1HK Acos of 19 9-40 had a good season in which some g x d future Cardinal material was seen. The boys played good basketball and should make good high school teams. During the season's play the team broke even in scheduled play with 4 wins and 4 losses. The wins were over Fairplain, Baroda, St. Joseph, and combined rural teams. I josses wore to Berrien tw ice, St. Johns, and Fairplain. The bovs had no luck on shots in the tournament and were eliminated by St. Johns. But the team played their best game in the tournament. The Punks showed good promise of a team of real Aces next year. I hey played their best game n the tournament when they were beaten in the closing minutes of h a much larger and stronger Lafayette team. Here's :.?ck the freshmen team and Aces of 1940-41.

on our schedule, the one loss being an overtime game with Berrien Springs, Class C District Champion. Winning only seven of our seventeen games, we nevertheless had the unusual satisfaction of having outscored our opponents 433-421. Carrying on the inspired play, the Cardinals won the District Championship with successive victories over Eau Claire and St. John’s Catholic at Dowagiac. Our surprising victory string was broken by a smooth functioning, smart and fast Burr Oak team in the semi-finals of the Regional Tournament at St. Joseph. With only two losses to the present squad by graduation, prospects look bright for 1940-41.

Since we girls played basketball mostly for the enjoyment of it, we didn’t make much of a sensation. Nevertheless, we showed good competition to our opposing teams. But next year, with more practice—something we didn't have—the team will really shine. Caroline B. and Maxine B. forwards; Evelyn Totzke and Kay Krajacic—guards, will be missed in 1940-41 as they will graduate this year. Seated: Evelyn Totzke. Caroline Bodjack, Norma Siewert, Maxine Bujack. Kay Krajacic Standing: Dora Machan. Frances Wickwire. Mrs. Smith. Coach. Viola Mischke, Doris Machan At the close of the season, we girls were given a chop sucy dinner by our coach, Mrs. Smith. We held practice once a week. The grade girls played with us and then we or- ganized teams and held regular games. We even played games with the Alumni and usually won. We girls were sorry to see the close of the basketball season as we all had had so much fun. pmjv twenty-five
