We met the St. Joe Catholics for the third time. The Catholics took the Cards 26-20 in a hard-fought game. This ending the season, the Annual Class Tournaments and the Will Be” and Has Been games were next in line. The Class Tour- naments came out with Seniors taking the Freshmen 70-22, and Juniors taking the Sophomores 20-17. The Seniors took the championship over the Juniors 29-20. The Has Beens beat the Will Bes in a 27-26 victory. Winding up the season the P.T.A. gave both squads a very delicious meal at Holly's Grill and bid farewell to the Seniors, Siewert, Geipel, Geisler, Pivonka, and Markwald. The Seniors give the best luck to the next year's team leaving Bodjack, Huebner, Ott, Schaefer, and Klackle to bring about a very successful season. eM-ail Ga idLi! Page twenty-five

In many respects this year 1942-1943 will remain in the hearts of this year's squad of the wonderful athletic years at Stevensville High School. With only a trifle practice sessions before the basketball season opened with a very hard-fought game which came out 30-26 after two overtimes with the Cards on top. Shearer's squad looked ragged when their neighbor Bridgman took the game 43-32. Eau Claire with a fast outfit outplayed the Cards, and Berrien Springs in the last seconds won a 19-17 edge on the Cards. Then Bar- oda's strong team gave the Cards a run with a 41-26 edge. After vacation Stevensville came back with a one-point margin on the St. Joe Ponies at the whistle, and taking Galien in a easy victory 23-18. We then ventured over to Baroda to meet the Bulldogs in the second encounter. The Bulldogs came on top again with a 39-28 ending. New Troy came out on top and Galien fell for the Cards again 24-18. Eau Claire, New Troy, Berrien Springs, St. Joe Catholics, and Bridgman took the Cards in hard-fought games. This ending the season by a far from good average with four wins and 11 losses. We had a good defensive team but the low scoring put the Cards on the losing side. Page twenty-four
