppenish, Ellensburg and Yakima. ' I'CZC As the track season is opening, the prospects of the season are rather un- certain because of the inexperience of the boys, most of whom are freshmen and sophomores. Built from entirely new material, the team gives promise of real success in another year, but Coach Shearing will miss the veterans of previous years. Esp- ecially will the loss of Charles May be felt, in whom would have rested Selah's real chance to take many points in the valley competition. At the opening of the season, some of the more promising participants are Leonard in shot-put and Javelin, Hancock in discus, shot-put and relay: Pritchard in mile: Nelson in discus and mile and Wallace Johnson in broadjump.
