Basketball. This year there were twelve girls that reported for basketball. This was a vary large percentage, considering all the extra-ourrioular activities that are offered. This was the first year that we were allowed to use the busses on our trips, and this was also a great help in continuing the sport. We played four games and won three. The losing game was oredited to Ennis. In February we received an invitation from Ennis to attend a six-team tournament. As our ooaoh, Miss Elva Sword, has resigned because of ill health, it was doubtful that we were going. Through the courtesy of Mr. M. J. Hickey, the boys ooach, we were allowed to attend and oopped third place. Pep Club. Staunoh rooters for their team was the Pep Club, under its cheer leaders Lorraine Kurflss and Bonnie Bennetts. New yells were composed by its members, and costumes for the oheer leaders were made by Miss Soott and the cheer leaders. We traveled to the Tournament in Dillon to yell for the boys, and excellent cooperation was given there, as well as at all our home games. Home Eo. Club. I ro porties were given by the Home So. Oirla under the direction of Miss CharlotVe 'Scott. Our fell party was a Barn Denoe with all of the decorations. Mascot of the evening was a football dummy, looking every inoh a bronoho buster in his cowboy garb. Our last party was a Scavenger hunt, dancing party, and a slumber party combined. Everyone has really appreciated the work the Home Eo. Club has done, and their cooperation in all our activities. Glao Club. Thirty-five girls under the direction of Mrs. Doris Kitt have made up the Glee Club this year. They have made two public appearances; one at the Christmas play, and the last at an Educational Meeting. We have newer and more difficult music, and we have worked on it almost continuously. We have been asked to attend a Music Festival in Twin Bridges this year, and appropriate music has been arranged. Later in the year, we plan to sing for Bacculaurete and Commencement, hoping that our music will speed the Seniors on their way to Success. 12

As the 1945 basketball season came to s close and as spring returned once more, seventeen energetic students reported out for track. Our workouts began with rugged callisthenics in the gymnasium and later, a little tumbling to get us in shape. The weather, which isn't quite warm enough yet, has permitted little outdoor work, but as the sun climbs farther north, seversl dual meets are being planned with neighboring schools. Our boys will meet competition with track squads from Virginia City, Twin Bridges end possibly Ennis or Whitehall. If any of them show noticeable talent, and I'm sure they will, a few of the beat may plan on participating in the annual state track meet in Missoula, May 11 and 12th. 4 A BOTS ACTIVITIES Football. The first day of school this year found a group of boys reporting to Coaoh HIokey with the hope of forming a football team. Among the group were Erwin Stansell, Ribs May, Bill Schowe, Jay Stansell, Art Chenowlth, and Bob Schneider, all returning lettermen from last year's Southern Montana Champions. Around these was built the neuoules of the squad. Although we didn't win the ohampionshlp, we had a successful season, winning 5 out of 7 games. Basketball. The first call for basketball by Coach Ilickey, was answered by 30 boys with the hope of making the Varsity. Returning lettermen from last year were Dale Elser, Jay Stansell, Erwin Stansell, and Bob Schneider. We had a heavy schedule and managed to win, approximately, 50$ of our games. We placed fourth in the Dist- rict Tournament held at Dillon due to a loss of one point to Whitehall in the final game. We played 23 games winning 11.
