Mmu As we look over the musical career of Sh ridan High School we see that it has b en successful in in many respects. ; This success was largely due to having two illusions as t achers at the beginning of the term. Miss Kump'er and Mr Huffine who instilled new life and and energy as they work d together—Mr. Huffine at the piano and Miss Humpler directing the singing. In a short time how vcr, we were made sad when Mr. Huffine had to leave; but his place was well fill-eel by Cecil Payn 1 who has been true and faithful in practically every musical event in school. As she graduates this y ar her presence at the piano will he missed next year. The orchestra was organized in 1918 by Mr. Huffine th n after he left Miss Rump'er took charge of it. A few numbers that have been played so frequently will, 1 presume, never be fo gotten. The Girl’s Glee Club was organized and much good has been accomp'ished. Th girls sang at the Primary Oratorical and on a few other occasions. The music in chorus class has been in int r-esting as well as beneficial. What would a school be without music? It has that soothing! charaet ristic that re’ieves our minds of the worry of toil and duties if we hut put our hearts into it. At the Big Three 0 atorical Sheridan H. S. was well represented. The orchestra was in its place r ady to begin the progr: in. The Rainbow girls sang one numbe Those that sang in this were: Jewel Wilson. Esther Cox. Iren? Wi lworth, Bertha Harvey and Christine Vickery with Margaret Anne G yle: ; t the. piano. The Dairy Maids sang two southern melodies “Kentucky Babe” and Carry Me Back to CM Virginia.” This quartette is composed of Kathryn Stahl May Jay, Jenny Lind Baker, and Francis Etidaly with Ceci Payne as the accompanist.

BASKET BALL IN S. H. S. (Continu'd from page 18) by no other team in the county. LESTER RICHARDSON, a Junior and Captain of the t am. This is “Leek’s” third year on the H. S. t am and he has always given a good account of himself. He p’ayed at center during this season and his work on defensive play deserves special merit. OBART PURDY, a Senior and back-guard on the team. “Doc’s” determination and grit kept many an opponent from scoring. He is the only one to be lost by graduation. CLYDE BURTON, a Junior and the smallest man on the team, made himself noticeable in every way at a forward position. Few players in the county are faster on their feet and when it came to scoring, “Shorty” could be depended upon. DAVID McMURTRY, a Sophomore and the other forward is almost as small as “Shorty.” These two were the smallest pair of forwards in the county. They worked in harmony and when they had the ball started clown the floor towards their basket, a goal was to be expected. “Dave” had that “never-give-up” spirit and was noted for his long freak shots. RUSSEL FRISTOE, a Junior and floor guard developed a smooth playing style and was especially in defensive playing. “Barney” should make good next year. LESTER PHEBUS, a Junior and one of the most valuable men of the eight, since he could effectiv y play any position on the t arn. He is ligtht in weight but understands all the points of the game.’Thebe” may be depend ?d upon to make a successful player on a winning team next year. NOBI.E WAITT, a Junior and substitute back-guard. This was Noble’s first year in basket ba'l and his work is worthy of mention. He easily makes baskets from the center of the floor. His great st handicap was lack of experience but should have liit’e difficulty in filling Obart’s place at back guard next year. ERNEST KIMBLE, a Junior, completed th squad. He did not enter the basket ball game until late in the season but showed some real fighting spirit. Ho played at guard. Others playing during the season were Warren Stevenson, Jack Singleton, Clifford Parr, Avery Cox, Forrest Stoops and Maurice Thistlethwaite. J. F. KING, last but not least, the coach who did his best in producing a winning team. He was successful at least in developing a spirit and an interest in the game of basket ball. As H. S. coach and in his connection as manager of the Sheridan Independent team, the city of Sheridan had basket ball enthusiasm at its highest. An earnest effort was made by Supt. Amick, Mr. King and the Business Men of the town to bring the County Basket Ball Tournament to this place. Due to better transportation facilities the tournament was held at Nobles-ville.
