BLUE AND WHITE 7 - + -- ull-:l.s' .v1'111.1k:'rIc:s The school year of 1928-1929 opened with athletic activities for all classes. The baseball for the girls started tlcolxer 2, 1928. The teams were Well organized and well represented by the classes' best material. After all schedules had been played, the victory went to the Junior girls under the t'aptainship of Rosanna Shireman. But the cold weather set in and baseball season gave place to Class Basket Ball. The girls played many exciting games and anticipated play- ing a preliminary at one of the big games. Such was not their luck how- ever, although it is hoped that next year the girls will have a Varsity and one to be proud of. The Senior girls held iirst place up to November 27, when the Sophomore girls carried off the honors under the leadership of Maxine Koch. The second basketball season was started in February. It looked quite exciting when all teams were working in perfect unison. They completed a successful Basket Ball season, and the .KN .-XI'l'RlCtTl.X'l'l0N The Community House has now been in use about two years and in that time any number of activities, including basketball games, Associa- lioii suppers, parties and plays have !.cen held there. The tkimmunity House was wanted originally as a home floor for basket- ball. liecause ol' this, there w'as at tirst some doubt expressed as to the value ol' the building in any other way. liowever, time has shown that this structure has become invaluable to the community at large and to the high school in particular. The kitchens are employed in pre- paring food t'or suppers and banquets, and refreshments for parties and dances ol' all kinds. The first floor is used often for gymnasium work and there the tables are set for the ban- quets and suppers. The second floor when cleared is used for basketball games, parties given by the school and other organiz- ations, and dances. The addition of folding chairs makes it an auditorium - 4- me fa -0 Sophomore girls again came out vic- torious in this second season under the leadership of Maxine Koch. After this schedule had been com- pleted the girls were ready to take up volley ball and track. This year's track team contained niany of last year's stars, and so was expected to be quite successful. There were nine- teen girls on the track team that was entered at Montgomery on Play Day. BOYS, A'1'u1,.E'11'1cs Boys' Athletics started in Old High with' a very interesting indoor base- ball league composed of inter-class teams. The first schedule continued from Sept. 17 to Oct. 24. The Seniors won the championship easily, beating down all opposition. The indoor sea- son was followed by the organization of inter-class basketball teams. These teams proved very valuable to Coach Schumacher for it showed up some promising material for the varsity. The coach called for the first varsity basketball practice on November 19. This first practice was very successful and 40 men reported to try out. Later on the squad was cut down to 20 men who were then caried throughout the entire season. The varsity was very proud to receive 11ew black sweat suits, in which the players made a very fine appearance. The basketball squad carried od the Iirst victory on an undefeated league record by defeating Watsontown, and ended the season by defeating its old rival, Picture Rocks. This victory made them the undisputed champions of the West Branch Basketball League. Following the basketball season the Spring indoor interclass baseball schedule was started. The Juniors are riding tie with the S-eniors for the Spring championship. The track team which carried away third place at the County Meet should be commended. After the loss of most of last year's team new material was discovered and whipped into shape, so that South Williamsport High School has a real squad of nine- teen men. seating approximately one thousand people. Here lectures have been giv- en, class exercises such as Class Day and Commencement held, and school and class plays presented. On the whole it is rather hard to imagine putting across any of these activities without the convenient Community House, so indispensable has it become. Those citizens who were instrumental in making this building a possibility have the deep gratitude of the citizens and particu- larly of the stiudents of the High School. To them the Community House has opened new vistas of activ- ity and has won their earnest appreci- ation.
