Friday, May May Cyrus at Starbuck ccoc, .,.,., W ednesday, May 25 24 27 Baseball practice was begun the first week of May under the direction of Coach Harris En- gebretson. Very cold weather and rain put the damper on regular practice, so it was necessary to sneak in a practice now and then. Due to the irregularity of practice the team was not able to be up to par the first part of the season. Shortly after official practice was begun those out for baseball met to elect their cap- tain. Brenton Myking was elected. The first game of the season with Wheaton ow Friday, May 6 was postponed a day due to tain. On Saturday, May 7 on a cold, bleak day Conch Engebretson took his team to Wheaton. There were many hits and errors on both sides. We were in putrid form that day and fell victim by the score, ll-3. The following Monday, May 9, We journeyed to Brooten. The first three innings found both teams tied, but later Brooten drew away and at the final inning the score stood, 9-3 with Star- buck on the smaller margin. Un May ll we went to Hancock. With grim memories of a heartbreaking defeat by Han- cock in the sub-district basketball tournament we aimed to reverse the story in baseball. Our first victory really was a victory. In the last of the seventh Hancock had as yet failed to count, but in that inning they broke loose with 2 points. Final score 11-2, Starbuck. On May 17, on a cold, drizzling afternoon we engaged Cyrus in a game on the latter's dia- mond. It proved to be a slugger's battle. Four triples and three home runs took the spotlight in hitting. The game was close from start to finish. We led the scoring in the last edition of the final inning, but free trips to the initial bag and errors on our behalf made it possible for Cyrus to emerge the victors, by the slim mar- gin, 13-12. This concludes all the games played thus far. The remainder of the games will not be publish- ed as the annual goes to press at this date. We have four games left, return games with Wheaton, Brooten, Hancock, and Cyrus. We al- so have reasons to believe that the second half tgie season will be more successful than the ll'S . Those out for baseball include the following: Marvin Hagen is the student manager, and Er- nest Hioum is the assistant manager. Pitchers Brenten Myking tcaptaini, Archie Otteson, Norman Hageng catchers, Boyd Opheim, Wal- ter Nelsong Infield, Vernon Larson, Clarmont Dahlseng, Orville Dahlseng, Henry Nodlandg outfield, Marvin Hagen, Lester Lorvig, John Anderson, Arden Brenden, Earl Person, Syd- ney Aslagson, James Erickson, Lester Sanvik, Perry Berg, Arvid Sylvester, Wally Houim and Eldred Opheim. Since the above article was written, two games have been played. One with Brooten, Starbuck emerging as victors by a score of 8 to 43 the other played with Cyrus, Starbuck won by a score of 6 to 4. The game with Han- cock was forfeited so the bucks have another game to add to their victory column.

Glenwood here BOYS' CLASS TOURNAMENTS Having been defeated the three previous years in the tournaments, we the seniors took it upon ourselves to turn the tables on our fellow class teams. In the first game against a small but deter- mined Sophomore team we emerged victorious. The next game was to be played with the Juni- ors who had defeated the Freshmen the night before fdespite the fact that the Freshmen felt assured of the tournamentj By means of a petition the losers of the first two games demanded that the two games be forfeited. A general discussion among the mem- bers of the teams gave much heat and little light, so an arbitration committtee consisting of two representatives from each class, coaches, and class advisors met to settle the differences between the classes. At this meeting the teams were evened up by letting only those who had seen little action, if any, during the season and previous seasons, play. The next week we again defeated the Sopho- mores and met the Freshmen fwho finally de- feated the Juniorsl the next evening. This game proved very interesting and each class received splendid support from their remaining classmates. We finally came through with a victory and the championship by downing the Freshmen 32 to 28. GIRLS' BASKETBALL Girls' Basketball has been organized to pro- mote an interest in athletics among the high school girls. In the year of 1934 and 1935, we, as Fresh- men, enthusiastically joined the girls' basket- ball team. We practiced twice a week under the able supervision of Miss Olson fMrs. Irving Helgesonl, our Physical Education teacher. In our inter-class tournament, we surprised nearly everyone by beating both the Senior and Jun- ior teams in hard-fought battles and by win- ning the tournament. In the Sophomore year we hoped to make as good a showing as in our Freshmen year, but fate was against us for even though we defeat- ed the Freshmen team, we lost to the Seniors in a close-scoring game. This was a great dis- appointment to our team, but we had to be sat- isfied with second place in the tournament. During the year 1936 and 1937, we practiced two nights a week at four o'clock under a new Physical Education teacher, Miss Mae Schendel, who proved to be of great help in our basketball practices. Our defeat of the previous year had not made us lose all hope of winning the inter- class tournament. We practiced every chance we could and made a resolution to win. Our ef- forts Were rewarded, for we triumphed over the Sophomore and Senior teams by winning championship of 1936-1937. Our last year of high school was at hand, which also meant the last year of basketball playing for our team. We had won the inter- class tourney twice and this was our last chance. Could we win again? Yes, we must! And we all decided to play our best. When the time for the tournament arrived, we were quite ex- cited, but we kept calmg and by really bearing down, we conquered the Freshmen and Sopho- more teams and carried off the 1937-1938 championship. This victory completed a very successful basketball career for our team, for we had received second place one year and won the championship three years. Our high school basketball playing is now over, but we will always remember the many pleasant times we had with our worthy oppon- ents and classmates.

pil?-I0 20 -THE l'Hll'l'l Vl VY- 1 U Il N Senior Class Play HEARTS AND HATS Hearts and Hats, a comedy drama in three acts written by Robert St. Clair, was given by the Senior Class Friday, May 13, 1938, The play was coached bpy Miss Lilian Charlesworth. Because she has very little money, and be- cause she must move out west so her mother may recover from lung trouble, Beatrice Gar- ret opens a small millinery shop in Dusty Bend, Colorado. As an assistant, she takes on Kitty Kirk, a chorus girl who has been stranded when the theatrical company she was with broke up. Justin Garret, Beatrice's brother whom they had given up for dead, unexpectedly arrives, to the great jcpy of his mother, Helen Garret. Bea- trice owes for her rent but Bob Stuart, a for- mer friend of Justin's during the war, steals the money from Willie Hoyden, the town sheik, gives it to Emma Hartman, the landlady, again steals it from her and returns it to Willie. Kit- ty falls in love with Justin who tells her that he has escaped from a Denver Sanitorium where he was placed by his cousin, Harry Hodges. Justin's whereabouts are discovered and people arrive from Denver to take him back. Kitty comes to his rescue by making him stay on the Arizona side of the State line, which runs down through the center of the store. It seems that one who is declared insane in Colorado is con- sidered sane in Arizona until he has been exam- ined in that state. How Justin eludes the law and the reason for his incarceration come out in a most startling manner. Beatrice consents to marry Bob Stuart and makes a success of her business in an unusual manner.
