Boy£ Activities With two lettermen back from the previous ear and a good husky bunoh of prospects, along with an excellent coach, we entered the fall sport of football. The training was tough. With none of us used to getting ■'kicked around, it was quite a sight to see us after the first two weeks. Our first game was at Three Forks, in which we were defeated. But through the whole season we lost just one more game. Everyone that took football this year earn- ed a letter. We played Ennis, Whitehall, Boulder, and Three Forks.

We defeated the opposing team by a lead of one point. From then on we played a series of close games. Sheridan won nine games to the loss of six. This put us in the rank of fourth best team in the district. When Tournament time rolled around, we came out one better than we were ranked, enabling us to bring home the third place trophy. We defeated Virginia City in the first game which gave us a certainty of fourth place. Dillon defeated us the second night which eliminated us for first or second place. The final night we defeated Ennis and brought home our third place trophy. Our winnings this year have been largely due to our coach, Ernest Vetter. SITTING: D. McGregor, W. Elser, N. May, B.

HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The Horae Economics Sigma Club of Sheridan High School has enjoyed many activities during the year. First the girls enjoyed a camping trip last sommer at the Smuggler mine where they hiked and ate. J Later activities consisted of e Barn Dance Christmas Party at Twin Bridges, and Come As You Are Party; the girls also participated in the Horae Economics District Convention at Dillon in which Delcine Smith was elected District President. Our finel events were our Annual Slumber Party and a Co-ed party. Since our Sigma Club v.8s organized in 19U2- L3, it has steadily iraporved in activities and hes increased in interest to the girls of our high school. GLKK CLUB On Sept. 10, 194$, 38 high school girls registered for Glee Club under the direction of Mrs. Doris Kitt. Our selections at this time included a review of music obtained prior to this year. After training our voices for glee club again, Mrs. Kitt ordered new music with which to widen our display of selections. We first worked on Smoke Gets in Your Eyes and Look For the Silver Lining . Then our descant books came, which provided several novelty numbers. For Christmas music, we worked up a few Christmas selections and enjoyed showering the townsfolk with carols a few nights before Christmas. We started on spring music immediately afta the holidays and made plans for a Spring Fes- tival which was held at Sheridan in May with other schools attending. The Glee Club girls are looking forward to even greater accomplishments next year. FIRST ROW: B. Gecunell, C. Nelson, B. Bennetts, B. Dillard, B. kayo, E. Bieler, Id. Hodges, J. Sh6ldon, J.
