To start things off with a bang on Friday afternoon, March 7, it began to snow and continued to snow till the country was blan- keted in eleven inches of snow. This, how- ever, did not dampen the spirit of the boys who held the first few weeks of practice in the L. H. S. gym. Here the battery mates threw the balls back and forth, the infield sharpened their eyes on rollers, and the out- fielders even had batting practice. This was not very eliicient, however, but finally Old Man Weather gave the boys a break, and they went to work on the new Stadium field. This year the team again participated in the Central Pennsy Baseball League. The team planned to play a twenty-game schedule, twelve of which were league games. Coach Angle expressed high hopes for Il banner season if he could find some good pitchers. He had a veteran returning for near- ly every position except the mound. Some of the boys who showed their value last year at one position or another as regulars or reservists are: Bob Hess, Tom Shucy, Sterl Peiffer, Ken Heberling, K'Pip Sper- aw, Bob Sando, Buck Fields, and Shor- tyl' Fields. There were some promising soph omores. We are hoping that this combination will carry the colors of Lebanon High to great heights in league play.

Veterans as well as green-horns assembled and displayed the spirit of true athletes. An- swering the first call were EdU Neal, already a name in Lebanon High Track history, Bill Viall, I-Iunsen Wagner, Bob Piarote, Ber- nard Neely, Frank Haak, Gordon Lewis, i'Russ Brandt, Earl Youtz, and 'gEd', Stew- BFI. Coach Thrush's track weakness lay chiefly in the Held and weight events, provided tal- ent could be developed there, Lebanon ex- pected to have a banner year in Track. Coach Feeser and Coach Giles divided these events between them, the former taking high jumps, broad jumps, and pole vaulting, and the latter the weight events-shot put, discus, and jave- lin. Coach Thrush took over the running events. The Cedar cinder path boys hit their stride in their opening meet with William Penn on the local field. Showing skill were Bob Piarote, who took first place in the century and 220 and who ran on the winning mile- relay team, Ed Neal, another veteran, who turned in a hrst place in the mile and an- chored the mile-relay team, Bernard Neely, who was second in high jumps, Gordon Lew- is, who won in the low hurdles, Hunse,' Wagner, who ran the third leg of the mile- relay, and Bill Viall, who ran a close third in the IOO. The trackmen were leading the Penn speedsters until the results of the weight and field events came in. Unfortunately for the runners, the weight men lost twenty points out of twenty-four. This gave William Penn a hard-earned victory over the Cedars by the score of 59-69. The mile-relay team ventured to Philadel- phia where they competed in the Penn Relays. L. H. S. finished fourth, the same as last year, in competition with the Big Fifteen schools. The team met a setback when their anchor man, Ed', Neal, dislocated his knee. Other members of the team who carried L. H. S. forward through a prosperous series of event- ful rneets were Haak, VVagner, Piarote, Bow- man, and Stewart.

Al- though the Cedarettes were not undefeated, their organized playing helped them end the current season with ten victories and only two losses. The first victory was recorded against an inexperienced Alumnae team 22-18. The next to fall a victim to Coach Leese's lassies was the strong Annville sextette. This 27-26 setback was the first loss in twenty-five starts for the Annvillites. ln a return game the score was reversed, as the Cedarettes went down in defeat in a 'Lnip and tuckw game 22-18. The Cedarettes again broke into the win column when they swamped the Bell Tele- phone Girls 39-15. This was the Hrst game in which all members of the squad played. A hard-Fighting Hummelstown six was subdued in a Final-quarter-spree that spelled victory for the Cedarettes by the score of 32-30. The Red and Blue girls gained another vic- tory at the expense of the Lebanon Business College 30-24 on the local court. In a pre- liminary game, the Iay-Vees eked out a win over Henry Houck 7-6. To continue with their schedule, the Cedar- ettes next conquered Schaefferstown 46-39. This Winning streak was halted momen- tarily when Lebanon ran up against a de- termined Hummelstown sextette, the final score being 28-42 in favor of Hummelstown. In the First encounter with the girls of Lititz High, the Lebanon team proved supe- rior, for they easily overcame the difficulties of a small gym, and Won 36-17. Schaefferstown again fell prey to the Cedar- ettes on the local court, losing 36-17. In a return game with Lititz, the Red and Blue again scored a one-sided victory by trouncing them to the tune of 53-19. In the final encounter of the season, the Cedarettes swamped the Lebanon Valley Sex- tette by the score of 56-24. As an added attraction the Cedarettes spon- sored a Play Day to which all the girls, who were members of the basketball teams of the high schools represented, were invited. The teams present were Annville, Schaefferstown, Lititz, and Hummelstown. Throughout the year the team was cap- tained by Mary Aurentz, and the student manager was Frances McDonald.
