SOPHOMORE CLASS NOTES We are almost ready to take upon our shoulders the manifold duties of upper classmen. For two years we have studied in S. S. H. S., and we look back and wonder if we are to judge the future by the past. If so, we believe that the class of ‘25 will not soon be forgotten in S. S. H. S., but we also hope our past experiences will enable us to do much better in the future. When we first came here we were rather timid, we admit, but it wasn’t long before we got over it. The class of ’24 initiated us by applying artistic combinations of green and brown paint upon our faces. After this we met and organized, electing John Patton president, Fred Fick vice president, and Dalcye Thompson secretary and treasurer. Several Freshmen shared the task of writing notes for the Whistle. Miss Miles was elected sponsor. We gave our first party a short time before Christmas, and, in spite of our inexperience, it was a success, mostly owing to the ability of our spon- sor. As Sophomores we felt so dignified we didn’t even condescend to notice the Freshmen for some time. At last, however, we painted their faces and our fingers at the same time, only to discover that the Faculty disapproved of the event and proceeded to take the Freshmen in a body to the lab, where they removed the traces of their initiation. Our first duty as Sophomores accomplished, we held a class meeting and reelected Miss Miles spon- sor and John Patton president, Dewey Edmondson vice president, Williard Smith secretary and treas- urer and Mariam Metcalf reporter for the Whistle. Later Mariam went tc Denver and Tommie Hix was appointed to fill her place. The Sophomore party, given during the Thanks-

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS HIGH SCHOOL '23 GIRLS’ BASKET BALL (Left to Right)—Alpha Wandel, center; Lillian Rector, guard; Dorothy Bergen, forward; the ball, all over; Alyene Burgan, forward; Isabel Chergo, guard; Betty Ratcliff, running center. Center (front to back)—Bunny Fisher, sub.; Mabel Acton, sub.; Myrna Davis, coach. GIRLS’ A. A. NOTES The girls started the basket ball season with a great many out for practice and everyone did their share in making these practices successful. When the first team was chosen it had no effect upon the rest of the girls for they were behind the team, and wanted it to be first in Northwestern Colorado. With the cooperation of all they have made a grand and glorious showing from start to finish. Miss Myrna Davis was our faithful coach and to her is due much of the praise for such a successful basket ball season. After preliminary practice she picked out the following team: Lillian Rector and Isabel Chergo, guards; Willa Danks, running center; Dorothy Bergen and Aylene Burgman, forwards. The subs were Elizabeth Ratcliff and Mabel Acton. Each girl seemed especially adapted for her place. In October the season was opened by a game with Craig on our home court. This game was played out doors and was a lively contest from be- ginning to end. The score was 23-13 in favor of Steamboat and was a good beginning for the season. The first game that the girls played away from home was on the Craig basket ball court against Meeker. This game was played on a court covered with about six inches of sand, thus making it hard- er than ever for them to win glory for dear old Steamboat High. When the game ended the score stood in our favor 28-11. The third game of the season was played in the same court but this time with the Craig basket ball team. This time further difficulties were encount- ered for the night before it rained, consequently it was not an easy one but as you all know Steamboat could not lose so the contest ended in our favor with a score of 23-13. The basket ball season having quieted down somewhat during November the girls decided to create a little excitement as well as get in some practice, so on November 23 they chose up sides and had a lively game between the “Speeds” and “Go-Getters.” The money that was taken in at the game went toward' paying the basket ball girls ex- penses to Kremmling. The “Speeds won but only by a hair’s breadth. Thanksgiving morning the girls boarded the Moffat train to go to Kremmling. Should the train have been derailed or broken down in any way no one would have been surprised for the girls gave the school yells and songs from the time they left Steamboat until they reached Kremmling. They played that night on a dance floor thus having a hard time to keep on their feet, but they made a splendid score of 54-23. Something more for S. S. H. S. to be proud of. Hayden and Steamboat met for the first time in the basketball season on the Hayden floor. This game was a hard one and each team did its best. At first the Hayden girls had our team buffaloed but they soon regained their foot-hold and were
